What is stagefright on oc6? I was getting notification there was update even though I was rooted on oc6. Updates fail if you're rooted, so I unrooted and tried again… still failed. Now I've lost root, and still on oc6 with no update :(

I have an older backup, so I'm not all too sad, but it sucks still. Lol
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] paleh0rse:
You could also revert to NE3 and go through the whole process again to update to OC6 and keeproot.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
I could, but I hate to go through it all over again lol. If I want root back though, I'll have to, unless there's an easier way… lol
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] pinyata:
so i tried the original update and it failed (i'm rooted). I checked for an update again and now it is 280.02MB so I'm curious if it's a full update of sorts. I'm hesitant to take on this update as I'm pretty sure I will lose root here.

edit: Welp, the 280.02MB update failed as well. Looks like I'll be waiting until someone smarter than me figures out how to flash this update.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
If it makes u feel better, I unrooted my phone to try to get the update, but it still failed. Now, I have to go through the whole process over again… lol.

I wish the bootloader was not locked. Installing a new rom would be so much better lol

OC7 OTA Captured

[MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION], [MENTION=3047491]Devo7v[/MENTION], [MENTION=3438631]paleh0rse[/MENTION], [MENTION=4571792]wolf45801[/MENTION], [MENTION=5156520]angelle97[/MENTION]

Good news everyone! I captured the OC6 to OC7 OTA file, linked to here. Inside the zip is the usual 2400258.cfg file, as usual this has to be renamed update.zip and flashed in stock recovery, coming from stock, unrooted OC6 (so if you want to be rooted, hold off for now). Devo7v, I hope you will add this to your firmware collection thread. muniz_ri, is there any chance you can make a stock rooted OC7 rom? Thanks everyone for your time.

Oh, also, along the way, I was able to capture the OTA file for going straight from NE3 to OC6 (again, unrooted), linked to here. I don't believe this particular file has been shared yet, hopefully Devo7v and muniz_ri put it to good use
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
Damn! If only I would have been patient... *sigh* thanks pooruser for the mention!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] muniz_ri:
Added OC7 stock, rooted ROM's to OP.

Awesome, thank you so much, we owe you a lot :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] chris1379:
Am I the only one who had audio problems in OC6? I used the stock root ROM. Pandora was so scratchy I couldn't listen too it and other sources weren't that much better, especially over bluetooth. I couldn't use Viper4Android or any other equalizer consistently. Had to go back to NH3 and discovered the Wolfdroid instructions were gone. found the files and followed my own notes. What a pain. I'll be watching to see if OC7 is better. Is there a specific number of times you can flash with Odin?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] King_Loki001:
Anyone if I go from oc6 to oc7 using fireflash and rom that was just added?

Do I lose all my settings if I flash OC7?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] chris1379:
Can you keep root that way?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
I don't see the point if that wasn't the case, yes
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
Always do a backup in case it doesn't stick. U may lose settings flashing the update, verses the ota Update. Anything is possible.

Have you guys had any issues with OC7 yet?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Titanium Backup reports all folders as unwriteable (both in the normal internal storage/external SD areas and in the lower level directories accessible only with root), so it can't see (let alone restore) my saved backups. Since rooted file explorers haven't encountered any issue like this (I was still able to use ES File Explorer and Root Browser to install system apps of my choosing with copy/paste/permissions), I wasn't going to report the issue until I was able to update my brother's phone and see if it had the same issue. I also haven't gotten the chance to take any logs, hopefully I get some free time to do that soon.

Otherwise no issues yet.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
I had the same problem, but I selected where my backup was stored, and it worked.

From TB, Menu > Preferences > Backup folder Location > DETECT > Whole device

then change "/storage/emulated/0/TitaniumBackup" to "/storage/emulated/legacy/TitaniumBackup"

and select OK when prompted to move the files, after that's done, try your restore!!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] King_Loki001:
Worked like a charm.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] CwalkPinoy:
oc7 not working?

Hey, I recently used this guide to get oc6 deodexed on my i537

It worked like a charm, but now that oc7 is released, I decided to flash stock and update

that worked too.

Now that you released oc7 deodexed, I decided to flash that.

