[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Frankenscript:
You can keep MDL boot loader, and flash 4.3, 4.4.2, or 4.4.4 ROMs no problem. I've got an M919 with MDL boot loader and am currently running Dirty Unicorns (4.4.4-based) ROM.

I've got all the benefit of the latest version of Android (plus many customizations!) and no Knox.

The only think that you can't do on the MDL boot loader is run a newer LTE modem... the LTE modem (non-hlos.bin) is tied to the boot loader. However the GSM modem (modem.bin) is not, so you can update that part of it. It's something to keep in mind, but the LTE modem in MDL is fine and works for me quite well even in marginal signal areas.

Thank you for the info. Are you on an AOSP 4.4.4 ROM (Dirty Unicorns)? I'm on the MDL bootloader looking to install a TW 4.4.4 ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tetakpatak:
A stock firmware? If it contains the bootloader, it will automatically replace your existing one.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Frankenscript:
Yes, it's based off AOSP. See the Samsung home page for Dirty Unicorns here. Also the G+ Community for it.

If you are looking for a TW ROM, I had a great experience with GoldenEye v. 38 over the summer. Very stable, and everything worked, even on my ATT version S4 I337 using SafeStrap. I got sick of SafeStrap limitations and eventually bought a M919 so I could do anything I wanted ROM wise... but GoldenEye was very nice. Debloated, very stable, felt good.

Being very satisfied with my current version of Dirty Unicorns, I'll probably not change any time soon, thought I've been tempted to install SlimKat and build up the features I want. I use SlimKat on a tablet, and like it's very light footprint. Quite zippy.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
Just something to remember: Bootloaders (all the bad KNOX junk) CANNOT be flashed via custom recovery. So if you are flashing a stock ROM (firmware?) via custom recovery you will NOT get KNOX. If, however you decide to flash a ROM/firmware via Odin chances are very good that you will be getting a new bootloader and all the KNOX garbage it brings.

TL:DR

If you flash via recovery you won't get KNOX, if you flash via Odin you probably will.

Modems must also be flashed in Odin, but as far as KNOX goes, it's the bootloader you don't want.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jamessr79:
Okay, does this mean I have knox or do not have knox. :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tetakpatak:
It seems to me like you're still knox-free :)

tetakpatalked from Nexus 7 flo
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheArtiszan:
Yup.

No Knox there.

You would see a Knox warranty line in that bootloader screen if you had it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jamessr79:
Cool, so it worked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jamessr79:
question

So what you are saying is if I flash a stock zip via custom recover no KNOX? Has this been tested? I removed knox on 4.3 but got crazy and tried 4.4.4 now random restarts.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
Yes, what I'm saying has been tested and confirmed 100%. There is no way to flash a KNOX-implemented bootloader (or ANY bootloader for that matter) via custom recovery. You seem to have the misconception that the KNOX apps within the ROM is what all the KNOX talk is about. If anything, it's only a small part. Now, I'm not absolutely certain of how this works as I've only followed the technical posts in the Development only forum regarding this for the first 10 or so pages, so if I say something that isn't exactly accurate, please forgive me. The basic gist is that when you hear about KNOX and why it's not necessarily wanted in the updated firmwares isn't because of a few user-removable apps; it's something at the hardware level that, when during the boot up tests and checks, it notices that there is a custom kernel or custom recovery in place instead of the expected stock kernel/recovery, it blows an e-fuse and forever after tells anyone who looks at the download mode that the device has been modified at one point or another.

