OK folks I just downloaded and did a fresh install and 4g LTE kicked right in.

3:44 did factory reset/wipe twice to make sure

3:44 flash ROM only

3:45 hit reboot

3:46 finished first boot to setup let phone sit

3:47 3g kicked in

3:50 went to system setting/mobile network select global then go to phone info app and turn off radio then go to APN shortcut scroll to bottom and select LTE then go back to phone info app and select LTE/gsm/CDMA then turn radio back on. For me 4glte kicked in immediately. Give this a try
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] art0605:
"go to APN shortcut scroll to bottom and select LTE"

Which LTE did you select?

Confirmed upon reboot APN gets lost making you follow same steps I just did to restore LTE gonna check something on that gimme a few
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tepifan:
It's silly I know, but let me tell you something....I have LTE on reboot now lol. It seemingly sticks sometimes, other times under phone info I've had it switch to gsm/cdma only.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ahoslc:
What Gapps are you all using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
None. This is Google Play Edition so it isn't required. Just know that you'll have to install each Google app individually - they aren't included.

And if you want the Google launcher, flash the Google Launcher zip from the op and install Google search from the play store :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ahoslc:
Instructions say flash kernel do you have to do that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
I also started having it stick on some reboots and then not on others.

I had to nandroid back to my working mk2 build before I left work but I'll flash this again later tonight to mess around.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordunknown:
"Decrypt Storage" appeared

I just flashed the KOT49H official ROM along with the associated kernel to my phone after doing a factory reset. I was running the latest CM11 nightly. I have the MDK bootstrap as required. Strangely enough, when I booted up, it presented the message "Type password to decrypt storage." I did try encrypting once about two weeks ago, but I did a factory reset when it was not working out. After flashing KOT49H, I am getting the message again and none of my previous passwords work. Even worse, when I do a complete format (everything but sdcard), it does the same thing. Strangely enough, I can reflash a nandroid backup without issue.

So far I have tried doing data wipes and installing a new ROM after doing a factory reset. The message only appears after I install this ROM. I am thinking about booting into CM11, encrypting my phone, then installing this ROM.

Any other ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
I had to but some people haven't. Just to be safe: I say just do a full wipe, install the ROM, wipe cache and dalvik, install the kernel and then reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chuckleb0ne:
Ok so i factory reset and install the rom, then i wipe cache/dalvik and then install the kernel and still a no go on booting. Dont know what to do from this point. Any help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
Hmm I think most people who did that same method got it to work. If I were you, I'd re-download everything from a PC and move it to the phone and try again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chuckleb0ne:
Alright i will try it now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
Yup. Report back
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PaintDrinkingPete:
I've noticed this too...on mine it seems to take a bit longer to switch back to LTE from 3G when still on EHRPD though.

Either way, I'm not very concerned about this...3G is still data (so it's not like I'm missing notifications or anything), and it's easy to switch the APN back if need to. This ROM is way too awesome for something like this to bug me that much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mb27:
I'm using Do Not Disturb. It's adequate.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pkaczor:

It looks like every day I travel through the tunnel into NYC the phone loses the LTE setting
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
let verizon decide whats best

without access to the native apn menu in other verizon ROMs and all other research, this is normal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
I have been running this rom for 10 days now (maybe 11) and it's great.

I clean flashed the 2/15 and then dirty flashed both the 2/18 and 2/21 editions with no issue. I also updated kt kernel on 2/24.

Since the 2/18 version I may have had one time that the lte handoff wasn't right.

I typically go everyday from my home where I'm on wifi to my office where I'm on lte.

I go to see clients and mix it up between wifi and lte most of the day and since I'm in NY (Long Island), my lte coverage is typically pretty good, and I've been golden.

The rom itself is smooth and has pretty much all of the features I like.

I'm using xposed w/gravity box so I can't try art and I do wonder if art might even be smoother and quicker.

I've considered flashing clean and trying art, but haven't done it yet.

I am getting a little itchy. It's been at least a couple of years since I've gone this long without flashing something new and I think it's affecting my health (lmao!)

Everyday I think this will be the day that I'll try liquid, vanir or ose again and every day comes and goes without me jumping ship.

Maybe tomorrow will be the day.................................................................................................
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
I just posted, over in Echoe, that for the last two days, my NE to LTE hand-off has been flawless. These two ROMs just seem to get better, and better. :highfive:

With my black wallpaper, and blacked out apps from CamBlue, Gunthermic, and Team Blackout, I've got this baby looking downright sinister.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nhawk:
Not sure what you mean. I'm saying that I not only lose LTE service, but I lose the "LTE - Verizon Internet" setting in the APNs menu.

