[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestX0019:
I am not SafeStrap savvy either. But, with MK2, I "think" you can only flash 4.3 roms and may need the older SafeStrap. I would, if you haven't, get up on the SafeStrap thread and check out "All Things MK2 etc" thread. This isn't an easy phone to flash and some more research may save some headaches. I didn't catch your post count. You need 10 to post in Dev Section. Always wipe System along with Data and Caches before flashing rom. Assume those are available in SafeStrap recovery. You might want to upgrade to NB1/NC1.

You do need to check rom md5 after downloading with file manager like ES File Explorer. I use a Command Window and just drag downloaded rom to window. The md5 is basically a way to check that you got to your phone what the download site was suppose to send. It is a checksum. Roms don't always download correctly. However with all your failures, I doubt that is your problem. The md5, if available will be listed on thread OP page and/or download page. Also, try downloading to Internal, if you are not, and see if that helps.

A lot of this you can Google, as I did in the beginning. If all else fails go to the thread "No Stupid Questions" It is Stickied at top of Q&A and SafeStrap is currently toward bottom of first Q&A page. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] brownie9987:
It's probably because you have safestrap version 3.71? If that's the case all the latest Roms require Safestrap 3.72 so try updating and see what happens
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Damani311:
says 3.72 isnt for MK2. And when i tried it it won't even load into recovery. So i guess I can't use any KitKat roms.

SO now that the umpteenth problem is out of the way, while I'm downgrading back to 3.71 can anyone recommend a good 4.3 rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestX0019:
Oops, told you. Sorta. Would keep reading those related threads and go to the 4.3 ROM threads listed in All Things MK2 and read the OP and last 20 pages of thread to get a feel. The different SafeStraps are particular in how you flash Roms to them. So check that out too. As far as how the roms work, it will vary for each user. So, have a backup. Good Luck. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] brownie9987:
Well you're right on that part 3.72 isnt for MK2 BUT! after you get Safestrap 3.71 installed on MK2 you can use this method and flash this NC1 Rooted Rom in Safestrap Method 2 Post 3 to be exact http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2730144 follow the instructions to a T and you will be on NC1 4.4.2 and once there you will have to download terminal emulator and type "su" then enter then "setenforce 0" (that changes you're SElinux status to Permissive instead of enforcing) because the safestrap 3.72 apk wont install properly once done with that download a busybox apk installer and reinstall busybox after that you should be good to go install safestrap 3.72 and then reboot into VIOLA
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestX0019:
Daman you got two pieces of bad advice here.

1. Double check suggestions before doing them

2. That's done by reading thoroughly the threads I suggested till you understand enough not to get into trouble

Looks like trouble on Hyper also, that's why I am re-stressing study first. I want you to get it right the first time. SafeStrap is complicated untill you understand all of it--:good: :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Damani311:
yeah i bricked my sd card permanently with that 3.72 attempt

i got another thread going where i've flashed the rom, but it doesnt have wifi and i can't get it to work right...i'm getting there. slowly:silly:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestX0019:
ok good

did flash correct modules?

another month you'll be getting other folks out of trouble--;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Damani311:
well just putting 3.72 on there and trying to flash anything bricked my sd card

not sure what order to flash rom/modules/compatiblility packet, but i'm getting no wifi/internet and all the bloatware is still there: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2520418&page=111

my posts are on the second to last page but i just want to flash that rom. or any rom.. I've been at this ten days now :/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestX0019:
I won't be able to assist any further, sorry. I have reached my limit on SafeStrap.

Go to the No Stupid Question thread in Q&A. And tell exactly where you are and ask for next step. Maybe odin back to stock and start over after some re-reading. jd is pretty good there with helping out on all kinds of issues. You generally won't get much help in the actual Dev thread. :good:

Also, tedusa77 is pretty good too

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] scott560:
hey guys,

I need help asap! I tried using the video on this website to root my tmobile S4. I downloaded Kies, Odin 3.07, ROOT_M919UVUAMDL.zip, and CWM as recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.2-jfltetmo.tar, I did NOT install triangle away( i forgot). I went through the steps and passed in Odin. then, when I pulled the battery and booted in CWM i couldnt find the file so i went to the store to buy a sdcard. when I came home i re-ran through Odin and found the root zip on the external sdcard. I successfully installed the root zip and clicked reboot. my problem arose when it showed a "KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING" in red, and a "SET WARANTY BIT: KERNEL" in yellow. it seems to be frozen in this screen and i can only use the CWM and Download mode. I have tried re-using Odin .

Please help!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
That's an old root method. You can either

1) flash a custom ROM and go about your business

2) Odin back to stock firmware and root with cf-auto root or towelroot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] scott560:
I'm sorry, I'm a Noob. but 1) where can I get a custom ROM and how do i apply it? 2) can you elaborate on your #2?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rlichtefeld:
1) You can find tons of Custom ROMs here: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/development

You usually flash them to your phone via a Custom Recovery such as CWM or TWRP. Or, is some cases you can use ODIN. Read, Read, Read, Read before your flash. It is very easy to do, but you need to understand what you are doing. All Custom ROMs come pre-rooted.

2) You can download a stock ROM from here:

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

Or, you can use Kies to download and install the most recent firmware for your phone.

TowelRoot is a new option for rooting stock ROMs that are version 4.4.2 (KitKat). This method of rooting doesn't trip the Knox flag.

Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGwMs8JPBhE

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Thanks for replying however, you do not flash custom ROMs via Odin, you need a custom recovery like twrp or cwm.. Stock firmware you do flash via Odin.. And their Knox flag is already tripped, wouldn't matter :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rlichtefeld:
Thanks for correcting me that most of the time you flash Custom ROMs via a Custom Recovery on the S4.

But, if I'm not mistaken you can flash Custom ROMs via ODIN as long as in the right format and you select the correct partition.

However, most of my Custom ROM history is with a HTC device, so I may be mistaken.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
It is possible but 99% of custom ROMs are not made to be flashed with Odin, in the past two years I've only seen about 1. And it is also inconvenient

SEARCH EVRYTHING

Hey guys,

Iv'e published my new app for android power users who have lots of files on their device and want easy access to them. It's called Search Everything. It's a file search app that scans your file system and indexes it. Then filters the list by your search term. The result is a fast almost instant results. It operates much like the program "Everything" on windows.

Google Play Link:

[Android Apps and Games] RogueNeuron:
I'd really love to use this app full time but it does not list any files on my external SD (/storage/sdcard1).

Also, a few basic optinos like show/hide hidden files or garbage files from cache folders.

On the plus side, I really love the sheer speed and i like the color and simple interface design.

Hope there's an update sooon! :)

Good work, thanks much!

[Android Apps and Games] jon313:
The app works great- just like Everything :)

I've got a suggestion- it would be great if you could make a widget like google's quick search bar, or an app "in" the notification bar (like Notable).

And if it could search apps too.

I know it's a lot- but it's just to get you thinking if you want to add something (the app works great as it is, for me) :)
[Android Apps and Games] edhenry59:
LOL you beat me to it. I was gonna suggest the same.

This app is great! Exactly what I have been searching for for a long time! Here are a few more suggestions:

Option to exclude specific locations from being indexed/searched.

Option to launch the app by pressing the search capacitive button, instead of the default google search app.

EDIT: forgot to mention the reason to exclude specific locations - don't really need the gallery thumbnail files in search, do we?
[Android Apps and Games] geekon:
And what about searching/launching apps? Possible? Planned?
[Android Apps and Games] scottjamesstein:
Great app, great work

I have now installed this app on my Nexus 7(2013), Nexus 5, and a Motto E and it works amazingly well.

I have been using ES File explorer since I did my first Android device root about 5 years ago and it has been my goto method of searching my devices ever since. But, as anyone who has done this knows it is painfully slow.

Your app has finally changed that and I could not be more grateful.

Thank you for all of your work it is greatly appreciated!
[Android Apps and Games] unl0rd:
FC while indexing

Fantastic idea. 'Everything' on the PC is so useful, and this is no different. I don't need it to be able to open or view a file, just find where it is, that's been the painfull part upto now.

I do however get PC's every time during indexing, once it gets to around 32K+ files.

[Android Apps and Games] RandomDK:
This would be a great feat, but imo, only if the search-speed isn't affected

This would be my nr 1 request also

I'm again worried about speed, but if you are looking for a fast and easy way to launch apps you could try App Dialer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=name.pilgr.appdialer
[Android Apps and Games] RadarNyan:
Wow, this is cool, but I'm just curious, how is this possible?

