IB4, Welcome back! Another great job. GE53 working great. I don't know if it only me but 3 minit battery doesn't work. Would love to have a circle battery. But that's ok. Have one on me: 75B53943T4468704H.

Checked if smart lock is enabled, and it is not.

I normally use pattern lock, but same issue even if I change to different lock.

When I use power button, it does go to lock screen, but does not actually lock until automatic lock time has passed.

Could this be bootloader related issue? I have MDB bootloader. Which is pretty old now.

After flashing v53 from oc3 keep root method I lose root..any ideas
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] powerpenguin:
Thanks!

Being entirely new to the topic custom recovery on locked bootloader I hadn't thought of this dependence on the kernel version. I was trying to unbrick my S4 and get the nicest ROM with maximum pragmatism, so I missed most background info.

Thanks for the pointer, I registered for Flashfire beta and will update to v53 when I have time.

Alternatively I may try NC1 flasher. As I understand in worst case I can still odin an old kernel, safestrap a new ROM, then re-odin the kernel belonging to that ROM and boot into it.

Cheers!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] lambition:
It seems file has been deleted. Shows file not found. :(

But, are there any real difference between MDL and MDB ?

This works, but then this isn't what I really want. I just want lock the phone immediately when I turn off phone with power button, but not when screen just times out.

Thanks for replies anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] selw0nk:
That is it and it's what I use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] lambition:
So if you have seconds set for "Lock automatically" and have check on "Lock instantly with power key" your phone does not when you turn off with power key?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] stl-soldier:
You can find MDL here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/14623/I337UCUAMDL_I337ATTAMDL_ATT/

I haven't looked at a changelog, but I'm sure there is some kind of small difference.

Can I dirty install v53 over v52? and do I need OC7 AT&T modules or use OC3 AT&T modules?

Seems like installation instructions need updating.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Apoplectic1:
No, because FlashFire cannot support Aroma and Safestrap does not support 5.0+ at this time you cannot dirty flash it. You have to ODIN back to 4.x and then use safestrap to install it like in the instructions here:

I have the same issue. I use pattern lock. Smart lock is completely off. The lock screen is set to "Lock automatically" after 30 seconds. The "Lock instantly with power button" box is checked. The device does not lock instantly when I press the power button to turn the screen off. When I press the power button, the screen turns off, but the pattern lock is not activated till 30 seconds later.

And BTW, I am on MDL bootloader :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nsical:
Thanks for this. I was able to move from GPE 4.4.4 based ROM with safestrap to GE53 with safestrap. The only warning that needs to be added here, when you flash GE53 in safestrap, don't forget to wipe the stock rom first, or otherwise it will not cleanly boot. After successful installation, I had to change superSU's setting Default access to Grant for Titanium Backup to work (this has been documented before on this thread), and I disabled Safestrap as it does not really work anymore (To do this, I had to install the SS apk again, and uninstall recovery in it).

Thanks much,

nsical

I've been away for a bit. I gave my daughter my G3 and took my S4 MDL back so I can use my new Gear S. Anything I need to know before going to lollipop. On my G3 I had to re flash the modem if I went back to KK or flash the lollipop modem if I flashed a LP rom. I really enjoyed LP and would like to run it on my S4 now that I have it back. Any advice?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Goodonebales:
Can someone explain exactly what must be wiped to perform a "Clean wipe"? I wiped /cache, /dalvik-cache, External-SD (though I don't think that worked), and /system.

Second thing, probably related to the first. I used the method to upgrade to Lollipop stock while keeping root. I just ODINed back to 4.4.4, then used SafeStrap to load GE53. It seems like it's still just a stock version of Lollipop. For instance, SuperSU is stand-alone, not baked into Security settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DeadlySin9:
Not true. You can dirty flash if you still have safestrap installed or use the NC1 flasher method of downgrading kernel so you can enter safestrap and then flashing. Of course, dirty flash isn't recommended and if you have any issues the first step is to clean flash before reporting it.

