[Nexus 4 General] Reamer09:
This is just being overly hopeful, but that device looks larger than a 5" screen. If it's much larger than 5" I think it would start impacting their Nexus 7 sales since people might decide to just go for the Nexus 5 instead of the 7. Obviously this isn't something Google would want, so maybe, juuuusssttt maybe they'll stay far away from that idea.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
As you can see from this post Obsidian... said he will talk to hash about accepting a S4 Active to get his safe strap working. This will allow us to flash roms and multiboot different roms from our active(for more information on how this will work please go to this forum). He is currently working for this for the VZ S4 and seems to be making progress. If he is successful he will consider accepting an active to do the same. It would be cool to get him a Active so he can bug test and help us out. This will really boost the development for our device.... I write this to ask if you guys are willing to join with the community to raise money for his Active. We already have $675 towards a unlocked bootloader, this will give us most if not all the same features and will probably only cost us $400-$500. I hate to do this but below I will @ all the pledge members for the bootloader because some of them said they don't normally check the forums:

Pledges:

texassax $10

JEZZEJAMEZ $20

my-blue-snog-box $10

paleh0rse $10

skeppley $20

daugh016 $10

mnasledov $80

huggstown $100

Total = $260

Goal = $530

(this goal is based off of resent eBay auctions, if the phone costs less than the amount raised then the highest pledge amount will be reduced. Example if the highest pledge is $100 USD and we were $20 over... we would only ask for $80)

If someone wants to donate his phone to hash we can give you the pledge if needed
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] texassax:
I'm tight on money myself, but count me in for $10 anyway.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] my-blue-snog-box:
[MENTION=4315861]joshuadjohnson22[/MENTION], are you asking for a consensus as to whether people are willing to say "yeah, this fulfills the terms better than anything else we have come across; let's use the money we pledged for this"? Or are you starting another bounty independent of the bootloader?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] JEZZEJAMEZ:
I'll do 20.00 for this just to see where it goes. I'm interested as well as wanting to help better the development of the sgs4A.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
This is separate and will probably be the best we will ever get. The bootloader may never be unlocked, this will be a pre-release here's a device now work your magic type of commitment. The bootloader unlock will be nice but with this it will probably not be needed. If you want to remove one pledge for the other I understand fully.

Keep in mind he has not agreed to anything yet. We could get all the money together and he says no or just requests one of us to send him our device... or work with one of our users (the devices should be that different...), this is just to see if we have the money pledge to get him the active if he agrees
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thatbigmoose:
I think you're looking into this a little too early..

He was saying something about breaking into the device by using some of the scripts that are needed to be run for the qualcomm chipset to work early in the boot sequence. We have essentially the same ones as the S4. The only thing that would most likely need to be changed is the actual recovery that is booted because we have different LCD drivers.

If you want to buy him an Active just as a sort of "thanks" then by all means go for it but I don't think he will need one in order to complete the mod.. It may well be up to his goodwill to compile us a working version for our device if he doesn't open-source the project which is kind of doubtful here at XDA.

Once again though, I'm not a developer and just another resident idiot so take everything I say with a grain of salt.

Edit: the "resident idiot" thing isn't directed at anybody or meant to be offensive just a little joke
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] my-blue-snog-box:
Well, put me down for 10 for now. I can do at least that (maybe more if the fiance says it's okay lol)
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
Good point. It appears his team made some base roms for users that work well with the mod, it would be cool if he had some active specific support for us. Either way he may figure out that he could make a simple port for us but it would still be nice to know we have the support to provide a device if it is needed. So if it comes to that we can ship it out right away... but he is smart enough to decide if that will be needed. Either way this is exciting and I hope it works out
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] my-blue-snog-box:
I'm a "resident idiot" and proud of it!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] paleh0rse:
Just keep me posted, my donation is good for either solution... or both (I'll pay twice if someone goes on to unlock the actual bootloader, as well).
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Marvelicious75:
I've got no real intention of buying an Active at this point - I'm considering a GE S4 with an Obex, but a new phone has been moved to the back burner for now: the possibility of buying a house is priority no. 1 at the moment. I'm leaving my pledge for the bootloader, because I believe in the concept - unlocked bootloaders help us all by driving the dev community - but a workaround really isn't the same to me.

I hope that doesn't come off as sophistry, but either way, I'm not in for this one.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] skeppley:
Same here :)

Put in for $20
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Zmetta:
If it turns out that Hashcode accepts and does require an S4 Active in order to port the Safe Strap I will be happy to pledge some funds towards the cause. If Hashcode doesn't need the Active though I will increase my pledge on the original boot-loader bounty.

