[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt4068:
Hi all! I don't know if I am missing something/this is normal/this is new. I rooted my S4 android 4.2. Realised that triangle away doesn't work for i9500 ;) So lost my warranty. Ah well... Yesterday I decided i would upgrade my firmware (as my provider just released one). Kies didn't work and just kept stuck at 0% so i copied the firmware file from temp folder and used odin.

Now I have 4.3 on my phone, tried to do something in root folders but it wouldn't let me as i don't have root anymore.... I checked my download mode and it looks like this:

cant post images yet :(

product name: GT-i9500

Current binary: Samsung official

System status: Official

Warranty bit: 0

If its been rooted (FOR i9500) and warranty is void it would say :Warranty bit 1 (right?), with a counter next to the current binary?

bottom line... my warranty is back for some reason? Or am i missing something...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] neilf81:
After extensivly trying to unlock the bootloader on my XS only to find that the option to unlocked it is denied by O2UK. And assume this is why I cannot get my XS into either Flashboot or Fastboot modes.

I am now looking at flashing the Rom mentioned above. However, I've only flashed an frf Rom file previously and can see from that the CyanogenMod 10 for LCOKED bootloaders is a ziped file structure.

Is there a step list to install this Rom? I've not found one as of yet.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, sorry but it is only compatible with android version 3.0 and above. Yours seems to be 2.3.

I will try to make it work also in version 2.3. I just need to have time and to figure out how. :D

Thanks for the info.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobesedated:
I am not a developer but if there's one out there that can use the official Rogers OTA for both Jelly Bean and KitKat, I have them. When I went back to stock, I copied the downloads just in case. I also have a TWRP and a Philz CWM backup of Kitkat.

There isn't, (or last I looked), much help for us lowly Rogers customers so I thought I'd offer these to anyone who might be able to put them to use. To make an RUU or pull info a far as stock recoveries, kernel etc.

Just shoot me a PM and I'll send the links for the backups. Firmware, recovery and OTA are below​

I'm sharing the official Rogers OTA Kitkat zip, the Firmware zip extracted from that and the Recovery image extracted from the Firmware zip.

IF YOU ARE NOT ON ROGERS WITH S-OFF AND A ROGERS CID DO NOT EVEN THINK OF INSTALLING THESE. YOU NEED TO BOOT INTO YOUR BOOTLOADER AND CHECK YOUR CID IF IT DOES NOT SAY ROGER001 THEN YOU CAN'T USE THIS. I AM NOT, WILL NOT, DO NOT AND NEVER WILL ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYONE WHO USES THESE. AS IS EVERYTHING ELSE ON XDA, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

I am not a developer. I can offer very minimal help but I definitely will try. At the very least I can try and direct you to the proper sources to help you. Everything I've learned to do, I've learned on my own by searching, reading, searching, reading, researching, re-reading, asking for help only when I've extinguished all other avenues, followed the advice to the letter. Take your time, be patient, think a little, then think a lot. Then double check that you have everything you need, ready and accessible. There's nothing worse than realizing you've wiped your device and you've forgotten to put the OTA or something in your adb folder. It can bring on acute anxiety until you find it and put it where it should have been before you hit go.

The recovery image you need to flash through adb.

So in your adb/fastboot folder (google and download mini sdk if you need to) you should have the recovery image.

You need to open adb and type in adb devices if a serial number shows you're good to go. If not you're probably missing some drivers for your HTC One.

Then type adb reboot-bootloader

Now you're in your bootloader type fastboot flash recovery Roger_recovery.img

Then type fastboot erase cache

Then type fastboot reboot-bootloader

And you now have stock recovery​

​

For the firmware get back into bootloader then type fastboot oem rebootRUU All you'll see on this screen is the silver HTC logo...that's how it should be so execute the following commands

Then type fastboot flash zip Roger_firmware.zip

Then type fastboot flash zip Roger_firmware.zip

YES RUN THOSE COMMANDS TWICE!!

Then type fastboot reboot-bootloader or type fastboot reboot

Also please take a TWRP backup of system and boot and share it. Good to add to my Canadian restore guide. You can skip data partition backup to avoid personal data.

I am no longer on stock but I have the files I mentioned...BUT, if you'd like I am not opposed to going back to stock and redoing the specific backups you mentioned but if you can pull the info you need from what I have, even better. I did all the backups with minimal setup, i.e wifi and google sign in, so I think the personal info would be minimal.

Anyways let me know and like I said, I can go back if it would make it easier to get what you need.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
you may actually need the /data partition as it has the preloaded apps

Did you sign out of google again? otherwise, whoever restores the nandroid could have access to your google. you can always change the password now, and should be good.

