[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dimm0k:
only problem using CF Autoroot is the trigger of KNOX... I'd like to avoid that!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] daniel4653:
Saferoot and kingo don't trip Knox but once you install a custom recovery it will.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dimm0k:
right, but last I read neither worked on 4.4 or did I miss something?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] daniel4653:
Idk I havent read anything in those threads in a few days. There should be something out soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fzammetti:
It didn't trip it for me. I disabled Knox after rooting, but before that, no warning or anything. I suppose it's possible it would have popped something down the road, not sure. Also, there was something in the release notes for 4.4.2 about reduced warnings that might be related to this, so that could be why too, I'm not sure.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] optimummind:
So you took the OTA to go from MK2 to NAE, rooted the phone using CF Autoroot, checked your Knox Warranty status by booting into recovery, and it still said Knox warranty 0x0?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] PatrickHuey:
See if you guys can help me out... I have a non rooted s4 and attempted to flash the update manually through recovery. I downloaded the file and then moved it to my SD card through the Explorer on my phone. Got through recovery and flashing the update when it seemed like it was stuck at "patching files". I waited and finally pulled the battery and now I can't boot... What's next for me?! Not sure what to do /:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] optimummind:
Try booting into stock recovery then flashing a full MK2 tar through desktop Odin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] AcE2DuCe:
Wifi not working

I

I know that if you don't have the correct bootloader on kitkat 4.4.2 knox will block you from turning on the wifi. I have an extra sprint S4 and loaded the leaked Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 without the bootloader and that's what happened to my sprint S4 wifi would not turn on at all. Thinking this what your phone is going through you probably have to odin the bootloader and modem some how.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Echo113:
Im confused. My s4 is rooted with stock 4.3 without the knox bootloader with philz recovery. Is it safe to flash the update zip thru philz? Will that install the knox bootloader?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] davidstjohn1:
Does this update also update the modem
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mjs2011:
So did you guys get the option to switch to ART in your update? If so, I highly recommend it. It's much smoother and faster than dalvik.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] piscesjoey:
Sammy left it out of this build unfortunately.

Sent from my Galaxy S4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] amieldl143:
Still have that stupid transition animation bug from ope NJ ING camera.. thus time it doesn't trigger till 3 to 5 times opening camera.. Maybe when I take a pic...really annoying.. Some one needs to find the fix...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fzammetti:
Yes until the last part :) My warranty flag was already tripped... sorry, my fault, I took "tripped" to mean Knox spitting out warnings... that's what it didn't do... but yes, it WAS tripped in terms of the warranty flag... I'd assume if it wasn't previously that it would have been if rooting 4.4.2 for the first time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] arys64:
OK Brotherhood,

Just a quick tips on how I installed the update.

First I had to rename the file to update.zip. Since I couldn't install it on Stock Recovery I had to side-load it from the stock recovery and adb command, after that I just cleared the cache and everything has been smooth. Rooted with latest cf-auto root.

Hope it helps...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cruise350:
This is an official update ota so you can't flash it from a custom recovery, and if you aren't completely stock it will abort the install. And yes, it would update the bootloader

If it installed, but the install will fail if you try since it will only update if you are on the mk2 bootloader and software.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] neswii:
Can confirm that the bluetooth resume bug on pocket casts is no longer. Overall phone feels much faster. Battery is about the same. Maybe 5-10% better? Can't say for sure for now. Overall, this is an amazing update if done correctly. All about stability and usability.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] churchey360:
It's definitely an improvement from the 4.3 update lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cyiam39:
Warranty Flag

What does it look like if KNOX or Warranty flags are 'tripped'?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mmark27:
Should have waited longer. Mine sat there forever, but the blue bar kept creeping very, very slowly along.

