Don't think it is the place to ask how to install HyperDrive... It is not right that everyone expects support for other roms here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zmedhaug:
surge i had to wipe my phone man. i was on the stock rooted v2 zip that had all the bloatware removed and the topic also had a zip for the removed apps. I cannot find it again for the life of me surge. can you please point me in the right direction?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
so what exactly what have you done? What is your current basebuild? If you were going to NC2/NC5 you have to have SS3.72....3.71 will not work. With 3.,72, there is no rom slot support on verizon phones and you can only install on stock slot.

---------- Post added at 06:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 AM ----------

you need to be in hyperdrive threads where instructions and help can be found
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PetrichorXFi:
Some ROMs require you to turn off WiFi PRIOR to installing the ROM. An example was the DroidX2, i think it affected both the Eclipse ROM and CM7.2.

Surge, please verify/correct.

FYI my upgrade from ME7 to MK2 then to NC5 went well, I did have to flash the update1 to get my lockscreen to work. also FYI I did have my WiFi off prior to imstalling no-wipe MK2, but not sure my WiFi state from MK2 to NC5.... whatever it was my WiFi works.

Try the simple... turn off wifi, reboot. tesy wifi.

If still broken, set airplane mode on, reboot, turn airplane mode off... try again

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] a22shady:
Well after I got stuck I realized if I unplugged the phone and removed the Battery I was able to get it back into Download mode which there I jumped back into odin and was able to reflash the AP/CP files and phone booted back into SS menu. So once there I just gathered some info read through the 1st page very carefully on what to do if you ran into this issue. So what I did than was reflash the 1st 2 files 1 at a time as described and it went through no problem and basically re installed OS on phone. So I was back at square one and I repeated all the steps slowly and carefully and at the end of a very, very long night I finally got the phone to upgrade to Kitkat and rooted. Now that its all done eventually I will still try hyperdrive rom

Someone should put in where to flash those .TAR files in Odin that took me forever as there was no box/location in odin for .TAR only BL/AP/CP/CSC but I got after trial and error and I believe I selected the AP one for anyone else that might encounter this error.

Do I need to flash this before attempting to flash the gdux rom? I'm currently on mk2 4.3 stock rooted but want to flash a rom for obvious reasons

Would I flash the odex or deodexed version?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
yes, you pretty much have to get NC5 on your phone before flashing a kitkat rom I believe. But you don't need to do the OTA
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] inkdaddy66:
Ok. Thanks. I tried earlier but didn't delete all of the rom slots. Then got hung up on a bootloop. I'll try again later. Not deleting the other slots... Would that create a bootloop?

I have successfully downgraded to MK2 and upgraded to NC5 preroot. The question I have been unable to find an answer to is if i need to return my phone to Verizon for any reason can I just ODIN back to stock NC5?

I don't know but its part of the steps is to delete rom slots

Power Off

For some reason my phone won't stay off when i plug it in. It shows the battery with the spinner but then goes straight to the samsung boot loader and boots. I cannot get it to stay off but charging like i used to do every night. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scootier:
I am getting the same thing; not certain if it's a 4.4.2 issue, or what.

Same issue using surge's zip and on hyperdrive 16/16.1 roms.

I did find this message on another site/thread:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tech_head:
Funny, I usually don't turn my phone off, but decided to try.

My phone running the stock ODEX NC5, rooted will not stay off if plugged in to charge.

We know it's not related to the BL, because I'm still on MK2.

It must be new power management and the kernel.

Interesting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshberg24:
I am also on MK2 running DEODEXd and rooted. odd...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scootier:
I think it a due to a mismatch in BL.

I would guess people running the OTA would not have this issue.

System won't Mount

So I installed a custom rom over the 4.4 upgrade that didn't work (booted then rebooted) but i can't get system to mount in safestrap. This is a problem because that means i can't flash any other rome over the old one as system won't mount for them either. I factory reset and did everything i could think of. Any Suggestions??

