There's flashable zip there, but no recovery on 4.4.2 yet
[G2 General] Zulake:
Hmm. But, when you flash that zip you are still on 4.2.2, right? So there should be a custom recovery possible.
[G2 General] fhill122:
Yes, flash when still on 4.2.2. I too wish the recovery comes soon, but at the moment, I'm pretty happy with just root
[G2 General] Zulake:
Oh wait, I got it. The OTA erases the custom recovery so making a systemdump is not possible. Right.
[G2 General] BashanQ:
I wanna reward the genius

Honestly, I will give 30 usd to the first person to root 4.4.2 but also gives us access to a custom recovery. I've watched xda from the sidelines for a long time and now I want to help and contribute. Every week that goes by without my requirements, the funds go up 10 USD. Good luck to both the young and old minds.

thanks.
[G2 General] tester5224:
Same method that NevetsDrassel did with D800 should work also with D802.

Install Vodafone germany JB rom, root using ioroot22 , (with no custom recovery and nothing else like xposed) and check for updates to KK by vodafone OTA.

I've seen this method on D800 in another thread. that guy said that before he installed the OTA, he enabled Survival mode in Super Su app. so maybe it's also needed..
[G2 General] stevessvt:
If you have anything other than stock recovery you will have problems. You must return to stock before installing any OTA update.
[G2 General] AndroidUser00110001:
If you look in AT&T or D802 development thread there is way to install with root. Also for T-Mobile I believe. Good idea but your method won't work. For update to boot and run properly it needs more partitions installed than what recovery backs up...

[G2 General] savoca:
So far I've tried dowgrading the dts files in the new kernel source to 4.2.2 so they would work with the old exploitable bootstack. That didn't work, the new boot.img has a new ramdisk and tags offset, but neither works. The former was "supposed" to be what we needed to do but it's looking a little more difficult at this point. Not giving up though. It could just be a problem trying to load a D801 ROM on my LS980 but so it's possible some D801 testers could get it working instead of me. If anyone is brave enough to try some kernels on D801, let me know. You need to be on 4.2.2 and have the 4.4.2 system.img ready to go.

I've been Googling and searching the forums here on XDA, but to no avail. I cant seem to find a flashable hotspot MOD for the stock 4.4.2 ROM (rooted, not s-offed). Would the One Max MOD work? I'm asking because I don't want to flash and find out that my new M7 is now a glorious paperweight.

[HTC Desire C] bugkillr:
I was using my phone just normally. And wow was it running since two days, no problems whatsoever I had since long time, no signal drops, no "NO SIM CARD" errors. Suddenly tonight I was just chatting on Whatsapp the screen went gradually dim and OFF! I tried pulling out battery and switching it ON again but no, it won't start. Is it bricked? If no, what are the remedies? If yes, how?

Additional Details:

CM build#3

NOPE 750MHz

2 days back, it was getting restarted on its own sometimes. Strange! And now this...
[HTC Desire C] Quasar:
It's not bricked. Try connecting it to the PC and see if there are any signs of life or try booting into bootloader
[HTC Desire C] bugkillr:
Already tried that. No signs whatsoever. :(
[HTC Desire C] Quasar:
Tried replacing the battery or something?
[HTC Desire C] bugkillr:
I don't have a spare one. I'll try to find one from my circles. I'll pay a visit to an HTC centre probably.
[HTC Desire C] szczypiorek:
In my opinion, it's not really possible to totally brick the phone by flashing wrong rom or kernel into it. I think you have some problems with hardware, maybe motherboard is damaged, or maybe processor overheated if you OC'd it too high without bothering about the heat he produces. You should pay a visit to the HTC support centre and have your telephone hardware inspected.
[HTC Desire C] bugkillr:
Yes, I'm also suspecting the same hardware issues that you've listed.

Can anyone from India confirm that whether HTC keeps a global record on how many times (and when) was your phone brought to a service centre, OR is it kept ONLY with the local service centre on their hard disk?
[HTC Desire C] Quasar:
Dunno... I've never had to give my phone to a service centre.
[HTC Desire C] bugkillr:
Lucky guy! And what processor are you running on? I was on 750, then switched to 800 for couple hours and then switched back to 750, but 2 days later it broke down!
[HTC Desire C] szczypiorek:
Scholz gitalert

Well, I am using 825MHz NOPE Kernel and phone seems to run smooth without producing too much heat :) Also, I had problems with motherboard in my previous Desire C, so it's possible you got yours damaged same way too. But in my case it appeared as sound problems, and I didn't wait with the service as I listen to the music few hours everyday using my phone, so it couldn't wait :P

And

You can also just go to app manager swipe to the far right to disabled apps and re enable the apps you want. I have re enabled apps disabled by titanium this way.

There is one app disabler that disables apps in a way that doesn't remove them and they cannot be restored this way. I forget the name of it. So beware there are some apps outside titanium this may not work for. If I find the one I used I will post the name.

Thanks for the very fast reply! :) Before I posted the previous comment I had already tried the entire process 3 times just to be sure that I didn't miss anything with still no success.

This is such an extremely messy thread to follow, and I am trying to understand what I need to do to upgrade my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337) from 4.3 (MK2) to 4.4.2 (NB1?) and then root my device, no custom ROM, just root the standard ROM so I can use a few apps that require root.

Can someone list out the steps again, or quote the proper thread as I have seen at least 5 different methods mentioned in this thread alone...:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bufordjustice:
You can't root NB1 yet. No one has figured it out. You have to root MK2 and then flash the custom NB1 Rom to have rooted NB1.

That was what I was trying to understand. Thanks for clearing this up for me, and I am sure others as well.

I was thinking the same thing earlier. We need to really stay on topic here. But realistically, if there was an actual root method for NB1, the creator would start a new thread as opposed to posting it here with all of this mess.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] buggage:
I'm also having the lock screen issue. Wondering if any common theme? I was on MK2 and never took the NB1 update before trying with this method. Previously, I had lock PIN set, as required by my company's Exchange policy, and did not disable any of that prior to wiping/flashing. Same issue, stuck on swipe method. Setting PIN or password, will seem to set, but never comes up with PIN or password screen. When everything was installed, even re-attached to work email, re-accepted the Exchange policies, prompted to enter PIN, but no change. Cleared credentials, etc, and no difference. Everything looks like it should be working, but is not.

Wondering if something wrong or permissions issue possibly with Credential Storage (or some part of it). Found If I try enabling either VPN from Settings -> Connections -> More Networks -> VPN, it prompts to create a PIN, password, pattern. I try (from the only choices available to me PIN or password), then it prompts right back to create again. Prehaps I'll try another rom for kicks and see if any different results.

Ok, We have solution for LOCK SCREEN ISSUE:-

I did the following and I did it consistently 4 times to see whether this is stable or not and everytime I did it worked:

1) First do as told to flash 4.4 prerooted stock rom (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2665336&page=11 - post#108)

2) Then in SS reboot to download mode and Flash files as told earlier (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2665336&page=21 - post #207) - screen shot is as attached.

this definitely resolves the lock screen issue.

Now the only issue is with TEETHRING. I cannot teether my internet connection using foxfi or any such softwares. someone please guide on this thing. My Wi-Fi works fine and so does my 2g/3g/4g LTE but when I want to teether my internet connection so that I could use FFT (Fast File Transfer without FFT my work is just impossible due to nature of my job) - it just keeps saying "invalid sim no internet connection" then when I quarantine/disable TeethringAutomation and TeethringProvision using "App Qurantine" it says "unfortunately settings have stopped" and does not allow me to teether. Mine was always unlocked phone and it all worked fine on 4.3.
