tested IPBGHD ROM v3

IPBGHD ROM v3 tested and woking well with out any updater script cahmge
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Thanks.

I tested Light Rom, as well. ROM retained root, so no need to flash supersu separately.

First test... installed as normal. Had two force closes...

kernel tweaker has stopped (due to locked bootloader)

com.android.phone has stopped.

Second test, after installing ROM and before reboot, I factory reset. That cleared up com.android.phone error.

Pyrana v33 and v32 worked.

Note 1 - need to flash supersu along with rom

Note 2 - Both use aroma and both installers are in French. (Now you're wishing you payed a little more attention in Mrs. Lebouf's class, aren't you?) I never took French, but was able to figure it out with a little aroma flashing experience and common sense.

And before I can update 4.4.2 ROM post, I see Pyrana v35 came out today. Might as well test that too. :) I'm sure it will work, but will update post 3 after verifying.

Oh yeah, I'm not admitting defeat just yet.? but, without custom kernel support or and unlocked BL, aosp is a no go. At this point in time anyway. We can however use an i9505 based rom with the domination theme. So it at least looks like aosp. That's what I do. ?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Maribou:
You're absolutely right. That's why we can't have AOSP based Roms as of yet. If we could get Kexec support going though, we could start seeing developers cook up some aosp Roms.

IMO, Kexec support is would be or best option right now because we have devs working on the BL as we speak, but that could take forever.

Just to clarify: yes he is on nb1 baseband but that applies to signal strength in different regions, in other words he flashed the NB1 MODEM. But you can do so on any s4 variant as long root and custom recovery have been achieved.

Now it sounds like he is on the NB1 BOOTLOADER trying to revert back to MK2, Which if so then yes wifi is only semi functional.

Ive noticed a few individuals mixing up the concepts of bootloader and modems. Just want to clarify for the benefit of our community.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Maribou:
You're welcome. :good:

Follow that guide. You wont every use Odin to install Roms. You will only use it to restore your device with a Samsung factory image.

After you downgrade You need to use safe root to root your device. Once rooted, install SafeStrap.

SafeStrap is our only option for a custom recovery at this point in time. If you have never used Safestrap before, I would suggest checking this out before you install it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84UJnU4TPos

Granted,this is for older firmware, but it will give you an idea of what to expect. It can be a little weird at first if you have never used a custom recovery.

Once Safestrap is installed open the app, and click the "Install recovery" button. After it installs press the reboot recovery button so you can reboot into recovery. Recovery is where you will flash your Rom's from.

Once you downgrade, root, and get Safestrap installed let us know. If I am around I will try to help get you setup installing GE on your phone. Although, I have a lot of work to do today so if I am not around, another member will try to help out.

Good luck! :o

You will want to install 3.71+:BETA Safestrap-JFLTEATT-3.71.apk, and since have have downgraded to MK2, use the MK2 kernel modules.

Sorry about not mentioning WiFi before. It can be fixed by flashing the bypasslkm.zip file in the OP, and following these instructions:

That should fix your WiFi woes. :) Good luck!

Not a problem. Glad I posted something useful. :D

If are flashing goldeneye, make sure you use the safestrap edition from that OP... GE-SAFESTRAP-XXUFNBH-26.zip

Maybe im miss understanding but comments make it sound as if you dont need to odin the mld/mk2 packages when changing roms with 3.72. That would be very convenient and worth up dating if this is the case. Maybe im just tired and not understanding completly
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Maribou:
If you are on 4.3 ( like you never took the NB1 update), then you don't need to Odin anything to fully use SS. Users who updated to the NB1 bootloader had to Odin the MK2 kernel, and boot.img to fully use SS because it wasn't mounting /system. That was until Hashcode gave us the update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Once you are running a 4.4.2 ROM... Yes you are correct. You are good to go.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Excellent. Thank you. Keep them coming, please :o Now that we have the Full Odin restore, I'm going to try those i9505 ROMs that you found on my Stock slot.

Well. ShoStock was the first ROM I found that supported mk2 and SS, so I have been running that. I had no idea there were all these other choices hiding over in the i9505 forum. While testing, I never kept the ROMs on my phone long enough to see what they were like. After a while, they all started looking the same. It's all personal preference... I really like the AOSP Lock screen, so that is what I base my ROM choice on. I've tried the 3rd party ones from Google Play, but they don't work as good as the one baked in.

Anyways. If you or anyone else is looking for a ROM, just take a look at the screenshots from the different links and pick one that you are going to like looking at. Since they are all Touchwiz based and run the stock kernel, Theme and Applications are going to be the big differences. Some have more customization options than others, as well.

Great news. Thank you. Your other method worked great and saved me in a pinch, but this will make it easier. I have updated the OP. Now I can get all crazy and flash a bunch of ROMs on my phone... Oh, right.

I'm glad you are all set. Thanks for the update.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] reardoma:
Hi guys,

I have to say i'd thrilled to have found this thread. I've spent that last hour going back to every forum i've asked questions about custom ROMs and MK2 firmware to post a link directing ATT users to this thread...EXTREMELY awesome.

Just a quick question. I hate all the bloatware on my stock MK2 4.3 rom (ATT tools, apps, etc).

What ROM would someone recommend using as a daily driver that's more a stripped down version of 4.3 (no bloatware)??

I'd like to test in rom slot 1 then replace the stock rom so i have a stable DD and more free space to play with the more "unique" ROMs using another ROM slot.....

What say the community?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Thanks. I appreciate that.

I honestly don't remember what each ROM had so I'll defer, but you probably can't go wrong with a ROM that uses the Aroma Installer. Aroma lets you customize your ROM during the install process. Each one is different, but it ranges from which apps you want installed to what

boot animation you want to use.

Look at the install instructions for each ROM. The ones that use Aroma will say... (at end of Aroma Installer, uncheck reboot option). I put that in so you can go back into SS and flash the MK2 module before rebooting.

Good luck.