From what I know, Everything Search Engine for Windows is based on build it's database from NTFS journal so it's like superfast and always up-to-date. But for Android phones, the /sdcard (which is where most of our files stored and the place we would like to search) is usually FAT isn't it? Then how would you accomplish this?

Everything Search Engine for Windows is possible to search non-NTFS partitions by manually create a database from all the files and keep tracking all the files while running in background, are you doing the similar thing that is running a service at background all the time to keep track of new files? If so, wouldn't that kill our battery and isn't the Android's built-in Media Storage already doing something alike (but for media files only of course)

Would love to see Root feature to search also in there.
[Android Apps and Games] marl1234:
Hey guys, I did not know I was mentioned here on XDA up until now. Glad you guys are liking the app, thanks for all the interest.

Anyway, SD card was not supported on initial release because all my test devices are nexus. I'm pushing an update fixing some FCs and working on SD card support now. After that I'll add suggestions in this thread.
[Android Apps and Games] marl1234:
Showing thumbnails was on the initial design so yeah i'll probably add it.

Yes there are plans for root as this would be very helpful. Don't have plans yet for web searches.

I've only tested this on ES file explorer, so don't expect much on other file managers but I'll add support for them soon.

Will try your suggestions :)

Adding apps to the list would be very useful expect it soon.

Possible and planned :)

No background service is running in this app, Its just a simple directory traversal that is cached and updated on every start-up.

not working for me on Verizon Samsung Galazy Note 3

Hey. really good to see you here!

Unfortunately, it is not working on my rooted Verizon Galaxy Note 3. Index seems to run (though it seems to finish far too fast) but searches return nothing at all.

And add my vote for indexing the external SD card. Until that is working it isn't really useful for me anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
I really like your app, this is just amazing.

I have two suggestions (in addition to the above requested search widget):

1. May it be possible to also search for contacts?

2. There is no option to search for specific folder. E.g. when I want to search for a folder "Music Festivals" it does not show the folder, though such a folder exists on my phone.

Adding those features would make your app a very powerful app, freeing users from Google Search.
[Android Apps and Games] paradonym:
But how could be that update-function be that fast as windows-everything, without an NTFS-journal? I thought windows-everything is that fast because it only reads that journal instead of the full data.

---

App works great on my G2 running a G3 ROM - without any errors...
[Android Apps and Games] khangozzy:
Tks Dev, finally supported SD card. [emoji106]
[Android Apps and Games] xdakewie:
Good first effort, but improvements are needed to make it really useful

(1) The desktop version of Everything constantly monitors the file system in the background, so its results are truly instantaneous. This Android copy doesn't, and it needs a similar background service together with the option to auto-start to ensure its database is always up to date.

(2) Again in comparison with the desktop Everything, it lets us choose not to display anything before we enter our search term. Such an option is especially important on an Android device because most of them run on battery & are still less powerful than desktop computers; so why waste juice & time listing meaningless "results" on startup?

(3) Currently there is no support for system folders; which is evident as this app doesn't even require root. However, in order to be truly useful such as finding duplicates, the ability to search all storage areas should eventually be introduced.

Have a nice day. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] sheraro:
I'm ok with (1) and (3) but (2) will require much more battery than displaying default results , it would have to add every file created and change info about every file modified by users or by system and I think that thing occurs every second in android (synchronizations and such) , a solution for this would be a timed-out synchronization of "everything" and the possibility to choose that timer

- An option to disable scan at application launch would be helpful too , the freeze when the app is launched suggest that it's doing a full rescan everytime ...

anyway thanks for this app and keep up the good work ;)
[Android Apps and Games] zackerrack:
For me it does search 'sdcard1' folder, but ignores 'sdcard0' one which is my default sd card, also called 'legacy'. sdcard1 is buit-in.

Could You fix it?

Using android 4.2.2.
[Android Apps and Games] Hamidreza2010:
Its very good and useful app so far till now i saw it for search files
[Android Apps and Games] harrisc:
Suggestion

It is a useful app. It can call up ES File Explorer, which is good. . I would like the option from a folder in ES File Explorer do a "Search Everything" from that folder down; not the whole system.

Thanks
