Was only able to fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.3-jfltexx.img with rocker controls available to sideload SuperSU1.51.zip via stock recovery. I could never get TWRP to fastboot. Well got it to boot, but never had any touch or rocker controls that is. That is if you do not want to modify your stock recovery.

Damn I learned a lot last night :)

So you rooted your phone without actually installing a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM)? I want to gain root on 4.3, but keep the stock recovery. I'm not quite following the steps you took to do it. Would you mind providing some more details? Thanks.

Awesome, after a lot of trial and error I managed to find the correct PAC ROM and did the updater script. I am now running the exact ROM I want on my I9505G, this is great. Thanks again for everything!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] Sammy4Life:
Correct! This is assuming you are already on stock recovery and are on a true I9505G, have adb installed correctly with the correct Samsung Drivers and have developer options checked off.

Download recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.3-jfltexx.img from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager place it in C:\adb\sdk\platform-tools directory.

Download Super SU 1.51 from chain fires site download.chainfire.eu/345/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip?retrieve_file=1 also place in the C:\adb\sdk\platform-tools directory.

Shell to Dos prompt from windows Start -> Run - CMD

on computer: cd /adb/sdk/platform-tools

on computer: adb reboot bootloader

on computer:Optional: "adb devices" to confirm you are still connected. Mine was not and Device Manager had a caution symbol, had to update the driver.

on computer:fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.3-jfltexx.img

wait until your screen reboots to CWM.

on Device:Install from Zip - on the device

on Device:Install from Sideload - on the device (you will see on the bottom some instructions)

on computer:adb sideload UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip

on Device: back out and it will try to tell you to fix recovery and fix su but click no-no and reboot phone.

Goto play store and install SuperSU.

Profit!

BTW, this is thanks to many folks from my last night tublah and arip who were guiding me through the process.

Think I should add a disclaimer here that I'm a novice at this myself and if you mess up your phone that's really on you :)

BT Problems

Anybody having any BT issues with their phone. I am running OTA4.3 rooted on 9505G. Bluetooth has worked flawlessly on my phone until this update. Now, I cannot pair to my car. The car sees the phone and prompts me to type in passcode. After that, the phone has me type in the same code. I get an error on the phone that it cannot communicate with car. This sucks! I have posted in another thread and got a response that their phone did not connect to their fitibt flex. Anybody else having issues?

BTW, I have tried several times to pair.

I just checked and it will not work on my PC either.

I get into CWM recovery, but am unable to sideload the SuperSU file. It's as though the device isn't recognized. It's showing up in device manager when I run the command, but not as an ADB device.

When in CWM Recovery, the i9505G is identified under USB Devices as "SAMSUNG_Android". The Manufacturer is listed as Google, Inc. It does not show up in device manager as an ADB device the way it does when it's booted into the Android OS.

When booted into the Android OS, Windows device manager identifies it under SAMSUNG Android Phone as "Samsung Android ADB Interface".

When in the bootloader it is identified under ADB Interface as "Fastboot Interface (Google USB ID)"

To test things out, I booted into factory recovery and selected install update from ADB, and the phone is listed in device manager under SAMSUNG Android Phone as "Samsung Android ADB Interface". I'm guessing that's what I should see when I'm in CWM, but I'm not for whatever reason.

I believe I have all the right drivers installed. Is there something I'm missing? Any ideas?

Here's another post with instructions that might fill out some area you might have missed.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43470771&postcount=46

Step # 5 is super important, if you never accepted a signature for the device the drivers appear to 'work' but you can't do anything useful.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] Sammy4Life:
As mentioned by the othermark in the post above, if you haven't accepted the signature on your phone (which I believe leads us to the conclusion USB Debugging is either turned off, or not setup correctly.) then it will not work. If you reboot your phone, unplug the phone, disable/renable usb debugging, plug it back in at some point you should see a popup on your device to allow this computers fingerprint. Under device manager update the driver from C:\program files\samsung\ directory.

Thats all I have for now. Keep us posted.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] futurejohn:
It's a good idea to do 'adb devices' or 'fastboot devices' before you do any of the commands. If you see the serial number and 'online' you're good to go.

MJ, could you put a warning blurb with the links to the 4.3 leaks in the first post? We might want newcomers to know it's not a good idea to flash those in full unless they know exactly what they're doing.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] calidroidguy:
I did receive the prompt in step #5 and accepted the signature. I was then able to send the reboot bootloader command and the command to flash the CWM image while in the bootloader, but cannot sideload the SuperSU zip while in CWM. Can I ADB sideload the SuperSU file through stock recovery, or will that not work?

I will try to force it to use the drivers in the C:\program files\samsung\ directory, but do you know which driver/folder I need to select? I was looking through the folders last night and it appears that there are a lot of different drivers in there. Thanks again for all your help.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] Sammy4Life:
What is the error you receive when you attempt to sideload? Also it's IMPERATIVE to .zip at the end of the filename. I had some issues and totally neglected to add .zip at the end of the filename. I ended up renaming mine from UPDATE-SuperSU1xxx.zip to just supersu.zip

adb sideload supersu.zip

Drivers.... Not exactly sure, I just selected the C:\program files\Samsung Directory and if found them automagically :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] calidroidguy:
I can't recreate it at the moment, since I'm not home....I think the only "error" message I received when I attempted to sideload the SuperSU file was "No device connected" or something like that. For whatever reason, when in CWM, Windows is not seeing my i9505G as an ADB device. It does show up as an ADB device when in Stock Recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] Sammy4Life:
Ah ok, so when in CWM, check device manager and then you should have an unlisted device or a device with a caution symbol. At that point you can update the driver, if not, then unplug and plug back into a different USB port and see what happens.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] SamuriHL:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] Chahk:
Even though fastboot mode is available on the GS4, you can't flash anything with it. It gives permission errors even if you unlock the bootloader.

Odin and Heimdall are standard flashing tools for Samsung devices, so you should definitely familiarize yourself with them.

I have noticed the green distortion as well and it's driving me away from other ROMs. Once I get this backup done I'm likely flashing back to stock 4.3.

Personally, I'd like to start cooking ROMs build specifically for this phone, instead of using ROMs with hacked updater-scripts, but while I can build, say, RootBox or CM on my Ubuntu box and successfully flash it, I don't know where to start with the kernel source code (which I've downloaded) and how to work with the RootBox source code.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] digitard:
I'm going to go back through the 17 pages, but due to a time constraint (.ie Work) I wanted to post this up really fast to see if I could get an answer.

We have a game on iOS that we're moving to Android. I handle most of our social interactions, among about 200 other things, and this means the business group is sending me a Galaxy S4 so I have a unit to test thoroughly with, support, and honestly... I really want one!

I'm not new to Android, but it's been so long I've hit some roadblocks searching, and anytime I add in "google edition" into the search it pretty much nulls out any other term and tons of "google edition your Verizon S4" type threads come up.

So I'm hoping you can answer this for me, and I thank you for baring with a question you've probably heard before. Also I ramble... sorry, but that's just how I roll. :)

I've basically been given the choice between a 16GB GP edition, or a 32GB ATT edition.

I know, like Verizon, that ATT just locked the bootloader with their current update. While Root is still there custom recoveries are DOA for right now (with the exception of safestrap method). So I don't want to pin my hopes on receiving a pre-update and just not installing it. I'd rather assume what I get out of the box would be the updated one if ordered.

The GP edition has me intrigued because of it's stock design, and unlocked loader. With most of my major memory being music/pictures I'd assume there are enough SD card options that I could get away easily with 16GB onboard + none of the bloatware.

So the question comes down to my tinker nature... does the US Google Edition phone allow you to flash all the same custom ROM's found for the ATT version? I would assume, hardware wise, they're identical so I don't know if ID's prevent it, or something else,... or if it just works.

If the GP edition can flash the sheer # of Custom ROM's I'm seeing created for the ATT variant than that's the sure fire answer for me. I like to tinker and I'm a fan of playing with some of these unique ROM's (at least I was with my OG Droid).

If the GP edition can't it looks like there's a lower amount of ROM support so I may go the ATT 32GB route and hope it gets unlocked in the future.

I know either will serve me well, but having had a HUGE custom rom community the last time I was on Android I really want to experience that again. I've been on my iDevices for a few years now, and I can't wait to go back to Android and see what it has to offer me now!

Thanks for baring with me... sorry that I'm almost positive this is a repost of a repost of a repost. I blame google search. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] SamuriHL:
The partition sizes for the S4 variants are different, so you will NOT be able to flash roms for AT&T S4 variants. That being said, there has been some work that people have done to port TW roms to the GPE and apparently those work well. Honestly, if you want to play with the phone, the GPE is the best option.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] ChaoticUnreality:
depends on the Rom.

Anything TW based probably will not work but anything based on AOSP/CM should work but you will want the jfltexx version.

Also if you stick with the stock firmware but want to change the kernel you will need a TW kernel not AOSP.
