Mobile ODIN only supports the American and Canadian SGS4 variants that do NOT have a locked bootloader --so basically most of the variants except the ones from ATT and Verizon. Apparently the loki workaround we have is not sufficient enough for Mobile Odin to work, and the dev mentioned he wouldn't spend much (if any) time on it until (if) there is ever a proper and complete bootloader unlock.

I had no problem flashing the CWM version through recovery to get to the MF3 modem. I think I remember the issue with the CWM versions for some reason being the Canadian i337m modems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Peaster111:
Interesting... It's the one I use. Just tested it. Works fine through recovery.

Maybe that's why he is going the Odin route?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] chewyfood:
I can report a successful modem upgrade via CWM. Had no problems and my modem is now reporting MF3 (side note, I cleared Cache and Dalvik before doing the flash). However, this did not fix my bluetooth issue. It will always recognize my car's handsfree pairing option, and every so often i'll get a chance to enter the pairing key, but it will not successfully pair. :P

Any other ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Peaster111:
We'll... I'm glad you got the modem going.. Woo hoo!

How old is your car? It sounds like your car may be older (ie 4+ yrs old). Sometimes older vehicles don't pair to newer phones. Several folks have had issues in that area. I use a parrot bluetooth for the car and had to update the firmware before it would pair. Maybe you need a new car? :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] chewyfood:
Well it is a 2008, but it is something to do with the ROM.

Stock out of the box with MDL - paired no problem

SHOstock 2.1 - doesn't pair

My brother's SG4 (same exact phone as mine), updated to the latest locked-down AT&T MF3 update - paired no problem (he was sitting right next to me as he did it, and my SHOstock phone was not)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shoman94:
Try different kernel versions. Nothing is changed in the rom. Did you flash mf3 modem as well? Other then that....idk what to tell you. It's connects to my vehicle and every bt device I have.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] chewyfood:
Yeah, I am using the MF3. Just updated a couple hours ago.

I will try flashing the 1.1 kernel to fix the camera-firmware alert, see if that changes anything in the process.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Peaster111:
Thanks for the assist SHO.. I'm out of ideas chewy... Sorry.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shoman94:
With the way Samsung likes to %=\| us.... Who knows what they did with the kernel source.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Peaster111:
That ain't no lie... When you can decompile and compile one source and not the next... That is some bs. I guess it keeps us "entertained".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] chewyfood:
I just flashed to 1.0, tried pairing. Failed. Flashed to 1.4, pairing failed there.

It did solve the camera updating firmware issue, but bt pairing no dice.

Is there anything that can be done with regards to alogcat, providing you with logs or whatnot?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shoman94:
possibly....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pinoymutt:
Looks like Google finally copped up to this issue, but still no fix....

Weird I haven't seen this pop up for me. Been updating without issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Red_81:
It comes and goes for me. It's not even the same program on all my devices. The Kindle app updated on 2 out of the 3 devices. I just leave it and try again later. It eventually resolves itself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mgfjd:
I opened the camera application and it said " Updating Camera Firmware. Please Wait" It doesn't do anything.

Is this normal? I am using the latest v 2.1 The message keeps popping up every time I open the came

Edit: I read about the Kernel Solution I am going to try it.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pinoymutt:
It's weird, I haven't experienced it either on any of my devices, but I have heard so many people mention it that I figured it couldn't be just a coincidence.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mgfjd:
Shoman94,

Any chance this Galaxy S4 works with Telstra Rom Bases? I was using the the ATT HTC ONE X and the developers ditched development using ATT Stock Rom. They use the Telstra Roms as a based with the Telstra Modem. My phone worked flawless with those bases and I didn't care about any ATT ROM or Modem updates.

ATT always messed the Rom or the modem up.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pinoymutt:
As far as I know the Telstra version is a i9505, and a few devs have played with the international ROM (Goldeneye comes to mind). However, I also saw some Telstra users were having specific issues with some of the generic i9505 ROMs, so they may have some quirks here and there. Similar to how for some reason mixing and matching modems between the US (i337) and Canadian (i337m) should in theory work flawlessly, but for some reason seem to cause a few headaches.

I believe Sho was at one point looking at potentially messing with the international ROM base before ShoStock 2.x, but the current version he's got out is pretty damn solid - so unless there are some compelling features, it may or may not be worth mucking with.

BUT -- Sho's the one with the last word, so he can do what he wants and we get the pleasure of reaping the benefits! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mgfjd:
Thanks. I just remembered the developers over the HTC ONE X forum pulling their hairs with AT&T bases. It was so much easier to adapt the Telstra base. I am not saying the base was perfect but it was better. I used a barely modified odexed rom with some Telstra add ons.

