Hi peppe130,

Thanks for making all this possible. Do you have instructions on how to "convert" roms so to speak cause hate to bother you for updates on individual roms.

Also, I dunno what happen with the GoogleDrive GoldFinger ROM but I have been trying to download it for the past 2 days now on 2 separate computers and 2 separate ISPs... Every time at the end of completion it would say "Failed - Network Error" . I disabled antivirus, same thing.

Would it be possible for you to add a mirror somewhere else? Also possible update to the 5 Sept Release? Lol...

Btw, would like to buy u a beer/coffee for this could you PM me your paypal ;) Cheers!
[Galaxy S 4 General] kabloomz:
Btw, If I am going from a different custom rom with custom recovery do I need to restore to stock?

I'm coming from 4.2.2 Omega Rom w/ Philz Touch Recovery. Knox still 0x0 (or doesn't seem to exist yet lol)...

new or old bootloader

Hi folks, do I have to be on the old bootloader, or the new knox-bootloader to use this?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Nex94:
With this guide you can flash the rom in 2nd post because the flash don't modify the bootloader and the kernel. When you falsh with odin mobile you can stay with KK firmware with new bootloader, the knox counter increase only if you change kernel that haven't the samsung signature.

If you have the old bootloader search the rom based on it. I try with my S4 with original NF1 ITV software, I root it with towelroot and flash with this guide the GOLDFiNGER 1.1 and now i have new bootloader, kernel GNG8, ROM and root. I'm very happy!
[Galaxy S 4 General] papazaf:
with this procedure is possible to use other than stock kernel or will trigger knox?
[Galaxy S 4 General] michiel1995:
So this guide can be used no matter what bootloader is used, as long as I use the roms from this thread? :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] Nex94:
I talk directly with peppe and i think the tester and other user that used this guide have the new bootloader. With old bootloader i think that not working.
[Galaxy S 4 General] peppe130:
This guide is made for who has the new bootloader

You can use this guide also on old bootloader but it isn't useful.. you can flash a custom recovery and then a whatever custom rom

I have the old bootloader :) My tester has the new one
[Galaxy S 4 General] donomark:
Everything works perfectly. I've tested this methodology with Imperium Rom on my i9505. Still knox 0x0 after flashing the modem, the kernel, the rom and its mods.

Thank you!
[Galaxy S 4 General] peppe130:
Good :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] alexisgt:
[MENTION=5650065]peppe130[/MENTION] Great work!

Can you update the GOLDFiNGER at v1.2?
[Galaxy S 4 General] peppe130:
It's a minor update.. For now no update mate.. Maybe later.. Too much busy at the moment
[Galaxy S 4 General] alexisgt:
Thanks for your fast reply!

Keep up the good work!
[Galaxy S 4 General] kabloomz:
Can you elaborate on this?

I am on the old bootloader.

Do I skip Step 2

"2) Flash with Odin the Modem/NON-HLOS combined with the ROM. For a guide on how to do it, read the notes number 5 and 6."

Did you reflash stock ROM w/ old bootloader (from custom). Skip step 2. Flash the Goldfinger. Which KK firmware are you referring to?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 General] robertogl:
Man, if you are on old bootloader simply download a CWM recovery and flash the rom zip, no problem :p
[Galaxy S 4 General] kabloomz:
Ehhh... Doesn't 4.4.2 depend on updated Bootloader and Kernel?
[Galaxy S 4 General] robertogl:
Nope, i'm on stock 4.4.2 with MGA bootloader.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Beefheart:
What a fantastic guide, it worked perfectly and I've just installed Imperium V10 and kept my Knox 0x0. :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] Schabadaba:
can you update the newest goldenfinger rom?

i installed it (Version 1.3) but i had a bootlop
[Galaxy S 4 General] peppe130:
you don't have to download roms from the original thread. Only from google drive.

Pay attention.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Schabadaba:
yes i have realized that :D

will you update the goldfinger rom in the future?

if yes, i want to wait.

