[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devo7v:
So you're going to run into another problem then, the bootloader on this phone is locked so you will not be able to flash anything that isn't signed by Samsung. If we were able to flash things to the phone then we would be able to root and install custom recovery. You're pretty much screwed, you still don't have a way to get the efs on to your phone.

The ML2 Odin files should fix the issue you're having, but as you mentioned before it isn't. Did you flash the ML2 bootloaders? If you didn't then you can always downgrade to MF1 or MI2 and root the phone. I'm sorry I can't help you, but you really don't have any way of getting the modifying the efs folder on your phone without root.

EDIT:

Work has been completed. The zip will be released at approximately 8PM PST/11PM EST on 3/15/14 pending upload times. Thanks for the support guys!

So I am in the process of porting 4.4.2 in its entirety to the Droid Maxx/Ultra/Mini. I'm posting this because Im excited to let the community know its running! I'm using the Official 4.4.2 firmware from the Moto X as source but It is definitely a work in progress. The major issue is the double buttons. If anyone wants to help out pm me! Screens below! Rest assured it is running on my maxx as we speak. Overall I prefer it to 4.4 any day.

Things to do:

Update Build info to reflect the correct device information.

Edit framework to remove on screen buttons and use native Droid Maxx buttons.
[Droid Ultra General] Einsteindks:
Well, if you can do this with 442 from the MotoX, duplicating it with the Droid sbf/XML 442 should be a snap (when it is released)? This eventually flashable via Safestrap for us who have locked Boots, but rooted 44?

fat-fingered and Maxx-ed out.
[Droid Ultra General] Jaocagomez:
This should be on original development, but I think you just are installing the 4.4.2 Moto x software on your phone, so it's not that original i talk about this in the thread on my signature
[Droid Ultra General] dxl880517:
Hi . I would like to support your work! I am using a bootloader unlocked droid mini. I flashed the moto x 4.4.2 rom. But there`s no sound, do you have an idea about it ? I think it was driver related..
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
Top snake if you need a hand testing I will assist other than that I can't help I have no idea how to do what you do.

---------- Post added at 01:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------

Thanks for doing this I can't run a ROM they get rid of the two things in that make this phone unique/useful touch less control and active notification. 4.2.2 without this is a deal breaker that is why I got rid of pax mans ROM. Oh and the damn on screen buttons.
[Droid Ultra General] danger2u:
can i do the same thing with an european version of Android 4.4.2 ?

thanks
[Droid Ultra General] danger2u:
can u try with european firmware and let us know if works?

thank u
[Droid Ultra General] Dragon31337:
Tip

In order to get rid of onscreen buttons:

/system/build.prop

qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
[Droid Ultra General] rds217:
Don't forget the twist to open the camera app. These phones have the two always-on low-power processor cores (one for always listening, the other for sensing motion). Without software to take advantage of these features, all those cores will do is drain the battery.
[Droid Ultra General] Dragon31337:
BTW: you can get rid of onscreen buttons with XPosed framework!
[Droid Ultra General] freak900:
Can Droid Ultra switch with Moto X Firmware to other LTE Bands (800/1800/2600) like Moto X?

Thanks lot for the hard work
[Droid Ultra General] Topsnake:
Im pretty sure it has to the framework res apk. Just figuring out exactly to change is the issue

It should work if you live in Europe

Droid Maxx "Developer Edition"
[Droid Ultra General] Dragon31337:
Use expose to turn off these onscreen buttons, it works fine.

(You have to be rooted)
[Droid Ultra General] Summersett:
I think he wants the ROM to have them off already so that there is no inconvenience to the user when they install it. Not every user would want to go through the extra steps to install Xposed and the correct module(s). It's a much better solution if it can be made to just flash and go.
[Droid Ultra General] Topsnake:
Exactly my thoughts.
[Droid Ultra General] Summersett:
I'm flirting with the idea of going to 4.4.2 and poking around. Topsnake, why do you say you prefer it so much to 4.4? All I found for changes were data stability, transparent notification bar, all white icons/text in notification bar, and some reports of battery drain. Is it really worth it?
[Droid Ultra General] Summersett:
I'm still not on 4.4.2 so I can't confirm, but my guess would be that if the Moto X has it, it will, and if it doesn't, it won't. The 4.4.2 ROM you would be flashing is for the Moto X, but it works on our Maxx. So active notifications still would work since Moto X has that natively, and wireless charging would not.
[Droid Ultra General] Topsnake:
Pretty much the combination of what you stated. Just something different I suppose.
[Droid Ultra General] krazie1:
Hope you figure out the in screen buttons to turn them off
[Droid Ultra General] Jaocagomez:
why not use the metod of my signature, i even include a zip to disable onscreen buttons and use capacitive buttons.
[Droid Ultra General] Summersett:
You state in that method "that framework only works on android 4.4." mutoubj also states HERE that the flashable zip doesn't work on 4.4.2. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
[Droid Ultra General] Topsnake:
Profit.

Keys Removed, stock buttons working.

Build.prop will remain unchanged unless it bothers someone that much.

Compiling full guide now with modified framework for tethering provisions.
[Droid Ultra General] danger2u:
wirelles charging??
[Droid Ultra General] Topsnake:
No idea, I don't have the equipment to test

Droid Maxx "Developer Edition"
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
So where can we down load this top snake
[Droid Ultra General] danger2u:
did u see a change in signal ??

or its the same like on droid firmware?
[Droid Ultra General] Topsnake:
The radio is the same radio I posted a few days ago in the original development subforum. See that for results

Working on it now. Putting the finishing touches on it.

Edited the build info to reflect proper device.

Tether working

Active display glitchy. Actual display works but the button under the clock isn't visible. Can still select.
[Droid Ultra General] Topsnake:
EDIT:

Work has been completed. The zip will be released at approximately 8PM PST/11PM EST on 3/15/14 pending upload times. Thanks for the support guys!
[Droid Ultra General] danger2u:
for flashing moto x radio band i need to be unlocked??

:confused::confused:
[Droid Ultra General] Topsnake:
For the radio alone no. You should be rooted though
[Droid Ultra General] danger2u:
i will have 4.2 on my droid maxx

so i ll be able to flash the radio from 4.4 t mobile moto x?

thanks and sorry for disturbing u
[Droid Ultra General] Topsnake:
You should but I haven't personally done it.
[Droid Ultra General] Jaocagomez:
When you finished ask a moderator to move this thread to development or make a new one there
[Droid Ultra General] Topsnake:
Completed. Uploaded in development section.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] lunerceli:
I am developing CM11 for the Korean models of the S4. Right now I am currently running the build I just compiled. Here is a list of what is not working:

USB Storage : no /emulated/0/sdcard error when trying to mount or download anything not from play store.

Video Camera

Camera takes blank pictures : believe this is because of the storage issue

No sound : we use the yamaha chipset

Can't make or receive calls

I am trying to figure out how to fix the USB storage bug on my end but I think I am at a loss. As for the other issues, I think that just might be the kernel side of things, but not for sure. Can someone help me out with a little advice for some of these issues? Thanks.

Edit: I forgot to add that with not being able to make or receive calls, I do have data (2g, 3g, and LTE). So I really don't know what is going on.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] lunerceli:
Okay, so now I have everything working except for the making/receiving phone calls and the sound. Is there anyone that might could help me with this?? I really don't know what I am doing when it comes to the kernel and getting things like that working. I know that on the native touch wiz system that my CBD file is located under the root dir under sbin, but on the CM version I have to put it in the system/bin folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] lunerceli:
Seems like I am asking the wrong question

Okay, since it seems like the wrong question is being answered here. Here is the correct way to ask this. While working with the kernel, how do I know what modules I need for audio, signal and everything else to work with Cyanogenmod??
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] garwynn:
Sorry, just saw this - is that a Exynos or QC variant?
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] lunerceli:
It is a exynos varient with yamaha audio. It is also LTE. Thank you for any advice you might can give.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] garwynn:
If you're still having issues, I would check your device tree against this:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_i9500

and vendor blobs against this:

https://github.com/TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_samsung/tree/cm-11.0/i9500

From what I've been reading the SHV-E300 is a i9500 variant so they should be nearly identical.

You should be able to use that device tree and the kernel referred as a comparison.

The list of proprietary files in device tree should also help make sure you grabbed everything off of the stock ROM that you need.

Good luck! Hope this helps you straighten out the remaining issues!
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] lunerceli:
Thank you for the advice, but I have already been using parts of the I9500 to get to where I now. I just completed another build last night after playing around with the ramdisk but it wouldn't boot. LOL ... I still don't have sound or calling. I know that with the SGS2, they don't have an audio folder in their device tree for the Yamaha audio. I don't know if I need one or not since I cannot find any lib file or driver that corresponds to audio. My question though is that I did find a file that has the same layout as the es325_fw.bin file that the I9500 uses. I can't remember the name of it right now, but it is filename_fw.bin. Do you think that could be my audio? As far as calling goes, I know that on the stock firmware, the pda and the baseband both have to be the same in order to make or receive calls, so how am I supposed to do that one for CM??

[MENTION=4194834]garwynn[/MENTION] .. I just built another aplha build, and I just realized I can't get the usb mass storage to show up when the phone is connected to the computer. Any advice for that??
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] garwynn:
Any of those .bin files that you think are missing in the blobs.... I'm of the opinion that you can throw them in and test adding/removing one at a time to see if it changes. The logcat may also help give clues as to what is going on.

USB storage = check your build.prop and see what options you have set for USB. you could also edit your usb script to force usb mass storage.

I need to check on the firmware question. I though this wasn't the case, you just need a valid fingerprint and ROM doesn't have to match baseband. Is it possible that some of the RIL blobs may be missing?
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] lunerceli:
I just compiled another build. I made sure that the build fingerprint was exactly like it should be. When I installed CM11, I went to about phone and it showed that my fingerprint was KVT49L and not the KOH49T that I had set it to. It kept telling me to insert sim again, which I think I may have fixed. As far as the sound goes, I went through all the bin files and looked them up on google. They all pertained to video and not audio. Inside my stock system, there is a ysounds.xml with a reference to etc/ymc/param. Here is a pastbin of the ysounds.xml file if you wouldn't mind looking at it and letting me know what you think.

YSOUNDS.XML

I have never developed for a high end device before, so this is none the less getting really interesting and fun. LOL.

When looking through the file, it looks almost exactly like the mixers_path of I9500.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] lunerceli:
New build with audio changes in my device/audio folder caused the system not to Boot. It got to the cm loading screen and there it stayed. Any ideas??
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] garwynn:
Able to get a logcat?
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] lunerceli:
Nope. Adb sets on waiting for device for about 5 minutes and then says no devices available.

[MENTION=4194834]garwynn[/MENTION] , I just got a new build. I have the correct fingerprint and it is still ending the call as soon as I dial the number. I tried using the yumc files that I had found that were on the phone, but still no sound. I am going to try to add the other files like the ysound and the files it references to the build as well to get sound, but I don't know. It is worth a shot I reckon. LOL. Also, I looked in the build.prop file and there is nothing in there about usb or storage. So I don't know what is going on with that one. I am going to check more on it and see what is going on. Do you have any more advice that you might can give? I don't know if I have said this before, but this is the first time that I have developed for a high end device so this is proving to be a challenge. LOL. Thank you again.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] eungholee2:
I've been dropping by here a lot lately hopeing for some updates~ anything new? :)

btw, thanks for trying so! I know nothing on building, and yet its hopeful to see someone working on this!
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] lunerceli:
None as of late I am afraid. I havent had much time to work on things. My system had crashed so I had to get back to where I was. Lol. I did however get the storage bug fixed, the mic can hear things but still cannot transmit sound. It is a pita working with this stupid yamaha dac. Hopefully soon though.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] eungholee2:
Isn't the Yamaha DAC the same as in the lte-a models? (E330K/S) -They have roms for that model, so maybe you could try pulling them from there ;)

also, there's a patch for MIUI that I found here: http://opnay.tistory.com/23 that has working audio I think, but you can't end calls.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] lunerceli:
Sadly its not. The e330 models use the qualcomm and wolfson chips. It sucks but I think I know where the hickup is. Just have to learn more about the kernel to fix it. When I go to build, it tells me that there are uninitialized modules for the kernel and to recompile the kernel with the modules enabled. So when I have time I will delve into that.

As far as that pitch goes, I looked into it and it was 4.3 so that would lead to a dead end. Also it was specific to MIUI. I am trying to ask for help from seasoned developers but never get an answer back from most of them. Only a couple have given me advice. Lol. So if you know if anyone that would like to help, just have them pm me . thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] tharindunw:
please add the ultra power saving mode as you can
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] lunerceli:
On my test builds it usually goes about a day and a half using wifi and playing games. So that's not that bad. Lol. I am still working on it though.

thank you good luck love you dev
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] eungholee2:
The guys at Dokdo Project have working sound! but no phone calls as of yet. They seem pretty slow to update, I'm checking out their blogs, but still a no go as of yet.

It's all in korean, but if you want to give them a shot:

http://dokdo-project.com/

---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

just another quick tip: Apparently in Korea they have usim (simcard) locks that prevent other models from calling,

You have to manually change the build.prop and change the ro.product.model= to whatever your model is, in my case:

ro.product.model=SHV-E300K

also, I think this might apply to other places in the build.prop as well, but haven't been able to go that far.

[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] lunerceli:
I have been eating their dokdo project.. I downloaded it and had to change quite a bit of stuff to get it working. But the only have sound. No working calls or data. I provided the fix to them though. I currently have everything working except for calls. I have to fiddle with the ril wrapper a little bit.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] tharindunw:
what is the step now I am waiting for it
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] lunerceli:
Right now I am still working on the sound issue still.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] eungholee2:
Sweet :) looking forward to hearing from you again.

It's unfortunate that there aren't as many devs in the korean android market as there are abroad.I just saw your post on their facebook page! keep up the good work! :D
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] lunerceli:
Yeah, I have tried to get in contact with them for a while now but they never answer though. I did how ever find out that they are not building from complete source. They are taking the i9500 source and changing a few values to match theirs and then taking out certain parts. They build the i9500 rom like normal, then after that they are just porting the rom like you see so many others do without putting in the work of doing it correctly. As fas as their working kernel goes, they are just using the stock kernel with a modified ramdisk. The reason that I know this is because I have built using their sources changing nothing and it wouldn't even boot. After that I switched back to my build and used their the kernel from their repository and got the same results. I know it isn't he way that I am doing things because I build using my trees and ramdisk and everything is good except for the sound and calling. Right now though I am out of the loop with building. I am currently moving back to thw states. Once I get back and get set up, then I will continue to build and try to bring it all to our device. Thank you for your support.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] Freaky_Friday:
Patiently waiting to test :D

You're my hero. I've been waiting for a CM port to throw on my SHV-E300K since I bought it a year ago... this Samsung interface is driving me batty.

When will release it I am still waiting
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] intika:
Hello,

Good to know that someone started working on an Original Rom :)

I got a E300K a week ago, i am willing to compile the kernel and may be port the I9500 afterward... any way [MENTION=3224066]lunerceli[/MENTION] we could work together to get something done if you still want to

Ler me know ;)

You need to flash this twrp (attached tar file) using is in

This rom is not made by me

It is made by a dev called serenity

I have the newest qtek rom and used the MSN_notify.cab file to have the option to disable notifications for ppl comming online.

But it doesn't work. I still get a popup and hear a sound, even when the options are turned off.

Is there a different one?

I also still have the problem that my HTC won't come out of sleep after letting MSN signed in. It never does it when msn is not running on when it is on power (then it never turns off offcourse).

(searched on messenger notification and msn notify but didnt find anything)

Hey Guys.

Got the T-Mobile Galaxy note 3. They finally pushed the update for me to 4.4.2

I used CF auto root as usual to root my phone.. and now I am stuck in boot loop....

It it will not allow me to enter download mode so i can get back into odin to flash the .md5 file so I can fix it.

Also cant get into recovery mode to try and fix anything there. It just keep rebooting before i can do anything..

Is my phone a brick?

What should i do?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DustinD1986:
Okay well i got it out of boot loop.. not really sure how.. But how do i go about rooting 4.2.2>

Obviously CF auto root isnt working.

Check here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Anonymous777:
My phone did the EXACT same thing....this is what you do to fix it. Pull your battery and then put it in Odin mode. Then from your computer open up odin and click the PDA option and this time flash this file right here..... 900t-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.4(1017).tar Once you've done that your phone will be back to normal. Good luck!