It seems that short disruptions to service or lower signal results in 3G or even 1X, but in the tunnel I lose the data completely and then it loses the APN setting, so that data doesn't come back at all until I manually go into APNs. (rebooting doesn't have this issue)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tomf80:
Thanks. Seems to be better than Blocking Mode.

MK2

So is there any Recovery other than Safestrap that can work on MK2????
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrw1215:
I feel like I remember reading that this was an issue somewhere, but I don't recall if I'm just getting mixed up or not, and I'm wondering if there's a solution... Anyway, I've encountered an issue in which I'm not receiving SMS messages until several hours after they've been sent to me. Someone sent me a text around 3PM yesterday, and my phone didn't pick it up until this morning... Anyone else have this issue, and if so, is there a solution?

Edit: Oh, also, another issue, too. Not sure if this is kernel related or ROM related, but I've always used ktoons kernel, and I didn't start having this issue until I started using this ROM. Basically, if I turn the phone off and try to charge it, it turns back on; so, in other words, I can't charge the phone while it's off. Is there any solution to that, at all?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
Not charging while off is in the OP. Is a bootloader mismatch issue per the OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
a development thread isn't the place to ask, there's stickies that have your answer
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrw1215:
Oh, I see. What, exactly, is a "knox bootloader", though? How do I get that, and are there any repercussions I should be aware of?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
There is no Verizon solution (currently). . only the mdk bootloader works with Loki . .

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] madsquabbles:
been almost a week with the latest and have had no problems. lte/wifi/3g all working good and switching over properly. i thought i'd miss them, but seems not having touchwiz isn't really a big thing anymore. especially with the speed and responsiveness of the phone now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
It seems to me, that the GPE ROMs, are even faster, and more responsive, than AOSP ROMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
Back from my trip. Never lost LTE that I noticed and I was on and off airplanes, buried in the middle of large office buildings, riding the underground train at Dulles, etc. etc. And on and off our corporate guest wifi and the hotel wifi. The only thing I did not really test was being on the fringe of coverage (I live in DFW and spent the early week in NOVA so I was always in an LTE area when I had my phone on).

Also, I got to do some side-by-side tests with my non-jailbroken iPhone 5s (work phone). LTE speeds and responsiveness were basically the same. And Google is getting really close to Apple's scrolling, and this ROM on this phone is for me personally the closest I have seen. I remember reading there is some patents involved I think for the way iOS "sticks" to your finger when scrolling. But really, I only notice it when I go back and forth between the phones a lot when traveling. I hardly use my 5s when I am in town.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PaintDrinkingPete:
Most likely because the GPE Roms are actually built specifically for the device and have the proprietary Samsung components...it's like the best of both worlds, the stability of a factory (i.e. Touchwiz) ROM with all the benefits of an AOSP ROM.

Are you from northern Virginia and/or the DC area originally? Never heard anyone from anywhere else call it "NoVa" before...

I'm in Alexandria myself, and really haven't had too many network issues either...even though my office building is a black hole for cellular reception. And I agree, this is one of the best performing ROMs I've ever run, ever.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
I take it that this rom is working well with the Samsung gear watch. Anyone know if it will be compatible with the new version coming out with the S5?

coming from MJ7 HyperDrive and safestrap, i know i need to flash using loki vs safestrap, but do i have to downgrade the baseband too, or will the loki flash change that for me once safestrap and HyperDrive are removed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ComplexMinded:
Quite possibly the best ROM I've run on the GS4. Hands down!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
If your phone was not orginally an MDK phone,You will not be able to run this ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShadyPossum:
ive downgraded the baseband before, why couldnt i do that then Loki this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
If your phone didn't originally come with MDK, it's not possible. You're stuck with TW ROMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PaintDrinkingPete:
I'm not sure I follow you exactly....?

Why are you using safestrap if your device is able to run Loki recovery?

Anyway, I'm just going to throw these out there so there is no confusion...

1. In order to install a Loki-enabled recovery (TWRP or CWM), you *MUST* still have the bootloader that originally shipped with the device with the MDK baseband and software. IF, at any time, the device was updated to any software version past MDK via official channels, then there is NO KNOWN WAY to install custom recovery. Safestrap is the ONLY way to install custom ROMs on Verizon Galaxy S4's that have the updated bootloader, and this ROM is NOT compatible with safestrap. I know this sucks for many people, but those are the facts.

If you've manually updated the baseband version by installing an updated radio or have installed other custom ROMs, then you should be OK...but you will want to verify that you can install a custom recovery before proceeding.