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AustinS:
Hey everyone, I'm in bad shape. I made a mistake during the process, well a couple. That's what I get for trying to do it in the car while my wife is driving. I was on MK2.

The very first step I did was boot into safestrap and wipe dalvik, cache, data, system. Well, that apparently was the wrong first step because I then gave it a good ole reboot, hoping to go back into SafeStrap and install the deodex. Safestrap seems to have been wiped. It only boots into Stock recovery.

So, I tried just using ADB sideload to the deodexed version and I get E:signature verification failed, install aborted. What is the proper way to get back in line? I'm not sure where to start.

---------- Post added at 12:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 PM ----------

Where is says "1. Flash I545VRUEMK2_Downgrade.tar.md5 --> " does this mean flash with Odin, ADB sideload, or Safestrap? I don't have access to safe, so would it be okay to flash the md5 files with Odin?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
Yes, these are meant to be flashed with ODIN.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PetrichorXFi:
yeah, Xposed Framework has a Module.

I prefer GravityBox as it seems to work the best with fewest, if any, issues... not sure if it has NFC settings though.

Wanam Xposed does have NFC settings alomg with hiding eye tracking icon, etc. I do also use Wanam, in addition to GravityBox, but either Wanam is a little buggy or just doesnt play nice with others as inatalling it alone seems to change a few things like this odd screen brightness (+5 or -5) thing when at auto broghtness..... doesnt make any sense as this appears to do nothing.

well hope that helps

I know it's in here somewhere, but I don't really have time to read through 137 pages. Is there a fix so you can change the lockscreen style? (pattern, pin, swype,etc.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
And more specifically, is it designed to work with NC5's kernel, etc.?

It's very likely that you'll need to start over (re-flash back to MK2, the follow the upgrade path back to NC5).

Top right of your screen is a box that says "search this thread".

System won't mount in SS 3.72

Ran this upgrade and it went fine, then installed Hyperdrive16.1 which was fine as well. However, I had some issues with Avast Backup and had also decided to change some of the HD install options. Went back into SS to wipe and reflash, but now it's not behaving. No matter if I try to wipe or install they fail and I get one or both of the following errors depending:

SS also warns when rebooting that there is no system installed, but the phone will boot into HD16.1 as it was the last thing installed. Things I've already tried:

1) Uninstall/reinstall SS3.72 - all combos of both the app and recovery mixed with reboots

2) Tried flashing both HD16.1 and the NC5 Deodex file

3) Tried all combinations of fixing permissions within HD16.1 and SS3.72

4) Tried this entire process over again - all it does is set HD16.1 back to "factory" state

What I haven't tried:

1) Factory reset/wipe via Samsung recovery

2) Downgrading back to MK2 and starting over with a full wipe - directions say to flash in recovery, but my recovery obviously isn't working :(

Am I screwed, or is there a way to fix this with commands or via ODIN somehow?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sinner822:
Odin Full wipe mk2 will include recovery and all partitions.

Sent from my SCH-I545
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] camparks:
Thanks, I hope it will be that easy, but will wait for Surge or someone to pipe in to let me know if it's safe or there needs to still be steps in between.

Two other things:

1) Forgot to specifically say, that SS3.72 would not uninstall after these errors arrived. It runs it script and says 'Uninstall Complete', but the app still flags it as installed & it actually is still installed. SS3.71 was successfully uninstalled before 3.72 was installed.

2) I looked back at the downgrade instructions. Step 1 says flash, but it uses a TAR file - which I believe would actually be only for ODIN? However, the directions seem to imply flashing it in some recovery, as step 2 says to boot the phone into Download mode immediately following step 1.

