Verizon OTA i545

received the Verizon update tonight. selected update later after downloading to my computer. i am rooted using the motochopper exploit so i wanted to do some research before doing the update, and see if i could find any info on what the update actually includes. i figured its mainly apps to sd and hopefully a camera software update. after downloading the update from the samsung computer app and selecting update later, i later connected my rooted S4 to try the update. when checking for updates on the phone, I'm told that the software is up to date. checking again in the Kies updater brings up a message that no updates are available.

tldr: update is out for Verizon, have not yet tried it on my rooted S4--update failed as i was told my phone is already up to date

I got the update through the Software Update Assistant on my computer. I was given the option to either update now or later as of last night. It would make sense that THE update is not officially out yet as there are no details on it, though I am left to wonder as to what update I did receive last night...?

My apologies for any confusion or frustration I have caused!

I dont believe the (questionable) update has yet to be pushed to the device. I keep checking for updates and checking using Kies and have not had any updates on my device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mssam:
agreed. I just checked mine and no updates were available. Mind you now, that was on the stock verizon rooted, not a custom rom. From the info on the samsung site, the update is not available for our device yet...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] whichdroid2look4:
I am in the same environment as yourself. Would you, or anyone, happen to know a way of reviewing the activity within this program? To reference, I am talking about the Verizon Wireless Software Upgrade Assistant. I ask because if this was any kind of Android update, I would want to check the contents of the update before allowing it to be pushed to my device
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bagel_in_Maryland:
Hopefully it improves the camera BIG TIME!!!

I got my Black 16GB S4 from verizon and i must say, even though its much smoother than the s3, the Camera is Rubbish!! Far from impressed with cam quality, the pics are all grainy and appears to be somewhat zoomed in even without utilizing the zoom controls.

My s3 takes way better pics than the s4 and thats pathetic. However, if they do come out with a 32GB version i will probably trade up but only if this update fixes the sloppy camera quality!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Agitated Falcon:
I've been going nuts trying to find a way to move my apps to the ad card. This insane can't come any sooner!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
Hmm...my pics r fine no graininess here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bagel_in_Maryland:
Welp

maybe i have a defective camera on mine then because overall the s3 pics are more robust and sharper. Ill goto the bestbuy and see if they can swap it for me tomorrow =( i gotta pick up a sim card for this motorola xoom tablet i bought anyway, thats a whole nother story, the camera on that thing is AWFUL for 5MP

I have bad luck with devices,, either the camera sucks or video playback is terrible
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Did you take the protective film off the camera lens?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bagel_in_Maryland:
Nope, i took it off and got this cool spigen neo hybrid case. thats when i noticed it. I think its just a defective camera maybe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JimmyHACK:
Any word if this new camera firmware included fixes the slow camera shutter speed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DeMi-GoD:
Doesn't look like anyone has any idea.. However I called Verizon and they said the update will come out in early July so just a couple more weeks.

I believe he is talking about the Verizon S4 as we have it now.

Verizon made several changes to it. Removing the Wifi toggle and Blocking mode are just the first two that come to mind.

And Verizon will meddle in their version of this update as well... Just more reasons to root and flash.

Read that this might lock the bootloader so Samsung Knox will work right? Hope its not true. Maybe its just for the Sprint version?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bloodcrav:
Our bootloader is locked :/ Knox is bad news so im waiting for our kickass Devs to rip the update apart. I will not lose loki!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] inge--:
how I install the German update????

and should that then also in the download mode startup??

so extract file than startup in mobile off and then download mode and then odin open and then click file upload in pda and then click start.

or is this all wrong?????
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gam3r 4 Life:
Sorry, I have idea how to help you. Hopefully someone else that has installed the update you need can help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rushless:
I should have followed this as well. I am stuck with no root and ZERO device improvement people were touting. Still performs great and I do not need no stinkin' apps 2 sd.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Eric214:
Sooo here's just an important question reguarding S4 updates from Verizon. For those that didn't take the update with the Knox. My guess is until someone figures out root on it (if it can be figured out) we should never take a verizon update at this point. I mean we won't be able to take a 4.3 or 5.0 update since im guessing Verizon will include that kernel/Knox thing with each update going forward.

So in essence we are stuck with 4.2.2 conceivably for a long time, maybe stuck period.

You know that damn Knox thing should be an install for ppl needing that type of security (Like the Government etc...) This shouldn't be made into every firmware version. I doubt Samsung wanted it this way and it's a way for verizon to screw over everyone. I mean if you think about it, they should hope ppl root and screw up their phones so they don't have to back them with warranty the phone, ppl would be stuck paying full price for another phone. It really is a bad business model really. One that just pisses ppl off just enough to probably make this their last phone with Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Edjekadetj:
Hi there,

Ever since I downloaded the firmware update for my (German) S4, I got KNOX as well and I cannot root my phone anymore.

Security is taking over everything!

KNOX is not to be deleted..

So my advice is never to install a firmware update as long as there is no cure to this.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] chrishoyt2012:
Knox isn't installed by default... Some parts of it are running.. But not the physical app. Every carrier is getting knox with there update..

Hello,

I am using htc Desire S and I have installed 4EXT Recovery 2.2.7 RC5.

