USB not working?

So I got everything to work. I'll have some screenshots attached to this post. I can't seem to get my PC to recognize it as a drive though. Am I completely overlooking something? I had to use a seperate program to upload the screenshots from my phone to the web because I couldn't take them from my phone to my PC. I booted into download mode to make sure Odin 3.09 recognized it, and it did. It even shows up in my devices on my PC. Hopefully my issue is just me being dumb on my part. :P

Imgur album of some screenshots(including from my PC).

- Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I'm to new to the forum to post links. All they were of was showing download speeds from WiFi/4G to show that it worked, along with showing that I was connected as a media device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShadyPossum:
super excited to flash this when i get home! Just curious if you hope/plan to keep this ROM up to date, including bug fixes and maybe a port to full 5.0?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 06sharpshot:
Mtp doesn't work on GPE roms yet. It's a well known bug and is mentioned in the OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShadyPossum:
What would be the best alternative to get files onto the phone if MTP doesnt work (yet)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 06sharpshot:
That's a matter of opinion. You could use air droid which I know many people do. I used es file Explorer to navigate shared files on my computer when I was on this rom. There are other options but these are the two I've used in the past.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tech 4 9:
Woo hoo! I JUST finished reading ENTIRE thread straight through. I'm cross-eyed but I made it and only have one question....how, exactly, do I install this ROM? :D j/k

I tried yesterday but I think my trying to flash the rom, the modules, and the apn fix in the same flash might not be a good idea. From what I get from reading it should be separate flashes?..or does it matter?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
All at once, but APN fix, then modules.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Pulling the SD card out and copying to the internal with CM file manager, or airdroid, mapping it as a network drive, or adb push and pull. All work fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Bug fixes, yes. 5.0? It is impossible until we get a signed 5.0 kernel (which means whenever VZW gives us lollipop, aka 3 years from now XD-
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] steepdgaf:
I hope someone can help me, I love this ROM but I'm having a problem. I'm on version 1.3, safestrap 3.75, towel root v3, SCH-I545. I Odin NC5 before installation then install rom, apn fix for Verizon and then NC5 module, everything works great while on. If my phone is shut off and i plug in the charger I get the big gray battery, safestrap screen then nothing. I can only get the phone to come on after I unplug the charger and hold power button for long time. Charging works fine on stock and other 4.4.2 ROMs.. Yes I've tried different cables including stock. I've searched and only found 1 other person with this issue but don't see a fix if there is one, thank you in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
thats a safestrap issue and there is no way to fix it ... sorry
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
A bypass for this is, before you plug it in, hold the vol down and power, then plug it in. A screen will pop up with options, then use the volume buttons to select restart phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
which will boot the phone up the problem is that its booting up and hanging ... when you plug it into charge from a "off "state" the only way out of it is to hold the power button down or pop the battery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Oh, I was under the understanding he wanted to be able to jump from charging mode to the OS while it was plugged in, my bad.

If he just wants to see the charging screen, safestrap breaks it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
yep it will still charge it just won't reboot normally, without a long press on the power button or a battery pop
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] steepdgaf:
So a previous version of safestrap or anything work at all. I'm desperate and in love and don't want to go else where.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
I'm honestly not sure why its such a big deal...

You can just uninstall safestrap via the app. That would solve that issue, but the if you screw up the ROM, you have to ODIN to stock before you can reflash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
nada blame verizon

---------- Post added at 08:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

what we need is a stock-recovery flashable safestrap package
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] steepdgaf:
I apologize sir, its not a big deal i guess, only wanted to be able to charge phone while off or if it dies. Sorry for any confusion and I appreciate all the help. Keep up the great work...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Oh that would be grand, but impossible.

Itd have to be a signed by Samsung zip.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
No worries. It is still charging actually, it just doesn't show it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
it will still charge you just won't get the charging screen ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShadyPossum:
keyboards

I seem to be having an issue with the keyboards. Even though i have SwiftKey installed, and set as default however whenever i try to actually use it it still defaults back to the samsung keyboard. Am i missing something?

Also, slightly more minor, is there a way to add home screen pages to the left of the main page instead of always scrolling to the right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tech 4 9:
I think I remember seeing a post regarding non-working GPS? Which one or just what is the fix?.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tech 4 9:
Somehow all my contacts have been lost...even from the cloud. For the first time ever, cloud didn't recognize my phone after installing this room and I had to actually log into the cloud because it didn't recognize my phone. Now I have no contacts at all. And GPS still doesn't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] {davros}:
It's there don't worry.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rp1226:
If you are using google for contacts, you can recover them to a certain date or time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tech 4 9:
Which?...GPS or my contacts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] {davros}:
Contacts
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Its not the Samsung Keyboard, its the Google Keyboard, and just clear app data and defaults on both keyboards via the apps menu in settings, then reopen Swift-Key. Should solve the issue. (:

Nah. That's a GNL thing, download NOVA, or turn off Google Now.

