So you're on stock right now? And it is ZVC right? And you updated via updates or LGNPST, right?

If all of the above is correct, ... are you using the KK recoveries?

If you are, then when you flash the ROM you may need to install the flashable SuperUser.

If you're just trying to root and unlock your phone, look in the Development section for the root guide. You must be on stock to root/unlock your phone. If you used Freegee to unlock them you'll have the required recovery to flash KK ROMs.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Ok first off, sheesh on the all caps bro - don't need to yell! lol. I am a little confused though. You downloaded all the files but how did you actually try to root? I'm confused because you say clockworkmod recovery says "error while flashing your device" but it's my understanding that you can't even install CWM without having root access. Can you still get back into your stock? If you can, look at your apps, if you see Superuser or SuperSu then you are rooted. If not, you have two options - use the Framaroot app that you can find in the play store. Install that and use the Gandalf exploit. Option two is to use Fiddy619's Universal root method, just search the general section here and you should find it. I have tried both and both have worked successfully. After that, you need to unlock your bootloader in order to install CWM or TWRP correctly. The easiest method is to install another app from the play store called "FreeGee" and use the sbl unlock method. It will unlock the bootloader and install either CWM or TWRP for you, your choice. If you have any questions or run into more problems just let me know and I'll help dude.

EDIT: [MENTION=1280108]engine95[/MENTION] is much faster than I. ;)

EDIT#2: I type too much, Lol! Also, I haven't used FreeGee in awhile and keep forgetting it's been overhauled - not sure if you even have to pick sbl unlock or it's just become the default.

I've been away a while. If I'm understanding correctly I can one click route my MK2 and install Samsung based ROMs without a custom recovery using mobile Odin. Can anyone please confirm it or correct me? If I'm right can you give me ideas what to look for in a ROM that will work with this method. Thanks and sorry if this has been asked. I did search but there wasn't much to look at in terms of direct solutions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
Personally, I've never heard of what you're describing. The only way I know of with MK2 is to root using this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2565758.

After that, your only option for roms is Safestrap. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2441441. You will only be able to install TouchWiz 4.3 based roms. Make sure they're compatible with Safestrap before you install.

My advice would be to do a lot of research. This is a good place to start. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2606501.

Good luck

Edit: Just noticed your profile says your using AT&T. This is the Verizon forum.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gnubian:
This is the Verizon forum, not at&t. However I believe mobile odin is only useful for restoring the phone to a factory state without a computer, not flashing roms, yet you must be rooted. I could be wrong though.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bfitz26:
It is possible to flash rom via Odin have done it on me devices not sure if this would be a exception maybe contact some devs to see where this lies
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Well as far as I know Odin is just for flashing the firmwares and a custom recovery is for flashing ROMs. Maybe there is an exception, but I don't think so
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
This is my understanding too..Perhaps one of our brainiacs can clarify

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Maybe just clarifying what someone thinks a ROM is, guess you could think firmware is a ROM if you're new to this kind of stuff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bfitz26:
Generally yes for recoveries and stock firmwares however it does need to be in a tarball file which would take some time I imagine trying to recall what phone it was but this was a few years ago a lot has changed since the n
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Decepticaons:
Ok looking like I misunderstood then. Thanks for the clarification. I don't think I trust the idea of the safestrap. I know it's safer, but I have been flashing ROMs for years and the recovery method makes me warm and tingly. I don't think they'll ever crack into the ability to flash the way we're all used to. For every genius we have that's capable of figuring it out, Samsung has 10 that can stop it. I pray they get it, but my hopes are fading.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
safestrap has been around for years for other phones and recently hashcode ported to the S4 last fall. I have used it since that time with zero issues and have been running several ROMs at a time to evaluate, with again no issues with safestrap. Not sure why you wouldn't "trust it".....as it gives all us non-MDK owners ability to run something else than just stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Exactly, I've been hammering away on Safestrap since my RAZR and it's really safe just like the name implies. Granted I could flash AOSP on the razr, but my guess is at some point kexec will come around for the S4 as well. Too many really smart people working on that project for it to fail in my opinion.

