[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Cats_PJs:
Finally got around to flashing Imperium ROM again using this lovely tool, worked great. I realized that the system ui problem from the other day is a known bug in the ROM itself. If anyone wants to check out that ROM just make sure you select the S6 launcher in aroma and you'll be fine. Also, supersu needs to be set so it grants root permission by default, just like in GE51. Having done that, now I'm going back to KitKat, I just have to have Viper.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] K-alz:
Thanks for the confirmation, man.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] selw0nk:
Thanks! This method helped me update to Goldeneye v52.

You're very welcome. Credit goes to the two gents I've mentioned in the op.

Flash NC1 backup in safestrap?

This is great.

So in theory, one could upgrade from rooted NC1 to rooted OC3 then jerk around with lollipop for a bit then use the NC1 flasher to get back to safestrap, flash NC1 backup, reboot and be back on rooted NC1?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] K-alz:
Yes, you can do that (I think), but you're going to have the OC3 (lollipop) bootloader and recovery. I don't know if they'll work with KK or not. You can try and let us know. :P

From my Allianced S5!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Guedeaux:
FYI Others in another thread also told me that this would not work because of the bootloader as you stated, so I did not attempt.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Guedeaux:
Do we need to flash OC3 modules also? Couldn't hurt? (ATT Safestrap from OC3 stock rooted going to GoldenEye)

The answer turned out to be yes hahaha

Other than that, Goldeneye52 is working great so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] K-alz:
Yes, you do. I need to add that to op. Or else, your WiFi wouldn't work.

Hi !

Could I use this method to flash GE v52 on i337 ATT mk2 (MLD baseband) running Goldenfinger v9.0 4.4.2?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] K-alz:
No, you can't. You're already on kitkat have other ways to flash the rom. This app is only for people who are running lollipop.

From my Allianced S5!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CrossBones3129:
So would I be able to use this to install Xposed for Lollipop?

I'm reverting back to NB1 and then to NJ1 now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] K-alz:
Yes, for the first part of your question. It takes you to SS and then you can flash whatever you want. just make sure to flash the OC3 kernel after done so you can boot up.

Is xposed out for Samsung?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CrossBones3129:
Pretty sure they got it but it's in alpha. Only way to install is through a custom recovery and I'm assuming safestrap would allow that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] K-alz:
Last time I checked it wasn't. I hope it's out. YouTube ads are killing me, man. Lol

But yeah SS works just like any other recovery as long as you don't mess with the kernel. I mean you can obviously swap kernels, but they'd have to be the stock ones. No custom ones.

Damn bro. This makes me mad when I think about it. This is definitely my last ATT device. Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CrossBones3129:
Just to be sure, this is the way I'm about to update back to OC3. Idr it looking like this when I first did it, I think the process has changed. Is this the one you are referring to in your guide though?

PS: Yeah, the Youtube Ads are killing me as well!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] K-alz:
That's muniz_ri method to upgrade from KK to LP. Yes, that's correct. After you've done the muniz_ri method you can use this app to get into SS just in case you needed to flash something while on LP. Make sure you have SS(install recovery from within the app as well) and busy box installed (from within the app as well) before proceeding with muniz_ri method.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CrossBones3129:
I don't have safestrap. Would you try installing Xposed and seeing if that works, I can guide you to the downloads.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] selw0nk:
I read you can get bootloops with xposed on Lollipop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] K-alz:
If you don't have safestrap then this app isn't gonna be useful to you.

