well i tried but couldnt figure it out. im not really dev-savvy. so if anyone wants to download the sch-i545L source to compile a kernel and possibly even inject root or make it easier to root (if possible?..) i would donate to the cause. im sure us with the 545L variants would appreciate a helping hand
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] empthollow:
I've downloaded the source from samsung and now I'm downloading the 4.2.2 base. Wish me luck:) lol. I've never built android before but it doesn't look too much different from any other source code so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hilltopper06:
Good Luck! There seem to be quite a few of us out there with this device that would really appreciate root/rom support!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
If you get a rooted rom or a kernel for us please share! I'm sure if we had a kernel we could flash roms then kernel, or flash vzw s4 kernel for root methods and then flash back. Kernel would be the optimal provision

Kernel Crossing

I have compiled a kernel using the Samsung source and the running kernel configuration from my i545L. I have not tested it but I have no reason to believe that it is any different than the kernel running on my phone. I am not sure when I will get around to testing it but if anyone tries it please post back here.

I have not located a pit file yet.

Link to stock compiled kernel - Odin format:

http://d-h.st/tcl

I don't know how to disable root block so that the motochopper root method will work again but that is something I will be looking into.

And finally the necessary un-pleasantries... I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone and I don't provide any warranty with this kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
I will test it later
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BurtMacklin:
could you explain this a little more thoroughly? possibly do a step by step. i dont know how to find that file on my stock. i can only find it in the eclipse zip.

apns-conf replacement

First thing i will say is that i was not successful in sending MMS with this trick, however after some googling this does seem to be the correct process. The error was recipient invalid or not found. It may be a bug with eclipse. I found a couple bugs other than the auto-rotate. I am going to switch to GE rom. With a different rom the only variation in the instructions below would be step 7. Although i doubt it.

First of all you need adb installed. That varies depending on your computer OS.

1. activate android debug in stock via developer options

2. run 'adb pull /system/etc/apns-conf.xml'

3. reboot into eclipse (or whatever rom) & active android debug

4. run 'adb push apns-conf.xml /mnt/extSdCard/

5. run 'adb shell' - after you run this you are in android command line

6. run 'su'

7. run 'mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system /system

8. run 'cp /mnt/extSdCard/apns-conf.xml /system/etc/'

9. run 'exit'

10. adb reboot

:cool:

i have I545L it little bit different then I545 as i know. I try plug ATT SIM in, but nothing happens it cant find service, and in mobile network settings i can choose only between CDMA and LTE/CDMA

Any chance of installing a stock verizon firmware? I am on my way to test the Hyperdrive. :good:

btw. I dont know if this is of any use but this is what i'be been trying ans searching around.

1.I've downloaded a stock 4.2 firmware and tried to install it with Odin and with Safestrap but instantly failed, no software damage occurred. :victory:

2.Tried to access hidden menus but no luck with any code. :eek:

3.Somewhere in this forum i'vs read about enabling those options, did the steps but no luck. :eek:

4.Downloaded the ServiceMode Shortcut apk from PlayStore and for my surprise this is what I found (image attached) :confused:

5.My galaxy S4 is from Open Mobile (Puerto Rico) Carrier, but same model. (image attached) :confused:

Edit:

Just finished installing the hyperdrive rom but cant switch from CDMA/LTE to GSM/UMTS or Global. When I select the option it automatically go back to CDMA. Manage to insert APN successfully. I will keep digging around to see.

Edit 2:

Nope, it just doesn't let me. Flash it again and still do the same, flash it with the att and still search for cdma, when i set to manual search it said "error while searching for network". Any advice??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
its because its a cdma phone....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrmorales21:
yeah but still a I545L which some people are using on gsm and I've converted a S3 from Opem Mobile to Verizon and successfully register on GSM but this one in particulas won't. In fact, there is something that is bothering me. I dont know if this has to do with the problem, but, if the ESN is bad, would it be a problem for the GSM too? (either this or a genuine verizon one)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kmg90:
New update pushed to Cellcom customers, anyone know if it's on parity with mainline model? Also I'd we want a chance to root do not update until a root is found for the new version.