Anyways.... For now Safestrap is awesome, and happy to have it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Decepticaons:
Now if there were more ROM options lol!

Hello, i have just changed from custom rom to stock, beacuse the phone keept to freeze. But now i won't get any signal so i can't send sms or receieve, the same for calling. It won't connect to Wifi or mobile internet either. i have tried factory reset, also tested another stock rom. i'm starting to panic and soon cry.

can someone please help me?:crying:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kestrel81:
I am having the same issue as of yesterday morning. I upgraded from stock unrooted 4.1.2 to 4.3 using official S3 rom. Since then, no texts, calls and internet (still have wifi though). Been reading up and it looks like my efs partition has become corrupted. You may have the same problem. Take a look at your IMEI number under your battery and see if it different to the one given when you dial *#06# on your phone. Mine now ends with 0000, which it shouldn't do.

How to fix? It looks like we can't unless we have a backup of the original efs folder, which I for one don't. Going to see if warranty covers though.

Oh, and I reverted it back to 4.1.2 and have same problem. So that isn't the solution for me anyway.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
4.3 roms (as long as you used that one) are using EFS v2, which is a change from other Android versions that used to use EFS v1. Do you have an EFS backup as instructed from guides?

Thank you for the links. I spent yesterday scouring the web and followed the advice in those links. I am no better off though. Now, I think I am actually worse off as I now have a little window on my home screen which has yellow writing and contains what I can only think is serial numbers of the different components of the device.

After thise, I tried to revert back to 4.1.2 and had same problem. No matter which rom I install now, I have this annoying little window and still no network. :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
You are now in factory mode, probably as your efs partition won't mount. Go read efs 'know this stuff' in general forum, sticky threads.

There is no easy answer, if you didn't backup your efs folder, you may need to pay for a repair.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
+1 What boomboomer said above....

In the links I gave you above it shows you how to get out of factory mode but like boomboomer said "if you didn't backup your efs folder, you may need to pay for a repair".

One final thought have a look on your sd card for a efs backup because some roms back it up when you flash them by default..you may be lucky and have one!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kestrel81:
Thank you Tallman43 and Bommboomer. I hadn't realised that was what factory mode looked like when I read the thread originally.

I seem to have fixed that problem and now just back to the original issue of no network access except emergency calls. As far as I am aware, I don't have an efs backups as it was reverted back to stock 4.1.2 about three months ago and I used the triangle away trick. I will have a look through my old memory cards and see if any roms added backups on them when they were in my phone. Fingers crossed!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kestrel81:
Well, i found my backup! Thats the good bit. But unfortunately, none of the methods i have tried have worked. Will try again after i get some sleep.

To the OP, have you had any luck with any particular method?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kestrel81:
OK, just an update for the OP.

I tried the adb route via PC using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2393289. Failed four times. Updated and re-downloaded adb and drivers three times! Everything looked like it should, with 2 missing file errors, but phone status never altered. I have no idea what I was doing wrong there, but obviously was. I thought that one of those files may have some importance after all, the other I am sure was useless though.

I tried the EFS Pro, but that wouldn't complete. I tried SGSIII EFS Backup/Restore, and it seemed that it would only restore its own img backups, not my lowly tar.gz file. I tried kTool and that wouldn't even find my file, let alone try to restore it. I assume that also works with img format? I was beginning to think that my backup may have been corrupt as nothing seemed to want to use it.

I tried flashing my tar.gz backup via Odin, but that just crashed Odin. So I extracted my file to a tar (within the gz file) and that crashed odin too. Probably just as well as it would probably have bricked my phone - but I was prepared to try anything at this point.