I factory reset my device after I was having Bluetooth issues. It appears as though it is now syncing with my car somewhat, but it's like it was doing it on 4.1.2. It won't download my phonebook, it won't announce caller names, it won't let me send messages through the car. With 4.3, all of this worked very well. I was hoping that native MAP support from google, baked into 4.4, would have been seamless. It appears though that Samsung has messed that up as well, like they do with most stuff. annoying.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] daniel4653:
Boot into download mode by powering off your phone and then holding home+power+volume down, then hit continue which will be volume up. After this on the top left corner you will see "Knox flag" and "Knox kernel ". If Knox flag has "0x0" then you have NOT tripped Knox. If its "0x1" then you HAVE tripped knox.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] troyboytn:
Is it just me or is the new modem complete crap? I travel to fringe service areas where i normally roam for work daily and today I get very sporadic data. Where yesterday it worked good as usual.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] neswii:
I think it switches between bands quickly, which is good, since every time I left an elevator I was stuck on 3g for 5 minutes, now it's just a couple of seconds.

I can see how it could be bad though, since this also means it goes to 3g quicker as well.

How to update to Android 4.4.2 After unlocking ???

Sprint Galaxy S4 unlocked for T-Mobile...i have Android 4.2.2 running and baseband L720VPUAMDC... I can't update it to OTA andoriod 4.3 ...But my question is how can i update it to 4.4.2 which is coming my way i am hoping. if i update it will it remove the unlocking or it will stay unlocked. I heard i shouldn't do OTA update what is my other option to get 4.4.2 on my S4. I would really appreciate any kind of information.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JoeFCaputo113:
Who else is holding off on this update until we have mods and what-not available?! I know I am. Sacs ROM v5.6 FTW!! :cool::good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] willjr0k5:
Force Update?

Any way to force the phone to upgrade?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jtsv:
lagging

OK it seems very lagging... It doesn't matter what app i try to open it is slow. Even though I hate to do it going to do a factory data reset and see how it runs. It has been slower on wifi and driving around on 3g and 4GLte (which is limited in OKC). Just now rebooting from resetting so I'll post updated results later.

SKIP WAITING this is Totally Faster even while it is restoring the phone it zips around. Don't know if it was from just a dirty install of the update but this is a complete difference than before. It will be interesting to see how it is after it updates the phone with everything as before. But for the moment while it is updating and installing apps I'm able to jump all over the phone, internet, maps etc.... With blazing speed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MrWicked1:
Any noticeable features added? I see some saying better battery life and seems faster but besides the odvious lockscreen camera in the bottom right what else?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jtsv:
Few pages back for me running stock This Speed Difference has been worth it, now have to wait for my wife to get the OTA update so I can really compare. She doesn't like me to mess with her phone.

Other than for a few app's since installing the performance enhancements of 4.4.2 "I am a reformed flash junkie" Knox has been the beginning of my non rooting and now with this speed and kitkat it will make things a lot easier. I've been flip flopping between my wifi only rooted GS3 but now I can truly be Free!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] neswii:
Download the OTA zip file with the update posted here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50298913&postcount=52

Put on your EXT SD card root. Boot to recovery and flash. This is the safest way to "force" the update. You have to be stock and on the latest update to do this. MK2 I believe.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] gdwilliams11:
Ditto! Hoping Sacs is able to rock out one more version for us!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jtsv:
Just make sure and wait it out it seemed like it was stuck at "patching files". I was about to pull my battery when I noticed the blue bar gradually moving very slowly. Then all of a sudden it was done. Whatever you do don't give up and pull the battery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] neswii:
Yep. Be patient. Someone in this thread already bricked their phone for getting impatient. It takes a long time to patch the system files, but it will get there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] babyschmoof:
I'm unrooted, and I have a bunch of Samsung apps disabled. Should I reenable all before updating?