2. You should be on the latest baseband prior to installing this ROM. People will often refer to "MDK" as requirement for using Loki and installing certain ROMs, but they are really referring to the bootloader that shipped with that version, technically the baseband itself can be updated manually without a problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ponyboy82:
awesome, thanks! there isn't an apps2sd module too, by any chance? that's the only thing i'm missing on this rom. FolderMount is a pretty good substitute though.

I came here to say the same thing. Just an excellent rom. No more being jealous of those GPE device owners!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gotroot801:
Having a ton of problems with the 2/21 build. It's a clean flash. The phone makes no sound whatsoever, although it still vibrates. In addition, I am unable to answer or place phone calls. When I get an incoming call, sliding to any of the three options does not do any of them - can't hang up, can't send a text, can't answer. If I place a call, the phone vibrates a few times, but goes to a black screen (with the notification bar, not simply the proximity sensor shutting the screen off). I can't hear the caller at the other end, nor can they hear me.

I'm running the MK2 modem from this thread. Did I need to flash the modem+apnhlos package instead?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
To diagnose the issue, it would help to know your exact flashing steps. This includes the steps you took (if any) to secure LTE data, and any mods you installed.

If it's any consolation, I inadvertently wiped out all the files on my SD card, before flashing this. So, my setup is taking an awful lot longer than usual. :o

Are we crazy or what?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gotroot801:
OK. I came from the 2/26 CM11 nightly, and I already had LTE when I started. Running TWRP 2.6.3.1, I ran a nandroid backup, did a standard wipe, then installed. No mods. I still had LTE under this ROM, and restored my Nandroid backup and retained LTE.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
I'd recommend a new download, it sounds like yours was bad. Double-check the md5. I haven't seen other reports of those issues. Re-download and re-flash, test the phone and sound functions before installing anything. Good luck. It is an excellent ROM.

I use to hate doing clean flashes, but now I clean flash every update (regardless of which ROM it is). Seems tedious, but I know everything that is going on that way, eliminating possible issues and what not.

Excellent work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] coolsilver:
Just tried to give this a spin...seemed ok. But wasn't so happy once I restored apps. Actually most the Gapps were out of date. Also had NOVA as default and only launcher.

I'm sorry I must have read this incorrectly. I though I was getting Google Stock or damn close to it with AOSP. I couldn't restore the Nova settings with titanium. I guess I never thought to back up through Nova itself since I never had issues with titanium backup. I didn't restore any system apps or settings just user apps and the entire System UI failed to respond long before I was half done.

Maybe it is me but just didn't seem to mesh well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
what? dude nothing is out of date lol

this ^
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gotroot801:
I downloaded 2/27, the MD5s matched, yet the exact same thing happened - no sound, no phone calls. LTE and Wi-Fi both work.

When I flashed MK2, I flashed the non-hlos version. At this point I wonder if I need to flash the modem+apnhlos package. Thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
That is exactly why. Re-flash MDK modem + nonhlos, then just flash the mk2 radio. The MK2/MJ7 NON-HLOS.bins are only compatible with CM-based roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tbcpn:
Delete the Nova that the ROM installed, and restore your Nova from TiBu? Or, just restore settings for Nova?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gotroot801:
Yep, that did it. Thanks!

Now the long, slow slog of restoring all my apps, accounts, wireless APs and Bluetooth. Hopefully I won't have the same A2DP issues I've had with CM11...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] coolsilver:
Tried both. Titanium loves to hang restoring apps that have been integrated. I would use Nova anyway but I assumed it was optional added in not the default launcher for an official google edition build.

Anyone use Rom Toolbox Pro to back up user settings and user apps? Or should I use Google Back up to back up user settings?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
The ROM also comes with Xposed Installer and Gravity Box, which I'm pretty sure aren't part of the stock GE. I personally like it, but I understand you're wanting a completely stock, unmodified GE.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
unmodified GPE does not work on Verizon ;) :P :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Lol well like danvdh said, unmodified wouldn't work. I think Nova is a clever substitution altough I would probably just include the Google Now launcher.

Pfff... this is XDA, where every flash is an adventure!!! ;)

(PS - dirty flashed the ROM, no noted issues.. Loving the GPE speed. You rock sir!

I will also note that i just made the flash as i have it my official CWM backup; if i screw things up later, this is what i will restore since it is working perfectly for me...)

It's all in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2487298

If your situation matches gotroot's, you initially have to go back to MDK with NON-HLOS to fix sound/wifi. Then you can flash just the modem for whichever baseband you want.

MDK + NON-HLOS

MK2 Modem Only

Read all info in the referenced thread, but these can be flashed in recovery (TWRP, CWM, etc.)