Please re-@ me when we find out if Hashcode decides to attempt the port and if he needs an Active in order to do so. Thanks! [MENTION=4315861]joshuadjohnson22[/MENTION]

How does a donation work? If I donate my device, do I eventually get it back? Or is it truly a donation?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
Depends on what Hash wants to do. The donation I was referring to in the post was to give him your phone and collect the bounty (Like selling you phone). But he may just want to borrow one of our devices or work with one of us *cough moose*

Well a few things with this comment:

1. If the Nexus 5 has US LTE and keeps the same price point but starts with 16 GB I'm sure it will temp many of us...

2. I am sure we will have something by the end of the year/beginning of next year (that is when the Nexus 5 is projected to be released)

3. thanks for your pledge, it has been updated :)
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mnasledov:
Money's getting tight here too but I'll throw down $40. It's totally worth being able to run alternate ROMs on this thing. It's too bad ATT did something exclusive with Samsung for this phone because it's really great.

Thanks for being brave, and risking a paperweight
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
I was not worried about that. He could have just ODIN the phone back, I was worried it would just boot to a blank screen.

I think this is a good step at least we don't have to worry about drivers

I don't know about your guys but I'm craving some GE right now
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thatbigmoose:
If hashcode gets SS running we should be able to run that 4.2.2(?) GE ROM because it's supposedly capable of running atop a stock touchwiz kernel. Fingers crossed.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] my-blue-snog-box:
I was feeling balls-y lol. I just got the USB jig that I ordered in the mail yesterday (I had made one but it came apart and for $4 for a pre-fab, I couldn't beat the price). I thought "Well, even if this messes it up bad and getting into D/L mode by button presses didn't work, I can force it with the jig".

---------- Post added at 03:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------

Let me just say this:

YOU SHOULD NOT TRY THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING

. I was lucky that I didn't mess anything up. Right now, you can't do anything with SafeStrap anyway (no ROMs are available yet); it's just a proof of concept. Wait until the bugs are worked out. My trial was just to see if/how it would work on the SGH-I537. If you want to try it anyway and you brick your phone then it's on you. Hashcode, myself, or anyone else cannot be held responsible. That being said...no progress is ever made without risks ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] texassax:
Bad ass. Can't wait until I can get rid of this fugly TW. Not used to these Sammy phones.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] :
Not trying to get off topic but this drives me absolutely crazy when I see people post stuff like this. Why would you buy a Samsung phone with TW and then complain about it? Why not buy another phone that you like from the get go. Im not going to spend money on something that I think is ugly or I don't like. Sorry again for getting off topic but comments like that just go right through me.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] texassax:
Don't get me wrong. It's certainly not a deal breaker. I loved my old Bionic in spite of how bad Motoblur used to be and I love this phone in spite of TW. I just prefer a more unaltered user experience, but that doesn't prevent me from enjoying a phone otherwise. But being able to adapt the phone to my tastes is what makes Android what it is.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mnasledov:
I pretty much bought the I537 for that express reason. Fortunately my wife is cool with the TW interface, so she gave me her M919 which was already running CM.

We'd both love to be able to put ROMs on it though :) Latest TW ROM isn't exactly a dream, it's got more issues than my M919 (TMO S4) running CM 10.2 nightlies (pretty much zero issues.)

I mean what do you have against people like us? I try to contribute back to the community too. Note I didn't just jump in and say "Gimme gimme unlock bootloader!" -- at least threw in some into the bounty pool (both of them!) and can offer my hand as a general software engineer. We're not robbing you of anything. I'm sorry that us not liking TW is somehow ruining your vibe. The hardware is beautiful and I consider it to be one of the best devices currently in existence.

Sorry to de-rail as well, but your comment kinda drove me crazy :P I can see people constantly whining being annoying, though. If you still can't see my point of view here, let's just agree to disagree.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] my-blue-snog-box:
This sentiment expresses why I love XDA: you (and I'd say a good percentage of members here do this) provided a thoughtful response rather than starting a flaming war. Sure, there are some trolls on the forums, but it's certainly one of the most civil boards I've found. I appreciate that most members recognize that we are a community working toward a common goal.

