so i want to install this. i'm not rooted yet (i was trying to find a rom to flash first lol) i'm on ng6 and i'm using a tmobile sim in the verizon version. i read through the op and was just wandering when i go to flash do i click tmobile or verizon when it says carrier. I just wasn't sure because its a verizon brand phone but i'm using tmobile lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ElementalWindX:
I just tried to re-copy the file to the micro sd card, and reinstall it, and got the exact same scenario. Fails and goes back to main SS menu aroudn Samsung Link install. :/

I'm going thru this process (again) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2735172

I had to restore my phone last time I updated a rom over a year ago on it. I hate messing with roms on my s4. My s3 is stupid easy. Took all of 10 minutes to update that phone and I was done haha.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ElementalWindX:
Ok I updated to 3.75 beta 4 and installed this rom in the default slot since it wont let me use rom1-4 slots. I used the towel root, then installed busybox, then updated supersu, then reinstalled ss 3.75 yet AGAIN, and then installed the NC2 modem, and now wifi works (thank god finally omfg)

Way too much work compared to my S3 haha.

When will we be able to use the newest baseband version? :( I was on NC5 with echo rom, now I have to use NC2 with hyperdrive.

Also when I try to install "WatchON" the samsung remote app, it says "Duplicate provider entry" and won't install. What do I use to control my tv's with?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ZiggyS4VZW:
Update to the newest modem. If you need a link I'll provide you it. Its NK1.

For tv use Smart Remote. It's installed with hyperdrive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] falloutkiller3:
Hard or soft brick
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ElementalWindX:
Please do. The modem I tried didn't work :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ElementalWindX:
Also I'm trying to connect my phone to my exchange 2013 server and I keep getting "Setup could not finish" "Unable to open connection to server. Security error occurred."

I've added screen locks and checked for a random background asking for privileges by dragging the menu down but I cannot seem to figure out what is going on. I've also tried my domain.local\username, domain\username, \username and same result.

"Allow mobile devices that don't fully support these policies to synchronize" is checked in my Exchange ECP

Go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=46550751 for the modems to flash
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ElementalWindX:
Yep thats where I got it from and I used https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95832962473396857 which did not work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ZiggyS4VZW:
That's weird, that's the one I used.

I'm also pretty sure I used the NG6 with hlos wifi fix. Not sure if that will fix your problems or not
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] D3Seeker:
Glad to say it's working this time. Will play around for a bit

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 PM ----------

So........... I'm assuming people have gotten BusyBox installed? The installer fails no matter which version I pick (an considering some of the optional apps at initial install need busybox, not sure what I missed) so yeah anyone else have this issue

edit: not sure what kind of a forum glitch that was

edit 2: Improper root? however that works. Towelroot fixed it :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ZiggyS4VZW:
I'm confused... is it all working now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
I believe busybox was already installed. Had to reroot with towelroot and update supersu in order to update the su binary though. Try JRummy's busy box installer. I've always had success with that.

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------

Try the NG6. that's the one I just flashed and it works for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jimmyUT:
Any way to get rid of the "press and hold screen to add widgets" tect on the homescreens?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
Yeah just add a widget and then remove it. That will get rid of that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jimmyUT:
Sweet.. thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ElementalWindX:
I just tried the retail NG6 with no luck. :( This rom hsa been rather buggy for me.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
I installed RLS20 again the other night. I had all sorts of apps crashing... Mainly Gmail. So I chalked it up to a bad flash and reflashed. Now I have no problems. The gallery works great, wifi, Bluetooth, wallpaper chooser, all works out of the box. The only problem is the multimedia UI crash when adding a ring tone to the built in list. I had this problem on earlier flashes of RLS20 too, but it's easy enough to work around so is not a big deal. What I did different this time was to use the 'format data' option in safestrap. That and previously I used SS 3.73 and this time I used SS 3.72

3.73 was unable to access the internal sdcard data.

I think that RLS 18.1 and 19 were a bit more stable than 20. I'd suggest anyone having major issues try one of those and see if your problems persist.

---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------

I'm not sure about that. I know there are some who've posted that are on TMobile but I don't know if they have a VZW phone. Hopefully someone can shed some light.

Will Hyperdrive work if I upgrade to I545VRUFNK1 from NC5?

Edit: It's working so far
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ElementalWindX:
Somehow my mail to exchange issue sorted itself out (probably because I just updated my $20,000 exchange server with a 1.6gb CU9 update)

Now I'm down to tiny details like when I take a picture with the stock camera and it shows the picture, if I hit back button, it says gallery crashed.

