Dark Calendar/Contacts/Email/Messaging/Phone

Hi ALL,

I apologize if I am currently breaking a forum rule, I don't remember of any about replying an an old thread. But anyway, I would like to know if there is a mod of the same (Dark Calendar/Contacts/Email/Messaging/Phone) for the

Sony Xperia Z C6603 running Android 4.4.4, FW version: 10.5.1.A.0.283

I would like to keep my phone on stock/official ROM with a few mods. Currently have the navkeys smaller and the boot animation changed. Other than that I still have the stock Xperia launcher with a dark lockscreen and wallpaper.

TIA

hi

i know its dangerous and i can kill my device but im willing to try if i get the right help

heres what ive done so far

1)downloaded the alpine rom from xda ftp

2) using the alpine upgrade utility tried flashing the rom but it gave me coutnry id error

3)tried fixing the country id error by the method described in http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=16817&highlight=xdaiii+country+id

but that gave me a checksum error

4)i tried the upgrade using baupgrade utlity instead of alpine upgrade utility and it gave me a model id error

how can i overcome these small hurdles

thanks

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] zohaer21:
hi

thanks for the help... but when i ran the baupgrade it says ce rom not found ... same message i get when i run the alpine upgrade

so i guess this needs more work!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mamaich:
Alpine and BA have different hardware. If you flash the rom, you'll get unbootable device.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] zohaer21:
yeah i know.. but that doesnt bother me.. ive flashed the xda II rom into it before ..got a unbootable device then i reflashed the pda2k rom back into it...ended up wasting 2 hrs but saved the device.. so thats no problem

no risks no glory!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tupisdin:
did you get my decrypted file from alpine?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] zohaer21:
yeah.. i did.. but it says ce rom file not present..

with both of the two upgrade utilities!!!

I was asked what the process would be once a exploit is found. Once it is found we will wait for the dev to specify how he wants the money sent. Usually it is just a donation to their paypal account. On rare occasions the dev will just say they want money donated to charity but that is rare and the dev should get paid for their hard work. I will follow up to make sure everyone pays.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jetlitheone:
This is gonna be a hard one to achieve, not because it's going to be difficult but because the S4 Active is an AT&T exclusive and the international variant doesn't seem that popular.

Need an Active forum on here. No pun intended haha
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] yankeesfan714:
Can we debloat with a locked bootloader on stock rooted rom?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] _MetalHead_:
Absolutely. Use Titanium Backup to back up all the stock apps just in case, and then delete or freeze them.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
That is what I did... I took out the bloat apps... Honestly the bootloader for me is a "in the long run" thing. I am more than happy with the current state of my S4 Active, just wouldn't mind the early update and future mods that require a flash
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] _MetalHead_:
Me too. I've already debloated and used FolderMount to move my big games to the external SD card so the bootloader unlock can wait as long as it needs too. The stock ROM on here is blazing fast and has everything I need. I am a happy camper.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] yankeesfan714:
Wonder if geohot is eyeballing the bounty
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] msn.debord:
It'd be pretty cool if he just completely hacks it. =p
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thatbigmoose:
If this happened he'd most likely be able to walk away with the bounty for the S4 AT&T, S4 Verizon and S4 active, so he'd be roughly $1000 richer.

With that, I'll throw in $25 because I don't think a BL unlock will happen.

Might also want to stipulate in the OP whether or not the boot loader needs to be unlocked or if a workaround to run custom kernels and recoveries would be good enough.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] yankeesfan714:
Workaround would be great.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Marvelicious75:
I'm willing to throw in $15 on this as well. Still don't own one, but with root opened up, I may go shopping tomorrow.

As before, I hope you don't mind sending out a PM to those who don't pay up promptly. I probably wouldn't have checked the forum for several days otherwise. The PM got Geohot his money much sooner and got me to this thread...
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mathieulh:
Isn't the S4 Active Bootloader still exploitable with the LOKI exploit from djrbliss? The I9505G bootloader is and is more recent. All you'd need is to change the offsets for the check_sigs function in loki_patch.c and you should be good to go.