Update:

Was able to get her back down to 4.3 MK2. I followed the downgrade instructions here, with the addition of repartitioning using the MK2 PIT file at step 1, putting each downgrade file into AP in ODIN 3.09. I had to go all the way through the first part of step 3, as my phone got stuck at the Verizon boot screen after step 2. I did not have to do the second half of step 3(repeating flashes from steps 1 & 3).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sinner822:
I prefer easy and clean. Unless of course you are coming from an NC2 bootloader. Then you have no choice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aldroid:
will this work going from ME7 to 4.4.2 VRUFNC5 and keep root? Thanks in advance :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
I came from MJ7. I odin the full wipe Mk2 image first so my bootloader is MK2 and then proceeded with surges method where your flash the deox rooted NC5 rom and then do the odin files for NC5 firmware.

keysteps to remember really need to be a checklist so you have proper files loaded on the extsd card and proper files on the computer....and you don't miss loading up safestrap 3.72 at the right time....and SU if needed at the right time otherwise you have to start over.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
No. You must update to MK2 first. Then, if it's a clean MK2 install, it's a lot easier to use this method to get to rooted NC5.

So I did the install and every thing went ok with the install but I'm having some issues. First is my air gestures are not working. I can't do any of the hand waving stuff. second is my phone gets really hot not. So hit that it even told me it's too hot. Third is everything is opening and closing slow. Is anyone else having any of these problems? Any idea on how to fix it? Forth thing which is just my being picky but not a big deal, when I restart it, it opens to the install custom page first.

Unable to enable wifi on NC5

First off, I just want to thank everyone in this thread, especially Surge! Without people like you, Android wouldn't be what it is today. Unfortunately, I'm having some problems, and am hoping that this great community can help me out.

I started on MK2 and dedicated a few hours to get my i545 on NC5 while preserving root. I've completed the following steps, and am still not able to enable wifi on NC5:

Started on stock, rooted MK2. Never flashed anything, just saferooted and safestrapped (3.72)

1) Followed guide exactly as written and used the ODEXed version.

2) Got NC5 up and running using the guide. When I attempt to enable wifi, it simply does not turn on.

3) Used the guide to revert back to MK2. Everything works fine on MK2, including wifi!

4) Decided maybe it was the ODEXed package. Attempted the upgrade to NC5 again with the DeODEXed package.

5) SAME RESULT. Wifi no worky.

Any thought? I'm out of ideas. I hope it isn't something I missed. It wouldn't be such a big deal if 4G wasn't so bad at my house.

Edit: My potty mouth

Root & Safestrap

Have a couple of quick questions...

1. I am picking up another S4 today and I am guessing it will still come with 4.2. When I rooted my Galaxy S4 in December I used Vroot. Is that still the best way to root the S4 or is there a better way to do it?

2. Safestrap - I previously asked if I needed to keep it on my phone. Lazer9 (Thanks) told me not to uninstall the Recovery within safestrap and I should be fine. I haven't done anything with Safestrap yet, however I don't see the icon in my apps. I guess my question about Safestrap would be, is there any way to remove the Safestrap screen that pops up right after the Samsung Custom logo? The one that gives you two options, "recovery" or "continue". The phone I will be picking up is for my son and I don't want him to screw anything up by exploring the recovery section.

Thanks in advance... I have been running Deodexed for about a week with no problems. Thanks again Surge!!

Ok Smanager isn't wanting to run the script and I tried init.d scripts but I couldn't get it to run.

So this is the best I can do for you.

An app that you can put the shortcut on the homescreen and just select it after you boot up.

I am nowhere near as skilled as many others are here so maybe somebody can get it to run at startup.

Sorry that I could not accomplish that. That same method worked back on my Droid Incredible 2 with a permissions problem so I thought it should work with this.

Anyways here is the app. Make sure you push bypasslkm to /data/local/tmp before running the app.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
I "think" once you upgrade and do all the steps, then just install the SafeStrap 3.72 app if it's not in your drawer, you could then run it and "Uninstall" recovery. Then see if it boots straight to the ROM. I haven't tried this but in theory it should work. It will just prevent you from having a recovery and being able to flash mods, ect... modems, whatnot. As long as you are rooted, I see no reason why you couldn't later just re-install the safestrap apk and install a recovery if you wish.