My only other detail (and probably my last) is how do I remove "Press and hold screen to add items." from all my screens?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Randomlord:
This was answered a few posts above yours.

Add a widget to the home screen and drop it, then move it to one of the other screens. That has always worked for me after a clean flash on getting rid of the "Press and hold screen to add items" message.

As far as the gallery, I haven't had any issues with it.

When I flash, I always do a system wipe, then do an advanced wipe, checking the data, dalvik and cache and then I flash the ROM and the NC5 wifi modules and haven't had any issues. I've done this since RLS 17.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ElementalWindX:
Thats exactly what I did as well.

Widget trick worked after trying multiple widgets, not just one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
To remove the helpful yet annoying tip, do what it says and add an item. Then just remove the item. I haven't had the gallery issue however.

I just seen this was answered in the time it took me to post it lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] D3Seeker:
Nope, or at least not according to supersu. It said something along the lines of "can't obtain root privileges" and Busybox not present. I decided to use towelroot just to see, and it worked. Supersu functions after that, and busybox was good and ready to install the latest goods. So I guess something funky happened while installing the rom. All seems good now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
That's the same supersu msg I got all 3 or 4 times flashing RLS20 including flashing RLS19. I regained root via towelroot but still had to update supersu before it was able to update the su binaries. I never updated busybox however. The busybox installer by Stericson told me that busybox version 1.22.1 is already installed right after flashing the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pizza_pablo:
I'm glad to read this. I, too, "lost root" (or supposedly) and couldn't figure what I'd done wrong.

I used Towelroot, which worked, like a champ.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pitbullmommy45245:
So I obtained root using towel root and downgrading to ns5 then back to ng6. Am I safe to root this. I am using a t-mobile Sim card in my Verizon device so will select the t-mobile option in the indtall. Please any help would be greatly appreciated
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] midnightzak:
So, besides the Gallery issues which I could care less about I noticed that Waze isn't working for me. I remember many moons ago that this was an issue that many people had. Waze just blinks open but never actually launches the program, but is apparently running in the background. I can't seem to find a solution, anyone remember how to fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
I'm going to install waze and try it

---------- Post added at 10:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 AM ----------

Safe to root but I'm not positive on the other. I think you would select TMo so that it would set the correct apn's and stuff
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] raddison:
Still PIN lock problem

Bummer I haven't had any time to mess with this since 8 Dec.

Marine, I'm sure PIN lock is an app, don't know which one for sure, may look for it ... but I doubt it's that the app is corrupted, or wrong version, or something. I can't see that replacing it with someone's "working backup" would correct the problem. I expect it's a problem with the app that manages system security settings.

But here's an even stupider thought I've had (surprise). I noticed while reading some other ROMs' threads, that some people had this same issue on OTHER ROMs, starting with when those ROMs updated to Kit Kat 4.4.x. This makes me think 2 things:

Maybe it's a problem with using certain KitKat system apps in any custom ROM.

Maybe it's a problem with how many ROMs some people have flashed. I've never used TriangleAway or anything like it, could this possibly relate to my flash counter (or whatever it's called)?
[MENTION=4600715]sbreen94[/MENTION] any thoughts on my stupid ideas? :)

When I first had this problem I was on "stockish" kernel, I tried Ktoonz's (with new clean flash of HD20) and still have the problem. I don't have time to reflash for the 3rd MDK kernel option, when I don't really think it'll solve my problem.

As far as MDK vs. SafeStrap users, I'm pretty sure some of the complainers several months ago were on SafeStrap as well as MDK.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
Looks like the gps fix in HDTweaks is useless according to the dev.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Randomlord:
I use Waze every day without any issues. I want to say that ba k at RLS17, I had to uninstall it and delete any leftover Waze directories and re-install.

That is what I would try if I were having this issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] daventodd123:
I'm currently on RLS19 with the NC2 baseband running with Safestrap v3.72 and I'm looking to upgrade to RLS20. I've been looking through this thread and few people have been having trouble upgrading from the same start point as I. I previously tried to upgrade to RLS20 but I ran into a bootloop and couldn't figure out why. Could someone kindly list the files (besides the ROM zip) that I'd need to upgrade my radios and to keep my wifi working? I always run into the problem of my wifi not working and I've been having trouble with finding the most up-to-date wifi fix zip. Thanks in advance for the help

