Development section.. me7 stock .. Take out Battery start Odon hold volume down plug in usb.. Make sure drivers are installed. . After it says comm. In Pda browse to stock me7.. reinstall battery then start. . You may need a pit file not sure. .when done Reroot.. There is no cwm for me7 yet so your done after rooting don't try cwm or twerp
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RawDawg805:
Can someone point me to the stock ME7?

This is undoubtedly my solution as I did not do enough research before I tried to flash TWRP while running ME7. I'm a complete noob on this forum and when you say dev section, me7 stock; well, I still have no clue how to find it. I would be extremely grateful if someone could take their time and post a link. Thank you guys. Just switched back from iOS and look forward to becoming a part of the android community!

If you upgraded to MJ7 that link will not help you. You need to Odin a MJ7 stock. I had to do it last night problem is you will lose root. You cant flash back to anything yet if you were on MJ7.

get out of downloading loop

I have read all the different ways to get out of a downloading loop with ME7 and none of them worked for me. however, i did find another way that did work.

if your phone boots to downloading every time you boot. I came up with this method. I can only attest that it worked for me.

1. At the downloading screen, plug your phone into your computer

2. Run Odin (I used Odin3 v3.09)

3. Uncheck auto reboot and F. Reset Time

4. Select PIT and load a .pit fil ( I used a file called "SCH-I545.pit" that I downloaded from these forums)

5. Click Start

It will fail and your Message box will look like this

<ID:0/005> Added!!

<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..

<ID:0/005> File analysis..

<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/005> Initialzation..

<ID:0/005> Set PIT file..

<ID:0/005>

<ID:0/005> Re-Partition operation failed.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

<ID:0/005> Removed!!

6. Now uplug your phone from the computer and reboot.

The only explanation I can come up with is that the partition file info gets corrupted or lost and doing this either rewrites the partition info file or tells the system where to look for it. I could be wrong but it is the only thing that works for me.

good luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NateV:
THANX!!

FIXED!!! thank you, i registered here just to say thanks for posting this. Ive been looking for hrs. and this was all I had to do the whole time. great solution for being stuck on the downloading screen with errors....thank you!!! I thought I ruined my new phone! =D lol:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NateV:
Out of boot loop....Recovery mode is still corrupted though

So has anyone found the stock recovery for sch-i545? I believe I corrupted the stock files. I would just like to re-flash to stock recovery but cannot find any files to do so!. Help would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
You need to stop worrying about getting recovery installed and get a factory ROM that works. You can't flash a custom recovery on anything other than a MDK phone. If you know that you had MDK, then you need to use the Loki rooting technique to reinstall recovery. Otherwise, you need to re-flash your device with a working image.

There's stock ODIN images for every version of the I545 in the Android Development thread. Using those means that you need to know what build you started with. If you don't know, flash the MJ7 Emergency Recovery image which will get you back to working order.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NateV:
The phone is working perfectly in every way. the only issue is that if I attempt to enter recovery mode it goes into the whole downloader thing and just loops into that unless I go into ODIN on the computer and flash the i545.pit file or whatever it does then it will reboot normally. I guess it's just more annoying than anything to have this weird glitch with the recovery mode function....But it sounds to me like I would have to re-flash with an older ROM cuz mines 4.3 MK2 I545. Is that correct? or I could just wait for a custom recovery to come out for my version. Am I getting it?. Not to sound dumb, Its just when I jailbroke my ipod touch it was not this ridiculously involved. I have a ton of cracked apps and stuff on there. that's all I was really trying to accomplish to begin with! lol. Any advice is appreciated...There is vast knowledge on this site! I'm just a noob yet,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Well if your on mk2 then you're only Option is safestrap anyways. Like he said above you probably just need to flash the full stock image via odin. Then root.. Then safestrap. So it's not to to bad and all can be found in development section or general.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kenpachiechan:
Lol, me too. Rooting shenanigans :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NateV:
OK, so here's where I'm at now. I did as you suggested, I finally found the stock ROM for MK2 and re-flashed via ODIN I re-rooted and my stock recovery mode is working perfectly. YAY success. So now I am going to try and install safestrap and a custom ROM....I was going to use Hyperdrive cause there's a video on youtube for how to do it. What are some of your guys favorite ROMS?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
Hyperdrive is your only choice at this moment....

You need to flash, in odin, the full wipe tar file for the bootloader you were on. You should also read the stickies, they would've told you what you tried to do will soft brick the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
I have done this a few times...

if you have the verizon upgrade/repair program installed on your computer, open it up and go into the repair program.... attach the phone in download mode and the vzw repair should recognize the phone as needing emergency repair. it will run the program and install a new image, and fix the phone to new.

