Bricked S4 with NC1

Hi all, I'm ashamed to admit that after reading the forum guides on installing a custom recovery on my i337 running NC1 that I bricked my phone. After doing a bunch of reading, I (regrettably) followed a video that gave directions on installing CWM recovery and have bricked my phone (receive the message 'System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone'). I tried flashing with Odin 3.09 (and 3.07, because it seemed like some folks had success using this version of Odin) the I337UCUFNB1_4.4_Rootable_Stock_Odin_tar file, but the operation keeps failing. I believe my phone is being detected by Odin (ID:COM= 0:[COM9]), but the phone doesn't show up in Windows Explorer. I cannot get access to any files on my phone (at least I don't know how) and am stuck. Can anyone please help? Yes, I know I'm an idiot for not knowing how to install a custom recovery on my AT&T phone; you don't need to tell me (again) in the forum.

Cheers,

K

I managed to get my phone functional again. I followed the advice to 'cancel' out of download mode, then tried flashing from Odin 3.07 again. It all worked. Whew!

Clean, uncluttered, AOSP-like NC1 (Safestrap) ROM recommendations?

Greetings-

I'm an Android vet, but an S4 n00b. I'm just looking for any thoughts/opinions on a clean, uncluttered, AOSP-like NC1 (Safestrap) ROM. I've always preferred AOSP in my ROMs, but I want/need to stay with the NC1 kernel to make sure everything works. Hoping to remove some of the haystack to make finding my next ROM a bit more efficient.

Any thoughts/opinions are welcome.

OK so I think this might be the place where I can find some good advice. I have a Canadian gs4 l337m. I can't say for sure what version of android it had when I started this, but it did have knox on it. I rooted it without any issues at all. After I uninstalled Samsung hub my auto rotation no longer worked. So when that got to he a pain in the butt, I decided to unroot and use Odin to flash back to stock. That's when everything fell apart. It took two days of patience and anger management but when I finally used kies 3 to "upgrade" I was on 4.4.2 through all this WiFi would not work and the mic and speakers are dead but I could surf the web and text just no calls and no WiFi. Since that I managed to install cyanogen mod 11. That fixed my WiFi but still no sound or mic. Please help. :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Thanks. Link has been added.

My go to solution is to Odin back to stock. If it doesn't work on stock, then something is usually wrong with phone. I can say that with confidence for safestrap users because with our locked bootloader, we can't do that much damage to our phone.

That said, your bootloader is unlocked and you have the ability to flash other kernels. Kinda sounds like a kernel issue, but I do not have any experience with that. Not sure how many i337m users (or those with unlocked bootloaders) visit this thread, but you may get more visibility posting this in the FAQ forum... http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-att/help

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Galaxy Princess:
Wow, I'm so confused... I'm on an sgh-i337 NB1 rooted w/safestrap, and I can't seem to find what exactly I need to do, to:

1) go up to NC1 rooted w/ safe strap

and/or:

2) revert back to stock rooted 4.3 MK2

I've downloaded safe strap v3.72 because from what I understand, I will need to upgrade my installed 3.71 version from within SS itself, if I want to go up to NC1. Is that correct? From that point on, I have no clue what to do.

Can someone take mercy on my poor pathetic self, and help a girl out?

Thank you so very much in advance! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Thr33-F0ur:
To go up to NC1, flash the update.zip in the op under "return to stock" with the stock recovery. To root, use towelroot, and before you install safestrap, download SELinux mode changer from the play store and set to permissive.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
If you are on NB1, already rooted, with ss 3.72 installed, and just looking to flash ROMs then you do not need to upgrade to NC1. Just follow the install in post 2 --> For NB1 Base Users (took NB1 OTA) --> OPTION 2

Once you took the NB1 OTA, you cannot go back to MK2 base.

If you want a clean slate and go to NC1 base rooted... Follow the steps in post 5.

I guess there is no reason to not work on GE 37.

hello, i am looking for stock ODIN MDL firmware to flash, since that is my bootloader and i am having some connection issues, i am thinking my best bet is to flash back to stock and then go from there. i didn't see it in this thread, did i miss it? if anyone knows where to find it i would greatly appreciate it.

Right now I'm on golden eye ROM, just flashed it and love it. But I've been having unrelated signal drop issues for a long while now. As well as se internal storage issues which I believe is due to a lot of old cached files.

If, after reflashing the correct modules, wifi is still not working...

Can you flip the toggle to "ON"?