Or [MENTION=3525160]SaHiLzZ[/MENTION] as you suggested, remove the /data partition from the backups, and use the preloaded apps from the OTA file:

A little background just in case, in previous OTAs, (in particular the 1.xx to 2.xx), the preloaded apps were patched using diffs same as the rest of the ROM, hence they had to be there and an exact version was expected for the diff to work.

However, in the 4.4 OTA, I noticed the preloaded apps are no longer checked (neither existence nor version), instead replaced by full versions (you can see that if you open the OTA file, and look at /data/preloaded)

So for future OTA updates, just in case they look for the preloaded apps again, you should have them handy.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobesedated:
I did not but thanks for the tip. I had to sign into Google or it told me there were no updates. After I upload the files to Google I'll change my password. I haven't shared them as yet so it should be a none issue.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Or just ask [MENTION=3525160]SaHiLzZ[/MENTION] to delete the /data partition, i believe he's trustworthy and wouldnt share something that could hurt you.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aktheprodigy:

There is a portion dedicated to Rogers specifically (post 7). This is what I did then went through the updating process which really isn't that difficult. One thing you will need to do when installing the 1.44 hboot is to open it in winrar (do not unzip it) and edit the text file in notepad++ to include

cidnum: ROGER001

Just add it to the bottom of the others and save it. Winrar will ask if you'd like to update the file in the archive as well, click yes. If you don't do this you will get a custom id error 42. Doesn't hurt anything it just fails.

Also, if you do this method and revert to a 1.44 hboot and are on windows 8.1 you may have issues with fastboot being able to see your device. ADB works fine but fastboot can be a b****h.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
So not to derail the watch gear faces thread, I brought up a problem in there were I wasn't able to get some of the watchfaces to appear correctly, Missing day of week, ect... and it was suggested to me to rather not apply them with Watchstyler but to just do within Gear Manager. Well at this point, this is were I figured out Gear manager wasn't wanting to change the selected watch face so I proceeded to try to disconnect and re-connect in gear manager and had all sorts of problems. I managed to finally get reconnected to Gear manager but it wouldn't complete the "Restore from backup" so I ended up partially wiping my Gear somehow in the process of reconnecting. I'm able to get Gmail, Handcent, ect.. alerts in the "Extra Notifications" selections but I have stopped getting regular email alerts now for some reason.

Also, the watchstyler problem persists were I download a given watch theme per that thread and go through the exact instructions of creating a theme then deleting it's dir contents and copying over the newly unzipped one and am able to get most functions as replicated in the given theme but missing parts like digital stuff, day of week, ect...

Help! :confused::silly:

PS: I'm running Null Rom 21 w/ Apex launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
Update: Ok, I resolved my Watch theme problem by updating the Watch Styler program on my phone through Gear Manager - Samsung Apps. Didn't realize I had downloaded an old version along the line externally somewhere.

My lack of getting email alerts to the Gear still persists however. :eek:
[G2 General] ebs512:
Hello everyone! I know this is a stretch to ask but I was hoping maybe, just by a slight chance someone in the the community could hook TeamBaked up with a fast free server for us to build ROMs faster, it sure would increase quality and would help us out a lot. As of right now it takes approximately 2-3hours to build on my laptop as I have a dual core threaded to quad core processor. I am in hope that someone has a server we can access free of charge to make a build via ssh in less than 30 minutes if possible. If we do find someone willing to provide our team access I would be able to build via my LG G2 as this processor is faster than my laptop! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nechmadi:
first , good luck with your rom .

Usually rom developers states which version the rom based on (samsung version in letters not android 4.3) and writing the features of the rom (ok- lots of them , but which ? )
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DesertHawk:
It's in changelog. Ill add to OP as well. Last Samsung ROM I did was on Note II so bear with me. Thank you as well. Next ROM hopefully will be 4.4.2 just waiting for it to get more stable

everything's ok :)

by the way MKF is pretty old version
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DesertHawk:
I just use the base my S4 was shipped with yesterday. Then I hope the addons and all the cool things will make up for it. I'll update base via OTA later. MKF works really well here

You will only need to change your modem if you are using 4.4.2 and downgrading to 4.3. If it is from another 4.3 build you don't need to change

Yes. 4.3 is more stable. I will go and update 4.4.2 once I make it without KNOX and the new version.

On a sidenote, Samsung update will be very soon so why use the buggy leak that has not much difference between them?

It's just under the hood and not even that much difference.

I would rather do a stable experience for the user base than running after higher numbers
