does anyone know if there is a different MF3 kernel modules beside the one in the OP. I posted before the problem I have with all roms a have tried with safestrap (I cant skip track when I connect the phone with bluetooth to a Speaker or Car and use the remote control (speaker) or the control in the steering wheel of the car, but I can do it with the stock rom).

So I want to try a different module if there is any.

Per the dev thread uninstall vi apk doesn't work and requires the manual process with adb - RTBP, SE, TB, etc probably won't do the job correctly. Since you are going to re-install the app right away it may not matter, though. I've moved away from a MF3 phone and don't have safestrap installed anymore, so hopefully someone can chime in here.

Why are you pointing him to Verizon Roms?

Yes they *should* work but you have to adjust APN settings.

I'm sure you are just being helpful but Roms that work "out of box" will likely help him be successful on his first attempt.

Seeing the guy is new and having a hard time following what Roms are confirmed working in the OP, why would you point him to Roms that need to have APN settings changed? His next posts will be "I flashed my phone. Everything is working but I can't text or make calls".

rithvik,

You should probably do some more reading before playing with this stuff. Not trying to be rude but you can break your phone if you do certain things in SS. By spending a day or two reading up on this stuff you will learn what to do and what not to do. You will also learn what others have done that have made them visit their local Best Buy to have their phones fixed. Part of the rules are to read all the stickies before posting. Questions and information about flashing your phone have already been documented/answered.

After you read through this thread, head over to the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development section (not the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Development section) and look around. Find the SS Development thread and read through that as well.

Here are some more in depth instructions for how to install a Rom with SS.

Here are a few that I have tried and work out of the box (no additional steps are required after flashing).

I understand your frustration. However, the more unfriendly these forum become, the more people will just quit using them. One of the rules on this site is not to flame other users, but in your "tirade" I fear that you are coming very close to that yourself. I think this site is amazing. I am one of the few that does read before posting or trying things that can brick my phone. Mainly because I have made a mistake of not taking advice and learning the hard way. All you can do is put the info out there and hope for the best. If people ask questions that are answered many times, then just ignore their posts. Eventually they will get sick of waiting for an answer and start searching themselves.

You can't fix laziness no matter how hard you try. I have learned that first hand with my kids. No matter how many times you warn them, they will still try it until they get burned themselves. The same goes for people posting on these threads.

Please try and remain calm for the sake of keeping this site a friendly place to come for information and advice:)

SS uninstall recovery

Hi,

Something interesting happened. I was going to try to uninstall SS again with my Macbook. I went into SS. I hit uninstall recovery. It uninstalled it but the SS state still says Installed. Now, when I reboot. The SS icon is consistently there before my regular ROM icon. I"m thinking of testing it by going into recovery and making a rom slot and installing something.

I'm still v3.62. I have time to work with it. Since I'm off today. What do you think?

For those of you having the issue of Safestrap seeming to disappear and booting you back to your stock ROM, try this.

In your stock ROM, open up the SS app.

Click the uninstall button.

(just do it)

When it is finished, hit the install button.

Reboot.

when I reboot my phone my lockscreen says 'roaming indicator off' and my icon at the top is just a grey triangle with no service. in system settings under wireless & networks access points is missing and there are no apn settings or an option to add any. I can receive txts but not send them and I can make/receive calls. this started happening yesterday with every gpe rom that I've already tested and not had this problem with.. I haven't upgraded safestrap or changed the way I've been flashing roms. my stock rom still works fine, not an issue on there. I always delete rom slots and recreate them and I've done this with 3 or 4 different gpe roms today and am still having the problem.

I've wiped the caches and wiped the slot to factory reset however the problem persists. Any ideas? Or any other information I can provide you guys to help me out?

Update

Hi,

I followed Graydiggy's direction. I'm installing Wicked. Quick question. I hope. When they say 1st boot takes longer. Let the phone sit for 5 mins then reboot and enjoy. I should:

1. Hit the 1st reboot after initial install

2. Wait 5 minutes until the phone boots up by itself.

3. Reboot the phone again before configuring it.

not sure on that, just read this thread. its all in the OP

yes but if you have mf3 you dont want to touch the stock slot by any means or you will be going to a best buy (Samsung service center) to fix your phone.

the roms that you can flash are TW base ONLY.

do you have the mf3 module files, if not put them on your SD card, i got a 32gb and have all my files on there for roms

here are the steps to flash roms, create rom slot (1-4)---instill your rom to that slot along with the mf3 module files. then enjoy using your rom

Also, tried downloading 8.2 zip directly on the phone to the external SD and installing on PC then moving it to external SD, and still no change.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] 78Staff:
Anything you do in recovery will affect the selected slot only. So if you have slot 1 selected you can do a factory reset (you said restore, but I think you mean reset, right?) and it will affect that slot.

Or, you could just delete and recreate the slot. that's what I would do, personally.

Does anyone know how to use Tasker really well? I'm trying to use a Verizon ROM (TouchWiz Eclipse), and I want to see if I can make the phone turn off LTE whenever I open a texting app. It seems the main issue we have when trying to use VZW ROMs is not being able to text while on LTE, and I was hoping using Tasker could be a work-around.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] strykme:
I'm not an expert, but been using tasker for a while. Your question is fairly strait forward

Create a new profile - application and choose your texting app. Create a new task, Net - mobile data and set it to off.

Save it, then you would want to add an exit task that turns LTE back on when you exit your texting app.

I suppose now that international versions are getting their 4.3 updates it is a good time to address our ability to run these roms. Obviously since we are unable to use KT's 4.3 TW with SS, is there a chance at all of using a 4.3 TW Rom when Samsung releases the kernel source? Will we just have to wait and see if kexec is a possibility? I'm sure it's too early to know either of these things for sure, just thought I'd get the conversation started.
