Hey Everyone,

I maintain a website, randomphantasmagoria.com, where I maintain a firmware archive of official production Google ROMs for every Nexus and Google Experience device from the OG Droid onward. I plan to archive the Google Experience One ROMs as well, assuming the ROMs actually come from Google and not from HTC.

If someone is buying one, I'd love if you could help me out with something. I need some information on the phone, and you will need to get it as soon as you turn the phone on for the first time, before doing any out-of-the-box system updates.

Here is the info I'll need:

1. The bootloader version. You will have to reboot into bootloader (fastboot) mode to do this. When you do, the bootloader version should be displayed on screen.

2. The baseband version from Settings | About Phone.

3. The value of ro.build.fingerprint from /system/build.prop.

4. IF YOU HAVE AN UPDATE NOTIFICATION: Before applying the update, do the following. Turn on USB debugging after the notification appears on screen. Go into Settings | Developer Options and select "Take Bug Report". Your phone will email a text file to the email address on your Google account. Open that text file and search it for ".zip" (without the quotes) and post the URL to the ZIP file.

This will be unbelievably helpful.

Thank you in advance!

Any takers for when they get the phone? :)
[One (M7) General] bobsie41:
Just a thought. Perhaps this request may be better in the android general section as everybody hear already owns a One so not many will be able to afford to own both.

Also, I suspect that when this device is released, the information you require will be readily available on xda.
[One (M7) General] oldblue910:
When the device is released, based on my past experiences with Nexus devices, it's not a given that the originally shipping firmware info will be available on XDA, unfortunately. The overwhelming majority of people turn their phone on for the first time, see an OTA notification out of the box, and just update it without giving a second thought to the fact that the current firmware info could be useful. haha

But yeah, if nobody indulges me here, I'll probably ask in the Android general section as well. :)
[One (M7) General] vash1053:
Isn't HTC archiving the roms themselves? I read that they were going to allow all current Ones to change over to the Google experience edition.
[One (M7) General] plmiller0905:
^^^^^This is great if it's true
[One (M7) General] bobsie41:
I agree but I haven't heard that anywhere and I would very much doubt it. Would love to be wrong though. :D
[One (M7) General] oldblue910:
And even if they did, there is no guarantee they'd have the original shipping firmware archived, especially if there's an OTA update out of the box. All I really need is the information in the first post for the shipping firmware. From that point forward, it'll be easy to get all the info for the subsequent updates because XDA will be abuzz with it every time there's an OTA.
[One (M7) General] Arbelac:
I'm looking at getting one, if I can trick the US Play Store to take my Canadian credit card... if so, I can try and get this information for you.
[One (M7) General] oldblue910:
Thanks, man!
[One (M7) General] mr mystery:
Same here, if Google will take the card one is mine. Then I'll gladly share the info.
[One (M7) General] oldblue910:
Disregard this entire thread. This is an HTC ROM, not a Google ROM. It's been verified. For the purposes of my website, I'm not interested. Thanks everyone!
[LG Optimus G (International)] Unreal_Shogo:
Well after all, I made this thread to know which rom and kernel are compatible with the LG E977 Movistar Venezuela. I've hard bricked my E977 by converting to Nexus 4 and flashing with the LGNPST a soft brick bin (my fault). The warranty will gave me another LGOG. I've tested the PAC-MAN rom with its default kernel (F93 v0.6). I really like the PAC-MAN because got all the features of my favorite roms. Is posible to flash the Kite kernel in the PAC-MAN rom without get a bootloop or a soft brick? Could you tell me which is your ROM-kernel combination? Thank you
[LG Optimus G (International)] Unreal_Shogo:
Nobody with a E977 using PAC-MAN rom and the kite kernel can tell me if that combination works?? I'm waiting that Movistar give me another Optimus by warranty, and I want know if that combination won't give me a bootloop or a soft brick :(
[LG Optimus G (International)] syverman:
works well, but for best results, use the kernel that is for that rom (F93)
[LG Optimus G (International)] Unreal_Shogo:
Thanks for your reply, I like the default kernel but I don't know if have OTG support. In that case I was reading and the kite doesn't have it yet

baseband for E977

Hey guys, have baseband for E977? plz my phone is movistar ve, i need the baseband :(
[LG Optimus G (International)] Unreal_Shogo:
Is the same E975's baseband. Which is your problem pal?? Don't you have signal?? Or mobile data??
[LG Optimus G (International)] jomigp01:
no man, I just want to have it because I will install the European version of the LG E975 I think the signal is lost with this rom, as my phone is the E977
[LG Optimus G (International)] Unreal_Shogo:
I don't know if flashing that room you will get a bootloop really, but you will not lose your signal because that is the international model

May i ask somthing? forgive me if it has nothing to do with the main topic, i'm just wondering.

