I don't think this is stated in the first post.

On a separate note, is anyone using Pandora with OC6 or OC7? I had horrible distortion but I saw later that a Pandora update was released the same time I tried OC6.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
On the contrary, the first line of the first post says, and I quote:

NE3 is the earliest stable 4.4.x build available for the i537, so even though the build number isn't explicitly mentioned, it stands to reason one should be starting from at least NE3
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] chris1379:
I stand corrected. My apologies. :o
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] brian89:
i'm sorry for my careless

can you tell me what i have to do to fix my phone?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Instructions are given in this thread, follow the directions for NE3
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Groovu:
I've been running O7 for about a week now and it's great. Everything feels snappier and the battery seems to last longer. Love the update.

But I have a couple issues.

Video playback sometimes stutters a 15 seconds in then continues to play but at half the frame rate. It happened first on Facebook, then it happened while watching a video on chrome and through MX PLAYER.

More info: video plays for about 10 seconds then stops, but sound continues. I can track the video back to where it stopped and the video continues in half frames.

Also when often when I restart, it loads as if it's my first time booting, saying apps are being started. And has the waterproof pop ups telling me about the charging port and my back cover.

Im also running galaxy mod ultimate.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] javadahut:
Just like to add, that I had the exact same issue. Followed the post, tried again and again, but kept coming to a black screen and stayed that way. I ended up switching to the deodexed version and it worked fine.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Rick1684:
just curious i used this guide to get deodexed oc6 a couple weeks ago and am very happy with it. are the changes in oc7 dramatic.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
No but from what I understand, OC7 patched the Stagefright vulnerability, so I guess in one very specific sense, yes
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
Isn't the OC6 to OC7 update file 280MB? There should be a lot more changes other than just that. I don't know how to figure out what else they changed, but it seems like there were a lot of changes.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] King_Loki001:
I did the update to oc6 to oc7, I don't remember the bootloader being on the post. If use Odin and update the bootloader, would that wipe the phone? Any ideas?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] luverbwoy:
How?

How do I install this now that Flashfire doesn't work? I've tried Safestrap and after the Samsung logo, the screen flashes black a couple times then it reboots into the recovery. Also I've been trying to install both the OC7 Odexed and DeOdexed, as well as the OC6, nothing has worked so far.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Flash fire will work normally if you set your phone's date before 8/31/2015
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] luverbwoy:
Sad I didn't think of that, same concept with computers.....feel bad for calling myself a techie now.

:(
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Rick1684:
Has anyone else had fc's when trying to change the date? Everything else in settings works fine ,tap change date and fc. Tried clearing app data. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] paleh0rse:
Is there currently any way to patch for Stagefright on OC6 without updating to full OC7?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Rick1684:
Not on our phone yet. Some other devs made patches for phones that did not receive the update. Anyway I'm on oc7 and still says I'm vulnerable to stage fright . It patches most exploits but still have one showing up on the detection app. FYI updating to oc7 was painless just flash deodexed if u r on oc6 deodexed
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] ChristopherXDA:
I flashed an old rooted i537 on NH3 using the deodex OC7 and had zero problems. Thanks OP! Looking around, there doesn't seem to be anything else to do on this phone, romwise. All well.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Rick1684:
Hey I found this in the s4 forums. Is there anyway to make this Stagefright patch work on our device? http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-att/development/stagefright-patch-sgh-i337m-galaxy-s4-t3194826
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
OC7 firmware includes the Stagefright patches, so just update your firmware.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Rick1684:
I am on oc7. When I run the detection app for Stagefright it still is showing vulnerable on 1 on the patches. Is this something wrong with my install? Or is this not important.

If i flash the OC6 stock rooted, do i still need to flash any bootloader??
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] gwthumper:
My laptop is down. I'm on odexed oc6 rooted. Is it absolutely necessary to update the bootloader via odin when going to oc7? Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Rick1684:
Only if u plan to update to oc7. From my experience anyway. Flashed oc6 w\o Odin att all.

---------- Post added at 08:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 PM ----------

No, only if you plan to update to oc7. I updated without using Odin at all going to oc6.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Spiewich:
Help please

i am currently on rooted I537UCUCNH3 (4.4.2) and when i want to flash the I537UCUCOC6 (5.0.1) the phone freezes eternally with a black screen after the samsung splash screen.

i previously had a null/null IMEI issue, which i did fix with the MF1 modem.bin file and my baseband is in MF1 and my build number at I537UCUCNH3, could this be the problem, if no what could be possibly wrong, please please please help ASAP.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] PalmCentro:
Thanks for clarifying!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Rick1684:
I don't think the modem has any thing to do with it as the oc6 modem is being flashed over it. Did flashfire complete successfully? If you are bricked its a moot point anyhow. Odin back to full ne3 then towelroot and flashfire. Make sure that the file you're flashing is on the internal SD.

