I think you confirmed most of what I gathered - thanks for the clarifications.

I did this, and it didn't do quite what I expected (although maybe it is better than I expected). I downloaded the MDL firmware from:

http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-stock-firmware/

AT&T Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 UCUAMDL (Android 4.2.2)

After flashing it with Odin, and my phone rebooted, I was surprised to note that it didn't actually WIPE my device. Everything was still in place, except now the device reports that it is in fact updated to MDL.

Is that right? I was expecting it to basically be in factory-new state after flashing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Yes that's normal. It doesn't wipe your internal or external sd card. The parts you store info on
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] cabadam:
Too easy, that basically gave me exactly what I wanted. I think I'm squared away until MF3 settles down.

Thanks for your time!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jeffreii:
When you ODIN an upgrade to the same firmware, you don't get a wipe. It's nice to keep your settings in those situations!

Now just make sure you root/recovery so you can avoid the OTA...otherwise make sure you freeze the OTA apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] cabadam:
Haha yeah, I had spent some time backing up some settings via TB, nice to know I don't have to deal with that (at least for now :))

Already re-applied the CASUAL root process. I froze the "AT&T Software Update" app. Is there anything other than that?

Good post.

I'm also on MDB. Do you think it's actually worth it to install the MDL update?

I'm currently running Kangabean with 4.3, if it matters.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] deron37129:
Do not update ota may bypass mdl and go to mf3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] trunzoc:
Nope. Would flash the MDL through Odin and immediately run Motochopper. Just trying to figure out if it's even worth it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sd_N:
Definitely worth it. MDL irons out the issued that the S4 had upon release.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] trunzoc:
Thanks!.

Here goes nothing :D

***EDIT***

Flashed the MDL image. I pulled the SIM to avoid any kind of OTA crap and booted. Got stuck at the AT&T logo though.

I had to go into stock recovery and do a factory reset. Did that and it booted up. Ran Motochopper fine and was able to boot into TWRP.

I restored by backup, but wouldn't boot past the Samsung Logo. Did another factory reset, but still wouldn't boot. Restored a backup I had of rooted stock. That worked.

Reset again and reinstalled Kangabean from scratch. That worked. Went back to recovery again and just restored my data partition. that worked too. yay

Pain in the arse, but let's see if MDL has any noticeable differences.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] custommx3:
Thank you ALL!! I am also on MDB firmware and was wondering about all of this.

I do have some questions if you don't mind. (sorry for the thread hijack)

On MDB firmware, can you install a stock modded rom w/o updating the firmware?(such as MDOB and Goldeneye)

Is the MDB modem compatible with these roms or will I have to flash to a newer firmware to use them?

Knowing its working perfectly now, I'd like to stick with my current setup, but Id like the ability to use a stock modded TW rom, as I have a Samsung smart TV and use most of the Samsung bloatware.

Is there really any reason to go to MDL over MDB?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Check the roms you want to use. Most of them require mdl firmware.

ROM for S2 kernel question

Hi,

I am looking at ROMs for my phone - SGS2 ICS 4.0.3 XXLPQ kernel.

My question is, can I only flash it with ROMS compatible with the XXLPQ kernel? Or can I use any ROM as long as it is compatible with SGS2 ICS - there is a nice list on this forum somewhere but the only one with XXLPQ in the name is Darkys. Ive just flashed it with that and wasn't impressed as it appears to be a stock ROM.

Thanks.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n2oluci:
Hey guys, I have a problem, and I think it's my fault. After flashing the official 4.1.2 sammy rom on my father's phone (rooted), I froze some bloatware from samsung (like days, samsung apps, all those clocks etc), then I deleted the Titanium Backup folder, because he was running low on space, and I thought that I won't need backups soon, as I wasn't planning to flash anything. Now I can't install any app from the playstore (error -101), or apks (application not installed message), and I can't find the titanium backup app. If I search in google now it appears there, but greyed out and without an icon. Now I think that I have probably frozen something that I shouldn't have, and deleting the Titanium Backup folder messed it all up.

Can I do anything except factory resetting the phone? It would be a shame to lose all apps data...

EDIT: I forgot to mention that i had previously deleted the titanium backup folder on my s2, but nothing went wrong. But then again, I'm not sure i had any frozen apps at that time

EDIT2: Also, when I go to settings -> application manager no app shows it's size. All apps say 0.00B. Also, when I go to storage, it shows the free space, but it keeps saying "calculating" on any other thing.

EDIT3: SOLVED! Everything, actually. In settings -> application manager i pressed the physical menu button and clicked on "reset app preferences". That restored all the disabled apps, the possibility to install apps, and my dignity for not being a complet moron, after all. Hope this helps other people that do the same mistake as me (probably the problem had nothing to do with the folder)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AstroDigital:

You would most likely have to create your own flashable zip with the 0731 nightly your using.

