[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] RBraverman:
Can do, but ...

I'm not worried about losing root, I'm just TRYING to sift through the 100 or so ways of doing the bits and pieces, that - put together - make a rooted MF9/Custom Recovery/WiFi Tethered S4 without a lot of scary things happening.

Now THAT is of interest. I've TWRP 2.6.0 on it, can you point me in the right direction where there are instructions on going BACK to a stock recovery?

I'm beginning to think enough - I'm fine where I am - after I add the tether MOD - the Wife's a MF9, with tether MOD to be put on it today.

How do I flash - and where IS the file - back to stock recovery in MDL?

OR do I flash this file L720VPUAMDL_L720SPTAMDL_SPR.zip which will give me a stock MDL and Recovery and THEN let the MF9 OTA update happen, CF-Root, then TWRP via GooManager, then Tether MOD?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] RBraverman:
Let me ask, what are you on?

I ask, as I have that update waiting, ( and notice your tag says you are a MDL ) but as posted above, am thinking about staying where I am, and just finish it by applying the Hotspot MOD.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Salil999:
I'm on MDL, currently using CyanogenMod. I had stock for a really long time though, and I never upgraded to MF9. I've heard countless problems and issues with it and other various mods out there. I personally think it's just easier to stay MDL. I've also heard that MF9 has a long boot time (1-2 minutes, even) whereas MDL is about 15-35 seconds.

So bottom line, I'm staying MDL (and I advise you to do too! but everything is your choice! :good:)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] RBraverman:
I basically agree. I'm beginning to hear - even from the store where I bought them, there have been problems. I got caught up in the fact that I have 2 phones (2 fer sale) and wanted them the same o I wouldn't get mixed up if I did something later on.

BUT, other then the notification - which bugs the hell out of me, it's doing everything I want it to do, so I am staying put.

PLUS, while there is a TON - probably 5 tons - of info on this site, it's a bear trying to find the right info. I can't tell you how many times I've had to ask a question that HAS been answered before, but with 10 different answers.

Thank you again.

The MIUI forums have a poll up for the next device to get official MIUI!

There is no way for me to know if the sprint variant will receive official support at the same time... It's honestly doubtful. However it could still have great benefits for miui development for sprint. Support from you guys will be very much appreciated.

http://en.miui.com/thread-6831-1-1.html

It's the s4 vs the One! Show your support and let's keep this ball rolling. :thumbup:

PM me if you need any help starting up your own kernel

Downloads for 4.3:

BionicSheep2v0.7.1_RC2

BionicSheep2v0.5.1

READ THIS PLEASE:

Everyone, sorry to disappoint but this kernel is now dead. Due to a serious serious issue with the git client, me trying to delete 1 repo caused the deletion of my kernels repo instead. There will be no builds anymore, I would have to start from scratch and I do not remember every line of code I have changed for the past 4 months.

My sincerest apologies to you guys, I am still shocked myself right now, I can't believe it did that.

I will keep downloads up for now but I doubt the kernel will work bug free into the future without keeping up with driver updates and such. If there are any GPL concerns from any mods here on xda, please let me know and I will take the links down. I had source up until it got deleted. Thanks for the help, experience, and the times guys. You made this kernel a wonderful learning experience for me. Look out for my app in the next few months guys, its my new project if git doesn't screw me on that too.

My settings:

Gov: asswax

IO: fifo

Read ahead: 1024

Voltages: (stock, I pick them in the first place :P)

GPU: 480

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] churchey420:
Would this work with pacman 4.3 rom?

---------- Post added at 09:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------

Flashed it and works fine but in my settings about phone it says kernel version unavailable. And btw this is my favorite kernel thanks for making it available for sprint :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] genaro12543:
Everything runs great just can't underckock to 270
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
what app are you using and what do you mean you can't? Did you try trickster mod?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
No problem, glad you like it. yeah don't know why kernel version did that this time
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] churchey420:
I think it's the rom I'm using idk
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] genaro12543:
Yeah I'm using trickstermod 378 is the lowest option

I'm on cm10.2 and the kernel version says unavailable as well. Doesn't affect anything obviously but just letting you know
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
Sorry its hard building for you guys without having the device. Is the overclock there?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] genaro12543:
Its not there either also the auto rotate is backwards.

I hope this doesn't discourage you those are the two most common issues with a new kernel
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] churchey420:
The overclock and underclock are fine for me it's all there just the screen rotation goes the opposite way still lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] genaro12543:
Ur using trickstermod?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] churchey420:
No but I'm using Android tweaker pro.

Don't have torch on my phone

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] genaro12543:
It fc's
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
No worries, I just figured out what this issue has been all along. I feel dumb

EDIT: new upload and its fixed, looking into rotation, thats gotta be annoying
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] genaro12543:
I know nothing of building kernels but I see the rotate issue get cleaned up pretty quickly with ported kernels so I'm sure a fix should be easy to find

Thanks for your hard work
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] churchey420:
Please comment when you get the screen rotation fixed I updated my ROM and I'm ready to put this back on but I wanna wait until its fixed lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
You gotta use sprint kernel source. The other kernels for the rest of the gs3 variants have different rotation controls than Sprint and that is why screen rotation is backwards.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
The source is all the same you just have to specify which components you want for each device. I built using the sprint defconfig so it should be fixed but for some reason it's not
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] churchey420:
Any luck on the screen rotation yet?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] churchey420:
Jw how long is the download gonna be temporarily down?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
Do you know how to use adb?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] churchey420:
Does it involve a computer I can do it if it doesn't lol or just that terminal emulator thing?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iamikon:
What do you need on adb? Logcat of the rotation?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
Can you fresh install cm 10.2 (with no kernels on top) and pull this

and pull /proc/config.gz

Then pm me a link to download what you pulled. That should help me fix rotation

Jw should I have a computer I don't have one right now but if I don't need one I can do it now just let me know
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
Yeah, I meant to do this on a computer, its cool dont worry about it. If anyone can do that command on a computer for me, and send me the resulting file, this will probably fix the rotation issues
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sean82007:
rotation workaround

There is a free app in play store called Adaptive Rotation Lock, that is a work around for this aggravating issue guys. I haven't flashed the kernel but going to in a few and if its the same rotation problems as the other kernels that have been for the gs3 then it will work for this issue as well.

