Nice, seeing as XU is only 512mb but dual core gives it a boost

Believe it or not I have an Xperia Tipo;

android: 4.0.4 (stock)

Kernel: stock

Ram:512mb

Processor: 800mhz (SINGLE)

Gpu: Adreno 205

And I ran it smooth on everything LOW but resolution 100%, I found it absolutely amazing and totally unexpected xD
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zeyad xu:
wowwwwwwwww

xperia play didn't handle the game

wow tipo is a miracle
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] cavaniii:
Yh it was crazy and to confirm it I even finished a couple of missions and played for 3 hours straight, no crash nothing

I have tried other games also such as Modern Combat 4, need for speed most wanted and they also worked flawlessly on Xperia Tipo

I (for the FUN of it) will try running GTA San Andreas on Xperia X8 <-- this is absolutely impossible I know but worth a try xD

Xpera X8:

Android: 2.3.7 (custom -minicm7)

Kernel: nAa (custom)

Clock speed: stock 600mhz (for the sake of this max it out possibly to 721mhz or something

Ram: 168mb <-- 105mb free mostly

This will be impossible but I will use Chainfire and maybe afew other tweaks

I know it won't work hhh

---------- Post added at 09:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 PM ----------

To add: I will try memory swap and to give some info on xperia x8 their is a custom 4.0.4 & 4.1.2 I have tried both + people have gotten 4000+ antutu benchmark with this device
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] cavaniii:
You got it working on x8? I find it quite difficult to believe :S
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] cavaniii:
I did xD that was no sweat, I ran gta 3 on x8 without overclock, no Chainfire..nothing just 2.3.7 GB

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
DO NOT FLASH IF YOUR ON MDK AND WISH TO RETAIN YOUR CUSTOM RECOVERY! THIS WILL REMOVE THE LOKI EXPLOIT!

This is a new update for SCH-1545 taking users to VRUEMK2. This is the stock factory image. Also, If you need to go back to stock for whatever reason and this Odin tar doesn't work I suggest using the VRUEMJ7 factory image instead. VRUAMDK, VRUAME7, and VRUEMJ7 stock Odin tars contained 14 partitions over which they would write over, VRUDMI1 wrote over 13 partitions, VRUEMJ7 also contained a pit file. However I've included both the full-wipe and no-wipe Odin tar.md5's for VRUEMK2 and in the no-wipe VRUEMK2, only 12 partitions are wrote over because it doesn’t contain persdata.img.ext4 or sbl1.mbn. The full-wipe (KIES factory image) VRUEMK2 Odin tar contains 14 partitions and its own PIT file as well and will completely wipe your device and re-partition it to factory stock

For the sake of simplicity, I've also included a mirror to the MJ7 "emergency" Full-wipe Odin tar as well. Download it here

Also incase you have MDK here's a link to the full-wipe Odin tar Download it here

@Tomsgt made a great video of the process that can be viewed here

Information:

1. ROOT METHOD here

2. Download Odin 3.09 here (Note: Bootloader = BL , PDA = AP , Phone = CP)

Download: No-Wipe SCH-I545_VZW_1_20131212083410_49ap8w990g.zip

Download: Mirror

Download: Mirror

MD5: c1b8a30d6071f591cc43e85dfc2dd91b

Directions:

No-Wipe

1. Unzip the file and you should have a tar.md5

2. Select the tar.md5 in Odin under PDA (or AP if using Odin 3.09) and keep Odin's default settings

3. Click start and wait for it to say Pass!

Full Wipe ( AKA Emeregency Repair)

1. Unzip the file and you should have a ALL_I545VRUEMK2_I545VZWEMK2_1937946_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

2. Select the tar.md5 in Odin under PDA (or AP if using Odin 3.09) and keep Odin's default settings

3. Extract the PIT file from your phone or Odin tar, also I've uploaded it here just in case.

4. Put the PIT file in PIT and load the the Odin tar.md5 in PDA (or AP if using Odin 3.09) then click start.

I just sold my Note 3 and went back to an S4. Thanks for posting. Now, I can root and get back to normal haha : )
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FastEddie422:
What are the dangers of using the no-wipe file? I'm doing this for my gf's phone so I'm not used to the S4, sorry. The phone is currently on ME7, I had previously rooted it and de-bloated the stock rom. I've already unrooted in preparation for updating to MK2. If I can preserve her files in the process that would be great but I'm not sure if my having de-bloated some of the unnecessary system apps will cause any problems. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
No-wipe reinstalls the contents of the stock ROM, but does not delete your persistent data or applications. Anything that you deleted from the stock ROM is restored and anything you "froze" is defrosted. In most cases, that's enough to let the OTAs complete.

