Can this be done from OC3 to OC4?

Are there any other methods to do the above other than full ROM wipe?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] firefoxies:
If I have the odexed oc4 ROM currently installed on my device, and I want to switch to the deodexed version, do I have to go back to 4.4.x and start from there, or can I flash it while on 5.0?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CrossBones3129:
Just curious but does a deodexed rooted ROM allow system app uninstaller to completely remove apps? I used it and it screwed up my phone so I did a factory resetfrom recovery and my phone was still missing the apps I had selected to uninstall.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] s629c:
I don't know if anybody has said it yet, but to remove "Samsung Custom" on boot, use Wanam Xposed (lp) to remove. Requires Xposed Framework.

For those looking for the stagefright fix without having to factory reset, flash the zip from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3198399 using flashfire. It doesn't give you OC4, but it has the stagefright fix from that update

Please Help Me

I Followed This Steps : For Install Custom ROM

1. Copy the ROM, ATT_OC3_modules and I337_OC3_Stock_KERNEL_Recovery-Flashable files to your SD Card

2. Use NC1 flash er to get into Safestrap

3. Don't change anything, just go to Wipe and slide to wipe

4. After wipe's done, go back and go to Install

5. Look for the ROM, press it and slide to install .. This Step I Got Error

And I Tried PhoeniX ROM v11.6

Same Error

Keep I Am Getting This Error : set_metadata_recursive some changes failed

OC3 to OC4

Can you do this comming from OC3 to OC4? I really hope you can, becuase I don't want to start over again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] electricpete1:
This worked great for me updating from I337UCUFNJ4 (4.4.4) to 1337UCUGOC4 (5.0.1), keeping root.

The only problem was (silly me) I chose the odexed version.

Now I want Xposed which needs de-odexed.

Can I just follow the same instructions again in order to go

from i337UCUGOC4 (odexed) to 1337UCUGOC4 (de-odexed) ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mokuloa:
Yes, you can. I just did this from OC3 (odexed) to OC4 (deodexed). Follow the instructions for OC4 exactly, remembering to flash the bootloader via Odin, and that it will take 15-20 minutes to transition to deodexed apps.

Generically, from the first line of the original post: "**You can begin the following process from any 4.4.x Build/ROM or higher but you must already have Root Access**" I think this answers the previous poster's questions as well.

Xposed here we come!!!

Update: Two hours later, XPrivacy seems to be working fine!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bryan_mmx:
good day

i just followed the instructions but seems like it failed. after flashing bootloader with odin, phone was back in standby mode less than a minute. checking the settings, I'm still on NB1.

one difference I notice is flashfire version. the one I got from google play beta testing is flashfire 0.24, I'm seeing 0.19 here.

When doing this for the first time, do I have to flash the OC3 first with the OC3 kernel? Or go right to OC4 and OC4 kernel?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] gonehaywire:
I have tried on and off for over a week to get updated to Lollipop. This method finally worked!!! I sure am glad these folks around!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bryan_mmx:
you used oc3? do you have oc3 bootloader or used the oc4 bootloader provided here?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] gonehaywire:
I used the OC4. I followed the instructions verbatum. That's what causes me a lot of trouble. When I hit a point where the instructions don't match what I have, it's blown up and time to get back to my old setup and start over. I was to the point on this one, I told myself "one more try then I'm done". And behold! I have Lollipop-ed-ness!! Thanks again to all you devs that made me succeeding a possibility. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] madman808:
I just tried going from rooted OC3 to OC4 but now I'm getting "System software not authorized by AT&T..." Did I miss something?

Edit: It was odd. Flashed the OC4 kernel but the baseband disappeared. Ended up going back to stock NB1, root, jump to OC4, then flashing the kernel again. Worked the second time.

TetherAddOn

@muniz_ri I was wondering what the I337_OC4_TetherAddOn.zip is for.

I have an I337 which I upgraded to Stock Rooted Deodexed OC4 and then debloated myself with the help of Batch_Debloater.

I'm on the T-Mobile network and the Wifi Tethering works just fine as is.

Is the TetherAddOn still necessary?