Ok, for starters, what "Cloud"? Saying cloud means nothing, you have a specific service that syncs your contacts. Do you mean your Google Contacts? You may have to remove and re add your Google account in settings.

What do you mean the Cloud didn't recognize your phone? Do you mean that the Google Account didn't auto log in? Because no ROM will auto log you in to your google account. Plus, the OP doesn't say the ROM flash will preserve user data, or any data for that matter, that's the users job.

But also, to note, the OP says that GPS is an issue under the FAQ Tab, it works for some, and not for others, there seem to be no consistencies that I find between the situations, so, I can only advise you to Odin to stock, re-flash and hope for the best, if it doesn't work, it may just not.

There was one proposed GPS fix in the other thread, but I cannot personally vouch for it, this requires that you ODIN to Stock, setup, re-root/safestrap, connect to WiFi, open Google Maps, and click the lock button that zeros in on your location, then immediately reboot, and flash the ROM over top of stock without Wiping system, but if you follow these steps, I cannot provide support due to the fact that it is a dirty flash, and will vary from user to user.

Also, Note to all:

Many people don't understand this and have complained to me via PM, things like "But WiFi works on my Nexus 5, and that is just like this, so why is the soft reboot necessary?" & "Why don't you care about the GPS/SoftBoot/MTP/x bug?"

We aren't working from official source code, with nicely corresponding device specific drivers/binaries like Nexus/GPE Devices get the pleasure of having, we have to work with modified GPE dumps and source code, and it is honestly very hard to work with compared to some other devices. Though, one of the largest hurdles is having to deal with the stock kernel, for example, if an MDK User were to flash this, and the KToonZ kernel, they would find that WiFi works off of Reboot, as well as MTP, and I would bet anything that GPS would work as well. MTP could even theoretically be replaced with UMS, but VZW implemented the stupid Verizon CD Installer at the Kernel level, in the place of UMS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tech 4 9:
Well I gottem back but only by going back to previous rom and restoring from titanium.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] daventodd123:
Okay so my phone died and after I charged it up and turned it on, my WiFi no longer works and the on-screen buttons have came back up.. I've flashed Gogolies WiFi fix and the disable onscreen buttons zip and neither have changed anything. I'm a little confused at what to do
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
OK, the WiFi is a matter of softboot to get it working. The ON Screen buttons though, how did you disable them initially?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] daventodd123:
I had no idea softbooting would fix Wi-Fi ? That fixed both problems, thanks so much
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tech 4 9:
Npjohnson: thanks for your rom, your hard work and the support thus far exhibited through the quick, helpful and plentiful responses.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
I'd like to report success on 1.3 using nk1 boot loader and modem

I came from hyperdrive and before flashing I turned on the GPS and left it on, which made the GPS on this ROM work. also getting cell data was a little fiddly, but flashing the APN fix and using the change APN app from the play store, selecting LTE and rebooting enabled data

haven't tried the WiFi ap app but dang stock android is hella nice, blows touchwiz out of the water
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Great to hear. Enjoy :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tech 4 9:
OK I did factory reset and fresh Odin of nk1 then fresh install of rom. GPS is working (woo hoo)...but now email force closes. Tried reflashing modules and apn fix to no avail. Cleaned all caches. I don't think I've read anything on here about email trouble but any input appreciated. Email app opens but when I click on email in crashes. All is synced.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtfchuck:
Can I ask your carrier? TIA
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
I'm glad you didn't ask me... I would have felt so much shame answering this question. I'm so embarrassed by my carrier i wouldn't know how to answer.:banghead:

/derailing :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtfchuck:
Well, I have Verizon and considering he had good success, I was curious. I have not tried this ROM but following the thread. :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Sounds like a bad APK. Is it a gmail account or exchange?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
yea im on big red lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] daventodd123:
An ETA on v1.4? No rush but hoping there is a fix for the wanky network setup in the making
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Well, actually, I won't give an ETA. Consider 1.3 an LTS Version, though 1.4 will be coming soonish. It seems like people can get Cell Data fairly reliably through module flashing, APN fix, and using the APN selector.