Sent from my SGH-I337
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Agent5150:
Yep that is what I was thinking.. NC1 flasher, then install OD7 over OC3, install the OC3 kernel and try.

So OD7 AT&T mondules are not needed? I don't see OD7 kernel listed separately either. That is why I was saying perhaps the instructions should be updated to mention that if both of these are needed or not needed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jroq8400:
Note: this process only applies if you are already on a Lollipop ROM!!!!!! There are other steps like flashing partitions that are needed if coming from KK or older. Also this is only for i337 with locked boot loader

That's what I did. I flashed OC3 modules also.

1 backup

2 install Safestrap 3.75 apk

3 install Safestrap recovery

4 install nc1 flasher apk

5 nc1 flasher reboot to Safestrap

6 wipe cache and dalvik

7 install zip GE 53 using safestrap options

- unchecked reboot to get back to safestrap

8 install zip OC3 modules

9 install zip OC3 flashable kernel

Wait a while for first boot

Ignore safestrap screens or hit continue

After setup install safestrap apk and remove safestrap recovery for faster boot or leave in place

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jroq8400:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Apoplectic1:
I only ever get bootloops when I try the NC1 flasher or try to boot into Safestrap while on 5.0.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Goodonebales:
How much flashing constitutes "clean flash"? Should I wipe /system? /data?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DeadlySin9:
I haven't tried NC1 Flasher specifically, but I did manually ODIN the NC1 kernel, flash, and then go straight back to download and ODIN the OC3 kernel with no issues. I'd say if you want to try without using the app but there's always mixed results when you have bootloaders to work around.

Clean means wipe system and data. You can back up apps and restore them with titanium or something if you want.

Going from ROM version to ROM version to me usually doesn't seem too bad on dirty flashes, the only issue is if the ROM changes system version or if you change ROM. Like I know I've still got some weird happenings because of moving from Hyperdrive to GE with no wipe, and I'm somewhat lucky that it hasn't entirely died ;P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Goodonebales:
Forgive my ignorance, but if I wipe system and data, where do I keep the ROM files so that they're on there when I'm done wiping?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jt1998:
In download folder or ext sd card.

Thanks for the above instructions, cannot wait to flash new ROM but just need to confirm something please...

1. we have to use ODIN for step 8 and 9 (it seems like you flashed it with Safestrap ) ?

2. I understand that we cannot use saferoot after install. If I install v53 now, how will I flash next versions without safestrap in future?

3. No need to install SuperSu? ( like we did in previous versions v49 )

Please help.... Thank you all :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] M3RS3:
Hi.

1. No, you don't need Odin for flashing that file both are zip file and you flashed it by safetrap.

2. Follow this guide to all future installation.

3. It is not necessary re-flash the SuperSU because this cooked in Rom.

I hope I helped.

p.s. sorry for my bad english...

ohh and by the way... when we flash the lollipop ROM it take more time in the first boot so be patient...

**and I suggest you read all the thread by iB4STiD well so you know all you need to do to avoid mistakes and go safe... and also suggest you read the most recent post that surely there are lots of answers related to the topic.Happy Flashing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] singh30:

2. Follow this guide to all future installation. ( does that mean, use safestrap with NC1 flasher as its in above guide ) .. sorry for asking dumb questions but I am really not expert when it comes to flashing with a new process..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] M3RS3:
yes men. for example.. if iB4STiD make a update.. for update it you follow this guide again and you are good... but every time you update the Rom make a backup and clean install...

Before I download this rom and update my older version of GE, does Xposed and Wanam Xposed work with this? I really want the setting that allows the screen to stay off when I receive a text message. ( Should be there by default if you ask me)

Also is there anyway to keep the menus and text main screen black with white letters as before? I'm not sure on all the inner workings of the new lollipop. It would probably help with battery savings on an OLED screen and not be as bright while laying in bed at night.