Dangers? If you unplug during rooting, lose power, or something else happens, the flash can fail. Those circumstances are usually recoverable because it's damn near impossible to overwrite the bootloader so there's always something there to help you recover from an oops.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Where does it fail at? Download Odin 3.07 then try again also make sure the md5 is right. Otherwise try the full wipe or MJ7 no wipe/full wipe
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nickknaack:
This will not work for me. :/ The PIT file uploads to Odin fine but when I try to bring in any of the other files, it gives me an "invalid binary" on each one. Bad download?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
I'm probably going to delete the alternative emergency repair directions because it requires you to use Heimdall and to extract the files one by one. The normal full wipe didn't work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nickknaack:
Okay, tried the full wipe and it worked great! Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunz.jones:
This worked to get me to mk2 from me7 without a hitch. Thank you muchly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rockingondrums:
Edit: Fixed. Just kept trying. Tried all the way back to ME7. Did MK2 before a bunch of times, maybe 5. Finally, on that last try, it made it past system. Woot!

---------

I could use some assistance. My friend's VZW S4 was rooted on MI7. I had done that for him. He wanted to update, so I downloaded the MK2 no-wipe odin file from this thread. I checked the MD5 on the zip (it was good), extracted the tar file, and attempted to flash. At first, Odin kept telling me the phone was being disconnected/reconnected. The cable was good, but it failed regardless. On further attempts to flash the tar, it would get to the end of the system img and fail. I was trying to go from MI7 to MK2, should it shouldn't be incompatible. The MD5 was good. I tried to re-odin MI7, but it's failing with " [auth] ". I'll try going all the way back to ME7 and OTA'ing up to MK2 THEN re-rooting, but in the mean time: how could I have avoided this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djaquez21:
So I have the full wipe ODIN downloaded and I'm using v3.09.. Do I still need to extract the .pit file if I downloaded it seperately or can I just load the .pit file and the .tar file and be fine to start the process?

No-Wipe

Hi Surge1223

I had a problem with my S4 MK2 SS so I needed to do the No-Wipe Odin.

now everything went fine but when the OS started it keeps restarting and it stops at the Verizon animation screen.

What do you think is the problem?

Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
I'd start with doing a factory reset, but the reality is that if you're in that state, then you should just bite the bullet and flash a full-wipe ROM image.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sczar:
Thanks k1mu,

I did that three time but no luck. So I had to do the full-wipe and It worked fine.

full wipe didnt work for me. tried with both 3.07 and 3.09. i really just want to get safestrap off my phone and i tried the terminal commands but i got an error or 2 so i dont think it worked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Your message appears to have been cut off before you provided the detail that would allow someone to tell you what went wrong.

For example, what model and build are you on (maybe that's provided up-thread somewhere, but why ask people search for the detail?) what did you try to flash, what went wrong, what was the indication on the phone and on your PC? Did you verify the download's MD5 before flashing it?

When trying a manual removal, what errors did you get?

Once you post the rest of the info, perhaps one of us can help you. Without that detail, there's no way to help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] circsmonky:
well as this is the verizon s4 area i have the verizon s4. and running the full wipe the only error i got was fail. i did forget to mention mk2 i followed all directions in this thread. as for asking to search for detail. i thought that one would assume me saying the full wipe didnt work here in ther verizon s4 area of the fourms i thought those facts didnt need to be restated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Fail is usually accompanied by a reason like "secure check fail: partition name" and by more detail we mean we need a reason for the fail or at least an Odin log.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Since there's no additional information available, then there's no way for anyone to help you.

Your best bet at this point is to use the Verizon recovery assistant or Kies to flash stock.

Check the md5, then uninstall any kies and samsunt drivers. Reboot and reinstall samsung drivers (but not kies) finally run odin as admin and load the pit file in odin at the same time as the no wipe odin tar.

I am currently using Hyperdrive RLS9.1 - an ME7 build. Can the files and instructions in this thread be used to restore a completely stock image? I need to send my device in for a warranty replacement (hardware issue).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
What bootloader version is on your phone?

If it's MDK, you're better off flashing a MDK stock image. However, you can flash this over MDK, which will lock the bootloader. That would be sad.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] baniels:
The baseband says i545VRUAMDK.

I don't really care about locking the bootloader - I'm sending this one back when I get the replacement. I just don't want them to charge me $250 for having modified the software.

Yep as k1mu said. Also in the OP of this post you can find full-wipe Odin tars for MDK, MJ7 and MK2 (sorry no love to MI1) I've highlighted the relevant parts in the OP green while highlighting the specific builds fuchsia (pink-like, think magenta or see below).

Hello,

I have a Verizon S4, it is not completely dead, but almost, cause it reebots in a loop and does not go through the Samsung Galaxy S4 Screen and sometimes it goes into the download mode options (volume up to download or down to cancel) by itself. I have flashed both Full wipe versions (MK2 and MJ7) since I have no idea which base the phone used to have, but without luck, it just keeps rebooting after the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
That's pretty bad. Can you get into recovery mode? It may be worth trying a factory reset to see if it clears things up.

If you've done the Emergency recovery in the OP and it didn't help, it really sounds like a broken phone. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
I've always wanted to ask.. When is it appropriate to use the Pit file in Odin along with say the full wipe? I realize that from what I've seen most if not all the stock Tar files on here do a complete Re-Partition. Just I've read of a few people on here using a full wipe file from Surges post along with the Pit file and that brought their phones back to life when using just the full wipe did not.

Just wondering... I've never needed the Pit file for my S4 but back when I had my RAZR it was needed. Maybe that would help this other user?!?

Sorry for my lack of knowlege, ODIN is a ROM, ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Usually it's the stock firmware that your phone came with when new. This thread here contains just that. There are some custom ROMs that can be installed through Odin... But you won't see them being called stock firmware, with full wipe and no wipe options.

Hope that helps ya

Edit

To be clear Odin is the app we use on our computers to flash the stock firmware, as well as modems, and recoveries among other things.

For the Verizon S4 , unless your a dev of sorts, you're probably only going to use Odin for the stock firmware.

ODIN is a software tool to flash ROMs from your PC via USB cable to the phone. Google Odin Samsung.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jpinsl:
After I typed my last entry, I set the phone face down on my tablet. It was so slippery, it dropped about 2 ft onto the floor and the screen no longer works. I followed the video referenced above to get it into ODIN download mode and wipe it. It's only 7 weeks old so I may be able to get VZW to replace it under warranty.

If not, Costco Wireless has it for $50 shipped new with another renewal. I'd go for the S5 but it's not yet rooted and I really need WiFi tether.

Difference in Factory reset and useing odin?

Hey Surge so I'm trying to use the full wipe (actually tried both) but I keep getting fail (auth). I tried to load the PIT and PDA but it keeps Failing (like 20 times). I saw you mention uninstalling kies and drivers but I'm not sure how. Because it failed I can't reboot or anything, whenI do a prompt saying, Firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and retry. Any ideas? I'm running MK2 SS.

Some part of your firmware isn't stock, are you in the camp of users that attempted to upgrade to the kitkat leak? If so I have a fix for that I'll post tomorrow hopefully (hard part is making it user friendly), I also got that screen when I attempted to downgrade, but was able to downgrade and fix the issue. By the way, even though you get the Kies firmware screen you can still manually boot into Odin/download mode
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shindiggity:
Yeah I tried the 4.4.2 but it didn't take I'm still on 4.3. I think I flashed Phoenix Rom while I was still on SS 3.70 and it corrupted stuff. I was able to restore a backup but I couldn't make phone calls and no sound was coming from the phone so I figured I better odin back to stock. Is your fix for going from 4.4.2 back to 4.3, if so that's not me I'm still on 4.3. I've tried several times to odin and I keep getting that error, how do uninstall drivers?
