Where is the Deodex for this.... so it works? Minus the firmware bundle as in the modem firmware?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Delakit:
Doesn't appear that the Deodex has been uploaded yet.

From the sounds of it this is good to flash. The hell if I'm trying anything yet though. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tada10:
Can you put up Deodex? Plz

Can this be installed with unlocked bootloader such as dev ed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BeansTown106:
First thing I flashed was the rpm and the tz and everything was fine. But wifi didnt work second I flashed the sbl2, sbl3 and nhlos.bin and then wifi started working then i rebooted to flash the actual modem.bin and phone never turned backnon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BeansTown106:
I triple checked my scripts and everything went to the right partitions so its either one of two things one being I needed to flash nhlos.mbn and modem.bin at the same time or 2 there are checks in the sbls that require the new aboot but without them wifi disnt work so either way it seems to me as a loose loose situation.. this really makes me wanna just go to att and buy either international or unlocked devices they are taking this whole locking us down **** wayyyyy to far just my .02 though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tada10:
Hey Beans...can we get Deodex minus the baseband stuff? Really want the new features. And sorry about your sg4 :(

I agree, I think your .02 is everyone else's. Verizon has gone too far out of the way with this.

They already went too far by not allowing us to use google wallet..just gonna get worst following the iphone trend.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] racedog:
So, has anyone installed the odex version from post #1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bajasur:
It is crying shame.. but Verizon service is second to none in southern California.. unfortunately I'm stuck with them until other carriers increase their 4g lte

I'm in rural Kansas, its not even a matter of lte, its a matter of service or no service.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
Yes running very smooth :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blue79:
I installed it and my wireless will not turn on. Starting the camera it had no image. Clicking on the button to take a picture caused a message to appeared saying "upgrading camera firmware" After about a min the camera started to work. I also keeping getting that security message warning you about an application and wanting to restart your device.

other then that everything seems ok and faster.

Before I installed this I was also on the newer radio. Since I need WiFi I am going to switch to Jelly 'Beans' 5 with the newer radio.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
Hmm...thats strange. I didn't have any of that. Did you match the MD5?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chuckleb0ne:
Could I just flash the new modem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blue79:
Yes I did match the MD5. Maybe my results are different cause I was on the newer radio. I used odin to install the modem.bin only.

---------- Post added at 02:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 AM ----------

I flashed it from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2358007

but maybe you should wait until more people confirm it working. I have only been on it for an hour so I really don't know if it will cause unkown problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] theresin:
If you would go back to the first few posts within this thread, you will see that without the newest firmware, the WiFi and Camera will NOT work on the new software. Development has paused as a result.

Please, pretty please, read everything before you guys start flashing/requesting stuff!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blue79:
I did read it. I only posted cause someone asked if anyone has and I thought it was interesting that I was able to get the camera to work. Sorry didn't mean any disrespect
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skiddingus:
Just curious, are you still rooted after the camera started working and do you have a custom recovery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] asdecker:
I flashed the modem.bin file and everything seems fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blue79:
Yes I was still rooted and use cwm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] d0ppler302:
So I flashed this rom. Everything works except WiFi which I understand doesn't work. But my device still wants me to update it and keeps telling me that an application is attempting unpermitted actions and I need to reboot but returns after reboot.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 00negative:
This isn't a new issue to this ROM or the latest update. Use titanium or something similar to freeze seandroid apk. That will remove the notification. Or you can look at what apks some other ROMs have deleted to remove this issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] d0ppler302:
Any way to disable the OTA update notification? And remove the files they forcefully download onto people's devices? I feel they shouldn't be able to just throw all that onto your device, atleast prompt the end user if they even want the update. Also is anyone working on a work around for the radio or am I safe to flash the modem.bin file through ODIN?

Sent from my Galaxy S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
There was a post on a thread to freeze two APKs:

"Vooddo will not work. Root and freeze or rename with .bak after these files under system apps the SDM.apk and fwupgrade.apk "

I've done that, don't know yet if it will work.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] s0m3f00l:
Clarification..............

