How do I check that my bootloader is still MDL?

Because it really seemed like from flashing this rom in recovery that I lost MDL..

I'm still on the first boot..

Edit:

Yes sir recovery is fsck'd..

Flashed twrp correctly..

reboot recovery

Could not do normal boot

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I337

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Custom

KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0

KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1 (this used to be 0x0 before this zip..)

CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30

WRITE PROTECTION: Enable

eMMC BURST MODE: enabled

And sitting in Download..

rebooting dumps back here again.. can flash the kernel and boot; Nothing else.

Trying to flash MDL ODIN Image also failing..

LAME..

Is this a one way trip to NJ4?

Seriously?

And no wifi?

forbidinjustice - do a PSA and put DON'T FLASH THIS SHEET IF YOU WANT TO KEEP MDL IN YOUR OP.

KISS YOUR MDL GOODBYE..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] beast3300:
Yeah I know.... I'm now a safe strap user. Wi-Fi works if you flash KISS, then stock NJ4 kernel.

I was angry beyond measure, until I ordered a T-Mobile M919 yesterday from Swappa. Custom kernels and anything I please coming soon!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DBak451:
If you download Phone INFO Samsung. Run that, what does your Bootloader Version say?

Also to those stuck in download mode (and for the record I am no expert, so I'm not responsible for messing things up worse for you), I followed some bad instructions and got stuck booting into Download Mode, and what it took for me was to find the Pit file for my phone, SGH-I545, and I even had issues trying to flash that in ODIN, I switched from my Windows 8 computer to a Windows 7 machine and also tried a different cable (not sure which was causing the issue) and was able to repartiton my phone, it booted up and I was still on MDK afterwards (Verizon's equivalent of MDL). I don't know if that is even possible for any of you, with having flashed the updated Kernel, but it's an idea, if anyone still stuck cares to see if it works.

PS- Doing more reading about PIT files and how they work (or don't work), I have honestly no idea if this could do anything for you, and you risk bricking your phone, so tread carefully should anyone try messing with this. I'm not trying to pass bad information, just throwing out an idea for those daring enough to see if it goes anywhere good. Do your reading before trying it, cause as I said, I'm no expert.

Thought this was for AT&T l337 not a l545. It in SGH-i337 forum!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DBak451:
No, ya think? Why do you think i mentioned MDL? I was looking at ROMs for my friend's MDL S4 and stumbled across the problems people were having here and explained what I did for my MDK S4 to recover from a non-booting state without losing the exploitable bootloader. And since we all have the Galaxy s4, it is possible that what I did could work to fix an I337 using the appropriate files. Nowhere did I tell people to use files for the SGH-I545 to try and fix their I337.

Forgive me for trying to help. Maybe you should work on your reading and logic skills before coming on here with your keyboard crusader attitude, tough guy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tailgunner9:
Why mention your pit file for i545 then on your phone here?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DBak451:
Because I was explaining what I did for MY phone. The process for the 337 would be exactly the same, just using the pit file for the 337. I wasn't writing a tutorial and posting files, anyone with a clue would obviously be able to tell that they would need the pit file for their S4 variant. I was simply posting an idea that could possibly help someone. I'm posting in a developers forum, so I'm assuming the people I'm talking to are bright enough to know what I meant by my post, it was quite clear, but based on your responses, maybe I'm giving people too much credit.

Maybe you shouldn't be messing around with modifying your phone, your total lack of reading comprehension skills lead me to believe you'll just wind up getting yourself into trouble.

I don't know why I'm even wasting time explaining myself to you, when you're clearly just an ungrateful person who just wants to prove a point that has no grounding.

Have a nice day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tailgunner9:

Hey I am a galaxy noob im used to motorola. I have been reading on flashing galaxy s4 roms and everybody keeps bringing up TRIPPING FLASH COUNTERS. I have read about triangle away. So if I flash this rom will it trip the counter and if so will triangle away work to reset it? Thanks in advance :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] burgertime78:
If I'm on NC1, does that preclude me from this rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] beast3300:
No, you can use this ROM. You will have to flash the NJ4 kernel before or after installing this ROM or the phone won't boot. (Kernel flash in download mode and Odin)

Then future ROM flashes you do will need NJ4 modules (if the ROM is a different base). This ROM has the NJ4 modules already.

I337 on MDL. What is the proper SafeStrap recovery to install before I push this ROM? The last thing I want to do is brick this device trying to get a recovery to take.

I'm not sure if the bootloader is still unlocked so I don't want to push TWRP again without being positive. I always ran a custom ROM on this phone and then I re-partitioned, re-rooted, and installed MDL all over again... and now I have no idea. adb isn't finding the device for some reason so I can't check bootloader status. One huge headache.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
If you are a Loki user instead of safestrap. Stay away from both of the devs roms. They include NJ4 bootloaders.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] beast3300:
I hope you didn't flash this ROM. If so, then you MDL bootloader is gone.

Sent from my M919 S4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] forbidinjustice:
I didn't flash anything yet. The phone is currently rooted/unlocked/AWS unlocked on MDL 4.2.2. My goal is to get this device on a stock rooted debloated 4.4.4 ROM. That's really all. (It's my mum's phone... so I don't need it custom for me.) I just need the Android version upgraded. No recovery on phone currently.

