I don't think that's true actually. 3.72 mounts on the 4.3 kernel and I believe it's actually used in the KitKat ROM guide.

Sent from my SGH-I337 running Blackbox 3.0
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rebel1699:
It very much depends. Some can, and some cant. On mine, 3.72 would not mount system with 4.3 boot.img in place. [MENTION=2982241]guut13[/MENTION] reproduced the same issue. So, there is a differing there. The cause of the differing is currently unknown.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] andrewdroid:
Yeah, and the Odin stuff (the magic one, the downgrade to MK2) won't trip Knox right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rebel1699:
As I said in my last response to you and in the instructions, you MUST odin the mk2 ap file to use safestrap to wipe or install. Then to boot a 4.4.2 rom, re odin nb1 files.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cnewsgrp:
Yes I had done that and still got the error. Next time I tried PIT file in addition to mk2 ap file and this time I was able to successfully wipe system, data, cache and dalvik in SS --- Whew made progress

Now I rebooted to SS recovery and installed ROM followed by AT&TNB1KernelModules.zip

Then I hit reboot download and I odin following files ap_nb1_test.tar.md5, bl_nb1_test.tar.md5 and cp_nb1_test.tar.md5

Should I also include PIT file?

I am stuck on Samsung Logo on GoldenEye ROM and on SpiderWeb animation on Venom ROM.

Please help?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rebel1699:
Golden Eye rom is not compatible as ot is right now. However, it can be made compatible with a simple updater-script edit. Also note that with golden eye, you must flash the newest SuperSu.zip right after flashing the rom in order to retain root. I will link it in the op.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cnewsgrp:
I have same issue with Venom ROM - Right now I am stuck on a boot loop with deadly venom spider web boot animation. please help. What should I do?

I have repeated following 2 times

Odin ap_mk2_normal.tar.md5 & pit

Enter SS. Flash Deadly Venom ROM then Flash NB1 modules AT&TNB1KernelModules

Tap "Home". Enter reboot menu, and choose download.

Now open Odin on your pc, and add the NB1 tar files ap>>ap bl>>bl cp>>cp, pit-> pitHit start.

After I do this I am stuck in boot loop with boot animation
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] siccfckk:
Does anybody have BlackBox 3.0 with updater- script available or maybe I can obtain script to implement into zip to use any help would be highly appreciated:D

Black Box 3.0 is compatible as is. No edit needed. Full function and root. But make sure to flash modules to match whichever Version of the tool you are using. Nb1 or mld.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bennyboy78:
Can you post like the lines needed edited? That way if someone wanted to boot another rom they could do it themselves. Thanks :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rebel1699:
I would recommend odin mk2 ap file and pit. Reboot to ss. Wipe and install again (no modules needed with dvss. Already built in). Reboot to download, odin nb1 files and pit. Reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rebel1699:
I will work something up for it. Each script is different. I'll add info to op tonight.

Current state stuck at bootanimation Deadly Venom ROM - I know this file is a good file because I used this file from Stock NB1 - MK2 to Deadly Venom successfully and used it for a day

1) Power off. Reboot into download mode using VOl Down/Home/Power

2) ODIN

Put JFLTE_USA_ATT_16G.pit into PIT slot

Put ap_mk2_normal.tar.md5 into AP slot

both files are from Return2MK2Boot folder

3) Click start. ODIN will complete and phone will reboot.

4) I see safestrap.I click on Recovery

5) Click WIPE. In WIPE menu WIPE dalvik, system, data and cache

6) Install Deadly-Venom-v3.0.0-AT&T-KitKat-S.S-edition-NB1-Final from external SD

7) ODIN

Put ap_nb1_test.tar.md5 in AP slot

Put bl_nb1_test.tar.md5 in BL slot

Put cp_nb1_test.tar.md5 in cp slot

Put JFLTE_USA_ATT.pit in PIT slot

8) Click Start. ODIN will complete and phone will reboot.

9) I see SafeStrap. Click Continue

I am now stuck in Deadly Venom Spider Bootanimation

What do I do?

-- Note I have completed download of I337UCUFNB1 4.4 Stock Odin Tar & System Dump from Thread this POST

File name is ALL_ATT_I337UCUFNB1_I337ATTFNB1_505595_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

Can I just ODIN that file to get to stock NB1?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rebel1699:
Yes, that odin file will take you back to stock nb1.

As far as the process, everything looks correct. Not sure why it is not booting. So far, everyone else is having success. I look at the files again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JustMeToo:
Is this process, Odin MLD, Odin MK2, Odin MLD, something that has to be done again or is it a process that once done I'll have SS functioning with no limitation and I'll be able to revert to stock?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Maribou:
Not true? I know for a fact it wouldn't mount for me. Or anyone else that tried with this method.

And it IS true that NB1 changed the mountpoints. If it wasn't, why did we have to flash the boot.img from MK2 to have a usable SS when this first came about?

I don't know what KK ROM guide you are referring to, but I don't see anywhere in this guide that users are suppose to use 3.71 on NB1.

If it was some other guide, so be it. But it does not work with this method.

If you look at Hashcodes thread it even states that 3.71 is for MK2, and 3.72 is for NB1.

Please don't confuse the users who tying to use this tool for the first time.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ted77usa:
I can confirmed that 4.3 MK2 work best with SS-v3.71 and NB1 work best with SS-v3.72B01. If u planning to use 4.3 JellyBean ROMS just install SS-v3.71 or If u switch back to 4.4.2 KitKat ROMS just install SS-v3.72 is not that hard to install.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] numbR7:
OK--so now I feel better. Seems there is some ongoning confusion. I appreciated the discussion above and was hoping for a definitive answer but it appears there isn't one yet. It seems like one of those deals were everybody is both right and wrong. At any rate, it's cool to have the 3.72 option--I just have to plan for a little back and forth till I can settle on a dd. That's the main reason it was important in the first place I didn't want to get caught testing and setting up a ROM when I needed reliability and functionality. And as you all know, once you find one that suits you it takes awhile to set up exactly how you like it. Back in the good ole days you could keep solid backups in the wings and switchback at anytime regardless of the build. But hey I'm grateful for 3.71 and 3.72 you just get spoiled when you used to actually own the phone you paid for--it's more of lease now--here any way. I have backups of fully setup 4.3 ROMs for different occasions guess I'll just have to setup some more once I learn the ropes with all the 4.4.2 ROMs and settle on 3.72. . I've looked at a couple (the old fashioned way switching odin ap back and forth).

If somebody does come up with the definitive answer please let me know...Thanks

So this is what happened when I tried to install the Deadly Venom Rom before I retried with Chaos...

- Started with MK2

- Placed the rom, SuperSU and modules onto SD card

- Rebooted into SS and backed everything up

- Wiped all but SD card

- Installed Deadly Venom into phone

- Installed SuperSU

- Installed modules

- Rebooted into DL mode

- Ran Odin with BL AP and CP w/ the Deadly Venom extracts

- Phone rebooted

- No longer stuck on Samsung screen but I get this lovely flashing blue lines screen

Seems I just cannot win!

No worries man. I apologize if I came off as being rude earlier, but we have just had so many users having issues with the SS versions lately.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] SimplySweetness:
I used Deadly Venom SS Edition v.2.0.7 from post #2 links. And flashing blue lines screen is pretty much the only way to describe it. No Samsung logo, no nothing. Just blue lines flickering away and no boot. Not too sure considering I've never seen it or heard of it myself. If this weren't my only phone, I could have recorded a video.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Maribou:
I have had that happen to me when I first started using this. Mine was a kernel issue. But since you are flashing the required files, I'm not sure what is happening. I'm not on MK2 BL or I would try it out. :/

I thought so...We can't use that build. Those for non SS users since come with custom kernel....and u said post#2 that was for custom kernel section, I hope u didn't flash one of those custom kernel. If you did then that's why u got Blue flashing lines..... u should follow SS Edition for that build from here:

My best advice to you is to Odin back to MK2 stock firmware from [MK2 ★ FULL ODIN TAR FILES ★ MK2] then start over again and make sure u follow SS Edition that I linked above.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JustMeToo:
I may be making thing even more confusing but the way I see it is that SS 3.71 is for

using

4.3 ROMs and SS 3.72 for

using

4.4.2 ROMs. Notice I didn't mention any bootloader. I'm on MK2, never upgraded, and when I installed a KK ROM I used only 3.72

---------- Post added at 10:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 AM ----------

I'm on GE 28 and I too can not rotate 180° even though I had set in wanam to rotate.

EDIT: I forgot to reboot. After I rebooted it does turn 180°
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Maribou:
Sigh...

I'll say it again, SS3.72 is not compatible with 4.3 (MK2) ROMs. Not without having to juggle boot.img's

It doesn't matter what bootloader you have installed. If you installed a MK2 based ROM and then installed SS 3.72, you would not have a fully functional SS. Not without having to juggle boot.img's with Odin.

Since you installed a KK (4.4.2) based ROM, of course you would only use the 3.72 version of SS. Because you are on a 4.4.2 KK system, not MK2.

I tell you what, I'm going to remove that post I made since it seems to be adding more confusion, and the confusion within this thread about what SS version to use is becoming ridiculous. I was just trying to help. But since it has seemed to cause more problems. IT will be removed.

Thank you, and have a good day.

Apparently 3rd times a charm, and the baseband downgrade stuck and took NB1. As SOON as this occured, the entire process worked flawlessly.

But the phone would NOT boot system without NB1 baseband. NC1 would NOT boot, regardless of anything else.
