Sorry, but he's right. However, jrkruse has put together an Aroma version of MK2 that allows flashing without the kernel. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shindiggity:
Nice! Yeah my fault should have read the OP!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
No problem. I think he may have it posted in his OP of his MK8 thread now. If not there's a link to his post in the OP of my MK2 thread.

Not Understanding

Not sure what to do or think at this point. I am starting to have the same issue as before where it corrupts my pictures on my memory card. Worked perfect for a while and now all of a sudden back to that. Also will say some songs i have had on there before is in wrong format and i have to put it on my phone again. Same happens when you move a app to sd it will gray out. I noticed also when i restart my phone it does this as well. Any ideas? Or is my device just messed up. Been fighting this battle for a while. Running aroma verision with stock Kernal. 64gb Scandisk memory card, Thanks in advance as per usual. :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
I still think it's an exfat thing. :( My only suggestion would be to try a different kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] snarlytaz:
It Works

Happy to say:

Dirty flash + wififix + further de-bloat + personal system app restores + Xposed + Cobalt VR theme + a few system app FC fixes + MJ7 modem flash...

All works great. I love plain deodexed stock roms to tweak and customize on my own and prefer TW as daily driver over AOSP so that all functionality works. I do use AOSP though just not daily driver.

THANK YOU GETTING THIS OUT... LOVE IT...

ps. Sometimes it just helps to move FC Samsung and Google apps to User area out of System. Sometimes after cleaning out Dalvik and fixing permissions they can be moved back in. If not even though they take a little user space room I just leave them there. Then again to me a lot are bloat so I just remove period...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vwpiper:
old&slow, Thank you and the others who have contributed. I'd been waiting on this since it was released from vzw. One full day and not even a hiccup. Wonderful job.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
Have you tried re-downloading yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
Thank you for trying it out!:D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
What do I need to re download sorry if this is a dumb question. Do i need to re download the ME7 build again and try flashing? Or your rom? Trying to restore it now to when it was 1st rooted on MDK before I flashed ME7 to see if that will work. If this does work will I be able to just flash yours? or do I have to Flash the ME7 then yours? I Hope this works don't want to have to find a image for odin and start all over lord have mercy on me. Thanks for taking the time and actually helping me old&slow. :) Hard to get any help these days.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
If the md5 that you posted was for my rom, you need to d/l my rom again.

Md5 for my rom - md5: 3f87aa047261a8bb8b7a1c14f62590d4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
......after restoring I am stuck on the Odin Mode with the green adroid guy with it saying downloading do not turn off target.... :crying: loss of words really need to know what to do now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
If you pull your battery....put back in....hold vol-up/home/power....let go of power at samsung splash screen....do you get to custom recovery (cwm or twrp)?

BTW, you are still in MDK bootloader with a custom recovery, right??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
odin won't pick up my phone I believe i am screwed.. can't get past odin mode on phone

---------- Post added at 04:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

let me check I was with TWRP have to take it out of the otterbox case one min.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
ok, just making sure you were still on MDK bootloader....meaning never accepted an ota to ME7 and so on...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
nope can't even get there stuck on Odin Mode with green android guy .....please tell me I didn't brick my phone by doing a recovery.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
When trying to boot into recovery, are you letting go of the power button at the samsung splash screen and continuing to hold vol/up and home until recovery opens?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
never once took a ota either.....why me. I hope there is a fix
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
What did you restore?

It really sounds like you installed a stock ME7 build at some point. You should have just installed the ROM from this thread over your existing ROM.

Either the download is corrupt, which means that you'll need to re-download, or you mistakenly updated your bootloader.

Once you install anything later than the MDK bootloader, you can't use custom recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
What are you calling the samsung splash screen? I am letting go of power at the custom spot and I tried to keep on holding it and it just seems to stay black until i let go of the power button then continues to go into odin mode
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
What Kernal you suggest? I will try any of them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
I would try that on and then maybe kt's updated kernel TW/KT-SGS4-JB4.3-TW-VZW-12.22.2013.zip

Switched to this ROM and now asking to update

I just switched from Hyperdrive to this ROM because Hyper was just having too many issues. I put this rom on the phone last night and now it is nagging me to do an update which I'm not about to do. How do I get rid of this now and keep it from asking again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
If you look in /system/app/ for SDM.apk it should already be renamed to SDM.apk.bak or deleted altogether.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] racedog:
I knew there was something in there to stop the updates but couldn't remember what it was. I did some searching on the phone and then froze SDM. I didn't edit my post because I wanted to hear from someone in here to be sure that this was the right app to freeze. Thanks for the confirmation!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
Sorry, don't know how that one got through. :eek: That's usually one of the first things that gets deleted or renamed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Well the 1st kernel is what I was already running so I flashed kt kernel and let it settle for the night and will post back after testing today fingers crossed

Failed

Just tried this [ROM][TW4.3]STOCK-ROOTED-MJ7-AROMA-LOKI'd ROM, Aroma version, with CWMR Touch on a stock rooted MDK. Wiped Dalvik. Cache, Factory Reset/Data. Seemed to install fine but then hung at "Custom" on rebbot. Flashed and failed again. Fortunately I was able to a Nandroid Restore but not sure where this went wrong. Finally got TWRP to install after several failed GooManager attempts over the past month. May CWMR Touch is the problem.

