That's exactly what I was getting also. I was going to upload my system & boot last night, but dev-host didn't acknowledge that I made a donation to them, so I'm still limited. The file size is 2gb. :(

I put in a support ticket to them, but haven't heard back of course. Any suggestions on where else I can drop a 2gb file? I could try DropBox again, but they might limit my public downloads again immediately. ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Aou:
Curious: Did you happen to flash the SysScope mod and root package also? If you didn't flash these, it would make your copy a full & complete stock image. It could be worth it to have this available to everyone also.

Someone mentioned the idea of possibly flashing such an image via Odin or something crazy like that. It would be truly crazy but might be worth looking into. I would create such an image dump myself, but uh.... yeah. :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
speaking of which do you have the settings.apk not modified... might be something off with system dump not booting
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jthrasher47:
Freezing the SEandroid.APK will stop that recommend to reboot message.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Aou:
While that's true, it doesn't bring WiFi back at all (tried it).

Might be. How far does it get? Also, you might need the MF3 modems too. Not entirely sure on that. Regardless, I've created two new .zip files, just for you. Unfortunately, I can't test either of them, so until they are tested, I won't add anything to the OP.

The "remove-SysScope.zip" package deletes 4 files and replaces 1 more.

This particular .zip (MF3-restoreSysScope.zip) will copy the originals from MDL into place, verify them, and then patch them in-place.

This other .zip (make-sdcard-MF3-SysScope.zip) will copy the originals to your sdcard, verify they got there, and then patch them while they are on your sdcard.

It should work, *shrug*, but again I have no way of testing right now. :P If you try either one of these, please let me know how it goes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jthrasher47:
I did not mean to insinuate that it would bring wifi back I was just simply stating it would take away that annoying message my bad for misleading if I did [MENTION=1124755]Aou[/MENTION] here is the Odin for MDL I was reading in your thread and I saw you didn't know where it was so I'm just posting for reference

No kernel is working, has to be cause knox
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Aou:
Just a thought, but you might benefit from the MDL modem and NON-HLOS, in this case (for your MDL-based roms).

Also, it's noteworthy that the MDL update did update the same bootloaders, but just in a way that did not affect our current exploits and didn't seem to trip any fuses (that we know of).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] spdwiz18:
so I created my own update.zip with bootloaders. I added su / superuser.apk and twrp recovery. the flash went fine and phone boots everything seems to work,

except:

recovery, when I try to enter recovery it tells me that there was an error going into odin mode. I have to do a battery pull, go to dl mode and cancel to reboot system. that sucks. but on the other hand "I HAVE ROOT" tested with ADB. better then a brick at the moment. sorry no pun intended. hope it works out for you.

hopefully we can get recovery worked out or I might have to flash the new odin tar when it gets released. just thought I would share.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Aou:
Can you manually flash recovery using dd?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] spdwiz18:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] spdwiz18:
ok... update. I got stock recovery working and still have root. yeah me. moving on to custom recovery.

[MENTION=4586008]evolution2012[/MENTION]

as I said in the PM, thank you for the input. it is always welcome as is anyone elses. still a WIP but I will get it. ( not that loki will work ).

BTW.

the fix was that I had to manully install the recovery package that came with the update. I did it using root explorer. im sure you and use you fav file manager if you want to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jthrasher47:
I do not mean to sound like a noob but how exactly did you install recovery through a file explorer I have never heard of this method
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Aou:
If I'm not mistaken, there is a script somewhere in /system that will install recovery for you, so long as you put a new recovery file in the correct spot. I believe this is what the OTA update does in order to patch the recovery. This is probably because the OTA patch is applied technically through the stock recovery, and attempting to patch recovery directly while in recovery wouldn't work.

EDIT:

Probably related to these:

/system/recovery-from-boot.p

/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

/system/recovery.img

Sorry for the dumb question, but I flashed a rom that is supposed to have all the benefits of the mf3 update without losing the ability to root and flash in the future. My question is, how come that rom can have both wifi and sound but doing it this way you lose one or the other? Is the rom I flashed missing something from the update or did I misunderstand what I was flashing? I'm just confused... Thank you for the hard work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Aou:
If I'm not mistaken, they included a customized kernel that solves the wifi/sound problem. Otherwise, I'm not sure exactly what they did to fix the issue, but they clearly didn't mention it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sam3000:
Once you (or someone) has JTAG access, you can physically flash anything you like. The only thing that's one way is the qfuses.

I sent my I337 to mobiletechvideos nearly a couple of months ago to jtag unbrick and Josh did a great job. They are able to restore single partitions at a time. (My device was completely lifeless after an unsuccessful attempt to shrink /system and move everything down to make /data bigger.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Aou:
After looking at it again, that's exactly what Scott did. He did a similar thing I did (neutered the OTA package), kept the MF3 modem out of it, and included some other kernel. That's exactly why it's not Lokified and you must flash Loki-Doki (it's the kernel that must be Loki'd if it isn't the stock kernel).

I'll see if I can add some steps here to the OP to do this on your own. Should be fairly easy, and it sounds like it will fix the sound/wifi issues entirely. It seems that the sound/wifi issues are certainly in the stock MF3 kernel - it needs something from the MF3 bootloaders, but those are too risky to flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Aou:
I appreciate the encouragement. Unfortunately the device is more-or-less perma-bricked. The best I *might* be able to do with it is get it upgraded fully to MF3 - at which point it will likely never have root or a custom ROM again. This was the determining factor for moving forward with replacing the device. The new device still has MDL, so I'm good-to-go again.

Again, thanks for the kind words.

