On 4.3 security setting force closing was a kernel issue I believe or maybe that was in the Google editions? But was a kernel problem so might need source. Talk to Mr Virginia he will know

Sent from my Wicked S4!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
I had tried it. I even used their recovery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GSXeclipsePSI:
No warranty and tripped binary already.

I have Knox bootloader so I will flash and report back. I'm using hyper drive cause I'm a TW person all the way. Main reason I hated all other 4.4 roms so I'm excited to try this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GSXeclipsePSI:
OK did a full wipe.

No wifi and I got FC when goto settings and click security.

That's all I found. Other things seem to work fine.

Back to hyper drive with note 3 features for now... update fix would be great ?

Wow great. This is awsome. Very promesing. Will be trying this bad boy out.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xLordNitro:
Yeah what about this? I remember when 4.3 first came out they did a build prop tweak changing to to 4.2.2 or something and it ended up working
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
Build prop edit won't work. Once the source drops for the kernel we will be good to go.

Noticed another thing [MENTION=4073507]dannyben[/MENTION] playing videos on YouTube causes a soft reboot as well similar to what happens when uninstalling apps. Can someone else test this? Playing a video I recorded worked fine so maybe something with YouTube?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gdmlaz:
Wifi wont work, Can't uninstall any apps because it soft reboots, gps won't lock or takes a longggg time, security fc, those are the main problems I found with the leaked version...... Most of those problems have been fixed in the 9505 thread by flashing their bootloader and no modification to the kernel
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] style154:
Exactly... needs a bootloader we don't have. But kernel could fix some issues. Most the things you stated are in the known issues in op.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gdmlaz:
Doubt it will be kernel related if they fixed their issues and they don't have a modified kernel either....... seems like everything is tied down to the bootloader.... Samsung just forces you to upgrade to their newest bootloader weather u like it or not....... rather annoying..... seems like they wanna void as many warranties as they can, Doesn't bother me since I don't have insurance on my phone but annoying to the rest
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
You void your warranty. Not anybody else.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gdmlaz:
Mines been voided ever since I got the phone like I said doesn't bother me..... but a lot of people on XDA care about keeping theirs so is going to come down to not be able to flash any 4.4 tw Roms or keeping their insurance..... I always forget there are people that kiss samsung ass my bad

Make sure u are installing from the device and not the sd card same thing happened to me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] style154:
I installed from the sd card no problem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gdmlaz:
I say is a hit and miss sometimes installing from the sd card works perfectly sometimes it doesn't I read around you should always install Roms from the device itself to be on the safe side......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LoopDoGG79:
He was referring to the knox implementation in the new bootloader. If installed, there is no going back. Knox will forever be tripped and for many of us, that is unacceptable. I'm on the jump program, and I'll like to trade in my phone someday to upgrade to a new one.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gdmlaz:
Exactly what I been referring to just because it doesn't affect me, I still think about other members that will screw get screwed over with this.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
I know what he was talking about. Only difference between now and before is when you screw up your phone you cant go crying to Samsung.

I dont know why people are making such a big deal about it really. If you want to do crap Tmo's insurance covers "lost", pay for it. If you dont want to pay and want your warranty dont do crap. Cant go buy a Ford F250 take the motor out throw a cummins in it, shatter the read diff and go "Ford I want to make a warranty claim. This cummins diesel I put it in it shattered your rear differential. Please replace my truck"

End of the day, whats the issue? Everyones mad they cant lie.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LoopDoGG79:
You are comparing apples and oranges. We have always been able to revert to full stock, to appease the carrier and the insurance. Truth is, as long as you don't overclock constantly, there is ZERO physical damage done to my phone by flashing and rooting. It's ridiculous paranoia from the carrier, insurance or Samsung to think otherwise. Knox is there not for our protection, to discourage many of us from swaying from TW. Samsung wants what Apple has, to fully surround the customer, software and hardware. But, this is android, and Android is freedom. I'm paying extra to be on T-mobile 's jump program. If I do no physical damage what so ever, what should it matter if I decide to root and flash? I should be able to do an insurance claim and trade in my phone, regardless if I rooted or flashed. They sure have no problem taking my money every month.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
So knox is just one big conspiracy? Ahaha You should read up on what Knox actually is.

Okay okay you guys win. I agree I should be able to void my warranty, tell a lie and revert it and say I didnt and reak benefits too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LoopDoGG79:
I read the official explanation. IMHO, there should be two versions, one with KNOX and one without. Why force the entire user base to use it? Hell, I'll even pay extra not to have it. I've yet to hear a coherent argument why rooting or flashing should be considered a void to my warranty. Samsung and the carrier says it voids warranty but never really explain why.

Sent from my Nexus 7 2013 edition.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
There's is. It's called the i9505G.

Easy. Gives you the ability to alter what they warranty. It's not rocket science. If you want to find out, I can gladly give you a zip to flash that'll write a bunch of zeros at the end of all your partitions and render your phone useless.

