Okay I'll admit I am new to this so maybe it was the Perseus I was running stock. Hmm. So that is the one I like then because I used Stweaks and it made the audio better than the DSP that comes w/ DU IMO.

So my beef is the Kernel threads don't really give any info in the post as to what I have to have to run it. IDK maybe I am lost. So basically I am on stock now, if I want to just do a quick Kernel w/ the Stweaks option I need to get Perseus then??

Thanks sorry and I want to jump back to DU but hopefully w/ the audio tweaks and Stweaks I was really digging., IF that is possible also let me know as I seem to be missing something in the kernel threads.

THanks everyone this has been killing me brick flash brick flash ....uughh.

Hoss, almost all the SPen functionality is available via freeware or payware programs on Play. And has been for months. "Almost" as in the only thing I know of that you can't do is do selection-based screencaps.

Really the only thing TWiz has going for it at this point is that it has good battery life, is Touchwiz, and is 8+ months out of date.

Plasma 2.0 is churning fine on my 4.3 DU right now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rageman24:
Well, I'm an idiot. Had been using the Plasma kernel or trying w/ everything. It was the Perseus one that I love.

Can we use the Perseus on DU? Probably not but that's what I want to do that would be the perfect combo IMO.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] skw5115:
Perseus is for TouchWiz ROMs while Plasma is for AOSP so the answer to your question is no you can't use Perseus on DU

Ever since installing 4.3 (sense 5.5 4.3, that is) I cannot get either HTC Sync or Android File Transfer to recognize my phone. Yes, debugging is enabled. When the phone starts up, for about 3 seconds AFT comes up with the window with my storage, but then disappears with the warning: "if lockscreen is enabled, disconnect usb, turn on screen, then reconnect to AFT." I try this, but it always says the device cannot be recognized. I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this, and if anyone can offer a solution. Thank you.

Hi!

Has anyone had success with turning on the screen on an Archos Titanium (I have 80) using motion sensor?

I tried different apps - "Auto Screen On", "Motion Action", "SleepTweak" and Tasker together with Secure Settings. It's possible to turn off the screen with motion but not on, even if you tell the app to keep wakelock on. Also, Tasker says that Display Action: Turn On "is not available on this device".

I hope there's a way round this problem.

Cheers!

Hey guys,

It might be a little early right now but as soon as any one of you are able to get the VRUEMJ7 (Android 4.3) update from either Samsung Kies or the Verizon Installer please post here. We need someone to pull the file for us so we can mod it and make it rootable.

What if we got ota?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] open1your1eyes0:
That file is already here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2502591

Not as useful at the moment if we want to root it the same way we did VRUDMI1, thanks for offering however.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kchitown1977:
OK sorry couldn't help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
It hasnt been released yet. You dont usually respond when I quote you in anything related to achieving root but would it be just as productive to try to pull the partitions from a device thats already taken the ota and retained root? Or possibly getting the partitions you need from an emmc dump via qpst. We already got the modem and NON-HLOS.bin signed (thus odin flashable). What specific partitions are you in need of?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] open1your1eyes0:
We need the full original system.img.ext4 (as would be included in the normal ODIN TAR for this build) and must be identical to the one included in the factory TAR or ODIN will refuse to flash it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] icomputerz:
I have the update on my phone right now. How would I go abouts getting the file from Kies or the Verizon program? I have both.

I updated OTA to 4.3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] open1your1eyes0:
Unfortunately you can't already be updated or it's too late. Kies and the VZW Installer get it as part of the update process for them but they have to detect that the phone is currently on an MI1 build to get it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] icomputerz:
There is an emergency recovery feature in Kies. Now if I can get it to kick into that mode, but not reset my phone, wouldn't it make the file begin to download?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ryno77:
Usually the updates are released via the vzw updater first..... Wonder if they did it this way on purpose trying to get as many as possible to get locked down?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] open1your1eyes0:
It is possible but my guess it would probably download VRUDMI1 build instead since MJ7 is not available as of yet for most people.

If they are monitoring these threads then they must surely know how we got root so quickly last time. It might be very likely this theory is true in fact. So far every update broke the previous root method and has required a new root method every time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] icomputerz:
Yep, kies does not have it yet. I'll keep my eye on it though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
I havent seen any indications of it by other means either. But if getting a stock.img.ext4 is our end goal then there are a few other means by which we can create a correctly sparsed and properly sized system.img.ext4 that will flash with odin
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gtj0:
I've been able to dd my already-rooted MJ7 system partition, copy it back to my pc, mount it, modify it, img2simg it, and reflash it with heimdall AND have the changes stick. You do have to do a chcon on the file to make it executable by non-root but I'm trying to modify the context in the mounted image.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vzwnexus:
would it matter if the current ME7 is rooted? i'll check my Kies when i get home in an hour or so
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Wait you have root and your on mj7? Are you planning on uploading some of those partitions ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] icomputerz:
Android 4.3 requires Kies 3, so let's see if this will download the firmware.