Okay, had to get that out. I'm done with the OT rant now >_<
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] wyvphone:
I would like a phone with the water resistant qualities of the S4 Active and the ROM capabilities of the Nexus series. This hopefully will get close to the latter. :highfive:
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] texassax:
to bring this side discussion back into relevancy, Hash's Safestrap will open up development on this phone. whether you love TW, hate it, or would simply prefer something different (which is the category I'd fall in, despite how I worded the post which started this topic), you'll be able to tune the Active to your tastes, and that excites me.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
or dual boot both :P I will use one until I get bored then I will boot to the other
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] :

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mnasledov:
Really looking forward to this. Found out the software on the I537 is not associating with my TMO Cel-Fi and thus getting horrendous indoor cell performance (dropping calls like mad)

I think that maybe having a TMO TW ROM would help, at least one with Wifi Calling would work.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] uvbeenzaned:
If I were to decide to donate towards this, which one would be best to add my pledge to, this thread or the Bounty thread for Bootloader unlock?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
Depends on what you want to support. This thread is to get the developer a S4 Active to advance support, bug fix and so on. It will only be done IF he says it is ok, he may just work with us. The bootloader unlock is still to crack the bootloader...
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] uvbeenzaned:
I am leaning more towards a real bootloader crack right now. If this gets done first ya know, I may put it here.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mnasledov:
Sorry for another OT post, but for those suffering apparently bad radio issues with I537 on TMO, you MUST FULLY AWS unlock your phone. This means regular SIM unlock code from ATT wont be sufficient. It'll be sufficient for Edge and LTE but because ATT shares LTE frequencies with TMO's HSPA band, the phone must have the radio switched to enable use of LTE and HSPA on these frequencies.

I followed this guide, requires Windows unfortunately since it uses special Samsung and Qualcomm software. Works like a breeze!

http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-t...aws-bands-on-att-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337sgh-i337m/

tl;dr: No root required. You put your phone in a special modem USB state, use the special Samsung drivers to get COM ports, use the QPST software to make a backup of your radio data (QCN), then overwrite it with an I337/I337M one that's been tweaked to unlock the special HSPA stuff.

Verified working by I537 owners previously and now verified working here.

Now my wife can make/receive calls/texts easily here as it's talking to the Cel-Fi repeater :)
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mnasledov:
Used Windows 7 on my wife's laptop. Followed the instructions in the guide verbatim except for one thing:

The UMMS code I dialed to switch the USB over to the modem was *#0808# -- if you search for "I537" on that page, you'll find someone's comment that mentions this. I'll see if I can write up a guide for getting the I537 later -- it wouldn't be much of a guide except say to use that code and use the other guide.

I'm trying to unlock the extended rom on my MDA Compact. I've downloaded extrom tools, but whenever I try anything, I get an error saying 'FL_IOCTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION'. Is there some sort of hardware jumper perhaps stopping me from unlocking the extended rom?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] kennedy_com:
hello!

ur MDA compact is it same with xda2 mini ???
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Dandie:
What exactly do you mean with unlocking? If you only want to see the contents of the Ext_Rom, you have to do a hard reset and, before adjusting the Touchscreen, a soft reset. After the reboot you should be able to see the files. This might not work for newer Roms. Another possibility would be to use the Vdisk program. Search here in the forum.

If you want to write onto your Ext_Rom, meaning to free its space for additional storage (the files saved in the Ext_Rom will be deleted by this procedure - as I remember also the content of your storage), you have to follow this link

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Dandie:
Did you read the posts in the link I referred to? There's information about how to make the Ext_Rom writable. Is that what you mean?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Echilon:
Thanks for the link, but I don't want to downgrade just to unlock it. I was thinking I could just delete all of the automatic T-Mobile customization.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Dandie:
Downgrade to unlock it? What do you mean? You can patch every Rom version to the BigStorage one, making the storage of the Ext_Rom writable. If you only want to get rid of the branding and automatic installation of the provider specific software, you have to make a HardReset and, right after the touchscreen calibration, a soft reset. That removes all branding and you can see the Ext_Rom in your file browser.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 309041291a:
Long story short, upgraded to 4.3 (not stock) and noticed my phone was at 3% in the morning despite being plugged in.

Checked to see if the charger was messed, it wasn't (worked with another phone and it displays a blue light while plugged in). Even so, I tried another charger. Plugged that in the wall and tried different sockets, nothing.

Called Google, said I might need a replacement, I don't really want to go through that... I'd have to transfer warranty, etc.

They also ,mentioned blowing into the charging port, so I did. The phone started to charge for 3-5 seconds, and then it stopped again. So I decided to plug it into my laptop and it began charging...

I don't want to have to rely on USB to charge my phone and the replacement is my kind of last resort, so what do you guys think I can do to fix my faulty port?

Does not sound like hardware issue to me. You're saying that it charges through a PC's USB and not when using AC charger. Don't both charging methods use the same micro-usb from the phone? You can try things like restarting, flashing the factory image, shutting off.