There are several notes in this thread and others in this section on using KingRoot 's desktop version. It must be the desktop version. The mobile version will not work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] DukeSilver79:
I followed the instructions closely and just get the samsung and unlocked padlock symbol. I'm not a total noob, but far from an expert. Here are my pics of the process. I started with NB1. Then got to 4.4.4, flashing NC1 Stock Kernel, towelroot, and then NJ4 Stock kernel and then with flashfire, flashed OC4. I'm not trying Goldeneye, or safestrap or any of that. I just don't know what is going wrong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] robot_head:
[MENTION=4532179]DukeSilver79[/MENTION] it looks like you're there on lollipop in one of the pics... That's just stock rooted att firmware. Nothing fancy. If you want more you'll have to install safestrap and flash a rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] DukeSilver79:
Unfortunately, the lollipop is the picture when I first started out. I wanted to show reference of the stats. After I flash 4.4.4, that's when I end up getting the padlock and it doesn't do anything else.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] s629c:
Flash 4.4.2(NB1) use towel root, then flashfire to OC4. Skip NJ4 all together. Worked for me but I didn't have the issue you did though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] robot_head:
Exactly my procedure. And make sure you have stock nb1 rom tar.md5 for odin in case you run into a problem. You won't but just in case. Good luck... I'm running albe95 s6 port v4.5 rom on my i337. Superb rom, you may want to consider flashing it once your back on lollipop.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] joe_modo:
Albe's s6 FULL PORT is sexy, my favorite rom on the s4 as of yet!

If you run into network connectivity issues on this rom (which i337 users inevitably will), simply ATT_OC4_RIL.zip from the link below. The zip simply flashes a few RIL libraries from a stock OC3/OC4 rom to newer i9505 roms such as this one, allowing our modem to play nice and work. Easy fix! Just flash after flashing your chosen rom (again, I suggest Albe95's s6 FULL PORT 4.5, I'm a fanboy!). Or if you want, unzip and place the files yourself in /system/etc/ just make sure to set proper permissions.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=40525

They're all identical ZIPs, so it doesn't matter which you choose, I just uploaded with redundant titles to ease the mind of a weary OC3 user that the OC4 files would work (they do, they weren't changed in the update, they are indeed identical)

and [MENTION=6758142]robot_head[/MENTION], feel free to share my link, or flashable zip wherever you would like, I don't care for credit, just that it helps people!

[How-To] Update to I337_OC4 - 5.0.1 and KeepRoot

Ok, so I had said that kingroot gave me root. But for some reason it wouldn't let me install supersu. HOWEVER, I went back to this and skipped the 4.4.4 step and it worked fine. When I didn't include the tether add on, it worked perfectly. When I flashed the tether add on, it never fully booted properly. I just get several ..... "This application has stopped working" errors. Is there something I can do to install the tether add on and not get all the errors? Can I flash the tethering after I got rooted 5.0.1 on there, or do they have to be at the same time? Thanks for all of your help and for this great thread. I'm on stock rooted, and at least got rid of bloat and moved several apps to the SD card. That was the main things I wanted to do. Tethering would just be icing on the cake.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] s629c:
Kingroot doesn't let you use SuperSU. I've never tried the tether add-on so I can't help you there

I got this from another forum, but this is the same problem I'm having. Without flashing the tether, it's fine. With it, I get this...

tried the update lollipop and keep root method with the wifi tether. my phone used to be 4.2.2 i think. everything seemed fine. but the phone boots and once it gets to the home screen, the home screen is black, only showing the battery, signal, and nfc logo. it also flashes the message com.android.phone has stopped. i can tell the update worked because the popup looks different, but i am unable to get to any apps or settings, and wiping the cache and factory resets did not work. what to do from here?

soft brick my sgh-i337 rooted 4.2.2 (FM3)

Hello everyone,

I followed the directions exactly as described above. Before I started, I read on several threads that this upgrade method worked on any sgh-i337 firmware (and even other websites said the same thing and referred back to this very thread). Otherwise I would not have proceeded. Anyways, before starting I already had root on my 4.2.2 firmware (build FM3). I also did a Titanium Backup before starting.

I installed the latest version of ODIN v3.10.7 and already had the drivers on my PC.

I installed FlashFire on my phone and followed the instructions to flash the I337_OC4_Stock_Rooted_ROM (which I copied into my SD card). It finished and proceeded to boot into the Download mode. I then opened ODIN as administrator and then plugged in my phone. However, my PC started to download and install new drivers, so I let it finish. Once it finished, ODIN then recognized my phone as connected in the "COMM" box. I then proceeded to flash the I337_OC4_Bootloader file, using the AP slot (I did not see a PDA slot). Aside from that, I did not make any changes in ODIN since it was not mentioned in the instructions. So I clicked START and the flash started, and I saw the phone's Download bar moving as well. But the ODIN flash failed. I tried it again, and it just keeps on failling.

Now my phone is stuck in ODIN mode, even it I try to go to recovery mode. The screen never turns off, so I pulled out the battery. My phone says the following:

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I337

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Official

KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0xfffffffc

KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0xfffffffc

CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30

SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE

WRITE PROTECTION: ENABLE

eMMC BUST MODE: enable

Firmware update encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.

