Hi,

Thanks by your information but when I put this:

xda2nbftool.exe -x galaxy.cap galaxy.nba 0xAB7BC0DF or

xda3nbftool.exe -x galaxy.cap galaxy.nba 0xAB7BC0DF I received the following error message:

Any Idea to avoid this?

Thank you very much

LEAP in P525

It is possible to patch the existing Wireless to add on support for LEAP authentication?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jackleung:

Hi jackleung,

Thanks for your advice, but It doesn´t work. I just ignore the warning message and when I want to continue typing "prepare_img....." appears a message saying :searching IMGF...Not found!!! (or something like that)

Please, Please, Please, Any can help me?

hi all

i know this is not part of this thread but i need help with my asus p525.

for some resone my asus lost signal and from that moment cannot recognize any sim card.

i'm using sorg (amazing) ROM 3.32 and i dont know what to do...

did it happen to some one?

or just to me?

what can i do to solve it??????

please help me ...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] s200:
Hi Jackleung,

Again, Thanks for your help, I´ve tried again and this time "IT WORKS", I´ve been able to dump the wwe 3.32 ROM. :-) . This its great.

But now, the following question is:

* How to delete the programs that I don´t need (and the Register Key associates)

* How to put the software I like (and the registry keys)

have to be CAB, Signed CAB, it doesn´t matter, and what happened with programs that it´s necesary put some password to register --> It´s possible to do that (install this password) in ROM.

Thanks again

Fernando

erezj,

if you're sure that device really doesn't recognize any SIM card then i suggest flash standard ROM image from ASUS and go to ASUS center. Probably some cirquit damaged.

About cooking ROM: I don't want spread application to calculate CS of ROM because i don't want increase work for ASUS service centers. It's really VERY easy to convert your device to brick! CS is the only thing protecting your PDA from damage. That's not a game! At least i came to this application though deep dig of many forums and exploring ROM in hex viewers, disassemblers and so on. And before do next step i was sure there is step back available. Giving such utility to users thinking about integrating CAB into main ROM(!!) and asking about how to work with registry is like giving bomb to child :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] miso1391:
@sorg

I am adult please give me the bomb :)

Why U care about ASUS service centers?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jackleung:
Hi Sorq, I fully understand yr rationale here. So please concentrate on yr latest rom now. :)

Erezj, did you try soft/hard reset to see if the problem goes away?

S200, if you read the thread fully (especially Sorg's message), U will know that we can only use Addfile.exe/delfile.exe to add/remove "files" from the rom. (but the viewimgfs tools is good for figure out what's in the rom now) "Cab" is a installation package consists of files and registry setting. (And you can use tools like WinCab Manager to add/extract/modify CAB file)

Does the Asus P525 come with Cyberon voice commander 2.0? If so, can somebody extract it? Thank you.

sorg,

thats the thing... i cannot flash the 3.20 ROM , i did every thing you say here.. format MINI-SD card as FAT copy the ROMGalaxy.nb0 to my card then the camera ad reset thing byt i can see on the screen in flashing red "BOOTGA~.NB0 not found"

what to do???
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jackleung:
I don't get it. Why you need to border w/ ROMGalaxy.nb0 as we can flash P525 with galaxy.cap??? I already flash back from Sorg's rom to CHT HK rom w/ the galaxy.cap file.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] creazy2000:
sorg,

I know it is very danger to cook the rom , and i have been cooked a rom for a SmartPhone. I really want to know how to do that, so sorg ,please tell me ok ? You can send a private message to me , please! plesae! pesae!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ingvarr:
I dont think you need to worry about that :)

Since unauthorized flashing automatically voids the warranty on device, it would just bring additional revenues to ASUS ;)

Audio connector pinout

Dear sorg, i have a brand new P525 and before starting changing roms i will like to do a bit OT question about audio connector pinout, because it looks like it didn't work like normal HTC do. I can't use the htc or similar stereo headphones, so i presume that Asus has changed the pin out.

So, do you know how can be this pinout?

Thanks in advance.

can i install this rom and it will be in english???

can i install some rom and have it turned to english????

please advice fast.since i haev to leave taiwan in 1 day.

thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jackleung:
Yes, that's why I am doing now.

