Yup. If you look at the picture attached to my post at the top, 8sms has an option to enable MMS over WIFI. Only works for carriers that support it and luckily Bluegrass does.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
Is there any way you could share info for mms on 8sms or whatever? I would like to try it. Do you know how you can edit for a different number Lol.

too complicated for me

Hey guys, so i was able to root my phone, install safestrap, and get a ROM and modules loaded and working with the comments way back on page 17. then my phone got updated and now i am rooted again and got safestrap going. However, i am not sure which ROMs work and which modules i should be using. maybe if you guys could dumb it down a bit for me and just link me to some downloads that would be awesome. i tried reading the comments but it is way over my head and i have no idea what you guys are talking about. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
Before anything, go into safestrap and backup your stock rom so you can have it if needed. Also use apn backup and restore to backup your apn for mms. As far as roms, all VZW ones do and some international ports, and several international ones using patches (thread in development forum) by jrkruse. I'm at work right now so I don't have time to get super in depth, you should find my Dropboxed modules nc5 for our phones a few pages back.

I'll try to be of more help later when I have computer access to better address your questions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BurtMacklin:
so i am using safestrap 3.72 which if i understand correctly ROM slots dont work? so should i just wipe my stock (after i back it up of course) and use that slot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
Yes. Also remember to backup apn, and look a few pages back on how to restore back. Rom, supersu, modules. Here's a link for module zip I made for us. https://www.dropbox.com/s/xxiuly4xyemyutb/jfltelra-NC5-modules.zip
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BurtMacklin:
So i got this to work and it was going awesome! was running eclipse and having no problems. i decided to try hyperdrive and now i think i screwed it up. i get the samsung galaxy s4 screen right away but then nothing. not even the safestrap screen so i cant recover my stock ROM. i can get into the download mode but not sure what i can do in there and i can also get into recovery mode but dont know how to restore my stock ROM. any idea where to start??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
You had to of forgotten to flash supersu. Since you can't boot into a rom, you have to odin flash. Did you upgrade to nc5 via ota? Need to know your bootloader to give any recovery advice
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BurtMacklin:
i selected supersu but i think it did the rom first and rebooted before it got a chance to install supersu. not sure what nc5 via ota is so probabaly not. how do i find out my bootloader?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
Did you get kitkat via ota download pushed to phone also what carrier just curious
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BurtMacklin:
yes i did. i have Cellcom. i just got Odin going and i am ready to flash but i have these files from by safestrap backup

cache.ext4.win.md5

data.ext4.win000.md5

data.ext4.win000.md5

system.ext4.win000.md5

system.ext4.win001.md5

which one do i use or should i do them all?

also, just to make sure, i use the AP button (formerly PDA) to flash it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
Tell me something, what did you use to root? Our thread to flash update in safestrap or did u use towelroot?

I don't believe you can flash those. Feel free to try at least the system ones.. But doubt it will work because the backups aren't really signed by Samsung as official I don't believe, which would error in odin. Btw what happens when you turn on your phone. Like how far will it try to boot. Will need an odin flash file.. I wonder if there is one online. I'm going to look. I have it but I don't really have the bandwidth to upload 2gb file

Download this from this site, extract the file from zip and flash it in ap. You will have to redo towelroot and stuff though.. . http://www.mrcrab.net/down-firmware/14093/Samsung-Galaxy-S4-LTE-SCH--I545L.html
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BurtMacklin:
it was a long time ago that i rooted it but i think i used towelroot. i think the way used in here seemed too complicated for me so i used towelroot. you were right, my safestrap backup didnt work. when i turn on my phone it vibrates, goes to samsung galaxy s4 screen, and then goes black (i think it just turns off right away). it doesnt try to turn on again automatically i have to hold power button down. i am downloading that file now but i have super slow internet so it will take a couple hours.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hawkseye25:
First try flashing a custom rom. Got in safestrap wiped and tried to flash hyperdrive 18.1 but got error unable to open zip. Restored stock for now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
Sounds like a bad download. Re download the rom. And make sure you flash to stock rom slot too. Remember flash process of rom-supersu-modules otherwise no wifi or root/break safestrap
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hawkseye25:
Right you were. Took me 3 tries to get a good file but now running hyperdrive. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
Did you take care of your apn?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hawkseye25:
Had an backup and restore ready but it seems to work without using it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
For mms?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hawkseye25:
Seems to. I haven't recieved one yet but it will send OK
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
Try to send one to yourself just to verify lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hawkseye25:
OK did have to restore apns. Thanks for the reminder. Glad I had em ready
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hawkseye25:
I backed everything up with titanium pro before I flashed hyperdrive. Is there an easy way to restore my contacts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
If you synced to Google Yeah. You go to settings accounts Google then your Gmail. Find contacts and sync.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hawkseye25:
Yeah I didn't do that lol. Guess I'll type em in or flash back to stock and sync

GSM/CDMA Unlock for SCH-I545L

Hi,

I just bought a SCH-I545L over ebay and the seller said its Verizon but it turned out to be Other local carrier phone probably Cell Com. Verizon Phones are GSM Factory unlocked and hence I wanted to buy the same but this is not working with International GSM Service providers.

