ok someone needs to try this to root 4.3. The OP said it should work on other samsung devices (not sure if it has to be modified or work as is)

DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW IT WORKS
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] br0adband:
I'd be interested in the attempt but then I noted in the post that designgears points out this could trip the Knox flags and for the moment I'd prefer not to go to that extreme (mine is still showing as 0x0 when I have the 4.3 MI2 build installed which I don't at this moment).

I would think that if it's compatible with the GS4A to any degree designgears or Chainfire wouldn't hesitate to let us GS4A owners know about it, especially those of us with the I537 specifically. Since they haven't, and it's designed for the Note 3 apparently (taking advantage of some root exploit they've discovered for that device specifically) I think I'll just remain patient and hopeful for our GS4A/I537 devices for now. ;)

Edit:

Posted the question at: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46286201&postcount=199 asking if that particular exploit might be something we could implement for the GS4A (and specifically the I537 with the MI2 4.3 build) - it's obvious that the method designgears and Chainfire discovered requires flashing the entire Note 3 ROM which of course ain't gonna work on our Actives, but perhaps the way the exploit is implemented could be transferred over to the Active.

/me crosses his fingers and toes and... :p
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] djsdumesh:
I KNOW THIS! I'm pretty sure. Go to settings>my device>motions & gestures> motion> SMART ALERT

I noticed this too on my old s3, note 2, my gfs s3, and it was the first thing I turned off when I got my S4A.

Hope its that, cause that vibration is annoying.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] br0adband:
designgears responded and said he'd check later tonight (hopefully) that the particular exploit might be transferable or at least implementable on this MI2 build so, everybody cross their fingers...

If it works on the pre-release MI2, there's a good chance it might work on the rumored 4.3 OTA update that may be coming in a few weeks (end of October is the best guess), so there's definitely hope that even with 4.3 and the Knox crap we could still get a working root for it.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] designgears:
Oh wow, I thought MI2 was talking about another device, not this one :)

Checking it now, for real :)
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] br0adband:
Duh. :D

But even in spite of my having moved on to the LG Optimus G (with a stop at the Galaxy Note in between after I sold off the Atrix HD), there will be other people interested in knowing if that exploit is "transferrable" to the Atrix HD, definitely.

Hell, I'm kinda missing the AHD I had for such a brief time, it was simple, solid, and it worked (not that the GN I had or the LGOG I now have didn't/don't, of course) and if I can sell off this LGOG then I'll probably look for another Atrix HD, go figure. ;)

Thank you again for your efforts, of course.

So in light of the active not receiving 4.3 until the END OF DECEMBER!!!!!!!!!

Who will be running the Leaked 4.3 now?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] popfan:
I have been running the leak for about 3 or 4 weeks now. Found some issues 1. loses user info from time to time (lost all my contacts, lost my user to play store & google+), various games crash randomly. Battery life sucks.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
So what new features are keeping you on 4.3 then? I'm trying to find a reason to upgrade to it, but so far I've only heard about bugs in the leak.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] popfan:
I have not found a feature to really unique enough to say that I really want 4.3. I have just been too lazy to downgrade and get root back.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Globel:
it seems quicker then 4.2.2 almost as fast as the aosp. I see almost no new features. I do get a warning now every time I replace my battery to remind me to shut the back door correctly. And when I charge via usb It tells me to close the little usb door....

Here is a list I saw on a website for the samsung update....

I have no new flashlight widget or contacts app...

CHANGES AND IMPROVEMENTS IN ANDROID 4.3 UPDATE

- TRIM Support (Makes the device much faster)

- ANT+ Support

- Samsung KNOX Implementation (KNOX bootloader and dedicated application)

- Samsung Wallet comes pre-loaded

- Improved RAM management

- Improved Display colour reproduction (Display looks much sharper than before)

- Improved TouchWiz Launcher (Much less launcher redraws and less lag)

- New Samsung Keyboard

- New Samsung Browser (Full screen by default, new tab interface and more)

- New Reading Mode (Optimises display for reading, used by only a few specific applications)

- New Camera firmware

- Minor UI tweaks (Contacts app, Flashlight Widget, dialog boxes etc)

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] :
Had anyone tried this method for root or found any other root method for this leak?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] my-blue-snog-box:
Eh, I'll try tonight I guess. I have to send back my old phone tomorrow (got a warranty replacement), so I may as well. Then I'll just reflash MF1.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] greeneyez15o:
Did it work ???
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] my-blue-snog-box:
Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to test it. Long story: basically, the fiancée absolutely required that I doo a few things when I got home... Sorry I couldn't come through.