If you were Samsung or a carrier would you like to lose money because some idiot flashed something that screwed up his phone? I bet you wouldn't.

Price to pay if you want to customize stuff.

I want to thank you for the time devoted into making this cwm/twrp flashable, rom and sharing it as quickly as you did with the community. It works well on my Att I337 S4 (along with the loki doki fix). Everything is functioning, except for the known issues (wifi, security settings). Battery life is good as well.

Wifi hot spot will not torn on :/ says error never seen that

Cause the WiFi drivers are not loading, the same reason WiFi dont work

and Thanks for posting this - it made me test WiFi hotspot w/ my kernel - and it failed.. gonna find out why

---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 PM ----------

missed this one

its a i9505g kernel with a custom defconfig file

95% of the changes were in defconfig

4% in ramdisk

(when compared to the i9505g "magical unicorn" kernel i released)

then 1% - a few small changes to the rom itself (few XML and config files)

all flashable - so no decompiling jar files or anything

I tried to flash this on my S4 and it stuck at the samsung screen - would not boot - can you tell me what steps you did so I can try again? Eager to try this -

I did that - tried flashing three times - completely clean flash (Wipe Data/Wipe System/Wipe Cache/Delvick) no boot - however, I just found the Magical Unicorn kernel posted here - I flashed everything again - and then flashed the kernel - and Loki-doki - and it finally booted - Whoo Hoo!:laugh:

I am very grateful - will move my SIM Card to my S4 so I can play for a while and let my note 3 rest a bit - (I always have a fall back phone in case I really brick something - :)

I already had the MJ9 modem installed. Coming from latest 4.4 beanstalk:

1). I moved all of my internal storage folder/apps that I wanted to save to my ext card.

2). (using twrp 2.3.6.1) I Wiped system, data, cache and internal storage card.

3). I rebooted recovery and selected not to install su.

4). I flashed the ROM, att CSC fix (for LTE), inverted play store and Loki doki zip files.

5). Wipe dalvik and reboot system.

You will hear the boot sound, then give the blinking Samsung logo approx 3-4 mins to go dark and the initial welcome screen will appear.

WiFi and security option (in settings) do not work. Not sure about GPS lock. I tried it in a poor signal area (after playing with system files and build prop for wifi purposes) and was not successful after 10 mins.

Also I did not have problems with SD card (except Installing apks from the cards because of no access to security setting) until I clicked the storage option in the camera settings. Re-flashed with the kernel you used and Selinux was disabled but still no access to security setting or wifi.

I wish you and other success.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mocsab:
I looked for the CSC fix you mentioned but can't find it ? Do you have a link?

To be honest, all of the drama and discussion about commonly known matters that would warrant infractions were ignored this one time.

Be warned that if there is any more discussion about imagined or real GPL violations, XDA hate, banned member or banned member works, etc - or junk about this accusation or that while in this thread, will result in immediate infractions.

And, use of PM to violate the above, or all XDA posting rules is also not allowed, nor is the use of masking techniques to bypass the profanity filter, so all whose posts were deleted, consider yourself fortunate.

Yep, new leak but comes with the same old problems.

First i extracted the files and then recompiled only the boot, system, cache and persdata files using cygwin (Thanks once again Shinyside for the help) and then flashed via odin.

this Preserved my custom recovery and root status (though i had to flash a new supersu from sd card).

Also all of my data on device was preserved.

However the usual problems still persisted

1. Samsung Keyboard FC (solved by restoring titanium backup and disabling all the knox features and then restoring the keyboard of choice, in my case swype)

2. While doing the above, i got the usual "Google might verify bla bla bla", and was initially hopeful that the security settings FCs were done, sadly it was still present.

3. Still no Wifi (wasn't really expecting any change)

4. Any attempts to restore any system data Using Titanium backup gave me a serious case of "unfortunately the process android.process.acore has stopped"

So i have backed up this one and restored my Danvh backup. Waiting for more progress.

There was a discussion about this in the 9505 forums in friedrichs rom of the leaked version. It sounds like he got it to work if dirty flashing his 4.4 over his 4.3. Sounds weird, but you may want to read up on it or just wait till an official version is out for that feature
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Wuby986:
Yep the trick works pretty good by now on FNA1. Theese are the steps:

Flash the kk,

set it down as usual,

go back to recovery and full CLEAN install a 4.3 rom as you like,

Now DIRTY flash the 4.4 on top and you should have the lockscreen camera shortcut ;)

This worked on previous version of the echoerom, but i guess is the same if you use another.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ChadBFlores:
I guess I must have done something right because I finally got it to work after tripple wiping the device, tripple odining it, re wiping twice and flashing IPBGHD_XXUFNA5_V2_4.4.2. What about security settings, anyone who has flashed "that rom" says that its working, except with me it isnt working, has anyone else had this issue? Im thinking it must be a varrient issue if others are having the same issue.
