How'd you flash this ROM? Every time I do it I get a bunch of fc's. I get it stable enough to run but then it will get a systemui fc all the time after awhile.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] gadget069:
I had the same issue. I think the solution was to reboot into recovery and wipe dalvik/cache. I've tried a few roms sticking with Sho-stock for now.

I have just started to get soft reboots with chaos rom. They are random but I wonder if it has something to do with PUK error(too many failed unlock patterns drawn). I'm testing some things to see if it stops.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bxsteve31:
earlier i tried *#*#4636#*#* LTE/GSM (auto) backed out went back in and it was still there. then went to my APN and chose LTE and it wouldnt connect. i noticed that in network settings it defaulted back to 3G.

maybe its my sim card?

so i figured i would try a new Rom and i went back to the Golden Eye rom. and i went into ABOUT DEVICE, STATUS and even this rom is showing HSPA+

I just got a new sim card too to test. this is so weird.

i have the same problems i've tried 2 different ROMs and i can only get HSPA+ no matter what settings i use. have you figured yours out yet? maybe we have to unroot back to factory and then reroot?

I had to go to a ATT store and get a new sim card.

im guessing you are using the sim that comes with the GS4? my main phone is an iPhone 5S so im using a sim card adapter. it worked fine when i was using a GS3 getting LTE but not in my GS4. damn.

Thanks for the detailed instructions in post #5. It was pretty involved with all of the downloading of different files and such, but I'm back, fully rooted and currently installing Y.C.D. v2.9. I appreciate it.

Edit: I just realized my WiFi doesn't work now. I've installed the new rom (Y.C.D. v2.9) and restored a backup and WiFi will not turn on at all. Any suggestions? I don't remember seeing this problem after a fresh install.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Thanks for the heads up on v 2.9. If wifi worked BEFORE restoring backed up data, try re-flashing the modules again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] t4duzan:
It was not working on the fresh 2.9 rom. I have reflashed the modules, so would my next step be going back to Odin and reflashing that again?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] gadget069:
I've found that if I don't flash the modules with the rom I always have to Odin back and start over.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] t4duzan:
I always flash the modules so I guess I'll go back and start over with Odin. I don't know of another solution.

Edit: my WiFi is working from a fresh flash from Odin. After I root, install SS, and put a new custom rom is where I'm losing it. What I'm doing while in SS is wiping everything except my SD card, which is what I always do. I'm thinking this is wiping my WiFi as well because flashing the modules will not bring it back. I'll Odin back, root, and boot to SS, but this next time I won't wipe in between custom roms. Unless anyone else sees a problem in my procedure?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] t4duzan:
I have never not flashed the modules. I think my problem lies in when after I Odin, obtain root and boot to SS, I wipe all except the SD card. Somehow this seems to be destroying my WiFi, even after flashing the modules.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Captain Obvious, here. You are flashing the NC1 modules now that you have updated, right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] gadget069:
Wipe everything but sdcard, flash rom (do not reboot), flash modules, flash supersu, reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] t4duzan:
Sometimes it doesn't hurt to state the obvious. I never took the OTA upgrade to 4.4 so I think that made me NB1 before. Now that I followed your post #5 to the tee and did install NC1, I would assume that's where I'm going wrong. I'll go find that one and put it on my phone and replace the other as I "obviously" won't need it.

See, that's why I asked you guut13. You're super knowledgeable and don't mind helping us out that aren't.

Thanks for the confirmation. Before when I didn't realize I was flashing the wrong modules, everything became suspect if somethings not working correctly.

I did just flash the latest Phoenix rom from your OP and no WiFi there either. Strange...stock - WiFi works, custom - no dice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] NighthawkXL:
Just a quick question, since I've never actually ran into this issue....