Anyway, I don't want to try it on the new phone because I'm on MF3. Maybe someone on MF1 already would be willing to flash this, give root a try, then flash back to MF1 if it doesn't work.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] :
I've been running this leak for a few days now coming from mf1. I haven't ran it before because of the root issue. Battery life is excellent. Screenshots are borked which has been previously stated. My major problem with this build is my Google account. Every time I reboot the phone I lose my account. Which means I lose all my Google Play music and books that I have stored on the phone. I have to re sign in on every reboot. Any one else having these problems or could give a suggestion on a fix?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] charon420:
Been hanging in the background, I can confirm the issue with Google Account being lost and must re add. However for me it is at random times, sometimes it does survive the reboot, and other times I will go to the play store and just asked if I want to set up a new account or an existing. I've had the leaked update on for about 2 weeks now. Still looking for a root option.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] :
Good, that problem is not just me. I've been looking into a fix so if I come up with anything I'll post it here. The vroot method that was mentioned in one of the threads here does work for root and I have not experienced anything out of the ordinary. If you do use it I would highly recommend replacing the superuser app that comes with it with supersu.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
Do you have the AT&T version on the i537, our do you have the Mexican version? I think the MI2 Odin file only works with the AT&T version.

You also might have a bad download, try downloading again. Other than that I don't know what else could be wrong.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] xtc218:
I have the mexican version, and i download the odín file in 3 times

Mmmm and ir try to root my Phone but i can't with the ar.apk

Snif Snif help please
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
I believe the problem is that the leaked Odin file is specifically for the AT&T version of the phone. I don't think it's possible to flash it on any of the international S4 Actives (i9295 and the Mexican and Uruguayan version). Unless you have the i537 version sold by AT&T I think you're out of luck.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] xtc218:
ok

thank you, i´ll wait for the oficial versión.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] winter.k:
Back to stock options?

Thanks - Works great except for the bugs mentioned previously. I was hoping for AVRCP in 4.3 to work for Spotify metadata but it doesn't.

What options (if so desired) do I have to get back to stock? Can I only flash back to the pre-release MF1, or can I get back to MF3 since I'm not softbricked?

Thanks in advance for any help for this newb!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] :
Mf1 is you're only option. I've been on 4.3 for a few weeks now and think that I'm getting better battery life. The screenshot thing is starting to annoy me but I can live with it. We should soon see a official 4.3 update I would think.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] winter.k:
Thanks for confirming. I just wasn't sure.

I'm happy with it in the meantime. Hopefully we will see the update soon.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] gatoraid84:
I have extracted the file and get a one click exe. Fil I run it through odin with usb debugging checked andbhave no luck any pointers from you smart people would maybe keep me from beasting out
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
There are a couple things you can try, first make sure you have the i537 from AT&T as this package won't work on any other phone. Check the MD5 of the Odin file you downloaded, it's possible you got a corrupted download. Make sure you are using the usb cable that came with the phone, for some reason Odin is pretty finicky about the cable you use. Finally try different usb ports, sometimes some usb ports work better than others.

These are the things I try when Odin fails for me, others may have different ideas.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] gatoraid84:
Thanks for your your reply I figured it out..feel stupid but got it nonetheless

the problem I am having is that somehow it keeps losing my google accounts, as well as all the phone numbers

somehow the Google accounts just disappear!

anyone know why this may be happening?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
I've heard of this happening before. Your best bet is to flash ML2 if you want to be on 4.3, since it is official firmware while this is not. Both firmwares can be rooted if that's what you're worried about.

Root - if you're not already via CF-Autoroot. [do some searching it's right here]

Go to Playstore install Titanium Backup Root and then purchase Titanium Backup Pro license - WORTH EVERY PENNY.

Open up titanium and then go to Backup/Restore select what ever apps you don't want and then delete them. You can delete nearly all Sprint and Samsung stuff. BAM done.

