[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mactechnm:
Requesting help. I am not a noob by any means, I have installed custom roms many times, and rooted many phones, and installed and used safestrap on several phones, but I cannot get ANY custom rom to install properly on my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4, which is (was) rooted, with Safestrap 3.72, and MK2 firmware.

I was running the stock 4.3/mk2 firmware, with the latest busybox and supersu, and the latest safestrap, and safe root installed. I was able to successfully root the phone, and install safestrap, but even when I created a rom slot, gave it a name, wiped it completely, and then try to install one of the many 4.3/mk2 "Safe" roms, no rom will boot, once installed. It is so frustrating! I read somewhere that with the Verizon S4, and MK2 firmware, you could only install a rom in the stock rom slot, so I tried that, and now safestrap is gone, and the phone boots to a light blue screen with little green checkmarks. So I'm in the process of downloading the original MK2 firmware from Samsung and using Odin to restore. Anybody have any ideas? I'm thinking of quickly getting rid of the S4 while it still has some value.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
3.72 is for 4.4 KitKat and was made for the AT&T version of the S4, therefore, you are not able to create slots. You would need to install 3.71 and only flash 4.3 based roms. If you want 4.4 based roms you need to upgrade to NC5 and install 3.72, but you are only able to flash to the stock side.

There's plenty of info for you to read in the General section.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mactechnm:
Thank you for your response. Actually what I failed to mention is I did have 3.71 installed first, and I had the exact same problem. So it's not an issue with the safestrap version. And I have tried about 12 different ROMs. Including BajaROM-S4-Release-v-2.2 and BoneStock4.3_S4v2.1. As I said, I'm not a newbie at all, and I'm not about to hunt and peck for information again (which is what I've been doing for two days now). I wouldn't have asked for help if I had been successful in my search.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
I have never had an issue installing any safestrap compatible rom...3.72 is strictly for android 4.4 and no rom slots...so no way you would ever get a rom installed using 3.72 on MK2 base build. As for 3.71...never heard of any issue with SS compatible roms for 3.71 not installing right. Really difficult to figure out what you are doing wrong from what you are giving us...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mactechnm:
Again, thanks for your help. I'm going to start with Odin. Wipe it all clean and start over. That's always the best option. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 52brandon:
basically, I'd follow this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2763834

I'd go back to MK2, root, BB, SS 3.71. Then go up to NC5 ROMs with SS 3.72. Wiping EVERYTHING along the way, system included, not just factory reset

Similar Issue

I not a noob either im very familiar with how this whole operation works.

I have a very similar issue as well I'm (unable to flash roms including my own recovery). I'm 100% knowledgeable on CM, but when it comes to Safestrap or TWRP base Recoveries I'm far from noon but not an expert so to say... Here's my issue. I have the NC5 firmware and once had the Hyperdrive RLS17.1 KK S4 Final.zip... I went back to the I545VRUFNC5-Stock-Root-Deodex.zip.... I recently attempted to download another ROM, (based on the same firmware of course) as soon as I attempted to flash it (which only took about 1 min and didn't work) I figured something was wrong. So I just decided to go back to my recovery that I've made a few moments ago. When I tried to do that. The msg " E: Unable to mount '/system' " appeared.

Now I've notice since then Wiping and Flashing return the same results.

There is no longer an OS on my S4... I can not Mount the System.

So I believe in stuck in Safestrap 3.72.

(Please let me know what other info you need, I spent the last couple of days trying to figure this out on my own, so far I'm losing the battle)

Please help guys.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmgib:
Pretty sure you will need to Odin the stock NC5 image and start over.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] damien302:
Oh ok. The Stock NC5 image... Great.

Where can I find the stock image?

If possible, could you please send a link?

Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
I only just saw these posts, I have not been on here for a week or so but if you are still having issues... As far as what went wrong to begin with, did you factory reset/advanvanced wipe all but the internal sd before flashing? Are you only installing into the 'stock' slot on SafeStrap? As far as the fix, if you are suck in Safestrap, you will need to boot into recovery mode, if possible and wipe/factory reset and then boot into download mode and flash one of these http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2735172 in Odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] damien302:
Thanks a lot man. The is has been resolved...