Also will I lose my installed apps and data??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] v941726:
Yes. You need to go back to 4.2 and wipe everything . Don't forget Loki and if you can't reboot into recovery, hold down the power up button power key and count to 4. Then let go. Keep pulling the battery till you get the timing right. Not 4 seconds, just count to 4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] prime3045:
Were you referring to me?? If yes then whats loki?? And I am already on 4.2.2 so go back to 4.2 isn't making any sense! Pls elaborate
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] v941726:
Yes. I was referring to you. I did mean 4.2.2. I meant loki-doki to flash after you upgrade and before you reboot. I was assuming you knew. But that's ok. If you're a newbie, I will help.

So with 4.2.2, you are good to go. I assume that you're rooted and unlocked too.

Hi guys,

I have a questions regarding LTE in manhattan. I am only getting 2 bars or 1 bars when my phone is connected to LTE. Is that normal?

Also when the phone switches from LTE to 4G. The speed is really slow like 1mb download. I never had that problem before the LTE was turned on.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Shane_pcs:
The low LTE "bars" is expected as its a different algorithm and LTE runs at a lower minimum signal level. 1 bar is sufficient to get 20 mbps down and 10 mbps up.
[Android General] Steve Punter:
When I saw that Google had a new version of maps available last night I was really excited. However, that excitement died down really fast when I saw how much they'd stripped from it. Just read the 1- and 2-star rating comments that this app is now getting on Google Play if you don't take my word for it.

Here's just some of the big disappointments:

- No more Google Latitude, though in fairness this isn't really a problem with Maps per se, because Google is SHUTTING DOWN Latitude on August 9th. They want us to use Google+ and its Locations feature as a replacement, but Locations is mere toy compared to what Latitude was able to do. It's a sad joke. To make matters worse, the location sharing feature of Google+ only works if the app is a SYSTEM APP. If your phone didn't come with it and you initially installed Google+ from the Play Store, Locations WILL NOT WORK. You must have a rooted phone on which you can assign Google+ to a system app using a tool such as Titanium Backup.

- No more Labs functions. One of the features I used to adore on my S4 was the "Larger Text" lab. This worked great on phones with 1080p screens, as the native text was just too small. The new maps app has small text, especially on a 1080p screen.

- No access to "My Maps". I read somewhere that this will be restored IN THE FUTURE, but until then you won't have access to your custom routes and maps if you upgrade to 7.0.

- No more zoom buttons on the map, though it is apparently possible to double-tap, and the swipe up or down to change the zoom. However, this still isn't as convenient under some circumstances.

- No more scale on the map. Okay, not everyone used this, but I liked knowing how far 1 km (or 1 mile) was on the map at the current zoom level.

- The Pegman in Streetview is gone and overall this feature seems less usable than it was before.

- Offline maps are still available, but they've been hidden. It's rather like an Easter Egg now, in that you must type (or say) "OK Maps" to get it to cache what you are zoomed in on at the time. However, it doesn't store as large an area as before and there is NO WAY to list or administer your cached local maps.

- Many people have reported that Navigation is now quite buggy, though I haven't had a chance to try it myself.

- You can no longer create navigation shortcuts and no Navigation icon appears on your phone. To use Navigation you must start Maps first and go through that.

- No more Terrain layer.

------------------------------------------------

So, if you are curious about trying Maps 7.0, then I strongly recommend that you backup your copy of the older maps first (if you have Titanium Backup or another apps for backing up your apps). Failing that, Google has made the old version available for downloading, if you can find it.

If you have Titanium Backup, use it to remove Maps from Play Store list so that it won't keep popping up as an update. You might accidentally install it.
[Android General] neluba:
Double tap, hold and swipe over the screen to zoom with one finger. Worked in maps 6.x and still works with maps 7.

To get access to your places, you just have to simply press the icon on the right side of the search bar, and there they are.
[Android General] Steve Punter:
I was not aware of the double-tap shortcut for zoom, but I tried it and it certainly does work. I edited the original post to reflect this.

However, I think you might have misunderstood what I meant concerning the second issue. I'm not so much interest in "My Places", but the sub-category of that called "My Maps". These are custom routes and maps you can create with the desktop version of Maps and they were loadable on Maps for Android prior to version 7.0. I double-checked to make sure they weren't there on 7.0, and they definitely aren't. I edited the original post to say just "My Maps" to clarify this point.
[Android General] Dark9781:
You can still launch navigation by voice, but it opens maps then navigation. What I'm not liking about this is that I often launch navigation by voice and like being able to change my route and check off avoid tolls and/or highways. This now has to be done from maps before launching navigation. A bit inconvenient.
[Android General] Morningstar:
I still have a separate Navigation icon? Takes me right to the 'choose destination' screen in Navigation...?
[Android General] waylo:
Another thing to note which is now missing (I believe) is the separate "Car Mode" Maps display.

This was a quasi 3d display, similar to the old all-in-one GPS units, that followed the car movement from behind. This used to pop up automatically when my 'car mode' was activated. This mode would not screen time-out. Now it just pops up with the standard maps display, which will time-out and not follow along/scroll with your car position.
[Android General] Embluss:
The offline maps feature has been added back in a small update. Still not done right, but it's at least accessible and not an easter egg.

I think latitude's features are supposed to be rolled into G+ before latitude itself is shut down.

Hadn't heard about the rest, but several sound like serious leaps backwards.
[Android General] bchalk:
Well that's 3 google apps I'm leaving old versions now, all within the last few months I had to stop applying updates, I gave it a try and I agree, it sucks :(

Maps, GMail, and Talk.

I'm so disappointed in Google lately, nothing good has come out of their updates. I bought in to their infrastructure and now they're just ****ing around with me as they please. I wish they had a competitor worth a damn (Bing's worse imo).

Fire their new UI guys and let engineers develop apps again, sick of this design first philosophy that doesn't work.