Instructions are in the OP's original message. To disable the Dock, you may need to install

another launcher, like Holo Launcher HD. Then within the launcher settings you can disable

the dock bar etc.

[Sony Tablet S] igniparra:
Hi everybody!

I've been trying to root and upgrade my Tablet S, now that it's possible in release5a. But whenever I plug the tablet to my Windows 7 PC, even debugging mode is enabled, I can't see the Android ADB interface in the device manager.

I just see the tablet listed under "Portable Devices".

I did a factory reset, but nothing.

Do you know if I'm missing any steps? It's not about drivers at this time, as there's no device detected. I tried this on two computers with the same results...

Thanks a lot!!!
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
Did you install the ADB drivers? If no, then install them. If yes, then reinstall them. Also, you may have to install them manually. Also make sure you have the tablet's USB debugging set to ON.

Go to BluechipJ's Automated ADB Driver Installer for Sony Tablet S and P for drivers and additional information.
[Sony Tablet S] igniparra:
Hi, I ended up solving it by praying to the windows god.

Turns out the tablet was working correctly as an MTP device, but I was able to modify the hardware item so it would be seen as a Composite MTP device. Then the ADB interfase appeared and then I was able to install drivers to it.

Anyways, thanks for the time :)

Found this link on the nexus 4 forum that has multiple GPS.conf files depending on your location.

For example they have a GPS.conf specifically for different areas of the U.S.

Try them out see if it helps you like it did me. Remember this helps with satellite locks not to make your GPS work if you are on Aries or a Rom that doesn't have GPS working.

https://m.app.box.com/view_shared/w57s1v1n3hie7l5lk28i/d_1033932257

Note: rename old GPS.conf to GPS.bak....incase you want to revert to original GPS.conf

►► "One of the main reasons to root an

Android phone is to speed up the GPS

lock.

►► This happens by changing some

text in a file called gps.conf in /etc/

or /system/etc/

► Get a file explorer with root support

(root explorer, ES file explorer is good

too)

► You'll have to replace your gps.conf

with a new, tweaked one.

► Go HERE, pick your country, and

download the file inside the folder.

►► If you didn't find your country (like

me), pick the country that is the

closest to yours.

► Put it on your sdcard

► Open up your root explorer

► Copy the file

► Go to /system/etc/

► Mount system as R/W

► Paste the file, and overwrite it with

the old one.

► Now change it's permissions to rw-

r--r-- by holding on it, and clicking

permissions

► Change both owners to 0-root

Testing results:

►► The main purpose of the test is to

make Android learn the new gps.conf

file.

►► This happens by using an app that

controls GPS and AGPS.

► Download GPS test HERE, and install

it.

► Open it, go to menu-settings, and

press clear AGPS.

► OPTIONAL: reboot

► After clearing AGPS, and while

connected to the internet, press

Update GPS.

►► You'll get a GPS lock in about 5

seconds

► Leave the GPS locked for about 10

minutes for Android to learn how it

works.

►►This method will get you a lock in

5-15 seconds with or without internet

connection."

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DanDare_77:
Thanks for the tips.

I had a very stressing day surveying data on my NAV android app today on stock (Xperia M 4.2.2) ROM. It was a place without any network coverage. Got very bad GPS despite of downloading all the A-gps data before going to the field. GPS was keeping resetting fix all the time and taking forever to get locations again. After downloading and installing “FasterGPS” from google play my GPS problems got fixed.

This particular app automatically configure and replace old gps.conf file, based on your location.

I guess most of these ROM firmwares are “global” so they may have a not very good gps.conf based on your location (at least Xperia M on 4.2.2 doesn’t have).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] BStrauss3:
Actuallly I think it (AT&T support) is getting a little better. In my quest for MF3 I 'spoke' to three. The chat-bot rep was an id10t. Call #2, Luis tried to be helpful, but couldn't figure out how to get it to me (but stay tuned). Call #3 Annie spent over 30m with me tried several different paths and consulted with a upper level group and found that the upgrade 'send OTA' message function was locked - she could see the button but it was greyed out, probablly because they were trying to control the rate of users hitting their server for the 359MB download.

2 days later I answered the fourth call from AT&T support (i was in meetings during the day) and (figuring it was just the stupid 'how did we do survey' I wasn't THAT motivated) - knock me over with a feather - Luis was calling me back, he had continued to research the issue, reached the right people and wanted to confirm it was a good time to push the OTA message. He had me turn OFF WiFi, had the super level tech push the message and told me to turn WiFi back on when I had a good connection.

Poof. Update spilled down and worked.

That's right:

AT&T support tech called me back - on THEIR OWN initiative

AT&T support tech had the solution to my problem

AT&T support tech's solution was correct

It felt so 1960s...

So I think the traditional call center rule applies: keep calling until you get the answer you like.
