ItsOn Service has stopped

Anyone know what I am doing wrong??

After I flash the ROM, I can't do anything because within a min or two, it comes up with "ItsOn Service has stopped". Hit OK and it just keeps coming up non-stop.

I tried flashing the ROM with TouchWIZ and thought maybe that was the issue, so I switched to TWRP and am same issue. Yes I am doing a full wipe.

The above error is with the "Mostly Stock NG2 v1.3".

I have already used Odin v3.07 to flash NG2 Modem driver with no issues.

I then tried just the stock rom... It flashed fine. Everything seems to be working except for two kind of important features of the phone...

I can't send/receive calls.

I can't send/receive texts.

If I try to call out, the number just disappears from the dialer and nothing happens....

If I try to text, it errors and says it failed to send the text.

By install these rom will void the knox to 0x1??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ROMANTiC KiD:
By rooting or installing a custom recovery you will trigger Knox.

Not true.. How properly to revert the knox?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ROMANTiC KiD:
There is no way to revert the Knox trigger. Well not at the moment.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] silenthatred:
I figured it out...after playing with the Negalite ROM, I found it was partially working...lockscreen only swipe was an option and it would lag seriously when unlocking, sometimes would not unlock at all. I tried various things, until I stumbled across the following information in a SAC thread on another forum. It said:

If you are coming from MF9 ROM and would like to keep your MF9 bootloader and therefore avoid Knox (and perhaps keep your SIM unlocked):

Install MF9 Stock rooted ROM via Odin

(Downgrade to MDL and do international SIM unlock then upgrade to MF9 Modem)

Odin MJA Modem only & restart

Odin MK2 Modem only & restart

Odin NAE Modem only & restart

Odin NG2 Modem only & restart

Install Philz Recovery (link below), install NG2 ROM of your choice, now WiFi should work.

Based on that, since I was coming from MF9, I installed the MF9 AIO, without the ROM, via ODIN. Restarted back to bootloader, then installed in the order above rebooting back to the bootloader between each. Since I used the AIO MF9, I never lost my recovery (TWRP latest version) so I didn't have to flash a recovery again. I just booted into TWRP, full wiped and installed the mostly stock version I was trying before and it worked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Tekone:
Yes.. it's possible.. By flash the complete stock rom, it can revert back.

Anyone know where can I find a complete stock NG2 rom?? Rwilco12 website don't know the stock NG2 yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] elwood:
You can get it from sammobile but no stock ng2 rom with reset knox. Once you are 0x1 you are tripped I've tried it and in download mode it still showed 0x1. Good luck
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
I'll be the one to say it. You don't know what you are talking about. Once you trip Knox flag by rooting and installing a custom recovery. You CANNOT revert it back. It will forever show 0x1. Unless someone comes up with a way to flip it (which one year later it hasn't been accomplished).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] elwood:
Agreed. I basically said the same
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] guitardoc64:
I have had to reflash the modem before when MF9 hit in particular. I got the order mixed up and had to reflash the modem to make wifi work.

Lock Screen

Is anyone else unable to set their lock screen. Every option is grayed out except PIN and Password... They don't seem to work even when set.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] felibon:
My lock screen options all work. Nothing grayed out. Actually, this ROM is flawless! Everything works. Bad download maybe?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pojieps:
Yeah, it is happening on both mine and my wifes... Same download tho. I will try a fresh install.

Thanks for the response.

Lockscreen issues

You can try to edit your build.prop to see if this works. All you need to do is comment one line out using the "#" sign.

original

...
ro.securestorage.support=true
security.mdpp=None
ro.security.mdpp.ver=1.0
ro.security.mdpp.release=2
security.mdpp.result=None
ro.sec.fle.encryption=true

ro.securestorage.support=true
#security.mdpp=None <-----Add the hash sign (#) to the beginning of this line. Don't add this text, just the hash sign
ro.security.mdpp.ver=1.0
ro.security.mdpp.release=2
security.mdpp.result=None
ro.sec.fle.encryption=true
...

Reboot and that might do the trick. If not try a new download and be sure to check the md5sum to make sure you have an exact copy
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pojieps:
Thank you! That worked!

Checked my MD5 and it checked out. Did a clean install and still had the issue...

Not sure what is causing it, but it is fixed now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sandman795:
Tethering Capability?

Smooth ROM.

Only question is if any of you were able to enable native tethering on this one...I just sold this phone tonight and no longer have Sprint service...Can anyone confirm if this supports tethering or if there is a workaround if it doesn't?

