The Root explorer (AKA r/w mounting of /) in ES File Manager ...

I tested ES File Manager, Root Browser, File Manager (Explorer) (by NextApps) and Root Explorer (by Speed Software) and Root Explorer (by Speed Software) does successfully allow mounting r/w of the root(/) system and lets you make changes. There is a mount r/w button on each screen. Just successfully changed optcerts.zip in .etc/security to optcerts.bak (cause my phone is trying to force push an update today at 6:00am eastern) - on MJ7 now

FYI: to stop OTA (Over The Air) Updates and stay on MJ7:

Frozen via Titanium Backup: FWUpgrade.apk and SDM.apk

Renamed file: /system/app/ wssyncmlnps.apk to wssyncmlnps.apk.bak

what version of SS did you flash and what ROM are you using? Need more info...you are aware of having to flash kernel patch to restore wifi right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Arsenic1234:
Woke up to my phone saying there is an update from samsung and verizon.

Assuming I should avoid this like the plague?

I haven't rooted yet (is snowing so was going to do today).

And I don't want to botch up my chance to be able to....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
That depends on what baseband you're currently running. If you're on MJ7, it's the MK2 update, which appears harmless, AND it allows you to flash back to MJ7 if you want to. Saferoot works on either baseband.

If it's anything earlier than MJ7, then you probably don't want to take the update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djmcho:
Like the plague is right. The older the firmware the better for the Verizon Galaxy S4. Do not update. See my post about 3 replies back on how to stop OTA updates. Curious, what firmware are you on now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Arsenic1234:
I am on MJ7, so if its the MK2 I guess doesn't matter like a post earlier said?

I plan to just root today and stop this nonsense ;)

So take it, or don't bother, does it matter?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Wi1son:
I assume I'll have to update at least to MJ7 to install the new SS and a 4.3 ROM. What is the best way to update from ME7 to MJ7 - with Odin?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swc2001:
Now when (if) Hash gets the SS working 100% then you would want to take the update(s) unless you are an MDK user right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
that is one way of doing it except if you tampered with any of the stock apks....to take OTAs the phone must look like its all stock. You could odin the stock ME7 or MI1 image and then let OTAs do its thing. You could possibly do the verizon repair to your phone and last way could probably odin stock MJ7 or MDK2 image? I'm not sure on that. Many of us are sitting on ME7 and we will be faced with how to get to MJ7/MDK2 pretty soon.....I'm just waiting to see how hash progresses before I worry too much on my next step.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] t0adman:
Thanks for this post. I'm sitting on ME7 too and wondering what my next move should/can be.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
I'm thinking when the time comes, the "No Wipe" to MJ7 from ME7 then possibly let MJ7 update IF there is a kernel module produced for the latest update. :highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swc2001:
I definitely agree! I am sitting on ME7 till SS is fully operational if it becomes so..... if not I will just sit on 4.2.2

I hope there will be a no wipe odin way to go from ME7 to MJ7 & MK2 when the time comes.... I think there may be but I am not sure.

shoot the only reason I want MJ7 or MK2 is the "open GL ES 3.0" support..... if someone could make that flashable.... I might never upgrade..... unless kit kat comes along..... I wonder if it will?

---------- Post added at 11:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 AM ----------

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Beastmode:
Got a log? I can help out and fix it while hash does his thing with SS :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
If and when we have the next upgrade of safestrap, we should establish a dedicated thread with all the links for those of us which need to move from ME7/MI1 to MJ7/MDK2 base. We will need to re-root and all that good jazz....looks like a more dependable root option is there for us now.

I took the MK2 update but now the root method in this thread which was suggested doesn't seem to work.

I can see my device with Samsung Kies software, and the script starts but just says daemon started successfully but nothing shows on my phone to actually press or do anything, just sits there, been 10 minutes now.

Any suggestions?

Actually it only takes you up to MI1, but assume at that point you could simply take the OTAs from there once on that fresh base. And the nice thing about it is "No Wipe" so it won't erase your data, only system side.