Hi Sorg,

Since you are so good in hacking P525, have you find a way/program to have the keypad backlight stay on instead of turning it off within a few second?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] erezj:
so please i wanna be sure before i but the ASUS.

i can buy it in chinese and convert it by sorg's rom to be in english???

please confirm.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sorg:
erezj,

my P525 is Traditional Chinese by born.

Now it's fully english.

jackleung,

i don't know yet where is it. Sometimes, when my P525 locks in some unsuccessful experiment, backlight of keyboard is continuing to react on key pressings. I think it's done by hardware purely. Anyway, leaving backlight on for a long time will eat your battery very fast.

noussommes,

i have no plans to release ROM in other languages, sorry.

Anyway, most applications are exist in only english language.

I'm russian, but prefer english interface anyway :)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jackleung:
It's not a issue for me since I always keep it charging when driving. It looks cool and easier for me to locate the button when driving in the dark.

Opps, just got the PhoneAlarm 1.6 alpha (build 81) from the developer, which got backlight working probably and you fixed PhoneAlarm by yourself already. And removal of MagicButton is a wise choose since it's too buggy to be useful. And Wisbar Advance serve me well for task management.

nope.. seems nobody interested in this..

jackleung,

i don't know when author will fix this.. I found the way to fix it by myself. Also, by this, i added functionality which probably official version will not have long time. Why i have to set new backlight settings for mute profile? I don't know when i will use mute - may be from Home profile, or may be from Work profile. In these profiles i use different brightness, so i don't want to change brightness just because i want mute device.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jackleung:
Just some suggestions for upcoming rom:

1. Can we have latest PhoneAlarm beta as it provide more feature and fixed the "pop up warning" when ring type set to "None"

2. Do we still need Asus build-in profile manager as PhoneAlarm provided lot more features?

3. Any chance to provide program/tools to switch CPU mode on the fly? (It would be nice to use Turbo mode for "car" profile in PhoneAlarm and "auto" for the rest.

Anyone know what is the purpose of "download agent" from WM5???

I think in Europe most of the people prefer to have in the Calender the working hours from 09.00 to 18.00. Maybe it worths to make this change in the ROM.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ingvarr:
ASUS has a built-in support for CPU frequency scaling - Intel Wireless SpeedStep. Due to it built on system level, its dozen times more responsive then any "application-level" CPU scaling tool can be. All third-party CPU scalers in "auto-scale" mode never can instantly "switch the gear up" if you start working with device after it lying idle, ASUS built-in scaling has no such problem.

And also its notable that "Auto" mode is more effective on standby/idle then "Power Saving" mode. Thats because "Auto" drops frequency to 100 Mhz on idle, while "Power Saving" keeps it on 200. Side tools cant reliably set frequence to 100Mhz - it causes LCD problems.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] float:
Sweet!

I love your cooking! althought i have disable almost all of the "added feature" such as phone alarm and Spb pocket, still very usefull to me.

Why do you need to manually set the speed anyway?

Auto mode most effective when CPU is idle and it always run CPU on full power when programs need it.

PLS Advise
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] CollinsB:
Hey all. So im usually not in these threads, i own a sprint note3 myself. But my friend has a metropcs s4( SGH-M919N, jfltetmo). And he wants to root but dosent know much about rooting, roms ,and such. I would say im pretty good with these things, ive had a lot of experaince, just not with the s4. So basically i did some research and im putting a mini guide below of my understanding of how to pimp out this phone! If anyone could correct, add-to; and answer some of the questions I had. Thanks Folks! :cowboy:

General Questions

First off. My understanding is T-mobile and metropcs software is NEARLY identical.

1.What is the current version/ name of the latest T-mobile s4 software.

2.What is the current version/ name of the latest metro pcs s4 software.

3.Are they identical, or compatible. Meaning could i odin the latest stock tmobile s4.tar software on metropcs phone, and have everything work properly. (In case i were softbricked)

4. If not could someone please link me to where i could find the official stock metro-pcs..Tars (flashable with odin)

Rooting methods:

1.)This is Chainfires Auto-Root for t-mobile S4 which some have said worked well for them. Thou I have read of issues (loss of wifi- Fails)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2294005

is this the best most current rooting method for metropcs phone? Again any success or issues?

OR..