What would you recommend? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
Go with ib's nj4 rom then, solid and fits your bill.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] forbidinjustice:
What should I flash as far as a recovery before I push the ROM? Also, do I need to flash a kernel afterward?

The ROM was what I had pretty much decided already... I just stopped because I couldn't figure out which version of SafeStrap to install because I don't have a custom recovery. Unsure if bootloader is locked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
Most folks seem to stick with twrp.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] forbidinjustice:
I'm a TWRP user generally, and used to have it on that device as well. I heard if the bootloader is locked and you try to flash TWRP, you can brick the device. That's why I was being cautious.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] beast3300:
Good!!! I flashed this ROM and couldn't deal with Safestrap. I bought a used T mobile S4. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=58428598

Flash a newer twrp. Flash iB's ROM and leave the baseband. His ROM package will have an appropriate kernel to choose from. Best part is that you will stool be on MDL bootloader.

Sent from my M919 S4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] forbidinjustice:
Thank you! I'll flash TWRP via ODIN... hopefully it'll take with no problems, then the T-Mobile version of iB's ROM as shown (since we're on T-Mo service) http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-tmob...-t3009561/post58342374?nocache=1#post58342374

Do you have a kernel preference?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] beast3300:
Yes!!! That ROM will have Wi-Fi calling for T-mobile. Adam kernel is very close to stock and gives great battery life. Nothing to mess with when you use that kernel.

Bell Canada modem version

I've been doing a fair bit of research and keep ending up confused...

Given that I have an i337m (Bell Canada), what modem version should I have installed to run a 4.4.4 rom? Last time I tried (MD rom) , I had major connectivity issues.

This is assuming this rom works with Canadian carriers.

I've been installing custom roms for years but am new to the modem issue, so thanks in advance if you can help out!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] beast3300:
This ROM will mess up your phone. It flashes bootloaders and things like that. Try a different ROM.

Sent from my M919 S4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] forbidinjustice:
Hello, I did what you advised... installed the ROM, (Adam kernel didn't even pop up so I installed the first one on the list), then had to Loki Doki to get rid of the AT&T unauthorised software message... I'm in the ROM just fine but my T-Mobile SIM isn't being recognised, no service. It's like I'm no longer unlocked. But to unlock, it seems I have to be on the STOCK firmware...

Where should I go from here?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
If you were on MDL and had the capability to flash Roms without safestrap, you no longer do now. As the last few posts show, the "dev" left the bootloaders in and has screwed over a few phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jpcdeux:
OP sure reads like its an at&t ROM. So if phones get screwed over who's fault would that be? All the Dev did was deodex, debloat and add a couple apps. Nothing more, nothing less.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] drew.eldeen:
Hi,

I recently got a new Z Ultra GPe as a replacement to my old one. I had OS version 5.0.1 before but the replacement I received is 4.4 and tells me that my phone is up to date. I expected I would get updates but that doesn't seem to be the case. Does anyone know if the OTA updates are still around and if I should be getting them by the normal method (rather then having to manually sideload)? For my needs I'm ok with a the non-rooted stock experience so I don't really want to deviate from that (and I don't really want to void my warranty as I have had to rely on that already). Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I looks like the OTA was pulled (well no longer being pushed) just before Christmas. The 5.0.1 is a little buggy so I would stay on 4.4.4.

Also note that there is no safe way to revert to 4.4.x from 5.0.x unless you root on 4.4.4 and back up the TA.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] drew.eldeen:
Thanks, but I have 4.4 and not 4.4.4. Version 4.4 is super buggy and basically not usable. 5.0.1 was very usable in my opinion. If I can get from 4.4 to 4.4.4 that would be a great place to start. If I remember correctly there were three updates to get from 4.4 to 4.4.4.

If the OTAs are pulled, then why are phones with 4.4 being released into the users hands? I'll have to talk to google support about this. Is anyone else in the same boat I am?

Is only the 4.4.2 OTA not being pushed, or are all Z Ultra GPe updates not being pushed?

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I'm not sure what ones aren't being pushed any more, but they were all still being pushed just before christmass. You could put 4.4.2 on a SD card and flash that from recovery and see if the 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 OTAs arrive, if not they are archived in the GPe section and I have copies here as well.

Either way I would root 4.4.4 and do a TA backup, it will give you many more options if you ever need to roll back for any reason.

Bugs of note on 5 are:

memory leak

some wifi issues for some users

I have micro hangs (may well be from the memory leak)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] drew.eldeen:
OK. Thanks. I am going to do the process here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2761698 (different method but same result) to get to 4.4.2 and see what happens.

Be careful messing with radio's, that's one thing if you get wrong will kill your phone forever, you must have a 4G enabled phone (M7_UL) have a look for this in the bootloader and also a 4G enabled sim, your network provider will provide you with one if your paying for a 4G service.

Just bought a Surge, which works perfectly with my iPhone. However, my Android phone of choice, the M8 is unable to receive call/text notifications, which pretty much defeats the purpose of the Surge.

Looking at their compatibility chart, it would seem that our M8 needs to have Lollipop in order for this to work, where other phones do not. I don't really get why. Samsung and LG phones have some kind of Bluetooth support that stock Android doesn't? Anyway, even though it's Dev edition, I don't plan to upgrade my M8 any time soon.