Of course someone (I guess you know who I I am talking about) can always repack it with a fancy name and claim he's hacked the Active bootloader all on his own eh ?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Thermalwolf:
No Dan confirmed loki has been completely hard patched on the S4 Active.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mathieulh:
Hum... then it's going to be hard. At the very worst, it's releasing next week in the EU with an unlocked bootloader.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Thermalwolf:
Looks like everyone's gonna be freaking out for the EU version then :) But it won't really help to unlock the bootloader :/
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
Updated. Thanks.

[MENTION=3280118]geohot[/MENTION] if you thought getting root was quick money finding a way to unlock the bootloader (or a work around) will bring in donations for AT&T S4 users, AT&T S4 active users, Verizon S4 active users and probably a handful of international users (and maybe future note 3 users, s4 zoom, S4 mini). No one will be able to steal you joy because this has not be possible by ANY dev to date ;) Flex your muscles and blow our minds once again :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jetlitheone:
The only way were gonna be able to unlock our boot loader is when theres a leak from att or Verizon with the keys or whatever. It'll happen sooner or later but not now and its not hackable. Its 2013 lol these companies are really genius.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Marvelicious75:
I'm no hacker and I don't really know anything about how secure the bootloader is, but I wish I had a dollar for every time I've heard of something "not hackable" being hacked...

Lol I just saw that. :P anyway thanks. :)

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
No, once again i think you guys are confusing a tampered boot screen with unlocked bootloader. When you root and run mods you will see an unlock icon and a custom screen on boot. Usually that will disappear with time... The bootloader will not just unlock by accident, it will take a skilled dev to come up with a key generator to figure out unlock codes.... which I don't see happening without a leak. We can hope for an exploit but... idk if that will happen. I don't think you are going to get lucky and have the bootloader unlock after doing a few things...

There are some of the brightest dev working on this between the AT&T and Verizon versions and they are having a hard time finding a way in
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] suSpendr:
This is correct. I do not have an unlocked bootloader. I was able to enter Odin mode but I cannot do anything from there. The printout says "Write-protection: Enabled"...

I was hopeful that because Asurion provides the same handsets for multiple carriers that they are using a handset with an unlocked bootloader and load the carrier-specific version of the rom. Maybe I don't understand some of the background on the required steps, but it seemed reasonable.. alas, nothing of use here....
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thatbigmoose:
Open source kernel really means nothing to us.

It could be useful to find a root vuln but we already have one of those. Or a way to hijack the boot sequence really early and boot into CWM as if you were booting into system. A lot of DROID devices have a workaround like this and this is probably what will happen with the S4 and by extension us.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
I appreciate you desire but Samsung has done a great job locking this phone down. Unlocking the bootloader will be hard if not impossible.

I say that just so you know what you are getting yourself into. Now, I also would like to learn more to be helpful with development for this phone... but for now we need to get the basics. How does android work, how to use adb, how does this bootloader work. I would recommend digging deal into these topics if you want to contribute.

After gaining some basic knowledge Look at the development sections of the AT&T s4 and Verizon to see what the tip developers are saying and finding out about this bootloader.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thatbigmoose:
Hah I'm not a dev, I've got no clue. I just research and learn things and kind-of know my way around android/Linux and basic Java. The boot loader would be like trying to read Chinese for me.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] JEZZEJAMEZ:
I have pointed a few if my Ppl this way, from other devices. Hoping they have some insight on what kind of work around can be used, Android debug bridge was asked of me im not to sure this will get us much further. I assume the more eyes looking or working on this the better... I have officially asked this phone to marry me for the next few years. I figure I can start slamming my head off the table along with everyone else...

Youuuu cannnnn doooo it.... :beer:

I would like to contribute $20 for this.

Also it would be great if we can publicize this thread, I found this thread by accident.

