[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] HipHopIsLyfe37:
I have a Verizon S4, rooted with safe root, Safestrap installed, running MK2 Hyperdrive ROM. I was wondering if there is anyway to get back to complete stock MDK where I can root and install a custom recovery like I would on any other Android phone? I really want to install the GPE ROM and other AOSP/Vanilla android ROMS. I have a lot of rooting and customizing experience from previous Android phones, but this is the first one on Verizon, instead of Sprint, that I've had and its more locked down than anything I've had also.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks!

There is no way to downgrade to mdk at all.

If that were a possibility I'm pretty sure there wouldn't be so many people on safestrap recovery.

Having a Sprint and Verizon phone I know what your going through right now.... Total opposite on Verizon than what you've been used to. Here's a good place to start with info for our phones http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49334432

It'd be great if we could just use Chainfire to root these phones and then Odin a recovery on but no dice. Big red and ATT are bootloader Nazis

Installing apps on the 8125 takes forever when I use Cingular's ext rom.

But when I hard reset, then soft reset before customization to get rid of the ext rom, apps install really really quickly. is there anythign I can do to change this, I would prefer to use Cingular's ext rom. thanks...anyone else experiencing this too?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banjara:
Are you sure your network provider provides good coverage in area? If yes, you can try flashing a different modem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
That's normal for any phone/dependent on what spectrum (frequencies) & equipment the carrier uses. I'm in the same situation at home in particular.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nimerod:
Its normal when i enter a building to get no service?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Sometimes. Depends on the building, depends on the topography of the area, depends on the frequencies your carrier is using, depends on the equipment your carrier is using in nearby cells (this can vary widely from area to area even with the same carrier).

Have you modded the phone at all - flashed custom roms/kernels/etc, specifically have you flashed different modems or RIL's ? If you're running the modem that was on the phone when you bought it (or a modem that came bundled with a stock rom released by your carrier if you've done OTA updates), it's either:-

A) One of those carrier-side issues or

B) A hardware problem.

And as Banjara said, the only thing you can do about A (the solution to B is obvious, take it to a mobile repair shop or Samsung service centre) is to try flashing different modems to see if that improves things. If you're already running a modem bundled with a stock rom released by your carrier however, trying modems released with stock roms released by other carriers/in other countries is unlikely to improve things much (if at all) for a very simple reason.

Modems bundled with stock roms released by your carrier have been (one would assume this is the case with all carriers at any rate) tested so they work for most people on your carrier's network most of the time. If you're getting poor connectivity with one of those, switching to a modem meant for another carrier's network probably won't make any difference.

So...Where you go from here depends on your answer to the question I posed in para 2.

I have tried a catch/davlik wipe, about to try a full data wipe.

Any help on this one would be great, if the full wipe fails and I dont hear anything today I may just try and flash ViperOneM8 1.6.0 and see if it works or if my phone is just defective. I ordered it off amazon no contract for 650$ so no warrenty except for HTC's Advantage.

Fastboot your models firmware.... Same version you're on now. Or try rsdlite.

After a million tries, I managed to boot into recovery. Thakfully, I had TWRP, so all I had to do was restore a backup.

Why don't newer versions of Android like custom densities? (and is there any way to get a custom density working?) I almost bricked my Nexus 10 the same way, just by changing the density. On Gingerbread, I could change my density to just about anything and I could reboot and see the effects. It seems Jelly Bean/Kit Kat has no support for it at all.

I have my nexus 5 on Viareo wireless and the 3G/4G connection has been working fine, until today. I am currently a block from the tower and whenever i try using my data connection if i download more than a few mb it drops the signal and then reconnects. What i mean by that is when doing a speed test or downloading an app after a few seconds the signal bars go blank for about half a second then fills back up again and the download stops. I can send and receive texts and calls fine, but the data acts like i only get a few mb and then it resets the connection. Does anyone know how to fix this?

im assuming we may be getting more attention with the vk810 since Verizon is giving them away with a lg phone upgrade.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] N00b-un-2:
update 4/1/2015

I need to preface this by saying this is not an April Fool's day prank.

I've been thinking about the issues with this ROM, obviously the biggest one being the lack of 4G. The way the kernel is packed for this device, it exists in the boot.img as a self extracting gzipped file called zImage along with the RAM disk image.

So, I got to thinking. Drivers for any Linux kernel are typically stored in /lib/modules/`some-module-name`.ko. They can be manually loaded and unloaded using insmod /lib/modules/module.ko and rmmod /lib/module/module.ko respectively.

In order to get the kernel module (driver) for the 4G, we need to do one of two things. either

A) get ahold of the kernel source for the official LG firmware (not likely)

or

B) reverse engineer the boot.img of the official ROM (probably what needs to happen)

I have taken a stab at reverse engineering. I can unpack the boot.img, and I get the resulting zImage and ramdisk.cpio.gz. What I need to do now is unpack the zImage (this is the actual kernel). in order to unpack it, we need to determine what the offset it and then pipe that through dd in order to extract gzipped kernel image.

eg; dd if=zImage of=kernel.gz bs=1 skip=`echo "ibase=16; 1234 | bc`

This is assuming that LG has packaged their kernel in a normal manner. I've been trying to unpackage the zImage without any success. some of the blog/forum posts I've read indicate that the tools used to unpack zImages works on older versions of Linux (eg; Ubuntu 10.04) so I'm going to create a live ubuntu 10.04 disk and take a crack at it again. If I can get ahold of the .ko files, I can try force loading them on CM11. Assuming that the .ko files are present. I will post again with my results.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Wow, nice perseverance! Thanks for the update and good luck to you! Hopefully the older Linux will do the trick.

Will the source code for the 22B kernel help?

http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=VK810

http://opensource.lge.com/index and type VK810 (NOT VK810.4G) for model.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] N00b-un-2:
in the end it turned out that using an older linux distro both didn't work for what I was trying to do since LG has done something screwy with the way they pack their kernel image and the fact that I was able to poke around in a TWRP backup of the stock 4.4.2 firmware and discovered the the drivers are all stored (well, at least SOME of them) in /sys/lib/modules. Most of the modules are not named in a logical manner, ie; bluetooth.ko. But in the end, the kernels are sufficiently different between CM11 and LG stock firmware that trying to insmod a .ko from the stock firmware fails. I figured it would, but it was worth a shot.

On a positive note, I have located the source code for the ROM and Kernel for KitKat and JellyBean. I can start poking around at the kernel source and see what needs to be done to merge it into the cyanogenmod source tree. With any luck, it will be as simple as renaming a few things and compiling, with shiny new 4G drivers.

http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=NAME&search=vk810

Keeping my fingers crossed that it's that simple. Compiling a kernel is not hard. especially when you have the full source code and a working kernel to start from.

---------- Post added at 04:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 PM ----------

quick update, I merged the kernel source code into my CM11 source tree and it's chugging along right now. Should be done later today. No errors as yet

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] N00b-un-2:
nothing is ever easy... my first crack at building resulted in a system image that was too large and the build failed. I'm going to have to dig deeper into this.

Do not worry though. Now that I have the complete source code for the original ROM, it's only a matter of time before I get things working. We have all the Legos needed. it's just a matter of putting them together the right way. Before getting ahold of the official LGE source code, we were left with the task of reverse engineering and hacking things to work on top of what was essentiall the v500 ROM ported to the vk810. I have a feeling that I'm going to need to start over without using the current ROM as a base and make a new build from the ground up with the official source code, but even if that is the case it's only a matter of time before we get a working ROM.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] N00b-un-2:
so.... not to get everyones hopes up prematurely, but...

I finished rebuilding CM11 today starting from the official LG kernel source. I have run into some errors, but it did get as far as compiling the various partition images. In my haste to test it, I tried flashing the images manually using dd, but I forgot about loki patching. So as it stands, my tablet is soft bricked at the moment. I'll get around to unbricking it tomorrow sometime. But Im hoping that after loki patching the new boot.img it will boot, since really the only thing that changed was the kernel (the boot.img). Even if things aren't working, a booting kernel built from a full source tree is a MASSIVE step in the right direction. Anyway, it's really late and I need some sleep.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] N00b-un-2:
Where is the beat face against brick wall emoji?

Okay, so here's the score. I had a semi successful build last night. The build failed to create an update zip but it did generate all the partition images. I've tested the resulting CWM recovery build and it won't boot.

So, at this point I'm assuming that I've got the block size wrong among other things. du -H told me that blocksize is 4096 bytes. I though that was a little odd, so I'll try it again with 1024, and change the partition sizes in BoardConfig.mk...
