Still having the exact same issue... Was really hoping the new update would fix it.

Anyone else have any suggestions?

And for those who have 0 issues how much internal storage does your phone show?

R13 --> 14, unlocked, now boots to download mode

I'm at a loss for what's going on with my phone. I've been searching the threads for more info and so far, this is what I know.

I have been unlocked from the start. I boot into Clockwork, flash my ROMs, etc., no problem. I was on R13 and dirty flashed to 14 this morning. On reboot from this flash, I am greeted with what I think is the download screen: yellow triangle, warning about custom ROMs, volume up to continue, etc. The only way out of this is to hold volume-up and power, release power when the phone restarts, and then the phone boots into safe mode. I cannot get to the recovery using hardware keys like normal.

I read that you can get out of the safe-mode stuff by powering down, pulling the battery, and then starting up again. This does not work because I enter download mode again, which then forces me into safe mode as described above.

So back to safe mode I go. I can use the Hyperdrive tweaks > tools menu to hot-reboot and occasionally (I don't know why) I can reboot into a fully functional phone, but most of the time, back to safe-mode. This is the only way to see if I am on and Official device because the Safe Mode note obscures this item in the status screen. Good news, I guess, is that my device is official.

Now I'm looking at the baseband from the About screen and it says I'm on ME7. Is this a problem? If I understand things, the ROM install does not touch the bootloader so I should still be on whatever bootloader I was in order to be fully unlocked. I don't know how/where to check this but I can reboot into Clockwork recovery from the Hyperdrive tweaks > tools menu. From here I've tried flashing to R13 again but the same issue persists. I tried TriangleAway, which I have only run for informational purposes; I have not executed the fix. From the app, it says my flash count is zero and, again, I'm official.

What next? I don't know but I don't want to brick this thing. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] douger1957:
Did you flash the ME7 modules after you installed the ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] A Friend of Beer:
I did not. The only reference to modules I see is under the Locked phone section, which states flashing Modules.zip from Safe Strap thread. Am I to infer that I now require Safe Strap? How could this happen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
You probably flashed the ME7 modem before, that's what shows up under baseband. If you have anything other than Safestrap for a recovery then your bootloader is MDK. I would say flash the full wipe MDK tar in Odin then get a recovery and get back to flashing.

---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ----------

If you read, he's not on Safestrap. Even if he was on Safestrap with ME7 that means he would be on 4.2.2 and unable to flash a 4.3 rom such as RLS14.

Don't pay attention to that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kamunist:
Posted this over in the dev thread by mistake (sorry for duplicate):

So I'm having a bit of a problem booting after flashing the ROM. I'm on MDK using TWRP 2.6.3.1.

I initially dirty-flashed over RLS13 which worked alright. But I decided to start fresh so I updated my radio to MK2, and then clean flashed (in TWRP) stock root deodexed MK2. Now I have tried to clean flash RLS14 four times and I cannot get it to boot. I go through the aroma install, it starts the reboot, then sits at the Samsung screen indefinitely with Samsung logo doing the pulsing blue thing. I let it sit for at least 20 minutes each try, but still no luck. I downloaded the ROM again to make sure it wasn't corrupted, didn't help. If I battery pull then I can get back to recovery no problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Did the MD5 check out on the first download? That will tell you if it is corrupt or not.

Which file did you flash to update your radio? I doubt it's a problem if the S/R/dO MK2 booted but just want to make sure.

Also, never had this problem on Hyperdrive but I have on some other ROM's, sometimes it won't boot from Aroma but it will boot if you boot from recovery. You could try this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kamunist:
I didn't check the MD5 on the first download because I was lazy. I checked it on the new download and it matches fine.

I flashed the radio from here, from the "modems only" section - I545VRUEMK2. As you said though, the stock rooted deodexed MK2 worked just fine

I'll give the other reboot method a shot and update in a few minutes
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Yeah but you didn't flash the NON-HLOS one right?

And hope it works, I'm looking for some answers right now but that's all I can come up with off the top of my head.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kamunist:
Correct, I only flashed the standard one, NOT the "NON-HLOS" one. It was the one under the "modems only" section called I545VRUEMK2_modem.zip
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Gotya OK so the only other thing I can guess is that the newer TWRPs seem to give people problems. TWRP 2.5.0.2 seems to be the most stable for our phones, you can also try something CWM based like Philz Touch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kamunist:
No dice on the alternate reboot after flashing...

I decided to update to latest TWRP since I was seeing the fix permissions message when rebooting out of recovery. Is there a particular way I should go about getting the Philz Touch recovery instead?

Thanks much for your help thus far
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2322675

Here's the thread for Philz. IDK how familiar you are with CWM but the layout sucks compared to TWRP. I only use it because it's never given me a problem on this phone unlike TWRP. Team Win doesn't really pay attention to our device since we have such a ridiculously small amount of users that can even run their recovery.

Oh and you just flash the zip in recovery, no need to wipe anything. Then power off and boot into recovery and you'll have Philz.

