Yes, safestrap. You can not install cwm on your device. You can only use ss and touch wiz based roms. You might have to Odin back to mk2 and start over

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] wangweixun:
Thanks. That is sad :(.

My device won't boot now so Odin is not possible I assume? I'm trying to use ss to install the "I337UCUFNB1 100% Stock Rooted ROM" and start from there. Am I on the right track?

Sorry I'm a newbie but...

1. what is that all in one tar for? Is it a ROM?

2. my device won't boot so I could not use Odin. The only thing I can use is SS. Is there a workaround?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Your device only boots into ss? Can you boot into download mode? Power, home, vol down

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] wangweixun:
Actually, I am able to get into download mode.

I'm downloading the full odin tar files file however... I still could not understand what it is. Is it the MK2 ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] wangweixun:
nvm. Got it. It'll turn my device back to stock image.

If that works, there is a way I can flash a pure 4.4.2 KitKat on my phone? Or "I337UCUFNB1 100% Stock Rooted ROM" is my best bet?

Thanks!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] John The Rhino:
There is a guide below with all the answers you seek young Android flashing apprentice. Please slow down & read it thoroughly before flashing anything. Reading saves phones! If the method or rom you want isn't posted in the guide, it can't be done on your MK2 S4. All the roms that will work on MK2 firmware are listed as well as the way to flash the listed Kit Kat roms too. I recommend you try the At&t roms 1st instead of the international versions. Please thank the op in the threads that help you. Good luck. :fingers-crossed:

You can't flash any AOSP roms with safestrap, only Touchwiz based ones. Your bootloader is locked so it's impossible for you to flash any vanilla android or google edition roms.

The "I337UCUFNB1 100% Stock Rooted ROM" is basically stock GS4 Touchwiz firmware that is rooted.
[Sprint LG G2] os2baba:
I didn't think I'd like KitKat's transparent navigation bar and front touch button. But I just got a T-Mobile G2 and installed KitKat on it and I really like the effect. I can't seem to be able to get that effect on my Sprint G2. I do have Settings-Display->Front Touch Buttons->Transparent background checked. But it doesn't work. I have of course rebooted the phone after doing that. AFAIK, there is no option that I set on the T-Mobile phone to set the navigation bar transparent.

Does anyone have their phones looking like the T-Mobile one. And if so, how did you go about doing that? BTW, I even tried it with G2 Xposed and that didn't work either. So I disabled G2 Xposed completely, but with no luck.
[Sprint LG G2] os2baba:
It was Nova Launcher!

It was Nova Launcher. I had disabled it on mine. And it's on by default I think. Anyway, it works - but only in the launcher.

B14CKB1RD​

Kernel for the Samsung Relay 4G​

B14CKB1RD is a custom kernel meant for 4.4 KitKat based Roms that comes with the freedom of user voltage control as well as Under Voltage Control. There is 8 governors and 8 i/o schedulers. It's built with the 4.10 sabermod toolchain and -o3 compiled for best optimizations and performance. It comes fully stable and suitable for what uses you want from your phone. From best battery life to best performance you can find for your phone on any 4.4 KitKat rom available. As usual happy flashing. Just note i am not responsible if you the user messes up your phone. I will always be around to help in any way i can so if any issues arise please feel free to send me a pm before trolling.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
Changlog 9/27/14

1.)Kernel updated to linux upstream version 3.4.104 straight from kernel.org and to B14CKB1RD v2.3

2.) Added Fast Charge support

3.) Added Optimax Governor and removed unneccesary ones

4.) Did various other fixes in source
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
As usual my personal preference is Wheatley Governor and SIO I/O scheduler as i get great performance and battery life with it
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] falle21:
Awesome!! Thanks for your work. Great battery and performance with this kernel in liquid, carbon and omni! Thanks for do it
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] robuser007:
Which one do I need for cm11, is it TeamApexQ Roms ?

