I'm moving over to T-Mobile from AT&T, and downloaded their most current stock ROM.

From what I understand I need to make sure there is no Modem file in the new ROM and then use ODIN to flash it. Is this correct?

Thanks,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jd1639:
I don't know. But I think you'll need to be sim unlocked and you'll still need to flash roms for at&t. To sim unlock flash the mf3 modem in safestrap and then use regionlockaway

Did anyone get get *ware from using the download link?

Clicking either the orange or blue download link from http://d-h.st/qlC brings you to a page with a popup that says "Click OK to download"

It downloaded a .jar.exe, after running it I've started getting popups like crazy. Maybe I mis-clicked an option in the installer but a developer having such an option would be dishonest at best, I don't want to lay blame on the dev though.

Two Chrome extensions keep getting injected and enabled without my permission, prompting the popups almost literally every time I click something on a webpage, very annoying.

One of the extensions is called "unisaleS" and the other is something to the effect of "unnisalles"

e* I uninstalled any remnants of it, and also ran NOD32/MSE and find nothing, but it still keeps coming back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jd1639:
Dev host is a terrible download site. Very deceptive. There are multiple download links one of them is the actual file you want. The others put malware on your device.

Missed something?

Hey folks,

Ran through the program, it brought me up in what I believe was "recovery mode". I selected to reboot, and then came up in normal mode, but maybe I am missing something.

Here is the Pastbin: http://pastebin.com/g1g3PgQC

After the program completed, it states to "Install Superuser". Searching in the forums, I find reference to ChainDD's version (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=682828), find it in App store, installed it.

I then looked for a program to check that the phone is rooted. Again, Finding "Simple Root Checker" (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2472076) I installed that program. When I run it, it tells me "Application Superuser not found", "Terminal does not Rooted", "Busybox not installed".

Where did I go wrong? The phone is completely usable, just would appear not to be rooted. Suggestions?

Thanks,

Greech

No, this isn't malware, but it does include an exploit tool that anti-virus software flag as malware. This is most likely because the same exploit tool used to gain root by a knowledgeable user could be used by a black hat to root and install malware.

If you look at the last characters of your build number you're on NC1. TWRP will not work on this version as the bootloader was patched after MDL firmware. You are limited to the roms you'll be able to use to only those that are touchwiz based. Here are some links which you'll be interested in:

I assume you're looking for the OTA update APKs? Here they are:

AT&T Software update V42_1_1303_5_1 (com.wssyncmldm) - wssyncmldm.apk & odex

FWUpgrade 1.2.0 (com.sec.android.fwupgrade) - FWUpgrade.apk & odex

LocalFOTA v2_1303_2_1 (com.LocalFota) - LocalFOTA.apk

Also, if you are planning to delete/remove these, it will likely make the "Custom" icon permanent until the user restores them or returns to stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] AdamOutler:
A custom icon is a small price to pay for not having a brick upon firmware update.

I just figured it out...its still the vol up+power. I just pressed the buttons too long, so it just reboot everytime.

So basically, as soon as i see the message "recovery bootin....", i let go the buttons right away. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Aou:
Great point. I'm wondering if your tool can move/rename the files, with a simple set of instructions/commands to put them back how they were (with of course a clear warning what the risks are)? I know it's extra coding/time, so I could completely understand skipping this.

Related: is there any way to freeze or disable an application apart from using TiBu? I know it's possible to freeze some apps through the stock Application Manager, just not these three (among some other 'critical' apps). It would be nice to just disable these and other bloatware with nothing but root access and a script. Not everyone has TiBu like we do.

That's what I've done, and it works rather well.

This seems to be the case. When freezing them, it leaves them in-place, and so when it does scan (btw, if you are fast enough after a restart, you can go into "about device" and watch it scan for a bit before it determines "custom" or "official"), it sees the files intact and counts it as "official".

Related but getting off-topic from the thread a tiny bit: this "scan" it does in About Device seems to be what triggers the bootloader to show the Custom icon. I'm curious if it would be possible to omit/disable this scan before it flags the system as custom? I would imagine that if the scan were disabled/removed while the status was still "official", it might not ever flag the boot as being custom ever again. *shrug*

Any devs here willing to take this one on and get it included in AdamOutler's tool? :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] scott14719:
I think the scan does more than just determine "custom" status, so disabling it might be damaging to the phone functioning properly. However, at some point the scan has to determine if changes sufficient enough have occurred to warrant custom status or not. There has to be code that determines if the custom status (and unlock icon) appears upon the next boot or not.

I would think it would have to be similar to the scan returning a "1" if it detects custom or a "0" if it does not (official). If it detects "1", further instruction is given for it to place the unlock icon on the screen and show status as custom upon the next reboot.

I wonder if it would be feasible to locate where that code is, and then change it so it permanently acts as if the scan returns a "0" (official) every time no matter what it finds.

Of course, this is just speculation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Aou:
Not knowing much about the scan itself, this is also my understanding of the higher-level logic that the phone follows. Here's some more observations that might help:

- Most critically, the padlock/"custom" boot screen is NOT triggered until this scan is run and the system is flagged.

- The scan runs immediately upon startup and finishes within about 38 seconds of uptime. Might take longer if more files have been added to /system or if more apps are running on startup (and slowing it down).

- It seems that the scan does not run again until the next system startup.

- A custom recovery does not trigger "custom".

- A custom kernel triggers the "custom".

- I uninstalled a lot of bloatware, and this triggered "custom". I haven't checked to see if it's any system apps that trigger it, or if only certain apps are monitored.

- Having busybox and/or Superuser properly in-place will trigger "custom".

I think I should probably take this to a new thread. Sorry, AdamOutler for hijacking your thread. >_<
