[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SkyAttacksX:
Ok, so I have an idea to like downgrade from mk2 or mf3... I am a noob to i337, so please explain to me WHY I can't do this before flaming :C

So we obv can't flash because of Samsung's locked bootloader and knox and stuff, but what if we were to completely wipe our phone. Not like a regular "I'ma factory reset my brick yo!" No no no, I mean completely getting rid of EVERYTHING. Modem, kernel, everything to make it as if you haven't gotten a single flash of ANYTHING on your phone, as if your phone is just getting it's software installed. THEN, we flash a MDL and everything for 4.1.2, or practically whatever came before mf3 (since my phone was shipped with that, I never really took the time to research what came before so I'm not sure what version is before). So, I'm thinking maybe someone has actually tried this, and thinking someone has not... Just want to find out if you can, and if you can't, why not.

Thanks :D

P.S: Wasn't sure whether to post in General or Q&A, so I posted it here :o
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Ends:
Because when your phone updated to mf3 or later it blows a q fuse that makes it impossible. It's beyond software. It's a hardware issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SkyAttacksX:
Oh ok, well in that case (sorry I'm a noob) whats a qfuse? I've searched it up and haven't really gotten anywhere with it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
From what I've read, it's a piece of hardware that only counts up. It is checked when attempting to flash old bootloaders.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] karate104:
This seems like a good place to ask this question: does flashing 4.3 MK2 blow another qfuse? And if we're already on MF3, would you recommend waiting to update and not blowing that qfuse in case that might be the key to regaining access to custom recovery? Or are we doomed forever already and I should just go ahead and take the update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
MK2 does trip it, so no MF3 downgrade. Whether or not you upgrade is really up to you: progress is not coming too quickly and unless Samsung patched a security hole we haven't even found yet in the boot loader there's a chance any MF3 exploit may carry over. I would recommend MF3 personally since you can still use Safestrap for some freedom and it'll be less difficult since they won't have Knox to work around.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SkyAttacksX:
Hmmm... so it's a piece of hardware huh... would it be possible to remove this hardware? I took apart my S3 when the screen broke to see what was going on internally so if I'm correct, you can take apart the S4, right?

EDIT : Then again, that hardware could be pretty itty bitty...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] joeybear23:
I think it would be better for someone to hack the firmware and alter it to make it "think" it has checked this piece of hardware and return a favorable response.

However, i am no developer...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SkyAttacksX:
Hmmmm I've wanted to be a dev for quite some time and I am only 14... However I did do a little noob java scripting for irc chats back when I was like 10, so if you know anyone willing to teach me the basics and give me the structure to adb and coding for android and all that, that'd be great :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] joeybear23:
This is a great community. PM some of the developers and they can probably point you in the right direction to get started.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] custommx3:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
I still have a S4, and I never did the update, so I can flash roms, but do as I am fixing to do, I am fixing to sell the wifes S4 MF3, you can still get $500-$600 and get a T-Mobile Note 3.....there are people who know nothing of flashing roms that will pay that price....quit wasting time looking for a solution as the devs that were working on it moved on to different devices....you can bet that there will be no fix for this in the near future.....keep in mind that this is NO software problem.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SkyAttacksX:
CURRENTLY CHATTING WITH SAMSUNG (SORRY FOR CAPS JUST SO EXCITED :eek:) This is what they said just now after I asked about an eFuse/qFuse. Tell me if this is invalid!!!

******: As of now, I would like to inform you that, eFuse is not available in S4 mobile.

This is what the rep has said so far for the i337, will be updating further soon :o

UPDATE BEFORE POST : I had to ask them this, as I am a newbie and I didn't want to put the burden on you guys.

Visitor: Thank you very much. If you don't mind, is there a difference between qFuse and eFuse?

******: You are welcome. I wish I could have helped you in this regard. However we in live chat have information regarding the US model devices trouble shooting only.

So I guess this could mean they aren't completely suited for these types of Q&A's? Either way, rumors did spread about eFuse stuff being involved but I was just told officially that this was incorrect. Please tell me if I am wrong? Or I might have to start a new thread on this, rather.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Samsung customer service reps have no clue about the device other than what's on their scripts. A noob on xda has 100 times the knowledge they do

My hopes :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] MattMJB0188:
Keep in mind the T-Mobile Note 3, N900T gets really bad LTE reception when using an AT&T sim. In places that had a -90dbm LTE signal on the S4 wouldn't even connect to LTE on the N900T for me. The device also got really warm when it was connected to LTE. I don't know if that's because the N900T isn't optimized for band 17, or just a way for them to discourage people from using AT&T.

Developers for the S4 have not called it quits. They are currently working on bringing safestrap to the latest MK2 update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
I'm really just wasting my time here because actually "searching" for any of the stuff in this thread would have provided answers, but I guess posting the information 1001 times is no different than the 1000 times it's already been posted.

A q-fuse involves hardware on some level, an e-fuse is software related. The AT&T S4 used q-fuses to increment firmware boot-loaders. It was incremented between MDL and MF3. It was incremented again between MF3 and MJ6. And it was increased again between MJ6 and MK2. When it is incremented, YOU CAN NOT GO BACK TO A PREVIOUS FIRMWARE...PERIOD! You can not simply change the information in aboot. Any changes invalidate Samsung's signature and without their encrypted key, a file CAN NOT be resigned.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SkyAttacksX:
I'm very much sorry for that. However, do not misinterpret me when I say this but, your post was unnecessary as someone already said qFuse was on a hardware level. I dedicated a bunch of today to S4 and the I337 model specifically. Tomorrow or Wednesday is when I'll be sending some PMs to Devs :)

Basically, thread is over with. Thanks everyone :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
No one (except me and you) even mentioned q-fuses between your last post and this post, so where was anything about q-fuses mentioned after your last post? And, you asked...

Why would you ask someone to tell you if the information you posted is invalid or wrong (not just once but twice) and then when someone tells you, say their response (that you asked for) is unnecessary?

Like I said all of this information is readily available throughout the forum so you really need to search for what has been tried and done before contacting Devs. They are generally nice, but they expect you to know the basics of what is going on before you try to contact them.
[Moto X Q&A] d3athsd00r:
I just noticed that my MX isn't seeing my 5GHz wifi.

Is it just my phone that needs to go back or has anyone else had this problem?
[Moto X Q&A] Bionic22:
I get my Netgear's 5GHz wifi to appear and can connect to it as well. I'm on the Dev Edition if that helps.

Is there a way for you to check if another device can see the 5GHz wifi?
[Moto X Q&A] T-Keith:
Check what channel your 5ghz is on. I used wifi analyzer and under channels I noticed only certain ones were checked. I changed my router to one of those and it works great.
[Moto X Q&A] someguyatx:
Your 5Ghz will have shorter range than 2.4. Are you fairly close to the router or access point?
[Moto X Q&A] d3athsd00r:
Yeah, my GS3 had no problems seeing and connecting to my 5GHZ network. Seems like it might be a hardware thing.
[Moto X Q&A] glimmer00:
My Moto X seems to do extremely well with 5ghz wifi. Way better that my former Samsung GS2. Much better range in particular, though still not as good as 2.4 ghz. However, this phone may have issues with some routers as I have problems with 2.4 ghz wifi and my netgear WNDR3700 as referenced here, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2433041&highlight=wifi+issues

I should also point out I have very little 5 ghz interference, but many neighboring 2.4 ghz access points. This is on small lots, not in an apartment so its still mostly ok.
[Moto X Q&A] 338lm:
Make sure the 5 GHz radio in enabled under Settings > WiFi > Advanced > Wifi frequency band
[Moto X Q&A] d3athsd00r:
Yeah, I might have to get my phone changed out. My laptop is connected to 5ghz but my phone won't even see it.

**Edit**

So while looking at Wifi Analyzer, I realized that my phone doesn't support anything below channel 149 on the 5GHZ range. Mine is fancy wireless
[Moto X Q&A] johnny grep:
Odd. My phone performs flawlessly on ch 36, and is much, much better than my Galaxy Note... You might have a defective unit or a bad routet.

[Moto X Q&A] d3athsd00r:
I was using channel 36 and had no issues with the rest of my devices. Must just be my phone.
[Moto X Q&A] murso74:
My phone works on 5, but only if I force it. Otherwise it chooses 2.4. 10 feet from the router
[Moto X Q&A] grenefroggie:
There is a reason for that.

When your phone scans for a WiFi network, it scans through 11 wireless channels on 2.4Ghz (in the US). When your phone scans for 5Ghz it has more channels to scan through, 13-15 depending on your router.

That combined with already mentioned reasons such as better 2.4Ghz propagation in homes/offices makes it easier for the phone to connect. Whether 2.4Ghz or 5.8Ghz, every gain increase of 3dBm doubles transmit power. In one given spot with your router in another room, your 2.4Ghz signal is typically going to be stronger. It is going to choose the 2.4Ghz because the phone scanned and saw it, and the signal was strong.
[Moto X Q&A] murso74:
I'm embarrassed I didn't think of that actually... Thanks for the refresher
[Moto X Q&A] T-Keith:
I just removed my password from my g network, the motor x's range is good enough to cover my whole house on n.
[Moto X Q&A] 640k:
yup. i ended up forgetting my 2.4 bands in favor of the 5. now i'm upset that nothing else in my house uses the 5. :)
[Moto X Q&A] Steve-x:
There is also a chance that depending on the cell band and frequency your phone is using it may disable certain wifi channels as they may interfere with each other. I know depending on certain cell/wifi/bt combos various power levels in the phone are reduced, I wouldn't doubt there are other rules in play as well.
[Moto X Q&A] grenefroggie:
In the US, 2100Mhz and 2500Mhz are the closest freqs used near a WiFi router. Channel 11 is 2462Mhz, with 3 more channels left before hitting 2.5Ghz. No carrier to my knowledge uses 5Ghz. DFS starts at 5260 to 5700.

