I have a question: Will this Rom work on my SafeStrap rooted phone: [ROM] [KERNEL] [4.4.3] [6-12-14] [OFFICIAL] LiquidSmooth v3.1 Weeklies? I seems like it will but dont want to try and brick my phone.

Question. Can the domination theme be installed via safe strap on the stock rooted i337 NC1?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Haven't tried it myself on nc1, but it worked fine on mk2 stock. I'd recommend version 2.1 as that is for NC.

Make a backup in safestrap first, just in case.

Let us know how it goes, please.

After looking at the home page I'm not sure which ROMS I can flash. I have read several times that with rooted NC1 only touchwiz based ROMS and not aosp, cyanogen etc. Which ROMS are touchwiz based? Sorry this device is new to me and I'm getting up to speed

Hello I am new successfully rooted my NC1 S4 using towelroot. I have set Selinux to Permissive, successfully installed Safe Strap 3.72 and Selected a Rom. Now I am confused on how to install. I have copy Update Su, S.s Deadly Venom ZIP V3.0 As well as Shostock updater script. It seems a bit much but am I missing anything would really hate to softbrick device because I forgot something. Please help this noob

There is a great step by step guide in the KitKat rom post (second post on first page of this thread).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Thanks for testing. What didn't work? Did you get force closes? Nothing changed? Do you have Wanam installed?

Thread update

INDEX...

- Updated NB1 Odin to include [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION]'s Odin file which is rootable with towelroot,

- Added SuperSU v2.00 (I notice Play Store upgraded version from 1.94 to 2.00... figured might as well do the same here. Save everyone a step later)

- Added Tethering / Hotspot section

4.4.2 ROMS...

- updated WanamLite v2.7

- cleaned up ROM install instructions and updated SuperSU links to v2.00
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MatthewPresley:
Need to test it again. I did in fact have wanam installed (but not active) and I accidentally downloaded 2.2 which is for the 9500... Going to try again tomorrow

Coming from I337UCUAMDL...

Hi folks -

My apologies. The information is probably somewhere in here but after researching a few days I am still confused how to upgrade my rooted AT&T GS4 on MDL. I have a bunch of devices, all rooted and modded but left my GS4 mostly alone as it was essential for business. By now there are 10000s of pages and posts of unstructured unverified information and MDL seems to be largely ignored (too old?) by pinned guides such as this one.

Does anyone know a quick and dirty way to upgrade my 4.2.2 build to 4.4.*. I'd prefer a stock (rooted) AT&T rom for starters.

I am not clear about the bootloader story when upgrading. Can I just load 4.4.2 and run it through towelroot at this point?

Thanks!

Wi-Fi Not Working on NC1

First time poster, long time searcher.

I'm in need of some assistance, as I've killed the Wi-Fi on my AT&T Samsung i337 S4. I'm looking for help with the following:

1. Re-enable Wi-Fi

2. Be on the stock ROM

3. Ensure I can receive future AT&T OTA updates

Let me first thank you for taking the time to assistance. It is great to have a community like XDA!

I have searched every forum, even turned the pages on the very long threads, and I have yet to find a solution to my issue. I'll start by describing my current environment/state and then list out the troubleshooting steps I have taken.

Issue: Wi-Fi won't turn on and gets stuck in a "turning on" and grayed out state

Current State

Model: SAMSUNG-SGH-I337

Kitkat 4.4.2

Baseband: I337UCUFNC1

Rooted via towelroot

Confirmed root via Root Checker

SuperSU v2.0 installed and working correctly

SELinuxModeChanger set to Passive

Safestrap 3.72 installed and appears to be working (can boot into recovery)

Steps Taken

Completely wiped my device

I reinstalled NB1 with the ROM found on this site, using ODIN

Successfully applied the NC1 update (found on this site) via the stock recovery mechanism

Installed Safestrap (and SuperSU and SELinuxModeChanger)

Via Safestrap, installed att_NC1_kernel_modules.zip (didn't work, so tried next step)

Via Safestrap, installed I337_UCUNC1_Modem_RockRatt.zip (this didn't work as well)

I'm at a complete loss. Everything on the device works fine, sans the Wi-Fi (again, grayed out). I'm more than willing to go to a custom ROM, if needed (I hate the stock ROM and I can't wait for my next phone. I really wanted to go to a GPE ROM, but know you have to stay on Touchwiz when on NB1/NC1. ROM suggestion a plus).

Thanks in advance for your help and replies. I've searched all tricks and applied everything I could hunt down, to know avail.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Attas4:
I am new to s4 and androids. I am interested in some of the custom roms from the posts original author submited. I am not sure if they would work for me though?

For instance my model is i337 MK2 not I9500 etc and on title of the ones I like it states the i9500* models, Would they still work for me?

I am currently rooted on 4.3 stock OS MK2.

Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jmjoyas:
Every ROM listed here will work on the ATT SGH-I337 phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Your device is so out of date, that you can still exploit the bootloader. This means you can flash whatever you want... AOSP, CM, etc... If you upgrade to the official bases, then your bootloader will become locked and you will be limited to touchwiz based ROMs. Check out this guide before you make up your mind... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2314494

I would recommend odin back to NB1 stock with "I337UCUFNB1_4.4_Stock_Odin_tar" from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2674223, but do not root or flash anything else. At this point you will have a completely stock phone with no mods. Next test wifi. It should work at this point. If not, you probably have a hardware issue.

Only my opinion, but if it doesn't work on STOCK, I don't see why flashing a ROM will fix it.

Yes and all the info you need is in the first few post of this thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] DeadlySin9:
MDL is still covered for root in recovery in the sticky guides. Either way, do NOT update to the official 4.4.2 if you want to keep your bootloader exploit and run AOSP ROMs like Paranoid Android, Cyanogenmod, AOKP, etc. You can just use your custom recovery to flash any 4.4.2 ROM including the stock prerooted ROMs (don't use the packages with bootloader of course) as long as you make sure you have a compatible kernel and you flashed loki if necessary. You don't need to use Safestrap or anything that the rest of us do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MatthewPresley:
Does anyone know if I flash the follow the instruction on this thread and flash the purified rom, if it will trip knox? The thread says it will if you unless you have a custom kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ktcred:
Thanks for the quick reply.

I started out by flashing to NB1 and that was where the issue started. The only reason I rerooted, applied the NC1 update, etc.. is to see if the modem kernel would fix the issue. I'm not sure if this is related, but I do get a E: failed to mount /efs (invalid argument) error when I go into the stock recovery mode. It never stops me from doing anything and I don't directly whiteness side effects, but it does stand out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Attas4:
Thanks guys.

:highfive:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Ehh. If wanam isn't active, it shouldn't be a factor.

You can try v2.2 for i9505, but since you are on NC1, you may have better luck with v2.0 or v2.1. Seems that letters in the file name refer to base...

v2.2 -- NE

v2.1 -- NC

v2.0 -- NC

v1.9 -- NB

(Granted, he probably has XXUGNEx and XXUGNCx in mind, but I'd assume it would transfer to other builds, as well, such as VJUGNEx and UCUFNC1)

Don't think it's an issue with safestrap. I've flashed purified before and my counter still shows... KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0×0

If the NC1 update doesn't help (without rooting), I think it's a hardware issue and ATT store may be your best bet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] -beluga-:
Thanks guys for the advice and recommended links regarding my MDL build.

Hello I just rooted my ATT OTA NC1 I337 using TowelRoot, I Set SeLinux to permissive and successfully installed Safe Strap 3.72. Then proceded to follow steps in NC1 spoiler. I tried to install Shostock 6.2 and got stuck at Boot. I tried to restore my backup but keep getting Fail prompt on restore file. I tried wipe cache and delvic but also get fail.. How can I fix? What did I miss? Was I supposed to Odin Something? Please help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] gadget069:
Did you replace the updater script in the rom before flashing? It sounds like you may have to Odin back and start over

---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 PM ----------

Guut13, with all the roms you test, what are you using for daily driver?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] VICIOUSVIC1:
I flashed Shostock 6.2 , then I Flashed Magic tool followed by Su 2.0 like instructed in Spoiler and no i did not replace updater script how do i do that? i have downloaded Shostock updater p but dont know how to replace
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Look right below the NC1 instructions in post #2 ;)

And make sure to follow [MENTION=3873091]gadget069[/MENTION] advice and Odin back to stock before trying again. It's the only way to undo it.

I run GoldenEye. I get great battery life, but more importantly, I like the clean, simple look I can get with it and wanam.

Hello sorry for the dumb question but I have rooted and sorted bricked my wifes S4 in the same day. So I had started with OTA NC1 but soft bricked trying to flash Rom.

---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------

OK I flashed back to stock NB1 but am having trouble updating to NC1 where do I flash the NC1 update zip? In the Att stick recovery

Yes. In the stock recovery

As scary as it is when you encounter a brick or even a bootloop, I've found that when I come across those problems, they are lesson learners to me and help in my "development". Plus, you're right, there are great people around here that are very patient, as long as we read the OP's before hand, or even after a problem...there's usually some good info on how to deal with most scenarios.

Wi-Fi Issue Solved

As a follow up to this post, and in the hopes that it will help a future forum member in the future, I'm writing to share that I was able to fix my Wi-Fi issue. I decided to conduct a rewipe of my device and I loaded the Goldeneye ROM. I'm assuming that something got corrupted when I loaded the NB1/NC1 stock the first time. Either way, I'm very happy that I went with the non-stock ROM. I'm quite a happy camper.

Very true I lost the fear of soft brick and loop now that I have Odin NB1 tar to recover. It is much easier on my S4 with I rooted and flashed rom right out of the box. My wife never let me flash rom and took NC1 Ota so now she want root and rom. This is so much harder then causal root method or TWRP I to run SHOstock not a flashaholic. But thank always good to hear from pro

You're going to have to give us more info than that. Sounds like you installed it on a rom slot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Attas4:
I was following the steps in the OP.