As far as i know the kernel is the one that controls per se the hardware so what notable changes are there if we flash a new kernel? does the phone work faster or has a better response? don't really get it.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Unreal_Shogo:
Don't worry man, well the F93 was smoother and faster than stock

Hey Everyone,

I maintain a website, randomphantasmagoria.com, where I maintain a firmware archive of official production Google ROMs for every Nexus and Google Experience device from the OG Droid onward. I plan to archive the Google Experience GS4 ROMs as well, assuming the ROMs actually come from Google and not from Samsung.

If someone is buying one, I'd love if you could help me out with something. I need some information on the phone, and you will need to get it as soon as you turn the phone on for the first time, before doing any out-of-the-box system updates.

[Galaxy S 4 General] cocreateguid:
totlyz forced

My left brain wants Google Nexus 4 and the right side wants the Galaxy S4 Google Edition. Left side says "it is good enough for you" and the right side wants "the best". Debating now... :highfive:

But if I do get the SGS4 GE, I will post the info
[Galaxy S 4 General] oldblue910:
Thanks. Just make sure you do it before you apply any system updates that might be available out of the box.

Also, another plus to the Nexus 4 is that you know updates come straight from Google. All Hugo Barra would say about the GES4 at I/O was that it would receive "prompt system updates". It remains to be seen whether the GES4's ROM is from Google or from Samsung. If it's a Samsung ROM, you can bet that while the system updates will be "prompt" compared to almost any other phone on the market, it'll still take a good month or two to get updates.

As soon as someone gets this phone, we'll know within 2 minutes if it's a Google ROM or a Samsung ROM. Just look at the Android build number in Settings | About Phone. If it's a standard 5- or 6-character build number like JDQ39 or JDQ39E, it's Google. If the build number is anything else (for example JDQ39.I9505GXXUMD1), it's a Samsung ROM.

[Galaxy S 4 General] oldblue910:
Yep! Any device that runs production Google ROMs will have a place on my site. But yeah, it all started with the Nexus S. I loved that phone so much.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jj03:
Well, gsmarena are reporting that samsung have aired the google edition gs4 kernal...should be fun.
[Galaxy S 4 General] oldblue910:
That leads me to believe it will be a Samsung ROM... :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] Xceptiona1noob:

[Galaxy S 4 General] Theshawty:
Noonish, I bet.
[Galaxy S 4 General] onmike:
I am curious as well. Still on the fence between i9505 and G version.
[Galaxy S 4 General] acey_zero:
Android Central posted a video which includes the "About device" screen. Build number is listed as JDQ39.I9505GUEUAMFD (I9505GUEUAMFD is also listed as the baseband).

So based on what you have said it sounds like updates will likely not be coming directly from Google :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] oldblue910:
Nope. It's a Sammy ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 General] cocreateguid:
Well, Google Play says "ships by July 9, 2013", and I am travelling abroad on 7/17 :rolleyes: I am not going to order it until I return to the US. Hopefully by then a lot of tests/reviews have been done and I can safely buy (or decide not to buy).
[Galaxy S 4 General] oldblue910:
For me, since the updates don't come from Google, there's really no advantage to buying one of these. If you're in the market for an unlocked GS4, you may as well get the skinned Touchwiz version. Either way the OEM is the middleman for updates. So unless you just love the stock Android UI that much, you'll get a ton more features for your money by going Touchwiz.
[Galaxy S 4 General] www1:
I think nope but without customization Sammy can made it very fast.

[Galaxy S 4 General] onmike:
This is what I was thinking. Only difference in USA I can think of is if I get the i9505 on AT&T rather then G version I won't have LTE.