Still have yet to see any reports that root method works for Cellcom phones.

Unless [MENTION=3940199]k1mu[/MENTION] you want me to update and experiment on behalf of the 545L clan. I'm willing to do it if needed. Otherwise I'm holding onto 4.2.2 with root and custom rom for now.

Research says it updates to MK4. Think it'd work with your root method?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrmorales21:
hey guys if the phone has bad esn, would it not register on gsm?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
my update keeps downloading and installing, then erroring at 27% installation every time. what should i do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Very likely. It's confirmed to root MK2 on the straight I545.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
still erroring on 27%. how can i see whats stopping it??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
That's a pretty good indication that something that you either froze using Titanium Backup or something else that you changed (like installing xposed framework) is failing due to a modified file. I've PM'd you with what I need to help you identify what needs to be restored.

Md5 for SCH-i545L

If anyone knows anyone that hasn't updated yet, plz have them save .md5 file. Basically while upgrading firmware you can copy these files. After kies downloads update but before finished uploading to phone. You can copy these files when phone is being uploaded from 0%- 100%. Once finished uploading from kies to phone files will be deleted.

Will post where to find this file and a better link to tutorial. Or google will help. Thanks.

I'm stuck with Samsung logo and can go to download mode and all but won't boot. I have update.zip from b4 update but failing. I now am learning lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lumpy973:
1. On your pc, windows explorer, check the option "Show hidden files, folders, and drivers".

2. Now connect your phone to pc via kies to begin the firmware upgrade.

3. Kies will begin to download the firmware files...

a. The files will be saved under a tmp file called "tmp****.tmp"

(NB: **** can be any letters or numbers, e.g. In my two times of upgrade via kies,

first timethe tmp files was "tmpA4CE.tmp", and on the second it was "tmpD900.tmp"

b. In Windows 7, this tmp file is located at, C:\Users\*\AppData\Local\Temp

(NB: * is the pc user session name, e.g. C:\Users\Spacks\AppData\Local\Temp)

4. When download is complete, kies decompresses this tmp file into a folder called

"tmp****.tmp.zipfolder" and begins the firmware upgrading process.

a. The folder has same name as the tmp file but now with an extention of .zipfolder.

(So scroll through the folders in the same directory to locate it).

b. When kies begins the upgrade process starting from 1% until it reaches 100%,

quickly copy the "tmp****.tmp.zipfolder" to your desktop.

You have about 2 to 3 minutes to do this. Kies will delete the folder once upgrade is 100% (completed).

5. The "tmp****.tmp.zipfolder" contains all the firmware files kies has used to upgrade your phone.

Now you have a backup of official firmware from kies.

i need some help, my phone wont register, wont even choose gsm. i am on 4.2.2 btw
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lumpy973:
What phone and carrier? Im guessing but i545L and dk carrier. I545L should be unlocked and just insert diff carrier sim and adjust apn from what I understand. Updating to 4.3 u may hv to unfreeze apps (knox, update programs, stock apps etc) if u changed files and renamed as .bat file or deleted u may have to restore them also. But shouldnt. U might even need to restore back to cdma and use original sim to get the update 4.3. Kies may be confused if gsm only is selected. Just a guess on what ive been researching.

If u do hv a sch-i545L and get the 4.3 update; plz look back to page 21 I believe and c if u can "catch" the tar.md5 files

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lumpy973:
Your having trouble after update? Did u change gsm cdma modes? Or apn? U might b able to google ur carriers apn and double check they are correct. Settings->connection-> more networks ->mobile networks->And see what you got there.

This is naturally a cdma phone. But some insists its unlock.its a vzn rural lte program. (Small carriers under vzn). It get gsm you put another carrier that is gsm in ( att, tmobile etc) power up and recheck networks in settings. Supposively will show gsm and apn options. Have to set apn according to that providers apn. Plz let me no if it works. Sorry, was tired last night after 18 hrs of work;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrmorales21:
well, i think this phone in particular is just a cdma phone. i have Claro and Tmobile, i am able to see my sim contact but not signal (only shows the no signal icon). when i go to mobile network settings to change from cdma to gsm the only options i can choose from is CDMA/LTE or CDMA no matter what sim o how many restart i do. :(

I can't get any roms to boot, I've downloaded hyperdrive (ss version) with the MK4 modules posted earlier in the thread....