Can you rename the files to see a difference ?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
I can't vouch for which one cm11 will use as its kernel varies between both...what happens is between my ROMs and omni/fat toad is graphical tearing...if one of these 2 causes this said tearing then try the other...I'd say try using TeamApexQ version first...
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
Thanks [MENTION=5510960]smartt699[/MENTION] for your generous donation. Its greatly appreciated and will help the family
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] reaper000:
Thanks for your efforts! Here's the last_kmsg from a reboot today of this kernel flashed atop your latest Carbon ROM. Hope it helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
Is there an app you use that accesses system files...such as WiFi related...especially one with a lot of ads...or anything...certain themes may also cause reboots as well as using certain kernel tweaking tools
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] reaper000:
Notice reboots typically occur when accessing data (Internet) but not only Wi-Fi. No games, just Googling something. Also, using no themes. Did use trickster mod to set up your recommendation of sio/Wheatley, but that's it.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
That's most likely the reason you get reboots...trickstermod is a known issue on a few devices....you can actually set governer and i/o scheduler under performance settings itself....unfortunately there no known fix even if you uninstalled the app except for clean wiping....I do not use any tweaking apps and have yet to get any reboots
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] chuckiev79:
I also have trickster mod along with pimp my rom, and a few others. I have also experienced some reboots until I put min at 1350 and max at 1512 and performance gov and io scheduler row. To do a "clean wipe" does this mean a full factory reset. I hope not. That is just something I am not going to do. That's why I'm still on carbon and not on the liquid rom.

---------- Post added at 03:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 AM ----------

If I uninstalled these apps and reinstalled the rom and kernel after would that be enough to get the kernel to work as it should?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
i suppose a uninstall of trickster mod AND pimp my rom and a dalvik wipe and cache wipe then do a dirty flash of rom and then do the kernel same method will work...but curious as to why use outdated and unsupported apps like this when it has it built into the rom itself....im not intending to come off negative but this app and kernel tuner has been widely known since jellybean to cause reboots and even bricks of some devices. the min cpu should also NEVER be set higher than 480....thats one way to really overheat and kill battery hence why i removed the mpdec touchboost that teamapexq uses
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] alongenemylines:
I'd love to add some (or all) of the governors and schedulers to the stock kernel (4.1.2). Do you have a github for the source? It would be super appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] reaper000:
Interesting perspective. I've rooted and run many custom ROMs and kernels on a Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, HTC One m7, and Nexus 5 with Trickster Mod and have never seen that app cause random reboots if the kernel parameters are set within reason (no UV or OC). Maybe I've just been lucky, but that would be very, very lucky as that lack of reboots applies to every ROM and every kernel combination with every single device I've tried over a few years. Even though I'm selective as to what I flash, that's in the hundreds as I can flash several times a day. And all with Trickster Mod on board.

The Relay 4G just seems unduly fragile to me. I've seen it reboot more times in a week than the other devices I mentioned randomly reboot in a year. I'm certainly not blaming any dev for this (and am thankful for all the efforts put here) and want to acknowledge just how difficult it must be to squeeze these great ROMs into a device that probably wasn't designed to handle them. Again, no disrespect to the OP.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
Well nexus devices are built pretty vanilla when it comes to android so its compatibility outreaches more....I've had reboots on every Motorola and HTC devices I've owned....I know for me I haven't had a reboot but I guess I'm lucky....but it could just be small incompatibilities in our code that may cause this and we just haven't found them or figured it out yet
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] reaper000:
Which is probably why, as a flashaholic, I stick to Nexi(?). My girlfriend, however, insists on a physical keyboard *sigh*.

Thanks for the ROMs and kernel; you're singlehandedly keeping this device relevant. Well, you and TeamApex.

Stop it so I can get her a new phone already...! (kidding)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] chuckiev79:
I would just like to add, if I may, that after uninstalling those apps I have not had any random reboots. Also on a topic unrelated, that viper4android fx app does not play well with poweramp, got rid of poweramp.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
uhhhh im using poweramp just fine....of course i had to set up sound settings within it....which i can guide you through that as well
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
Also...just to let people know...will be spending the rest of the week updating and further developing the kernel and various other fixes
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] dillalade:
Really enjoying this for omni. Only issue this far is office reboots when I'm typing with the physical keyboard. Really would like to switch to this kernel fully. It seems to be easier on battery and heat.