As for LTE signal strength, there will definitely be some improvements.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
for people complaining about signal strength:

keep in mind, AOSP only displays 4 bars whereas Verizon-based ROMs use 5 bars. so you may be seeing less signal strength (I personally see 0 bars on this ROM where I would see 1 on TW) but its actually still the same.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
I believe touchwiz "fluffs" the signal strength also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
now that's silly

unless the fluffing is the same displaying of more bars.

frick, sprint phones display 6 bars (jesus Christ)

and I've seen screenshots of unlocked TW phones using the standard 4 bars.

the carriers all do different stuff and frankly it's getting silly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
What he is referring to is that 5 bars on TW ROMs, can be 3-4on AOSP ROMs. Its the same thing that Apple does, they fluff it up, so it seems like you always have service, this explains all the times you have one bar, but can't load anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] krnsushiman:
LTE Error

I've been running the rom for a couple of days and it's been running really smoothly. I just have one issue. When I switch my radio to LTE/CDMA/GSM or LTE/CDMA, LTE does not work and only 3g works (as well as messages and phone calls. If I switch to LTE only, LTE works but phone calls and messages don't. Does anyone else have this issue? I'd appreciate the help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RickGrimes411:
My first boot showed 3g once I selected LTE/CDMA in gravity box. I rebooted and LTE and everything else worked. I would assume you rebooted already. But do it if you have not. Also did you flash the apn-fix.zip right after flashing the ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] krnsushiman:
I did both! I'm not sure why it isn't working. It may have been a bad download/install. I might give it another shot from scratch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
So far so good LTE does work but I need to switch to LTE only to get it which breaks mobile calling setting to LTE/CDMA gets me 3g+mobile , WiFi ap works great tho
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Arkane416:
I think the data issues we have been having, have to do with the PRL. I flashed over to a clean stock NK1 ROM and the issues with this ROM just carried over to the other. So I called verizon and had them push a PRL update to my phone. If your phone isn't on the 15361 PRL, that is most likely the case. Once verizon pushed it I am back to having full mobile cell service (not the half signal I was getting with this ROM) and full LTE. I found a thread on xda about the same issues someone was having with an S3 and the same process fixed it. Might be something to consider. I tested the issues and was getting the exact same results with a clean NK1 ROM. Which shouldn't happen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 06sharpshot:
How do you check your PRL?

Edit: It's in the about phone menu.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 1nthe5hadow5:
Softbooting

So, how exactly do I softboot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Either use xposed in the framework tab or just tap reboot in the power menu and select hot reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 06sharpshot:
Use the xposed app or an exposed module like gravitybox which can add soft reboot to the power menu.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 1nthe5hadow5:
No Wifi

Ive tried everything from flashing the NK1 modules to restoring form a base touchwiz backup, and wifi still isnt working!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
which kernel are you running? nc5 or nk1?

and have you tried a soft-reboot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 1nthe5hadow5:
Im running nk1. I just tried to recover my touchwiz backup (from before I installed any modules) and wifi still dosent work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
the modules are required for any rom you use on safestrap.

I would start over and reflash kitpop then flash nk1 modules then supersu.

boot up then do a soft-boot.

That should get you going properly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 1nthe5hadow5:
I just tried that, and im still stuck at 'Turning Wi-Fi on...'
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
There is no way it shouldn't be working. hmm....

are you sure its the nc5 kernel?

you will be able to check by looking at the kernel version number.

in Settings > About phone

which is 3.4.0-1151670

and kernel build date is Mar 28
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 1nthe5hadow5:
Im not on NC5 im on NK1. My kernal is 3.4.0-2415818 Tue. Nov. 4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
have you been able to get wifi on any other roms?

could it be the module.zip that is causing the problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 1nthe5hadow5:
Before I installed the kitpop ROM for the first time, my wifi was fine. It just stopped working after that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
nobody has ever had problems with wifi that modules couldn't fix on this rom that i know of.

try a clean flash of a tw rom with the modules you have and see if that will bring it back

also just to be sure you can check the nk1 module zip md5 against the ones that I used to use before i decided to go back to nc5

Im currently flashing a fresh ROM through ODIN. I will try the process one more time and if it dosent work, then I am going back to stock. Thanks for your help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Ok let me know how it goes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 1nthe5hadow5:
Complete(Write) operation failed. This happened in ODIN while trying to flash a blank twrp image. What should I do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Whoa! I didn't realize you were trying to flash through odin.

We can't flash roms through odin like in the old days.

follow this guide but first go to the troubleshooting section Its the second paragraph.

You need to get back to complete stock nk1 then you need to reroot and safestrap again.

If I were you I would go to nc5 though, I have problems with selinux on nk1 but none at all on nc5.

[ODIN][TAR] I545VRUFNC5 Factory and No-Wipe Odin tars

Plus it's easier to root using the towelroot app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 1nthe5hadow5:
Thats the ROM im using
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Use the nc5 full-wipe odin package and see if that works.