Just to be clear this everything but the firmware improvements? So basically just all the apps not the WIFI, Apps2SD, etc...

---------- Post added at 09:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 AM ----------

If this is the case why are we calling it I545VRUAME7 WHICH IS THE FIRMWARE version of the new update? Are you trying to intentionally mislead others?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] chewwy420:
Ok so maybe I'm way off on this but...

couldn't someone extract the system partition, add the all the root binaries and SU and then repackage it. and then we flash with ODIN??? would at least allow for root access.

Or even ODIN the full MD5 then just create a MD5 with just the system partition and ODIN that after?

Just thinking out loud!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Beans did this but read his thread. No wifi or camera. Because the firmware.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] chewwy420:
I meant flash everything, not just the /system. Full package with Root injuected into /system image.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Not sure, some checks from the firmware. I only know what has been discussed

Beans will know more
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] timeToy:
Here is as far I could go:

Or I got WiFi to work by flashing modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin, but no audio and crashing all apps that are trying to access audio.

Or I got Audio to work and no WiFi by flashing modem.bin only.

Not sure if it helps :rolleyes:

Anyone tried any XXUAME2 or XXUBMEA NON-HLOS.bin from i9505 ? (Thread) or from Sprint ? To try to keep audio ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mhobbs82:
I have installed this rom and everything is working except my wifi. I seem to have lost my custom recovery though. Is it safe to reinstall twrp using goo manger at this point? I just have read the other horror stories and don't want a brick...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] WizeGuyDezignz:
I'm kinda confused. We shouldn't flash this right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] theresin:
Upgrading to the new firmware/software will cause you to lose the ability to flash custom recoveries or ROMS. You will be stuck on the STOCK system as if you had purchased the phone from Verizon. Until there is a new way to root/loki/unlock the bootloader, anyone who upgrades to ME7 will be stuck. I would go to the general part of the S4 forum and read the "Bounty" thread for more information.

Short answer - do not flash this unless you are well aware of the current situation (which is not looking good).

Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
You sure you lost recovery? I've flashed this before and no problems. This build is rooted & odex and shouldn't cause people to lose root. Just download root checker from the market to make sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SmokeyMon:
This is just a ROM. You should be able to hop back from this one like any other. If you can't access recovery from the reboot menu try downloading goo or a another app that has functionality to "reboot to recovery". I don't see why flashing this would blow away anyone's recovery partition.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] d0ppler302:
You won't lose root with this ROM. But you will have WiFi issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] musicfreak190:
Can't you just flash the new radio to fix that issue a basically have a stock rooted rom on ME7 with latest stock kernel and new radio?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mettee:
I can not seem to get a good download, can we get a mirror or something? This is DL from internet connection to PC, and from my phone on either carrier service or wifi.

please and thank you....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] s0m3f00l:
I think this should work:

Flash this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2357610

ODIN this radio http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2358007

Then essentially youd have the MODEM and WIFI of I545VRUAME7 And its Rom Tweaks while keeping recovery and LOKI
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] musicfreak190:
Exactly, if someone debloated it I would run it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] timeToy:

so as it looks we are still without a wifi fix... Is a flashing a new ROM put me at risk for receiving the OTA?

Anyone have screen timeout issues? My screen never timesout or turns off. Yes I have checked my settings and it is set to 1 minute. The screen will just stay on until I manually turn it off with a tap of the power switch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shockz:
Try changing the setting, then changing it again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] donluz:
I tried this and had some issues I'd like to share. The download went fine (despite WinZip reporting the files were not valid) and the process installed the VRUAME7 just fine. I confirmed the new version and the root status as expected.

However, I immediately ran into a couple of odd issues, strange and bad enough that I had to restore my nandroid backup (luckily I made one before trying this) right away.

Issue 1: could not restore my SMS messages using the same program I've used for 2.5 years - "SMS Backup+". I kept getting an error message about "XOauth..." and I was unable to resolve with the bits found online such as either switching text messages to text format or configuring IMAP for Gmail. This was odd as I can't figure how it's related to the update. Once I flashed back to the VRUAMDK version (GS4 stock before this VRUAME7 release), this program restore my texts as it has successfully done always prior.

