[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] l33t_killa:
Before I get jumped, YES, I did do countless readings to the point of going blind with information overload! Rooting phone was a confirmed success after the OTA update, and I did not do any bootloader roms, but now I can't get pass the download screen while booting up the phone. When I was trying to boot into recovery mode after I did a few quick restarts in a row after rooting phone, to install a debloater .zip, it came to this screen only (see screenshot), quickly (Samsung logo comes up before with the blue corner text) before this, and it's all that it does now. I think I might have pulled the battery a couple times when I saw the first image, my dumbass fault, as a quick power button push wasn't doing anything to reboot. Thinking it's a soft brick as this screen is the only thing that keeps coming up after Samsung Logo with no unlock/lock symbol, when I try to reboot the phone in various ways. I know I can't use Odin to reflash back to stock MDL after the June OTA update, as I tried with no luck came up failed like I knew it would. Plug in via usb to computer, PC doesn't recognize it, so I can't check / access anything on the phone. Pulling straws here. Just looking to get her back to normal

UPDATE

Plugged stock USB cable/Phone in another USB slot, Odin picked it up (See pics), of course I can't downgrade to MDL from MF3.... failure.

You tried to install a custom recovery from what you are describing, yet not really saying.

You wanted to flash a debloat zip... How would one go about doing that? A custom recovery. Unfortunately, there is none for the MF3 update. The only way you would be in this situation is by trying to flash one. So... You're screwed.

If it doesn't work i would say you screwed yourself.

Maybe when you "read yourself blind" you missed the Numerous warnings throughout the MF3 root thread and the rest of the forum about MF3 not being able to use custom recoveries or flashing anything?

Good luck.

MF3 Nandroid Backup

I was able to get a full Nandroid Backup for AT&T S4 with the MF# firmware using an app called OBackup. Im not real sure if any of the files would be helpful to those stuck after trying to install a custom recovery. I think if you could get into download mode and in Odin, these .tar files might be helpful.

Are there any TouchWiz based roms with unlocked USB tethering? All the ones I'm finding/trying are all locked out and need subscription. The old ROM I used to use "Lean Mean Jelly Bean" had it unlocked but I can't find anything newer. Wifi tethering is not an option because of where I work they scan for wifi access points.
[Shield Q&A] Trooper_Max:
I was a little overeager and unlocked my shield before looking to see if there was anything useful on the user data partition and of course unlocking wipes user data.

I sincerely doubt it, but was just curious now that I lost the ability to look - was there anything on the user data partition in the stock image?

I didn't flash any partitions but after unlocking did backups of all my partitions, then booted my SHIELD back up and it actually still did the OTA update even though I have the bootloader unlocked. Now I've started installing some of the games I already own and downloading their content... which could take a while...

Look forward to playing with this device!

~Troop
[Shield Q&A] Gnurou:
The user data partition only contains whichever apps you added to your device, your settings, and the contents of /sdcard. It doesn't come pre-bundled, so you probably haven't lost anything here.

Unlocking the bootloader doesn't interfere with OTAs, you will always receive OTAs if you stay with the stock ROM (even if you are rooted, although you will likely need to root again after each OTA).
[Shield Q&A] Trooper_Max:
Ah yeah, thanks - that was my main concern if anything had come pre-bundled that I would miss. I thought on some devices unlocking disables OTAs - good to know that's not the case here.

~Troop
[Shield Q&A] themichael:
Thought I would have to root again after I took the OTA but it wasn't the case. Nvidia is doing it right :)
[Shield Q&A] Evo_Shift:
Update 51 should have wiped out root. If it didn't something didn't update right for you. That update was 400+MB in size and I believe completely wiped out /system.

I had to manually check for update 51 though in About SHIELD>System updates.
[Shield Q&A] themichael:
I did the update through CWM as opposed to the stock recovery. dont know if that makes a difference as far as keeping root but my shield is updated and I still have root.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] zman0900:
I have built a flashable zip to replace the kernel in your recovery image with one that supports USB-OTG. I have repacked the TWRP 2.6.0.0 recovery image with a different kernel that enables the use of USB-OTG when booted to recovery. The kernel is taken from Ziddey's patch for externally powered usb-otg and is a modified version of Franko's kernel. See that thread for more info on the kernel. (Note that this won't change the kernel used in your rom, only within TWRP).

Currently, TWRP is the only recovery I know of that supports USB-OTG. So while you can probably run this without problems on other recoveries, it like won't do anything useful either.

I didn't actually develop anything here other than the script in the zip. I just used unpackbootimg to extract the kernel from ziddey's boot.img and extract the ramdisk from twrp's recovery.img the recovery installed on your phone, then build a new recovery image using those parts with mkbootimg.

This will not work with a standard, unpowered OTG cable!

Try this at your own risk. It works for me, but I am not responsible if anything goes wrong.