The nk1 package you have must be corrupt or something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Note, stated before, KitPop v1.3 does nothing that could affect WiFi on other ROM's. However, if you flashed 1.2 (no longer supported), or the NC2 WiFi fix, then, that could affect WiFi on other ROMs. But absolutely nothing that KitPop. (v1.2 or v1.3) could affect a phone after a ODIN to stock! If the problem persists after ODIN, it is a hardware issue.

BTW, that is not a ROM (well technically it is, besides the point), it is isn't a twrp image either. Its an ODIN Stock TAR, that restores the device similar to a fastboot factory image on a nexus device.

Also, did you flash the NK1 selinux fix along with the ROM? That could very well be the problem if you didn't.

Your write failed in ODIN error means one of a few things,

1. (Most Likely) Bad download, redownload, if not, try the NC5 TAR as recommended BH kblait.

2. A bad USB cord (just try a new one)

3. (Worst case scenario) a hardware issue.

Also, was the phone in download mode when you clicked start? That's where you turn the device off, then hold the volume down button and the power button down, then use the volume buttons to agree to the prompt before you flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 1nthe5hadow5:
The NC5 tar worked beautifully Thank You so much for all of your help. Have a good night!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
yeah the nexus 6 is what i plan on getting.

I just have to do it just right. ie.(wait on verizon to get it,transfer my upgrade to my wifes line upgrade on hers then transfer to mine)

and I will definitely look into going to nk1

thanks.

Good and Bad

im having problems disabling the soft keys, i flash both zips to switch from soft to capasitive but nothing happens after i reboot. Also FYI my wifi works no problem after each reboot, i will report on battery after a good days of usage. Other than the soft key issue everything is looking fine....One request i have is for a "stock" battery percentage so that i domt have to pull it down every time to check my battery percentage. Also one last thing is that they keyboard vibrates very strong when typing, i was wondering if there is a way to turn that down.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Try this... https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934521714

It replaces your GPS.conf file with a pre-locked one at a mock-address, from there you should be able to re-lock on your location.

Make sure to wipe /cache and Dalvik-Cache after flashing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
no data at all
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Re-Download the zips from the OP, I just tested and they work. Probably a bad download.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shawn12350:
The links for the add ons aren't working?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Just tested them. I'm not sure what to say... :p. Maybe just refresh?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shawn12350:
Yep. They're working fine for me now. :) Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Try this: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934521717

And then download change APN from the Play Store, and click VZW LTE

If not, we will have to try something different, sorry, the person who told me data/voice was working on NK1 was not reliable apparently XD. I'm 100% we can get this working, but I need to get some sleep tonight, so if this doesn't work, I'll be back on tomorrow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Vibration, I'll turn it down in the next build. If you want the Material keyboard, just go to language settings any the Google keyboard, then theme.

Battery Percentage = search "battery percentage" into the play store, the one that enables battery percentage on Nexus Phones, download and enable it through that app, works great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Funny question... did you try rebooting?

Cause I just rebooted and had this issue! Rebooted one more time after flashing, and poof! There we go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Ok guys, calling it for tonight, be back on tomorrow. All in all, this went fairly well for a release day, except that initial Bad set of Zips. XD
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Michaelmansour1997:
Still having issues

im still having problems flashing the soft-key removal and having the capacitive buttons work, when i try to flash the zip it fails and there is no change, also i have no data or voice, and cannot add a apn, once i set all the parameters the apn does not sow up in the list, i also have tried flashing the vzw apn fix, but to no avail.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LGtMgG2t:
Flashed and booted fine with WiFi here but I'm struggling to get data working also. With SuperNexus I only had to copy my factory APN file to the etc directory and reboot a couple times then go reset to default in the APN dialog. Not working here though.

Also, did anyone have their Slot 1 get wiped? I installed this to stock and for some reason Slot 1 was deleted.

EDIT- Got data working with vzw-APNfix and resetting to default in the APN window. I can confirm the dialer is crashing right away when making a call.

---------- Post added at 03:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------

I'm getting the same error when trying to flash either of two zips also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thchipmunk:
Same here.

Additionally, I am unable to root. I am coming from NK1 and used Towelroot there with no problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Towelroot doesn't work on the nk1 kernel. You have to downgrade the kernel via Odin if you wish to use towelroot.

Sorry. Thought that was well known. Will add to OP

Michael, are you on NC5 or NK1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
I don't know what is going on with those zips. I'll check again today. Good to hear the APN fix is working. You are On NC5 I'm assuming?