Error 67 is a data error and usually means it wasn't flashed over correctly

Or you can download a free file explorer and delete all Sprint and Samsung stuff...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] kalanir:
The issue is that I already did that and made my own custom boot logo but the thing that isn't helping is that Visual Voicemail is preventing me from knowing when I have received new voicemail. I unfortunately don't know how to decompile the system to change that setting so im branching out to everyone for help

no, error 67 is because the phone is simply trying to look for Sprint's Activation servers to update the profiles. The way you get past that is to flash a custom rom that is not related to sprint. I had a Sprint Galaxy S II Epic Touch and it had that error. I got past it by flashing the Generic R760 firmware and then reflashing the radios for the D710 using ODIN.

in all, I want to compile a generic firmware!

I see the Modems are different versions... how will that affect my phone if I use any of the Canada or Telcel ROMs?

What is PDA and CSC?

Besides the need to use "Odin", which other things should I consider to do this? How should I backup my phone?

Thanks...!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Ok flashing other modem's on a device that it, isn't ment for will give you lots of PROBLEMS! :mad::mad:FYI

If your looking for a Rom to flash find something that don't include a modem. And you should be OK. But if you find something from your county then you might get all the features they offer.

Personally I think that you need to do a lil (well quite a bit I'd say) reading up on the Android flashing, Rom's, etc!

But making a back up is best thru your recovery! I prefer TWRP recovery, found HERE: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=33867032

Look HERE for INFO:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=38949514

What is CSC?

CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.

What is PDA?

PDA refers to the build version of the software/firmware

Hopefully this info will get you on your way! Good luck buddy...

I have a Telcel i317m... in case you are interested in custom ROMs, you can flash any ATT (t0lteatt) or international gt 7105 (t0lte) ROMs with no problems.

Few ROMs will flash a modem and CSC... but you can always restore the originals from recovery

There's no point in flashing US or Canadian carrier's roms. They will install lots of apps you can't use.

You are better off using a debloated stock~ish rom like Cleanrom or Jedi. I have Cleanrom and I use a Tecel sim when I cross the border.

Not receiving 4G anymore

Hey guys, need help very badly.

I've a AT&T i317 unlocked, I'm from India, got the phone from US. Used to get 4G all the time when i was on stock ROM. Then i decided to go custom and installed Ditto Note 3 Rom v3.0 and continued receiving 4G. Then as the rom was unstable i'd to upgrade it to v3.1 and for a few days i did get 4G. But the thing with v3.1 is it comes with aroma installer and we were asked to install the rom which was meant for N7105 rather than i317 orelse the phone would be stuck at the samsung glowing logo forever!

So as instructed i did select N7105 and it changed a few settings but still was able to get 4G. Then came the worst part, i out of curiosity tried installing the rom for i317 and got stuck on samsung glow logo and again reinstalled the N7105 rom.

But on the installation process i observed that when i do a DATA/FACTORY RESET, it did not wipe the internal memory, so i did it manually in the phone settings and then installed N7105 which turned my phone completely into N7105! :( and ever since i lost 4G. :eek: :crying:

Then i tried installing V3.1 and check for 4G but with no luck.

So please help me out.

And what im thinking is if may be i can get a stock i317 rom that samsung released, i can instal it and do a factory reset and get my phone to be like when it came out from the factory and it might solve the problem coz i hate 2G! It sucks. And im not able to find the stock rom, please share me the link if any or suggest me something guys please!

I've been using ucdlk3...is ucdmg2 needed for 4.3? Which is newer?

I'm a little confused as I have only had this phone for 20 some odd days and this phone is a crapload different compared to my old galaxy s blaze.

I appreciate any help I could get because I plan on going back to stock via Odin and reflashing. Because I'm having some issues with many ROMs.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AshishPyala:
ucdkl3 is also going to work with 4.3 roms.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DiViNEX:
After a little more research i found Ucdmg2 to be newer.

4.3 ROMs flash and run but I can't get a stable flash, I've already had 2 mishaps where the newest twrp(2.6.3.0) says data is unmountable, first from the lost+found because it multiplied somehow and I couldn't delete the folder or install any ROM, ended up having to format data completely. Then another folder was stuck and I couldn't delete it and twrp wouldn't mount data because of it.

And it seems every ROM I flash reboots my phone occasionally or reboots upon a reboot, and I'm no amateur at flashing I know the whole routine.

So I need a fresh up to date bootloader/modem, guess I'll try ucdmg2.

And if anyone has experience with recoveries, what should I use that is the most compatible. I've been using twrp but it's giving me issues. Is there a specific build I should use? Thanks in advance.
