Back to stock MK2

Hi guys, I just want to confirm somthing, I was on MK2 4.3. After saferoot, I flashed kitkat ROM Goldeneye. (MLD Build NH2) with kitkat magic tool.

If in case I want to go back to stock MK2 4.3, should I follow these steps?

I flashed 3.72 of safestrap with Goldeneye ROM (from MK2 to MLD). I don't see any difference between new and 3.71 ver. while using it. Its been 3 days.. everything running fine.. no issues.

Hi!

Great thanks to guut13 for putting this together. I'm new to this side and trying to upgrade my wife’s phone due to low disk space errors. The phone has never been updated. When OTA came I rooted and stopped the notifications. I'd just like to get a couple of things straight before diving in.

1.	SAFESTRAP? So this is a recovery or something like a boot loader pointing to recovery? (I’d like to install TWRP)

2.	Is my boot loader lock even if I never upgraded? Will I still have to use safestrap?

3.	So really no Kernels upgrades due to boot loader? (so sad):crying:

4.	I’d like to install Skyfall or SlimSung. Is there anything I should keep in mind?

Thanks!

Jay

Insane 4.4.4 v4 on AT&T i337 S4

I can't yet post in the Insane development thread so I will do it here, because the subject has already been broached here.

I have an AT&T i337 S4 running on a NC1 base, with Safestrap recovery and T-Mobile as my carrier, and have been experiencing cell connection problems on the Insane 4.4.4 V 3.5. But I just installed the V. 4 update, and while I haven't yet had enough time yet to fiddle with it, I think it works almost to perfection. Some anamolies still exist, but so far I have been able to work around them. I write this with the hope that others with the AT&T S4 will try this version of the rom, and comment on it here or in the development thread.

The rom installed without a hitch, and it updated my apps as well. But it had no cell network connection. Because Wifi Calling was enabled by default, it gave me a ER05 "Invalid SIM card" error. I turned on Wifi, and connected to my home system, and did a Hot Reboot (new in V. 4), and it came back up with 5 bars of reception, but when I turned Wifi on to check the LTE connection, it was not there. When I checked the APN, none existed. Tried to define one twice, but it didn't seem to work.

So I backed up what I had at the time, and rebooted. Hard to believe, but it came up with an 4-5 bar LTE connection (also 2 duplicate definitions of the correct T-Mobile APN setting). I set Wifi on, and Wifi Calling on, and made a phone call; it worked just fine.

I messed with it for a while, and each time I ran into a problem, losing the cell connection or losing the APN definiton again, a Hot Reboot seemed to do the trick; the cell connection would come up normal.

It looks fine just now, I will report back later, and hope others will as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Thanks for the feedback. The ROM was originally on the list, but was removed for the exact reasons you pointed out in your post. Cellular connectivity on ATT was either flaky or existent.

It's not the ROMs fault. I blame it on the incompatibility of our 4.4.2 stock kernel and the 4.4.4 based ROM. (You may have also noticed that USB file transfer does not work... but that is more of an inconvenience than a deal breaker.)

4. Install... 4.4.2 ROM

5. Install... ATT_MLD_Modules.zip (to fix wifi)

6. Install... UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip (to keep root)

7. Home... Reboot... Download (to reboot into download mode)

8. On PC, open Odin and flash files from MLD Odin Files folder.... BL AP CP

9. Phone will reboot automatically

I had that issue before when I updated from 4.2 to 4.3 and changing the wpa_supplicant.conf and did the trick back then but now still stack

Would the Pure Nexus Edition 4.4.4 google play edition safestrap rom trip Knox ?

Hello. Due to the fact that I have not posted 10 posts yet, I am unable to bring this question to the development thread where this rom is officially posted, however I believe that it might pertain to my software version and safestrap setup, so I brought it where I could post it, which is here. I have a SGH-i337 AT&T Galaxy s4, running NC1 and safestrap version 3.72 beta. My Knox binary counter is set to 0x0 currently, would flashing this Google Play edition rom trip my Knox counter to 0x01?

No. It won't trip the Knox flag.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] kevinco1:
Most devs have left this year due to the S5, but mostly frustrations regarding the locked bootloader. This is why there is so many Touchwiz based ROMs. The biggest casualty was Hash, though he had some other reasons like his new job.

