Didn't know towel root actually works for S4. So just take the OTA then towelroot? How about Loki? Do I need it all? Or will it work after the OTA? Or do I not need it?

when yall backup in prep for new ROMs how do you backup email accounts with passwords like yahoo and gmail?? Didn't know if there was an easy way.

Also is there a way to restore wanam and gravity box settings easily?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] t4duzan:
I use Titanium Backup and restore the data for certain apps. When flashing a new rom of course I'll have to input my Gmail info to get the ball rolling, but then TiBu will restore all data (login and password info) for the other apps you referenced.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jt1998:
I use tibu but only restore the app and not the data bc of horror stories etc. Guess I should do that next time.

So when you do the backup, do you backup all apps and data and just selectively restore data for individual apps and not all?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] t4duzan:
I select the option "Restore missing apps with data" and don't run into problem. I then "Restore all apps with data" and "Prefer XML" and only restore the options with the TiBu logos, which is things like Bluetooth Pairing, Wi-Fi Access Points, etc. When I backup I choose the "Backup all user apps". I then choose "Backup all system data" and again only backup the TiBu items that I restore which I named above. I don't run into any rom related problems that way.

so i upgraded from MK2 to this I337UCUFNB1_TWRootable_Full_Odin.tar.md5 then from here i took the NC1 update from post 5. I managed to load a 4.4.2 rom and everything was great. I then decided to load the Phoenix rom 9.3 which gave me a bootloop at the Samsung logo. Once i saw this:crying: i new i was screwed so i have to odin back. This is where im lost, i tried using the rootable NB1 tar file but odin gets stuck doesnt progress. Which file do i use to start all over since i used the NC1 update through rcovery..thank you to anyone in advance...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dnwright:
You can get the stock nb1 tar flash it in odin, take the ota update then root away. In the future once rooted make a backup of the ROM in safestrap then you can just restore if a new ROM install fails.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] skylinegtr116:
OK I think I'm gonna do that stock NB1 then take the over the air update. The other NB1 tar states rootable with towelroot does this mean I will have to use a different method since I will use the stock NB1 tar?...also I did have a back up up but being stuck on the Samsung Custom logo i never got the chance to enter safestrap. Is there another way that maybe I'm not aware of?..thank you for taking the time to respond its greatly appreciated
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jmjoyas:
After you flash stock NB1 and then take OTA, you would get to NC1 and that is rootable with towelroot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] skylinegtr116:
Very good to know thank you very much...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dnwright:
And sadly no other method other then Odin if you can't get past boot screen.

I was thinking of my attempts to get PA working, it goes past boot screen then boots to a black screen. Get the option for booting to safestrap so I was safe.

Quite sad that my original s4 broke and the replacement has a locked boot loader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] skylinegtr116:
Yeah don't know what's up with Phoenix ROM v9.3, was an awesome ROM when I had it until I upgraded to NC1. Well glad you got the option for safestrap, starting over is very tedious. This stock kernal really blows, I appreciation custom kernals a lot more now

Do you have selinux mode changer installed and set to permissive? If so try a soft reboot in gravity box or xposed installer. If not snag it from the play store.

Amazing how sometimes that's all it takes. Glad its working!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Frankenscript:
How do people choose which ROM to pick? I'm about to enter into the custom ROM world, or at least I think I am. I hate the bloat that comes with my ATT I337 (both Samsung and ATT bloat!). I've read all through the various safestrap-compatible ROM listings. I would go straight to google play edition, except for the problem with WiFi tethering. There's no comparison chart hidden anywhere, is there?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jt1998:
NO chart at all - just trial/error. Lots of them are VERY similar, just minor bells/whistles as for differences. Most TW ROMs b/c locked bootloaders are similar, others are very different. You'll read which have minor problems, which devs are very responsive, make lots of updates, etc. I have personally enjoyed Hyperdrive when I was on 4.3 but now that I'm 4.4.2 I'm on Goldeneye and have been very pleased. Look for his thread with latest version of 36 - its awesome, but just my opinion.

Good luck and enjoy!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Frankenscript:
Thanks. The ones you mentioned are actually the ones that seemed most attractive to me in my initial perusal (Actually, I would add Gravitron to the list). I've read the forum rules so I'm carefully not asking folks which are the best etc. :D

Mostly, I want the simplest one that doesn't have anything major broken. Sadly for me tethering broken is a dealbreaker, but if that ever gets worked around I would go straight to google play edition. I understand how most are touchwiz due to locked bootloader. Sigh, should have bought TMobile version of the phone instead of ATT. Live and learn.

