Thanks for the modules, about to flash!

---------- Post added at 03:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 AM ----------

Ran into a small problem. After flashing the modules on reboot shows optimizing apps 283 of them. So right away i knew there was a problem. Did it a second time and rebooted before flashing modules and all worked. Went in to safestrap and flashed modules and the same problem. Any suggestion?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Optimizing apps isn't really a problem. I think I saw that too. Did wifi work after it booted up?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] malanets1990:
Yea but everything started crashing. Had to shut down and try again, but no luck so far. Trying a third time now.

Ok just got it to work on the third try. No idea why it was messing up. But all good now wifi and tethering working. Thank you very much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] pr3dicament:
What kind of tethering app are you using? I'm still using the old exploit that uses the built-in "Mobile Hotspot" .. let me know what your settings are, I really do need tethering and I don't want to mess that up. I'm still grabbing all of the necessary files to upgrade and I want to make sure that I can still tether.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Glad you got it working.

I've tried the modules on a few different ROMs and no issue so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] malanets1990:
Yea maybe it was just a glitch. Thanks for the modules. Working great now.

---------- Post added at 03:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 AM ----------

Actually I dont have any workarounds. I have the Goldfinger rom installed and after flashing the correct modules tethering works like a charm. If im not mistaken it is probabably build in to the rom. Sorry i wish i could be more helpfull but mine just works with the current rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] pr3dicament:
Yeah I'm looking for tethering workarounds as we speak.. I'm also still on MK2 so I am trying to maintain that boot loader by using the "Neutered I337UCUFNB1 Full Odin tar" method so I can give it a try and if I don't like it, I can revert back---hopefully. Since I'm on MK2 there's a lot of stuff that I have to do if I want to have any shot at reverting. I honestly like the stock samsung roms most (after I freeze most of the crap that it comes with), so that's what I'm basically doing here. I'm not asking for help.. it's just a lot of stuff that I have to do and which update to grab FIRST in order to be able to revert at some point. I have to update eventually--can't stay on MK2 forever. I'm downloading that Deadly Venom KitKat Magic Tool.. safestrap kit.. all sorts of crap so I can also use Safestrap and have it be compatible, as well. ;x I appreciate all of their work but I have to back up a lot of stuff to my box so I can put it back on there.. back up my phone logs and text messages too. That also takes awhile. The backing up and then bringing it back is what is such a pain for me.. even though I have a lot of time on my hands.

Step by step instruction guide to Odin back to NB1 and then update to NJ4, including links to all the files you need, are here...

THREAD UPDATE

INDEX - updated sections with NJ4 info

KITKAT ROMs - added NJ4 ROM install instructions

KITKAT ROMs - added NJ4 100% Stock Rooted ROM, Insane Hybrid V6 (4.4.4), CarHD v33.2 (4.4.4)

Some observations on the new NJ4 update

1. NJ4 can be updated in the same manner you used on NI1. After odin back the NJ4 kernel, safestrap app will force close when you open it, but...

-- Safetrap menu is still there on reboot and works fine.

-- Once you flash a ROM, no more force closes IF you choose to reinstall the app.

2. Tested modules...

NJ4 bootloader and NJ4 Kernel -- flashed NJ4 module... wifi worked

NJ4 bootloader and NI1 Kernel -- flashed NI1 module... wifi DID NOT work

NJ4 bootloader and NC1 Kernel -- flashed NC1 module... wifi DID NOT work

NJ4 bootloader and NI1 Kernel -- flashed NJ4 module... wifi DID NOT work (expected, but tested anyways.)

one step further...

NC1 bootloader and NC1 Kernel -- flashed NC1 module... wifi worked

NC1 bootloader and NJ4 Kernel -- flashed NJ4 module... wifi DID NOT work

NC1 bootloader and NI1 Kernel -- flashed NI1 module... wifi DID NOT work​

Therefore, it would appear that the modules need to match BOTH bootloader AND kernel. This is important to remember when updating since you are Odin'ing the NC1 kernel to root and install safestrap... don't forget to Odin the NJ4 kernel when you are done or else wifi won't work.

3. NJ4 kernel is compatible with the 4.4.4 T-Mobile kernel. This means if you flash a 4.4.4 ROM, the connectivity issues are gone and USB file transfer works.

4. NJ4 base uses can flash BOTH 4.4.4. and 4.4.2 ROMs without issue. (NB1 through NI1 are welcome to flash 4.4.4 ROMs, but you will not be able to use USB file transfer and you may experience connectivity issues.)

5. GPE for safestrap ROMs work the same way... no improvement with the 4.4.4 base. :(

Happy flashing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] SocratesDemise:
The guide is great, thank you.

I am trying to load a custom rom from NJ4. The only problem I am having is installing the modules.