2.) Injecting twrp then flashing Update-Supersu

This is the most used rooting method for note3 and it seems fairly universal. Would this likely work for Metropcs S4?

Step 1: Place "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip" on sd card. This is Chainfires flashable root (http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/)

Step 2: Odin twrp-2.7.1.0.tar for tmobile s4 (http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/179)

Step 3: immediately boot into twrp. Flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip.

Reboot: Done

Theoretically this should easily root phone and instal twrp recovery, without changing stock software...thus, no issues. YES?

Unrooting

Again could someone please point me to the correct stock software .tar that I could odin to unroot, un-soft brick the metropcs s4 :)

Custom roms:

I hear that the custom roms for Tmboile and Metropcs are very interchagnale

Obviously the AOSP unified custom roms should be safe to flash without issues. (jflte roms)

(Cm s4 unified nightlies: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=jflte&type=nightly)

BUT:

what about touchwiz based roms. Are there any specifc toucwiz metropcs custom roms to flash. Or can any of the t-mobile toucwiz custom roms be flashed to metropcs phone.

so again. If anyone could give me their thoughts/ideas, and clear up some of the questions i had and point me to best/safest way of working with the metropcs s4. Thanks in advance, sorry i know its a lot of reading: :good:

4.3 or 4.4.2? I have a Metro Gs4 and I used saferoot on 4.3 with no complications at all. And any TW ROM will work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] CollinsB:
thanks for the reply.. but ya i was asking what is the latest official software for the metropcs s4, and what is it called. I havent been able to take a look at the phone yet, so im having to look everything up.

My understanding is that the metro pcs was only upgraded to 4.3 with the name of mk5.

was there a kit-kat update released for metro s4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
1) NB4

2) don't know but I think it does have 4.4.2 update

3) pretty identical but I would not interchange firmwares

4) sammobile.com

Root

1) no issues with me with M919 using that method

2) I wouldn't recommend doing it this way, after 4.3 it doesn't work very well.. It looks like you're looking to flash a ROM, so root isn't even needed, just flash a recovery with Odin and flash ROM.. Although this will trip Knox counter.

Unrooting just flash stock firmware

Custom ROMs: aosp or touchwiz will work without issues.. If WiFi does not work, flash NB4 baseband (safe to flash on M919N)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kriptik210:
From what I am told the s4 for Metro is still coming our with 4.3 JB. But once the phone is activated you have to opt out of the update when it asks. I have been treating MK5 just as if it was MK2 and I have not had any issues.

Here is a link with the stock MK5 firmware
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] CollinsB:
Thank you so much for the Stock firmware! :good:

I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the *seemingly* conflicting responses.

So i got a chance to look at the phone. It is 4.3 Mk5, What is MK2?

So, so far your "saferoot" root method seems to be the safest most compatible root method from what ive read.

thou as far as installing custom recoveries Twrp seems to be the best, but ive read that 4.3 Is now a locked bootloader!???

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2544503

that sounds ridiculous. I dont believe its locked. and i should be able to odin the latest version of twrp to the device, right? I know knox has been implemented in 4.3+ but thats no big deal

also about roms:

I know that the actual tmobile S4 did get a kit-kat update (called NB4) the metropcs variant definitely did not

you said that any touchwiz rom would work, as did [MENTION=4715351]serio22[/MENTION] above.

But it seems that they only stock custom roms in these threads are tmobile touchwiz kit-kat roms.

but according to [MENTION=4715351]serio22[/MENTION] above: I should not "interchange firmwares"

So if that is true what touchwiz roms can you flash? they are all tmobile roms :confused:

My understanding was I could root, odin twrp. And flash roms. Aosp roms are golden but, i would think that since metropcs even uses tmobile network now, you should be able to flash any tmobile custom rom (even if its kitkat) and have everything functioning... True?? :confused:

thank you both very much [MENTION=4715351]serio22[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5274384]Kriptik210[/MENTION]

and im sorry to be a pain im just genuinely confused, and i really need clarification, i said id have this guys phone figured out by Monday! :eek:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Firmware is not the same as ROM, that's why I suggest you flash ROM instead of firmware, any ROM will be ok. Bootloader is not locked I'm sure, Knox bootloader does not mean locked bootloader as many people think. Just Odin twrp and flash your ROM as I said earlier, rooting would be an extra step.