This thing is making me want to go back to nexus 4!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
Updated.

Not sure how we can get this out there, we posted it in the right place

Don't take this the wrong way but if you are tempted to go to the Nexus 4 why don't you just get the i9295 international active? The only thing keeping me from doing that is the lack of LTE but the i9295 is just like our phone but with an unlocked bootloader but without LTE. Just a thought...

If we can get the word out... just not sure how we can do it
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] darktony85:
Hi,

i9295 international version has LTE. I have one and it supports LTE without problem.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
sorry I mean in the USA the LTE does not work on our LTE frequencies
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thatbigmoose:
Nexus 4 just dropped to $200 so that's a pretty appealing option
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mnasledov:
I just bought an ATT S4 Active (i537) on eBay with the intent to AWS unlock it, use it on TMO, and run CM10.2. I should've researched more, am sad to hear that the bootloader is so locked down on ATT. I know I can root + AWS unlock it at least.

Count me in for $100 if someone manages to unlock the bootloader. Otherwise this thing is probably going to sit and collect dust as my S3 with CM10.2 is preferable to any S4 running TouchWiz :( TouchWiz looks like it's made for 5 year olds... The icons and text are so huge it's offensive! Not to mention it's too unlike AOSP, something I've been using since 1.0.

I tell ya, we have it easy on TMO. My wife had to RMA her S4 and got one with the latest OTA yesterday. I had it SIM unlocked and running CWM Recovery + CM10.2 in minutes.

EDIT: Also willing to lend a hand as a Linux expert and Android tinkerer / Android Dev Phone 1 veteran.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mnasledov:
BTW, still catching up on all the forums and posts on the subject. The TMO users here all realize that full AWS unlock can be done and TMO LTE can be accessed, right?

http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-t...aws-bands-on-att-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337sgh-i337m/

Make sure to dial *#0808# instead but otherwise those instructions work reportedly. I'll hopefully receive my phone by Friday, got it used off eBay, and I'll try it myself.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
Yeah, i think it is best to get AT&T to unlock it from what I remember from some users
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] freddiemercury1:
I am not sure, maybe just because I found it by accident I am assuming it is not publicized...

Thats a good idea I will have to look into the i9295.

On a side note do you think the ROMS for S4 active will increase once/if the bootloader gets unlocked?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
Yes, it probably will attract more people... no way of knowing for sure
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] newbie2006:
Sorry.

Sorry Folks i was in this for $10 and I am backing out now - i sold this phone! - nice phone but AT&T locking this thing down is riduclous - and Samsung for not giving you an option to unlock it is stupid too.

No more sammy phones for me - HTC one or something else - perhpas i will wait for the Nexus 5.

Good luck all.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
HTC One has been the same (look at verizon) I would say Nexus 5 will be your best bet
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mnasledov:
Honestly I'm torn. This is the best phone that's ever been made IMHO and like people have said, it's not getting much exposure due to its being exclusive with ATT.

I don't know if I even want to use it at all until we get bootloader unlock or some method around it like S4 has. Poison my brain with how to use a TW ROM? :( CM10.1 is happily chugging on my T999, was going to put CM10.2 on there but I figured new phone's on the way.

Even if I end up selling mine before bootloader unlock is achieved, I'm still in for $100. Maybe I'll buy one again if that ends up happening.

I figure, worst case, I can take the phone I get, root + radio + AWS unlock it, add a wireless charging receiver to it, and sell it for $100 more than I bought it for.

[MENTION=4315861]joshuadjohnson22[/MENTION] Why is it better to get ATT to unlock it versus the normal dialer code way? I really don't like ATT and had no plans to speak to any of those dbags. They're not gonna AWS unlock it anyway, so I'd still have to do all the weird serial port stuff in that guide. Ugh and it's a Windows-based guide so I'll have to use a tainted computer.

Maybe I can learn from it and develop an easier (Linux) way of doing it. Needing a particular OS installed to do something with a phone is one reason (of many) I will never touch an iPhone ever.