Regards,

Sean
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
So I have been trying to fix the issue with the help of jamcar. I messaged some other kernel devs that got the rotation issue fixed and they say the way they fixed it is exactly how i have been doing it, so I don't know what the issue is. I promise I am still working on it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Youdoofus:
flashed the kernel, and the screen was inverted in portrait mode. Otherwise a smooth kernel
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] churchey420:
I would love too use this on my new illusion ROM lol but that screen rotation makes me not wanna use it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
I really am sorry about this guys, I am working pretty hard at getting it to work. I think I might have to start over and build an entire source tree just for the sprint device which will be a pain but I wanna fix it. Saturday is my cakeday which means I will be entitled to some piece and quiet so look for an update then.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyddr:
the inverted rotate happened to me when i accidentally flashed an ATT gs3 kernel once.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
Yeah that's because when you build for at you have to specific a different set of components to include, in this case an accelerometer. Unfortunately even when I specify the sprint source it doesn't appear to be working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
To add more confusion and mystery to this problem, the android_kernel_samsung_d2 repo (the cyanogen kernel source for all d2 devices) is forked from the MD4 kernel source posted on github, it is the unmodified MD4 kernel source from Samsung only it was moved there rather than Samsung servers.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
Okay guys, I am back, sorry I haven't been releasing for you guys but me not being able to fix the rotation issues prevented me from really working on this kernel.

There are a crap ton of updates and I really hope rotation is fixed otherwise I don't think I will fix it til I have a device on hand. Let me know

I am assuming no news means everything is running smoothly? I don't have any testers here so your guys' feedback controls the changes I make for your variant
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tpike1296:
I'll test this out.

I usually run dkp for Touchwiz, but once I get my device fixed at the Sprint store tonight (broken charger port), I'll be willing to try this out for a while and report my findings. My main concern is the governor....is asswax any good? I'm used to running freelunch or ktoonservative.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
I added freelunch a while back but it really is only meant for dkp kernel with how integrated decimalman has it in his kernel, so I removed it. If you like Ktoonservative use the conservative governor, since thats what it is based on (it runs really well). Asswax is good and so is badass. Try some out and see what you like
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tpike1296:
After trying it out, I have to say it may be the best kernel I've used. Very stable, very smooth. Great screen colors, amazing performance and battery life. I'm actually sad that I have to quit using it and go back to a pre 4.3 ROM. Very, VERY nice work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] churchey360:
You should make a bionic sheep kernel for the sprint s4 :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
Infinitely impossible without the device for me. This is my first kernel and you wouldn't believe the number of times I have made a non bootable zip file that sends me into a bootloop. I always test before releasing so I don't mess up your phones. If you wanna send me an s4 I would be more than happy to oblige however :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tpike1296:
It appears CM has updated their video drivers.

Looks like CM has updated their video drivers, so flashing BionicSheep on Carbon nightly 10/20 (Android 4.3.1) leaves a glitchy screen. Scared me quite a bit. :silly:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
Again?! Ugh, looks like I will have to update

I was always sacred I'd do that, you should write a script to backup to your new project every 24 hours or something.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
Yeah, I just sorta figured git was the backup... Unfortunately I was working on a huge list of changes and merges and I hadn't gotten it to work just yet so I had about 100 uncommitted files locally. I figured I could always git reset if I couldn't figure it out. Unfortunately now I can't git reset so I have no record of all of the changes I made, so my local files are next to useless.

Basically, all you need to do is download the latest firmware from here: http://www.asus.com/Tablets_Mobile/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF300T/#support_Download_32 .. once you have downloaded the right file (should be version 10.6.1.27.1, and either US or WW depending on where you bought your tablet.. check your box) just extract the zip file contained within it, place it on your SD card and wipe data, system, cache (including dalvik).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ouoheartbeat:
I'm not even joking, I need help ASAP...

So today I was trying to put a custom rom on my samsung galaxy s2 (Sentinel rom), and everything basically worked,but when I tried to flash the rom and I got E: Signature verification failed. Disappointed that I couldn't install it, I tried it again with the "Reboot in recovery mode" option and tried again, (I used CMW for all this btw) Same thing basically happened, and then I saw a setting something like "Install with ADB" so I clicked on it, and it wouldn't let me exit it. Basically then I took out the battery and then my samsung galaxy 2 was stuck on the boot screen, couldn't go into download mode or anything nothing worked :( Unfortunately I also can't connect it to my laptop because the microusb's I have don't fit in where they are supposed to be on the charger/microusb port :T I don't know what I can do now, so I came here asking. I hope my phone can still be saved :/ Oh and btw I did do a backup in CMW but I don't think it's much use :T

Oh I forgot to say whenever I plug in my charger the charger animation thing comes on the screen, don't know if its that good though lol...But the white part of the circle doesn't really..move..

OH OH! I managed to get it into recovery mode from that screen don't know what to do with it though so I'm gonna leave it here in case I can never get it back into it again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eskriminal:
if you're in recovery let's hope your partition tables are still intact, and then try to restore the nandroid backup you made before, in backup and restore menu

if that fails, see if you can get to download mode from the charging screen and then find a compatible cable and flash stock rom in Odin with pit included