I had to Odin the stock NC5 (exactly what you've just mentioned in your response.) I had to flash it twice actually. The first time only took about 3 mins. I then tried to restore my backup, but during the time it restari SS (when the flash was approximately 90% done) I then went to restart the system and then received the notice "No OS loaded). So I wiped all except my SD card and then I just thought to myself to just try and Odin the stock NC5 one more time (it was getting late and I was about to give up). On the 2nd attempi it took almost 3 times the length as before (15-20mins) when it finished, it bypass the " unlock Samsung screen " and displayed the stock splash screen and audio then the Verizon screen. ( I was happier the a crackhead at a free crack-give-away)...

So I want to thank you for responding, I was determined not to give up,, and it was really close before I was about throw in the towel... Thanks a bunch. (You're response was exactly what I did last night)... I was about to update my issue as soon as I fixed it las night was it was so late and I was really sleepy, then I wake up to your message with the exact fix.

Thanks a lot ☺☺

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] nviz22:
Does anyone have overheating problems with their GS5?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
Nope. Stock kernel and ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] nviz22:
I have stock kernel and rom, so no overclocking or any mods.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
What are you doing when the phone gets hot?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] nviz22:
Let it cool off. It's minor stuff that gets it hot too: I have a black otterbox commuter on mine and it overheats when I sit on my phone texting with like 5-7 apps running in the background such as Snapchat, SMS app, What's App, Contacts, Settings, Facebook, or Instagram. Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Lookout, Wifi (off when at work), Hangouts, Twitter, and Google + are considered my background apps since they update in real time when I get messages or notifications. I hardly use it for gaming or any CPU/GPU power hogging. The device sits in my pocket for prolonged periods of time and is only a week old. It can get to even 50 degree celsius at times for little activity.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
Yeah, I was just asking to see if you were playing games when it gets hot, but I see you don't. This might seem dumb, but is the weather hot where you live? If it's hot and the phone is in a tight pocket, it's going to get hot.

But if it isn't, maybe something is using your GPS...that makes the phone pretty hot quickly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] nviz22:
Nah, it's a fair point, but moot in my case since I am indoors at work since I work in an office and I am in an ac at home. Hardly outside much, but the temperatures are like 90 degrees fahrenheit. So roughly 32-33 degree celsius I think. I don't use NFC, GPS, or anything much at all. I turned off a lot of the extra smart features too. Only game that I have played w/ "high graphics" is Temple Run 2 on lowest settings. I took it to T-Mobile to get a diagnostic, but the guy said the case causes it to overheat and my dad says his Note 3 overheats, but my Note 3 never overheated unless I downloaded like 30 apps at once. I have a black otterbox, which the color does trap heat. I went to get it swapped out today, but the Kiosk told me that I had to go to a corporate store. I will go tomorrow. I might just swap out the phone to another device or another S5. They want to charge a $50 restocking fee for swapping the device. I love the S5, but the overheating is just awkward and unnecessary and excessive.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
Swap it out, and if it still heats up, then just get another phone if you can. Try without the case first though...I don't have a case, so maybe thats why mine doesn't heat up much.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] nviz22:
I am afraid they might not since their diagnostic tool didn't show problems on Wednesday night. I think I will ask them to. If not, I'll ask for them to waive the restocking fee or meet me half way and take the HTC One M8.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
I can guarantee you that a metal phone will heat up more than a plastic one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] nviz22:
Ironically, I didn't have problems w/ my HTC One M7 regarding heating, but I got a new S5.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
Really? I had the M7 and that would heat up pretty fast, but I heard the M8 runs a lot cooler, so maybe it'll work out for you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] AxAtAx:
Try a few different kernels, some seem to run hotter than others. Happens to me all the time kernel hopping...lol

Good luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] kneipe:
Mine started overheating about three days ago after working fine (I've had it about a month). The battery would drain after a few hours without use and anytime I used an app it would start heating up. Everything is stock. I did a factory reset and reloaded my apps. It seems to be working fine now but I'm going to watch it for a few days.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] hutson23:
The only times I have noticed it getting hot was when I use Google Maps..I have been using Project Infinitiy and Alliance ROMs and only stock kernels.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] nviz22:
It happened on stock twice. 120+ degree fahrenheit on the phone with no apps in task manager. Swapped to the HTC One, which has its fair share of problems with the LED light and duplicate texts.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degast:
When it charges it will overheat, that's standard protocol. How are you charging it?