About the random restarts, without knowing whether you updated from 4.3 to 4.4.4 via custom recovery or other official means, all I can say is to try a factory reset and/or use Odin to re-flash the firmware and do a factory reset after that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jamessr79:
Okay, I misunderstood on what you said could be flashed, but will have to take a look. Could you please point me in the right direction for that forum. As far as the misconception goes I do know that KNOX is in the bootloader. I also know that KNOX app/software is found in the rom as well. As for KNOX being in the rom Titanium Backup helps to remove most of it. Or I can just installing a custom rom that has it removed. The main reason that I had started this forum was to remove the KNOX from the bootloader. The reason I pointed to http://www.s4miniarchive.com/2013/12/how-to-remove-knox-bootloader-from-new.html in the first post is because they stated it could be done. After doing some other looking around and talking to others I tried it. Seems like it works on android 4.3, but 4.4.2 and 4.4.4. when I try to do the same it is not happy. I updated via Odin. The first time was 4.2 to 4.3 after modding the bootloader and not the rom. It works fine no KNOX lines in download mode. Still KNOX in the rom but uninstalled using Titanium Backup. Currently I am running android 4.3 on my Galaxy S4 no issues and as far as I can tell no KNOX.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JeepinxJosh:
Wait.... your on 4.3 or 4.2 and have been able to unlock the bootloader on them?? Everything you said above is exactly what I have seen and heard also with the addition that the signatures not matching verification checks are what is blowing the q fuse or what Knox and the Samsung / att security freak out about right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jamessr79:
I was on 4.2 and downloaded the stock 4.3 to my Linux pc. I then did what was stated on the s4 mini forums and was able to remove Knox from the bootloader, then the rom via titanium backup. Note as far as I know you can't remove Knox once it is already there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
How do you remove Knox from the bootloader?

I can see removing all Knox related apps from the rom, but the bootloader?

Please explain your process. ???

Pp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jamessr79:
I was running a none Knox bootloader t-mobile 4.2. And wanted to upgrade to 4.3 without having to deal with knox. So I followed the instructions for the s4 mini. And it worked. http://www.s4miniarchive.com/2013/12/how-to-remove-knox-bootloader-from-new.html?m=1 Them you root and remove Knox from the rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JeepinxJosh:
I'm glad you tried it. I was thinking to myself the other day.... if we can't trick it hack it or change it to unlock it, then why not bypass it and make it like it doesn't exist. If we could change the code so it doesn't check for the signatures it won't freak out when they don't match or they are missing... anyone think that might be a possible work around?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jamessr79:
Haven't heard of any work arounds. Lordcheeto03 made a interesting post #17 about flashing via custom recovery. NOTE must have pre-knox bootloader.

Hi Guys! once i tried to use a different rom adn flashed CM11 but there was no exSD support to move apps and i really need that support so if you guys know of any rom with that support lemme know

btw NamelessRom have Sview Support and i was wondering if that rom have that ExtSD support,

Thanks in advance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] dyandell:
Most if not all of the custom roms in this forum have that support but even if it does not there are several ways to fix the problem. It will take about two minutes to find several fixes if you search. The easiest I have found is download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount&hl=en. Launch the app, when it asks to reboot, let it. When it boots back up you will normally have access to your ext sdcard. You can even delete the app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] StJames9991:

Thanks as i told you i tried once and it didnt have that support so i gave up on Custom Roms. i will try and thanks again
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] dyandell:
Just make sure and do some research before you post a question. Don't forget that the people who you are asking have spent hours doing their own research. The devs have not only done a lot of their own research, they have spent a LOT of time building these roms. I cannot imagine the amount of time they donate to us building these roms for us to use.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kattywumpus:
You need to verify the APN(Access Point Name) configuration on your phone, in my experience this is normally the problem when switching ISP. Incorrectly configured APNs can cause all kinds of strangeness. In my case when I switch from T-Mobile to AT&T the AT&T rep entered the ANPs incorrectly. This cause speed issues, unable to text pictures and videos(MMS), and the phone had problem switching between towers while moving. A real pain. Once I got the APN correct my phone data performance was better then T-Mobile because AT&T cell tower coverage is much better in my area. Normally two APNs are need, one for 3G and other for 4G(APN type hipri). Also APN type of mms is for multiple media texting, Good luck.

[HTC One S] rythos42:
I've been trying to figure out how to remove the vast amount of Rogers bloatware on my phone.

I'm rooted. I initially used Titanium Backup to Uninstall all the stuff I didn't want. It came back. I used Bloatware Free to remove it, and it came back. TB and removed it from the Google Play Apps list, and it came back. I used TB and tried to see if it was being re-downloaded from somewhere, but it came back as soon as I rebooted. I used File Manager to do a search for other versions of the .apk files, but the only copies are those sitting in /system/app.

Does anyone have any ideas on where this stuff would be re-installed from? Or ideas on how to make it stop? Or...ideas on how to check the boot process to see when it's reinstalled? (maybe that last one is something to look into...) Or ideas on writing an on-boot script to delete it all? (last resort, I hope!)