RLS14

So just doing my backups prior to loading 14! Can't wait. Always good to have some new Hyperdrive love.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FrankyFiggs:
When I need to update the ROM using safe strap do I install in ROM slot 1 ( where I have the current hyperdrive ROM running) or create a new one? I tried to create a new one but it says I don't have anymore room to do so. I'm new to safestrap and not sure how to do it. Please help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] douger1957:
Wipe as per the instructions in the ROM's thread then install it over the old one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
Out of curiosity wats on ur stock rom slot? I'm not telling u to do this cause the dev hashcode will not help u if u mess up ur device. The reason I ask is I have flashed HD14 on my stock rom slot. I made a backup of the stock rom in the stock rom slot. That way I have all my space. When a new HD is released I just make a backup of my current rom and flash right over in Stock slot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] douger1957:
That's what I did. I figured that if I had to return the phone to stock I'd be wiping it anyway so I have a copy of the .tar file on my computer to do the deed with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
Yep same here. So I wasn't worried about flashing in Stock rom slot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] douger1957:
And I have 7.5 gigs free on the internal memory. Being able to partition another slot is nice if you want to dual boot. I do not.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kamunist:
Somebody replied in the other thread that they had the same issue and has to Odin the stock MDK image and start from scratch. I eventually had to do this as well. I should have just gone with Philz from the start, oh well... lessons learned and all. I'm on Philz now, hopefully no more issues! Thanks for all your help with this

My stock ROM slot is just that, what I had before I installed hyperdrive in ROM slot 1. So I can flash rls14 over stock ROM slot??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] memassuc:
Here is an update:

I have solved the issue, but I am not quite sure what solved it considering I am still having the lower internal storage issues.

I ended up using ODIN to return my phone to stock VRUEMK2 rom, I then rerooted using saferoot, and put safestrap back on it. I then made a new rom slot and installed Hyperdrive RLS14 with no problems. I then checked the storage and saw that my storage still only had about 3GB available. I installed Spotify hoping it might still work and it did.

My guess is that the Spotify odex file Raymond was talking about on page 101 (quoting is hard sometimes) was located in a non-traditional location. Thanks for the help Raymond and hopefully this helps anyone experiencing similar issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
Yes u could do that. Make a backup of ur stock slot and save it on ur sdcard. That way if anything goes wrong u can boot into recovery and flash ur stock rom back to stock slot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] douger1957:
When I was on RLS 13, Google Now appeared to be "live," that is, all I needed to do was say "OK Google" and it would open. The widget also appeared to be pinned to each page.

I selected the Note 3 launcher when I installed RLS 14 and the "live" part of Google Now does not appear to function. Is that a limitation of the Note 3 launcher or is there a setting that I'm missing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
I never tried the s4 launcher but it hasn't been working for me on the note 3 launcher unless I open up the Google now app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] A Friend of Beer:
Alright, I think I'm out of options. I've tried a full wipe then clean install. No dice. I've installed a new recovery and tried the same stuff: restore a backup, clean install, clean install + restore backup. It's a bit of a precarious situation. I can only get into recovery from reboot options in the ROM so if I can't boot to Android, I'm screwed.

I was going to Odin MDK but it turns out I can't get to the download mode. The screen I keep getting stuck at is the warning screen that asks for volume-up to enter download mode, volume-down to restart. My buttons are not responsive at this screen so I can't even get into download mode. Same situation if I reboot to download from Hyperdrive > tools. This is jacked. So weird that this happened at all. How may ROMs and phones I've done this on...

I haven't been able to find a flashable zip with the MDK bootloader or a straight up stock MDK ROM that I can flash from recovery. Running out of ideas. I think next I'll try to restore my R10.1 backup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
[MENTION=4939386]Surge1223[/MENTION] Any ideas?

On past Samsung devices I've seen that holding in the buttons for download mode (vol up, power, home) while pulling the battery out then putting it back in will work. Or holding the buttons while plugging it into a computer. I've personally never had your issue or seen the screen that you're talking about so it's a little hard to troubleshoot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] A Friend of Beer:
FYI, this is the screen I get stuck at (borrowed from this link):
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Normally you can go straight to download mode (where the screen will say "Downloading.....") by opening terminal and typing

su
reboot download

Did you try that?

RLS 14 Minor Bug: Desktop Visualizer / DVR Direct Call

I installed RLS 14 the other day and there is an app/widget combo that doesn't seem to work with it: Desktop Visualizer and its companion widget DVR Direct Call.

Oddly this duo works fine in RLS 12. (They did not work with 13).

The bug is that the oversized widgets / shortcuts that these apps create do appear on the desktop but no in the various oversized formats (2 x 1, 3x1, 3 x 2, etc. Not a major issue but perhaps something that can be addressed when any real problems are all resolved.