It gets to the part in flashfire after it writes all the content, but then it reboots, shows the samsung splash, flashes the att splash screen for like half a second, and then goes to a black screen.

I might not have been patient enough (needed an alarm for college), but odin says removed during the flash, then says added when the phone goes to the black screen

So, right now I have ne3 stock rooted until I find out what happened there.

Flashed the rom twice with the same issue.

Is there an issue with oc7 deodexed staying on a black screen or do I need to wait more?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
As long as you are rooted on NE3, you can go straight to OC7 using flashfire. Download OC7 from the op and save it to your sd card. Go to flashfire and flash the zip. Hope this helps!

sent from my ninja star throwing i537
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] CwalkPinoy:
yep

I know how to flash it...

problem is, it didn't work for whatever reason.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
Hmm.. Worked for me flawlessly. Rooted NE3, download the rom to internal sd, installed flashfire, went to flashfire, tick flash zip/ota, selected Rom, and then ticked flash. No issues for me. Maybe try downloading again, u may have gotten a bad download? Change phone display to 10 mins to ensure u get the full download.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] wolf45801:
I'm gonna update my gfs phone to oc7 I can do that without wiping here data right?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
It should wipe the /data/ partition (user apps and their settings) automatically, so be sure to run titanium backup beforehand. It will not wipe internal storage
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] CwalkPinoy:
tried again

redownloaded the oc7 deodexed, cut pasted to external sd

put screen to 10 minutes

flashed with flashfire

got to the samsung splash screen and wouldnt reboot

took out battery, went to download mode, gonna reflash ne3

no idea what the problem is. oc6 worked flawlessly.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
How long did u wait for it to load… mine took about 10 mins or so before it booted up.

sent from my ninja star throwing i537
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
I'd also recommend saving the oc7 deodexed to internal storage, I've read so many posts about problems with working with flash fire and the external sd, I flash only from internal storage
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] wolf45801:
ok thank you ill have her backup what she wants to keep and she will have to delete crap from her internal storage she only has 878mb free how she has that much stuff is beyond me lol
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] chris1379:
Can someone please take a close listen to Pandora and other audio apps and see if you hear distortion, scratchy sound (like low sample rate) or hollow sound like the center channel is missing. Vocals sound hollow with mostly reverb. I would also be interested to know if Viper4Android works. It seemed worse with headphones via bluetooth but was also present with headphones plugged in. I can try to post a sample taken from the headphone jack. This was with OC6.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] CwalkPinoy:
hm...

guess it doesnt matter anymore.

phone is stuck in kies and it wont connect.

will try to fix it but if not this phone has taken on so much damage it could stop working soon anyways.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Don't use Kies, the only thing it's capable of is not working properly

Maybe that's the problem. I did mine through external sd, but it worked.

sent from my ninja star throwing i537
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
That's the tricky part, I did OC6 a few times through external sd without issue, but one time it failed and I got so freaked out that since then I've only flashed OC6 or OC7 through internal storage. I've seen plenty of posts on the flashfire thread where people have had issues dealing with the external sd. I get the sense it's a manifestation of FF still being very much beta, i.e. there are just random bugs that only cause problems some of the time. Just me speculating
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
I'd agree… they could have also had an extsd on the verge of being corrupt… mine would. Now when I flash anything, I strictly use internal. Just bc I know it will be there… extsd cards are so finicky, u can't trust them half the time!

sent from my ninja star throwing i537
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] CwalkPinoy:
ok

misunderstood the recovery thing when it said to use kies.

thought odin was blocked or something but its flashing ne3 again now.

will copy the thing back to internal and try again, but oc6 worked fine flashing from external deodexed and regular.

