I used a stock rooted rom based on VLUAMG1 according to the files located on my SD card... The rom file is named VLUAMG1-DEODEX-ROGERS.zip. I cannot find the thread where I got the files. Must have been renamed...

I must assume that any rom based on TW would work.

I bought my unlock code from unlocksamsungonline.com.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] josemald:
The oldest stock ROM I could find was an MF3. According to the thread, I should still keep my original bootloader and recovery after flashing it, so should be able to flash back to KangaKat after unlocking, but I don't think I'll take the risk just to save some time on the procedure. I'll just odin to an MDL stock rom, unlock, root with CASUAL, and flash back to KangaKat.

iB4STiD, Big fan of your work with GE and KANGAKAT. I'm still on KK 6.0 because it's rock solid and everything just works.

It almost time for my hardware upgrade and I'm quite disappointed with the state of the S5 and KNOX. I'm a bit curious at what new hardware you are thinking of switching to?

Um, I don't think you want to flash mk2 via Odin if you are on a MDL boot loader. Loki is patched in stock mk2

Was the kernel took taken down? No links posted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Tronicus:
I don't know what version of bootloader I had previous to all this quackery, but my current bootloader, courtesy of adb, is reported as MK6. The steps I detailed didn't prevent me from pushing a custom recovery to the phone via Odin nor flashing a custom rom via CWM custom recovery. It's been ages since I've flashed a custom rom via Odin, I find flashing via recovery easier. Please note only the recovery was flashed (via the pda slot in odin), not the bootloader (which, if you follow the link I gave, is listed below the mk2 stock recovery as a separate file and is flashed via the bootloader slot in odin).

Look at my previous post, in page 604.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Spacemonkie4207:
Does this ROM have the H and H+ data icons?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :
Yes, I get LTE/H+/H
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ChrisG683:
Thanks for the lengthy post Tronicus =)

So I guess in short, there's no way to easily flash ROM updates, which is as I expected :(

I guess I'll just stay on 4.4.2 until a Android L version is released, that's going to be such a pain in the a** to have to restore my phone.

I use Titanium Backup, but I always have this weird problem where push notifications (GCM I think) stop working after I factory reset and restore with TiBu. It's really frustrating, because it requires me to to clear the data on the app and re-do all of my settings.

That's the reason I try to dirty flash as much as possible, clean flashing is just such a hassle. What's weird is this problem never seemed to affect me back on my S3, only once I moved to my S4...

FYI - I tested out this process and worked flawlessly. Recommend a new thread in General section for these instructions.

---------- Post added at 05:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:43 PM ----------

Use [MENTION=5923287]Tronicus[/MENTION] process from post 6033

Here is what you need to do

- Backup your apps and data using Titanium backup.

- ODIN stock recovery

- Reboot into Stock recovery and do factory reset (You can also do this through Settings -> Backup & Reset -> Factory Reset)

- Login to your phone and make sure everything is fine

- ODIN Philz recocovery

- Install ROM

- Encrypt phone back

- Restore Titanium backup

Looks longer than it is ... took me 40 minutes yesterday.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Tronicus:
Uhm... I think you might want to backup your stuff *before* the data wipe.

Also, I did not test if using Settings -> Backup & Reset -> Factory Reset after installing the recovery stock works (I just did it from the stock recovery itself).

Yes, it is recommended. It shuts off unnecessary CPU cores when not needed. There is no need to have 4cores at cpu idle. The additional cores come online when cpu load requires them.

I think that one comes with KToonsez kernel. You can look for the thread and get kernel for google edition 4.4.4 and flash it through recovery. For now you wont be able to return to stock kernel if you end up not liking it though.

HELP - phone call front speaker not working

Hi guys my phone call front speaker stopped working out of nowhere - deleted all apps with sound / equalization, removed all bluetooth connections, still doesnt work.

can anyone please help me??

I cant hear anything on the speaker in phone calls - only the external speaker mode or using headphones will work.

When I press #*08# I get USSD code running then unable to process.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Hope its not a hardware problem

Do this

Delete system data cache dalvik and preload

Then reflash the ROM

If that doesn't work flash back to stock via Odin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] newyorktimes:
I have no option for preload, only dalvik system data internal cache microsd usbotg in TWRP - which is preload?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Bleedos:
I think preload is not available in TWRP 2.5.0.2. It became available when I updated to 2.7.0.1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :
I can confirm there is a Preload partition on 2.5.0.2. Using it is up to the dev as whether he wants to Symlink apps to it. The only app I have there is SNote. I wouldn't go into folder itself as phone freezes. And I haven't wiped it to see results. Just FYI--:good:

If you restored any system data via tb or nandroid backup things could go wacky

I loved this ROM but I had an issue with it...when I made a call and it shut the screen off (becuase its on my face) and I needed to turn on the phone I would have to press the power button a million times and sometimes it would not even turn on. Never happened with GoldenEye...do you think its an issue with 4.4.4 and my phone?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:

Also male sure you did not restore call logs or the txt from tb or nandroid backup

I never have had that issues .. Also what kernel are you using ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] RacerX1911:
kernal ... 3.4.0-talexop-2+-gb4fe160-dirty

So I just installed Google play edition AOSP and it seems that the same thing happens there...so could it be 4.4.4?

I thought it was the sensor but your golden eye has never done it

Thanks for your quick response...and thank you for your hard work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Anytime man .. Try this

Clean install again and only use one of the 3 kernels in the ROM ..

Don't install any apps and make a phone call see if it does it again

Sorry to ask this, as im sure its been delt with. I've looked... Alot... And am unable to find a solution...

When I flash this build, the rom boots with no signal. Im on Rogers btw. When i go into network settings and select "LTE preferred" it will connect temporarily, however when ever the screen is turned off the signal is lost and i am forced to reselect the network manually.

This is driving me INSANE! I have tried flashing both the stock google kernel as well as KT kernel... Any advice or suggestions are GREATLY appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Try this

Pick lte, then reboot .. Go back into settings then pick 3g and wait signal should pop up, then pick LTE and your done

You won't have to do that again

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] celkin:
Nope, unfortunately your suggestion did not resolve my signal issue. This issue seems persistent on 4.4.4 roms, other builds seem the same, i have tried flashing a newer modem file as well.

I really don't get this...

I can manually select Rogers as a network operator, which will hold the signal until either i change the preferred network type, or the screen times out. Then nothing...

I even tried going back to stock with odin, re-rooting and starting from scratch with the same result...

The APN settings seem correct...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
When you odin back to stock it's the latest 4.4.2 build right ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] celkin:
Nope its 4.2.2, should i update from there (ota) or find a more recent odin tar?

Didn't really think about that...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Use a 4.4.2 odin package for your device ..

Once done root flash recovery and do the steps I told you be and you will be fine .. you need a newer bootloader that is your issue 4.4.2 odin package will fix
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] celkin:
