[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] onearmsysiphus:
Hi friends,

Specs:

SCH-I545

Android 4.2.2

Baseband: I545VRUAMDK

Build Number: JDQ39.I545VRUAMDK

Rooted

I have a (what seems to be rare) rooted, stock ROM MDK Galaxy S4 running 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean?). Is there a way to update to Kit Kat (and keep root and my MDK status) so I can play with some of the ROMs I see? I know there are ROMs that apply a Kit Kat update (Hyperdrive RLS16 for ex) and I've tried flashing that, but I can't get any other ROMs to stick after that (Like CyanogenMod Nightlies... can't get that to take. What am I doing wrong??), and sadly there's some little glitches in Hyperdrive that are frustrating to me, so sticking with it is not something I want to do at this point.

I feel like I might get burned for asking this but I'm trying to approach this as methodically as possible and I can't seem to find, even with a good amount of searching through the Verizon G S4 forums, a straightforward explanation of how to do this, or if it's even possible. Am I approaching this in the wrong way or asking the wrong questions?? If so, can someone offer a simple explanation of why what I'm asking is not possible, or (more preferably) how I can approach it another way to get my Android Version updated but not lose root or the versatility that comes with managing to maintain my MDK status?

Thank you all for your help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RJV3:
I'm not too familiar with aosp roms, but hyperdrive was my daily driver before moving on to the note 4. I last updated to hyperdrive rls 18.1 and it had been good to me. Rls 19 is having mixed reviews and never updated my phone to that version because if some minor glitches. I strongly recommend Rls 18.1. I had no issues with my mdk gs4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scrillakev:
What recovery are you using? Clockwork or TWRP? What do you mean by the ROM isn't sticking? Are you getting stuck on a boot screen?

I'm using TWRP and flashed the Google Play Edition ROM which is on 4.4.4 Kitkat with root, I'm still on an MDK bootloader also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] onearmsysiphus:
OK, I'll keep that in mind, and thanks for the recommendation.

Any other thoughts on my questions about updating to 4.4.2?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] onearmsysiphus:
To SkrillaKev - I'm using TWRP. I mean that after I flash Hyperdrive, I'm unable to get any other ROM to flash. It will fail in recovery (Eclipse) or will get stuck on the load screen (as with CynogenMod Nightlies)

I guess an easier question is - Can I flash any custom ROM that is made for 4.4.4 when I'm running 4.2.2??

I'll give the Google Edition ROM a go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] onearmsysiphus:
Welp.... I wiped system/cache/dalvik and tried flashing Google Play Edition. got a yellow triangle and the message about having software not approved by Verizon and please report to the nearest Verizon store for bar-code tattooing and sterilization lol

Then I re-wiped sytem/cache/dalvik and tried flashing EclipseTW-S4-v4.0.2-KitKatNC5. Now I'm stuck on a boot screen...

At least when I screw something up I screw it up REALLY good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
You got the yellow triangle and message because you have to flash the Loki zip after flashing the ROM . ...here ya go https://www.dropbox.com/s/3m3wclsx6ryynhg/loki-doki.zip?dl=0

Many thanks!! I knew I was missing something but didn't have time to get back to that thread before I left work for the day. I'll give that a shot right meow
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
No prob... Also I'd let it sit after flashing. You may have to select the correct APN: "Verizon Internet " and change mobile network to "LTE/ CDMA" and reboot. Should stick after that.

Keep MDK!!!! After you flash a ROM. If it gets hung up on boot, hold volume up, home key and power key until the phone resets. Then let it boot up. Don't know why it happens but I have the same problem from time to time and rebooting seems to fix it. I've been using eclipse for 4or5 months now. It's pretty sick

InUh

you just have to make sure you have. Loki enabled recovery and you can pretty much flash anything here most of the roms have an MDKprocedure and all the information is still here for the old bootloader it is just not as common so you will have to look and older discussions as in not the first page there are several pages to each one of these sections if you look at the you can read through all the pages..the threads are organized in the latest they have been posted in so all your information is going to be considered old school until you get educated and then you just pop right into the current roms..I still have an s4 MKD 32...I gave to my significant because I refused to send it in on a trade and for my m8 upgrade on edge...btw I prefer phil recovery latest edition go to the phil thread and read toward the end and you'll find a link to his current inside the recovery in settings you can toggle Loki. Just leave it on.then it is just like any other unlocked phone.....and never flashed anything into this phone using ODIN unless its MDK ...or the latest radios... make sure you do your homework on whatever you are going to flash and Odin because it very well could contain a later bootloader and completely screw you. and the great thing is that we and other like us on MDK are the only ones that get to play with anything in the original development section....and in case you didn't know safestrap is for locked bootloaders not uswell technically we are still locked but Loki is the key. And that key only works on MDK bootloader.....and I'm sorry but I used hyperdrive before and the old lady that is now on the latest more than likely your problems with hyperdrive stem from not having flash the kernel properly in the proper recovery and not having the latest radios flashed to your device.

moderators please move to Q&A
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Beakhole:
I have two suggestions:

First, make sure you flash the loki-doki.zip RIGHT AFTER you flash a new ROM in your zip queue, just like what was suggested previously.

Second, in case anything goes wrong, you should always have a current NANDROID backup first and this emergency wipe TAR on hand for Odin. There have been 4 separate times, in the span of about a week, that I gave myself the unauthorized software screen, and had to do this. So I would emergency wipe back to stock MDK, re-root, use Rashr to flash TWRP 2.7.1.0, and then I'd restore my NANDROID backup from my sd card. Rashr only works for flashing TWRP because only TWRP in that app is already Loki'd.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Htimez2:
I'm still using RSL7 and it works great with no glitches I tried the newest one rsl20 and hated its look and didnt like any off the new features so i went back to RSL7, if you have not tried it you may want to, it is very different from RSL20 and imo way better.
[AT&T LG G2] JJHunterx:
Has anyone experienced any issue with the Preferred Network Type not saving? Every time I reboot my phone, I have to manually select LTE as it has reverted back to 3G after the reboot.

I also have an issue with Android OS taking up a huge % of battery, keep awake time basically the entire time the phone is on, but only 10mins of CPU time.

I am running CM11 Snapshot 6 with the modded KK baseband and TWRP recovery.
[AT&T LG G2] JJHunterx:
Decided to revert back to stock rooted rom. Seemed to fix all of the issues. The wakelock was caused buy Bluetooth being on.

Has anyone figured out the keyboard issue with the 1.4x rom versions? I searched here and at pdaphonehome and there were a few posts mentioning problems with the keyboard but no resolution. The issue for those that are not aware is the hardware keyboard will stop working and a soft reset brings it back alive. I have noticed that mine will sometimes come back on its own without a reset. I would love to fix this without going back to an older rom version. I am using the 1.42 cingular beta from the sx66 standardization website.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodbyeSky:
I sideloaded the OTA from stock configuration about 2 weeks ago, and since have experienced random freezes about 5-6 times.

At first I thought the phone was actually just randomly shutting down on its own since I couldn't turn the screen on, but then I noticed that the notification light was blinking (not red). Also my battery stats show the weirdest thing when this happens -- battery is not discharging, and everything is inactive except for wi-fi. Screenshots below.

Every time this has happened has been after a period of inactivity (after I've put it down for more than 30-40 min). I've experienced no other problems besides this so far.

Has anybody experienced this? Do you think a factory reset would help?

I am looking for a secondary ROM for MultiROM but Lollipop-based roms seem to freeze if they are not primary.

What is the most feature-rich, stable and battery-sipping ROM out there for Nexus 5 running 4.4.4?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayRokk:
There is no best ROM. Read the rules. These kind of post aren't allowed regardless of how you word them.

Flash all the 4.4 Roms, try them out and decide for yourself. Not everyone likes what you like, or has a set up like yours. Decide for yourself.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Unfortunately, the admin team have decided they are allowed. That's why I'll post my answer which I keep in ever note:

"Best" ROM.

There is no such thing as a best ROM.* The question itself is*ambiguous.* "Best" is obviously a subjective term.

What I want from a ROM may well differ from what you want from a ROM,*ergo - what is best for me could be worst for you.

If you are asking what the most popular ROMs are, or which ROMs people*are using, you can see which threads stay around on the first few*pages (and have the most posts) in the*Android*Development or*Original*Android Development forums. You can also see what other people*are running by reading the*What*are you running on your Nexus 5 thread.

If you are asking which is the most stable, being a Nexus device -*they're all pretty stable.

If you are asking which is best on Battery, ROMs only affect battery*if they have a feature that is badly coded.* You will likely be able*to read about this in the ROM threads.* ROMs do not impact battery*life.* The only impact to battery life are your apps, your settings,*how you use the phone and mostly, environmental issues such as Phone*Signal.

For tips about improving battery life, please read*[Battery*Life Help] Troubleshoot battery issues here!

"Best" Kernel

Also, please note that as above, "best" is still subjective.* What we*all want from a kernel is different. Again, many people have the*misconception that Kernels affect battery life.* Let's get this*cleared up.* Although Kernel devs will build in optimisations and*efficiencies that will improve battery life, these are very, VERY*tiny...and if 1 kernel has these optimisations, they likely all have.

People will often say "Kernel x is better than kernel y for battery*life".* This is actually wrong. *Kernels respond to user settings.*Setting up the governor to favour either battery life or performance*is simple enough to do, you just have to do some learning.* The reason*people think Kernel x is better than y is because developers set their*kernels up with their preferred governor settings.* This is what we*refer to as out-of-the-box settings.* The out-of-the-box settings for*kernel x may well produce better battery results than the*out-of-the-box settings for kernel y, which favour performance.* The*fact is, you as the user have the ability to tune kernel x or y to*perform the same, be that battery or performance - so start learning*how to do this yourselves - that way, you can choose the kernel based*on the FEATURES you want, and not the fictional performance benefits*of one kernel over another.

Hope this helps
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pain-N-Panic:
I'll play along and throw out a suggestion...my all time favorite ROM (notice I said favorite not BEST) is dirty unicorns which has a 4.4.4 version. Its full of awesome aosp features.

Flashing Firmware and Modem won't erase any data, correct? Do we know of any specific benefits of the new firmware and modem? I know they are usually better but anyone familiar? Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] i5lee8bit:
Shouldn't erase any data. If you flash the full tar file, it'll wipe you. That's for flashing to stock. Just updating bootloader and modem shouldn't erase anything (unless you do something dumb).

New firmware (if you mean bootloader) really doesn't do much but some ROMs (mostly stock ones) make sure your bootloader is a certain version. We're on T-Mobile so there isn't much to worry about since their bootloaders are unlocked to begin with so far.

New modems usually incorporate fixes and what not, but it's really YMMV. I usually go with the latest and if it seems worse I would just go back. I've never had to do this before though. I either don't notice much change at all, or at least know it's not going backwards. As far as my experiences with T-Mo HTC HD2 on AT&T, AT&T S3, and T-Mo S5. =)

BTW, I'm on AT&T LTE with G900T.