I either get stuck at samsung logo or black screen bootloop (that reboots into the recovery menu)

I'm not sure if the root was entirely successful, I don't have any custom label on boot nor are updates blocked.

Safestrap is successfully installed but can't get anything but the stock rom to boot....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Make sure you're flashing the SAFESTRAP version of Hyperdrive. The zip file has "safestrap" in the name.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
Mines working great. Try to create a new rom slot, download the *safestrap* version of HD like k1mu said, then flash the modules. I've been using it for a couple weeks now nearly flawlessly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kmg90:
I was using the safestrap version, after several failed reboots after install I decided to completely delete the rom slot I was using and start fresh... next install worked instantly.

Any other safestrap ROMS besides HD that work with 545L?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
i've only got HD rls 14. all ive tried.. but once you set it up you cant get any better than HD..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kmg90:
Well I'm having nothing but trouble with getting mms working with Cellcom, the apns-config file is identical between stock and HD rom. .. Checking the secmms. Apk shared preferences is different but I don't know how to change them on HD...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
I should of mentioned too, that I can't send, but can receive mms. I can't figure it out, I experimented with what you tried too. Hopefully someone reads and gives us some ideas, whether it be harvesting apns and apks from stock rom, which I think might work, just don't know which ones to copy. If anyone has any insight let us know :p

Has anyone seen any stock firmware for this model yet? Bluegrass, cspire, or cellcom would be useful. For this model. I'd still really love to get cyanogen on here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
I've got the odin flash file. And also you will never get cyanogen on that phone. same restrictions as post-MDK verizon s4's, locked bootloader. only options are safestrap touchwiz roms. i believe the phone got 4.4.2 the other day though.. but thats really all you're going to get.

link to odin 4.3 flash. only works if you havent already upgraded to 4.4.2. posted by another guy on this thread. extract it out and you get the flash. https://mega.co.nz/#!HYBVHRQY!AigKnk8oNokcStYZ6GR6l13t1oAa9bQsOHxjEMj1A2U

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
if you're rooted it wont show an available update, or are you not rooted so you can actually check?. the open source code is already out by samsung, so i figured the ota would be out. but its not on kies, so maybe its not out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] empthollow:
Thanks for the link! I'm really glad to have a failsafe now. My original thought for getting CM on it was to flash a VZW unlocked boot loader. The VZW S4 comes with a locked boot loader as well but I know it is possible to get CM on there. If you use heimdall or just repack the ODIN files you can interchange the pieces of the flash and heimdall will flash just the boot.ini or whatever part you want. I'm not sure how long it will take me to get to this but I'm glad I have the option to experiment now. Post back if anyone else tries anything fun :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xenithxzavier:
I unrooted to check for update and its not available yet. But please let me know if figure out how to get CM on here empthollow!! Id love to get cm11...

just got eclipse 3.0 installed and I love it didn't even have APN trouble however I am having one problem. I can't get modacos xposed it says for safestrap users to download on eclipse page to install. It opens then says application not installed and I can't download items from store without getting error -110. Anyone else had this problem?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
Read the Eclipse post and comments, will tell you what to do to fix that. I personally use hyperdrive. It's a lot better. Eclipse is just themed touchwiz.

Will throw some files his way and send him some $ if he could help the small 545L community. :P

tl;dr, would like to know if anyones running stock that can let us know when 4.4.2 update is pushed so I can help jumpstart us all to get a root method when 4.4.2 hits.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
You could use the technique that muniz_ri came up with to update to 4.4.2 and keep root. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2749660

If you can grab the OTA zip file, I can tweak it to allow it to be flashed using Safestrap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
When that happens, I will most certainly do that. No idea on the ota and I'm running hyperdrive lol. I'll try to check it out, if someone posts here that it dropped I'll take care of it and send it your way.