So I tried to flash the GPE ROM, and after the Advanced Wipe, SS couldn't read anything on my Ext Card (I did not wipe the SD), so I was unable to flash the ROM. Now I'm at the very least, soft bricked. Hooray!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] daredevl99:
flash odin and you must have wiped your ext sdcard when doing the advanced wipe. something that is said not to do in the directions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] WordsworthESP:
No, I didn't. I made certain not to. Something was clearly wrong with my SafeStrap, probably due to the NC1 Odin method that causes SS to FC. It obviously had issues.

Edit

: After flashing NB1 via Odin, my Ext. SD card still had all my files intact, so it was clearly not wiped. I wonder what happened that caused SS to not be able to read it. Anyone else have similar issues?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] kpirnie:
what ss version?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Trip64:
FYI...for the few people that have had trouble with gps locking after flashing roms even with the stock nand backup just do a factory reset. I tried a lot of different things but that's the one that has worked for me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] WordsworthESP:
3.72

I think it was due to the method I used to get to NC1, honestly. After you upgrade, it claims SS will FC but remains functional as a recovery.

It's ROM and device specific, I think. We all (or at least most of us) do factory resets when flashing ROM's, and I've done resets at later dates with no luck. It's a bit of a crapshoot, really.

OK, big thanks to hovax615, tommydrum and guut13... I am rooted now :good: ... here's what my problem was (just to help the noob that will inevitably come behind me)... I installed Kies 3 from the Samsung website, assuming that the drivers would install with the software. This is a bad assumption. Following the above good suggestions, I turned off my firewall and tried new usb cables/ports... nothing worked. What did work was to open Kies 3 back up, look in the tools menu, and run "re-install drivers" which took a minute or two to complete... don't know how you can re-install drivers that were never installed in the first place, but whatever...

Once I did that, rooting with saferoot was a cakewalk.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] hovax615@hotmail.com:

Updated OP with Hyperdrive RLS14... working fine on stock slot.

Since the ATT Hyperdrive thread now points to the same install file as the Verizon hyperdrive thread, I'm including both in the OP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Saw your quote in a Q&A thread and it seems appropriate for here. Kinda embarrassed that I didn't put it together myself sooner. :( Then again, its never been an issue for me.

I have heard others say they lost safestrap after flashing a ROM, yet it never happened to me. When flashing a new ROM, I always wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik, then install ROM. After reboot, safestrap menu is always there.

Now I see... It's because I never choose 'wipe system' during Aroma install. (I mean, why bother, right? I'd just done it in safestrap)

So for those of you scoring at home...

The trick is to wipe 'system' while IN the safestrap recovery and it will preserve your safestrap install. If you flash a ROM that uses Aroma and choose to wipe 'system' again, then you will have to reinstall safestrap.

Thanks [MENTION=4826098]DeadlySin9[/MENTION]. I'll add this to OP later.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] t4duzan:
So, I'm assuming there is not an import APN option for android? Sorry if I'm misunderstanding your post. I'm on AT&T and for instance, if I want to use a Verizon rom, I would have to input APN info.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
I've was messing around with creating a .zip file that will install the correct apns-conf.xml file. The install worked, but when the ROM came up, the APN settings weren't there. I think, as Ted said, the devs bake in the settings to their ROM.

Try this app... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.APNBackupRestore&hl=en

From the description field...

NOTE: Starting with Android 4.0/ICS, 3rd Party apps don't have access to write APN settings, hence this app no longer works for restoring APN backups as a normal app. You can convert it to a System app using Titanium Backup on a rooted phone and use.

Instructions:

- Open Titanium Backup

- Go to backup/restore tab

- Find APN Backup & Restore on the list

- Long press on the app when you find it

- Select Convert to system app

- Open APN Backup & Restore

- Click menu and disable ICS check

Thanks to Joaquín for the instructions.​

Haven't tried it myself. Kinda seems that by the time you go through the effort of setting it up, you could have already manually input the settings in.

I know this isn't the forum for asking questions about BlackBox, but I wanted to ask because you can answer this for me. I just flashed it twice and all I get is a black screen when it's supposed to be booting. I didn't flash the Phil recovery, and each time chose the options to install or not install the kernal thinking that was the problem. I flashed the MK2 modules after the rom was done. Otherwise, it's pretty straight forward. I, of course wiped before. The first time I didn't delete the rom slot, but the second time I did thinking it might make a difference. Any words of advice?