However, BT uses 2.4Ghz, though the radio in your router likely has more output power and will force the BT to change the channel it is on.
[Moto X Q&A] Steve-x:
There is way more in play then that. When a radio transmits on 850 Mhz is also transmits a lower power carrier at 1900 Mhz (known as harmonics) They are greatly reduced in power level but if they are right beside the receiver(as the case would be in a cell phone) it can cause problems. With all the possible bands a phone can transmit and receive on there will always be combinations of harmonics that will reduce the performance of other receivers in the phone. It is also possible to have further issues from mixing products but I won't go into that here.
[Moto X Q&A] grenefroggie:
True. I didn't really think to mention harmonics, as most people do not care nor do they understand. There are many things at play, as you said, and I will be the first to say that I do not know all of them, but you raise a good point. I am still not sure if anything running on 1900Mhz would cause issues in the 2.4Ghz band, but I have seen much stranger things happen.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rhyrlix:
Hey guys, my external SD card is not being recognized in 4.4 roms.

I tested with Dtrail's CM11 and Gummy, and always using the JBX Kernel.

Sometimes the internal SD card also not recognized, but when I restart, it appears again.

It's a CM bug? Or Kernel bug?

Any fix to this?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] shreyas.kukde:
Same goes here. My internal storage won't mount. Have to clear cache and dalvik cache every time I reboot my device to get it mounted. :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vanwho:
I had the same problem right after installing CM11 Nightly. I rebooted a few times and let it settle, then it just mounted normal and has been fine every since then.
[HTC Amaze 4G] NWsoccerfan:
I've just flashed the ICS based, STOCK themed Energy ROM on my HTC Amaze and it works really well. However, it only seems to have the single stock wallpaper for all screens that are kinda' boring. Is there any way to get at least the same few wallpaper selections that was in the original ICS OEM ROM?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Sure, you can always extract from one of the stock ROMs, or just use the forum search feature for both stock and original sense 3.6 themes or wallpaper.
[HTC Amaze 4G] NWsoccerfan:
OK, but I have no idea which directory are those wallpapers expected to be. I was in a similar situation with ringtones as the Energy ROM Setup apparently lost the old ringtone directory. Fortunately I was able to force the Sound setup to take one of my own custom ringtone files as a replacement.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Ogre77497:
I've been a lurker for the last few years; never thinking I would need any help or assistance .. but I have a situation ..

My Sprint HTC One was working better than I had ever seen it just last Thursday. I was running CM11, with ART. I had an old version of SuperOne (Sense 5) backed up with TWRP. I thought I'd go ahead and load the backup, and update all the apps and then make another more recent backup before returning to CM11. I got as far holding the power button and selecting recovery. The phone locked up at that point.

It took 10 minutes to get it back to the screen where you can select fastboot, factory reset, etc. Interestingly I couldn't get into TWRP. The screen read "entering recovery" and nothing. It would just hang there.

I read that erasing the cache with fastboot might work, and it did. But when I was able to enter recovery, instead of restoring CM11, I thought, "well, maybe now it'll work", so I just rebooted. Wrong. Wouldn't boot. And, now running fastboot cache erase (or erase cache) doesn't do anything.

Now, by pressing the power button alone and holding it in I'm able to get to the fastboot, factory reset, etc screen. Went to fastboot usb, and fastboot commands work but ADB doesn't detect the device. I can't send ADB commands, but I can send ONE fastboot command. After sending any fastboot command, the phone locks up. Nothing from that point.

I tried installing a RUU. The .exe file detected the version on my phone, and everything went great until the program said it was booting to the bootloader. Locked it up. Nothing from that point.

I need help.

Thanks.

I uninstalled the HTC drivers and reinstalled them. A suggestion since ADB didn't work. And I can't get into bootloader. No difference.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Ogre77497:
Any suggestions

Any suggestions at all. I'm desperate.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Comet1966:
You can get into fastboot correct?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Ogre77497:
Fastboot - Yes .. Sorta

I can get into fastboot, but I copy anything to the phone via fastboot. I'm told "unable to write". Thanks.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elvisypi:
Ok it's probably a problem with your USB cable or USB port. Try using another PC and another cable.