My HBOOT Version is 2.00.002.

Just now I tried many times (even trying with different SD cards) but I failed to install Endymion V3.5 (Link below)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1310845

The problem is: When I installed, and reboot, it shows "htc" in green words with bright white background, then all black, then "htc" in green words with white background again, then it boots into 4EXT Recovery 2.2.7 RC5.

I used "wipe all partitions except SD card". Then install from SD card, choosing the correct zip file (And it also shows to me that I have successfully installed the ROM)

I then tried to use another ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1429215

This one, it successfully does not boot me into Recovery, but it remains on the booting screen for more than 10 minutes, so I suspect it also failed...

I then continued to try this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1230029

THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME AS INSTALLING ENDYMION!!

Finally, I reinstalled my old ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1545558

AND IT SUCCEEDED.

=================================

Now I suspect it was the problem of Andriod version, those ROM which booted into recovery are all (though only 2) 2.3.5

Does anyone knows how to solve this?

Any other thing (except full wipe) I need to do or change or make sure, before installing Endymion V3.5?

(I even tried both EXT3 and EXT4. Also failed.......)

Thank you very much and it is really urgent (I am going to have a flight tomorrow...)

(Because the only succeeded version does not have a wifi hotspot function)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sira Lam:
SOLVED!!!

I finally solved it by myself!!!!!

Well not actually,

just because I read this:

"If you unlocked your phone via htcdev.com, you must flash the included

boot.img after flashing the ROM in recovery:

- Boot into fastboot, either by:

- Turning phone on whilse holding VOLUME DOWN, or

- adb reboot bootloader, or

- using an option in your recovery (eg. Reboot Bootloader)

- Connect your phone to your PC and copy the boot.img from the ROM .zip

to the same place as fastboot.exe and issue the following command:

- fastboot flash boot boot.img

Failing to follow these instructions on a htcdev.com unlocked device will

cause the ROM to fail to boot, or will cause other issues."

This is part of the guide from CM9. I then copied boot.img of Endymion using the same method and solved...!!

[RAZR i Themes and Apps] Omar-Avelar:
It will never work fully -- there is not gyroscope for sure on the xt890, I was probing through SMBus/i2c trying to find it (I had it activated for a while too just to avoid force closes but you will never get a real photosphere on this hardware).
[RAZR i Themes and Apps] max_choco:
clear already said, but if you install the mod, you'll realize that taking pictures in the picture vertical field, and the panoramic horizontal, so we're taking pictures on a coordinate axis cartecianas (using math as an example) but does not draw full pictures. Needless Real gyroscope to achieve this, just a matter of vectorozar extremely accelerometer.

if you look there are 2 roms for motorola defy with photo sphere, and has no gyroscope

For some reason it is like my phone is stuck with auto brightness on even tho it is off. I had 3 HTC Ones next to each other. My phone was more dim out of all of them.

Any way to edit build.prop or something to fix this?

I also looked for an answer didn't see anything.

I'm on the newest viperRom, stock kernel.

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] slimc84:
Is power saver on?

He's basically got to go with stock CM kernel with no changes to the source as to achieve official CM status somewhere along the road.

As there is no custom kernel at the moment, neither do i have time or knowledge to compile custom kernel.

I've decided to compile GM build based on Skullface project.

As Panda00 said it's a long road ahead.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] s2+user:
Sorry to interrupt but I try to follow CM build and have some questions:

- Basically we use(d) http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro as guideline?

- Device configuration is already done -> skullface's github? Is this one for I9105P or also for I9105?

- Can the stock samsung kernel be used with CM or has it to be kernel source from Samsung Open Source?

- As for kernel source I saw different things till now: skullface imported GT-I9105_SWA but for GT-I9105P we need GT-I9105P_JB?

- There are also GT-I9105_CIS and GT-I9105_MEA available at Samsung Open Source. Are those regional stuff or what's the meaning of CIS and MEA? Does it matter which to choose?

- Next step would be trying to build CM (if Samsung stock kernel can be used it would be easier to build CM instead of using kernel source I assume)?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] panda00:
You have a lot of questions. LOL.

Skullface's work is based on I9105P source , but he just misnamed it.

The stock boot.img cannot be used, you have to modify it (just a little bit) to work with CM. If you're using Skullface's work then that was done for you already.

I know that MEA is Middle East and Africa.. so yes they're regions.

As you can see here https://github.com/KINGbabasula/android_device_samsung_i9105P there is a file called extract-files.sh. We need to run it on linux with a i9105P connected.

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] luffybaby:
I've repo synced whole cm.

But I don't know how to put i9105P device tree on cm.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] ptothej:
Please install ADB go to home\Android\vendor\gt9105p and run the exctract.sh to get the vendor files.

home\Android folder is the one whre the CM repo is synced
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] KINGbabasula:
Ok do this. Go to your working cm folder then .repo create the folder local_manifests and then unzip the attached file and insert local_manifest.xml into local_manifests folder. Then re sync (it won't take long).
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] KINGbabasula:
No he doesn't have the device tree synced. After doing that in th previous post he must got to device/samsung/i9105P/ and run ./extract-files.sh

lunch cm_i9105P-userdebug

make otapackage