EDIT: I heard there is an updated Safestrap version but I didn't see any update on Surge's thread. Where can I find it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reinert012:
To anyone that has this problem, i booted into recovery wiped delvik cache and system cache and i'm all set.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jpmcnown:
I also tried flashing that KT Kernel, wiping cache/dalvik, fixing permissions, rebooting, turning off/on location services. Nothing. Are we all finally in agreement, that it HIGHLY unlikely that everyone experiencing issues with GPS are user errors? I'm going to wipe everything 10 times just to be sure, I may install CWM recovery and wipe everything in there 10 times too, because ya know, that's normal. Wish me luck, that seems to be a factor.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wolfgrrl:
GPS ....what I did that worked

I flashed this morning, and used Waze on an hour long trip. On the way home, GPS would not lock. Fixed permissions which didn't work. Dirty flashed ROM again, turned Location Services off then back on again and all was well. GPS locking with no wifi on in Waze and Navigation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] alphanu22:
toggle Airplane mode and youll get a lock on for 5 sec then disappear :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eNkrypt:
I lol'd - I don't think sbreen is saying that the gps is user error because one of the devs already said they were working on a fix and to hold tight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vwpiper:
Try uninstalling waze then reinstall it. This worked for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AmericanCon:
This.

I know this is a new rom and all but id like some confirmation that this is indeed a bug and that a fix is coming.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eNkrypt:
Oh and this probably needs to be updated as I am on RLS5 and the OTA says 4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AmericanCon:
Wtf...this actually works lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] obsidianfirefly:
Has anyone tried making a backup of rls5? When in TWRP it says the data portion is something like 70gb which is obviously wrong. I wiped everything and reflashed but still getting incorrect size. Any ideas?

Also for those who got hung up on the Samsung padlock screen, if you wait for several minutes it'll eventually boot up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jpmcnown:
Missed that, all I could find were snide comments claiming users errors. Figured one good turn deserved another. Holding tight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eNkrypt:
Yeah it is mostly negative posts but here is where it was stated that it is being worked on. Sbreen simply said to the person that said it wasn't booting - that's obviously user error.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ryukouki:
I'm hearing a lot of negativity about the RLS5 release. Looks like I'm waiting on the RLS6 build then. :3 If anyone has it working properly with everything functional, how is it?

What is a good audio boost to make my phone more loud across the board?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] coffeehandle:
Running just fine on ATT
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eNkrypt:
If I am not mistaken there is an audio script in the HyperDriveOTA application
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AmericanCon:
The rom is actually incredibly quick and responsive. Its just the gps that is not working for some. Which, depending on the person, is a big deal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ryukouki:
Faster than RLS4? Don't see how that is gonna work. Is it noticeable in terms of the RLS4 speeds?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eNkrypt:
It seems to be a bit faster but that could just be wishful thinking. When his zues kernel is released it will be way faster.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ryukouki:
I never really understood kernels. Do I have to follow any crazy procedures to install one of those? and what exactly is noticeable about a kernel that makes everyone go ZOMG I WANT?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
Hi, I was on NC5 when I flashed from 19 to RLS20. I had SS 3.73 but it would not access the internal sdcard so I uninstalled it and recovery and installed 3.72 and the recovery. That worked great.

According to the first post, you will need to update to 4.4.2 NC5 prior to installing RLS20. Other than that SS 3.72 will do just fine and is preferred in my opinion. I only say that because I used it and it worked great for me.

Also, make sure that when prompted for a kernel that you select the Safestrap users option (the bottom most one I believe). That way the installer should automatically flash the wifi modules for you. Safestrap can not touch the kernel on locked bootloader phones so choosing any other kernel option here will do nothing. You would then have to manually flash the wifi modules yourself.

I chose the SS option and my WiFi worked out of the box. Yesterday I went ahead and flashed the NG6 modem and all is still working fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] daventodd123:
Thanks a ton, that's all I need! I see the modem topic has NK1 listed after NG6, any reason why you'd choose NG6 over NK1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
Not really. I have know idea why lol. I must have been half asleep when I downloaded it :confused: . I didn't install it til the next day. I should flash NK1 if it's more recent.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ThaRockstar007:
Does anyone else's Safestrap say "Disabled" on boot? And if I go into app it says "Safe: Not Active". And if I hit reboot recovery it doesn't do anything. im on v3.72 and it works fine just wondering why it says that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] daventodd123:
I followed your method exactly and now when I reboot, I don't have wifi... I made sure to select the Safestrap kernel and flashed the Nk1 modem, but that shouldn't have any effect on wifi afaik. I'm not sure what to do

JUST KIDDING, I just flashed Gogolies NC2 wifi fix and then followed up with the Nk1 modem zip and now everything is fine and dandy. My settings indicate that I'm on all NK1 radios so the wifi fix didn't do anything wacko with my network radios.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] oscar925:
How do I install this on rooted NK1?