Any guidance?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
I don't think cwm is the problem. I use it exclusively. The only thing it haven't been able to flash with it is the modem.

First thing I would check is the md5 hash of you download. And. File Host has been pretty problematic lately. If that's good, you might try a minimal install without a lot of options, then go back and dirty flash with all the extra options. I hope this fixes you up Sorry your having problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Cwm, I also use since twrp had a bug when the s4 first came out..

I also installed modems with out issue..

But you couldn't reboot to do so. Needed to boot into recovery.. Weird but it worked every time.

Try a minimal install like old&slow mentioned good luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] schneid:
Thanks all. Going to try the non-aroma version via TWRP as I am now TWRPed. I report back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] schneid:
TWRPed and it worked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
So I have tried both kernels and I get the same results. Corrupted pictures and so on. Is it possible that my phone is just messed up? everything works fine except for stuff to sd. :( And bad part if it is my phone they probably won't send a mdk build s4.... any other suggestions? Tried stock and Kt
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
Google "Samsung galaxy sdcard pictures" and you'll see that this has been going on for quite a while. Sorry that you've jumped through hoops for seemingly no reason but you never know what might change with new releases. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 3volution:
Is it possible to stop which Wi-Fi network I am connected to from constantly showing up in my notification drawer?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 3volution:
Anyone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
I plan on looking into it, I promise.:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 3volution:
Oh ok,lol.

I didn't know if it was an issue or if there was a fix I could flash or something.

No biggie,just an annoyance. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chris000001:
Is this different than the setting located in Settings>(under Connections tab) Wi-Fi>menu button>advanced>uncheck Wi-Fi notifications?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 3volution:
:good:

That's all I needed,thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
Derp.....used to have to do an edit to get rid of it. Thanks. I never bothered looking there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 3volution:
I'm suddenly having wi-fi connectivity issues though my other devices are working fine on the same network.

Suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
I've recently been having flakey wifi also. I get the message "Wifi connection is unstable", or something like that. Other times it's perfect. I'm blaming it on the router. The unstable warning is something new so it's probably always been like that, only now, the phone complains about it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mtown_cyclone:
I see this too only on this rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chris000001:
I'm pretty sure you can stop that warning in the advanced wifi settings as well. I think it's the "Auto network switch" setting. I think that allows the phone to check your wifi speed and if it thinks it's too slow it wants you to get back on your phone's data connection.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I had a 64gb ultra but it turned out it was fake so the real one should do fine then. I didn't know if anyone was having trouble with the 64gb ultra SanDisk sd cards . Thanks for the info will buy another make sure it's the real thing this time. Dam ebay paid 50 for it so thought it was real and in original packaging. Lesson learned

You are running jrkruse's NC5 rom aren't you?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FordNate:
Yup. But I'm thinking because the batt mod n flashlight toggles is why it might be having issues. Latest philz 6.40.1. It's stumping me as well. That's why I was thinking reflash
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
Is that the og battery mod? And is that rhippy's flashlight mod.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FordNate:
yes to both
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
It's failing because I'm missing the 2 tiles for the flashlight. I'll fix that this evening.

i dont know anymore. im gonna reflash later today n try it again. im purely stumped though. would using the unmodded (4x4) TW havre anything to do with it? I'll let you know after work today how the reflash of it goes with no mods (except Flashlight installed) goes
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
That was his mod just recompiled with the different colors and I added framework-res.apk for the switches an ckeckmarks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FordNate:
When do you plan on releasing the OnS Version of NC5? I bet your itching for it lol.

yeah i'm gonna just reflash in a bit later on today. Been minor issues that im having with media players that i know i messed up so I'm getting a "clean" start on em and everything else.. I'm a flash junkie and i go through stages where i flash a lot. I feel right now is one of those times.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
I did put one together just to do it. It's what I use on my personal phone. I wasn't really planning on releasing anything. It's just plain stock and pales in comparison to other roms like jrkruse's.

i know what you mean. I'm trying to figure out how to get everything up n going so i could do the same, but i keep just hitting roadblocks n i can say i barely reust my 4 yr old HP even though its been awesome, like i said before ADB is gone for some reason.. lol.