If this doesn't work read some guide to properly set up ADB, uninstall all HTC stuff and install only the "naked driver" and than run the LATEST ruu. Maybe you have upgraded your firmware and can't flash older ruu's.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Ogre77497:
Will Try

I'll give that a try. I really appreciate the help. I run my whole business on that phone.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elvisypi:
Just make sure you follow my suggestions properly. It should be just the cable, and I think you don't have the right drivers for ADB. Stay calm your phone is just soft bricked. You only need to be patient and read. Naked driver here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2263822
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] itsachirpthing:
+1

I did the same thing a few weeks ago and lost recovery in the process. The naked driver did the trick. Also the thread about restoring after a gsm rom install is a great. It's not a loss. Not having an sd card in the one made things a little different for me, but I was able to get everything back. These drivers suck!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Ogre77497:
Progress

I've followed your directions. I downloaded the naked driver, and the minimal ADT. I found the correct RUU (3.04.651.2) I attempted to relock the bootloader, but I got a message .. " Status read failed <no such file or directory>" Went ahead and tried flashing the RUU (fastboot flash zip ruu.zip), and got the message "FAILED Remote: not allowed"

The phone is unlocked, CID SPCS_001, and HBOOT 1.44

I wasn't able to access TWRP recovery earlier, so I tried reflashing the img file. Failed remote: image update error. I tried erasing the cache .. "Failed remote erasing error", but now I can get into TWRP.

TWRP says I have "0" internal storage. I also can't mount system, data or cache. The choices are there but can't be selected.

I can't use ADB (device not found). and the phone isn't detected by windows. I had installed the HTC drivers, but couldn't uninstall them, so I install HTC Sync manager and then uninstalled it. The program deleted the HTC drivers when I uninstalled it. When I plugged in the HTC One (with a new cable) nothing happened, so I used the windows hardware wizard to install the naked driver. The phone still isn't detected, but again I can issue fastboot commands. Well, one fastboot command and then the phone freezes up.

If I use filemanager within TWRP there's no emulated sd card. I really think that's where my problem is. No partitions are available. And, when I use TWRP to shut down, it warns me that no OS is installed.

Any other suggestions?

I sure appreciate all your help. Thanks.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tdhite:
Are you Linux savvy at all? All this crap is far easier on Linux. I guarantee the drivers are absolute cakewalk -- there isn't a specific driver at all, just a rule to tell the kernel about the device.

I can give you the udev rule for the phone if you are sick of trying to get Windows to work. The Android SDK is also quite easy to install.

If you want to try, just install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Later versions also work, but that version is the current stable release. I can help from there.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elvisypi:
Try another cable maybe it's faulty. Uninstall all the HTC crap, run some cleaner app like ccleaner (maybe there are leftovers) and install only the naked driver. Your phone should be detected. Make sure you have the latest version of ADB. here's the latest http://click.xda-developers.com/api...n 1.1.3 Here&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13877458281136

The ruu is not to be flashed with fastboot commands, you must run the exe file

Here's the latest ruu

http://click.xda-developers.com/api....05.651 .5&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_138775039936710

-extract zip to a folder on your pc

-using fastboot, type this cmd: fastboot oem lock this will relock the bootloader

-from pc, run ARUWizard.exe from the extracted folder. it will run the RUU utility & flash back to stock
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Ogre77497:
Installing Ubuntu

Not Linux savy at all, but I'll install Ubuntu. I'll let you know when I'm able to boot into it. Thanks.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tdhite:
When you get it installed, login and open a terminal windows (it'll install Unity by default, so click on the first button on the left sidebar and search for terminal, then click on it), then type exactly the following (cut/copy/paste should do it too) noting that the first command will make you give your password since sudo requests root level access:

sudo apt-get update -y

sudo apt-get install -y wget openjdk-7-jdk

wget http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r22.3-linux.tgz

mkdir ~/bin

cd ~/bin

tar xvzf ~/android-sdk_r22.3-linux.tgz

cat >> ~/.bashrc <<EOF

if [ -d ${HOME}/bin/android-sdk-linux ]; then

PATH+=":${HOME}/bin/android-sdk-linux/tools"

PATH+=":${HOME}/bin/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools"

fi

export PATH

EOF

exit

That last command will exit the terminal. Start another and it'll read the .bashrc file and presto -- you have SDK access from everywhere.

Then, type this command:

android

That will bring up the SDK UI -- let it download/install all of the latest stuff (r22 of the tools and whatnot).

When done, close the android SDK window.

Type adb (bet it works), but fastboot will require root access (I'm not going to teach you how to get around that yet -- no problem, you just run sudo and I'll show that in a sec).

Finally, plug in your HTC One and type adb devices and let's see if it didn't just know it already.

Lemme know.