So, I decided to root my phone again and manually copy everything over from the extracted efs file and overwrote the efs on my root folder. But instead of using ADB, I opted for a different way. I then downloaded and installed busybox and terminal for android and typed out:

chmod 664 /efs/00000000.authtokcont

chmod 755 /efs/FactoryApp

chmod 775 /efs/bluetooth

chmod 775 /efs/drm

chmod 666 /efs/gyro_cal_data

chmod 644 /efs/h2k.dat

chmod 775 /efs/imei

chmod 700 /efs/lost+found

chmod 600 /efs/nv.log

chmod 700 /efs/nv_data.bin

chmod 700 /efs/nv_data.bin.md5

chmod 775 /efs/wifi

chmod 644 /efs/wv.keys

just as I had done whilst on the computer via adb shell. I got two errors this time, lost and found folder didn't exist and 00000000.authtokcont didn't exist. I then typed reboot, it did. I then went to make a drink when I heard my phone vibrating itself silly. I went back to see that I had recieved three days worth of texts and missed call alerts. Boy, am I happy! And to think, when I rang O2 the other day and spoke to one of their "gurus", their diagnosis was that my sim card may have failed so would send me out a replacement!

They have quite a few apps out there for monitoring temps and whatnot. I personally use Android Tuner for everything I monitor. As a huge plus, this app is one of the most versatile apps (especially if rooted) I've come across and have had for a long time. Its good for adjusting or tuning down anything that may cause overheating as well as view summaries of the culprits

---------- Post added at 10:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 AM ----------

I agree. You don't hear too often about someone's phone overheating to the point of failure. I've seen one phone that would get so hot you almost couldn't hold it in your hand, and had a habit of doing that but was ultimately broken months later by a shopping cart.:silly:

Still a decent monitoring app (among dozens on the market) can help you monitor temps and pinpoint when, where, and what is causing problems.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FreezIn:
Thank you the app works. Is there anyway to drop the temperature as low as you can? Like 26 C? I disabled my Google account stuff and sync and removed the sim card because I use this phone as a gaming device. When I play a few rounds of subway surfers it already gets to medium warm and for 3D games it gets warmer more faster.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FreezIn:
Is 51 C - 56 C harm the device?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megamanDJ:
I would say you are safe in that temp range. Its when you get 80 C and above that that's causing damage. Also are these temps from the battery or the CPU? The CPU can and will get to 60 C temps at times which is normal.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FreezIn:
CPU I played the game six guns for almost an hour and it didn't go over 65 C :D and I think I totally screwed up my ext SDcard
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megamanDJ:
If you are having heating problems while playing 3D games alone then you might want to try experimenting with using different GPU settings. You can try tuning down the frequency. It may or may not help with temp being its only a frequency setting. Try also using the app "Greenify" to put as many of the remaining apps that you don't absolutely need running into hibernation. Greenify is a lot more efficient when it comes to keeping apps from using resources.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FreezIn:
How to adjust the GPU frequency settings? Does this affect the quality of the game after its adjusted? But I do not think adjusting the GPU frequency settings will work. The overheating problem is caused by the CPU. May try Greenify app.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megamanDJ:
If your GPU is capable of adjusting the frequency then it will show you in the Android Tuner app next to the CPU settings, but you're right it wont help with overheating. You can set your CPU governor to "powersaver" and underclock by sliding the max frequency setting down one step at a time until you notice a difference in temp. Greenify is a huge help mainly with battery saving which in turn stops a lot of unnecessary CPU draw.

Does under clocking CPU will cause large 3S games crash? Hope it doesnt

1. You can use floor() to round numbers to their nearest lower integer or ceil() for the upper variant. Your code should look like this $(floor((#usedSD#/#totalSD#)*100))$

You can find all the available math functions for Zooper here: http://zooper.themerapp.com/support/solutions/articles/157988-math-expressions

2. Advanced Parameters are your friend here. The following code put into the Advanced Parameters of a text module will change the color according to your specifications:

$#BLEVN#<20?[c]ffff0000[/c]$$#BLEVN#>=20 && #BLEVN#<60?[c]ff00ff00[/c]$$#BLEVN#>=60?[c]ff0000ff[/c]$