On my device after I root using Saferoot / Towelroot I generally don't lose my Official Status, yet on my mother's device I do without fail. Both devices are identical, 16GB models running the latest SuperSU, and Safestrap. Faking the status with Xposed is flaky at best. Both devices are currently running PurifieD 4.4.2 and are considered "GT-I9505" due to the build.prop of the ROM. Is it safe (relatively) to use Triangle Away even with it saying the device is a I9505 when in reality it is a I337?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] kevinco1:
Back in the day when I first got my S4 and was able to use Loki (tears up from memories..) I used Triangle Away in that same scenario and never had any issues. I'm also pretty sure that if Triangle Away does brick your phone, you'll still be able to odin it back to life with NB1 dumps, but not 100% on that.

Since upgrading to KitKat and first using Magic Tools to present day Towelroot I've always had the official logo displayed at boot as long as I wasn't using SELinux Mode Changer. Haven't gotten around to testing out Triangle Away post KitKat.

WiFi issues

I wanted to put out a recap of my weekend for possible training for those that might run into the same issues and how to not make the same mistakes (some pretty stupid) I made. To start off, I left Friday morning to meet some family at a state park to do some camping, so I only have my phone with me...no PC available. I had a new rom I had just put on my phone and decided I wanted to restore a backup, so I did that. When I rebooted I had messed up my bootloader or something because I couldn't get past the S4 splashscreen to even get into safestrap. In the meantime being out of a phone for nearly 2 straight days felt strange, like back in the day without a need to grab my phone and check an app to see what the world was doing. Once I was able to get to a PC on Sunday I was able to Odin to NB1 and then upgraded to NC1. So, in going straight to NC1, I forgot that I had to flash the NC1 modules so I wasted some time in trying to figure that out. In that process, I re-Odin'd back to NB1, but forgot and thought I was on NC1, so I was trying to flash the wrong module. Sometimes after getting sleep, you will wake up and some things will come back to you that just won't enter your head late at night. When I was in the shower getting ready for work this morning I decided to check what baseband I was on because I realized I forgot to update to NC1 in my last Odin fest. Sure enough I'm NB1, so I go and flash the modules I had been using for months before. I never knew they were the original module (mldmodules) that [MENTION=2284570]ted77usa[/MENTION] had put together for us and was made for the mld base band, so I'm trying to use that for NB1. After realizing this, I finally went back to this OP (thanks again [MENTION=2982241]guut13[/MENTION]) and downloaded the proper NB1 modules and am now finally able to get my WiFi working. Sometimes it takes a good 6 or 7 times to finally figure it out and get it right. Thanks to those that took the time to respond to my questions this past weekend. Besides the wealth of info kept here it's also the people that keeps me coming back to this thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] gadget069:
I'm glad you finally figured it out. The one thing I do, is read and re-read before doing anything. Expecially when flashing modules.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] HAVOK83:
Sorry for the noob question but nb1 and nc1 has me a little confused. If I'm on nb1 can I flash new black box Rom or hd17 now or I must update to nc1 first?? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] otariq:
Okay I've been reading a few of these threads for the past couple of days and was hoping someone could clarify this for me. My friend has the att galaxy s4 and it's on KOT49H.1337UCUFNB1. She deleted her pictures folder by accident from the internal storage so I'm gonna try to follow this guide to try to restore some data.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2123999

Her phone is completely stock so I'm trying to see if I can root it without having to do a wipe. I was reading up on towel root but it seems like that doesn't work on 4.4.2. Is downgrading the only way to root this phone? All I need is root no need for a custom recovery. Once I do the date recovery I want to unroot the phone. Samsung has made this so much harder than it should be. Any input on this would be much appreciated. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] kpirnie:
have her take the NC1 ota update... and then try the towelroot method

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] t4duzan:
The way I understand it you can download any of roms for 4.4.