And unfortunately Disabling" the app in Settings isn't good enough. I want it gone, I want the storage space back.
[HTC One S] Flippy498:
let me guess, you're s-on, right?

for being able to delete/uninstall system apps permanently you either need to get s-off or to flash a kernel that disables the write-protection for /system/app. since i s-offed my phone directly after i had unlocked my bootloader i don't know which kernel provides the features you need. for getting s-off you can use one of the intrustictions in the developement section (e.g. rumrunner, firewater, moonshine or facepalm). some of them might not work on the first try. just give them multiple chances.
[HTC One S] rythos42:
Big thanks for the tip! That was exactly the problem.

I can't post in the development section to help those people in a similar situation (a few folks with my phone were asking about how to make this work), but here's what I did:

Firewater didn't work after 2 tries, and it was scaring me and turning off my phone and not letting me turn it back on again immediately. So I stopped doing that.

Moonshine I didn't try because it didn't have a version specific to my setup. (see below)

Facepalm asked me to get superCID where the other programs didn't, so I didn't try it.

Rumrunner (http://rumrunner.us/) worked perfectly after spewing out a billion messages that looked like errors.

Here's the correct output of Rumrunner, so you know what's going on: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47896085&postcount=424

I'm on Rogers in Canada, hboot 2.15.000, software version 3.16.631.9. Those are important numbers to know when looking for an s-off solution.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heather1209:
I've got a potentially interesting issue here. I'm using Tasker to automatically copy my screenshots from the internal storage to my memory card with the cp shell command:

cp /storage/emulated/0/Pictures/Screenshots/* /storage/ext_sd/Pictures/Screenshots

It works perfectly and I can open the pictures in the memory card from a file manager (I use ES File Explorer, though I doubt that's relevant).

However, the stock Gallery app won't show them. It shows the broken image file graphic of the grey landscape. Rebooting does not make a difference (fast boot is off).

Here's the really interestsing part: if I go into the file explorer and manually move the images from the memory card folder to any other folder and then right back to the same folder, the Gallery app sees the pictures! But that clearly defeats the purpose of automation I was attempting to acheive with Tasker.

Why is this happening and how can I avoid it?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clyzm:
I've had my Note 3 since June of 2013, and either my battery is starting to go, or I have some wear issues somewhere.

I'm currently using the S5 port rom along with the compulsion kernel, but the situation was similar on stock and other roms.

Basically, I get about 2-3 hours of screen time over the course of 20-25 hours of total battery time per charge. I charge it with a tablet charger every night before I go to bed. Apps wise, I have the usual suspects such as Facebook, its messenger app, flickr, fancy widgets for a weather widget, Blue Mail for e-mail. That's about the only stuff that connects to the internet, and all of its syncing is either set to manual or 2 hours. My battery stats consistently have my screen up at the top by a wide margin (~40% with Android System in second place with 15%).

All in all, I use it pretty conservatively, and I see some pretty crazy numbers coming out of other Note 3 users. It makes me feel like my battery is worn out.

Any advice? Should I go order a new battery?

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 404-Not Found:
Yup, it should install to internal storage first. Click the add button and select where the obb files are in and then select the destination at where you want them (should be in: /storage/extSDcard/Android/obb/). The app will then move the files to the destination and trick the tab that they are in the internal storage. If you cant install Foldermount, try to delete cache and if that doesn't work remove any apps you dont use. System apps can be turned off and you will gain some space in return. Move as many apps to sdcard using the Settings app. If you still can't do it, I suggest you:

1) Backup Apps and Data

2) Remove Apps

3) Install apps with large obb files

4) Move data using foldermount

5) Reinstall apps you removed with the space you have left.

6) ????

7) Profit

You may noticed that settings will go crazy saying you have used more storage than you have available (example: 12 out 8 GB used). Don't worry about that, it shouldnt affect you at all

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
What model is your device? Can you copy/paste the text from Odin? What firmware were you attempting to flash? What was the last firmware build you updated to?

There's a good chance you just need to flash the right modem. Open terminal emulator and enter this,

getprop ro.bootloader

What it returns is your current base firmware/bootloader build. Flash the same modem.

I could also be helpful to flash the full firmware with Odin. If you have kies installed on your computer, get rid of it. It interferes with Odin. Also try different USB cables and ports.

If the modem and/or firmware flash doesn't help, PM me and I will help you restore the imei, which should also fix your other problems as well.
