[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] caniswesley:
Sure. Let's see. I realized that one of the things that I saw on ODIN when I tried to flash was the whole thing about having no recognizable partitions (if yours is saying the same thing, then this is what you'll probably want to do).

1. I grabbed the PIT file from [MENTION=4939386]Surge1223[/MENTION]'s NO-WIPE and COMPLETE WIPE post, grabbed the MK2 downgrade zip file (also courtesy of [MENTION=4939386]Surge1223[/MENTION]), as well as the KitKatNC2 Leak and then went Flash-Crazy with ODIN in this sequence:

Boot your phone into Download Mode.

a. I545VRUEMK2_Downgrade.tar.md5 into the AP slot (or PDA if using Odin 3.07), and the PIT file taken from the NO-WIPE post in the PIT file slot. I can't remember if it failed, but I'm pretty sure it did. As Surge1223 said, though "the file should fail at Cache, thats ok".

Reboot your phone again into Download mode.

b. I545VRUEMK2_Downgrade_system.tar.md5 file with the same PIT file (this probably wasn't necessary, but at this point I was a bit paranoid and praying for it to work). This rebooted, but got stuck at the Verizon boot screen.

I then booted into Recovery and tried a Cache Wipe and Factory Reset. These didn't work, but I'm giving the complete sequence of events because I am also a bit superstitious at times about electronics :silly:

c. At this point I flashed the NC2 Leak in the AP slot. It flashed cleanly, and I was able to boot NC2. However, I decided I wanted to be able to root, so I repeated the steps a and b but without the PIT file <--- at this point just say NO to PIT.

I didn't need to do anything to recover sound. My sound was fine. However, the only downside is, my WIFI is now no longer accessible normally at boot. I have to run the little app I mentioned in another blog post... but the link is here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Aharmlesspear:
I appreciate the explanation! Thanks! It's going to take a while to download everything but I will try my best to get this current paperweight back up and running again. I'll post back here with the results - hopefully good! haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Aharmlesspear:
Everything happened just like what you said and my phone is officially working! The only problem is that I wanted to root as well and followed step a and b without the PIT file and it wouldn't get past the samsung screen - would constantly reboot. Any idea how to fix that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] caniswesley:
Have you tried booting into Recovery [If you've never booted into recovery --> (from Power Off, hold down Power + Home + Volume Up until you see the boot screen). Should see in the upper left hand corner blue text reading: "Booting into recovery". The little android dude will appear, and then fall on his side with an explanation pt. This is fine, don't panic. Just let it bring you to the menu. Use volume up and volume down to navigate and power button to select.]

In Recovery do a Factory Reset and Cache Wipe. This should fix the loop. Let me know if not....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Aharmlesspear:
telsecr must

Yeah I did factory reset and cache wipe when I first did it because it kept looping and I didn't know what else to do. It didn't do anything. I flashed the NC2 file without PIT and that got me back to it booting and loading up. What allows you to root when you did those two steps without the PIT file? Does it make it so it goes back to 4.3 or something?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] caniswesley:
The whole idea of flashing with A and B are to put you on 4.3 at the end. Downgrading you from NC2 to MK2. The order of things from this flash were going MK2 (which got stuck like yours did) --> NC2 (which for me, cleared up the loop) --> MK2 (which after a factory reset and wiping the cache, booted back up fine.)

