Seems my question has been overlooked. I looked at videos and multiple forums and can't find the steps to actually typing in the hashcode. I'm sorry if it's completely trivial, but I'm really unsure how to enter the code into adb. I got the command prompt to work, and my device is communicating properly. I'm just not sure how to properly enter the shell.

I can't do this with a Mac because I need odin right? Bleh!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scryan:
try adb -d shell

adb is the program, android debug bridge

-d tells it to connect to the only connected device. If you cant help but have multiple devices connected you maye have to do "adb device" to get the serial for your phone then adb -s serial shell instead to send the command to a specific device.

shell tells adb to open a remote command prompt for the phone on the computer.

Odin Tar Image Download

Just got my Verizon S4 with Me7 and wanna upgrade. My only problem is I have slow and unstable Internet which has prevented me from downloading the odin full wipe file.

Can anyone provide an alternative (maybe temporarily) where "resume" is possible?

thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] masoftheund:
Nevermind....managed to download. Upgrading now. Will post results
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] masoftheund:
Success

So, Upgrading from ME7 to MJ7 went with no hitches.

However installing Hyperdrive for MJ7 was not so easy.

My first 10+ installs resulted in a blank screen upon reboot. Someone mentioned in a related post about it being a result of "losing root access".

Not sure if this is correct, but I did the following (those with the blank screens may wanna try) ;

confirmed that I have the right MJ7 safestrap HyperDrive file (not the MK2)

recheck md5 after copying to sdcard (found out my card had problems handling the large file size)

rerun saferoot

uninstalled recovery via safestrap

reinstalled recovery via safestrap

reboot into recovery

set up on slot 2 (I'm guessing this is not relevant, but you never know)

load hyperdrive zip and mj7 modules zip

install

Not sure which of these solved the blank screen problem.....might run more installs to verify

Decaturbob, should this guide be updated to show both mk2 and mj7 and link to Odin 3.09?

All I know is this guide seems pretty popular since there are a lot of SS users now and have been since ME7....

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] t0adman:
Hi decaturbob - just curious if you had a chance to update. I'm on ME7 and looking to embark on this journey so I can keep flashing Hyperdrive updates. I'm going through withdrawal stuck on RLS10!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] robn30:
Well I read the "this will erase all your data with no chance of recovery part", but I didn't realize that would apply to Titanium Backups. After upgrading to this ROM all my backups were useless. They would install but all the apps that were modified would just keep locking up. Why does it do that? Is it something to do with the Kernal differences or is the ROM that much different that the data corrupts it if you restore your backups with Titanium Backup. I have never experienced this before. I've even used backups from my Droid Razr to install on my Galaxy S4 when I bought it and had no problems. So what causes this with this MJ7 4.3 variant?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
It had something to do with the SELinux being in enforcing mode. Go to the play store and get this TB Restore Fixer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.viper.tbrestorefixerfree
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] robn30:
I tried using that App but I still have the same issue. It said it fixed the issue but it didn't. As soon as I restore an App, either data only or app+data, it immediately crashes when I try to open it. If I then uninstall it and reinstall from the Play Store, it works fine. Kind of sucks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
Total clean install and restore data only via tibu...I never had any issues in nearly 4 yrs of flashing roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] robn30:
So if I understand correctly, I should do a clean install and then do a data only restore from TiBu? To be honest the first thing I tried was to install my backups from an update.zip I created before upgrading to MJ7 and Hyperdrive 14. I didn't try restoring the updates on the stock rooted MJ7 ROM. I tried it using Hyperdrive RLS 14. So maybe I will try to restore one of the apps that has been giving me a problem on RLS 14 and see if it is RLS 14 that is not liking the TiBu restore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
I have never tried restoring from update.zip but I always have fresh install and restore app+data then run the tb fix app. Haven't had any problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] robn30:
What is TB fix app? Is that the app that the other person already told me to use. BTW when I boot into the stock MJ7, TiBu works perfectly. It seems it is completely broken in Hyperdrive. It seems I may need to perform a reflash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Yes I posted a link earlier. This process has worked for me since RLS12. Probably need to clean wipe and flash for a good clean install first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] robn30:
No joy. I completely removed Rom Slot 1, rebuilt it, wiped it fully (Factory Reset, Dalvik, and Cache), Re-installed Hyperdrive, installed MJ7 modules, rebooted into system for Hyperdrive, let the ROM settle for 20 minutes or so, then rebooted again. After all that I re-installed all my apps, rebooted again, then opened TiBu and tried to restore one of my apps, connectbot to be specific. I then tried to open the app and it crashes with the Unfortunately, ConnectBot has stopped error. I tried another app and the same thing occurs. I tried the TB fixer and that did nothing to fix the problem. As I already said, if I boot into the stock rooted MJ7 Rom, I can restore app data all day and it works perfect. Does it have anything to do with the fact I am running MJ7 with Safestrap and Hyperdrive RLS 14 which is based on MK2. Should I be running RLS 11 or 12? I am a little put off by this, as this is the first time in many years that I have had any issue with a ROM working with TiBu. I know my backups are fine because they restore on the stock MJ7 perfectly. Any other thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Not sure man. I'm running the same setup as you except I flashed RLS14 to the stock slot. But that shouldn't make any difference.

