NO 4G Connection on Verizon

My apologies if an answer has been posted already. I attempted to search the thread but did not find much. I have a verizon S4 that is flashed with the 17.1. I am unable to get a 4G connection. Has anyone else had/fixed this issue? (Apologies if posted in wrong place.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cobra7361:

On s4 u need then at&t safestrap 3.72

3.75 is for s5..

Just search u will find download...and u can only flash on stock slot..

No working ROM slots for 3.72 for now..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dancrosoft:
It was already set to CDMA/LTE. I have 2 S4s that seem to have the same symptoms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cobra7361:
Have u triednsetting it to global?

U have never done a *228 update have u?

Read that will ruin ur Sim and won't be able to connect to ,4G
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dancrosoft:
Have u triednsetting it to global? - Yes and same result.

U have never done a *228 update have u? - I have not done a *228 for quite some time. 4G was working post the last time I did it. I have not done it since flashing to HyperDrive. 4G was working without issue on previous rom. (JellyBeans with really old FW.)

Nandroid Restore

So... I just got a replacement S4 from Verizon because the screen on my old one died. I promptly Towel-rooted and Safestrapped. I then rebooted into recovery to restore the last Nandroid backup I had. The problem is that the "Restore" feature of Safestrap doesn't show anything on the SD card or internal memory. No backups nor even any folders nor files. Nada. The other features of Safestrap, like "Install", do show the directory structure and files. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] camparks:
I like a clean start, so I upgraded to NC5 using the full wipe image and partition file. Then Towel Root and SELinuxModeChanger to install Safestrap 3.72 so HD could be installed. Declining to reboot immediately, flashed Surge's NC5 modules and SuperSU after HD install .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
When you installed ss, did you download the SElinux mode changer and set it to permissive before installing? Also are you using the right version of safestrap (3.72 from the at&t s4 thread)?

Edit: I actually had this issue. Though, two attempted backups later, it did the proper procedure (usually it creates a folder on your destination called TWRP and a sub folder called backups, look for that in your file manager)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dviant:
UPDATE: Turns out you have to make a Nandroid backup, then reboot and place your old backup in the new folder that the new backup is in. When your boot back up in recovery, both backups should show up in "Restore".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dancrosoft:
Tried that just now )with latest NC5 modem. Same result. (Only 1 APN is listed in the mobile network setup. I am seeing conflicting answers if there is suppose to be 1 or 2.)

I Need Help with this please

im on a Verizon S4 it was rooted with Towelroot after the OTA update ..

so now im told i have to use safestrap 3.72 but i already installed 3.75 {for the s5} ok

but now once i install the SafeStrap needed and make my back up ..

1] do i have to flash a specific Kernal with Odin before or after a flash ?

2} must i first flash a deodex stock rom before flashing a Custom Rom or can i just flash a custom rom .. im looking to use this Hyperdrive ..

im ready to do this .. thanking you all in advance ,

i have the SCH-I545

Verizon on I545VRUFNC5 Stock Kernal i havent done anything other than root and install the proper safestrap ... su and busy box .. looking to flash but can i stay on my current kernal or flash a different one

---------- Post added at 10:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

Easily Change Your Android SELinux Mode. i set to Permissive ok so reading further i see i have to do this as well before flashing so im almost there

stock kernal or custom kernal and stock odex rom before a custom rom ... or can i just flash that custom rom to go ... im alsready aware that i must back up my nandroid on sd because we can only use stock rom slot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
You use ss 3.72, do not use ss 3.75 for the s5,it could cause a brick.. Rest of your questions you should read some general threads and stickies and educate yourself before you hurt your phone. Locked bootloader you are stuck with stock kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RK KINGKONG:
thanks for your kind reply , yes i been doing some surfing through here.. i swaped the safestrap with 3.72 and installed the Permissive changer app .. however although the 3.75 safestrap would let me boot into recovery 3.72 causes my phone to restart weird messafe about not being able to download something .. couldnt catch it fast enough ..

not worried about the stock kernal ., 1 less step i have to take .. so baiscally once i get a back up going , well safestrap i can flash this rom i hope

Plex works fine for me. I did have to uninstall and reinstall after I tried it the first time on this build though IIRC
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mkoyskip:
Well as usual I didn't follow my own rules or such - so I uninstalled Plex (both PC & android just to be sure) re-installed and all is good.

I tell others to "do as I say, not as I do" because I don't always do or perform the obvious solution on my own - so thanks for this.

EDIT:

btw cobra7361 i've had great battery life (even though i've been a slacker lately) and haven't used more than 40% or so since you're assistance. i know i can do better but just been busy (and this is without bc - please don't give me s**t for this because i know i need to do it:fingers-crossed:) my goal is to reach only 25% loss on a full day of usage.

thanks for your help!

STOCK NC5 4.4.2 boots on Safestrap-3.75HLTEVZW-NC2-3.75

Rooted but i was having an issue with SafeStrap booting Recovery even though i was using an app to get it into permissive mode ..because though i had safestrap 3.72 it wasnt the JFLTE version i Needed . I was trying to use the HLTE 3.72 version which will not work ...

although i will let it be know i can actually boot into Recovery using the same safestrap i used for my Note 3 Safestrap-3.75HLTEVZW-NC2-3.75 dont know why just leting it be known ...

can this mean slots might works for the s4 with safestrap 3.75 i almost tempted to tey so after i actually flash a deodex rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
Stop using different versions of safestrap for completely different phones on an s4. You're going to brick the thing, and if that's your goal, so be it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RK KINGKONG:
First try success .. Thanks hyperdrive

YES I got ahead of myself before completely reading and used a safestrap that i used on my NOTE 3 .. But hey i was able to boot into recovery with it .. i was on the OTA NC5 rooted and then when i realized i made a mistake . i switched over only because thats whats recommended ..

Also there was a 3.72 version i had no clue wasnt the same 3.72 in the thread so after having issues with that .,.i discovered that i needed the JFL ver not the HLT like i had ...

any way reading further i was able to flash HYPERDRIVE and the { NC5 safe strap modules } ABOUT THIS PART OMG I SHARTED

Little did i know or read further that after flashing hyperdrive i would need to first flash a NC5 FILE as well ... well in SafeStrap after flashing i found out i didnt have that file on my phone .. so i couldnt flash it

result was i could not get the phone to access wifi , so i pulled battery , mounted SD on PC copied file

remounted the SD to the Phone with the NC5 module

booted into recovery flashed the file and boom IM GOLDEN .. GOT LUCKY on No Brick with all those STRIKES ..

THANKS to the DEVS , MEMBERS and STAFF ... :silly::good::laugh::highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nu2droid:
I want to swap the launcher from the S5 to the S4. Can I extract it from the hyperdrive zip file without re running the installer. ? If so, what is the file name and where can I find it?

Sleep of Death

I've been having SOD problems with HD and other Roms. It usually only happens when I've left my phone to charge and it has sat at 100% for a while but I'm not sure if that is coincidence or not.

However, I've never needed a battery pull. Holding the power button and the UP volume for about 5 seconds kicks in a reboot. Has anyone else tried this or is it just me? This makes the SOD much less of a problem for me as a chronic Rom flasher. If you haven't tried it you might do so before you pull the case and back cover off your phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtherrell:
Same here. Same solution. Tried it just to see if it works. It does!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jawiler:
Holding just the power button by itself also works

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
I just installed RLS17.1 again today.. You guys do realize these roms are almost 2gb?? lol

Also, I'd like to make a suggestion: sbreen, try making a new thread. This one is over 2000 pages. Either that or have a moderator clear off everything before the current release. I think it would be easier for all of us to navigate this thread if those adjustments were made. This is easily the biggest thread I've encountered on XDA... But maybe I haven't been here long enough :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nu2droid:
Have a question and I am not sure if this a rom or safestrap issue. I say that because I have never had this happen on other roms or other versions of safestrap.

I made 2 backups. The first was of the stock system (made a few months ago), the second was of this version of HD. I was experimenting with another rom and realized it I didn't like it and tried to come back to HD. I tried to restore the backup of HD (made just hours before) and it failed. I tried wiping data etc... and it still failed. I tried to restore the backup of the stock system.... and it failed.

Luckily I still had all the rom files still on the phone. I re flashed everything as per the op (withe files on the op for the MK2 updated to the nc5) got it back running. Just for giggles I rebooted back into safestrap and tried to restore the backup of HD... and it worked. It restored everything.

Why ? Not that I am complaining. . I am glad to have everything back. . But I could have done without the minor coronary event...

Would it have been the re flashing of the super user zip that would make it work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hashbang173:
Any chance hyperdrive will be based off the ng8 international build, it might have better battery life?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
He'll probably just update this part of the OP:

Hyperdrive RLS17:

Discussion for RLS17.1 begins at Post 26843

PLEASE READ the F.A.Q in Post 3 before posting in this thread. Thank you..

Probably not, he's always based on Verizon firmware up until this point, there's also no real evidence NG8 improves battery life.

No extra languages

Hi,thanks for the great rom.I have installed hyperdrive 17.1 with safestrap.Everything works fine.

The problem is that I don't have All the languages that I should.Only the default languages of the i545 (English,Thai,and 2 oithers like chinese).

Do I have to do something to enable langs?They should be enabled by default?

Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nu2droid:
I was looking for the same thing. You can download an app called "Language Enabler" by wanam from the market. It allows you to install hidden languages. I just did it for Japanese. .. worked like a charm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dilligaf56:
Mkoyskip:

Finally got a couple of hours free to do this.

Updated Safestrap to 3.72, then made a nandroid backup of my RLS15 setup. Deleted rom-slot, wiped stock slot 3x. Followed your instruction list to the letter (including doing the wipes 3x)

17.1 won't boot. Hangs at the boot animation. I let it sit for 15 minutes the first time, did a battery pull, rebooted, let it sit for another 15 minutes, tried rebooting again. No joy. This is similar to what happened the time I tried to install 15 on ME7 (before I knew better).

Anything I missed here?

Restored my working RLS15 setup, so am up and running. But I do want to get 17.1 up!

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scootier:
Sounds like you did not upgrade to 4.4.2 / NC5 before installing rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mkoyskip:
Ditto.

I also left out one step:

(thanks to skepticmisfit for reminding me to include this in my setup list)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dilligaf56:
You're right - I didn't. Mkoyskip did it while still on MK2 and got it to work, so I followed his instructions.

The only reason I hesitate to go to NC5 is that if I have problems on 17.1, it's a PITA to go backward. His solution, if it worked, allows me to simply restore my old setup if I need to.

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ----------

Aha!

OK, is this in the Play Store? If not, do you have a link?

Since I already have Safestrap 3.72 installed, do I re-install it after doing the above?

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mkoyskip:
Not having installed selinux mode changer has nothing to do with your boot issue (and yes it is in the play store) however not upgrading to 4.4.2 is a major problem. My bootloader is still MK2 after upgrading to 4.4.2.

EDIT:

The reason I didn't mention upgrading to 4.4.2 is because sbreen states this in the Hyperdrive description:

I apologize that my instructions mislead you:(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scootier:
If you wish to retain MK2 (I'm still on MJ7 bootloader) then follow Surge's upgrade method found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2726868

That way you have the ability to downgrade.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mkoyskip:
I actually used gogolie's method here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2720163 but they both work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dilligaf56:
OK...I had looked at Surge's thread before but it looks like it's still a hassle to downgrade again.

Simple question - sorry if it sounds dumb (and my guess is the answer is "no") - if I upgrade using Surge's method and I have issues on 17.1, can I simply restore my RLS15 setup to the stock slot? It's working fine there right now.

