[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] todd3835:
I'm not going to keep cluttering up the thread. The OP is very detailed. It tells you exactly what to flash. In fact, the files are named in a way that's pretty easy to understand what is what. I've already posted what Modules to flash in SS. If you can't read the OP, then there's nothing I can say to point you in the right direction. It clearly states the *one* file you need that contains everything you need (besides the rom of your choice). Unpacking said file has directories that are clearly mapped out between upgrade and downgrade (which the downgrade didn't work for me, and someone else in the thread posted a link to a thread with very detailed downgrade instructions with copies of a good downgrade file).

I'm really not trying to be a ****, but the reality is, this is not for people that don't know what they are doing. This is my 3rd Samsung phone (Galaxy Prevail, S3, S4). I'm not new to Odin. If I was, this would certainly intimidate me. I was one of the first to publically say this was working besides gogolie, so people obviously are asking me, but the reality is, his directions are pretty clear. In fact, he's updated the OP with even more details, including a key to what files are what based on the number the file starts with. I'd suggest that you re-read that OP. If it still confuses you, I would suggest sticking to a JB rom, or getting help from someone that has your phone in their hands, and knows what they are doing.

Lastly, the reality is that unless there is a way to root KK on this locked bootloader (which currently isn't availible), this is *NOT* going to get any easier. So my suggestions are:

1. Get familiar with Odin, SafeStrap, and set aside a few hours just in case something goes wrong (and have all files downloaded, including the downgrade files, in case **** hits the fan)

2. Stick to JB

3. Go the stock unrooted KK route.

Again, not trying to be an ass, but this isn't for people that aren't used to flashing things. Samsung is pretty hard to brick because of Odin, but there's still risk.....

Edit: Regarding my lack of something to say, believe it or not, I'm not a guru. I have spent the last 3 hours downgrading, re-routing, and getting ready to upgrade back to KK. I kind of miss having my phone. Not only that, but I'm doing all of this from my job. Not to mention the 3-4 hours I put in earlier trying various roms (which later put my phone into a bootloop) for the sake of the community so other's wouldn't have to upgrade to find out their rom of choice didn't work. I'm not asking for donations (not that I couldn't use them) or anything. I did this in my own time. Please keep that in mind when asking repeatedly for help. People have lives outside of XDA.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shindiggity:
Take a look at ur posts and thanks compared to mine, I'm not a noob. The OP doesn't state what zip is used to extract to get tar, so when I ask is because there are over 15 different files to try and choose from so I figured I'll ask someone who has done with a quick reply, " hey no problem it's xxx file good luck". But no I get two smart ass trolls who feel they would rather spend the time making someone feel dumb instead of just answering the question. I guess we look at things differently.

you know if you read your first post you say that thi op wasn't realy helpful but someone posted a link with helpful info that helped you out, don't you thin k thi sia the same type of situation, does thi mean any sense to you? I don't get it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] todd3835:
No, what I said was the DOWNGRADE files didn't work, which others have stated also. In regards to what to use, it's not like rar has only been around for a week. Every phone I've owned, I've come across RAR files compressing packages for flashing and such. Further, searching would have gotten you help.

Further, there's another thread that will get you a stock rooted upgrade. That thread can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2726868

Those I feel are a little less detailed, but includes upgrade/downgrade files. I haven't personally tried his upgrade files, but I can attest that the downgrade files work. He also has a rooted stock rom you can flash if you'd like to take the guesswork out of flashing roms that may or may not work. I haven't flashed it, but he does mention there's some FC issues as well as other problems. His directions may help you, I don't know, but they will both get you to where you need to go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shindiggity:
Instead of all of your bull**** answers you could have said, "Hey just down download file XYZ and extract it to blah blah blah. But iinstaed you spend all this time giving jack ass answers, hope you go to bed feeling great Mr no help!!

If you flash an incompatible rom and find that you are stuck in a boot loop and flashing another 4.4.2 ROM still causes a boot loop go back into download mode and Odin the broke down upgrade files you will be good to go again I have tested this multiple times was all 100 percent success.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
stock root test v1

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407588722

is the root file test for stock 4.42

directions:

unrar file.

go into odin

restart phone into download mode

in ap slot choose step 1 and press start in odin.

restart phone and just after samsung screen flashes and bootanimation starts pull the battery, yes have the back off the phone so this is easier.

put battery back in phone while holding power and volume down... this should bring you into download mode again, if not pull battery try again.