Issue 2: my SD card would not mount. I would select to mount it and it would give two quick messages. They were something like "mounting..." and then "card is safe to remove" (so, it immediately unmounted it if it actually ever mounted it).

These two issues were non-existent in the VRUAMDK version; my device was / is currently rooted fine under that version prior to the horrific OTA release.

Hopefully someone else will experience this (and have a nandroid backup) and can give further feedback for problem resolve. Hope this helps!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Yep, it will be like any other ROM.

has the modem built in as well.

just follow the directions in my new thread OP, (same as this one basically)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RJV3:
Ok so I read this and re read this and I'm about to fall out of my chair.....

I'm on MDK firmware and wanted to upgrade to the newest firmware for the apps to sd card feature. Currently I use folder mount to push the data to my sd card, but still want the actual app on the sd card...

Anyways, so this flashable rom has no issues with the wifi? I've ready that people have issues with wifi not working at all. since i don't have an unlimited data plan anymore, wifi is essential.

So this version allows for bootloader to remain unlocked and still retain root? I can install google wallet and multi window mod and every other one of my favorites apps and mods? Is this too good to be true?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Since you are rooted on MDK firmware and with custom recovery you can flash custom ROMs.

This is a custom ROM built off of the ME7 OTA update.

This will automatically update your Modem (aka radio) - (you can't get on the ME7 firmware unless you want to lose the custom recovery and option to flash ROMs)

This ME7 ROM uses the MDK kernel because since we are rooted using the "LOKI" method, we have to use "LOKI-ed" kernels.

Since we are unable to "LOKI" the ME7 kernel we are able to just use the already useable MDK kernel.

So. What does this all mean?

You are able to run the new ME7 OTA ROM because huge thanks to gatesjunior who was the one who gave us this awesome opportunity.

What is different that taking the OTA update compared to this ROM?

well, for one, you get to keep your root + recovery and able to flash custom ROMs.

If you took the update, as I'm sure you are aware, you lost this ability (NEVER TAKE AN OTA!!)

The only things that don't work are, PIP (Picture In Picture) and Smart View.

but darkslide thread has a link to a custom kernel that fixes that.

check out that thread.

I hope this now makes sense.

If not let me know I will try and explain better.

(can move the convo over to my thread too now.)

Thank you for the details explanation. I moved from a gnex and was running aokp Mr 4 build, so I'm familiar with rooting and roming. I was reading through the post and saw some people had issues that wifi not turning on. So now with the above explanation, the usual applies correct?....... Download on SD card, boot into recovery, wipe cache and delvik cache. And just flash the rom? Usually recommended to wipe data but is it necessary with this rom?

Last question, sine this is a custom rom and not the actual firmware, does the apps to SD card feature work?

Just curious Beans, any chance you'll be working on a VRUEMJ7 SS compatible odexed/deodexed ROM? I'm sure it will pop up eventually, but I'm a fan of your work and was curious if you had plans to release a build, and if so if you had a rough idea of when you might have it available.

question

Hello all:

I haven't looked too deep into it, but my wide is running this rom (that I put in her s4). She is saying that there is an update request. I am assuming it to be 4.4.4. I can't find any info really on it. Is there any root method on that? Is there a possibility adding the ota from this rom will brick the phone? Is there a way to turn that update request off?

Thanks in advance.

I tested all of them roms onhere, never had any issues except now the redemption 6.0 and 6.1 there is no s-pen handwriting possible, so i stayed with redemptio 5.1.1 and it works just great.

The problem seems to be linked with an external SD card. I have Samsung 32gb, 10 class card. Full 95%.

I unmounted the external SD card, did ever wipe and then installed the stock rom via PC odin. Everything was OK, until I mounted the SD card. When SD card mounted I made reboot and within 3-5 seconds tried to switch among "silent", "vibration" and "sound" modes in settings. Each time when I made these operations the tablet freezes for 1-2 seconds and rebooted. Without the external SD card I had no such problem.

Can you check your external SD card, please?
