[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aLdaRiS:
I hate that a lot of you guys are over complicating this... easy peasy. stay in MDB(motochopper won't work in mdl) use motochopper and after root get either goomanager (for TWRP recovery) or rommanager (for clockworkmod) and you can flash any rom that it's on the android development forum, you don't need ODIN unless you brick it

if you bother that you may lose your money, first try downloading it freely from any site and check yourself it's performance. feel good? then uninstall and buy the legitimate ones so you can update if necessary!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SQ3.0dotJP:
Hello, I just rolled the dice and discovered cf autoroot for the 9505 does work for the Japanese DoCoMo Galaxy S4 (SC-04E). would this mean the recoveries are also the same. I wan to pull the radio and help out with your thread. Ive had several android devices(desire, desire HD, GS3; which was a bit of a support nightmare because it was so unlike other GS3s. on the other hand the HTCs were easy and all I had to do was maintain my japanese radio) so im not new to rooting. But Noone that ive seen has tried a recovery and the firmware is not yet on sammobile. think I should wait a bit or what steps should I take to attempt to install a recovery without bricking. will it just reject it or is there a potential for a brick? Hell i may be the first to attempt root that phone just came out yesterday. after toying around it appears to be a partial root, some apps requiring root access work, and some dont. also the stock recovery and NFC are dead. Ill hold off until the stock image gets posted on sammobile

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gocool767:
Anyone know the status on CM for the verizon GS4? Will it be officially supported?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] invisiblek:
Yes it will. I have a build up that needs testing currently
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kingramon0:
I will gladly help you test if you link me to your build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blackhand1001:
Yes it will be. Once the vanilla S4 ships and the sources are posted pretty much 100% stable builds will be pretty trivial as well.

Loki? And what device tree did you use?

---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 PM ----------

Definitely don't flash that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] garwynn:
I also have a test ready.... but I want to go through it with a tester.

Sticking point has been getting the Loki-fied kernel to flash.

Someone with IRC and/or Gtalk interested please PM me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kingramon0:
Voila!

I loki-fied the boot.img and here is the result:

The boot.lok I used is at stuff.ramonmedina.net/boot.lok

Wifi works, but the cellular radio does not. I haven't tested anything else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] garwynn:
Cell will probably require a corrected device tree and one change to a RIL class.

(At least for now, a much bigger and more permanent solution is in development by noobnl and others.)

Kingramon0, can you get on IRC?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kingramon0:
I can, but I have to get up for work in 6 hours, so I should probably get to bed. I will coordinate with you tomorrow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ericerk:
I'm bricked...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] garwynn:
Can you get to Odin mode and flash the MDK one click?

I've pulled my build off the server. Kernel flashes right now but found a call/data issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ericerk:
I'm back :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] invisiblek:
The boot.img should have already been loki'd =/

Does it boot a second time? My original tester wasn't able to get it to boot twice.

I have some ideas on data, check if your CDMA subscription is set to RUIM/SIM in Settings > wireless & networks > mobile networks

Also - looks like missed something in the bringup, SCH-I535 :p (just aesthetics, that would affect anything)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] garwynn:
invisiblek, I also had issues with the kernel flashing. Figured it out now, have my test PA and AOSPA up. No calls/data yet though. (Mind if I try your idea?)

CM is rebuilding now. I'll post mine when it's ready - should boot and function similar to Sprint minus the call/data. Logcats from overnight suggest it can't even find the modem so I've posted what I got (log was from AOKP but telephony/RIL is all CM on that build) to noobnl for advice also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] arcanexvi:
What the hell have you guys been doing all night? Slacking? I expected to wake up to fully functioning nightly CyanogenMod builds :P

/endsarcasm

On a serious note I'm very happy to see movement already. I'm pretty much the most patient person in the world when it comes to waiting as my last few phones have been Motorola which has taught a certain appreciation for everything that goes on in the development community. Keep up the good work and if you need a tester count me in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kingramon0:
I saw that. I took your boot.lok and tried to flash it manually in adb shell, but it said it was not a valid boot image. So I grabbed the aboot and patched a fresh one and it worked when I inserted it back into your image.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Berzerker7:
Couple bugs I've found at first glance (I have yet to reboot out of them as I'm transferring, but I think that will fix one of them)

1. Wifi dropped for me, and came back, but the second time it did, the settings window wouldn't open at all from anything and wifi never came back for me.

2. The screenshot preview in the notification panel is completely grey, but the image itself is not.

3. Carrier string says something like " EMPTY" (offset a bit).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] draya1986:
Can't seem to get rid of the 4G symbol in the notification bar when I turn on wifi. Any suggestions?

Hi folks,

We need a trusted person who can maintain cyanogenmod. Someone who can handle samsung locked bootloader.

invisiblek is the one that handled it awesomely. Design code wise the device is similar to the d2vzw source tree.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0nthn:
Hi,

My first post here on XDA! I have a Generic NL .253 Rom (without root, BL locked) flashed on my Z. I want to downgrade it to version .434 so I can root my phone. The problem is, everytime I try to flash it with flashtool, whenever my phone boots up, I get a message saying it's upgrading NFC, then it suddenly reboots. This happens over and over (kind of like a bootloop). I have tried several .FTF files. Also, I don't want to do a clean flash, I have made several backups but I'm afraid they don't live up to my 'backup'-standards. Does anyone know a fix for this?

Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben Ling:
So you cannot turn on your phone now?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0nthn:
Hey, thanks for you reply. Yes, I can. I reflashed my old .253 Generic NL software in between trying other .434 files and it still works fine.

The problem with the .434 is that my phone does boot, but it never properly boots, you know what I mean? It keeps on resetting, and displaying the 'NFC updating' message. Any ideas?

Jonathan
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben Ling:
so you can start your phone with .253 firmware?

.434 can?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0nthn:
I can start up my phone with .253 firmware, but not really with .434 ('semi-bootloop due to 'NFC update')
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qmann05:
I'm actually having the exact same issue. I would like to downgrade so I can regain root. I have a feeling to fix the boot loop we would have to wipe the phone. I'm just deciding if I want to try that yet as it sucks redoing everything and the phone is running so good.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0nthn:
Yeah exactly, the backup options are fairly limited since I haven't rooted it yet, and I kinda feel there should be a way around this loop

without having to wipe all my data..
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julianalexander:
i suggest wipe. it should work when downgrading.. i hope it will work on you both as i downgrade my z after updating to .253 and i dont have any bootloop issues...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0nthn:
Which backup do you think is the best? Pc companion/the pre installed 'backup and recovery' app/Carbon/adb full backup? Does any of these guarantee a full backup? I want to be sure before I try..
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephencwl:
I always trust Titanium Backup. Keep all my apps and important settings through several android phones over a few years already.

I downgrade to 434 from 253 through Flashtool without wipe, reroot and flash NUT 253 without any problem.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0nthn:
Yeah...the problem is, again, I haven't rooted yet. I know TB is the best, it's just not an option for me right now
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julianalexander:
[/COLOR]

.434 can be rooted either bin4ry or doomlords method.. and .253 can achieve root using nuts method or wawyed..
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0nthn:
So it's possible to root .253 without having rooted before? Did not know that, I will look into that, thanks! This must be new since like today or yesterday, haha
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julianalexander:
Coming from .434.. .253 is pre-rooted in there methods.. So try it and follow instructions well..
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0nthn:
Yes exactly. But the problem is that I can't get back to .434, I already knew this
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xchasa:
Pre installed backup and recovery works great if you're not rooted. Just make sure to check all boxes to backup. Store backup on computer, wipe, flash, root 253 then restore.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeDesireS:
I had exactly the same problem and the only solution was downgrade to .434 with a full wipe!

Everything else I tried ended in restart because of the NFC update.

I could restore my system, because I rooted .434 after the clean install,

updated to .253 from [nut] and restored only the data partition from my last nandroid with recovery.

Then everything was as before and works fine.

But trust me, the only solution is downgrading with a full wipe! :good:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donottouch:
Did you try flash kernel/ otakernel from the .434 with flashtool if not try then

I will skip that update (cannot even get it from Sony PC Companion) so wait for 4.2

I dont use NFC and don't need whitebalance calibration.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandrin0:
Wow I just had the same problem an hour ago. Flashed back to .253 also.

I'm not really into making a full wipe lol.

EDIT: Maybe we could use an other FTF file instead of the NL generic .434? Does anyone think that could help?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0nthn:
Wow.. can honestly say I'm not too happy with this. A lot of settings and folders etc. were not backed up.. Basically meaning hours of work..

Pre-installed 'backup and restore' did save my apps, photos etc., but it is exactly how I imagined it would be, not a 'full backup'... Wel, gonna root now, hope this will work..

Greetings,

P.S., trying other .FTF's didn't help me. If you want to wipe, know what you're getting yourself into.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandrin0:
Hmm, thanks for sharing. I'm going to some longer until someone gets it easy rooted.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey63:
To root .253 directly with locked bootloader:-

1 Backup TA

2 Unlock bootloader (use flashtool - not Official Sony way)

3 Flash Doomlord kernel

4 Root

5 Reflash stock kernel

6 Restore TA

7 Apply "stop ric" fix
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0nthn:
l read the instructions from Doom's post and nowhere does it tell me to unlock and relock the BL for rooting. 434. Might I ask what it adds to take these extra steps?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey63:
If you are happy to stay on unlocked bootloader (and live without BE 2), just ignore steps 5,6 and 7.

Edit: Doomlords kernels can only run on unlocked bootloader. Also I am talking about directly rooting .253 without flashing back to .434 first.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0nthn:
Is this for rooting. 253? Cause rooting. 434 doesn't require unlocking BL at all
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey63:
.434 is directly rootable, .253 needs bootloader unlocked first OR flash prerooted .253 Rom from CWM in .434.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0nthn:
Yeah, so I can skip more of your steps as there is no need to unlock BL for rooting the .434 file I'm currently on, right?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0nthn:
Ah crap, I misread, this is indeed what you mean. Wish I knew this before I downgraded, because the step up requires more time and there's a lot that can go wrong
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey63:

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jambu95:
may i ask which stock firmware you use? my 434 cant seem to work, only getting nfc firmware update bootloop, sad:crying:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0nthn:
Had that too, reflash to. 235 and then do a full wipe while flashing .434(don't untick system and data @ flashtool). Make a backup before this (pre installed 'backup' app is okay, it's no TB..) and save your folders. Or perhaps you can try .350. I didn't try that myself, but kinda curious to see if it works. Keep me updated ;)