Installed safestrap, booted in safestrap, wiped data then installed GE and it promted reboot screen, i clicked reboot and it got stuck in samsung screen.

I kinda screwed up afterwards digging through old posts, launched recovery mode, wiped data and cleared cache. Tried "rerunning the GE zip but still didn't work.

Edit: Well I got my phone to work. Yes i put it in stock ROM... stupid me. I also should of not rebooted as it asked after GE installed and go into DL mode. Well. Now I know!...

Giving it another go!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] air2k57:
My friend got a new nexus 5 and for some reason the window that usually pops up to authorize the computer does not show up. Tried different cables, debugging is enabled, tried hard reset, software is updated. My nexus connects and authorizes fine. Inability to authorize is preventing us from being able to flash custom recovery. I was able to boot device into bootloader mode and unlock it though, but no luck when it is booted. Any ideas?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldubs:
authorize the computer?

sent from my hammerhead
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] air2k57:
Yes, you know how a window would popup asking to reject or accept when debugging is enabled? That window never comes up. So, apps like nexus root toolking or most adb commands do not work.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farsight73:
You may need to run your pc without antivirus and firewall.. Right click a program and select run as administrator..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldubs:
Also try switching/toggling modes when you plug the USB cable in

sent from my hammerhead
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] air2k57:
Tried that, also tried different computers.

Tried that too, debugging as well as enabling/disabling mtp, still no go.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anactoraaron:
Sounds like you don't have the latest adb&drivers. This happened to me also. Those can undoubtedly be found somewhere on here by searching.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] air2k57:
But how can the other nexus work fine? I also tried reinstalling adb drivers.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anactoraaron:
Not just the drivers, use a newer adb too. If that doesn't work you can clear the authorized devices on the phone and there is also a file located on your computer that I think needs to be deleted also.

My nexus was really picky on the debug 'handshake' whereas I had to remove all authorized computers/delete the file on my pc and use the newest adb and drivers - and even then I had to reboot the phone first (once everything was cleared) and use the newest adb & drivers to make it work right.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KWOKSFUNG:
Somesays unlocking the bootloader will result in killing the bionz. Is that true and anyway to prevent it??

I'd also like to know what the bionz actually is. Is it a special chipset for high quality image or just some software stuff??

does photo quality really go worse without the bionz??

No clue what it's actually doing but it seems one of the signature stuff of z1 and i wont feel so legit without it = =""

btw, heard that X-reality will also dead with unlock bootloader. but my previous phone Xperia S could have X-reality installed with unlock bootloader!! what an irony!!

And I saw posts about some people managed to port bravia engine even for samsung devices. it was called Bravia3!!

Really feel so wtf for all these!! so sony devices are supposed to lose whatever stock signature feature when the boot loader is unlocked, while it will still be available if it's not stock??

Fed up with these unlock bootloader problem stuff = ="" Sony is annoying in this part

So can i actually install bravia engine 2 for my z1 with unlocked bootloader since its not a stock feature for me??

I've done TA backup, just wanna know what's actually happening = =""

thx :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Referring to many reports when you Unlock Bootloader you will lose pices which will definitely compromise X-Reality, Bionz Processing and Bravia Engine. At the moment there is no way to prevent it if not unlock bootloader it self.

X-Reality help image preview quality on the phone or TV, many who unlocked the bootloader do not see the difference and many do not use X-Reality on stock rom at all, like me. Same for Bionz processing which should help in camera image quality and here is the same, many did not see any difference after unlocking, but many dose. Bravia engine is lost so the compatibility with bravia devices should be compromise, but I don't know any of that at the moment.

Main reason to Unlock Bootlader is to flash Custom Roms with Custom Kernels so if you do not care about Custom Kernels you should not unlock it. Also we have all this issues and features lost because the developing of the OS for Z1 it's just in early age so you can't pretend to have all. The developers will find a way to keep all the feature together soon or later.

Maybe 3td apps will replace some features or help but I don't know if they will be effective.

Now it's just up to you, if you have your TA, you should not be worry about it. Your phone will working well anyway and you will see by your self what exactly are you missing. I think is not a huge difference.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KWOKSFUNG:
Thx man i'm actually looking for overclock kernel
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
So like you already know you have to unlock your bootloader and you will lose the features from my firs post. You phone will still working without problems. Huge difference you should not have.

Hey guys, could you tell some good phones with micro that works with s3, a good battery (better than the original), and a good armband to use when I ride a bike or I'm running. Less price possible :D

Tyy :p
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Qukel:
I use the Jabra Sport+ bluetooth headset when running. Not as good a sound quality as some wired headphones but I don't care about that when running. It actually has a great mic, even in windy situations the calling party can hear and understand you.

I'm using the stock battery and using Endomondo with a bluetooth HRM and the Jabra Sport+ headset I can ride my bike up to 4 hours before the battery is empty. No music on while riding my bike though, only listening to the audio coach from Endomondo.

When running I have the phone in a Belkin armband and I have another nice one that is unbranded.

Thanks for reply ;)

You don't know any cheaper headphones with micro? That's a Little bit expensive for me :s