​

Requirements

An unlocked Nexus 4 (with TWRP installed)

A USB OTG Y-cable. It should have a female regular USB, and both female and male micro-USB.

Flash Drive (As of TWRP 2.6.3.0, FAT, exFat, and ext4 format worked, ntfs and f2fs didn't)

Micro-USB power source (charger, battery, tiny gasoline generator, solar panels, finely tuned potatoes, etc)

Changes

2013-10-05

Complete rebuild to do the work of replacing the kernel on your phone so I don't have to update every time TWRP does.

Updated to Ziddey's kernel 2013.10.01 1954ET r188 for JSS/JLS

2013-09-19

Original release

Installation (zip method)

Download the zip file to your phone

Boot into your phone's recovery (CWM / TWRP)

Flash the zip

Reboot to recovery

Repeat these steps after upgrading your recovery image.

Use

Boot into recovery

Connect flash drive and charger to OTG Y-cable.

Connect Y-cable to phone.

You should now be about to mount USB-OTG, select it for backup/restore, browse it with file manager, etc

This is great! Thanks. :good:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ziddey:
Hah, awesome thinking! I had foolishly assumed the recovery used a stripped down kernel.

I see you used the JSS kernel. Good to know it works with twrp 2.6.0.0. Have you considered a sort of "anyrecovery" implementation? So long as the recovery in question supports otg properly (can't remember if cwm even had the option), it should work. Worst case, the user will have to flash a known good recovery via fastboot or android (say goomanager).

Sorry you didn't even make it one post before some goon decided to quote the first post :p

Good thinking :good:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zman0900:
I've never actually used CWM on this phone and haven't used it on any device for about a year, so I don't know if they even support OTG. If they do, I can add in the kernel and it should probably work.

I thought about the "AnyRecovery" idea. Its definitely possible since I actually did all the work on the phone over adb just because I didn't feel like finding the code for unpackbootimg and mkbootimg to compile for x86. If CWM supports OTG, I may do it, otherwise it will probably just cause confusion. Thanks for your work on the kernel by the way.

EDIT: As far as I can tell, CWM does not support OTG. Does anyone know of any other recovery that has support? I may make the AnyRecovery thing anyways just to support future version of TWRP, but I'll probably wait until the next version of TWRP or ziddey's kernel is ready.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sillik:
Well this is awesome! Thanks for the good job...

However, does this have the issue found on regular TWRP 2.6.0.0 where you can't move your backup afterwards?

Also, it is easy to test making a backup, but has someone tried restoring from a backup? I wouldn't want to notice it doesn't work when I really need it! :)

[Nexus 4 Android Development] ritchea:
The mod seems to work on 2.6.1.0.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zman0900:
I'll put something together soon.

This completely overwrites the recovery partition, so flashing it will put you back at 2.6.0.0. I plan to make the next version only flash the kernel to whatever recovery you have installed.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ritchea:
Thanks for the info. No wonder it appears to work.:laugh:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ziddey:
Crosspost:

I made a sort of "any-any" recovery mod: recoverymod.zip

It replaces the recovery's kernel with the boot kernel. Flashing this after the main OTG patch will therefore also apply the OTG-enabled kernel to the recovery. From there, it's up to the recovery to "natively" support usb devices. TWRP does. For any that don't, you'll have to manually mount partitions via adb.

Do understand what you're getting into-- if recovery for some reason fails to load, you'll have to be capable of reflashing it, be it via fastboot, goomanager, or however else.

I've tested this with TWRP 2.6.1.0.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] xcooper:
could you give more detail how to flash the recoverymod.zip ? I flashed the new TWRP image for mako v2.6.1.0 and v2.6.1.1. Boot into to recovery mode then flash the recoverymod.zip file. The OTG in TWRP did not work. Flashed back to zman0900's v2.6.0.0.

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ziddey:
Ah, it was a crosspost from my OTG thread. It depends on you having my otg patch installed since it merely copies the boot kernel to the recovery kernel.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] xcooper:
Thanks. I see. it works now. I patch the OTG mod in kernel, then flash the recoverymod.zip to replace the kernel in TWRP. It works for TWRP 2.6.1.1 too.

Just clear this out for me...are these the right steps...?

Finally made that AnyRecovery thing

Good news everybody!

I finally had some time to update this. If you're already using Ziddey's stuff to enable USB-OTG in your rom, then his Any-Any method above will work just a well for you, but if your like me and only care about USB-OTG for backups in recovery, this is for you. See the OP for more info, but basically this will replace the kernel of whatever recovery you currently have installed with one the one that is included in the zip, which should enable OTG support in TWRP and probably do nothing (or maybe blow up) in other recoveries.

Sorry this took so long. I finally got a real, paid development job :victory: so I haven't had as much time for messing around with my phone.