Neither. It's Root Explorer. See this thread for a copy of a working root explorer (post #18).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sincidius:
Installed. Running for a few hours now and everything seems great. Anything I should try that might help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Omerta82:
When it shows daemon started and nothing happens, unclick USB debugging and click USB debugging again. This should have a dialog box popup in your phone asking you if you want to accept the connection from your computer. Click always accept and you should be good. It did the same thing with my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Arsenic1234:
Yah I tried that no dice...

It goes from showing being connected as installer to media device after a few seconds.

Is that something important?

I may have to Odin back to MJ7, but that erases all my stuff right?

Rather not, but not sure the root works on MK2 nobody has said it does, yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Omerta82:
When the Mk2 update came out, I Odined back to MJ7 took the ota and rooted just fine. You do lose all your data though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] upther:
I had to install these Samsung USB drivers to get my computer to recognize my phone. It was weird because Keis saw it, but my PC didn't.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Arsenic1234:
That fixed it. Much thanks! Might want to add that driver link in the OP for people who download samsung kies, think its working but hang like me.

Now onto safestrap, and waiting patiently for the next development to unfold. woot woot!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hashcode:
I'm noticing this new hijack has some unforeseen side affects. Like it messes with the stock recovery a bit (which apparently uses /system/bin/e2fsck).

I'm going to do some digging and see if I can't do this a different / safer way.

(And I'll probably pull the newest test link for now).

EDIT: I think I can probably do this as 2 hijacks. 1st which patches the sepolicy for Safestrap functions and the 2nd hijack would be the same as it is currently in the non-SElinux verison.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Saferoot works fine on MK2. However, whatever's wrong isn't anything to do with what release you're on. Your device is not being recognized by adb.

If you start the device manager (Windows-Break, then pick "Device Manager") do you see a "SAMSUNG Android Phone" entry with a "SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface" device below it?

If you don't see that, then you probably have not enabled USB debugging.

Another thing to try is to tap the "Revoke USB debugging authorization" button. Then unplug and re-plug the phone.

You should then see the "Allow USB debugging?" prompt. Tap on the "Always allow from this computer" checkbox, and tap OK.

If you get to that point, the root tool should work OK.

If you're NOT seeing that device, then you need to use "adb" to figure out why it's not connecting.

The adb tool is bundled with saferoot, so you can use that to test.

What you could try is to open a command prompt (start/run, type "cmd" then enter).

Use the "cd" command to change to the directory where you unzipped the saferoot.zip file::

cd \users\username\downloads

for example.

Then CD to the "tools" directory

cd tools

Now, you can try some adb commands. For example, "adb devices". What does that show you? An "Offline" device needs to be authorized using the dialog above.

Ok I fixed my wifi issue flashing a kernal and ive been able to flash themes I havent tried a rom since Ive heard they dont work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Arsenic1234:
Thanks for the follow up, it was the usb drivers were not all correctly installed even tho samsung kies could see the phone and such.

I had to use the link 2 posts up and download and install them, then it went quick as a flash!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hashcode:
Next beta build will have adb in recovery fixed for those that are having issues with that, and some added checks for when to skip triggering the hijack.

For instance:

recovery bootmode

charge only boot mode

etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] remf4i:
What kernel did you flash ?

EDIT ....I am on MK2 and just flashed HYPERDRIVE 11 in the stock ROM slot and its working 100% ,and you also can odi n back to MJ from MK
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Just so you know it also wiped out my APN a couple times, first right after I initially booted into SS from within the app, and another time it happened randomly. Never had that happen.

Maybe useful info maybe not just informing you. Thanks for all your work.

Successfully got Hyperdrive 4.3 RLS11 Running on my AT&T GS4 with the VZW alpha safestrap flashed to the stock slot =]. I copied my modules from my original MK2 firmware and pasted it using a file explorer so Wifi and everything works! WARNING: when flashing to stock slot Safestrap gets deleted and needs to be reinstalled all over again. So if you mess this up. You brick.

