If you made a backupour stock rom after su setup and custom recovery then yes you can as long as you are on the same bootloader the stock rom was on. Just restore after a thorough full wipe and use the the triangle away tutorial from the point after you should have opined back to stock, installed custom recovery and su. But you should Odin back anyways because this is unfounded and gremlins don't like to be aborted. Just remember you want to send your phone in for warranty and you want to eliminate all modded softwares and Odin will eliminate the leftovers!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deloreancowboy:
I've been having a strange issue with my phone for the past two days.

It started last night when the phone turned itself off. If I plugged it into the charger I was able to get it into fastboot and then bootloader, but then it would turn itself off. It would not boot into the system at all. I tried this many times before I gave up until this morning.

This morning I was able to go into fastboot and then into bootloader. I was then able to flash ViperOne 5.7 and ElementalX 13.0 back onto the phone and it worked! I was so happy. Until about 5PM when the phone turned off again. I was able to reflash the ROM and KERNEL and it turned off after about 15 mins of use. Reflashed again and it turned off after a couple of hours. I was able to get into fastboot when plugged into a charger at first, but now nothing.

The exact experience I am currently having is that when I plug the phone in the charger the LED flashes red about once every five seconds until it stops completely. If I plug it into my computer it will give me the windows sound that's plugged in.

Holding the power button for two minutes does nothing. Trying to turn it on with a bright light near the sensor does nothing. I am now not even able to hold the power and down volume to get into fastboot.

I'm not sure what else to do. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

I was wondering if anyone of you can help me with the steps to activating Google Now voice search from the home screen. I got the 4.4.2 update yesterday and thought saying Ok, Google from the home screen would activate the search. It works if I'm already in search but I saw a youtube video of someone with Sprint S4 Kitkat being able to to do it from the home screen.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAi7sIM5rwg

Thanks for any assistance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Donalddesu:
You need the google experience launcher aka Google now launcher to do that. Find it and download it, it's waaaaaaaay better than the touchwiz launcher anyway.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
Then just activate voice in search.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] samaruf:
So in the youtube video, the Sprint S4 is running GEL and not Touchwiz?

I did get a hold of the GoogleHome apk and was able to get voice activated search working from the home screen while using Google Launcher. The thing is I truly like the Nova Launcher that I have on now and some of its features are not available in the stock launcher ( multiple sliding dock items, changing icons, etc.)

So I thought it may just be me but after getting a fee people to test it seems this site is trying to install malicious software when you visit and are not logged in (mobile device) I've included some screen shots as I think this is quite a big security breach with the amount of users here..

Isn't the while point if the forums to stop things like this? I sure as hell don't expect XDA DEVS to need to install this app on my own phone. I was under the assumption that developers could be trusted on here so why the need for this? Also a simple search on Google flags it as malware

The original md5 files were:

If I'm on MF3 will it still allow me to flash the 4.4.2 ROM or will I first have to upgrade to MK2?

Great work though!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] NighthawkXL:
Your need to upgrade to MK2 first...

At this point MK2 is likely the better of the two (outside of the old Loki-compatible basebands) due to the larger number of ROM's and the kernel bypass that works because of Saferoot. Safestrap also works great on MK2, still no progress on the kexec that Hash is working on though.

Before posting this I made sure to go through all comments, so if i missed something, i apologize.

I had official NB1 flashed as soon as it came out, so know i wanted to give it a try with your method to finally get a root.

I downloaded all the necessary files from this post, downgrade to MK post and Deadly Venom rom 3.0.

I copied rom and nb1 modules files on SD card

I downgraded to MK2, rooted and safestraped it, and it worked great (except i didn't have any wifi or apn settings).

I went to SS recovery made a full wipe (not including microsd and system, coz i was not sure about the system. might be where all my troubles hide at)

I installed DV rom, booted into download and odined 3 files from DV tool kit.

Now i am stuck at DV boot animation running in loop for about 20 minutes.

Please help me and tell me if i am doing something wrong.

Awesome tool! I am now running Shostock with root. Thank you! One question, I can remove/uninstall Safestrap now, right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] tuffluck:
Just wanted to point out that I've been running GE24 for a week now and no issues. I did get a "there is no OS installed" error in SafeStrap when I flashed the volume add on for GE, however the message was false and the OS booted up fine. Otherwise GE seems to be better than stock ever was.

Question for rebel or ted, the guys in the GE thread recommend NB1 over MLD. Can we flash that file? I'd assume not since this kit only includes an mldmodules zip and not an nb1modules zip...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rebel1699:
The modules and kernel need to match. Since you odin the mld kernel, you install the mld modules. Nb1 files are all in version 1 of the tools. If you are having no issues, continue with what you have. No reason to switch anything up.

Remember- Anytime you want to flash ANYTHING in ss, odin the mk2 ap file first. Flash mods in ss, then odin mld ap file back in. Boot, enjoy. This is because ss cannot mount system while mld boot.img is installed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] tuffluck:
Good advice - no issues, don't mess with anything. In fact, I like GE so much that I probably won't make any changes until 4.5 comes out.... Assuming no issues before then :)

Yes, you can backup your stock slot. Odin mk2 ap file, backup stock slot in ss, odin mld/nb1 ap file (depending on the version you are using) and boot back to your 4.4.2 rom. Enjoy! To restore it, follow the same procedure, except exchange backup with restore.