I'm unsure what benefits NB1 and NC1 have over each other, but flashing roms should be the same. Just be sure to flash the appropriate wifi modules when done.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Never used triangle away, but have you tried Odin back to stock on your Mother's phone. I can confirm, too, that I've never lost the Official status with towelroot or safestrap. (knock on wood)

You can flash any kitkat rom listed in post 2 if you have a nb1 or nc1 base. (or mk2 base, for that matter)

The catch is that you need to be rooted and have safestrap recovery installed. If you are on NB1 base, you can't root directly. You need to either...

1. use the downgrade method to root and then use the magic tool to flash kitkat roms

2. odin to stock using NB1 Towelroot compatible tar then then root and install recovery

3. upgrade to nc1 and then root and install recovery

Since you can odin back to NB1 after taking NC1 upgrade... option 3 is the easiest way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] NighthawkXL:
Yeah, of course using Odin returns it back to stock... the question is why it's losing the status in the first place when using Saferoot or Towelroot. The devices are identical, but both are acting different. Such as it I suppose, it's only a minor thing nothing to get worked up over I suppose.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Itzamistry:
So I am on a att galaxy s4 running build nc1... ive recently rooted it with towelroot and it's all good. I tried to install twrp and ended up soft bricking my device..I fixed it and later read this thread and found out I can't use twrp but only safestrap. So my question is under post 5 it says use odin to go from nb1 to nc1 and then use safestrap v3.72. If I am already on nc1 do I just download safestrap v3.72 and install recovery? I am on the screen where it says install recovery but I am just hesitant to do so.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Reason I recommended ODIN back to stock was to try a clean slate and see if you still loose the official status. It's possible something was done to your moms phone that you are not aware of.

Other than that, not sure why one would loose it and not the other.

Yes. That's it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Dhs92:
Wait.. Why does SS have the option to wipe the SD Card? Seems pointless,and pretty dangerous to have it right above the cache tick box..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Itzamistry:
Well I grew some balls and installed recovery...it says installation complete. So now when I turn the phone off I press volume up power and home and it shows the blue writing...but then it says could not boot and it shows its an android guy...i don't think I even have the default recovery anymore. ..Help me please!!!

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 PM ----------

Also under the safestrap app it says

Status: Not installed

Even though u pressed install recovery...Also it said installation complete so I assume it worked buy it didnt
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
I don't know... itzamistry to me, too!!! Waka Waka

Sorry. Couldn't help it.

You are making it WAY harder than it needs to be cause you are used to TWRP. Two ways to boot into safestrap recovery.

1. Open safestrap app. Press the button that says... "Reboot to Recovery" (then don't touch anything. it will do it automatically)

2. Reboot phone... after Samsung logo, you will see safestrap menu. Press hard button under word "Recovery"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Itzamistry:
I cant even press reboot to recovery...its blocked out. Should I install recovery again? It can't hurt right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] NighthawkXL:
I took the risk and ran Triangle Away without issue, it's back to Official while still retaining root and Safestrap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Itzamistry:
Idk what triangle away is but all I want is safestrap so that I can install custom roms. Also I tried to install recovery again and it does the same thung. It says it installed but actually it didnt :( idk wut to do now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] gadget069:
I think I lost my official status after flashing a rom. Now if I could remember which one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] DozenMadder:
I think you must set SELinux mode to permissive to install safestrap. There is a mode changing app on the play store. Search for SELinux.

is there a way to manually boot into safestrap? I wiped my phone (delvik, cache, data, system NOT SD) and noticed it was missing the ROM i wanted to flash. So i turned it off like a noob and got the rom on my pc. Once i turned it on the safestrap option was gone. It stays on the Custom Samsung screen. I can boot into download mode only. Any help. Im running NC1 based but wiped GPE Safestap ROM before this happened.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dmc2359:
You need to ODIN back to stock and start over...When you wiped system you wiped Safestrap too!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bor3d2damax:
I was afraid of that! Well back to stock I go. It's weird though because I had wiped the same thing yesterday to go from S5 Rival to GPE Rom and it booted without a problem. I have a feeling it's the fact that I am trying to boot the device without an OS installed.