KNOX WARRANTY VOID 0x1

Confirmed the knox warranty void 0x1 after cf-auto root through odin. I used the newest cf-auto root for SPH-L720 http://download.chainfire.eu/325/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-jfltespr-jfltespr-sphl720.zip I took this pic below right after I rooted. I was also was able to install TWRP through goomanager app if anyone wanted to know.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] PatrickHuey:
Yeah that was me :( what do you guys think I should do first? Flash a stock rom via Odin? And then flash the update? I definitely was inpatient and I regret it... Any help will be much appreciated!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] daniel4653:
Odin and try the zip again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] neswii:
I wondered the same thing but I did the update and everything is working flawlessly. Absolutely no errors. I assume they get updated regardless, and are left disabled? I know one app was re-enabled, but other than that it's all good. If you want to be safe you may want to enable them all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Mistertac:
You sprint guys are really lucky you know that right lol yea Knox gets flagged...but really who cares. Custom recovery.. No SafeStrap. Freedom!!

I has to grab my Verizon mdk S4 off swappa. And my girl has the sprint s4.... So much easier! Anyways I'm happy for you guys getting KitKat OTA
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] churchey360:
Yeah the best part about sprint is no locked bootloaders lol its so much easier to root them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] biged1218:

Dirty Unicorns (DU) is a custom ROM originally based off AOKP, but now based from OmniROM. DU brings you a great mix of stability and customization.

By doing so, we received high praise from not only our users but by fellow developers of other ROMs that enjoy seeing things done the right way. This ROM will always be free of charge without any strings attached or any of it's developers luring you into donating or any form of "pay to flash".

Thanks for your cont support to the dna ... this looks good , will be flashing soon ... just wondering I see that it has active notifications, is it just center screen or the pull out tabs also ? but none the less guess I will find out soon just wondering .. thanks again ... :good:
[HTC Droid DNA] hyphydragon:
I must have gotten a bad download cause it failed to flash, redownloading.

edit* I redownloaded from a diff miror and keeps failing, I have the new twrp 2,7 beta but Im coming from beanstalk so that shouldnt be the prob.

the error is "E: error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard error flashing zip '/sdcard/du_dlx_20140212-231"

wummipossado?
[HTC Droid DNA] gillim74:
Same error flashing
[HTC Droid DNA] armydog13:
I had this error trying to flash CyanFox
[HTC Droid DNA] mike_augie:
Same error here when I tried to flash .. Hopefully a simple fix would love to try it
[HTC Droid DNA] tdizzle404:
Have you guys updated to the modded twrp in the op? that worked for me on other roms when I got errors flashing.

I dunno about to falshh and see
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
Sorry you guys are getting that error, makes absolutely no sense. Especially considering that's the twrp version included in the rom sources. But yeah, it's working for me in multirom.
[HTC Droid DNA] Luigi711:
I tried flashing in TWRP 2.7 beta and CWM 6.0.4.6 both fail. Cwm says formatting /system

[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
Okay, I'm thinking it's probably a bad upload or something. My roommate was messing around with the router last night.
[HTC Droid DNA] tdizzle404:
So its not a recovery issue? I have it downloaded and md5 matches
[HTC Droid DNA] Mazda:
Check your PM jamiethemorris :)
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
I re-uploaded, can someone try the link in the OP again and let me know if it works? I'm kind of in a rush right now so I can't test at the moment.

Also, if it still doesn't work, there should be a little more information right before it says "error executing updater binary" so if you guys are able to post that it would be helpful.
[HTC Droid DNA] mike_augie:
Still no go ... error is as follows

formatting /system

script aborted (no error message)

E: Error executing updater binary in zip 'sdcar

Error flashing zip '/sdcard/du_dlx_20140212-231

updating parttion details
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
Alright, I'm working on it. Somehow the updater binary is corrupted. I replaced the updater-binary with the one from Team Gummy and it flashed fine. I don't know how to actually fix that though.
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
Okay, the new link should flash fine for everyone. I just replaced the updater-binary as a workaround until I figure out the root of the problem.
[HTC Droid DNA] d08speed3:
This is very tempting! So many new ROMs so little time!

HTC DNA

LG Optimus G
[HTC Droid DNA] mike_augie:
really like this rom so far .. the only thing I cant seem to find or figure out is there anyway to change to hardware key to long press recent app button to show menu ????
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
Yeah unfortunately I don't think it has that option. I rely on that very heavily as well.

Once I get the updater binary issue fixed we should be able to make it official and then I'll see if fill hardware key remapping can be added
[HTC Droid DNA] hawkstwelve:
Maybe its just me but my signal bars are black/not showing anything but I'm getting reception/data? On latest build with PA GApps 2/13.
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
Mine have been doing that but data works fine. I don't know if it's a device specific bug or not.
[HTC Droid DNA] mike_augie:
Mine seems to be working fine also .. no difference that I have noticed in my signal strengths
[HTC Droid DNA] hawkstwelve:
Well I just flashed your 4.2.2 kernel separately over my set up and all seems fine now. Regular gray bars and data all working.

This ROM flies by the way. Super snappy. Good work. Thank you.
[HTC Droid DNA] eriknors:
I'm experiencing very abnormal data connections. I know that's not very descriptive or helpful in explaining anything but that's really the only way I can describe it. I can't seem to get my APN settings to survive reboots, when I *#*#4636#*#*--->Phone information---> under cell networks its blank, I have LTE, I'm stumped. Any ideas?

[HTC Droid DNA] eriknors:
I wonder if it has to do with us not having an official kit kat kernel from source?

Just fyi Settings FCs when you try to enable a different keyboard other than Google Keyboard. Not only through whatever keyboard app, but also when you go into Settings > Language & Input > Default Keyboard.

Not that big of deal, just something I noticed. Tried with Kii and Swiftkey.
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
There was another ROM with the same issue and someone ousted the solution, I can't find it for the life of me right now. It was something like closing play store while the keyboard is installing, then rebooting something like that...
[HTC Droid DNA] Gungrave223:
Umm not sure about before i started messing with the difference rom settings, but dont seem to have an led charging light now :confused:

umm really bad 4G download speed as well
[HTC Droid DNA] mike_augie:
anyway there would or might be a update in the works ... looks like some fixes that might make this better than it already is ?Just wondering
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
I don't know. I'm kind of frustrated with this one right now because of the failed flash thing. I've tried everything I can possibly think of. I think I'm going to continue doing builds and just replace the updater binary but I really wanted to get it working properly so we could have official support.
[HTC Droid DNA] mike_augie:
Yea thats kidna weird .. hope you can get it figured out .. I really am liking this one ...
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
I just tried another build. Still fails to flash. I think maybe or doesn't like that I'm using Arch Linux. I may try another build on my MacBook Pro, which is running Ubuntu. I think at this point I should probably give up though. [MENTION=5285997]zawata[/MENTION] i don't know what os you use , but if you feel like giving this a try you are welcome to. Perhaps you'll have better luck than I did. You are welcome to look at my github for the derive tree, and if you want I can send you a patch that will fix all the kernel build errors without interfering with m7 builds, so that if it flashes correctly we can get official support.

EDIT: here's the patch
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
What's the problem?

I use Ubuntu 13.10 x64

---------- Post added at 01:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 AM ----------

EDIT: if its a failed flash, I've got a solution for you :D

Well not a solution but it will definitely help
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
It fails to execute the updater binary. If I replace the updater binary with one from another ROM, it flashes fine, but that's a workaround and not a solution. That's what I did for the build that's currently posted.

Oddly enough, it flashes just fine as a secondary ROM in multirom.
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
Alright, can you post a corrupted build for me?

I learned how to troubleshoot failed flashes a while ago and it will be easier if I do it :)
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
Yeah, I think i have it on my phone. I'll post it in a few minutes

Open the META-INF/com/Google/android/updater_script(its a plain text file) of both roms(working and not)

And compare the first 23 lines with each other

What that error shows is that your problem lies around there

EDIT: did you say you fixed it by replacing the updater_script or updater_binary(they're different)
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
[MENTION=5285997]zawata[/MENTION] I replaced the binary with the one from teamgummy.