in download mode on your phone and odin on pc flash step 2. restart. fingers crossed this will work, you may have to install supersu from playstore and update the binaries if not im sorry and if anything goes wrong you'll have to odin back to stock 4.4.2 or follow a downgrade method root get safestrap back then upgrade all again. gl stockers

ps this is just for testing the tar file needs to be redone in ustar with an embedded hash so filename ends in .md5 to be proper odin, i know just no time busy with AOSP stuff on safestrap sorry
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:

test2 need md5 n ustar later maybe if they work been busy follow op as directed

I'm no longer having success with any rom's except Pheonix, which seems to work every time. Even the one listed in the OP is not working for me. Do you by chance have nandroid's of any gigilie? Or working on any 4.4 SS ports for VZW?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] todd3835:
1st file fails to flash on the cache part. Tried flashing the 2nd anyway and no luck. No idea what you mean about ustar. Also, what's the root.mk3.nc2.tar file?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] john122675:
Ok not sure what's going on I did all steps exactly like the op said to even used the blue chrome Kk ss rom everything works fine booted fine but I don't seem to have root I flashed the superuser file in op at the time it said to but still no root everything else seems to be in good shape but I need root and by the way good job guys and I like the blue chrome rom looks great
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
so you have safestra with blue chrome on but no root? try flashing that supersu over the right slot again and download supersu from the play store open it and update the binaries. what ss are you using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
k but todd that files meant for stock leak only users ones that dont even have safestrap on their phones... or did you revert back to that?:D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] john122675:
I'm using safe strap 3.72 the att one and I've tried re flashing the super user you have in op I flashed it in the order the op said to when I first done it it didn't work so I tried flashing again and I've already downloaded su from the market From chain and when I update the binary it says failed on the gaining root access I've tried flashing super user a 3rd time still the same results
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] michaelnhf:
I am on stock 4.4.2 and tried the stock root test v1, 1st file failed on cache, phone wouldn't boot, took battery out. Went to download mode and flashed part 2. Phone now boots, but no root.

I like the camera and all, but what's up with the huge black bar on the side with the little camera icon smack in the center. With that and the lower portion of the phone's hardware, it takes up nearly 1/4 of the face of the phone. How to get that transparent or blurred?

Btw, this will be the new Camera app thread while it is still hot. If you see others crop up, hit the report button and link this thread in there. :highfive:;)

Is there any way to swap motion gestures to do other things? In my specific case, I want to swap the motion gesture for voice calling to trigger google now instead. I am currently running vzw m8 stock rooted (weaksauce, heard bad things about firewater s-off). Any suggestions, or is this not possible?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfreemanoh:
I have no idea what bad things you heard about S-Off...the only people that have had issues with it (that I've heard of) did something wrong during the process.

As far as changing the motion gestures, no, not that I've heard of. Which sucks, because I would love to just disable most of them. The only one I really want is double-tap to wake.

Qs rom
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] azharkhalid:
If u need a ROM that has UPSM, then go and flash Hypermax v6 or v8. It has that feature or u can try Sensation S5. They are both custom ROMs. I tried'em both. I found those Samsung based ported ROMs are slowing down my phone after a few days. So, now i'm on ArchiDroid 2.x AOSP ROM and my device runs smoother than ever.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MySeLfPT:
The problem with this custom roms with UPMS ported into them is that they normally have TONS of other S5 features consuming precious resources on already resource consuming sammy ROM's so you end up with a feature rich.... turtle phone! :S

UMPS is indeed one of the most usefull features of the S5 and I think everyone would benefit for a UMPS flashable MOD for the main ROMS [4.3, 4.4.2 ports, 4.4.4 ports].

In my humble opinion, the best / fastest port done to date is back-to-n00t from [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] [4.4.4 ported from korean S3] and that being said I'm biased into asking for some kind soul to port it into it. arter97 himself will probably not do it thought as he reasonably wants his ROM to be as close to stock as possible.

Any brave soul who is up to the task? :)

I am using ArchiDroid V1.7.18 which is the most stable and fastest ROM for S3 from my experience of trying a lot of custom ROMs. With UPSM mode in this, it could be a ultimate.

Custom Roms based on 4.4.4 does have UPSM mode. But by far most stable, battery friendly, lag free ROM I used for I9300 is Archidroid based on stock 4.3 jellybean. But no one has ported it for 4.3.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Minto107:
First 4.3 sucks, as Samsung didn't gave a **** about it and 4.4 is blazing fast plus you can't have UPSM on 4.3 as it was featured in Galaxy S5 which has android 4.4 from the box