Since I flash to stock side, I wipe system, cache, data, and dalvik cache.

Then install RLS14 and also tell it to wipe data and cache from aroma installer.

After RLS14 install I unchecked reboot option and make sure I flash my mj7 modules.

Then reboot, let it settle.

Login to Google and go to market to install TiBu and TB Restore Fixer.

Startup TiBu and restore all missing apps + data.

Before even attempting to open any other app I run the fixer app.

No reboots in between anything.

After I run the app everything runs perfectly.

I'm not sure what the difference is between what I do and what you are doing but maybe the way I do it can help figure out what is going on with your TiBu restores.

Sorry I couldn't be any more help though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] robn30:
How do you do the restore all missing apps + data. Under Restore I see all missing apps + system data, is that what you are referring to? Don't you have to manually install all your apps first from the play store or an .apk backup? TiBu will not show anything is available for restore unless I manually install the apps first, then it will show my backup status when I open TiBu. Before installing them TiBu shows zero for restore of anything. Other than that I did everything the same as you except running from the stock slot, I didn't even know you could do that. Of course that defeats the purpose of Safestrap in having the stock ROM in case something goes wrong. Do you not use Safestrap, but instead use CWM or TWRP? Thanks for the help, unfortunately I'm at a loss at this point. BTW do your apps crash if you don't run the TB fixer?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
I am running SafeStrap but I have a good backup of the stock side if anything goes wrong.

When I first install TiBu from the play store, I go to the preferences so I can set where my backups are stored (I store them on my ext-sdcard)

After setting that, TiBu restarts itself then I select the square with a check mark at the top right of the screen which pulls up options for batch actions.

Scroll down to the restore section and there is an option to run the Restore missing apps with data option.

To the right of it there is a number that will tell you how many apps you have in backups that aren't currently installed.

Select run and there is a list of your apps that are in your backup folder.

All of the apps are selected by default but you can uncheck any of them you don't want to install.

Once you have made your selections just tap the green check mark in the top right of the screen.

I always forget so I will throw this out there: go to Settings -> Security and uncheck the box by Verify apps.

Otherwise it will give an accept or deny box for every app you restore from TiBu.

Also yes my apps do some crazy FC and take forever to quit screwing around if I only restore apps+data without running the Fixer app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] robn30:
I don't have the option under Restore that you are talking about. I have the the restore missing apps + system data, but it always says zero. How do do your backups? Do you simply choose backup all user apps or do you choose something else. There has to be one little thing that is messing this up, but I have never had to deal with this before. This is a bit ridiculous.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Yeah. When I do my backups I open TiBu, hit menu button, select Preferences and scroll down to "Backup folder location"

Like I said I have mine go to a TitaniumBackup folder on my extSdCard.

Once the location is set TiBu will restart. Select the box in the upper right corner (See screenshot just in case) and select "Backup all user apps"

Again it opens a list of all installed apps where you can omit certain apps if you want.

Then press the green check mark in the upper right corner.

It should be running a backup of all installed apps and their data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] robn30:
Well I'm flashing again. I'm going to try it exactly as you said. I hope I see a number next to the missing apps + data field. If not then I am totally confused by this process. As I've said, this is the first time I have ever had any issues with TiBu, although it not TiBu but the ROM IMHO. If it works under the stock MJ7 then switching to RLS 14 should not give me these issues. I even verified my backups and they checked out with 0 errors. So I will give it this one last shot and then it's back to the stock ROM if RLS 14 will not play properly. I have way to many apps to keep playing this game.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
have you checked the md5 of your RLS14 download file? just a thought.

Also if you want I can make a quick video showing exactly how I do it if you have any doubts or concerns
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] robn30:
So I reflashed and did everything as you have said. I even saw the number next to the missing apps + data. I got a few errors while it was installing a few of the apps but I acknowledged them and continued on. It finished and I immediately ran the fixer app, it said it fixed stuff, and still 90% of my restored apps still crash upon trying to open them. RLS 14 is not stable and others in the forum have mentioned issues with TiBu. So I am giving up on it for now and will go back to stock begrudgingly. I might try RLS 12 and see if it's any better. I love Hyperdrive but I need it to work and TiBu is such a huge part for anyone that wants to try custom ROMS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
That is strange. I haven't had any problems with mine.

