Hi,

Love this ROM but after last nightly 10/31/2013. I have a crackle in my bluetooth. Is there anyone who knows how to fix this.....Someone said Kernel but from the dev thread it doesnt say.

Help want to stay on this rom.

Thanks

Pandora streaming music through my Jambox all day no crackle. No problems with audio quality here. Try clean flashing again

Only issue is stutter when I turn the screen on. I was under the impression that the devs stomped that bug awhile ago because I haven't noticed it recently

I've only encountered it on latest CFX nightly with Trchd B4

Despite that minor hiccup I'm loving the battery life and smoothness on these 4.3 roms

Do i need an external micro sd card to perform the update? I ask this because i have seen many posts where the users say "copy the dload folder to the sdcard".Do they mean the internal storage or the external micro sd card?

Hey XDA Community

I had to get a replacement Sony Xperia Z Ultra recently due to a fault and have now received a new handset but i am having alot of trouble with it this time round when it comes to either flashing/rooting/unlocking :(

heres my previous thread i made before

I cant for the life of me flash this new handset :S

All drivers are installed correctly, and have latest version of flashtool even updated the handset to the latest

build number 14.1.B.2.257

I keep getting the message saying error please install drivers etc etc

but the drivers are installed and correct

also i tryed to root the phone but no success as i think i read the build number i am now on cant be rooted so fair enough, i wanna flash this phone with the unbranded file in my previous thread but i seem to be stuck as i cant get the flashtool to work :(

is there another way :(

you can find the driver in local disk C or program file where you have install flashtool, you can find file driver, and then you open flashtool-driver.exe, just follow prosedure (click next) choose your type driver and finish it until the end.

after that you just flash the phone as usual.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] uresh.kuruhuri:
Hi,

I did enough Google search to find how to check if the bootloader is unlocked or for that matter the bootloader lock status. I have found various threads which point me to different devices like HTC, Xperia, etc. but I have not seen any related with Galaxy S4.

From some articles over the internet I read that Samsung Galaxy S4 (T Mobile) has come with unlocked bootloader.

I am very curious to know if there is any app or a command to check the bootloader lock status. I assume that there would be something (e.g. flag or data element) that identifies the bootloader as locked or unlocked.

So, I would request any help in finding the bootloader lock status for Galaxy S4 (T-Mobile).

Is there a generic method for android devices using adb commands? OR

Is it means of any process? OR

finding the bootloader lock status is device dependent?

Thanks in advance

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RaniKheir:
I'm not so sure why it's so hard to find information on this. After reading here, here, and here, I thought there might be a way to check it using the "fastboot" command. But then I read this, and finally this (the last one might be the only one worth linking for our SG4 case), there might be no way to check it using the "fastboot" command.

Then I searched through the [*#0011# > hard button back > key input Q > key input 0000 > select 7 ] menu, didn't find anything.

Installed an app named DevCheck System Info, under the System tab I see that my bootloader is listed as 'I337MVLUGOH1', googled 'I337MVLUGOH1 bootloader' thinking I might some information on it. Nope, but I found this list of many bootloader links.

This command also gets the same result: adb bugreport | find "bootloader"

Might just try to do what I wanted to anyway and see how it goes. I've already taken a good backup of my files.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
RaniKheir,

You can always give it a try!

Just wanted to let you know, though, your phone is an I337, which is an AT&T phone, this is the T-Mobile forum.

Samsung, until the S7, did not lock bootloaders by themselves, but would lock them for other companies. AT&T always asks for the bootloader to be locked since the S4 was NB1. Since your AT&T phone is an OH1, it is a safe bet that it is locked.

-AlaskaLinuxUser https://thealaskalinuxuser.wordpress.com
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RaniKheir:
Woops, I found this thread through Google, sorry about that.

Would the process to check for locked/unlocked bootloaders be different if the carrier varies?

It's actually a Koodo from Canada :) so its bootloader was unlocked.

I managed to install TWRP fine, then made a backup, and attempted to install Xposed. Got stuck on the load screen, read more and turns out I'll need to use a deodexed ROM for that, oh the joy of playing the experimentingxpatience game :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
I leaned something new! Glad to hear that!

RaniKheir,

Since your bootloader is unlocked, you should try this rom:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/development/rom-aokp-mm-t3391994

The people on this thread are using Xposed on this rom (which is made to flash on all S4's that use GSM - like yours). I know Xposed will work with this rom, since others are using it, and if you have trouble, you can ask them what to do.

In either event, I learned something new about Canadian phones - I guess maple does really make everything better! :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DionWhite33:
I want to find the same answer....I preordered the Tmobile Note 7 and since the S7 was locked on TMobile its anyones guess about the Note 7 now... when I get it I want to be able to check it because if it is locked I want to return it. I did read that T-Mobile went to bat against Samsung and requested some S7 come unlock but that still doesn't mean that the Note series is the clear....