Also you said you flashed oc6. Did you follow the op and flash the oc7 boot loader. Because that wasn't necessary on oc6.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Spiewich:
HELP

When the Flashing on flashfire started, it first displayed the contents of my system, and later displayed the information of the 5.0.1 ROM, did some lines and shut down, i thought it would startUp to android, but it turned to a total black screen, but i guess the phone was still On because, it makes sounds if i plugged it to my system, i then thought that it was still processing in the background, i did it again and left the phone for about 15mins, and it was getting very hot, i did a battery pull, and try to bot it again, but the same thing happened, please what do i do at this point??? please HELP.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Rick1684:
OK if its not booting after a battery pull then you are going to have to use Odin. Flash NE3 then towel root then flash again. Did you by chance flash deodexed?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Spiewich:
Help please

YES, i have once deodexed my ROM because of the display graphics and the modifications that i needed and things worked fine, except for hotspot and my wifiDirect, so i have to revert back to the odexed. please did i get anything wrong? if YES, what is the solution?

and also the "wsyscldm" file(or something like that) that needs to be deleted in the /root/system/app folder in order to stop the annoying security alerts, i dont seem to find it, and i have not deleted it before, and the security notifications are disturbing me to restart my phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Rick1684:
1. Download Odin,

2. Download Stock NE3 http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567718011

3. Unzip and flash all four files in ne3 zip with Odin

4. Use towelroot to gain root after phone settles

5. Download flashfire.

6. I would redownload the oc7 stock rooted

7. Download oc7 boot loader

8. Configure flashfire to reboot into download mode

9. After flash completes reboot into download mode use Odin to flash oc7 boot loader

10. Phone will reboot takes a min.

11. If you want deodexed download flashfire again and flash the oc7 deodexed file.

After flashing deodexed phone will sit on at screen for 10-16 mins

12.Done. Fyi u need deodexed for xposed. Also special xposed download for Samsung

13 also u can flash mf1 modem now I did to get Sim unlock
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Banjo77:
This worked very well,

Using flashfire vr 24, its unnecessary to set the clock back, don't forget to set the screen timeout (10 min),

Veery smooth from NE3 direct to OC7, Really appreciate everyones efforts to make it so easy for me :D
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Spiewich:
i have done everything that you have written down, I even did a factory reset and to no avail but the problem still persist, but i was able to go into the stock recovery and this is how it looks like

Android System Recovery <3e>

LRX22C.I527UCUC0C7

Volume up/down to move highlight;

Power botton to select.

System Reboot

Apply Update from ADB

Apply update from external storage

Apply update from cache

Wipe date/factory rest

Wipe Cache partition

Reboot bootloader

Power down

Veiw recovery logs

Enable CP logging

Disable CP logging
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
In between steps 4 and 5 you have to:

--Enable USB Debugging and Mock Locations in developer options (to enable developer options, go into settings > about device > and repeatedly tap "Build number")

--Install superSU from the play store and run the app, following the prompts (yes reboot when it tells you to)

--Once superSU is installed, go into superSU settings and disable the option called "Mount namespace separation", you must reboot again now

--Make sure screen timeout setting is set to 10 minutes before flashing with Flashfire

Also I would recommend against the whole booting into download mode to flash the bootloader step. I've done this whole keep root process countless times (for rom testing purposes) and have not once needed to do that step. And haven't had any issues
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] gwthumper:
Im on oc6 rooted. So you're saying I don't necessarily have to flash the oc7 bootloader when upgrading to oc7?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Banjo77:
I noticed after installing OC7 that my build said 5.0.0 and after using odin to install the bootloader it went to 5.0.1
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
I've done this keep root method literally dozens of times (rom testing reasons) and never once have I flashed a bootloader. This has not caused me any issues
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] gwthumper:
That's what I needed to hear! Laptop is down. Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] bobbylx:
Nope. As thisisapoorusernamechoice said, i've been playing with OC7 for a while and had to start over at ne3 quite a few times now, never once have I done the bootloader.

From a rooted OC6 you should be able to install flashfire, and then install rooted/deodexed OC7. Basically, what it says in the original post in your case.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Rick1684:
Thank you for clarifying that as i flashed mine with the bootloader first I did not know that it was not necessary. Do you know why its instructed to flash it in the op. Seems like a lot of users have no access to odin and are having trouble.

To Spewich: ok im rewriting a thoroughly detailed guide. im not sure where you went wrong. As Poorusernamechoice said could you have not installed the binaries in super user? Although i dont think that flashfire would work without root. Anyway try this list and if you have trouble tell me where in the list.

---------- Post added at 08:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 PM ----------

1. Download Odin,

2. Download Stock NE3 http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567718011

3. Unzip and flash all four files in ne3 zip with Odin

4. Go to Settings and enable developer options by click build number repeatedly

5. Under developer options tick the box for enable usb debugging and mock locations

6. Download and use towelroot to gain root after phone settles (make sure that towelroot completes successfully and doesnt freeze)

7. Download Supersu from Store and follow the instructions after opening (choose normal for recovery type and let reboot)

After rebooting open supersu and disable mount namespace separation in settings

8. Download flashfire.

9. Make sure to set screen timout to 10 mins

10. Download the oc7 stock rooted

11. Using flashfire flash the oc7 stock zip. (Change no settings in flashfire also make sure to choose flash zip not ota)

12. Phone will reboot once flash completes.

11. If you want deodexed download flashfire again and flash the oc7 deodexed file. (After flashing deodexed phone will sit on at screen for 10-16 mins)

P.S. Thanks everyone. Ive never been so happy with this phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Spiewich:
i have applied the modification in SuperSu settings, flashed the 0C7 via flashfire and alsoo flashed the bootloader.

after the whole procedure i lost IMEI and network, please what do i do, and please i would not want to use the MF1 modem.bin.

thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] bobbylx:
See the directions above your post. Bootloader is not necessary. I would start over at NE3 and follow the directions exactly. I literally had to do this again last night, soft bricked my phone trying to make a masterpatch for GoldenEye v53. Within 30 minutes or so I'm back up at OC7, using the method mention above.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Spiewich:
i followed exactly everything that was written, the issue with my device is that, each time i flash a new firmware, i usually loose my IMEI, which i normally fix with the MF1 modem.bin via ODIN, and it all started after i reverted from deodexing my ROM, am currently running odexed 0C7 rooted firmware, the problem is that my IMEI is null/null, baseband is unknown and service mode is blank.

am tired of flashing the MF1 modem.bin, because it gives me MF1 modem, while am on another version, please whats the solution.

thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] bobbylx:
So, what happens if you were to odin to NE3, does your IMEI return? Do you have wifi at the moment? If you do, can you install ES file explorer (or another root file explorer) and see if you have /efs/imei folder? Have you tried flashing modem.bin from OC6? Maybe make a backup of the efs from a good working config.

The revised directions in post 497, directly above yours, no longer have bootloader. Could that be the current issue for you?

Just throwing ideas out.

Why are you so desperate to flash the OC7 bootloader? It sounds like your phone is working great with the NE3 bootloader.

My phone only works fine on any bootloader if i flash the MF1 modem.bin file, without it, i dont have IMEI, baseband, network etc, i want to have a baseband the same with my firmware version, and not MF1
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] AJ1410:
I followed the instructions in OP. And right now it's stuck in download mode. How long is it suppose to be in download mode?

EDIT: I feel silly for not reading the odin bootloader part. No wonder it was stuck!

I updated about 1 week ago, I always get Synchronize and story album has stopped notification. could this be the problem
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Rick1684:
Personally I use titanium backup to freeze story album and pretty much everything else bloatware. I have zero problems. It's worth a shot. If it still acts up. You could try starting fresh from ne3
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
For what it's worth, I don't even bother freezing bloatware, I uninstall it with titanium backup

I was thinking about that. I just wasn't sure on whether you could downgrade from OC7 to NE3. Going to try this and see if their is any improvements

msm_hsic_host

am I the only one in OC6 with msm_hsic_host wakelock. its also keeping the phone on on 61% awake with no deep sleep
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Rick1684:
I would recommend using arter97 unofficial xposed v75 non congruent version and if youre using this method flash xposed with flashfire deodexed zip. That worked the best for me. Any other way i would get starting apps at boot every time. Also try to keep wifi off during flash the black screen issue happens when flashfire crashes due to background apps updating turn it on for towelroot and then back off for the rest of the process
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] gurnec:
I had a similar sounding issue on NE3, it turned out to be a problem with CarrierIQ. The attached shell script solved it for me; you'll need something like Script Manager to run it. I take no credit for this.... I can't find the OP though.

I don't know if this will help you with OC6, but I have run it on OC7 and haven't noticed any negative affects. YMMV....

Run the apk file and allow it to install. Run the app and allow it to install the driver of your choice. For best results immediately reboot once the driver is installed, don't even bother pressing "OK". Once rebooted, open the app again, now you can make whatever adjustments you like