EDIT: It says "Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gtj0:
Yeah. I'm still in shock and I don't quite understand it. I need to see if I can reproduce it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cvondra:
Icomputerz are you running stock ML1? If not Keis will tell you to pack sand.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] icomputerz:
Yep, fresh OTA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joderme:
Where'd you get the ME7 tar from? :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PWM978:
I'll start working it once I get this damn OTA to actually work..... I think I may have to flash backwards to go forwards.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cvondra:
Does anyone have the VZW_Software_upgrade_assistant_installer.exe handy? Fkn VZW borked the link.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] leroybrute:
If you use the Verizon repair assistant when you plug in to your pc it fixes it so you can take the ota. You do loose root of course because it just downloads and installs the MI1. A couple of us have done this to get the ota to work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cvondra:
leroybrute do you have the Upgrade Assitant handy?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] killajoe:

Anyone know what kernel version this update is running (uname -a)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] leroybrute:

Exactly dood. If you have ever plugged your phone into your pc and used the installer it is stored here. It has the repair assistant in the package also, in which sounds like you need.

You would think it would work fine. Actually thought you were talking about Odin 3. Sorry.

Is this leading to a flashable 4.3? If so I will wait for this!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] icomputerz:
If the MJ7 update is available through the Verizon program, I believe it is downloading. I just did a major screwup on my part, and tried to flash MI1, which of course caused an error and the dreaded yellow triangle. The Verizon program saw my phone and brought up the Repair Assistant, and is downloading software.

UGH.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] portscan:
I was rooted on MI1 and had a download trigger with the assistant. It completely downloaded, but wouldn't install. I also got a failed installed when trying OTA. I knew it would fail OTA being rooted, even though I temp unrooted. If I knew where the file downloaded I could give it to eyes, but I do not see where it downloads to. I have searched high and low on the PC to no avail.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] leroybrute:
The repair assistant repaired my rooted MI1 by reinstalling MI1. Then I just did the ota from the phone.

Oh boy, oh boy! C'mon, be MJ7, I may be in desperate need! We leave for vacation Thursday AM so no time for replacements.

MI1 build (not the OTA). It should say MJ7 in the name.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SellswordShev:
Yeah I'm still seeing only MI1 on VZW, I don't think they have pushed the update there yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] portscan:
Dang.. Thought we were onto something. I will keep trying to make it trigger again. Now I know where it goes when it downloads. Once it does, if no one else beats me to it, I will get it to you so you can begin to develop a root for it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] coolsilver:
Sorry I am impatient and going to complain....

I feel like in a way staying on MDK I am like a red headed step child when it comes to stock roms. I can't update via normal methods because I lose root and loki. Yet the recovery flashable stock roms that are deodex/rooted with loki seem to be pushed off. Took a while for ME7, never could find a good answer over MI1. Often being told to just stay on MDK. Now MJ7 is out which I understand more developers are concerned about. Seems like that will be kind of pushed into remixed roms than plain old stock yet still being told not to bother.

So forget stock. I went with AOKP since I know they are consistent and had good luck in past. I guess I'll flash the radio later today and hope I don't have issues with RIL.

I guess best answer is to learn to repackage myself from now on and risk a soft brick.

I assume you now have the system.img.ext4 (from a dump) and thus the new Verizon upgrade assistant app right? if not I can upload it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] open1your1eyes0:
Made one ODIN flashable and ODIN refused. I figured it wouldn't be that simple. The system.img.ext4 is secured with a set of keys (not just a simple device pull).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
I already knew a dump wouldn't flash, It has dangling symlinks and csc contents missing we need the cache and hidden partitions before we can make an actual flashable system img. Also we'll have to parse it correctly. Hexediting the system partition will be more difficult than last time, I assume thats what beans did for the last root exploit.

---------- Post added at 04:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------

Also you removed root and tried with heimdall not odin right? Heimdall tends to work better for these things.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] open1your1eyes0:
What partitions do you need exactly? I'll dump them out for you and upload. Also the new Verizon Installer is the same as the old and says the firmware is not supported (yet at least I'm assuming). Tried the same with Kies3 as well. And yes there was hexediting involved and a change to /system/bin/prepare_param.sh to launch a root script on the SD card.

Can't remove root and then pull as root shell requires su. Haven't tried heimdall as of yet.

Note that I also have Xposed framework and Busybox binaries now in my system as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Sorry I should have clarified, you can see the files sizes are different, and the revision model is upped if you open the ModelName.txt file. Just need hidden.img.ext4 and cache.img.ext4. In the third image below is what I have for partitions from the new build, the pit, cache, and hidden partitions are from the international version, but getting them from our device would of course be ideal. I hexedited all the bootloaders, but Im not 100% sure they will register as signed because Samsung significantly changed the files for this update. If you need any of those let me know. Also I meant removing root by extracting the system.img.ext4 partition in android-kitchen and having it remove root for you then repacking the img

I can also provide anything you need even if I have to do a wipe to get a clean cache.

For now we'll use the cache from MIl and ill look over the ota's updater-script and see if it did changes cache.