I honestly I am not the expert on these things, I just used the PIT file because at the time my phone was registering as having no established Partitions. so I used the only PIT file I could easily find, crossed my fingers, and got lucky. I stopped using PIT as soon as I was able to boot even back into recovery with a stuck normal Verizon boot screen. I didn't saferoot until I had a functional MK2 (non-root) option. I honestly wanted root so that I could re-establish WIFI. Without root, I don't know of a method to easily re-obtain wifi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] caniswesley:
Does it literally go into a boot loop with the Verizon boot screen? Or is it sitting there for a while? I sat there patiently the first time it booted, and it took a while (setup stuff I think) but booted eventually.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Aharmlesspear:
It just kept going to the samsung boot logo and turning off and looping. I'll try again right now - just do the factory reset and cache wipe after both files have been flashed right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] caniswesley:
Yes. I'm assuming you're rebooting after the first flash fails, and then flashing the second file....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Aharmlesspear:
I reflashed and it got to the verizon boot logo. It's been there for 5-10 min and I think it might be stuck there even though the animation is still continuing (light shining over text). Is this where you format and wipe cache?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] caniswesley:
yes. That sounds precisely where I Format and Whiped the Cache.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Aharmlesspear:
Okay I am officially on 4.3. The wifi, like you said doesn't work. Which root did you end up using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] caniswesley:
The only rooting technique I found was saferoot. That worked quickly and easily for me. To fix wifi, I ended up downloading bypasslkm and having to install it to /data/local/tmp (meaning this is on your base directory). I don't know your background, so I'm just trying to be thorough. People have said you can "ADB push" the file, but that sounded too tedious to me. So since I had root, I snagged a File Manager with Root capabilities (I use ES File Explorer, but X-plore or Total Commander should do the trick as well). I copied the file "bypasslkm" from the zip file attached which I found among Surge1223's posts, and then I downloaded the Bypasslkm.apk from [MENTION=4168602]klabit87[/MENTION] 's post. Finally, I setup a script in Tasker triggered by Booting of the phone to load this app into memory every time, thus having Wifi functional on Boot.

For your ease of access I've attached the bypasslkm.zip and bypasslkm.apk if you wish to have them. I can also explain the Tasker script if so desired, if you've never worked with Tasker.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] caniswesley:
See the previous post for complete instructions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Aharmlesspear:
Thanks that's awesome! Do I have to be rooted in order to install bypasslkm onto \data\local\tmp? I have a file manager but I cannot locate that folder/location.

Yeah I don't have any experience with tasker.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] caniswesley:
I am not absolutely certain to copy you'd have to rooted, but in order to be able to execute the commands that the .apk executes, you have to be rooted (of that I'm fairly certain). Safe root is quite easy to do, and probably the easiest rooting I've ever performed.

If you're not using tasker, you can just execute bypass.lkm each time you boot (have a shortcut on your home screen or something) or we can set you up with Tasker. If you don't own the app, though, you will have to purchase it. There may be other ways of doing the scripting, but I find Tasker to be very useful (on thing I do that is completely gratuitous is have my phone switch randomly between 100 different ringtones each time it rings, so that I never get bored of the same ringtone).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Aharmlesspear:
EDIT:

My wifi works now! I figured it out, now i'd like to try tasker. That's pretty cool (100 different ringtones)! I've never heard of that before haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] caniswesley:
Awesome!! Really glad to hear it. Let me know if you'd like any help with Tasker.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Aharmlesspear:
I would appreciate some help with tasker since I really would be aiming in the dark haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] caniswesley:
Depending on how in depth you want to go with Tasker, there are layers of detail. I'll try to keep it simple for now.

First thing you need to do is hit the + sign in the lower right hand corner to create a new "Profile"

What pops up is a menu showing the different triggers for this profile.

For this situation, since we want wifi to be turned on at boot via bypasslkm.apk, we select "Event"

Now under the event category we select "system"

In system event category, select "Device Boot"

It will open a new window that says "Edit Event" at the upper left hand corner

Hit the "<" next to the gear to exit this window, or use the back button.

The next thing should be a menu that has three options.

Select "new task"

You have the option to name the task. I usually name my tasks. Let's name this one "WifiOnBoot"

Click the check mark.

New screen opens entitled "Task Edit".

At the bottom of this screen, hit the "+" sign

Select "Action Category" entitled "App"

Select "Launch App"

Find "Bypasslkm" and select it.

You don't need to edit the rest of the options, so you can hit the "<" at the top left corner, or use your back button.

