There is an understanding in XDA that we don't bug devs for when releases and updates will coming.. I've been around here for several years and I haven't seen that change yet. It's a matter of etiquette and respect for the developer... Just saying.

sent via safestrap 3.72 and echo v25!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] toknitup420:
Hey I agree. I'm just telling people to chill out. I totally get where your coming from and I think its very rude to bug a developer about release updates. They are busy enough as is. I was just trying to lighten the mood. Didn't mean to offend.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shindiggity:
U r in every thread trying to get on people for this or that, learn to bite ur tongue and move on. I know that's hard for people like urself but there would be less friction. Again if he has a problem I think he would say something. If u didn't want aftention from others u would have PM'd me, save the drama.

PS You've been here since 2011
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] toknitup420:
Hey Bob has been nothing but helpful to people on here. If it wasn't for his thread on safestrap compatible Roms then most of the people in here wouldnt be here downloading this ROM. A little respect goes a long way. I've been on this site since 2011 and its always been the same un-written rules when it comes to asking devs about release dates. And the rules are don't do it. I'm not here to argue with either of you. But Bob is right in this case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shindiggity:
First of all the only reason I asked how's it coming is due to the issues with the Rom that him and I have been talking about on the international thread. Just wondering if there were other issues trying to get it to boot. So for anyone who doesn't know the conversation between A and B u should probably not try and be C and mind ur business. Just saying!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
On topic please or no update. Up until now everyone has been great at helping each other let's get back to that. If someone has issue use a PM. Back on topic?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] toknitup420:
Yeah I saw the convo which is why I didn't get on your ass the first time. But you didn't need to be rude to Bob either. And you certainly don't need to be rude to me.

** MDK MUST FLASH LOKI AFTER ROM**
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 318sugarhill:
It's uncool to ask for a timeline for someone else's time and work. Devs donate their time for the rest of us. It's this kind of behavior that causes a stir on XDA in ANY forum, and it's referred to as "entitlement." We as users are entitled to nothing. Whether or not it's "frowned upon" here on XDA or not....it's just bad courtesy. To call someone else out for bringing it to your attention is even worse. If you ever read the S5 bounty thread it was down right ridiculous. People are here to help, but the second you take the "I think I'm right and you're wrong" or the "mind your own business" here mentality....it turns people off, wastes pages of time and reading in a forum, and it just leads to a flame war....where the mods step in, wasting their time and possibly leading to a locked or closed thread.

At the very least, if you partake in this type of behavior, IMHO, you better be throwing some donations out there.

My 2 cents. Now in the words of Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shindiggity:
No one is being rude, I don't need someone getting on me for something they know nothing about. Keep focusing on being helpful to people and not trying to call them out!

---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

I've been here long enough to know what's right and wrong, the conversation was with me and the dev simple as that! Read Our posts on both threads before u judge or call someone out. Thanks again for His hard work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Woot Woot! thanks Friedrick and JDS!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] toknitup420:
OK how's about we all stop arguing about who is rude and who is ignorant and just focus on the ROM. Which was just updated. So why don't we all get our flash on.

---------- Post added at 09:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------

thank you JDS and Fred.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 318sugarhill:
I don't have that kind of time. It's easier to just say thanks you, or not respond. But everyone needs the last word "proving themselves". And unless it's a PM, it's not between 2 people. No more from me. Just keep it respectful to everyone, and learn to play poker...it keeps everyone's ego at the door.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrv331:
I know 25.1 is not up yet but from reading a few pages back do we still have to dirty flash for this to boot?

Also when I installed v25 I did the full wipe which wiped the system and I could not restore any of my SS backups.Kept saying no system and I had to Odin and start all over. Did I do something wrong?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] toknitup420:
I thought I read somewhere that there is a known issue with restoring backups in safestrap 3.72 on vzw. I think. But don't hold me to that though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shindiggity:
Backups work fine with 3.72, just can't use Rom slots.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrv331:
Then when I wipe the system am I actually wiping everthing including SS so basically I have a blank phone?

Can you install just by doing the normal "swipe" on the first screen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] toknitup420:
Oh OK I haven't tried yet. Regarding the dirty flash. I'm pretty sure JDS said he had to do a dirty flash in order to get it to boot up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
+1 I use it all the time. Works fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] toknitup420:
I wipe system every time and safestrap is always there after. Safestrap is stored on your micro SD. Wipe that and your S.O.L.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shindiggity:
Just wipe system and both cache's

Ur backups r on ur sd card under TWRP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] toknitup420:
Hey when going dirty we only wipe cache and dalvik right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shindiggity:
That's what I do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] toknitup420:
OK I can't wait for this. Love having new stuff to flash.

Thanks again JDS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 318sugarhill:
JDS, you are MDK right? I'm still racking my brain over this GPS thing. I'm on v24....fresh install..backed up internal SD card and wiped everything, internal SD, cache, data, system, boot, everything. Tried different kernels and restores.... Still a no go. haven't done v25 as I needed to tether today....wasn't going for the reboot. But now that v25.1 is uploading I'm going to go ahead and clean flash v.25 in preparation to dirty v25.1. Fingers crossed I get GPS to work. This truly is the best 4.4 rom for MDK that I've tried.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrv331:
Then I must be doing something wrong. I did an advanced wipe checking every box but SD card. When was done I went to restore one of my backups and I got a no op system installed message and the restore failed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 318sugarhill:
Is it possible to put a backup on say dropbox to share with others without throwing person info out in the public? like maybe signing out of all apps, and gmail accounts, etc? I've had at times (knock on wood, not on my S4) a backup fail and no longer work. Once when upgrading recovery the MD5 checksum failed. I always keep at least 2 backups but I was thinking of this scenario when someone runs into a problem. ...or are Backups Phone specific?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
You have to be careful in SS. Because its based on TWRP the wrong wipe sequence can wipe everything (hopefully not the Ext SD card) . The better approach is to do a Factory Reset on the Stock Slot; then restore your backup.

You might have wiped the data partition as well. The good news is that your backup should still be on the Ext SD card. You might have to Odin back to stock and work your way back.

Edit: Sorry I'm assuming you're on SS. You didn't mention your recovery. Please disregard if you are on MDK
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
I hate to be a downer, but if you don't have GPS now, you probably won't after flashing new version. The only time I ever had that issue, I flashed an AOSP ROM and got gps, then restored a nandroid to the TW ROM I wanted. That fixed it. Using TW ROM backups or clean flashes didn't work. I forget if you mentioned this, but have you tried to Odin back to stock MDK?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
No problem with restoring backups in safest rap. I've gone between Bajarom and echo all week

sent via safestrap 3.72 and echo v25!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] toknitup420:
Cool beans Dude.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
I have no clue my friend can you get a lock on any other Roms? If you have the same issue with v25.1 maybe do a backup flash a stock rom to get a lock then restore the backup. If you can't lock with any rom it may be hardware related. ☺
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
Oh forgot to tell you guys I also added Echoe's custom keyboard and Floyd boot sound?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrv331:
Yes I'm on SS. Seems everytime I do the full wipe I wind up having to Odin and start over. I'll try just doing the system and both caches when 25.1 comes out.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] toknitup420:
So when you wipe data system cache and dalvick cache it messes up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shindiggity:
Thanks for the extra effort!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] toknitup420:
Can you boot into safestrap after the ROM install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrv331:
Yes. Here's what happens, I do the full wipe and install rom. XX. Don't like it so I do a full wipe again and go to restore a backup. I get an error saying back up failed no system installed. I have to Odin then I can restore the backup. I also have md5 off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mtown_cyclone:
How did you test? Google Maps seems to get a decent location but apps that need precise location like Endomondo and the GPS Status and Toolbox app never get a lock for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ahoslc:
Is V20 on upload I was going to download v18 ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sbcrumb:
I used GPS Test from the play store. Always have used that app when dealing with ROM changes for GPS.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sherdog16:
For those of you having GPS issues: Make a backup, Flash a 4.3 TW ROM (I use eclipse 7), get a lock in maps, boot directly to recovery after lock, restore backup. I keep a nandroid of eclipse around for when I have GPS issues on a new ROM so I would recommend making a backup of the 4.3 ROM while you're in recovery

OK I screwed up somewhere trying to get this done I lost download booster feature I'll try and find a way to add it back in??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 318sugarhill:
Miracle of all miracles happened... Can't really be sure what exactly worked.... But I have working GPS finally on v24. I've done so many restores with different kernels/Roms. Yes I had working GPS on every ROM except Echo.... And that included past versions of echo too. I believe (and I'm so tired I'm not exactly sure) The combo was old&slows 4.3 mk2 ROM with AEL kernel working GPS straight to v24 backup. I know I did this before... Maybe the clean wiping of everything along with it helped.... Who knows...

I am afraid to lose it now... So what's the opinion of dirty flashing v25 and then v25.1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
Make a backup before you lose it lol then you can try dirty flashing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
OK now I'm getting concerned no reports good or bad lol ?

OK still nothing?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] toknitup420:
same here downloading now. do we have to flash modules when going dirty. I know I've asked a bunch of questions about going dirty. I promise this is the last one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
As a SS user I dirty flashed v25 over v24 and had to flash giglie's wifi fix and SU 1.99 as the built n SU wouldn't update the binaries and I had lost wifi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] toknitup420:
Yeah I had to restore back to v25. It wouldn't boot up. Sat on bootlogo for like 10 mins(usually my first boot for any ROM is 3 to 3:30 minutes). The song is badass though. I think this may have something to do with the cobalt theme that I have flashed to v25. Maybe it doesnt get along with the s5 theme that comes with v25.1. I'll try to dirty flash with a stock version of v25. I'll report back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cobra7361:
Cobalt will work on. The s5...should work on the theme too
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] toknitup420:
OK well should I flash cobalt after dirty flashing v25.1. I already have the theme flashed to v25. so I'm thinking I'll have to start with a fresh install of v25 then dirty flash 25.1 and then flash cobalt.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
Try and check your build.prop and see if ro.product.name says jfltevzw or jfltexx it should be jfltevzw
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
Just an FYI when I went from V24 to V25 I couldn't update the binaries in SuperSU 2.0 either even though my phone status showed "Rooted".

I used Towel Root; after which I successfuly upated the binaries.

WiFi Module still is required as you already mentioned.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
Even though you're flashing dirty I would suggest yes
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
If you're using a theme of some kind I would suggest a dirty flash of v25 to restore files then either reboot and dirty flash v25.1 or dirty flash v25 then flash v25.1 right after maybe?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] toknitup420:
OK I'll give that a shot.

Attempted Dirty Flash V25 to V25.1; got system App FC's

Currently doing a clean flash; bootlooping on Samsung Logo; 10 plus minutes

Edit1: Restoring back to V24. Going to re-download V25.1; maybe got a corrupted file.

Edit2: Clean Install from V24 to V25.1 with new V25.1 file >> Bootloop

Dirty flash from V24 to V25.1 >> 25.1 installed but numerous FC's; primarily "Settings" could not load Widgets on Home Screens

Factory Reset 25.1 and reinstalled 25.1 >> Again bootlooped

Next attempt will be dirty flash V24 to V25.1 , then Factory Reset, Reboot.....

stupid question,

When you say you need to reflash loki if you're on MDK, does that mean just reflash TWRP which is already lokied? Or is there something else?