I've checked the xposed thread and it still says that "it bootloops on Samsung stock roms". Unless you have something new
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] K-alz:
I read that, too!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CrossBones3129:
Apparently when they updated the posts, they didn't update the faq and stuff. If you check the xposed file it is something like 20150430 although the guide shows it specifying the file name as somwthing like 20150415. So there is a more up to date version now available.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] K-alz:
Could you link me to the thread?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CrossBones3129:

I tried this on ATT i337 OC3 bootloader. I Installed Albe 95 s6 port 1.00 I lose root access, it takes forever for root apps to respond. Anyone please advise.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] K-alz:
That's a ROM related thing. Since you got to SS just fine using this app and flashed the ROM. I don't think you've lost root. I think you either need to upgrade to the latest SuperSU (just google "SuperSU zip" and you'll find it. Use this app to get to SS then flash the new SuperSU and (I hope) you'll be fine. Also, if that didn't work try this: open the SuperSU app and go to settings and set the permission to "grant" and see if that works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] avinash_kk:
Yes.. I had to set Permission to 'grant' to make it work. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CrossBones3129:
I know this is fairly old but, since the deodexed version of OC3 for the S4 came out have you installed Xposed? I've yet to figure out how to get a custom recovery on this S4 OC3 deodexed ROM. Can you help me please?

new to rooting

How would I flash the OC3 kernel before reboot? can you do this on safestrap?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] K-alz:
It's in op. Download it. NC1 flasher takes you safestrap then you can flash OC3 kernel after done flash whatever you need to be able to boot up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Gragas123:
I meant to ask do I flash oc3 kernel using Odin or does safestrap let me flash it without the computer
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] K-alz:
Either way. The file in op is a flashable zip for safestrap. For Odin, you'd need a tar file to do so. The one in op works, though. Faster and easier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Gragas123:
Oh I see. I was confused because when I was rooting they told me to flash kernel using odin. I now know that kernel can be flashed using safestrap as long as it is a zip! Thank you for the clarification

Hello,

I'd like to know when I have to wipe my when I flash a new firmware or a samsung based rom for knox 0x0 reasons. Do I have to wipe BEFORE I flash the firmware or do I have to wipe AFTER I flashed the firmware? I don't want to wipe so often and I think one time should be enough, shouldn't it?

For example: I'm on stock 5.0 lollipop. I have to downgrade to 4.4.2 to use Towelroot. Is it enough to wipe my phone after I've flashed the 4.4.2 firmware or do I HAVE to wipe my phone before? If so, why?

If you're downgrading, then I'll assume you are flashing a tar with Odin. In that case it wipe your phone anyway, you can wipe before if you want to. Not necessary though. When flashing custom roms you always wipe before. You should really google this stuff or search for the info here.

In 5.x there is a way to hide notifications from specific apps, but since this is a system notification, I'm not sure you can use that method.

Hi All,

I'm trying to do a bit of spring cleaning on my phone, and I found in the root of the SDcard I've got a ton of files with the following format:

VSXXXXXX.XXX where the first two characters are always VS, usually followed by random numbers and letters, with a 3 digit extension ranging anywhere from .000 to .800

Examples:

VS08T72I.800

VSUM2506.001

VSTFULVP.000

VSQKRP7R.003

etc.

Size-wise each file runs anywhere from 2-8MB each. While not a big deal, I've got about 1.2 GB worth of these things.

They don't look like any sort of archive files (like a typical .001, .002, etc.) but instead some sort of random garbage files.

Before I try and delete any of these, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas? The latest ones were as of this morning, so I'm not sure what could be generating these.

Anyone have any ideas?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faded_giant:
Hello!

I just upgraded to Lollipop using a pre-rooted zip. It seems to be working well however I have hit a significant road block. When I first booted I had a notification instructing me to update Google Play services, however no progress was being made within the Play Store app. I have other pending updates that will not update as well. I have tried manually downloading the correct Play Services and Play Store apps however I continue to have issues (updates are hanging at "downloading"). I have noticed some wonky behavior in general which I believe is related to Play services not working correctly. I have attempted to Force close them and wipe the cache and data for each, including Framework and the Download manager, but this doesn't seem to have fixed anything. I also attempted to remove my Google account and re-enter it.

Does anyone have an advice before I factory reset? I am really trying to avoid this. Thanks in advance.

Update: Welp. I couldn't figure it out and so I thought a factory reset would fix it. WRONG. I have no idea what is going on but I have factory reset the phone and I am still having this issue. I am seriously at a loss.