Going to gather all the needed files for root, modules, SS, ROM, odin, etc. And hopefully succeed in this tomorrow. Wish me luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ss12108:
Are those the modules for mk2? I got HD 11 up and running on stock mk2 too however I used these modules and my wifi won't work.

sounds like great progress for sure, now has anyone loaded HD11 in a Rom slot, flashed the appropriate MDK2 or MJ7 modules and it all works? I'm still waiting for hashcode to further refine this as he is doing before I jump. Job well done to all!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Easton999GS:
If you want a brick go ahead. 4.2.2 is entirely different it's running a new kernel which no kind of modules will make it 4.3 compatible ever. Bootloader is different and so is all the security. 4.3 needs entirely different things being reverses and hacked to have safestrap. So when you update you are stuck with 4.3

O man, all this HD11 talk has got me really itching to try it out. Can't wait to see some more information and progress. You guys are doing great. Thanks for not giving up on the GS4.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Easton999GS:
To extract the modules, you need to load the stock rom first. Copy the system/lib/module folder contents. its like 2 files then flash the new rom and then paste the backed up module folder back where it was taken from in the new rom

Alright I can handle that seems easy enough to do. Same results as having them in a zip file and flashing them.. Good deal. Thanks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Quentin.Sheley:
Ok so I've successfully installed RLS11 Hyperdrive ( [MENTION=4600715]sbreen94[/MENTION] ) to my S4 using MJ7. I'm using the beta SafeStrap 3.65 that was posted a few days ago by [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] . I also installed the module.zip file on post #1091.

My process included this:

- Assuming you're rooted MJ7 already which I did a while ago using VRoot, then removed VRoot later on

- Installed the SS Recovery

- Created a backup of my "Stock" Rom

- Loaded RLS 11 Hyperdrive

o Set up the ROM with what I wanted and used the first stock kernal that it provides, not the K776 one

- Installed the module.zip file right after the ROM

- ReBooted the system and all was well

- One thing I did have to do was install / update the Xposed Framework so that you can make changes to the status bar and lockscreen to personalize it.

Now one question I have of the 'genius' ' on here. I want to clear all my internal storage to maximize the space available. If I've created the back up of my stock to my sd card is it safe for me to just go in SS and format all internal memory, then reinstall Hyperdrive and the Module.zip file?

If not I'll stick with what I have that's working.

Thanks and hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Easton999GS:
you can wipe data and cache in SSrecovery then install the rom to the stock slot. For some reason hyperdrive deletes Safestrap entirely so after you install the rom you have to reinstall safestrap. Im currently running Wicked 4.3 from TMO on my AT&T S4 with safestrap and it didn't delete safestrap at all so im not sure why this happens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] prisonnet:
Anyone tried a 4.3 GPE rom? Should work, no?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Quentin.Sheley:
I've only worked Hyperdrive. [MENTION=2903031]Easton999GS[/MENTION] I'll give it a whirl after 1 more question.

Once I do clear all data and cache off stock then reinstall RLS 11 over it this will clear all internal data allowing me to use all 16 (minus the ROM usage).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hakisac78:
You did this on the stock slot correct?

Will it work in rom slot 1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] remf4i:
It will only work on stock slot ,you can make a ROM slot but it will not boot as of yet ,it still boot the stock slot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Quentin.Sheley:
[MENTION=5495319]hakisac78[/MENTION] What he said. It works only in Stock. Rom Slot 1 did some real weird **** when i initially deleted Stock and forgot I didnt have rls11 downloaded. It booted but force closed like every app and had no baseband, no wifi, or anything.

Please ensure you do a back up so you have somewhere to go back to.

Edit: Using "Stock" side of course, not in a slot.

I am on rooted MK2 but I did the framework import for the wifi tether hack.

From what I could tell by opening up the .zips, they are identical to the one posted earlier in this thread that I commented on not working. Do I have to re-install HD11 and flash during the end of the install or just simply go into SS recovery and try to flash the one you posted now? :cyclops:
