Yea dude like it's come to the point here that there is no competition with the carriers...there's no priced competition for devices or plans...they all just agree and box us into a monopoly...then people get bamboozled with subsidies becuse they flash 300 for NOTE 4 TODAY in your face...but forget to account for the fact it's 300...plus x amount per month for the plan plus x amount for phone per month (if phone is broken into payments) x 24 months...the average person that used to buy a note 3 from my good friend when he worked at tmobile was 2100 dollars between buying the phone...paying for the fees and service each month, and accounting for the losses and depreciation...that seemingly small up front price of 300 doesn't sound quite as compelling when you step back and think about what your actually paying and for how much how long...vs my 2nd backup/tablet data line is by strait talk...which is and Walmart reseller of the exact same service snd speed as the carrerir??? Lmao...so i have a st line with att service on it as well getting the same 50 mbs unlimited everything....45 a month...remember now same service exactly...literally the same towers...so like my dad said to me...att literally has so much bandwidth and traffic thru put they can afford to undercut budget service plans for Walmart to resell while giving the same performance and speed...so why can't they offer the same price direct? And why can't they offer umilimted lol? The whole thing is just a scam tbh man

Mega

Here's the exact breakdown we did...i found it on sd card...

Average monthly price for plan at tmo is about 110 per month...70 is 3 gb data and unlimited call texts...another 20 is umilimted data...average cost phones per month is 27 say 25 to be easy...

110 x 24 months = 2640

If your a sucker and use jump lol...you pay 50% of the device which is average 375 bucks...then the deposit and monthly payments for new phone...typically all told it's only 100 cheaper than buying outright...just like insurance the last scam in mobile...the classic thing and a big reason I ordered a 2nd mega last year is this...for insurance with a carrier you pay 10 to 12 a month, then between 50 and 200 bucks average is 150...so that's 240 either way (120 a year)...240 plus 150= 390...but i only paid 415 for a brand new mega...why anyone would get insurance on a phone baffles the mine unless you cancel it after month 2 it makes no sense...most people don't think of these things but that's why I always pay for my devices out right up front and get exactly what I want...the time and money you use it is significant

I need LTE. If I cannot have a stable system how I want it then I am done with this Mega. I just formatted it, reinstalled it to stock, no root and I am still crashing on lock screen options and on security. I tried OTA but it said system modified... It told me to go to Kies but I have never had success with that useless software.

If it doesn't work within the next few days I am shopping for a new phone...

Sorry to rant... I really want to smash this phone now...

I know ATT phones usually miss TMO bands and are bootloader locked so not even considering any ATT phone ATM.

BTW TMO is crazy fast for me. Slightly faster than ATT.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea it depends where you live tbh whose faster than who...in new York, la, Vegas, Houston, Miami and a few others are typically good on tmo and vz...att is pretty solid everywhere but there extreme speeds like i get aren't everywhere quite yet but soon...its just funny that tmobile president refuses to upgrade their system trying to force the fcc to allow the sprint buyout but it's never gonna happen...so idk what's gonna happen with tmo man the French investor got annoyed and backed out after fcc and ledge playing games..

Dont buy att...i never will again...yea they're bootloader is locked and it sucks taking forever to get basics like root and without ss anymore roms are root are gone anyway....i know your frustration man it sucks they've jacked up the system/base so bad if frustrating to even bother with...hopefully i have time when I get home tonight to get a chunk of the rom done for you guys...just fell at a horrible time with midterms and lab experiment analysis this week...fkn real life getting in the way lol

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
Man those prices are just insane, but it was the same here too a few years back, now i think an insurance for your phone is around 10 to 20 euros per month (heard something like that a year ago) a full contract/plan for a brand new phone costs around 50 to 60 euros, but you can choose wat you want and all that stuff, and if you order your plan and phone via the phone with the carrier service you can really bump down the price and get more stuff, my sister wanted a htc one and didnt want to pay much, but the phone was just released. The carrier "adviced" her to get the phone with 4G and 1GB internet 500 call minutes and sms for 60 euros a month and pay 200 for the phone, she then kinda tryd to bump down the price. Eventually she actually got 4G 4GB internet and unlimited sms and call minutes, and on top of that the phone was also free and that all for 40 euros a month. Just crazy and i dont know how she did it but if i am getting a contract by a carrier she is going to call for me lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
lol

I did some messing around...

ok, i formatted, made sure EVERYTHING was wiped. Used Odin to flash 4.4.4 Metro PCS Tar... NO CRASHING at all... phew... Now... I have to believe it is a KNOX issue... lil by lil I may play with it... I can install unknown apps now...

What I will do is change all options I need, like accept unkown apps, and then try and root... I am going to try Kingo Root instead of flashing TWRP and installing Super Su during the weekend to see what happens... Not sure if it is a TWRP, root or a combination of the two...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
whats the problem with your metro mega? mine works great. I don't think the phone is the problem, its how people use it lol

---------- Post added at 07:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 PM ----------

you have to go into SuperSU app, and disable Knox. But whats the problem you're having?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
I format it everything and wiped it clean and as I was going out TWRP asked me if I wanted to root I said no. flashed the stock rom and so far I am NOT having any issues. Security and lock screen are not crushing.

I think the issue was installing the ROM with root files somewhere in the background floating. Now what I want to do is root it. Had Internet problems at work so can go could not root.

Whatisdifference between zip instsll and supersu from the Google playstore?

At least now I know that the stock rom does not have any problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
the SuperSU flash version has the SU binary and been updated to turn knox off in KK. The one in the playstore is for those that already have SuperSU install. make sure to update TWRP to 2.7.0.5, then let it root, you have to be rooted for SU to work.

This is maybe an interesting mod to save some space on your phone, when activated in xposed you can actually grab all obb game files from the internal storage (they are under emulated/android/obb)

And copy and paste them over to you sd card (under the same folder sdcard1/android/obb)

I have 7 games installed that are above 1GB and 2GB and still have 2GB space left on internal :) its so simple.

Heres a link to my dropbox for the Obb to SD mod:

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
No you have to follow the instructions I wrote exactly...you must flash the stock rom i posted, the recovery, and megakat rom...that's why I bothered to post it all in the firdt place ..if you do not properly follow the instructions you will have issues...if you do it right it will make your mega run like a more powerful device with amazing battery life...enjoy

God****ing damnit

My 4G option is gone again, something disables it or whatever, i keep my 3G now not reflashing again for this.

I had 4G using just a minute ago even the option was gone and a few days back i still had that thing

If you look at the screenshot i have 4G in the statusbar but the options dont have it

I have turned off all my xposed mods, reboot and still no 4G option. Then i turned off my mega and removed sim card and boot up without, turned off again and put sim card back in and booted up and no 4G option.

I think its vodafone related... they are really going to **** these days.

i got my money back from them when they took it for no reason, after 12 days they did it again and got it back again, lets see for the next month. But when i get my money i will go for sure to an other carrier.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea dude it has to be your service...unless you mod something that has direct link to your 4G which is highly unlikely you would...it doesn't make any sense for your 4G to just vanish unless 4G signal is not detected by the mega...that's frustrating as hell I'm sure

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
Well the weird part is that i have 4G when on my mobile data, but in the settings it cant be found
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Oh as long as your getting it who knows what's up with the settings or what not as long as your speed stays...still weird man but at least not breaking your data

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
There's also a third option I'll consider given how many of you guys have that mega...if someone sends me a stock deodex kk rom for you mega I'll completely rebuilt it like megakat for you guys...just let me know if you'd be interested i don't mind helping you guys out

Till present, hello, Mega, runs MegaKat really. If the camera had only with pleasure known whether you still reworks it has with all falter camp of Rom tried, however, them jerks with all
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] curgervending:
I was able to physically flash MegaKat and boot the phone on my metropcs mega. However, it doesn't work properly because I did not odin flash the stock KitKat ROM which is one of the necessary steps for MegaKat to work properly. However, if you odin flash the stock KitKat ROM onto your MetroPCS phone, you will more than likely have data connectivity issues because the modem from the stock KitKat ROM is not compatible with the MetroPCS Mega (the stock KitKat ROM is from a different region so the imbedded modem doesn't support our LTE bands).

Mega[/QUOTE]

It works, I've tested it on my i9200 with its pre Knox bootloader.

When I saw your thread I couldn't refrain from trying, and using your Grakernel method I successfully flashed your Megakat without flashing the Odin stock 4.4.2 rom.

Now I'm back on 4.2.2, and back to my Knox free bootloader.

BTW, thanks a lot for the hint to use Grakernel, the random boots problem I previously had came from the kk stock bootloader that for some reasons didn't install properly on my mega, and I hadn't figured out that it would work with Grakernel;).

That said, many 4.2.2 mods don't work on 4.4.2, but that's another story...

Lmao yea dude no doubt...I'm just happy to finally be done staring at the freaking updater script hahaha...that took 10 times longer than the entire build did...yea I know man that's a bummer about the incompatible mods from 4.2 especially considering that's what 99.99% if our mega dev community is built on...glad you got it running ssmooth and stable with garak man at least you can jump camp back fourth of we feel like it buddy

Mega

Ps ironically I had a similar issue and found that Odin 3.06 will not flash the baseband and bootloader of kK but would boot the stock rom perfectly...Obviously rooting breaks wifi and cascade crashes the system this way but I tried several ways to use this to our advantage but there wasn't any...i don't mind the knox boot tbh it literally makes zero difference in terms of what roms we can flash so until it becomes more than a warranty block I don't mind
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
Is that means so using Grakernel one can flash MegaKat on 4.2.2 rom without need to install KK?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
If it's compatible with our phone...theoretically yes...i haven't bothered looking but I'm guessing he set selinux to permissive or removed it which is what integrates the knox boot into the system letting roms boot...the problem lies in the fact that without the kk baseband you'll break root anyway...that's why I say it doesn't make sense not to do the Odin update when it literally has zero affect on anything...you can simply restore or flash 4.2 roms after it you do not gain anything by not doing the Odin to stock properly

Mega

And if you ever Odin flashed a stock cna2 cna4 ml1 ml4 ect rom you already have knox bootloader anyway lol
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
Thank you. It's pretty silly to be so reluctant, at least there is no other way as to flash KK sooner or later...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] yusopa:
After follow all your step with dirty flash your megakat and sometime i got error. After that i reinstall your megakat with clean install and now running good MEGA. Battery life i okay (13 hour with 41% balance the battery). And it enough for me. Wait V2 update lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
No worries man there's so much confusion out there Between knox and kk I'm just trying to clear it up so people can make the choice with the proper information...but yea if you Odin flash kk and want to use megakat like it or hate it you know you can as easily restore megafire or flash megafire as if nothing changed...that's why I'm saying if your interested in mk there's no need to wait since the new bootloader doesn't change anything from a user side of things...and yea I agree everything's going kk...there's a lot of apps I'm seeing that are getting updated to kk and no longer supporting jb so it's already begun to some extent

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Awesome dude...it'll def get better too for whatever reason these kk builds take 2 to 3 days to reach full speed and stable long battery life...my first 2 or 3 charge cycles were terrible then like 3rd day it just blew my mind lol also def reboot after installing all your apps ect that will jump start the settling in

Its going good here, battery finnaly settled and charging is normal, everything runs great. The only thing is youtube, the buffer stops and goes slowly and that causes laggy screen for me (dont know why, when on other roms its like smoothly with no lag) also something i just found out, when watching a video (a gameplay from someone playing call of duty or minecraft) when somebody turns around fast, screen moves very fast or like falling (something that makes the screen goes faster) it lags very badly, trying to seek the problem now

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea you have to have a mod interfering with youtube bro...i watch YouTube constantly on my mega's and it's always silky smooth and crystal clear...and unless my wifi goes in an out in a storm I haven't seen buffering since stock rom last year tbh except on those 2 broken youtube updates a few months ago...but if your watching over data network that's also a consideration since some carriers limit streaming bandwith other you wouldn't ever buffer because 720p streams run with zero buffer at like 4 Mbs