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mxmr:
Do you mean a hotspot mod? I posted one in the OP for the deodexed version of the stock rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sandman795:
Yeah I saw that, but wasn't sure if it was an add-on app like foxfi or if it would enable the hotspot in the settings menu. Can you clarify it for me?

I just would hate to send this phone to someone and find out it isn't working for them.

Thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mxmr:
It enables native wifi hotspot tethering through the hotspot menu in the settings. At the time of this post, only a deodexed version is available.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] lightiv:
I am really looking forward to trying this out and getting back to stock rooted. I am assuming all is working.

I love the custom roms but the all seem to have one or two annoying and sometimes big flaws. Tethering is the only reason I need to be rooted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Im a troll:
Will this allow for screen mirroring (Miracast to non Samsung TVs)?

Can I go straight from 4.3, Kernal 3.4 to this without tripping knox?

Can I dirty flash this and keep all my data/settings without error?

Thank you!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] guitardoc64:
I just took the plunge and installed. Wiped dalvik and cache first, installed ROM and odined modem. All seems to be working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mxmr:
Yes you can flash this without tripping knox. Knox has been removed from this rom and bootloaders are not included in ROMs (which is really what you need to watch out for with knox - the bootloaders).

You can try doing a dirty flash (wiping only cache/dalvik) - some users have reported a stable experience, but that's not guarenteed..it's always best practice to do a full wipe before flashing; I always recommend a full wipe. Let us know if either method works for you.

As far as screen mirroring goes i don't have a TV to test on. This is almost completely stock so if it works on other stock roms it should work on this one.

Good deal. No data wipe, just cache/dalvik? Looks like the previous poster may be able to get away with a dirty flash.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] guitardoc64:
Yeah that's what I did. Several others posted success too. I was stock rooted MK2 so it worked as an update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nck4857:
I just dirty flashed the Odex over NAE and it worked perfectly fine, fyi.

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] superflyking:
Dirty flash a deodexed over an odexed?

I currently have NAE stock rooted odexed installed. Do I need to install the odexed version of this to do a dirty flash? Ideally, I would like to to dirty flash the deodexed for the hotspot mod.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] lightiv:
Great Job

I flashed yesterday and things are working well except that you cannot activate the lock screen to use a pin. I think there are some fixes for this that I will try to find. I did have random reboot exiting my Waze app this morning.

I am very please with this rom. My GPS performance has went up greatly. Way to go!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mxmr:
For lock screen issues see post #25.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] guitardoc64:
I got the security policies update popup. I canceled, but should I have allowed?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] joshdv:
Did you do a full wipe when you installed? What version of TWRP did you try?

Try going to phone settings and "Update Profile" then "Update PRL" and see if those work. If not, I would try downloading the rom again and make sure the download isn't corrupt.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] i7vSa7vi7y:
I flashed my S4 to boost and this is the only ROM that doesn't kill my 3G. All other ROMs give me 1X. Any idea why? My APNs are the same
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MakeMoves:
Thank you! I installed almost stock and everything is working great including hot spot. The only issue I have is I am unable to get into recovery using the 3 button trick, only way to get in is by enabling 'reboot into recovery' through the power menu through Winam Xposed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
There is no three button trick. Its power button+volume up to boot into recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MakeMoves:
Oh, I always thought you had to hold 'home' as well. Regardless, neither one works for me after flashing this. Not a huge issue however.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] EVObastard:
Sorry if this is off topic a little but I am having trouble finding the correct procedure. I am upgrading the my wife's phone from MJA, can I use this method to get to NG2 without losing root? I'd like to upgrade to NG2 and install a new ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] guitardoc64:
Yes it will work. Flash the ROM with recovery and flash the modem with Odin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dvs323:
Calendar app

I'm running Mostly Stock NG2 v1.3 and am loving it but I seem to be missing the stock calendar app. Can somebody please upload it for me?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] samdsox:
*Never Mind I somehow corrupted my data partition - a full wipe/factory reset , twrp update, and reinstall fixed it*

Phone is stuck on google boot screen, I've tried everything I can think of. Wiped it, reinstalled, reodined. Do you think its a corrupted download?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] EVObastard:
Obviously back up first but can I expect to lose any info from internal SD when flashing modems from Odin? She has so much stuff on the phone I don't want to accidentally delete something.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] silenthatred:
No, you are only flashing a modem if you are following what I was doing. It doesn't wipe internal storage.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] uf20wop:
this didn't work for me.

anyone get GSM mode working with this ROM? currently travelling internationally and would love to use my phone :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] uf20wop:
update... flashed the NG2 stock odex firmware from the OP and i can select GSM network mode no problem... any idea what's different about the mostly stock 1.3 ROM?

