Re: Requirements for WICKED v7 ROM

Thanks again for your advice phrotac. I created a Nandroid backup as you recommended. I found a good thread for lots of How-To for the SGH-M919 here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2335109

I've bookmarked it. I wish I'd found it sooner.

When I made the Nandroid backup I got a notification that it couldn't find /sdcard/.android_secure and so it skipped backing up the applications to the external memory. I looked into this and found that it is a common message and can be a problem. If you were already using an app that shifted your apps to external memory, then Titanium Backup should be able to bring them back. There were several threads regarding this here's a two page-thread that discusses it (it's for a different model phone, but still Samsung):

You can't get the official update with a custom recovery installed. You will need to revert to full stock through Odin in order to get the official update.

Once you do that, you can reroot it and flash yur customer roms and recovery again.

Hi, i had been on cm 11 and it was running 4.4.2. I had already done an OTA update to get on kitkat, so i wasnt wrried about doing another by cm. So i did the update and when my phone rebooted after it just had finished, the phone doesn't want to start. Its been hanging on the samsung galaxy s4 startup screen and refuses to change. I pulled the battery many times out. What should i do?

My issue is that regardless of what rom I attempt to download i get the error below. Specifically, I've tried to download virginROM 2.3, which seems to be compatible with my device. From what I understand status 7 is in place to keep you from flashing an incompatible rom and so I'm not too sure how to proceed from here. Any and all help would be appreciated.

It looks like all you need to do is upgrade your modem to mk2 through odin. You are on mdl (last three digits of baseband). Do you need help with that?

Also, many ge, aosp, and cm roms require cwm recovery to flash them. Twrp fails.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] phrotac:
Well, some roms, like cm, aosp, and nightlies receive OTA updates through goo manager, and you can even download some roms through goo manager, but you should still flash a full rom through recovery. I don't know if goo manager just downloads nightly updates or if it installs them too. I'm a TW user myself so I don't have any experience with goo manager or nightly updates. Maybe someone else can chime in and clarify that for us???

Low LTE signal strength

I rrecently purchased two sgh-m919s from swappa one brand new and the other used. I rooted the new one and have done nothing to the used one. The used one (both are on 4.3 stock rom) only gets one bar of Lte sitting right beside the new one with full bars. I've looked but maybe not closely enough for a solution on the forums and haven't come up with anything. Can someone please be kind enough to point me in the right direction? The used one with low signal has CWM installed and I am unsure what has been done with it prior to my purchase. Pointing me in the right direction for research would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance. I bought the phone for my roomie and he is PO'd at me for selling him a bad phone....rrrgh.

You can use CF Autoroot, rooting only will nit trip Knox. Installing custom recovery and ROM will.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HeWhoGameZ:
On his website it specifically said that it will trip Knox. Samsung also specifically said that CF will trip Knox.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] WhosAsking:
A quick "Did I break something?" question. In all my ROM churning, it seems I've lost track of the last 4.3 TW ROM nandroid I had that was capable of talking to the Secure Element.

Now I understand KitKat (4.4.x) ROMs can use Wallet without the Secure Element. However, I'm going back on T-Mobile and need its WiFi Calling, which is only available on TouchWiz.

Based on what I've read, if you've lost track of the chain needed to talk to the Secure Element, it's pretty much locked out. Will this mean I pretty much can't Tap and Pay unless and until a T-Mobile branded KitKat TouchWiz emerges?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
That makes sense bcause CF Autoroot installed a custom recovery during the rooting process then restores the factory recovery when it's done. Still, in the process it changes the recovery twice, thus tripping knox I think.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
You should always be able to do a full factory restore of the stock T Mobile 4.3 TW ROM using Odin from your PC. That will return the phoen to it's original 4.3 state as though you just took it out of the box, except that the flash counter and knox flag will be tripped. But that won't impact the use of the device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] WhosAsking:
Including the Secure Element, which last I read is completely separate from and immune to Odin? Everything I've read indicates that once the Secure Element is locked out due to a broken chain, the only alternative is a replacement phone (which in my case is not that pressing). Can you verify for me that a full stock Odin flash CAN restore the Secure Element to pristine condition allowing the the use of the modified Wallet? If so, then perhaps I'll make arrangements for this.

As for my phone's original state, it was 4.2.2, actually. Could flashing THAT (which has no KNOX in it) with Odin instead be possible, or is flashing to 4.3 a one-way affair?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
I can't verify the secure chain thing. I don't know the answer.

And you can't restore to 4.2.2. The updated knox bootloader won't let you replace it with a non knox bootloader in Odin. 4.2 has the non knox, so it's a one way trip.

http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2013/12/Safe-Root-Android-4.3-Galaxy-S3-S4-Note-No-Warranty-Void.html

I found this but I'm kind of on the fence about rooting right now because of the incoming Kit Kat OTA. But I think I might just root and then wait for a 4.4.2 safe root method.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
There won't be a 'safe' rooting method for 4.4

4.4 will still have knox and any attempt to change the recovery will trip it.

And with every update to a phone, the rooting methods get harder. That means less safe.

CF Autoroot is very safe in the sense that it will work easily in 30 seconds and wont' break your phone. But it will voice the knox warrenty. It will not void the "I lost it or broke the screen insurance" warrenty.

It will not be any more safe in 4.4. It migh tbe less safe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] WhosAsking:
Thanks, then. I'll assume at this point the Secure Element is not recoverable. Fortunately, only the old Google Wallet needed it. If it weren't for WiFI Calling, I'd go back to 4.4.2 AOSP where the SE isn't needed. Anyway, the S4 is on the official 4.4.2 OTA list. Perhaps once T-Mobile works on it we'll see some progress there. In the meantime, I can wait and just use Wallet as a money sender. It's not like the number of contactless places is growing anytime soon (on the contrary, more are turning them off).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] phrotac:
Sorry but incorrect. Using cf-auto-root will most definitely trip knox ;)

Excellent discovery! Thanks :)

[General Questions and Answers] incith:
Is it possible to add or modify the list of built in email providers that Android knows about?

For example, at our company we are using Pantech devices. When the Email application is launched for the first time it asks you to select your email provider: MS Exchange ActiveSync, gmail.com, yahoo.com, hotmail.com, att.net, aol.com, aim.com, lycos.com, Other(POP3/IMAP).

I want to modify this to include our companies default email settings if possible.

I've already rooted the devices to customize them so that is not an issue; I just simply cannot find ANY information about this. Are they built in to the APK? I've opened the APK but couldn't find anything inside of it that seems to list the providers.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thfreedumb:
Hello,

I currently just have an unlocked and rooted phone. It seems to be okay in most areas except my office, which is 25 stories up (downtown chicago).

I see that it starts out on 3G (H when needed) but then after a short while it goes down to E and pretty much stays there. However, if I do the *#*#4635#*#* and change to the GCDMA or whatever it is the 3G/H comes back but then shortly goes back to E.

Since I keep getting the H signal and it appears to be 3/4 bars i'd like to know what is going on with my phone. I've researched various things on the forum relating to ROMs, Kernals, flashing to a different radio being able to help this problem.

Was just looking to see if there was a guide on the process. I don't need blazing speeds at the office but I would like for it to be above E. I am unsure where to start. I am not sure whether i'm just SOL in this building or whether another Radio could help me. i've never seen the E connection anywhere else.

Thanks in advance.

If it's a carrier issue, any recommendations for Chicago high rise buildings? Honestly I would be fine with 5 mbps speed. I used to have verizon and some days it'd work and other days would be a nightmare.

Does it stay on the Network type when you change it? Is 'use only '2G networks' option enabled on your Mobile network settings?

Try to flash to another RADIO and flash back to UCMC1 on CWM. If it still doesn't work, flash to stock AT&T ROM and make sure you can get other than EDGE speed and then flash CM 10.1.

Good luck.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pwong9:
That explains why you get EDGE 2 because of that. I suggest you to diable 'use only '2G networks' option and to flash [RADIO][UXUMA7] For I727/I727R on CWM to see if can get HSPA+/3G first after that.