So what exactly does this mean? How can I correct this so that my phone can be in firmware I337_OC4_Stock_Rooted_ROM?

BTW - I went ahead and downloaded Kies but I will wait for some expert help from one of you guys before proceeding.

Please help me with this.

Thanks,

ggee
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jroq8400:
Try a different USB cable and/or port. Odin is picky about it. Try several times. Get the phone to download mode each time from completely off. Better yet take battery out before each try.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply. I tried pulling the battery out. I wait several minutes and then I put the battery back in. I then press and hold the power button until the phone vibrates and the screen turns on. The phone immediately goes to the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." screen.

How do I make is go back to the Download mode? Do I need to connect the phone to the PC, with ODIN running, and then turn on the phone?

Also, what if I connect it and run Kies, like the screen is asking for. I beleive this might force Samsung's Kies to upgrade to a stock lollipop firmware...., I beleive. Just thinking out loud since I am not to familiar with Kies. If it does upgrade to a stock lollipop firmware, can I just root the lollipop (or reflash a pre-rooted lollipop). Any suggestions?

Thanks again,

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] robot_head:
That sounds like your kernel

You may need to start over if that doesn't work, start from scratch. You can Odin on that "firmware failed kies screen".. I've done it on my tablet. Isn't mf3 the magical build qfuse unblown. Search and read then read again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jroq8400:
I've also had to go to Kies and start over....takes a while but you'll get the phone back.

But first try if download mode still works...press home+volume_down+power until you get message to press up to continue

If that doesn't work you'll have to Kies

Try using ODIN 3.09, and start the program as Administrator. I have been unsuccessful with more recent versions, and that version always works for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] gguevara:
Hi guys,

Thanks for the support. I just saw your replies, but I was able to get the phone to boot. I reinstalled my drivers, rebooted my PC and made sure all programs where closed, except for ODIN. I used the same samsung usb cable, but put it into another port. I turned the phone on into Download mode (vol down / power / home), and then plugged it into the usb cable. I then re-ran the bootloader flash and it worked.

My phone booted into the Samsung and AT&T screens and is now doing the android setup (I decided to restore all my apps via google backup - so this might take awhile). Once this is done, I'll come back and flash the TetherAddOn, and do the Batch Debloater. I'll post my final results so that it might help someone else in the future.

Thanks again... (now I can go back to the Huifie android head units thread and figure out my GPS issue with TTS voices).

All the best.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] DukeSilver79:
So for anyone having trouble adding the tethering and getting a bunch of errors, flash the regular rom first. Get everything how you want it and then flash the optional tethering add on. When i flashed them at the same time, I got many errors and not a full boot. When I did them separately, it worked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] gguevara:
Hi guys,

So the google restore did not work. It just hung and did nothing. I couldn't get it to stop, so I just power off the phone, then booted to recovery mode and did a factory reset. Once this was finished I was able to setup the phone, and flashed the TetherAddOn using Flashfire.

However, how do I use the Batch_DeBloater. I do not see any instructions. Can you please give me a quick guide on this.

Thanks,

[MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION], thanks for the thread. Awesome (and easy!)!

One question on debloating. As I recall (from my Galaxy Nexus days), removing apps in /system does NOT give you any more usable space in the phone (since the total amount of /system space is reserved, and user-installed apps are placed in /data; i.e., you can't take advantage of any space that you free up in /system).

If yes, then the use of the debloater script is simply an easier way of killing unneeded apps than manually uninstalling or freezing them. My personal goal is reclaiming the space that I lost to ART (for use in installing apps, etc.) and, if I am correct, the debloater script won't help with that. :(

Can you confirm?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] PepNYC:
Ok guys. so I followed all the directions and it worked like a charm. Question though. Now I have no access to my SD card. I had it on KitKat and was able to move apps over at will. Now the move to sd card button is greyed out. I thought I read somewhere that I'd still have the access as long as the device remained rooted. I've tried the sd fix app from the app store which worked for kit kat by editing the platform.xml file but it's not working for my device on lollipop. I've even confirmed the file has been modified with es file explorer. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] s629c:
Not all apps can be moved natively. You can try app2sd though

---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:16 PM ----------

I can confirm. Deleting system apps only frees up system partition. What you could do is install certain apps like Xposed or SuperSU to system instead freeing up a bit of space but in the end, they are different partitions
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] PepNYC:
I ask because it worked fine on my rooted kit kat 4.4.2 before I loaded the rooted lollipop 5.0.1 rom. Then I lost all access to it. I know there's got to be a way. I'll take a look at app2sd. Thanks.