Very good Thread, btw. excellent instruction! :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] peppe130:
Yes I will update the ROMs but I'm waiting for my tester
[Galaxy S 4 General] BRSG:
I was interested in trying this method to flash custom roms without tripping knox, but In a ROM like Phoenix that has an aroma installer in the original version, how can I choose which mods to install?

Or it just installs the default mods?
[Galaxy S 4 General] peppe130:
I selected the best mods.. So no aroma
[Galaxy S 4 General] BRSG:
You have done a terrific work with this, very good indeed, but, unfortunately, the best mods for you may not be the best ones for me and I'll give you an example: everyone likes the S5 incoming call notifications... I prefer the Note 3 one...

Well, I must try to see which mods I want to add to the zip file... Can we add/delete files through 7Zip?
[Galaxy S 4 General] peppe130:
Mods will be added in next days.. Don't worry :) I will create a zip with Note 3 Incoming Call
[Galaxy S 4 General] BRSG:
That would be awesome :laugh:

Is there any way that we can choose which mods to install/add, even if we have to do it manually by adding the apk (and any other necessary files) to the rom zip file like we do with the normal version of these roms?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Battlehero:
If you would like another tester, I don't mind.
[Galaxy S 4 General] coolpix90:
great

amazing work! i'm on phoenix roma since 20 days... knox 0x0
[Galaxy S 4 General] Beefheart:
New version of Goldfinger out today (2.2). Would love an update of that if you have time.
[Galaxy S 4 General] peppe130:
Ok don't worry.. I will update it
[Galaxy S 4 General] dinamo1975:
I have problems with GPS (Igo Primo v2.4 won't find satellits)
[Galaxy S 4 General] VitaliySever:
Please, could not you update

imperium rom?
[Galaxy S 4 General] peppe130:
Could someone send me the GoldFinger META-INF?

I will update all ROMs.. Don't worry
[Galaxy S 4 General] ccrusher1:
Just making sure...

So, this will allow you to flash custom roms on a device running 4.3 with a secure bootloader and knox??
[Galaxy S 4 General] peppe130:
What do you mean for secure bootloader?

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeb1801:
I have a UK Xoom WiFi (604) which I only recently bought reconditioned and it was in perfect order - you would have said it was brand new.

I also have a Galaxy S3 and S3 mini which I rooted and both are running KitKat and both are great so, I thought I would do the same with my new Xoom, and thats where the trouble started.

After some reading here on the forum, I followed this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2506997

I thought I had followed everything to the letter, but now I can no longer load recovery - screen just shows TWRP loading screen (the blue screen with TWRP) and the tablet freezes at this point.

When I try to load fastboot (I did successfully unlock the boot loader) I get "Starting Fastboot protocol support." and my Xoom freezes again, and when I try RDS I get "Starting RSD protocol support 3 "

Can someone help me here or have I killed it?:crying:
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeb1801:
Fixed it - managed to get into fastboot and reinstalled factory image using adb, updated OTA once booting again and back to where I was with a fully functional Android 4.0.4 tablet - happy once again :D
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donriner:
How'd you do it?

Would you mind a few details? Exactly which firmware file did you use? Please post a link or PM me.

How do you use ADB from Fastboot?

I'm in the same spot with a Xoom which has lost recovery but does have fastboot and rsd. For some reason, nothing I flash to it (without error, mind you) is there after and I'm stuck at the M.

Thanks! :confused:
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeb1801:
This is what I did - All of these instructions were done on an Windows-based PC, This is not my work - I found this info on the web.

You'll need a USB data cable, Motorola drivers, an original system image of the Xoom firmware - I got mine from this thread on here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1049485 and part of the ADB SDK - I got this from here http://www.android.net/forum/downloading/67/guest/SDK_tools.zip - extract this zip to the root of your C: drive so the folder looks like this: C:/SDK_tools

Once you have downloaded the correct system image for your device (I used Build H.6.2-24 for Retail Europe as I have a Xoom WiFi 604) extract all the files from the zip and copy them into the SDK_tools folder, make sure they are not in a sub-folder - they should be in the same directory as the fastboot files. The directory contents should look similar to this - don't worry if its not identical - as long as your img files are there together with adb and fastboot you should be OK:

adb.exe

AdbWinApi.dll

AdbWinUsbApi.dll

boot.img

ddms.bat

fastboot.exe

recovery.img

system.img

userdata.img

Make sure you also have the Motorola windows drivers installed.