If not, I think I'll need to wait a while because I'll need a day off to make sure everything is working, and if not, go through the downgrade process.

I sure miss the days of the unlocked bootloader (on my old Galaxy Nexus)....!

---------- Post added at 07:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 PM ----------

That looks like it might be a bit easier.

Will look at both again when I have a chance. Going away for a few days and need everything working, so will stay on 15 for the moment.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mkoyskip:
You will need to downgrade to restore rls15.

And always ask away if you need help - I've asked many, many questions, and most have been answered quickly & helpfully! Though make sure to do your own research also - searching the thread is easy (search box in the upper right hand side of each page).

I waited a long time before upgrading, because I was also nervous, and made sure I had 2 full days just in case. Read through the instructions, made sure the necessary files were on the sdcard, read through the instructions again (and again). No probs, worked just fine (I was up and running within around 30-40 minutes). After that I installed rls17.1. And then did it a few more times just because (I didn't realize you can just dirty flash and add/remove the items you don't want).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scootier:
Downgrade is actually quite simple. ODIN back to stock using a full wipe file found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2578209

Then reroot using saferoot, install SS, and restore your backup of 15.

Installed and everything is running great except for one thing. I've searched but really didn't see anything about it.

When using BT with my car, I can use the phone but I lost ability to listen to audio through the phone. (Media Audio will not activate)

Is this a known problem?

It worked when I was stock rooted.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fatapia:
might be a general thread question..

who is running the NC5 drivers? I'm not sure if my original upgrade method(gogolie) messed it up but nc5 didnt work and only nc2 did. I had tried installing the wififix for both and only NC2 works on my phone for all roms. Does nc5 work for those using Surge's method or does ymmv with these releases?

Might be. I don't know. I think I remember that it could be due to anti virus apps as well, but I could be wrong. One thing that seemed to help a little was not being in power save mode and not having too many apps open in recent apps at one time.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Volvogia:
I have a question. I dont believe this is ROM related at all since I have this "maybe" issue with other ROMs also. My System Memory is 6.41GB big under Storage. Is that normal size? Im on MDK with RLS17.1 and CWM as my recovery. 16GB phone and 6.41 is just system... That seems like a lot to me. If that is really high, what can I do to decrease that amount? I have read around in internet about how this phone on average takes up like half the memory for the OS so I know its a issue on the SGS4 but here is where my question fully lies I guess, since we are running a custom rom shouldnt that be lower? I was thinking like maybe 4GB or something. Now idk how rom developing works so Im just curious with all this. Not a big deal since I have a 32GB SD card. Just thought I would ask.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bones519:
I used to have an HTC Thunderbolt.. I was told that the reason for the immense size on those was because of sense. I believe the same might be true of TouchWiz. There are so many bells and whistles in those two systems that they take up a lot of space. I believe AOSP roms use less space. But, you don't have the proprietary functionality these sense and TouchWiz phones are known for. Mine uses 6.26 gigs. I suppose the small difference might be in what might have been installed differently through aroma.

How are you me7 and on 17.1?

---------- Post added at 01:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 PM ----------

No matter what ROM you run, Samsung partitions a large portion of the internal storage for system software AKA touchwiz bloat. In the case of the s4, this partition is about 6-7 gigs and can't be changed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ViperZ28:
Yes and yes. I have also tried complete wipe and reinstall, even left the phone to sit over night before I tried anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
I'm asking how. What recovery are you using? The install instructions tell you have to upgrade your firmware because 17.1 is KitKat and with safestrap the rom needs to based on the same kernel, bootloader, etc. as your stock firmware. I didn't even know 17.1 could boot on me7.

Hello all, I took the kit kat leap today and am enjoying this ROM. One thing I can't seem to find or maybe it's part of having some S5 things installed while I was in Aroma, but the screen won't shut off when its connected to the charger after the 30 seconds I have it set to. Is that something new or am I missing a setting somewhere for that? The screen turns off fine when its unplugged. Thanks!
