Since your rooted already, if you dont mind flashing a ROM you can flash the ROM from this thread, which is stock NC4 rooted with built in tethering.

EDIT: Removed lengthy description & Question...

thread removable...

gist of it all.. n7 is incredibly sensitive to grounding issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] @root@:
Galaxy Light SGH-T399 Stock ROM T399UVUANE4​

It is the official ROM T399UVUANE4 and has (Superuser v1.99r5 + SU) && (Busybox 1.22.1).

No changes has been made to this ROM. (I just injected SU,Superuser.apk & Busybox)

The easiest way to update your device without losing Superuser access.

NOTE

Backup all your data before installing this ROM.

Installation :

1- Download T399UVUANE4 Firmware from the link below.

2- Download Odin 3 (tested on v3.07 & v3.09 thanks to WetWilly)

3-Turn off your device and and boot into DOWNLOAD MODE by holding the Volume Down+Home+Power. Then Press Volume UP.

4-Run Odin and Make sure that only “Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time” options are selected.

5-Connect your device to your computer via a USB cable. (You should see “Added!” text at the message box of Odin GUI.)

6-Click the "PDA" OR "AP" (Odin v3.09) button and select the ROM's file (extension tar.md5) and wait until it verifies the ROM's file.

7-Press the "Start" Button to begin the installation process.

8-Wait to see the "PASS!" message.

Download Link:

T399UVUANE4 Firmware

MD5:B50E44B628ECFA46D72DB4C9808F5C5E

If you are having some troubles after installing this ROM then, backup your data and run factory reset or (wipe cache & data)
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] WetWilly:
Gave it a shot with Odin 3.09, flash went fine. Only change in instructions was to use the AP button in step 6 because Odin 3.09 doesn't have a PDA button. Root is there, biggest thing post-flash was reinstalling the Xposed framework; after that all the modules worked with their old settings. Didn't wipe data, had 3 apps stop but have reinstalled them and will see what happens. One definite fix from MJ4 is that the Name ID app, which never worked before, now works.

So far, so good. Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] tazmaniondvl:
I know better too lol, but who would think the dialer and contacts would do that, even if I had another dialer lol

---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------

I think I clicked something while scrolling and didn't notice it
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] WetWilly:
Not a surprise considering that the "Auto update of time and date" toast at startup is actually generated by the stock dialer. That would explain the "No SIM" message when the stock dialer is removed. Also, when I used exDialer and another one I don't recall, the stock dialer/contacts was still needed for certain things like dialing the "#*" system codes. Another lesson learned - the other dialers passed 911 calls to the stock dialer as well. That doesn't seem like an issue unless you get the infamous Samsung "Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped" problem - which I did - at which point the phone wouldn't dial 911 at all. NOT good.

On another note, after reinstalling the handful of apps that stopped after flashing this update, the phone has been working fine.

Anyone else tried to download this from the link T399UVUANE4 Firmware in the OP lately?

Running the sght399ne4prerooted.tar.md5.exe that downloads not only fails to extract any tar, it installs a utility called ezdownloader and numerous pieces of adware and/or potential malware. I would not even suggest attempting to test extract/install it without first imaging a clean backup of your OS drive.

Would the OP or anyone else please provide an actual clean copy of what is allegedly offered here?

[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] pennhaven:
I appreciate the reply and I appreciate your sharing the ROM. I finally got it installed, and all seems well so far.

I really wish you had posted it to another host, though, or at least included a warning. I spent quite a lot more time than would have been necessary if I had just installed the OE ROM and re-rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] @root@:
Unfortunately, I could not find a better free file hosting website that allows users to upload large files (Note: ROM's file size is 1.3GB).
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] WetWilly:
Sorry I didn't see notifications for this thread earlier or I would have pointed out the checkbox; in fact, on my screen the large arrow next to the "Download" button points directly right at the checkbox. To be fair to the OP many free download hosts have similar pre-checked boxes to download custom extensions/downloaders loaded with adware. As for the lack of a warning, it's a given these days that one has to read the download page carefully before clicking any "Download" button.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] pennhaven:
Here is a capture of the first screen presented by the download site on Firefox:

Note there is no warning and no arrow. Only by following the non-intuitive instructions from the video [MENTION=345440]root[/MENTION]@ linked to can you know to avoid clicking on Download Now, which loads this screen:

Once again there is nothing to make clear that clicking Download Now will do something you might not want. Which is in fact what happens.

There may be limited free hosts available to host files of this size, and [MENTION=345440]root[/MENTION]@ may not have intended any harm, but this download host is a bad actor, and should only be used with explicit warnings.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] WetWilly:
I am using Firefox 24.5.0 ESR and have NEVER gotten that giant "Download Now" button the multiple times I have visited that download site. I literally just visited [MENTION=345440]root[/MENTION]@'s link while typing this reply and I still didn't get it, so I'm assuming there's something with your browser, settings, add-ons, or cookies that's allowing that button to show up.

Regardless, you learned another rule of thumb - when you go to one of these download sites and there are two "Download" buttons, ignore the big one and select the less obvious one.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] pennhaven:
I'm on Firefox 30.0. Addons, cookies - certainly I have a few of former and plenty of the latter.

You could have stopped after the first paragraph, though.The rest is unnecessary condescension. Yes indeed I have learned something. I've been downloading shareware, utilities and firmware for decades, but it took first time experience with this download host to teach me the lesson.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] WetWilly:
1) It was not condescension - sorry if you took it that way, but other people read these threads and while you posted the helpful screenshots, you never mentioned that the "correct" Download button was the small, innocuous one in your screenshot and not the giant "Download Now" button.

2) Condescension or not, I have to admit I'm baffled as to how someone who's been downloading for decades has NEVER seen a filehoster like this. Almost all of the smaller ones and/or lesser known ones have been doing this for quite a while and, with that in mind, it's unfair to single out and label this host - one of the VERY few that will allow free downloads as large as this ROM - a "bad actor".
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] Planterz:
I'm using Firefox, and although I didn't download the file (it'd take 3 hours, and I don't need it), it seems like it'll download just fine. 2 clicks. No waiting 30 or 60 seconds either. I really don't know what some of you are *****ing about.

[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] tazmaniondvl:
Just root your phone or get lightwave
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] bassmannate:
Thanks. I rooted several months ago. Came back to see if anyone had modified the stock rom yet. I may be wrong but I thought I read that you need to install the T399UVUANE4 stock rom first or you could run into problems. Currently running T399UVUAMJ4
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] tazmaniondvl:
Its easy getting ane4 just go to sammobile click firmware, type t399 in search download flash via odin. And install lightwave. Ane4 is much better then mj4 and the newest is even better. [MENTION=345440]root[/MENTION]@ is currently updating lightwave to latest.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] bassmannate:
Ok. So just install the official from Samsung and then install lightwave? Basically all I'm trying to get updated is the baseband, right? I'm guessing that the reason I read that lightwave should be done AFTER the stock rom is because it doesn't include an updated baseband. Can I flash all this via TWRP? I got that on today and backed up everything. Would prefer to do that since I'm running Linux and had to use my wife's computer to flash TWRP via odin. Tried several tools on Linux and it just wouldn't go.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GameGuru41:
I won a mint Kindle Fire HD off eBay for cheap because it gives an error when trying to register it with an Amazon account. I knew I could root it and put a custom ROM on it so that is why I bought it. I have rooted and put custom ROMs on about nine original Kindle Fires but I am having problems with this.

I am following the guide [ROOT][HOW TO] Root the Kindle Fire HD and 2 with Windows - Noob (Simple) Version and I am stuck at the point of ROOT STEP 12 where I am to option 15 to root the Kindle. The actual line of Option 15 reads - Reboot The Kindle In To Fastmode <Preferred Mode> and I get this error:

I have tried 16 also to no effect. What am I missing here? The drivers installed properly and it sees the Kindle Fire HD when I plug it in. It said the ADB driver installed, is there a way to verify it?

Should I even be using this guide or is there a better one?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GameGuru41:
Ok I gave up on what they guide said and chose option 20 to Root the kindle fire. It does reboot my kindle twice when it says it is going to but everything on screen is showing it isn't doing what it is supposed to, can't find stuff. Here is a pic.

Thank you for the response. The System Version is 7.4.9. I have followed both the guides on this forum, using a Windows 7 laptop and a Windows 7 desktop. The kindle fire drivers and ADB drivers install fine, I can browse the SD card of the kindle fire HD from my pc but when I attempt to run the batch files on both computers it says it is unable to find, well, everything. Check out the screen shots. Would I have better luck using the Windows 8 laptop?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wire55:
7.4.9 shrunk the /system and other areas in the root of the device so you would not be able to root it and install gapps.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GameGuru41:
Wait, got this yesterday off eBay and it was at 7.4.8. I attempted all night to root it using these guides to no avail. I wake up this morning and for some reason it is 7.4.9 even though it isn't registered (I bought it from an auction that says you can't register it because I planned on putting a custom ROM on it anyway). Can I downgrade it? What can I do?

Thanks Red_81, I appreciate all the help I can get. Ok question for you, it tells me to choose the download I want but I have no idea what one to choose since I am at 7.4.9. Which one of these should I use:

Downloads:

KFHD_SRT_v1.3.5- 7.3.0 (seperate option for restoring factory recovery)

KFHD_SRT_v1.3.0- 7.2.3 (separate option for restoring factory recovery)

KFHD_SRT_v1.2.3- 7.2.3

KFHD_SRT_v1.2- 7.2.1

KFHD_SRT_v1.0- 7.1.5
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_81:
Pick any one of them. Replace the images in that one with the ones from my google drive link. Run the bat file.

I'll see about mirroring the other files when I get a chance, but I'm at work and may not have the ability until later tonight.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GameGuru41:
Not to sound stupid but I don't need it rooted before running this right, it just has to be in fastboot mode which the cable automatically does correct?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GameGuru41:
And another question, I see that the files in the new 9.4.7 say "stock", does that mean it is just the standard Fire OS or is it modified with the Play Store? Reason I ask is my Kindle Fire HD can't be registered so I wanted to put a custom ROM on it so I can access the Play Store.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_81:
You will need to downgrade with the stock images to 7.3.2 (I think) and then follow the instructions for adding the second bootloader and custom recovery. This thread should explain it.

What type of charger would I need to take full advantage of Quick Charge 2.0? & I also read somewhere that it can support even higher than 1.67a chargers? Would that mean it would charge even faster than a 1.67a if I got for instance a 1.97a charger?

Also is there any downsides to using this or benefits I should be aware of before going through with this?

Links to any recommended chargers would be appreciated as I'm very lazy lately LOL (or just a name & site), thanks ahead of time!

No, that Amazon charger won't charge much faster than the original charger that came with the phone. I don't believe there are any quick charge 2.0 compatible chargers available yet. HTC said they will release one later this year. The charger has to have specific circuitry to support quick charge 2.0. I use a 2A charger that came with my Galaxy S4, but it does not support quick charge 2.0. You will just have to wait until a supported charger is released.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] nostradmus:
I have looked at thousands of these on ebay and the net. All the ones I have seen with a magnifying lens above 2x have either a special case that the lens attaches too or the lense is fixed to a bracket & stand. There don't seem to be any variations in cases for the 8x lens.

There are fisheye , macro and 2x telephoto lenses available that can be used via a magnetic ring that is stuck around the camera. You should be able to use these with a case of your choice as long as the area around the camera has enough room for the ring to sit properly. Im not 100% sure on this but what I have read so far seems to be the case.

There are a couple of high quality custom setups available where the case looks a bit nicer but they cost like $100 or more and will only suit a particular phone.

If you take a look at youtube you'll notice that most of the zoom lenses have a really noticeable blur around the edges. Some even block the edges around scope of view so the edges will be black.

The best ones I could find where made of aluminium instead of plastic. This of course increases the price but the bad lenses will only make you cry if you look at the photos or video on a big screen.

Edit: the macro and wide angle lenses seem to work well.