I have tried both wireless charging and wired and I conclude that the wireless charging heats it much higher than wired. If you think it is getting too hot: download some battery app to check your temperatures and statistics.

Don't ****ing overcharge the phone either.

If all fails: just hold in under the tap a minute, should cool down pretty fast.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Sure. Is that all you wanted to know? That doesn't seem like a particularly useful datum, but it's your nickel.

If by chance you wanted more details or information, perhaps you could add more details yourself? Do you think that your S5 overheats? Why do you think that? What actual temperature does it reach? You really haven't provided nearly enough information for us to understand why you are asking.. or what you hope to learn.

It's normal for a smartphone to get "hot" under load. It's also a meaningless adjective without a context or quantitative measure. I don't believe that Qualcomm or Samsung have released thermal specs. But it isn't hard to estimate a thermal envelope.

My S5 idles around 30 - 35C. Light use sees 45C and perhaps ~65C under load. Which doesn't concern me at all. PC processors can see 90C+. I wouldn't worry about a phone that stayed under 75C. The processor will almost certainly auto throttle if it exceeds TDP in any event. TDP is rumoured to be ~ 5 W for the 800 series Snapdragons.

Hi ya all.

I just poste this message to share with you my idea. I'm not a programmer but I see in here most of you can do almost everything. Why not create an app that will manage/modify the leds notifications? Something like there is for the Palm Treo called Butler. You can assign any combination of LED for every events. Eg. New incoming sms: alternate the right led green and yellow. Incoming call... blink the bluetooth blue led vry fast... and so on.

Hey... it was just an idea.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] BlockEight88:
Looking to get some advice here. I have noticed that when you plug in a headphone jack into the HTC One M8 (unlocked, AT&T version) the sound quality has almost too much treble? I have noticed this with ordinary headphones, along with the auxiliary cable in my car. Is there anyway without rooting to change this, so that it doesn't sound so bad? Some headphones are worse than others btw.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] an0ther:
Poweramp will let you adjust it.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] BlockEight88:
Not a fan of poweramp here. Do you know if turning boomsound off when headphones are plugged in makes a difference?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
For the most part, there is no such thing as "too much treble" or not enough, etc. Its a matter of preference, depends on the source material, what music genre you listen to, etc. Every device is equalized a bit differently out of the box based on what the manufacturer thinks "sounds good" (completely subjective), and the same goes with various headphones, etc.

This is one of the reasons why you commonly see threads on XDA like "what headphones are best" with a bunch of different opinions and suggestions; with little or no consensus.

Personally, I find the sound of the M8 out of the box to be pretty good. In fact, I find most phones and other devices to be too bass heavy out of the box as most manufacturers seem to think this is what the public likes. Due to this, I have the bass on my car stereo turned down along with mid, and boost on the treble.

But if you prefer less treble (and its consistently too much for you on different headphones, speakers as you stated) you can try any of a number of equalizer apps on the Play Store that don't require root.

If you need a particular suggestion, here is one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.equalizer

I don't personally use it on this device; and only a bit on previous devices. There is probably better. But it seems to work okay, decent interface and options, and I like the developer's widget "Audio Manager".

---------- Post added at 11:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 AM ----------

Just tried it, and turning off Boomsound does seem to reduce the treble level. Bass also seems reduced, and the result is a bit too mid-rangey for my taste. But you might see if you like the result or not.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] BlockEight88:
Very true. The kind of sound a phone produces is highly subjective. I appreciate the response.