---------- Post added at 09:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 AM ----------

Honestly, your guys' best bet is to boycott ATT / Verizon and get T-Mobile :P I'll admit we don't have the best coverage on TMO but there's not much of this locked phone business either :) Maybe if they lose enough customers they'll start changing their game?

The worst I had on TMO was the HTC myTouch 4G Slide and needing to use the Juoponutbear hack + "wire trick" (shorting out the SD cage to a specific pin on the board while running a script on the phone.)

So, Loki exploit's been patched. I have no experience writing / finding exploits but I suppose I can start reading up on Loki and past exploits. I'm just a code monkey / Linux guy, though. I wouldn't hold your breath over me finding anything.

Ugh but this phone is way too goddamn awesome. I hate the soft buttons on the S3/S4 that constantly get pressed by accident. The buttons alone were one of the big selling points of this phone!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] newbie2006:
Agreed the Nexus 5 - vanilla android - open development world!

Seriously.

---------- Post added at 05:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 PM ----------

Dude i had T-mobile - I live in the sticks i was with them for 6 YEARS - 6 years of EDGE - i was with them for the first gen unlocked phone. I had 3g when i communte to DC, then i stayed with them for the refarm and was so disappointed in an unlocked 4s that went from 3g to edge in one block around K street in DC... I like their style now - but unless they do something to reach people out in the sticks - people like me have no choice but go to a network with speed outside the major cities. so AT&T i have to stay with... but Nexus is a good idea that its open and good for anyone on any network... I will just use my subsidy to sell the phone to pay for the nexus... i did that when i was with t-mo.

thanks though.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
Because the people I have seen that have unlocked it through AT&T get all frequency support where-as if you unlock via 3rd party people are saying that they are locked to only edge and stuff.

I love this device, I think that with the note 3 they will find a way in so I'm not worried, we will probably be able to use the i9295 CM10.1 rom (after a few changes) so It doesn't bother me. I think if you love this phone but don't like AT&T locking it down just get the unlocked international version from amazon and flash away. You will lose LTE but honestly I could live without it... I'd prefer not to though

If nexus devices and future international versions support US LTE I will probably start getting unlocked devices from now on, but I am happy as of now, I'm still holding hope for future flash gordon support and I will just wait to see what the dev will do. Once they find an exploit, weather it is the S4, Note 3, or another Samsung device, I figure it will work for everyone.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mnasledov:
I agree. It can suck bigtime with coverage. Even here in San Jose, my apartment complex gets shoddy signal. I had to nab a Cel-Fi repeater off eBay to make it work.

I guess it's too easy for me to say "Just get TMO" when I have a VZW MiFi card in my bag (paid for by work.)

Sorry I just ended up venting my frustrations at all the carriers and derailed us from discussing the S4A unlock situation specifically. Carry on :)

---------- Post added at 10:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 AM ----------

Fascinating! This guide seems to point to the method providing full AWS unlock -- you have to do the dialer SIM unlock procedure (which doesn't give AWS unlock) then do this terrible serial port thing (Windows guide only) to get the AWS unlock.

I figured ATT's unlock would just give SIM (not AWS) unlock. What would you advise I do in terms of getting in touch with ATT and getting it unlocked by them? No offense to any of these cell unlocker sites, but I don't play with them. I'll either do it myself or get the vendor (ATT) to do it.

Do I just call ATT myself? What's the best dept there that might be able to help? I'm not an ATT customer so it might make things more difficult. I know that when I walked into an ATT store once and talked about the possibility of buying the S4A, they refused to sell it to me as I wasn't an ATT customer. It was pretty much a "Get out of my store!" reaction :(

OTOH, my parents are ATT customers. They're not due for an upgrade or anything yet and have iPhones. Would I be able to get perhaps my dad to call ATT and get the unlock?

Really could use some advice on this front :) Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
Basically call the AT&T International Customer Service