Which to buy which to buy? Not sure what I should do.
[Galaxy S 4 General] cocreateguid:
I will just wait to see if the GPe firmware can be flashed to Tmo S4 flawlessly. If it can, I may buy the Tmo S4, unlock it, and play around it with both GPe and TMO firmware.

Do not use the latter option. It will cause problems.

Instead use an app called "/system/app mover". Select the app and move it, reboot your phone and then go to apps. Select Smart Connect and uninstall it.

Any one who can suggest how can i go about it.
[General Questions and Answers] johnyvlad:
HY, if your question is how to flash recovery,than is pretty simple.First go to playstore,then find Rom manager,from there you will download CWM.Then reboot into stockk recovery(the one your phone allready has)/choose reinstall package (do it two times),and then reboot into recovery.IMPORTANT, do not erase the CWM file,because every time you flash recovery ,it needs the zip file. PLEASE PRESS THANKS IF I HELPED YOU!!!!
[General Questions and Answers] nerotNS:
With this he could brick his device...If the phone doesn't have the recovery available or if it has a locked bootloader he can't do this. Please don't spread disinformation as it could harm other people's devices. And to the OP if you could get a stock recovery.img and if the bootloader is unlocked you could use the cwm builder to get the recovery and then fastboot to flash it.
[General Questions and Answers] johnyvlad:
Scuse me for trying to help .I just told him what i would do,if i had this problem.Now,he needs to search for this,on the official CWM website.It is not my fault if he destroys the world following my advice,so please if you dont like my quotes stay away and dont say to other people that i "spread disinformation",when i am just tryingto help!.......RESPECT!......
[General Questions and Answers] nerotNS:
You can't just flash any recovery on any device, doing so could PERMANENTLY DAMAGE it. I've been doing stuff like this for quite some time and I know stuff like this. And yes, he has to search about it. It will take more time but it will take a lot more if he destroys his device. And yes it IS YOUR FAULT if you give him completely wrong instructions and he destroys his phone by following them. So if you are unsure about something or you don't know something then don't post it, since it can only make things bad not help.

[General Questions and Answers] ashd62:
You have to flash recovery using spflash tools

I tried many times with other methods but it always fails

flashing will void your warranty though, but you can reflash stock rom and act dumb at the service centre and they will fix your phone for free (done this twice)

Miui, lewa os, stock modified 4.2.1(by m_jani) are the only working non crashing roms I know of, let me know if you need their links :)

How to Install?

---

1. Your device must support custom boot-animations via 'bootanimation.zip' file.

2. If not supported, flash the file 'CWM_CustomBootanimation_421_Enable.zip' (Thread: link).

3. If you want the "PC-boot simple-beep sound", flash cwm-pc-bios-bootanimation-with-sound-v1.1.zip.

or

3.1. If you don't want the boot-sound, flash cwm-pc-bios-bootanimation-no-sound-v1.1.zip.

That should work with any Galaxy S4 (already tested with LTE version [i9505]).

CHANGELOG:

v1.1 (2013-06-24) = Script modified to backup '/data/local/bootanimation.zip', if exists.

v1 (2013-06-23) = Initial version.

Feel Helped??? Press Thanks!

Really wanted to have this boot animation but somehow its not working i have flashed the "CWM_CustomBootanimation_421_Enable.zip" and i don see testing screen when i boot my screen.

Can you please help?

Thanks

Ali
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] oliveirapaulo:
If you seeing the "test bootanimation", I think there some "bootanimation.zip" inside '/data/local'. Remove it!

My "cwm-pc-bios-bootanimation-with-sound.zip" put the bootanimation.zip inside /system/media. Check if it exists in this directory after flashing the file! If you want, get the 'bootanimation.zip' from my flashable ZIP and put it inside /data/local. :)

I'll update my package to backup some preexistent '/data/local/bootanimation.zip'.

Hope this helps!

EDIT:

- If interested, I'm using the CWM-based recovery 6.0.3.2 (thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2279579). I've tested several recoveries, and this was the only one that worked with my exFAT-formatted 64GB microSDXC (that functionality is essential for backups/restores).

Foxhound isn't stock based, right? I think that you need to replace the '/system/bin/bootanimation' for a "vanilla bootanimation binary".

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] oliveirapaulo:
