Hello all. I have two galaxy s3 currently with moar 9 and dkp.

My wife's phone loose the sound time to time and the only way to get it back is rebooting. It only happens with 4.3 stock or custom rom. Anyone else? Or is a known issue?

Sent from my SPH-L710
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
First question is, why didn't you post up on the MOAR thread ? The second question is, did you do a clean flash ? Did you restore any data ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] csmasn:
I didn't in the MOAR because it's happening even stock. Yes I always do clean flashes. And no data restore.

I just came back from quick coffee grab and tried to find some free surfing grounds. Turned on wifi, didn't connect. Loaded up wififofum just for the fun of it, and found out that there were several networks in the area. Some of them had wap on so I didn't mind not being able to connect to those, but the attwifi network (which I should be able to connect to because Barnes advertises them there and whatnot) and two other networks (which I think were classified as device-to-device) would not connect for the life of me. So:

1) What exactly is device-to-device

2) Should I suspect my device or just crappy luck?

2a) Any suggestions?

Moreover, I can only remember getting access in 2-3 places, and I only rely on getting access at my home.

Thank you very much in advance for whomever finds the time. I just want to see the soccer scores on my phone!

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NCirie:
Hello. I recently replaced my xperia play with another xperia play cuz I love it so much. I had Quake 1 installed on the old phone purchased from the play store back in 2011. The developer was Jack Niu (published his source code) and per my request he was able to release a version on 1-15-12 that made the touch icons disappear so I could play on my Xperia Play (with controls) and no touch screen icons blocking my view.

I still have all the pak files on my SD card for the game, however, the game has been removed from the play store and I cannot re-install. The only file I was able to recover was the "tk.niuzb.quake.asec" file from when I copied the SD card.

Does anyone know how to get this back to the apk file that I originally paid for and installed on my old phone? or since the source code is published, is anyone willing to share apk that would allow me to play this without touch screen icons?

Taken one step further, I would be willing to make a substantial paypal donation for any developer willing to make this happen?

All I really want to do is be able to play Quake 1 on my Xperia Play without those annoying touch screen icons.

Thanks ahead for reading and hope someone can help me out.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] meraz9000:
Hello there fellow XDA peeps. I figured out the way to root the OFFICIAL OTA 4.3 Update. Build Number UCUBML2.

1. Download the the following file http://www.mediafire.com/download/x4n952wzyr3eobd/pwnedkernel.tar.md5 and flash it with odin under PDA. I pulled the boot.img from the 4.3 leak and as we all know it is vulnerable to saferoot and other root method around.

2. After phone reboots enable USB debugging mode try using saferoot or Vroot..google it... it will work .

3. Because this is an older kernel, wifi and some other stuff dont work but dont panic. Flash the next file https://www.mediafire.com/?08j1wqn0x7igjq0 with odin under PDA . This is the stock ML2 kernel.

4. After phone reboots launch Supersu and allow the binary to get updated. Also disable that pesky Knox :laugh:

5 .???

6. Profit. Enjoy your rooted apps and safestrap :good::good:

P.S. I have the 4.2.2 modem because I had to repair the imei of the phone..but just ignore it. and again enjoy

Credits to all the people that came up with the kernel exploits like Saferoot etc.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] meraz9000:
Did you reflash the stock ML2 kernel? The MI2 kernel from the leak breaks wifi
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] tet1:
Yes I did .. I got this issue from month a go when released the 4.3ML2 and today i rooted it my phone. i tried to fix it but i couldn't fix it

Sunderewar ..how did you flashed baseband version Mf1 on your phone.. can you telling me the way how .thank you
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] meraz9000:
flash stock ML2 Odin file. Then Flash the MF1 Modem with odin.... I can upload the file later..In download mode your system status must read official otherwise Odin will fail.

Edit : heres the file . Flash it under Phone in ODin NOT PDA http://www.mediafire.com/download/144if4s5ah5vqk7/modem.bin
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] gatoraid84:
He didnt. Somone put together boot image odin tar that is what you are flashing boot image only
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
I'm going to guess that's a typo, but I'm not exactly sure where you're reading that from, can you post a link to it?

I would suggest reading a lot more about android and exactly what you're doing before going any farther. By doing things in this thread, especially with Odin you have the potential of bricking your phone essentially turning it into a paperweight.

http://www.androidayos.com/2014/03/31/root-4-3-i537ucubml2-galaxy-s4-active-sgh-i537/

I am aware of the bricking and warranty voiding but I am willing to do risk it. But yes, I will research a little bit more on the subject.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Astrus:
YES! I finally got it to work, I have root. My problem is updating the binaries for supersu, just kinda hangs there for a long time and doesn't do anything, says if it doesn't update in 5 min to restart phone and try again. Any other way to update the binaries?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] ledocbio:
hi all

I installed and rooted using this method... works great overall

thanks OP

just one caveat: I seem to lose connection again and again (0 bars)

any idea what might be going on?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Astrus:
I need to add that when I restart or turn off my phone I lose root and have to go through the process all over again. Should I just never restart my phone to avoid that?

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] SprMario7:
ok guys I need help. Ive done exactly what the OP states step by step. But Im not getting root. I get root failed after I try updating binaries. However when I reboot my phone the splash screen has the unlocked custom logo under samsung. What am I missing my phone knows I did somethign just not enough to get proper root. What do i do?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jkeuclid:
I messed up the first time through and forgot to run saferoot after flashing the pwndkernel. After you first flash the pwndkernel succesfully, exit out of ODIN disconnect and reboot the phone. Then run the saferoot "install.bat", then plug in your phone and hit enter and it'll do the root.

What helped me the 2nd time was to re flash the stock ML2 firmware in ODIN then basically start over, had a ton of help from gatoraid84 on page 11 of this thread. Hope this helps!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Astrus:
Ok I have worked out all the issues I was having. Here's what I did if anyone else has issues. My problem was getting my phone to keep root after restarting my phone. I did everything in this order and its now keeping root.

1. I flashed the pwnedkernal. It flashes and then phone restarts automatically.

2. Restarted phone again. This is an important step apparently.

3. I Rooted using V-root.

4. When V-root was done, I restarted phone again.

5. Flashed originalkernal. It flahses and restarts phone automatically.

6. Restarted phone once again.

I think its important to restart every time you complete a step.

Anyways thanks all. My only problem is that Supersu will not update the binaries. It keeps saying failed to update binaries restart phone and try again. I do have root though, rootchecker confirms it. After rooting I now have an app on my phone called V-root, it seems to do similar functions as supersu. However, I would still like to get supersu working...anyone have any ideas how i can get it to update binaries?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] DL2000820:
Do i need USB driver or Kies to use Odin properly?

My Odin is 3.09 and doesnt have a PDA option but only BL,AP,CP, and CSC. Do i need a different version of of Odin?

with this erase any data?

Most of these questions came up when i was trying to answer my questions with this guide: http://www.androidayos.com/2014/03/31/root-4-3-i537ucubml2-galaxy-s4-active-sgh-i537/

And is this guide ^ accurate?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Caboose27:
Two questions that are keeping me from understanding the instructions. What is odin, and what is PDA? And where do I get them? Tried one download site and gave up when I was hit by a ton of malware and could only find broken links from there on out.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jkeuclid:
See ODIN Flashing Guide
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Caboose27:
That's one of the broken links I found for downloading it.

*Edit* Nevermind, found what I was missing on the other link.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jkeuclid:
Also of note, if you want the very latest USB driver, download Kies 3 if you don't already have it and under the menu option "Tools", use "Reinstall device driver".
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] DL2000820:
ok so i shouldn't lose any data or apps, correct? Unless, of course, human error, right?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jkeuclid:
You betcha, backup anything of note, follow those steps and you'll be golden.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Caboose27:
Got it! Now, for installing custom roms, do they have to match your kernel version, or is the bootloader on this effectively open?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] DL2000820:
Well i did it! I thank everyone who helped me :D

Strange thing is it isnt asking me for a binary update. it asked me the first time i opened it up but i didnt allow it because i was on the pwnkernal but now that im on the original kernal and it hasnt asked me for it. Hmmm...
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jkeuclid:
Sadly the BL is locked and will need kernel matches, which to my knowledge are few and far between. Here are some good threads on this discussion:

Fails every time

For some reason flashing the .tar.md5 doesn't work so I took off the .md5 and it was then able to actually go into Odin but it fails every time I try to flash it.in Odin mode it says write protection enabled does that have something to do with it?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jkeuclid:
It should, I'd try re downloading it and right click it to make sure there is no block on it from "unknown" sources etc. Also run ODIN as "Administrator" and see if that helps, good luck.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Crumpbiscuit:
still does not work

it still doesn't work even running as an administrator
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jkeuclid:
hmm very odd, any anti-virus or security stuff running in the background? Boy, I'd look at the ODIN flashing guide below to see if you've covered all the bases on running it correctly, remember those kernels go in the "AP" slot in ODIN 3.09...