I basically want to use the phone outside of the USA on GSM and CDMA network.

I would like to know anyone here can guide me to a post or thread where there is a GSM/CDMA unlock available for SCH-I545L.

The other problem which I am facing is that I am not able to enable hidden menu. Dont know how to enable the hidden menu. Have already checked out various posts saying to take a backup followed by changing /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu. Change OFF to ON. Did the same but thats not working for me. *#06# doesn't work.

I was however able to root the phone through Towelroot. I am currently on 4.4.2 NC5.

Any guidance in the matter would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Security Updates

I'm on rooted NC5. Has anyone been brave enough to update to the OTA Security Policies? I know what SELinux is from administering a CentOS system, so I think there is a good chance it will not break root, but anything is possible. If it does not break root I would like to install them because it is good for malware security.. but I'd rather take my changes if it means loosing root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
Security policy update won't harm you don't worry :thumbup:

Ok i haven't been in here in a long time..but what i was wondering is im rooted with towel root stock rom 442. And i have a Samsung galaxy s4 cellcom.is there a new rom yet and a new version of towel root? Try he towel root i have is the one that dont work fully
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
There should be a nk1 build but still 4.4.2. No new towelroot, the exploit it used has been patched in new versions and no new one has been found. Also, I just found out this phone doesn't have a bootloader lock like we thought it did. So if you guys wanted, a vzw dev edition twrp and kernels should probably work. So you will not be limited to touchwiz and safestrap. I don't own the phone anymore though so if you try anything, post how it goes

I successfully flashed custom recovery and CM11 to my Bluegrass GS4 tonight.

I used Odin to flash recovery.

I used this Odin: http://d-h.st/hSj

I used this recovery: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2322675 (the latest tar.md5)

I used this ROM: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=jflte

I used this GAPPS: http://itvends.com/gapps/gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip

UPDATE I have since switched to this ROM (GS4 Google Play Edition 5.0.1): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2557353

Do this at your own risk, it worked for me, it may not for you!

Known issues: Cannot make or receive calls. GPS doesn't work. Actually, Location Services in general do not work.

Download all files above. Copy ROM and GAPPS to SD storage (I used external).

Install Odin and Samsung USB drivers if your phone isn't detected.

Put phone in Odin download mode (power key and volume down at the same time while powering on). Open Odin. Message at the bottom should say "Added!!", if it doesn't check drivers.

Leave Auto Reboot checked. Uncheck F. Reset Time. Press PDA button and browse to the custom recovery downloaded above (the tar.md5 file). Cross Fingers. Press Start.

Phone will reboot into stock rom. Power off. Power on holding Vol UP + Power. Release when you see the recovery message at the top left.

In recovery, you need to do a complete wipe (not just factory reset, you need the other option for installing a new rom).

Then install ROM (you will get a loki fail message at the end, ignore). Wipe Data + Cache. Install GAPPS. Reboot.

CM11 will boot up. Go through normal setup steps. Congrats.

Now install GPE 5.0.1 ROM

It will launch it's own customized installer. I left everything at defaults. The phone will reboot once it is done. First boot takes a long time.

What is working for me on this ROM: Everything so far! GPS, Camera, Wifi, Bluetooth, Phone, Auto Rotate, etc. Only MMS requires a workaround for me (see below).

PS. If MMS is not working. Go to Settings, Mobile Networks, Access Point Names.

Toggle from CDMA/EVDO/LTE to the Top option (should say global). This setting is glitchy and will sometimes take multiple attempts to stick.

Go to Access Points

Edit the APN that is selected already.

Add the following MMS/MMSC info:

MMSC

http;//mms.iot1.com/bluegrass/mms.php

Type

Add "mms" to whatever is already there.

Press Menu key and Save.

If you restart you will have to perform these steps again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hilltopper06:
Just a follow up, 5.0.1 GPE is still running great. So much better than Stock.

So, we should be free to upgrade and downgrade at will since the bootloader is unlocked, correct? Anyone happen to have an NC5 TAR for Bluegrass? I've only been able to find one for MK4.

Also, anyone know if Lollipop is out for our phone? I've checked Kies and it only shows the NK1 update, but I didn't know if I have to get that update first before the Lollipop will show up or what.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
There's no i545L lollipop I'm aware of . You can get the firmware on sammobile, under firmware put in model number. You will have to register on site but don't worry it's free.

I have the Cellcom (NE Wisconsin) version of this phone. I've been able to successfully root it using towelroot on 4.4.2, but I am struggling to flash clockworkmod recovery onto it. How do I confirm that the bootloader has been unlocked? I've enabled USB debugging mode and installed the Samsung USB drivers and Android SDK. I boot into Download mode (Vol down, power, home) and Odin3 (v.3.10 & v.3.07) detects the phone correctly, but Odin fails to flash properly. I get the error "There is no PIT partition", which might have to do with a faulty usb connection. I also tried following hilltopper06's guide at the top of this page, but was unable to download the custom version of CWM. The link is broken. Does anyone have a link to that tar.md5?

Phone Info:

Model: SCH-I545L

Android Version: 4.4.2

Baseband version: I545LWWUFNK1

What exactly are you trying to flash in odin, and just look for a thread for it on the Verizon s4 original development thread... Twrp is better btw..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] snoopyddogg:
I was trying to flash clockwork-touch-6.0.4.7 as recovery in Odin. Do you have TWRP working on the i545L? I read somewhere that TWRP doesn't work with certain build numbers/i545L and to use CWM. I didn't dig through all 37 pages of this thread, just searched for keywords, so if you already answered this I apologize.

My goal is to eventually install Pac-man rom on my i545L, but I've run into this issue with Odin failing. I'm not entirely sure if this is because the bootloader is locked or another issue like a faulty usb cable. I'm considering Safestrap as an alternative but would prefer if I could flash a full rom instead of a rom slot. Any help is greatly appreciated!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
Bootloader is not locked, just must be doing something wrong.. and I don't have an s4. Use flashify or twrp manager and pick Verizon s4, safestrap you won't be able to use pac...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] snoopyddogg:
Turns out it was a bad usb cable after all. I was able to flash CWM v6.0.4.7 successfully using Odin 3.07 and a different usb cable. Can't wait to get my hands dirty with some new roms! :D

which roms works with the SCH-I545L, and does all drivers work. Like wifi cell ect. I have mine rooted, but like to change it from the Samsung bloatware to something more lean. and how would you put twrp on it for the full recovery. Thanks

Did you remember to pack the wifi driver and config
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
also which config is the proper one in the arch/arm/config
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] empthollow:
The config file i used was obtained by using this method.

adb pull /proc/config.gz
zcat config.gz > .config

This is the kernel configuration that is currently running on the device. The /proc filesystem is created at boot and doesn't otherwise exist.

The WIFI came out as a module so it is not included in the kernel image file. However, since the running kernel uses a module instead of including the WIFI in the kernel, those modules should be in the existing filesystem. The WIFI config files should also be in the filesystem as the kernel itself does not contain configuration files. I have not built the system partition and it is not included in the Odin tar file. The only file in the Odin tar file is the 'zImage' file which is the kernel image.

I could re-configure the kernel to include all modules thereby making it bigger but then it wouldn't be a stock kernel anymore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hilltopper06:
I haven't been able to try this yet. Odin doesn't want to see my phone properly (I think it is a Windows 8 bug). Anyone else given this a go?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] empthollow:
Did you remember to install the drivers forbthe phone?

Otherwise...

Heimdall works as good or better. You just have to unpack the file or i can upload it differently. I'm pretty sure there is a windows heimdall.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evilryry:
Worried about flashing it kind of lol, unsure if will be a perfect stock kernel or mess the phone up. Wish it was as simple to just adb pull the kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] empthollow:
Yeah, id likebto adb pull system.img. lol. Thisbis my first android kernel but it is just like compiling a Linux kernel. I have installed linux kernels on my laptop using the same method i used here. Despite that, I haven't tried it because I dont have time to go to the cell place and say derrr my phone wont boot... uh err ...I mean won't turn on. They have the firmware on site which is why it kills me I don't know someone to leak it. Lol.

Anyway, i totally understand. This will really only help us if one of the pre-release kernels for another build will allow us to root. There is no source code for the pre-release kernels because they are leaked. Which means I have no way of building a 'flawed' kernel.

I think my best bet is to build the system and inject su (Never done that though). It would be sooo much easier if one of the pre-release kernels would work though because we might be good to go already.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Just a thought guys, I don't myself have this phone but if it was me, I would try the ME7 root exploit. It seems like it would work on a similar device as long as your partitions are the same. Download terminal emulator or use adb from a pc to find out if your partitions are the same as ours, and I'll let you know if it will work. Also the open source files are for the kernel wont work as they don't include the ramdisk, also you have no way of flashing or exploiting the kernel. Another thing that may help is if you try to dump your partitions using dd if/of with adb.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] empthollow:
I've tried using dd on a galaxy S but it wouldn't work without root. I'll try again when i have time which probably won't be till next week. Here is a how to link if anyone wants to try sooner.