BE WARNED!! when you do this, it will install the latest version (NC5) onto your phone with the newest bootloader on it also. But, towel root does root this phone, and then you can try adding a custom recovery. Hope this helps somebody.

---------- Post added at 02:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 AM ----------

If you have or can install the Verizon upgrade/repair program form the S4 on your computer, go into the repair part and connect it in download mode. the VZW repair should recognize it as need emergency repair/recovery.

BE WARNED!! It will install the latest version of firmware (likely NC5) onto your phone and the latest bootloader. The good news is that "towel root" will root this model phone and you can start over with custom recovery installs on Odin... hope this helps somebody, as I have had this issue a few times trying to flash recovery and trying different root methods in the past.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spyder1384:
A simple method that i found to get out of download mode is to extract (obtain) whatever current modem version you're using and flash through odin. I'm on a stock NC5 rom and this allowed me to at least boot up the phone. Bad news is you still have no recovery mode and will still end up in download mode if you try so you will still have to reflash your ROM but at least you'll be able to get any thing you need from you phone if you didn't back up your files first.

NOTE: Flashed using Odin 3.10..6

Also, i've tried installing TWRP recovery through TWRP manager a few times now and still end up with the same issue. Anyone know if there's a specific version of TWRP that works for stock rooted NC5?

Is it possible to find Micro-USB A to USB 2.0 B-Type....For people wondering what that is...imagine pluging usb cable into printer (that's type B same as ext drive) and the micro usb A is the other end to go into phone...Would it even work?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Horgun:
Well, on my phone I had to use a power supply, an USB Y cable, and an OTG cable, do some cable modification and with that I`m now able to connect my mouse and keyboard.

[HTC One SV] loCe45:
First, to start off, I love this phone very much, but it saddens me the fact that it's listed as low activity device and therefore i consider it to be underrated.

My previous phone was Sony Xperia Live with walkman, and even though it was two classes below One SV, it had much greater modding community than One SV, and i believe that is due to compatibility with other Xperia 2011 lineup (LWW, Mini, Mini Pro, Active), i.e., more or less same hardware.

So... my question is the following, is our One SV smartphone compatible with other HTC One series phones (One V, S, X etc...) in a way that some mods/apps can be cherry-picked or just slightly modded to work on One SV?

What is necessary for app/mod to be compatible ? Resolution, Android version, Sense framework, drivers ?
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Jup, Resolution, Android version, Software/Sense version.

At least there are for sure things which can be ported, but you need somebody who knows how

and

want to do!
[HTC One SV] loCe45:
Tbh, i dont know what is needed or how the porting is done. That said, i'm willing to try out some mods from the rest of One family and if proven successful i can share them to the rest.

Since i've noticed you're The man around here, what's your best bet on which devices stuff can easily be ported, i.e. where do i look :) ? What did it take to port Sense 5 camera ?
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
There is no easy way or device. This is simply a trial and error thing. But be carefull with things for flashing, cause flashed on wrong partition can brick your device.

Sense 5 camera is simply the camera.apk from a Sense 5 system dump. But there are other things that need more files to be ported, maybe libs or other apks, not only one apk.
[HTC One SV] loCe45:
Yeah, i always keep nandroid backup around, same as titanium :)
[HTC One SV] loCe45:
This one seems to be working perfectly:

Sense5 icons mod, grabbed it from One S forum -> link

From what i've seen, it replaces hdpi images, so no risky business afaik, but nandroid cant hurt :)

When i find more time, i might cherrypick other simmilar mods and make appropriate threads in app/themes section, but until then i've posted it here for anyone interested to test it.
[HTC One SV] Matlevo12:
Thanks for that !

When i was trying to "desense" a stock rom I tried a few mods and apks replacement... Some work perfectly, some don't at all.

Since I have no idea of why it would or wouln't work, I just had to try :)

If I find any of those I tried I'll post them here.
[HTC One SV] loCe45:
Also, just to let you know (those that didnt know already), UOT kitchen works great, i've just put custom battery icons (honeycomb style) on my rom.

Not sure if it works on non-deodexed version of rom (i'm using Saturn III that is already deodexed), perhaps someone with more experience can actually clarify that.

In case you're interested, i can upload the zip file that flashes these battery icons, let me know.

[Desire HD General] glevitan:
You don't need the RUU to flash the bootloader. To unlock the bootloader you just need to update the hboot and if you are able or not with your current rom it depends on the Main Version you are running.

Regardless the above, you can try using the AAHK2 to gain S-OFF, Root, SuperCID and Sim unlock.

I agree. If Samsung would adopt more of Apple's strict procedures, they'd make a lot more.

I'd love to get off AT&T and go to T-Mobile, but I just can't live with the spotty H+/EDGE coverage. Hopefully they'll get some lower spectrum soon, because their 1700AWS frequencies can't penetrate a paper bag.