Downgrade to 4.2

Ok this process worked perfectly since i am now rooted is there a way to downgrade to 4.2 I need to network unlock
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jkeuclid:
In a word, no. Assuming your phone was at 4.3 to begin with or took the OTA from say 4.2.2, like some did, once you are on a particular ROM you cannot go back, only up.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jmrwiseguy:
Custom unlock icon

I followed the instructions and was successfully able to root my S4 Active that is running 4.3. Unfortunately I get the custom unlock icon when booting. I've searched for how to remove the custom unlock icon and from what I can tell if I remove the superuser app it should make it go away. I do have the supersu installed but I don't have superuser app installed so that doesn't seem to help. Anyone have the custom unlock icon after rooting with the method described here and can explain how to get rid of it? Thanks,
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jkeuclid:
Install Wanam Xposed, then under "Security hacks", "System" category, "Fake system status", you'll see it currently set as "Status set to Custom", just check the box which will change it to "System set to Official" which will then remove the custom unlock icon upon boot and will give "Official Status" to your phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] ShimaMiku:
I personally still use Triangle Away. Still does the job to this day.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jmrwiseguy:
Thanks for the tip Wanam has some cool options but it still shows custom. I downloaded/installed version 2.5.1 of Xposed Framework, then downloaded/installed Wanam Xposed 2.9.4, then activated Wanam in the Xposed Framework app. Multiple reboots along the way but still seeing custom unlock icon when rebooting.

Any other thoughts? I'm running 4.3 on my I537 with baseband version I537UCUBML2.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jkeuclid:
I might be wrong here but I thought I read somewhere that this root method doesn't set any flags so you shouldn't need TA.

Yep same setup as mine, odd as I just did mine again and all went ad it should. Are you running any custom ROMs by chance? My routine is to install Wanam first, then it prompts to install the xposed framework, so maybe uninstall them and try that sequence to see if that helps.

FYI, quick head's up, KK is available now and I'm going to guinea pig myself with it, will update soon...

EDIT: I've now successfully updated to KK following a flash to stock FW from using the root method in this thread.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jason7391:
can anyone please help me. I have my 537 on usb debugging and i flashed to the pwned kernel. but when i go to use safe root it never gets past the *daemon started successfully* can anyone please help me resolve this issue
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jkeuclid:
So, you've successfully flashed the pwndkernel and are stuck at the saferoot step?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jason7391:
nevermind, i realized that my phone had to be under camera mode not under media mode. i have it working now.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jkeuclid:
not necessarily but if that worked for you then so be it :)

when I rooted 4.3 Official, I was on media mode the whole time but after I completed flashing the pwndkernel, I would of course disconnect the phone from the PC, restart the phone then usually I'd revoke the USB debugging authorization then start saferoot then plug phone in and hit enter, then the popup for the USB thing would appear as normal, and then it would just sit there waiting for the device so in that case you'd close the saferoot app, disconnect phone and repeat and all would be good again.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] donkeypunch1122:
pwned succesful cant get safe root to come on myphone getting a message about unauthorized action
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jkeuclid:
Hi, yeah those messages coming up are normal just make sure you also have "Unknown Sources" checked under settings > More > Security..

for saferoot, disconnect your phone and go to your saferoot directory, right click the “install.bat” and run as administrator. Then plug in your phone again and hit “enter” in the install.bat window. Now, a prompt will come up as depicted in the attached pic, just check the box that says “Always allow this computer” and click “OK”. Now, it’ll just sit there and the cursor will blink as if it’s waiting for your device which it is, but no worries. Close the saferoot program, disconnect your phone. Restart the saferoot “install.bat” as administrator, plug your phone back in and hit enter, then it will go thru and do the root as depicted in the 2nd attachment.

Hello all,

I am trying this from a linux machine using heimdall-frontend. I just want to be sure that I am using the software correctly.

Which options in heimdall-frontend would best simulate this procedure?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] namitutonka:
So you prefer a rooted 4.3 rather than an official AT&T 4.4? I thought 4.4 had improvements over 4.3. I assume you will upgrade to official 4.4 OTA after you find how to root it, correct? AND I assume you downgraded to 4.3 because root provides you with more flexible choices as to how and what your phone runs.

I'm 63 and haven't ever had a smartphone except for the last two weeks or so, and I bricked a rooted 4.2.2, then I had to bring it back to AT&T to resurrect it to their official AT&T 4.3. I'm both enthusiastic about rooting my official 4.3 on my I537, but am afraid that (because of my android inexperience) I'll have to drag it back to AT&T to fix it a second time. Such a plethora of rooted tweaking information makes tweaking choices a very chancy business for me.

sagi232123 recommended your "sunderwear method" here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=52412047.

I'm going to turn off OTA updates after I root with your method, but if a root method for the official OTA 4.4 comes along, do you know if I could turn OTA updates back on and upgrade to the official 4.4 version? I will hold off rooting with your "sunderwear method" until I'm reassured of this.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
There is already a root method for 4.4.2. Please review the OP of this thread for information about all the i537 Firmware ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2629093). The root method is a little more complicated than 4.3, so I would hold off until [MENTION=5780393]jkeuclid[/MENTION] releases his noob-friendly guide to rooting. It will make the instructions for rooting much more clear.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] namitutonka:
