You need to odin nb1 (flash back to stock) this will put your recovery back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] androidfine16:
Yes I have the at& t s4. And that sucks I was really looking forward to flashing cm 11s. I don't care for the knox being ticked off being that I'm on no contract. Do you think I can use Odin or something to revert back to 4.2 safely without bricking the device. I hate touch wiz. And the battery drains quickly plus the phone gets hot when used for a while
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] androidfine16:
Won't this look the bootloader cause I read downgrades are practically unsafe on this device. If not than I'd much rather go back to 4.2 so I can load a custom recovery being that u don't mind tripping knox. So long that it doesn't Brick or render the phone use less
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Apoplectic1:
Odining back to NB1 will not trip Knox. Also, I believe downgrading to 4.2 will not touch your bootloader, if it were that easy we'd all be rocking CM.

You could run this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2767026

Its technically not a TW ROM, but it has its quirks. It was never intended to work on locked bootloader phones, but it has been retrofitted on to them.

Wrote this if you would like a guide on how I got 4.4.4 version up and running, it's kind of tricky.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] drock212:
Nb1 and nc1 are the same. Nb1 is just a small update over nb1, there isn't even a tar file for nc1 because it's such a small update. You won't be able to odin back to anything prior to nb1 unfortunately without bricking. Now I do understand the hatred of touchwiz but once you're rooted you're able to delete a lot of the garbage bloatware put on by Samsung and AT&T. This makes the phone so much better along with super long battery life. I've been able to get 4.5 hours of on screen time and about 16 - 17 hours of off the plug time like this.

When deleting bloat you can easily Google and find lists of what people have deleted off their phones using titanium backup (amazing app, let's your freeze or delete what you don't want). Also one thing I found out which is dumb. Deleting Samsung hub breaks auto rotation (what one has to do with the other I'll never know) but you can download the file needed to fix that here

I've had my touchwized sgs4 for about 3 weeks now and can say I'm not as upset with it as I thought I would be. Let me know if you have any questions about certain things. I've found a lot of workarounds and little edits here and there to get my phone a lot closer to how I want it.

Are there people working in unlocking our bootloader because this thing is really annoying .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] androidfine16:
Ps: No one answered my question. If I don't care for tripping the bootloader being that I'm on no contract. Is their a way to trip the flash counter and get on a recovery? I don't care for Samsung security knox or their bootloader security.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] drock212:
Nope. Bootloader and knox are completely different. Knox will just give annoying messages once tripped. Bootloader without unlock we're pretty much dead in the water. There has been some talk about ways to possibly unlock the bootloader so it's definitely being worked on. I've also read that the black hat even (hackers convention) might have something promising. Also anything that is done on the s5 could very well apply to the s4. It's all just a matter of time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] androidfine16:
Sounds great that the s5 and s4 integrate . Also there's a bunch of stuff online which shows how to disable certain aspects of the bootloader using linux (Ubuntu) . Do you think that'll work. It's a huge risk.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] drock212:
If it hasn't been done to give us anything I wouldn't do it. Only thing we have right now is safestrap. Which is similar to a dual boot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] androidfine16:
Similar to dual boot but can't load any rom you want on it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
Bootloader unlock is not possible at the moment. Devs with plenty of knowledge are looking into it with various methods. Downgrade to 4.2 isn't possible as you can't flash the older bootloader which is necessary to use the exploit. Safestrap, Touchwiz ROMs, and the one GPE in our general section are the only things we have right now.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] drock212:
You can't boot any rom because of the bootloader and kernel. You can only do touchwiz based roms because they utilize what we can't touch... The kernel

Hi all.

Just a very small problem but still very annoying

When useing notes or even adding/editing contacts, the back space key ( soft or hard ) sometimes fails to respond , even though the screen is registering a tap ?

If i soft reset the Vario all is well for a while, its only when its been left for some time.

Any ideas please ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Lurker0:
If you have CAPS or Shift active, Backspace works like Del, i.e. erases the character under (before) the cursor, if any. Just in case...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] killabeezz:
Many tanks for your advice but the problem still persists.

When typing a text or in word, the back space will not delete the previous character or move a space back ONLY when i toggle to the '123' button will the back space work correctly ?

(Also if i soft reset its all fine for a while)

The key is regestering a tap and the screen has been re-aligned just to check.

Got me well confused :confused:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2488575:
So I've read and read and read and I feel comfortable with all this however I just want to double check that everything I'm doing is right before I continue. I was late to the Note 3 party so I haven't been keeping up with the developments lately.

I have a Rogers Note 3 running Android 4.3 Build MJ4. This device has a stock rom only modification is that it was rooted. Still has a stock recovery and everything.

My goal is to install Dynamic Cat 4.0

So here are the steps I plan on taking

1. Factory Reset Phone

2. Factory Update to 4.4 kitkat

3. Root using Towelroot

4. Install Safestrap Recovery

5. Install Dynamic Cat

Would this process work? I'm assuming once I go to Kitkat I won't be able to go back and try any Jellybean roms, is that correct? Is there a better way to approach this? Thank you for any help
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kandywrks:
Hi,

I am currently on 4.1.2 12.0.A.2.254, rooted eXistenZ Ultra 3.X (LB).

If I am to upgrade to the newest eXistenZ Ultra 4, would I first need to update my stock firmware to 12.1.A.1.205, re-root, apply latest Doomkernel etc. and then flash the ROM or does the ROM already contain the newest firmware and kernel?

I know the set of instructions are on the second post, however, I just wanted to verify if this method is outdated for the newest ROM update.

Thank you.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kandywrks:
Seems that updating the firmware also updates the corresponding kernel.

[Android] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Ever since I've moved to AOSP based roms (SlimKat, CyanogenMod, OmniRom, Resurrection-Remix,...) , I've noticed that in the DDMS tool (a tool for developers) that it shows all processes, and not just debuggable processes, including all third party apps' processes and OS's processes.

This never occurred for me on stock roms, no matter which device or stock rom I've looked at.

This issue annoys me as a developer, since I usually run only a single app that I develop and when I go to DDMS to choose the app's process, I need to find it amongst many processes (even of WhatsApp) , and, provided it hasn't changed its position on the list, click it and debug it.

So I asked about this on some kernels forums, and usually people didn't mind about it (and for good reason - it can bother only few people).

I've found the next tweak which can do it, but since I'm a complete newb in creating/modifying kernels, I have no idea how to patch it:

Found from here .

I've contacted a few kernel developers and one of them agreed to check it out. I've tested it on CM and it worked just as it was intended :

Only debuggable apps' processes were visible and ready to be debugged.

Anyway, I wish to ask whoever is an expert in developing/modifying kernels those questions:

1. Why isn't this tweak enabled by default?

I mean, this is not the normal way roms work. It's not like this on any stock rom I've seen, not even on Nexus stock roms...

I also don't get why it's this way even for "final/stable" version roms (meaning not nightlies or experimental ones), since you'd probably not need to be able to debug them (users won't give you their device just for that...) .

2. Can you please explain to me, step by step (but don't assume I know anything about kernels development), how to take a rom's zip, and change its kernel so that this tweak will be enabled?

Maybe I could make an automatic tool that does it, either in Java for desktop or for Android.

3. Is there any way to enable this tweak without modifying the kernel? Maybe by using a tool that works with it?

Or maybe, provided we got root, change something to enable it?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeffersonJDiaz:
My phone does not turn on. It happened after installing a mod of Xposed Framework, after reboot the phone, went out, came charging indicator lit then no more, I can not enter any mode or download mode or recovery.

What can I do? Will a JIG could help me?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saadiko:
Have you taken the battery out and tried to charge with another cable?

A JIG will start recovery mode, perhaps works.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tys0n:
Yeah it's more likely to be a battery issue or other hardware failure.

I doubt that a apk installed in /data would render both recovery and DL mode unbootable. They're not even mounted when booted to system.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeffersonJDiaz:
Yes, I tried, even bought a new battery and the problem is maintained. When I connect the phone turned off, of course, the computer and try to turn my pc makes the sound when you can not install or recognize a hardware.

[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] The Sickness:
I am in the process of porting over a S5 mod. The mod includes the S5 SecTeleService.apk, which replaces the SecPhone.

The problem is, you can place a call, but if you press the "end" button it disappears and you cannot end the call. And, you cannot receive a call. The dev of this mod doesnt know why its not working.

Now it is based off of International firmware, and I have it working on T-Mobile M919. What I need, is if anyone know of the files, etc that deal with the SecPhone so I can compare them to see if something is missing.

I thought it could be a csc issue, bit I done believe that it is. Any help in this will be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] broodplank1337:
There seem to be a lot of problems, to sort things out I would first suggest him to start checking logcat... Isn't logcat the first thing you check when an error like this keep occurring I would think? . Without a logcat it's a guessing game.

Anyways, you can decompile SecPhone.apk and check the dependencies in manifest. under the uses-library tags, for example, I took a SecPhone.apk on my drive, decompiled it with apktool and found this in manifest:

<uses-library android:name="com.sec.android.app.multiwindow" android:required="false" />
<uses-library android:name="libvtmanagerjar" android:required="false" />
<uses-library android:name="secmediarecorder" android:required="false" />

So what's the problem? ATT? too new a hardware version? I have the worst luck with this stuff - if I buy a router to flash a custom firmware like Tomato, it's the ONLY version that isn't supported. crazy.

I'm not sure what a custom recovery is unfortunately. That said, can I root this phone at all? I guess if I can't flash the rom I want to use, can I at least install titanium and freeze all the crapware that I don't want running?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestX0019:
Any build after mdl has the bootloader locked down. If you read thru those two threads OP pages you get an idea. You will also need to get familiar with SafeStrap. I am on the old build and can use an exploit called loki-doki to bypass Sammy's security check and allow kernel to flash.

There may be some new stuff on rooting NC1, but I don't keep up. Basically you had to go back to mk2 to root then go back NC1 and use SafeStrap to flash only TW roms. The SafeStrap thread will explain that. But, it creates slots on the System partition again fooling Sammy. More or less--:)

Like I said not an expert as I don't have the issue you have with bootloader. But that is the gist of it. Just need to read up so you don't brick--good luck.

New way to root is call towelroot. Google it or search for it around here the link is everywhere. It's an apk file made by geohot (same guy that jail broke the iphone and ps3). Once you root you can install safestrap. If you've ever owned an droid device they have something identical called boot strap. Think of it as a dual boot of sorts. Definitely keep your eyes on these threads as well as the sgs5 thread. If an exploit is discovered it'll probably be for the s5 and will be compatible with our s4 (towel root was made for the s5 but works for a whole bunch of devices)

I was in the same boat as you 2 weeks ago, bought a NC1 and wanted CM, and used this to root. I currently use the Google Edition ROM that has been modified to work on locked bootloader phones, though it does have it's fallbacks.