Desktop Visual is Version 1.4.5 by Bii, Inc. Available in the Play Store

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] A Friend of Beer:
I think I have a hardware problem. My guess is that just like I can get the phone to hot reboot on occasion out of safe mode, I managed to get the phone into download mode JUST ONCE. I then Odin'd the MDK full wipe and rebooted. The same issue persists, but now I am fully stock. I tried a hundred more times to get into download mode in order to proceed with rooting this POS but have had no success. The next step, it seems, is to give this back to Verizon (if they'll take it...bought it off Swappa) and lose my MDK phone (Which I now refer to as Murder Death Kill, if you know your Wesley Snipes films :) ).

Thanks, everyone, for the input.

I'm on 14 and I must say I am loving It. Just waiting on my paycheck. Now the only question I have is about the white theme.

Location toggles make my mind boggle

Howdy! Long time user, first time poster :P

I was curious if there is a way to separate the GPS and Verizon location gathering toggle? I know they used to be separate (GPS, Verizon & Wireless) back in the last 4.2.2 rom I used and I've seen them sectioned off into a (GPS) & (Wireless/mobile network) toggles on 4.3 roms. Is there a mod I can use to regain this capability? or is there something preventing this now that I'm unaware of?

I've scoured the thread but found no info on this change.

Wouldn't it also be a simple way to conserve on battery but still get accurate location data if they were setup as I previously mentioned?

Much thanks if you can help this trickster continue to confound his friends by 'magically appearing' in the strangest of places :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sbreen94:
Have you looked in the location section of the settings menu?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jamigo:
Yes, I'm sorry I was not more specific. The 'Wifi & mobile network' are still toggled together. I meant to specify that the GPS & 'Verizon location services' are tied together in the current release. In the past the former was separated from the latter. Giving a total of 3 location toggles. So if I wanted to Only have GPS location data turned on I could. TBH I'm not exactly sure what the Verizon location data actually IS, but I know its doing something to attempt to correct 'intentionally altered' GPS data.

I hope this makes some kind of sense, been a long day..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtherrell:
They are combined into a single checkbox in the location section. I think that's what he was asking about. Used to be separate checkboxes.

Hi, I've been lurking for a while and finally decided to try flashing a rom to my S4. I'm running safestrap on an I337 with MK2 firmware. Whenever I try to flash Hyperdrive I get this message in the log

I'm flashing after a full factory reset and I've tried flashing the mk2 modules zip afterwords but after the reboot it just bootloops. I followed the instructions to the letter as far as I can tell, any idea how to resolve this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdash2012:
No Kernel

Just continue with the installation and install the compatibility pack for your device, it will have the proper kernel for it, afterwards you can always flash a custom kernel. It's this way because this rom is primarily made for verizon sgs4 and that kernel won't work with tmo or att:cowboy:

After installing rls14 to my s4 i download the new amazon mp3 from play store it will not sign in. I tried an older apk of it and works fine. Anyone have any ideas of what causes that?

Having trouble getting Titanium backup pro to restore apps. They just crash when I restore them, with app data or not.

Hyperdrive Galaxy s4 Verizon Wifi Problem.

I've been looking all over the internet for the answer to my problem but so far have only seen people ask the same question with no definitive answer yet. If it had been answered already I'm sorry for asking the same question and would appreciate a link or explanation to my problem

I’m having a problem connecting to the wifi after I download the hyperdrive ROM. Every time I click on the wifi it just switches right back off. I have downloaded and flashed the modules for my phone and tried all different methods of flashing it which included flashing the module right after the ROM installed then rebooted, tried flashing them together then rebooted, and others and it still does not work.

I’m on a Verizon galaxy s4, had mk2, and used hyperdrive rls14 and it didn’t work. After I unrooted and rooted my phone to see if that would work I somehow ended up with mj7. I tried going through the same process but still the wifi did not work. I am using safestrap to install everything and even tried installing rls10 but still no luck.

Everything else on Hyperdrive works properly but without the ability to use wifi I’ve just had to go back to using my stock rom and really just want to know how to fix it so I can use the amazing abilities of hyperdrive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] douger1957:
I did not have any luck flashing the modules together with the ROM. I flashed the modules after the ten minute "cooling off" period per the installation instructions.

I don't know how your build could have changed. The standard advice applies. Odin your phone back to MK2 per the thread in the development section, reroot, and reinstall Safestrap. Check your build before you install HD and flash the appropriate modules when you're done.

You may be able to simply flash the MJ7 modules, but that's not something I'm qualified to advise.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] erjavecsj:
I am familiar with the cooling off period but just to clarify after I install the ROM and it says wait for the cooling period, do I just leave my phone for ten minutes, then install the module, then reboot or after I install the ROM do I reboot, wait ten minutes, go back into recovery and flash. My guess is with the former but I just want to make sure.

Been running my phone on HD since 5.7. With no issue. Past 2 releases I get alot of random lockups and reboots. Im on rls 14 mdk currently.

You flash the modules immediately after flashing the ROM and before leaving recovery. After that you can let your device sit for ten minutes while waiting for it to boot.