I keep getting the message: E:Unable to open zip file.

I have tried downloading the ATT_NJ4_modules.zip several times as well as extracting them and re-compressing the, using bot the built in windows zip utility and 7zip.

Any Suggestions?

Without this the rom loads up but i cannot enable wifi.

Thank you.

Fixed:

I had copied the file directly to my sd card. this for some reason made it not work when I tried to open it from safestrap.

I haven't used ROM slots on the new safestrap, but remembering how it worked on JellyBean...

When flashing over ROM Slot, deleting and recreating the ROM slot with default partition sizes has the best results.

[MENTION=2982241]guut13[/MENTION] Followed yours/others instructions to the letter and successfully updated from NB1 to NJ4. When on stock my about device said 4.4.4. Just curious if you know, I flashed Goldeneye 45 over my stock like back on NB1, and my about device now says I have 4.4.2. Is that b/c the ROM I'm using is a 4.4.2 but in reality, my device truly is a 4.4.4?? When I check the bootloader version in terminal emulator, it says NJ4. What are your thoughts?? Thanks again friend!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Thanks. Yes. That version comes from the ROM. I bet you could change it in the build.prop.

I think everything comes from the ROM (/system files) except...

Baseband (modem)

Kernel

Update - Yes. the version is changed in the build.prop... ro.build.version.release

[MENTION=2982241]guut13[/MENTION] one more question friend - I noticed now during reboots, the Samsung logo with unlocked padlock and Custom is now showing up, which it didn't when I was n NB1 with GE 38/earlier versions. I've always had the Fake System status checked in Wanam to make it "official" but obviously its not working or something else happened. Any guesses or suggestions to get that off and back to normal? Thanks!

Update - Resolved as below.

I have an NB1 4.4.2 galaxy s4 ATT phone. I followed the guide, rooting with towelroot, then installing safestrap 3.75 for recovery. I tried flashing Eclipse and then Shostock, but both times I was unable to get wi-fi working. I tried installed the NC1 and module, but wi-fi still didn't work. I tried reinstalling the rom, but with NB1 modules this time, and the wi-fi was working initially, but when I restarted the phone, I couldn't connect to wi-fi anymore.

Also, whenever I try to power off or restart the phone, the phone gets stuck at the "Power off, shutting down" pop up with a spinning circle and vibrates ever minute or so. Does anybody know what I might be doing wrong?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] pr3dicament:
This is exactly what I've wanted to know. I still have the MK2 bootloader and a stock rooted Rom that lets me use NB1 with the MLD bootloader, which means I can revert back to MK2 if needed, obviously. I wanna know if I could actually get to NJ4 and still have MLD as the boot loader.

---------- Post added at 02:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

.. and I mean the Samsung stock rom, preferably pre-rooted.. not any of the other stuff.. the official AT&T rom so I can just freeze a bunch of apps and see how it works.. NB1 didn't work out for me so well.. something was up with the lock screen, I couldn't use a pin or password to lock it.. basically i couldn't use anything aside from a pattern, which I found to be awfully strange and saw no reports of anything like that with it.. I don't know. So I went back to MK2 since I was on MLD at the time. Otherwise, it wasn't too bad. I gotta say.. not much of a difference, though. Just a couple more optional things. I only use stock roms, though.. stock and stock pre-rooted, preferably, like I said earlier in this post.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bennyboy78:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
No clue. I only have experience with locked bootloaders. :( I'd assume you'd flash 4.4.4 ROMs the same way you flashed 4.4.2 and the other versions ROMs before that.

You must be on NJ4 base to flash 4.4.4 Touchwiz based ROMs. All other users may experience connectivity and USB file transfer issues due to the incompatibility of the kernels.

Just to be clear though, you are not using MLD with NB1. You are using MLD to flash kitkat ROMs. Hence the fact that you are flashing the MLD modules.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] kevinco1:
You can flash Touchwiz/GE 4.4.4 ROMs in Safestrap for all bases NB1 and up. There's no need for Safestrap if you have an unlocked bootloader.

Not sure if 4.4.4 ROMs would work on an older bootloader like MLD. Just make a backup first and give it a try .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] pr3dicament:
I was talking about the MLD bootloader. getprop ro.bootloader in terminal emulator let me know I was in fact using the MLD boot loader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
I believe you :) I think it’s the interpretation of your post, where the confusion lies...

First, you already know this, but for the benefit of others following along at home...

- If you take the NB1 Kitkat OTA, then you CANNOT go back to the MK2 bootloader.

- If you upgrade to the MLD KitKat leak, you CAN Odin back to MK2.

- 4.4.2 Kitkat ROMs will not work on MK2 bootloader/kernel.

- You CAN run 4.4.2 Kitkat ROMs on the MLD bootloader/kernel.