Edit:Installed but wifi not working. Flashed NK1 Modem and NC5 modem .. no wifi still
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
It's because you're using the stock ROM slot . It's only "active" if your using one of the other ROM slots.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pitbullmommy45245:
I flashed this successfully and everything is running awesome. The only thing is I can't access my voice mails for some reason. I called tmobile and they said that it's nothing on their end. Also I can't get my Internet to work. Mms is working fine though. I put in the apn settings that I found in this thread. When I flashed I selected the Verizon model

Only things that have changed were app updates.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] chadbh74:
Disregard for now. Not sure why it happened yet but I went into Applications and cleared the data for the app then it works. Rebooted and still works. I noticed in one of the OTA screens it says not functional. . Does the OTA work or is that another feature its saying doesn't work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
Try clearing cache and dalvik. You never know.... That's cleared up weird random problems for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
Yeah I figured it was a longshot anyway. I don't even know what app or apps are responsible for the PIN lock. I really wish that bug would get ironed out.

I cannot get WiFi to work for the life of me. I upgrade from MK2 to NC5 (via instructions on OP), I have done the process 3 times now. When I am on stock NC5 my wifi works fine, but anytime I try installing HyperDrive, my WiFi no longer works. I am installing HD using the "Safestrap" kernel because it is supposed to flash module needed for wifi. What am I doing wrong? I absolutely LOVE this ROM, but not having WiFi or tether is a NO-GO for me. Someone please help!

Do I need to flash a newer modem or something?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
Sometimes the installer won't do it. Try flashing them manually from safestrap. Download from https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23487008491963696. I know it says NC2 but it will still work. You can flash the latest modem (NK1/NG6 whichever) later.

Is the modem flash only for wifi or it will affect 2g,3g,4g, too? thanks

Constant "gmail has stopped" messages

Hi, I have a Verizon Galaxy S4 (I545) with the NG6 firmware and just installed this rom, RLS20. I used SafeStrap 3.75 to install it. I used basically all the default options when installing.

Unfortunately, on rebooting, from the beginning of even entering my account information, a constant window pops up "Unfortunately, Gmail has stopped." It's so bad, I can only do one or two actions (I have about 2 seconds) before the system freezes and the window pops up again.

It's also affecting something with the network connection, because when I tried to go to the Play store to download Titanium Backup so I could try and uninstall Gmail, the network connection keeps timing out, even though I have a 4G connection with 4-5 bars.

I then installed SafeStrap to try to get back into recovery so I could try to play with the hyperdrive options on reinstall, but SafeStrap says I don't have root!

I booted into the stock recovery and wiped everything 3x, then reinstalled this rom, but still the same problem.

Is no one else having this issue? A google search didn't turn anything up.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ZiggyS4VZW:
Try choosing a different gmail option when you install the rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Anastomosis:
Thanks for the help. Unfortunately, booting into recovery, and then selecting the RLS20 rom from my microSD card, it just installs the .zip file and doesn't give me that whole configuration dialog that I first got when I installed from SafeStrap recovery.

Any way to get that config dialog when installing from normal recovery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ZiggyS4VZW:
I think you have to install it again through SafeStrap but I'm not 100%.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Phobophobia:
I just upgraded my mom's S4 from RLS10.2 to RLS20 (Safestrap 3.72, stock slot, full wipe), and everything seems to be working well except for that the pattern unlock is extremely laggy. It was perfectly smooth on 10.2. There isn't any noticeable lag once the phone's unlocked. Does anyone else have this issue, or is it just me?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] inetquestion:
Mine is also laggy when the devices has just been rebooted and I'm trying it as soon as I see the pattern appear. If it fully boots and I give it a little time (to finish whatever its doing in the background), it seems normal speed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Phobophobia:
Interesting. It's to be expected right after a reboot, but it happens every time on my mom's phone, even after everything's settled down and is running completely smoothly (and even after hours of uptime).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
You have to reroot with towel root after flashing RLS20. I had the "Gmail has stopped" problem also. I used Titanium to disable it able then installed SS recovery and reflashed the ROM. That seemed to work for me.

Titanium has a nifty feature where you can create an 'update.zip' file to flash from recovery after installing the ROM. Then you will have Titanium installed on first boot.

As for the persistent problem you might try verifying the MD5 sum of the ROM download as compared to the original. I've had entire operating systems completely install only to have crippling errors due to a corrupt iso image.