Marc
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Like [MENTION=5333042]jt1998[/MENTION] said, they are all touchwiz based, so they will all be about the same under the hood. What will set them apart is the theming the dev has done. I recommend clicking each link and looking at the screenshots in the first post. Pick one that you will like looking at.

BTW - I see a few ROMs have been update. Updating Thread now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
I honestly didn't flash v9.3 myself, but looking at v9.4 that was released today... It's only an OTA. Before flashing v 9.4, flash the 9.0 install first.

I have updated the instructions to reflect that.

Wifi worked for me. I did notice that on the initial configuration. After toggling wifi on. I took about 30 seconds before the available networks showed up.

Were you able to flip the toggle? I've notice that if I forget to flash the modules (or flash the wrong one), the toggle won't even switch to the on position.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] atrix4nag:
I am not sure where to ask this Question. I am on ATT NC1 base. I have root, and i got safestrap recovery.

I tried to install 3 roms from list of roms given in post 2 (Light Rom, Chaos, Graviton) None of these threads OP mentions about update script. So I didnt update update script. I installed ROM, module and super SU. everythign says install successful, but when I reboot, still it shows my stock ROM, without any signal. when I check the about device, it shows all stock detials. In recovery, it shows I am on my ROM slot.

Can you help me what I missed?

Before I installed Safestrap, i used SELinux Mode changer, so do I need tokeep in perticular mode before i continue.

Please suggest... TIA
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Not sure what's going on...

Are you using safestrap version 3.72?

When you install the ROM, you using stock slot, not ROM slot, correct?

Before flashing the ROMs, you are wiping ALL except sdcard in safestrap, right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] atrix4nag:
yes, i am on 3.72.

i am installing ROM on ROM slot, can I install on stock slot?

yes before flashing, I did factory reset and wipe everything expect sdcard (ROM slot) in safestrap.

Do you want me to try on ROM slot? can I do it on ROM slot without any issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Thanks.

There's your problem. v3.72 only works with stock slot.

(v3.71 can use rom slots with 4.3 roms.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] skylinegtr116:
Yeah the APN settings were correct i used the zip file provided i believe in post 5 and then after i odin back to stock NB1 i did it manually and still no luck

My AT&T S4 (sgh-i337) 4.4.2 w/ safestrap 3.72 & towelroot stopped vibrating out of nowhere, I didn't drop the phone or anything. Do any of you have this problem or know a fix?

ty
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
First, figure out if it's a software or hardware issue. Backup your current ROM in safestrap. Then try re-flashing your current ROM. If it still doesn't work, then ODIN back to stock and check vibrate again.

If it still doesn't work after you are back on stock, it's most likely a hardware issue you should probably take it into ATT to see if they can help.

Based on that, seems NC1 modules are definitely the ones to use. Maybe the ROM download was corrupt. Try downloading a new copy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] djdigi:
Ty, I'll try that. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] skylinegtr116:
So apparently my NC1 update screwed my reception up. I would get bars then go to Emergency mode periodically. Went to ATT and they switched my phone out with no problems. Here's my question, it's already on NC1, now in case in the future I get stuck on a bootloop which tar file would I used to recover my device within Odin?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Glad they took care of you.

Since you are on nc1 now, you'll use the nb1 odin tar.

IV been trying to look for step by step but I keep just finding things for different version phones ect and a lot of people say different things
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Figured. Only other thoughts...

1. Are you restoring anything from backups? Maybe an old setting is mucking with your GPS. If so, try testing GPS before restoring data.

2. Check your location settings. Maybe they are off or the mode is set to power savings.

Well, if you are asking me, I'll point you to the steps I wrote in Post 2... For NC1 Base Users (took NC1 update)

(read the notes in the first two sections of post 2, as well, before flashing.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MAD12:
1. I did not restore anything bro. i just installed the ROM and first thing i did was check to see if GPS works . It didnt.

2.Tried that as well. location settings were set to - high accuracy mode.

It doesnt seem like anyone else is having this problem . Just me. My million dollar question how come it works only on hyperdrive but not on any other ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] HAVOK83:
Im having the opposite issue. I flashed hyper drive coming from chaos and now my gps doesn't work. . Stays on searching for gps and then says satellite signal lost.

I never tried v2.5. Figured I'd wait until it was no longer R2. (The 2.5 version they posted before R2 doesn't work)... Duh... I'm an idiot. R2 stands for revision 2 (or release 2)... from some reason I had "release candidate" in my head. I blame Windows. In any case, will test 2.5 R2 and report back.