Edit

It seems to reboot generally not only when using physical keyboard.

Anyone else on omni seeing this.

Hoping for a fix.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] cucumbers:
I'm using the latest CM11 snapshot on my Relay & I can tell you the one to use is the REV3NT3CH one, as the TeamApexQ one causes the tearing.

BTW, where are the GPU settings? I can see all the extra CPU governor & I/O settings in the CM Performance menu, but nothing on GPU settings. Do I need a diiferent ROM or a specific app to access those?

Thanks for all the hard work!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] :
There are certain video differences with omni. No kernel made for it is going to work with other roms
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
[MENTION=5601853]cucumbers[/MENTION] thanks for confirming.... as for gpu tuning only certain roms have the functionality of modding this in its internal performance settings and apps will cause reboots as there is incompatibilities in code yet to be found.. [MENTION=2044079]Nardholio[/MENTION] just for ensurity is omni the only one with the graphical tearing so i know what to rename in the kernel names...

Edit: New build released....read changelog in second post to see whats changed...for further details on the update ill be glad to explain further....already working on another update to it and attempting a few new roms as well
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] cucumbers:
More data points on the kernel & CM11 - something about the latest update broke something, and there is video tearing now in CM11. I've tried both versions of the latest update, no dice, same thing.

I was wanting to try out another ROM on my Relay anyway, OmniToad specifically, so this is a good excuse! OmniToad up & running with the latest kernel, no problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] hbk.vix:
Hey, the new kernel has been great.. Really smooth and chill.. But i've noticed when on 3g and my phone is deep sleeping, I'm losing a little more battery than before.. Anybody else facing the same problem??
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
will be posting a liquid and B14CKB1RD update tonight...the new liquid will feature this updated B14CKB1RD kernel built in so no need to flash it unless i update B14CKB1RD in the future and not liquid at the same time
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
Kernel Updated....theres alot of new kool things about it like new governors as well as UnderVoltage control....if on latest liquid flash this kernel to get the UnderVoltage control as last nights build did not have this integrated in its version of B14CKB1RD

EDIT: found a bug...wifi doesnt work...think i may know why...will fix and post new update....will let you all know
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] chuckiev79:
On carbon, can't enable wifi after kernel update.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:

And thank you R3V3NT3CH.. Relay God!! :D
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] cucumbers:
FWIW I've tried the latest kernel (5-11) with both OmniToad & CM11 (using the appropriate kernel build in each case, of course) & it works great in both cases. The BFQ scheduler in particular seems to produce flawless playback of audio over BT (even when watching a video). Thanks so much!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
Kernel updated to 5/19...did alot of work on this one...enjoy and let me know if any issues arise as usual and ill get right on it
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] HippoMan:
Works well, so far. Good job! :)

This new kernel doesn't change the problem about performance settings not persisting across boots ... at least not within your Carbon ROM. Even though these settings are implemented within the kernel, I'm guessing that changing them and persisting them might be managed from within the ROM. Is that correct?

In any case, I'm happy with this kernel, and I'm optimistic that the performance setting persistence issues will eventually be fixed, either in the ROMs or in the kernel, itself.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] robuser007:
Added Fast Charge support: what does this mean? Now the phone is slow charging?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] reaper000:
Ever notice how fast the phone recharges when plugged into an AC adapter vs. plugging it into a USB port? What Fast Charge is supposed to do is simulate an AC recharge when the phone is plugged into USB. Incidentally, it negates most USB functions on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
what the reaper said lol....say when plugged into a usb port of a pc it will charge slower or less then when plugged in via a wall.... fast charge when enabled and plugged into pc will charge faster than it did before while plugged into pc
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Player-J:
I plugged the new kernel into the Liquid ROM. After I mounted the system as r/w using Script Manager (I suppose you could do it manually in Terminal), I went into Kernel Tweaker and set all of the performance settings the way I like them. With the exception of the 3G Speed Hack, all of my settings have stuck, even after a couple of reboots. I don't know if it matters but I'm using the Official CWM Touch Recovery.