These last 2 is how the magic tool kit works. It helps you odin the MLD bootloader and kernel, in order to be able to flash Kitkat ROMs.

It should read...

I still have the MK2 bootloader and use the MLD kernel and MLD bootloader to flash kitkat ROMs.

And your question...

I wanna know if I could actually get to NJ4 what? and still have MLD as the boot loader?

NJ4 ROM??? If so, you can use your current setup to flash 4.4.4 ROMs the same way you flash other 4.4.2 ROMs, but I don't recommend it. If you are not on the NJ4 bootloader/kernel, then you will experience connectivity issues and USB file transfers will not work.

NJ4 kernel??? From my tests, wifi won't work unless the bootloader, kernel, and modules are all on the same version.

That said... it's your phone... do whatever you like. Beauty of safestrap and locked bootloader is it makes it VERY, VERY, VERY difficult to hard brick your phone. AND NO... THAT IS NOT A CHALLENGE ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] pr3dicament:
Okay.. I literally went back to MK2 via Odin.. so right now I'm not on the MLD boot loader. I'm actually on MK2 at the current moment, I should have said I went back and only tried MLD with NB1 so I could eventually revert to the MK2 boot loader if I needed to, which I did.. and yeah, I know that MK2 and MLD aren't locked, at least that's what I have been told, and it shows because I've been able to literally go back to my old MK2 4.3 system with safestrap. I had it backed up in case I had a problem with NB1 (4.4.2) which I did, unfortunately. Was a lockscreen problem.

The reason I want to keep the "unlocked" bootloader is for possible flexibility? I don't know. I wasn't exactly very articulate in the correct way with my question.. so yeah, thanks for cleaning that up for me. I suck at asking questions. Yes, NJ4 stock/pre-rooted rom for the S4-I337. You say I'd have problems with USB and connectivity, so I guess I more than likely can't find a way around that.. yet. I've never bricked a phone.. I've soft bricked.. but never hard bricked.

I don't know, I just want to see how far I can get up the latter and still keep the boot loader.. that might be a better way of asking the question.. i.e. if I can get NB1 with MLD bootloader, can I get NC1 with the MLD bootloader, and so on, so forth, anything prior to NJ4, basically.. and I'm only speaking of stock, preferably pre-rooted, or the ability to root it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Thanks. Not sure if this will help in your decision process, but MK2 IS locked. That's why you need safestrap to flash ROMs. On MDL and before, you could use loki as a work around. Starting with MF3, they patched the vulnerability.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] pr3dicament:
That's why I put quotes around "unlocked" hahaha.. I know it's technically locked, I just meant flexible enough to be able to revert with MLD. Doesn't change my decision making process, because I just want to know if I can keep MLD boot loader with NC1 and up, it's been proven you can with NB1. So I'm curious about everything ASIDE from NJ4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bananaboy2:

This is all a bit over my head. I have the Rogers Canadian SGH-i337m GS4, and returning it to stock is proving a bit more complicated than I had originally anticipated. I'm having difficulty determining exactly which steps I should be following. If anyone wouldn't mind giving this noob a little guidance, I'd greatly appreciate it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Well, for starters, you have a different phone than we do, so don't use any of the Odin tars you find here. They can only do more harm than good.

First thing you need to do is determine what base you are on. This post should help...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51067793&postcount=4

Next, you will need to find the Odin file that matches your base.

Once you find that file, it should be accompanied with instructions. If not, this is the gist...

ON PHONE...

1. power off phone

2. boot into Download Mode

--- press and hold BOTH power and volume down buttons

--- when you see "Warning!" screen, release both buttons

--- press volume up to continue

3. connect phone to PC via usb cable

ON PC...

4. Right click Odin and run "as administrator"

5. If it's an "all in one" odin tar, click AP and select it

5. If it's 4 files, then select the appropriate CP, AP, etc... and add the files.

6. click Start

7. Phone will reboot when complete... You are now on STOCK MK2!!!

I have a SGH-i337 AT&T S4 and went ahead and upgraded to this ROM from muniz_ri

I stayed at MLD in hopes that I can revert back to MK2 if kexec is successful. I saw this post below and was wondering if this is till the case where I can upgrade to NB1 and still have that vulnerability? The reason I ask is because after the upgrade above, I got was able to boot up and get WIFI working but I am unable to get a consistent 4G/LTE signal. In fact.. Most of the time it's just searching and not connecting, 3 times have I connected to 4g/LTE but it disappears again. WIFI calling is more consistent BUT 1/2 the time I get "Error REG90 unable to connect"

Would upgrading to NB1 help my cause? Am I better off going with this Fenny ROM and staying at MLD?

I did follow the same instructions on the 1st Page For MK2 Base Users (never took NB1 OTA)