Lost in multiple issues

hi,

I have a unlocked rooted (thanks to this thread) Samsung S4, i337, MK2, andriod 4.3 from AT&T. I have been using with Rogers (CANADA) but the tethering is not working. I used all solutions on XDA forums and now am at a point where I can see hotspot and connect to it, but there is no internet access. In another thread I was recommended to install Custom ROM which is based on i337m.

Now, I was interested in installing GoldenEye which is recommended for i337 on this post

http://www.droidviews.com/best-custom-roms-for-att-samsung-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337/

Now I have the following questions. The post says that I have to make sure that the baseband number should be UCUAMDL.

can I not use the magic took kit in this scenario? Also, the post for GoldenEye on the XDA forum does not mention anything about the baseband, so how do I find out what is the corresponding baseband number for the latest goldeneye?

here is the thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2313469

Also, I was recommended that I need to update to 4.4.2 before installing custom ROM. Firstly why do I need that if I will have to perform a clean wipe before installing? I thought it is similar to formatting and installing new OS

Further if I do need to update to 4.4.2, am I to understand that I need to do the following steps:??

1) Using magic tool kit, install upgrade to 4.4.2 (I am assuming I can do that right now)

2) Then I need to make sure the baseband version matches with golden eye (which I dont know how to make sure)

3)then using magic took kit install golden eye and hope that tethering work.

Any help will be appreciated!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Itzamistry:
Wow idk what to tell you...you saved my life!!! I got safestrap working finally but it installed another superuser so I sin ally got rid of that one. Now do I change Linux thing back from permissive or leave it of uninstall it? Also can I uninstall the safestrap app too?

Exactly, that is why you make sure to have a rom to flash before reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
When did you download towelroot? Today or when it first came out?

The reason I ask is because starting with version 2, that bug was resolved and selinux mode changer was no longer needed. I want to see if it is still an issue for some with the latest towelroot. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Itzamistry:
Yea I downloaded towelroot yesterday. Also do you think it is now safe to uninstall selinux and Safestrap app?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] otariq:
Once I'm done with the data restore should I just unroot from the SuperSU app? Or Odin the stock nb1 tar? What's in the nc1 update anyways? Any benefit of having that over nb1? Sorry for all the questions. I don't have this phone so just figuring out the order of all these builds took some time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] gadget069:
I had issues with v3 so I had to use mode changer
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Did you flash the ROM you wanted? If you are not going to flash another ROM... Sure you can uninstall safestrap. Not familiar with selinux app, though... I've never needed it.

If you want to return the phone to stock, out of the box settings, with Internal sdcard wiped, then you can Odin back to nb1 then upgrade to nc1 to be on the latest official base steps in post 5.

Cant speak for everyone, but from my experience, the Eclipse rom worked near perfectly with the exception of Caller ID. Any time a a person from my contacts list would call, it would be displayed as an incoming international call. I went back to stock after that. If Caller ID is not a big deal to you, give it a shot. Just follow the steps from the first post and you should be good to go.

For NC1 Base Users (took NC1 update)

Files you will need on ExtSdCard before starting:

-- Safestrap-JFLTE-3.72-kk-B01.apk from here

-- ROM Install Zip (check ROM notes... may need to replace updater-script)

-- ATT_NC1_Modules.zip from here

-- UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00.zip from here

ALL 4.4.2 ROM installs starting with rooted NC1:

0. Root and install safestrap v3.72

1. Copy remaining files above to extSdCard

2. Reboot into Safestrap Recovery

3. Wipe... Advanced Wipe... place a check in everything except extSdCard

4. Install... 4.4.2 ROM

5. Install... ATT_NC1_Modules.zip (to fix wifi)

6. Install... UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00.zip (to keep root)

7. Reboot

8. Check APN settings and configure if necessary. I remember having to enter the APN settings manually for this rom.

That's it.