It's running smooth, so I'm happy. Again, thanks for all your hard work REV3NT3CH!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] HippoMan:
Thank you very much.

Tried the same thing under the Carbon ROM, but it didn't work for me: I mounted /system as r/w and then changed the performance settings via Settings->Performance. I then rebooted, but these performance settings didn't stick for me.

I'm using the TWRP recovery, if that might make a difference ... but I don't want to play with recoveries in order to test this.

PS: Is there an app called "Kernel Tweaker", or is that just one of the settings sections for the Liquid ROM?

.​
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
the "kernel tweaker" is the built in performance settings of Liquid....im starting to believe this is fully a rom issue and not kernel....especially after latest update....also to rule out,..anyone since updating to newest kernel been getting any reboots...as i believe i think i fixed that in latest build of it as well...and last...gps wanna hammer that down as well
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] HippoMan:
Thank you for explaining "kernel tweaker".

Well, once there's a new Liquid ROM (newer than the 5/13 release), I'll try it again and see how it performs regarding the persistence of kernel preferences (as well as with the other settings-related issue that I have encountered).

I'm glad to know that that kernel preference persistence worked under Liquid for jadrt09, and I'm hoping that this eventually will get fixed so that we don't have to give r/w permissions to /system.

Anyway, thank you again for all your great work!

After installing the 19 MAY 2014, I seem to at least be getting GPS lock a little more often, but I only have my drive into work today and my drive home for testing so far, so I don't know if it's an improvement. (I'd occasionally have short periods before when it'd start locking again, so I don't know if I was just due for another one, or this actually fixed it.)

I am noticing that when I do get a lock, It's actually about a city block off from my true position though.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Snuzzo:
This is false. Fast charge is for those ac chargers which get detected as USB and can supply more than 500ma

Should SHOULD also work fine on a usb3 port.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
hmm okies... i coulda swore back on the rez thats what the fast charge did lol....thanks for clarifying that
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Player-J:
I tried but I couldn't get it to work in Carbon either.

I don't really know how much a recovery affects the function a ROM - I just happened to be on CWM recovery at the time. I have Liquid running with no real issues, although TWRP recovery is recommended for that ROM. I've also tried PHILZ recovery without issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] reaper000:
I agree, clarifying that force fast charge can apply to not only ac chargers, but any source (usb3 and 2, potentially) that can supply more than 500ma. The phone should charge faster with the kernel-allowed bigger feed than if limited to 500. If I read it right!

Latest kernel + latest CM11 nightlies

After a week or two of using the latest CarbonROM + the latest Bl4CKB1RD kernel (quite happily I may add), I decided just for fun to give the latest official CM11 nightlies a whirl. Everything was fine until I tried loading up the latest B14CKB1RD. Then - after a super-long boot sequence, I was greeted by a black screen, no mattter what I did (the capacitive keys would light up when I pressed the Home button, though). I also tried some of the older versions of the kernel, same deal. So clearly they did something in the latest nightlies that gets broken when you use this kernel, which is a shame. FWIW it worked just fine with the nightly from 05/26.

Anyway, back to CarbonROM + the B14KB1RD -- I like the active notifications & the Dark theme a la DarkSlim in that ROM better anyway...
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
I'll see what they may have done ROM wise that changed
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] cucumbers:
Thanks. Just so you know, the exact same thing is happening with the latest OmniToad release, where they moved to 4.4.3. So looks like maybe something gone awry in the latest AOSP code? (Just guessing, I have no idea...) I used the TeamApexQ version of the kernel, of course, but I get the exact same black-screen-after-a-long-boot as with the latest CM11 nightlies.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
Well I do need to update it....teamapexq uses a new kernel I believe...well from what I'm seeing in source anyway