The problem with quitting early is that with a little more work, we have seen it's possible to run GE/AOSP ROMs. Good folks like [MENTION=3305391]Joe-Tech[/MENTION] had to port it instead of the original developer. There is a number of ROMs in the 9505 international/unified sections that could be ported to work with the i337, but those devs seem ignorant of Safestrap in general and think our model is old news, even if it's still one of the most widely used phones on the planet.

The day kexec is available I will be celebrating. At that point, having an unlocked bootloader is of no concern as kexec (while not the same thing) gives us all we've been waiting for with being able to flash kernels and running PA/CM . Hopefully this is soon, good luck guys!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Just to better understand what's going on...

You successfully installed a ROM, booted it up, and wifi was good. Then at some point later you rebooted and wifi was broken?

What ROM are you using?

After reboot how was it broken? Would the wifi toggle move to the on position? Could you see your home network? Did it show connected, but no data was being transferred?

I take no credit.. It's been ALL surge. All I did was test some of the stuff he was working on. But thanks for thinking of me ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Guedeaux:
For the google edition ROMs, you have to do a soft reboot via xposed, gravity box, etc. to get wifi working after restarting the phone. Alternatively, and what I do, you can switch on airplane mode prior to reboot and then turn airplane mode off after reboot. This is a known issue and mentioned repeatedly in all of the google edition threads. I suggest thoroughly reading the thread from which you got the ROM to understand the idiosyncracies of using a GPE or AOSP ROM on this device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] nwaldhart:
Sorry, but I have to recant my previous post regarding the Insane 4.4.4 v. 4 rom; the following day, after restoring my backup for the rom to experiment further, there was no way I could get cell connectivity of any kind on my AT&T i377 S4. But the rom is most impressive in every way, and I was really looking forward to Wifi Calling on T-Mobile. Ah, well....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Nice catch. I completely missed that. I must have stopped reading at "the wifi swich is stuck at off" haha That's what I get for trying reply while i was at work.

Guedeaux is right. after you reboot the GPE for safestrap ROMs you need to hot reboot to fix wifi

You mentioned ss 3.71 and ROM slots. Keep in mind... To install kitkat roms, 1. you should be using ss3.72 and 2. ROM slots do not work.

Just to make sure we are on the same page... MODEM = baseband in system settings.

You can flash ANY ATT modem you want. Doesn't matter what bootloader/kernel you are on.

Modules need to match the kernel you are on. To flash kitkat ROMS, the magic tool actually ODINs the MLD kernel. That's what makes it possible to run kitkat roms.

(MLD was the kitkat leak. You can go back and forth between mk2 and mld without issues. But once you upgrade to nb1, you can't go back.)

You don't need to upgrade, just flash it like you would any other ROM. You are on 4.3 base running a kitkat ROM right now so remember flash the mld module after flashing the ROM.

Need help with Tmobile roms

I know I'm quoting an old post, but I need your help.

I have an ATT S4 (NC1), recently I moved to Tmobile and I need WIFI calling so I followed the very helpful second post in this thread, rooted my S4, flashed safestrap to it and tried a couple of Tmobile roms:

Insane Kit Kat v11 -- UVUFNB4 -- TMOBILE -- 8.28.14

compared to stock the battery drained faster and the phone felt hot (temperature wise).

I read in the relevant thread that a different kernel can solve these issues, but as you know I can't flash a different kernel.

then I tried another rom, WarpDrive v1.0.1 -- UVUFNB4 -- TMOBILE -- 3.17.14

the battery looks better but the phone is constantly hot

So, basically I'm trying to ask if there're other people in my situation? did you manage to solve these issues?

do you have a recommendation for a more suitable Tmobile rom?

When you say soft brick, are you referring to the endless bootanimation or something else? I can't remember if I tested v3 myself or assumed it worked since v2 worked. I won't be able to test it for you until Monday. In the meantime, can anyone else confirm v3 is working for them?

Sounds like you did, but make sure you are flashing it as all the other ROMs. The instructions in the ROM's OP regarding the ROM Customizer does not work with Safestrap.

Thank you for contributing. Unfortunately, modules only affect wifi. Not flashing them will only result in the inability to toggle wifi "ON", not a soft brick.