We couldn't use anything from the Canada phone for some reason too. I still vouch for the HTC ONE X phone with telstra roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shoman94:
I may change to intl base when another update comes for them.... they have been at mga for some time now. Unless att comes out with an update... who knows. I do know this rom had been solid for me and I've been enjoying the phone and some needed family time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ALLDAT:
Glad to hear your enjoying some family time Sho.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Sledutah:
Just to let you know this ROM ROCKS! I've tried a few others the last few days just because I've got the itch to flash something. My phone is in the middle of restoring SHOstock 2.1 now.

Nothing compares to this ROM. Thanks :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shoman94:
Thanks guys... my next project is replacing all my windows with new construction Windows..... Damn builders that built my house didn't do a very good job installing these. They just arrived today so I'll probably start on them next week.

Definitely an interesting one. I've never done them but I have my neighbor, who is an expert, mentoring me. =)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cesande:
Good luck.

I would help if I were close, have some experience with that.

Side note... I almost freaked out as I was miss reading that you want to replace the ROM with "Windows" dang hear spit my coffee across the room!

LoL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cbb77:
Sho / jeboo,

Just have to say thanks again. You guys continue to provide an excellent ROM / experience and truly one stop shopping. Been running 2.1 for a while now and everything's been great. Just upgraded my SD card last night to 64 GB version and could not read it in Recovery as was running Shabbypenguins recovery which does not support exfat. Started searching around for new recovery versions and how to load when lo and behold you had the solution for a while now on the first page. Not sure why I didn't start there first but in any case, installed Jeboo's recovery and bam, now can read my new 64GB card just fine in recovery. Install was quick and painless. Again, hat's off to the 2 of you. It's the little things like this that just make it so that there is no reason to look anywhere else for custom ROMs. Hope you never stop. Thanks again :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shoman94:
Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you can see what we strive for.

Here in the s4 section SHOSTOCK just another rom... we don't push updates out every few days so I feel like we have less support. We should have started with the base then every feature added push an update instead of adding all the mods we have then released. I'm happy with what we have though.....I think our current user base feels the same way... At last I hope anyway.... hard to tell with no action here. =)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mattgyver:
Every couple of days, I open the app to see forum updates. I see 2.1, and go "nothing yet." But really, this ROM is awesome. Fully integrated with jeboo's kennel and recovery, it all just works.. Kudos, you two!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shoman94:
Thanks. ...

Ya it's really hard for me to do something just to do something....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dmb219:
Your work is well thought out and professional. I think it's in a different class and doesn't need updated. What you release is good and it's finished.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Peaster111:
We feel the same way! I usually find that a lot of action = a lot of issues. The ROM threads that are quite usually mean everything is good. There's nothing to complain about. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] markbc01:
It's great as is

+1 to that!

- A quiet thread means the rom works! Also, a rom thread where the focus/chatter is about some strange app, or function, or customization (I did not say "Bluetooth" :cyclops: ) and not the rom means... it's a solid, reliable product.

- We are very lucky that you two (Sho and Jeboo) put together such a nice package and really peaked early. I am just enjoying using my phone -that does everything . . .perfectly! (In the S2 days, this kind of perfection took. . . .many months to achieve.)

- Please don't change anything just to change!

Serious users eventually gravitate to Shostock (it was the same in the S2) and its a better thing that we're "there" early!

- Meantime. . . where's the thread for recovering flash-a-holics :eek:. . . going through non-flash withdrawal symptoms:cool:

(More time for Windows I guess, but not the 64bit Seattle kind )
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] RockRatt:
Just to Join in here Who and Jeboo, I too can say that NO ISSUES with your ROM. So I am sorry it is SO QUIET in here lol :) But you nailed everything I need in one shot. So I feel no need to shop around for Roms ever.

Hope your window project goes well and enjoy the Rest and Relaxation not having to update frequently... Great Job to BOTH of you...

Using this rom for the last two days. Nothing to report. Everything working great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rodentkj:
SHO and crew, thanks for the rom(s). Been using your stuff on my S2 and S4 forever.

Just a small story, comment, suggestion.

This week sometime (Tues or Wen), a friend and I noticed we had lost (cellular) internet and could not send/recv MMS. Normally I would do some minor troubleshooting, wipe and reload. But being this happen to the both of us as the same time, I decided to dig in to the issue a little bit.

I won't get in to the gory details, but long story short the APN included with the rom (e.g wap.cingular) quit working for both us (for whatever reason).We both had to update to what I believe to be the default APN that comes from ATT currently on the S4. I will include the settings below.

I'm not sure what this all means in the big picture. Perhaps wap.cingular is just down in our area. Or maybe ATT is phasing it out. But having a 2nd APN in the rom that includes the settings below would be a nice option.

I have a 3rd friend with a stock referb S4 that has the MF3 firmware. Going to look at his phone to see what APN it has defined.

Name - ATT

APN - PHONE

Proxy - Not set

Port - Not Set

User name - Not set

Password - Not set

Server - Not set

MMSC - http://mmsc.mobile.att.net

MMS proxy - proxy.mobile.att.net

MMS port - 80

MCC - 310

MNC - 410

Authentication type - None

APN type - default,mms,supl,hipri

APN protocol - IPv4 (greyed out not selectable)

APN roaming protocol - IPv4 (greyed out not selectable)

Enable/disable APN - APN Enabled (greyed out not selectable)

Bearer - Unspecified
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] RockRatt:
I have the listed above by default so I don't know how you had WAP.Cingular but I don't think Sho changed it to WAP.Cingular in the rom

View attachment 2193234View attachment 2193235View attachment 2193236View attachment 2193237

I could be wrong though but I have never changed mine and started with a fresh flash from Sho V1.6

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Droidmissionary:
+1 its my default as well. . Roc when will we see some theme mods?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rodentkj:
Thanks for the reply.

So you may have shed some light on my side.

I used TB to restore after a wipe and flash. I suspect that at some point the APN got set to use the wap.cingular (who knows how or when). Then I made a full backup using TB and it's persisted since then.

Does this sound like a reasonable theory?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Peaster111:
Depending on what you restored it is entirely possible
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rodentkj:
Being others have reported the newer APN is in the rom, that has to be what's going on.

Thanks for the help.

Been running this amazing rom n loving it.. Idk what happen but I had to update su binary and when I tried it failed and now when I run root checker it says my phone isn't rooted is there an easy fix or should I just Odin back??..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Airtioteclint:
Flash latest supersu zip from chainfires thread in recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Peaster111:
I doubt an Odin reinstall will fix it. Your best bet is to reinstall SU via recovery. you can download the recovery zip directly from chainfire here:

I have made a full Red Theme and my Spiderman theme but haven't uploaded them and slowly working on a Dark Blue Theme then a Green Theme. A lot has changed within the .apks and where things get placed so I am doing them slowly. Plus work and home life have kept me very busy lately.

I don't know if I will do individual theme choice like I did in the S2 thread. What exactly are you looking for? If it is any individual thing let me know and I could probably hook it up. Or if you want to test out the Red theme or Spiderman theme let me know and I will upload them tonight.

Likely... Or maybe Xposed? I may try Xposed for my S4 version of HoloWiz.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] RockRatt:
I like using the VR Theme format. It is easier and I can TRY to keep the themes size smaller and only put in the .pngs I modify or may midify in the future. That is how I did it for the S3 Variants. I have never tried the exposed framework though so not sure how that works.

Back in the saddle again

It's good to be on a Shostock rom on my new GS4. Just upgraded from my S2, and you're up to your usual good work, Sho. Thanks for all you & Jeboo do for us. A couple of beers headed your way.

By the way, I DO have a fetish for status bar batteries - pictures of them on the bathroom mirror and everything . . . so if you want to put 3 or 4 in the notification bar, that would be great. :laugh:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Droidmissionary:
No worries sho, we all love your work and I personally hate the low battery warning. besides a flashing led is only helping drain an already low battery. Do as you wish with your thread, I think I'm getting the urge to spam his email for you lol your work has always been top notch and stable. I just sold my s2 running shostock for $75 and can guarantee there won't be any issues with it operating correctly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Peaster111:
I missed all the entertainment! SHO... I'm glad you can vent. I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shoman94:
The block I put in there was intended for the pop up... if it created another issue then I would want to tackle that for sure. I always left that unchecked so I never noticed it nor did anyone report it.

Just irritating that someone can be so rude and so demanding to someone like that. Especially when we are just sharing to the community the mods we like and then some. Its like I work for him or something. It's a good think I don't because we would have a problem for sure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jeboo:
You'd be surprised the # of "requests" I get via PM. I usually redirect to the appropriate thread. Ridiculous ones like the one above go straight to the circular file.

Sho your work and jeboo is great there's nothing better once you flash and know how good it is you can go and flash something else but they alway come back. so if whomever don't like it or have a problem thats not a bug can move on and see if they can find something better or they can go and complain or ***** to someone else. .

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Peaster111:

To fix this disable or freeze all share by Samsung. After that my gallery lags and even occasional home screen lag totally went away.

Can you get the screen back after it goes black, or do you have to pull the battery? Curious, because this was happening to me on Shostock3 2.5.9 on my S2. It has not happened to me since I moved to the S4, but it is happening to my wife, who has a new, stock, S3. I am wondering if this is a Galaxy series problem of some sort. Samsung has actually set up a desk at my local Best Buy, w/a couple of factory reps, so she is going to take hers in to complain and see what they say/do. I will report back.