Now, in the "Task Edit" window you should see:

1. Launch App

App: Bypasslkm

Hit back again, and you're done. Now, as long as you have Tasker set to start at boot -- it will execute this at device boot, which will turn on your ability to access wifi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Aharmlesspear:
Fantastic! Works like a charm, thanks a lot! I only have one more question... is it still possible to flash CM11 after all of this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] caniswesley:
Unfortunately based on everything I've seen, it's not possible to use anything other than Safestrap-useable ROMs, and no way to replace the Boot Loader. Anything beyond MDK (MK2 is certainly beyond that) cannot flash a new boot loader because the Loki Exploit has been patched by Samsung. I learned all that when I almost killed my S4 the first time attempting to load CM11 and or TWP. You can safestrap, though, and use that to get custom roms that are compatible. At least until/if ever they unlock the bootloader again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Aharmlesspear:
I see... that's unfortunate but now that I know I won't mess it up in the future. Thanks for the help you really saved me the wait I would have suffered through for Verizon/Samsung to release 4.4.2 odin recovery file onto the internet.

Wifi not working

I just finished the downgrade and installed the .apk to fix the wifi.I tried to click on it and it gives root access to it but im unable to turn the wifi on.Do i need to have it setup on tasker in order to use it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
You need to make sure you copy bypasslkm file from the zip file to /data/local/tmp with a root file browser.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cadogan341:
It was a little tough to get it moved over but wifi is finally working again with root.Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
I didn't think many people would need this but I will add in the ability for the app to automatically download the bypasslkm file into the proper location on first run if/when I get time this week.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cadogan341:
wifi

That would definitely make it a lot easier for most people.I couldn't find the /tmp folder with 'es file explorer, but 'root explorer' worked just fine.Maybe it was a issue on my part.I noticed tasker says 'no active profiles' after i reboot and use the tutorial to add the wifi on boot.( It loads the script and everything though) Once the phone boots i still have to click on the wifi button to turn it on.Is that normal or should it automatically turn it on? Airdroid doesnt work either but as long as i have root back, it doesnt matter to much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] caniswesley:
If you edit the Task you've created, and add by clicking "+", and select "Net", you can add a line for "Wifi" and choose "Set" to ON.

Now it should turn the Wifi on after running bypasslkm.apk after each boot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
It would appear that gigilie has beat me to it lol

here is his wifi enabler with the app included and his description.

gogolie's Bypasslkm WiFi Enabler V1

this eliminates the need to push the bypasslkm file manually.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cadogan341:
flashing

Probably a dumb question, but how do you flash through SS?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Boot phone into safestrap by selecting the menu key when the safestrap splashscreen shows.

Then select install.

Navigate to the .zip file and flash.

Then reboot

Sorry if I'm oversimplifying it but I'm not sure how much flashing you have done.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cadogan341:
ss

I have a some experience with flashing but just couldnt remember what the 'SS' meant.I don't think i have Safestrap installed as i just followed the instructions from this tutorial on this thread.So more than likely i will need to install SS then it should work fine?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
yes you will need to install safestrap in order to use the flashable .zip file by gigilie

First of all, I don't think I have ever seen a better way to ruin your xperia design, bravo.

Secondly, it is basically a sticker and therefor it should hold on the phone without any problems. (unless it's made out of paper (it is not, don't worry))

Thirdly seller lists item as durable and washable so there should be no problems connected to water contact..

That's about it, have a nice day :)

z1 s has plastic? its not aluminium like z1?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] LaosPerson:
Nope, but there is an advantage, we get better signal than iPhone and galaxies (probably) lol

NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP. Just extract it and use a custom launcher to change any icons on your homescreen/'desktop' .

Icon Pack 1

​

​

Icon Pack 2

I'm making an icon pack, and figured I'd show what I've made thus far to you guys. I would have an apk at the ready, but constantly having trouble getting the hang of making an apk :P . For now I have a zip with the current icon, if you guys like them, can change icons on your homescreen to them that way for now. I also haven't figured out a name lol.​

If anyone has any suggestions, just let me know and I'll add them.

I am kinda slow at updating, I do construction and am normally BEAT by the end of the day, so I'm a bit slow. Sorry :(

There are two icon packs I'm working on. Do leave feedback on which you prefer please, thanks :)

I also make wallpapers. You want any and/or wanna make a request, here over to it and check it out :)
