Having some problems playing video content running Metro Megakat V45X. I cannot get past the spinning circle with Netflix. I also get blank screens but do have sound on Comcast to Go and Hulu, and also Facebook videos don't play . YouTube videos play fine. Anybody run into this, too?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] thechopster:
Which Xposed module fixed the Netflix error?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Christogq:
hi guys. anybody have any issue with the wifi switch not working?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Zeuszoos:
I remember a long time ago I did. I started using a widget. It worked. Then, after a while I forgot one day and did it the normal way and it worked and kept working.

Could've been an app I had, that I later uninstalled, interfering with it?

Anyway, the funny think is, that I started liking the widget and installed "Power Toggles" (Free & Ad-Free), which let's you add multiple widgets up to 8 items across for all the important switches and even lets you add in apps. :)

Anyway, weird stuff happens! Betcha one day it just starts working for ya. But in the mean time, I think a widget will fix ya right up (a WiFi switch)!

I'm having a weird problem of my own right now. When I enable GPS "High Accuracy" mode in Locations, it stays on for about a minute or two and then toggles back to using WiFi & Cell (Power Saving). It even happens standing outside (inside I could understand).

I do not have the phone's Power Saving feature enabled.

My wife works late at night and so I like to know that I can track her phone if I ever need to, but I obviously need to have GPS working for this to happen.

I'm using the latest MegaKat, V45, I think it is.

I did trim it down a bit. I highly doubt I took out anything GPS related, but are there any files I should verify exist (names and locations)?

Ever hear of this weird problem???
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mands386:
Mom is having the same problem can't seem to find a solution
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Zeuszoos:
Mega,

I need to download the latest Metro MegaKat ROM again, which is now V45, right?

But when I follow the links to get to the Google Drive link for it:

http://tinyurl.com/hcfce9u

I get a "404 Not Found" error.

In trimming the ROM back even more, it all went well, but when I went to run "VPNSecure" (Lifetime Subscription), which was working, it gave me a "Your image does not support VPN... etc.".

I must have messed up and somehow blew out the phone's VPN support files and now I need to get them back in there. But since I don't know which exact file names they are, I can only Google generally and all I get results for, is VPN apps to install.

Is there another link I can use to get the latest MegaKat for my Metro Mega?

Or do you happen to know which files I might be missing? Or maybe you have it/them and can PM, or email me? It can't be more than 1 or 2 actual files.

Everything else is working beautifully after my "trimming". It's only the VPN that won't work and there must be a System file or two that came with the phone (and your ROM, hopefully) that VPN apps count on being there that are now missing. If I knew what they were called, then maybe I could find them myself.

Worse case, reinstalling your ROM should fix it???

Thanks! :)

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Zeuszoos:
Mega,

Okay, never mind. I tried the link again and it worked.

I guess the 4th time is the charm. :)

I found two "VPN" files in the ROM after extracting it.

I placed them where the ROM had them and now

my VPN app works again! The files are:

VpnClient.apk ---> /system/app

VpnDialogs.apk ---> /system/priv-app

Then set your Permissions (just match the other ones).

Just in case anyone else needs to know it.

Take Care!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Zeuszoos:
Hi,

Okay, I've got some really weird crap going on!!!

Yesterday, my phone just started wigging out! Hard!!! Everything was giving me "Close" boxes. Stuff just stopped working. I couldn't run anything without it erroring out.

I tried restoring from a backup, but no help. I tried Wipe/Factory Reset, but the apps that it does have after that, were still exhibiting the same behavior. Plus, another problem was that anything I would put on my Ext SD Card would save, but then when I rebooted, would disappear. This also started yesterday.

Anyway, a very long story (12 hours of working on it) a little shorter, even though doing a Factory Reset and then the MegaKat ROM V45 didn't work, I did finally get that to take, I wiped, then installed the MegaKat Zip, then rerooted and it has finally worked! I will have to set everything up again, but at least it's running.

But one problem remains and that's the problem of anything I write to the Ext SD Card will write and stay there, until I reboot. Then it disappears. My Ext SD Card was patched a long time ago and if it couldn't be written to, then it wouldn't allow the write in the first place. But I ran th patch again just in case and it said "No Action Necessary", so it's good.

I did run an Avast Anti-Virus scan too, just FYI.

Does anyone have any idea at all what the heck is going on??? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Zeuszoos:
Hi,

Does anyone have the PhilZ Recovery for this ROM? I'm having an issue and I need to try reflashing it.

Zip is preferable of course, whatever someone has is appreciated!

Thank You!

Hi,

Btw, solved the other, weird issue. It was my Ext SD Card. It crapped out. Dead. But weirdly, I could still read it. I replaced it.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Zeuszoos:
Hi,

Does anyone know; has there been a Lollipop ROM made available for this phone? Maybe a MegaKat ROM? :)

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Mega doesn't perus these forums much anymore.

Never found an apt replacement for this big phone.

Maybe this may be an option

Actually there is 1 thing I'm needed. Do you still have the zip or apk for whichever playstore we need? I used to have it but can't find it anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Zeuszoos:
It's been a long time, but when people were having trouble because the Instructions were lacking and the person who started the thread didn't give a crap, I took it upon myself to write up a complete, very detailed, step by step set of instructions. I would assume anything you might need is there. Use this link:

Steps: http://tinyurl.com/gwuv3w7

If a "get it here" link isn't working, just let me know.

Once you get all settled in, I would recommend that you install the MegaKat ROM (or FireKat, if it's available by the same Dev).

I ran MegaKat on mine and my wife has it now.

Lighter, faster and extremely stable!

Hell at this point I can't remember what it says tbh lol...long as you downloaded the unrooted build or bnb mirror you're good...yea dude welcome to kit kat sd lockouts...are you trying to stored/write app data to the sd by chance? What app are you trying to use sd with others may have similar issues...but you guys also have even more issues with sd being 4.4.4 and knox secure lockouts...i thought I removed them all tho but idk not getting to flash it myself I can't be 100%

I keep getting signature errors trying to install via SD card.

I am using Team Win's TWRP recovery.

I was on stock 4.4.4 before attempting install.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
Use Philz

---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 AM ----------

:eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] berry_lthird:
Thanks! Philz worked, but now it seems to be stuck on the Metro PCS bootup splash screen (past 20 minutes without change).
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
I don't know what you were doing, but pull the battery and start again.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] berry_lthird:
Tried it again: Pulled battery. Wiped system and caches. Def locked. I think I accidentally selected root the first time. Bummer!

FWIW: When I flash, it skips the MD5 check. Also, when it's done, it just says "result is [/system]".

Going to try flashing back to stock then starting all over.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
use the odin version of philz. not the zip version.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] berry_lthird:
If Odin version is the tar.md5 file then yes. Flashed using Odin 3.10 on my PC. Everything reported working fine.

---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 PM ----------

I can't get stock to flash either. Unfortunately, Kies no longer recognizes the device.

Should the .ZIP file pass MD5 checksum and signature before flashing? Neither has passed on any attempt. As I'm flashing, it reads that the footer is wrong.

Also, I am using the latest Odin and Philz recovery. Is there a specific version I should be using instead?

I haven't been at this sort of thing for a very looooong time......I feel like such a n00b! :p
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Sorry I'm trying to catch up but I'm lost...are you having trouble flashing the stock rom with odin to get your mega to 4.4.4 stock kit kat? Or are you having a flashing issue in Philz when flash megakat metro v2?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] berry_lthird:
The latter.....I'm having a flashing issue in Philz when trying to flash MegaKat Metro V2.

I just used terminal on my Mac to confirm the MD5 checksum of the MegaKat Metro V2 .ZIP file I'm trying to flash, but in Philz it doesn't pass MD5 checksum.

Side question: I have the stock ROM as a .ZIP file. Can I use Odin to flash that? Sorry for being a total n00b at this. :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
My guess is the base 4.4.4 rom hasn't flashed properly which is why you're getting weird errors...i would flash stock 4.4.4 kit kat again first before anything else...then odin flash root...odin flash philz...and then flash megakat...i honestly have no idea because I built this rom blind and have no way to test anything...bnb knows what's up he's got it up and running so follow his lead on this particular issue. ..but I'd def download a new odin as some older odin'd don't properly flash 4.4 bootloaders. ..this has been the most common issue across the 37 or 38 devices i have kit kat builds for coming from jelly bean builds

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
where did you get the stockROM zip?

use the odin I linked below.

1. flash Metro's stock firemware. when you open odin uncheck "autoreboot" and "F. Reset Time" once odin flashes the firmware, unplug the phone then pull the battery, put the battery back in and let it boot into the rom.