update 2... GSM also works with refitted ROM
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nmarrufo:
This is going to be a very noob question. forgive me as I have not done stock firmwares in awhile. I'm on a Cm 12 rom and I need to flash back to a "Stock" install just so i can activate the phone to a different line. How would I go about doing this without losing my bootloader and be able to flash back to another rom when im finished activating. I'm not worried about knox as it has already been tripped on my device. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] edufur:
I have always just done a wipe / flash stock rooted / activate / wipe / flash CM. Never had issues doing that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] leenhia:
Will this work for SPH-L720T Tri-Band version of S4?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] EVObastard:
Just installed debloated on my wife's phone, that's some sick **** man. Well done!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] SB03:
This rom the best. Only thing that seems to not be working is S Beam or NFC or both. Tried to beam something to my girl to no avail. IDK maybe I deleted something that is necessary for it to work. What APK's are required? Beaming Service and NFC service are both running so I know that isn't it. Do I need those stupid ANT services?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gpshemi:
Deecided to return and give this a go after running SACs with MF9 for a while. I installed this ROM and it worked awesome...other than no wifi or tether. I concluded it was because it was on MF9 still. So I flashed NG2 modem tarball and the phone instantly started acting up again doing what it was doing last tie I tried this setup. volume / lockscreen / ect all goofy, and wifi still doesn't work. I guess I don't understand the difference between the Modem and kernel. The ROM flashing I've done alot. I'm sure there's something else there I'm doing wrong.

On option I'm considering is flashing back to stock (right now), then letting it OTA update to the newest stock ROM, rooting that and debloating. I just was hoping to avoid all that.

Wish there was one complete package I could drop in ODIN and have it work like the others.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] guitardoc64:
Yeah you might have missed a step in flashing. The bad part is if you did flash the firmware update you can't go back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] amieldl143:
Men.. I got the Verizon s5 echoe Rom v. 29.1 running super awesome. .upsm everything works.....took me some setting up and debloating done.. but everything is working... let me know who is interested...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
I'm interested :), PM me, note than I'm on the L720T

×RN×
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gpshemi:
That doesn't appear to be an issue. I confirmed the baseband ended in NG2 after flashing. It acted just like it did months ago when I flashed it.. It does read MF9 again. All is well again after flashing stock with an exe, followed again by this refitted version. ..with the exception of wifi and hotspot of course. Most likely becaise its not NG2 right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] EVObastard:
Deleted question.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] derrick1976:
hey guys,just wodering what kernel can be flashed to this rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] koivth:
I believe any sprint compatible touchwiz kernel for kit kat (android 4.x.x). Look into ktoonsz kernel and negalite's kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Elpoep:
Hi,

I received this GS4 (SPH-L720) from someone who unsuccessfully flashed their phone.

I tried to factory reset and the phone was stuck in reboot.

I held down volume down, home and power and this was displayed:

ODIN MODE

Product Name: SPH-L720

Current Binary: Custom

System Status: Custom

Knox Kernel Lock: 0x0

Knox warranty void: 0x1

CSB-CONFIG-LSB:0x30

Write protection: Enable

eMMC Burst Mode: enabled

I found tutorials to flash with Odin 3.10.0. I went to sammobile and found the corresponding file for the SPH-L720 to flash back to stock. With Samsung USB firmware up to date and my official Samsung cable ready to go I flashed and was out of boot mode. I then factory reset the phone. Phone will not get wifi.

Software version: L720VPUFNG2

Android Version: 4.4.2

Baseband: L720VPUFNG2

Kernel Version: 3.4.0-2162929

I then found a forum where I was advised to download a modem only tar for NG2 and attempt to flash the modem. -0- I used the Tar file from this thread.

I downloaded the tar file from a mirrored site and used a sum checker.

*Before I ever posted on here I had updated the Samsung drivers... before flashing the Stock rom to get the phone out of boot

I opened Odin 3.10.0 and loaded the file

I unchecked all the boxes in Odin

I completely turned off the phone (removed the battery)

Booted phone into loading

then plugged the phone in and waited for Odin to recognize it

I hit start and it ran indicating all requests were successful -- but nothing happened. I was then advised to try a lower numbered version of Odin. I then used 3.07 and tried again.

This is script from Odin while attempting:

"enter CS for MD5..

Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable.. (the phone isn't plugged in yet though)

Please wait..

NG2-ModemOnly.tar.md5 is valid

Checking MD5 finished Successfully..

Leave CS..

Added!!

Oding v.3 engine (ID:3)..

file analysis..

SetupConnection..

Initialization..

Get PIT for mapping

Firmware update start..

NON-HLOS.bin

NAND Write Start!!

Transmission Complete..

now writing.. Please wait about 2 minutes

receive response from boot-loader

RQT_CLOSE !!

RES OK !!

Remain Port .... 0

All threads completed. (suceed 1 / failed 0)"

... this script was while using PHONE to load the NG2modem tar

my phone had a blue bar indicating the download was occurring but froze stating not to disconnect-- since Odin was finished I closed Odin

then unplugged the phone even though it indicated not to disconnect (I waited a long while and auto reboot was unchecked in Odin)

I went into recovery mode and hit reboot.

.. nothing happened.

I tried all 4 of my USB ports and tried using both AP and CP to load the tar.

I then tried just turning off the phone and removing the battery for 10 seconds and turning the phone back on (as per advisement of someone else) and the wifi will still not turn on.

Any other suggestions? BTW I did used an official samsung USB cord, the one that came with the S4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fuzzybuffalo:
It looks like you did everything right. It sounds like a hardware failure to me, but

I'm using a L720T and the few times wifi would not turn on for me, I was able to fix it by flashing a different kernel.

You might try flashing one of Ktoonz's TW kernels or reflashing the stock kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] EVObastard:
Battery life is improving after running this for a month however I can not seem to keep the Wi-Fi off. Sprint optimizer is off, Wi-Fi notification is off, every option related to Wi-Fi, that I can find, is off. Any ideas?

Thanks a bunch.

Is Smart Mode turned off?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] EVObastard:
Yes
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] KrypticOnyx:
Ok so go into your settings click on Wi-Fi then press the soft key to the left (menu button) click on Advanced and make sure "Always allow scanning" is unchecked and "Wi-Fi Timer".
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] EVObastard:
Already off/unchecked
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] KrypticOnyx:
Hmm.. Only thing I can think of is there might be an app that is turning on your Wi-Fi. I had the same issue but did everything I said and don't have the issue anymore. Sorry I couldn't help maybe someone else knows something.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] EVObastard:
Not at all thanks for trying. That's what I was thinking, there's an app that is turning it on somehow.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fuzzybuffalo:
Do you have Google apps auto updating, I remember someone had trouble with one of the Google apps or Location services.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] EVObastard:
No, the very first thing I do after signing in to my Google account (directly after booting up the first time) is to disable auto update. Thanks though, good idea.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mikesal57:
Don know if this helps...

I just got update over OTA and I couldnt keep wifi on after restarts and shutting it down.

Under Advanced WiFi options there's a "Auto Network Switch" option to change between wifi and mobile networks..

After I checked it, the Wifi Turned on after phone restarted.

Mike
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] EVObastard:
Yes, tried that, thanks. BTW if you are rooted you may lose root as well as other problems by accepting the OTA system updates, if that is what you were referring to.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] miketucky350:
Runs flawless on mf9 boot loader. No issues and great battery life. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Team Scream:
I have tried 3 separate downloads of the ModemOnly tarball and it simply will not flash with Odin.. I am intimately familiar with how to use Odin and followed the directions on the first page to a T and nothing... I get a fail fairly quickly into the process..... md5 checked and verified on all 3 downloads also so that is not the problem...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fuzzybuffalo:
Have you tried a different usb cable and usb port?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Team Scream:
Yep and after my first post, the attempts at flashing this thing bricked my phone... I am just now coming out of the nightmare of going back to stock and re-rooting and trying to find a suitable debloated kitkat rom I can run for a while.... This was painful.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fuzzybuffalo:
Sorry to hear that, it does sound painful.

Good luck on finding a KK Rom, it seems like most of the devs are just waiting for LP to drop.

I have not tried this ROM myself, I'm actually on a SPH-L720T, and I have been doing the same thing, just trying different ROMs.

I keep going back to Negalite WondeROM, but it was a pain to setup also. You have to use his svn to get version 3, only has version 1 linked in the OP.

And it's the only ROM I have flashed that replaces your recovery. I'm using TWRP 2.8.4.0, and the ROM installs a custom version of Philz Touch.

So I had to odin back to TWRP. But I keep restoring my backup, and use it as my daily driver.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Team Scream:
Yeah I am not really sure how to use the SVN thing, so that would explain why I have failed 3 times to install Negalite.. I was using the rom form the download link....?

Perhaps if you get a minute you might share what you did to get Nega installed properly via PM?

Sorry to thread jack ....!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fuzzybuffalo:
That's not the problem. I just installed v.1. Moved to Negalite thread.