---------- Post added at 07:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------

tried flashing oc7 deodexed from internal storage and still no dice.

im currently on a black screen after flashfire did its thing and showed the samsung splash screen. then it went black.

my computer said that the phone was connected soon after that though, so not sure if i need to wait a few more minutes for the at&t splash to pop up.

been a few minutes and its still not doing anything.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
Any way u can explain the processes exactly how ur going about? Starting from NE3, stock, unrooted?

sent from my ninja star throwing i537

---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 PM ----------

Also, after flashing and starting up on NE3, are u skipping setup? If not, try that and only connect your wifi.

sent from my ninja star throwing i537
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] CwalkPinoy:
process

so... just finished trying this again. thought the problem was that i didn't use reboot mode as download, but it never rebooted into download mode when i selected that.

so, what i do is put phone in download mode, open odin, put all the items from the ne3 package

flash those, do full setup with wifi and google play, but skip att locker and samsung accounts.

i download flashfire and supersu, go to towelroot and download that

run towelroot, root

run supersu, update binaries and disable knox

while disabling knox, i exit out of the app, restart it and spam the refresh button until it crashes

i reopen supersu and disable knox again successfully.

i go to settings and set the screen time to 10 minutes

i then open flashfire, tap the ota/zip option, currently using external sd card because the other one on internal gets deleted after the flash leave all things unchecked and then set it to download on reboot

i hit flash, it shows the stuff being unpacked, and goes into the terminal window showing me that it is writing all the files.

it finishes, and shows the samsung splash screen, but then goes to a blank screen.

i dont unplug my phone if that helps.

---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------

it still gets to the samsung splash screen and just goes black. doesnt boot into download mode.

so i tried just undoing the battery and going into download mode, but then it flashes and shows the samsung splash screen and goes black again.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
I never used supersu. I rooted with towelroot, installed flashfire, then download the rom to internal sd. After it's finished, I opened flashfire, left it on internal and picked my file. Once it's loaded, don't change anything and hit flash.

sent from my ninja star throwing i537
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] CwalkPinoy:
how did you grant flashfire superuser access?

did you flash the bootloader?

oh, and i cant skip the setup because its the at&t setup you can't skip.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
Yes. I flashed all 4 files in NE3. I have at&t, and I've skipped all the setup options except wifi.

Flashfire did not ask for supersu that I remember…

Also, are u leaving auto mount unchecked?

sent from my ninja star throwing i537
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] CwalkPinoy:
hm...

yes i am leaving auto-mount unchecked.

will try without superuser request.

edit: when opening flashfire, it says please update supersu to v2.40 or newer.

i am rooted with towelroot on ne3.

do not know what you mean by skipping at&t setup, but I am using ne3 stock unrooted. There is no way to skip through the setup.

---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------

might wanna check oc7 and how the flashing should work, because I cannot flash it for the life of me.

Seriously, there has to be some other thing with this because it just doesn't work.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
ok, so I went back to read the op....

on step #5, it says to change reboot to download, but I didn't do that. After I selected 0c7 and tapped the check, I scrolled down and hit flash. I didn't change anything in flashfire. I don't know why you're having so much trouble though... if you try it that way, I hope it works... if not, I have no other options, i'm out of suggestions...
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] CwalkPinoy:
no idea either.

it just wont flash. didnt even do the download mode first few tried but the freaking rom wont boot.

Are you sure your OC7 download isn't corrupted? Maybe redownload it and make sure the MD5's match.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] paleh0rse:
Has anyone on ANY Samsung device figured out how to patch for Stagefright without updating to OC7?

I really don't want to have to manually restore my entire setup... I'm just lazy like that these days. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Groovu:
MF2 to OC7

Uhh, I think I messed up. I tried to go from MF2 straight into OC7. I followed the directions in the OP and when the phone rebooted, I goth the "System software not authroized by AT&T has been found" screen. It also says "SECURE FAIL: KERNEL" in red at the top left corner.

Did I mess up by trying to go from MF2 into OC7?

I guess I'll try going to NE3 with Odin. Hopefully that'll fix it. Or should I try to reflash MF2?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Yes. Do NE3 first, then OC7
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] CwalkPinoy:
md5

checked my first attempt's rom, and the md5s match.

still trying to figure out why it would just not boot into download mode after flashing...

---------- Post added at 02:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

can anybody confirm that oc7 deodexed works?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
I'm running oc7 deodexed with xposed.

I didn't change anything in ff to go into download mode though. I left settings the way they were and just flashed. Worked fine.

sent from my ninja star throwing i537
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Groovu:
I'm having similar problems as [MENTION=6889177]CwalkPinoy[/MENTION] now.