2. with philz do the same steps as you did with firmware. this time us the 3 key combo to get into recovery. make a backup, then reboot, when it asks to root go with yes. let it boot into the rom. download superSU go into the app let it disable knox. then go back into recovery.

3. now that you are back into recovery. go to wipe data/ factory reset, select "Clean to Install A New ROM" let it do its thing.

4. flash Metro Megakat. Again once it flashes Metro Mega, when you reboot it should ask you to root, select to root. then install SuperSU app. you should now be fully rooted.

Metro's stock firmware, flash it with odin. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4kEgjurpDOLdVIzbm55MFNNZDg/view?usp=sharing

philz touch wiz flash in odin: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4kEgjurpDOLWUlya0FTZEg5c00/view?usp=sharing

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] berry_lthird:
BINGO! I See what I was doing wrong now! I was using the 3G version of Philz instead of the LTE version. Thanks!

I think I'll wait for the rooted version (hopefully v6) of Metro MegaKat before trying again. I just got stock back going as per [MENTION=5451734]megalomanic14[/MENTION].

Thanks everyone for all your help!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] berry_lthird:
Ok, so I went ahead and installed v1 successfully. Also, I was able to root V1 of this ROM using the link to Philz recovery provided by bnb25 above.

Once installed, I saw that SuperUser was available. It wouldn't run, and advised me to re-root the device. So I rebooted into Philz recovery (Power off, then Vol+, Home & Power) and chose Philz Settings from the menu. From there I chose Re-root System (SuperSU). Once I did that, Philz advised me to download Chainfire's SuperSU from the Google Play Store. I rebooted, downloaded SuperSU, and ran it. I allowed SuperSU to update its binaries, and BAM! Rooted.

I downloaded a root verification tool just to be sure and it verified root access.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
yeah root seems to be a little buggy with Merto pcs kitkat.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Make sure the root is done with a CLEAN INSTALL. If you do not fully wipe everything and do a CLEAN install you will have issues.

I literally wiped everything and install 444 and then rooted. This is the buggiest build os ever!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Mk no good? I though bnb said it was running fast without any issues? What's up with it?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
no not your ROM. We are talking about Metro pcs firmware. It doesn't seem to like to play well with root.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Oh ok yea that makes sense...there's a ton of weird issues with it...thankfully I came up with a method of voiding knox in the system in my last n4 update which I'm building the hacks into the next mk metro build and should remove all metro/4.4.4 weirdness

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
cool, can't wait.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
This is the worst build I have ever seen on a phone. Very buggy as stock.

Your build is NOT the issue heh heh
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
That stock metro 4.4.4 build is the most locked down android build I've ever seen outside of a locked bootloader...honestly it has more knox traps than the megakat roms and my note 3 kk roms combined...Knox was in sys/apps, data/lib, sys/priv apps, 2 build prop links to xml and so files, framework, a secure storage knox lock which is the first I've ever seen and knox boot/kernel encryption...unreal amount of lockouts no wonder it's a mess

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
It's a metro pcs thing. From what I've seen they are having all their phones heavily locked. I can't even use Firefox on it. They are blocking it for some reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Does the rom have any of these stock issues left over that I should try an address? These new mods should basically break any metro locks but before I start uploading it worth the inquiry?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
well I think most of it had to do with knox and that. I know the firefox issue has to do with their tethering block. for some reason their system reads firefox for android as a tethered browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Uploading megakat metro V6...will post later on...new features/changes

Completely removed all sd lockouts

Completely removed all knox not only apks but all running knox protocols/security provisions

Boosted sound at the system level...not a volume mod...really boosts the sound quality adjusting the gain properly and tweaking the audio codec

Removed all data logging by the system...no more mining and running background apps uneccesarily

Super fast rendering and performance

Net speed and browser rendering optimizations

*Basically like the new megakat v14...this build is running 1:1 with my note 3...just as fluid smooth and fast with the same killer battery life without all the annoying kk 4.4.4/metro issues ...will post later

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
Awesome!!!

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] berry_lthird:
General question: Is it best to flash back to stock before upgrading to MegaKat? In other words, should I be able to flash directly from v1 to v6?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
You should be able to...but with metro it's hard telling man. ..you can try flashing it strait to v6...if you have any weirdness or issues just run the odin stock then re flash v6 clean...or just odin stock first and make sure it's all done properly the first flash to save time in case

Mega