Sorry I couldn't help you any further.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] robn30:
I did check the md5 and it was good. I think your explanation was fine and I have used TiBu for quite some time with this being the only issue so far. It's the ROM I am sure and I will re verify the md5 again, but I think it is just not working for some folk, me being one. Everything else about the ROm was great, it's just the restore that is killing me. I had no stability issues in the 2 days I had been running it but the app restore is a deal breaker for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
it appears you are not the only one. look in this thread.

this person seems to have gotten it working and provides links to necessary files.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] robn30:
Awesome! I'm going to give this a shot as soon as I get home. I'm crossing my fingers that it will work! I will report back. Thanks for the heads up.

Sent from my Galaxy S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] robn30:
Worked perfectly!!! Thank you for finding that post. As soon as I extracted that file to /system/bin and set the permissions to 755, it began working with each TiBu app I restored. I am back in business! Hopefully Sbreen94 will fix this issue soon cause Hyperdrive is awesome. I am going to run this release for a while and if it holds up well I will donate again for continued development of this ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Great glad we finally got it taken care of. :good::highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fuzzywarbles:
I am having an issue that I was hoping someone could assist with. I have rooted devices before, galaxy s3, motorola droid x, and the original droid and have never had any issues. I have the verizon model I545 galaxy s4 and followed the instructions in this guide including matching checksums to verify downloads. Everything went fine and I was using my hyperdrive ROM phone for 4 days. I was able to boot into safestrap recovery and was having no issues. Today I was in a rural area and my phone powered off due to my battery draining.

Upon plugging it into a charger I found that it would just show the empty battery sign and then reset and show that symbol again. I was unable to get it to boot properly. I used the volume up key and saw the blue text "booting to recovery" but then it just power cycled and came back to the battery sign again. I tried all combinations I could think of but couldn't get anything to work.

I then used ODIN to install the stock ROM and the install finished correctly but I am still having the same issue.

Going to try Kies recovery mode next.

Has anyone else had this issue?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] underwurlde:
hmmmmmmmm

Hi,

Of course I've not done this, but theoretically I guess it can be done:

First off I'd install a neat little program called VM Net Browser: It's basically Explorer and some :wink:

Then try something like:

Start > Settings > Bluetooth

Create a new bluetooth partnership with phone #2

Once created, on the Xda, tap & hold the new phone partnership name in the Devices (tab)> edit: and tick 'Serial Port' under 'Select Services to use from this device'. Hit refresh...

Perhaps now it will show up in VM Net Browser.

Pure guess work of course but that's a possible avenue to take.

I have since dicovered (even) more issues with regards Bluetooth.

Once you crack it by installing the correct WIDCOMM Bluetooth drivers on your PC, the rest shoud follow.

The Major discovery made was with regards an obscure Microsoft 'tweak' that allows you to see something called 'Ghosted' ports. Also, it was a MAJOR pain in the arse getting hold of LATEST generic WIDCOMM drivers.

Anyway I will update the original stuff above, so look for a big change there in the next couple of mins..

This thread only applies to people running the Kitkat update, so please only post here if you are and want to help contribute to xda.

I will give instructions below so you can pull you system and boot.img and upload it so i can make a flashable.zip for everyone

and possibly a custom rom.

its actually very easy to do, so don't be put off if you are new to this stuff (i made a script to do most of it for you) :)

1.)

Download this small "adb and fastboot" package > link , extract it to a folder on your desktop,

2.)

Turn on usb debugging from developer settings on phone,

if you have no developer settings, goto: settings/about phone

keep pressing on build number until it says you are a developer, press back and developer settings should be at the bottom.

3.)

From the folder you just extracted double click "DoubleClickMe.bat" look for a popup on your phone and press accept.

4.)

Wait while it does its thing, and when it finishes you will have the whole system dump in the folder on your desktop.

5.)

Now to get the boot.img you will need to be rooted, continue where the system dump finished

by copying & pasting each line of code into the box

adb shell

Press enter

su

Press enter, and make sure the display on your phone is turned on so you can accept the superuser request

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p31 of=/sdcard/boot.img

Press enter, the boot.img will be on your sdcard

How to Excluded my IMEI in the file?

Uploading to solidfiles as per your provided link.

Seem to be a long way to go.

Meanwhile, Im transfer the Zip onto my Nexus4 to see if I can upload it faster using my cell rather than my home internet
[Moto G General] tillaz:
no personal information is in the system partition, not even sure where the IMEI is stored but its definitely not the system,

think it has its own hidden partition with the serial number etc.
[Moto G General] aeonlinux:
Thank you for your efforts.

As for the IMEI, it's not stored in the system per se, its in your efs folder, which is a system folder in the internal partition. I could be wrong, but flashing usually clears the contents in the efs folder, so it shouldn't be an issue.