Once you've done this turn on your Xoom and enter fastboot (power on with power button plus vol+ then after 3 seconds press Vol- till you get fastboot on screen) as long as you see "Starting fastboot protocol support" on your Xoom screen it should work. Connect your Xoom to your PC via the USB cable. Open a command prompt on your PC and cd into the SDK_tools directory. Once in there type the following commands at the C:> prompt one at a time:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot oem lock

This should completely restore your Xoom to factory and lock the bootloader. This will allow official updates to download and should get you back to original.

This worked on my UK Xoom WiFi and allowed me to install official OTA updates from Motorola. The first time I ran the above I left my Xoom unlocked but was then unable to update OTA.

I hope the above is helpful. As I've said this is not my work and was gathered together from resources on the internet. It worked for me so hopefully will work for you too - good luck and let me know how you get on.

Does that take several pictures then combine them into one picture, like a multi-exposure shot from a film camera? If so, that would be neat. Unfortunately I have not heard of a camera app that will do it, but I would be interested in finding one too.

I think the camera need direct access to the hardware for this to work fast enough. Android camera api isn't really fast enough. This will come with L were all third party will have the access that the oem has created for them self today.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] abhi08638:
Honestly this is a good phone BUT the truth is since the moto g is a newer phone, it will be easier to support. I checked out their Dev forum and it seems pretty active

don't forget to hit thanks!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ClarkOwen:
You're awesome :)) thanks :)) but if it were you, would you sacrifice hardware for software? Or sacrifice software for hard ware?

Sacrificing software means 0 to none ROM development but having a great top specs hardware

But sacrificing Hardware means you get a minimum 5mp cam, 8GB internal and a smaller screen but With a lot of ROM support.

Which one do you prefer?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] abhi08638:
Tough choice, I think I'd choose ROM support, although I would never go lower than a 4.7 inch screen. This phone has its fair share of problems for some people like network loss, GPS not locking, bad battery life, and overheating. For other people, its completely fine but its the risk you take when getting this phone. I would rather just buy a used nexus 4 with 16gb of storage (8 is wayyy to small for me) from swappa for around $200

I rolled the driver back, but it keeps updating to it. I've uninstalled and deleted the driver, yet it keeps reinstalling it. Somehow, my MTP connection started working again. Not sure how though. If I knew which KB update it was, I'd uninstall it from there.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
The other option is to manually change the driver in Device Manager from the ACER one to the Google one. I think it's happened as M$ have the ACER driver digitally signed whereas the Google one isn't so it'll always choose the signed driver...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wvcadle:
I'm not sure how to do that, because, of course, if you try to update it, it will say that the Acer one installed is already the best driver. And after uninstalling it, upon plugging it back in, it updates to the Acer driver automatically again.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
You have to manually check and select 'choose from a list' and you'll see the MTP option as well as the Acer one. Select the MTP one and you're good to go
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wvcadle:
Btw... thanks for your help.

Hi guys, I had the same problem. My phone was configured as MTP but when i connected to Win 7 it would appears in the Device Manager list as "ADB", this wouldn't allow me to transfer files so what worked for me was:

1- Connect your Mobile to the PC and it appears as ADB Driver (In the device manager screen), rignt click on ADB and select Browse my computer for driver software.

2- Choose let me pick a from list of devices on my computer and choose the option MTP instead of ADB.

3- Did that and problem solve, hope this helps for you !!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] empathyvirus:
Delete this Acer ADB driver when you uninstall it

I have the same issue. Here is what I did and that resolved the issue. Go to "Device Manager" to uninstall the Acer driver. The uninstall window pops up asking you if you want to uninstall it. There is a check box that says "Delete the driver." Make sure you check that off and then go ahead and uninstall it. Once that's done, plug your Nexus 5 back in. The correct MTP driver will now be installed and your computer will recognize the phone normally. Hope this helps.