I tried to go MF2 to OC7, no dice. Odin'd NE3, rooted, installed supersu and flashfire. Flashfire'd OC7, seemed to flash successfully, but did not boot into download. It just showed the Samsung boot then a black screen. After that I opened download myself and odin'd the OC7 bootloader, but still same results. Samsung boot screen, followed by a black screen.

I'm on my third round of installing and trying odexed OC7. I must be doing something wrong. If anything, I'm gonna download deod OC7 and see if that changes anything.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Try doing NE3 > OC6 > OC7, that's worked for me multiple times. After flashing with flash fire, at no point is it supposed to open download mode or recovery mode.

And when I've installed deodexed OC6 and deodexed OC7; for both the first boot took longer than 10 minutes. I'm not saying, gee, it took so long, felt like forever. I'm saying I kept my eye on the clock and for both it took actually more than ten minutes for the first boot up to complete. Done this successfully numerous times on several Galaxy S4 Actives (mine, my brother's, a friend's, and old partially broken one I use for testing purposes).

Also in superSU settings, disable (uncheck and reboot) the option called, "Mount namespace separation," (it's the one titanium backup usually bugs you about). FlashFire failed when I forgot to change this setting. I guess also make sure USB debugging and mock locations are enabled in Developer settings, and make sure you have busybox installed, although these shouldn't really be causing the failure
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] CwalkPinoy:
ok

lemme try this. been thinking about going to oc6 before oc7 but didnt know if i should. now's the time to check.

not sure if it was 10 minutes but it was enough for me to go from one side of campus to the other and into my computer.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Groovu:
[MENTION=5954417]thisisapoorusernamechoice[/MENTION]

I'll try OC6 to OC7.

Why does the OP say to change reboot into Download in the OP? Don't these instructions says that it will reboot into download and you need to install the bootloader?

Also just to verify about the bootscreen because maybe I am jumping the gun by not letting the phone do its thing. But you flashed deo OC7, then phone reboots, shows samsung screen, then black screen, and you waited 10 minutes and it worked normally? From the OP I was under the impression it would stay at the ATT screen while it was booting.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] CwalkPinoy:
on deod oc6 i saw the att screen instead of the black one.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
I saw the AT&T screen for over ten minutes before it finally entered the setup wizard.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] CwalkPinoy:
flashing oc6 deod now. (no idea why, i have the stock root on my sd card)

next up is oc7.

wish me luck.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:

back on ne3, let me know if you guys fix this because im done.

waiting for an actual solution before i start blowing up my phone again.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Groovu:
AYYYYYYYY

So I just tried OC6 instead, it booted into download, and I flashed the OC7 bootloader, and it actually got me through. I'm gonna try OC7 next.

Problem though, all my stuff is in Korean now (I am using a Korean telecom, but isn't there normally an option to change language in the beginning?)

edit: I hope my experience can help others. I came from a heavily modified root MF2. Tried to go to OC7, soft bricked. Then flashed NE3 with Odin, and tried odexed OC7, soft brick. Tried NE3 into OC6, worked fine. Then OC6 into deod OC7 and it works fine. Earlier while fiddling around, I got desperate and nand erased on ODIN into NE3. I didn't know what it did and after reading about it, I wouldn't suggest it to folks, but it is something I did earlier.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Switiz:
BIG EDIT

I did it.. and it was way simple that I expected..

1st I did a full wipe and install NE3 via Odin..

2nd I rooted and instead of installing Flashfire, I installed Safestrap.. rebooted in recovery and installed OC7 deodex version.

3rd It will take like 10-15 minutes to initialise, so don't worry. it will show the At&T logo and the blue notification led is pulsating

After that, you have to make the setup, and voila. It's done. you have a 5.0.1 deodex rooted rom :D. now you can install xposed framework if you wanna do some mods.. I know I will

Hey guys

I downloaded the OC6 ( tried OC7 ) odex and deodex.. installed flash fire from NE3 with root. I did everythong that it's in post 1.. After it flashed the OC6, my phone didn't entered in download mode. it just restarted and after the S4 active logo it went black... I let it like that ffor half an hour, with no results. I entered in recovery, did a wipe, but the same. just a black screen.. it appears in odin when I plug it, but that's it.

I really want to make it work, cauze I want a lollipop deodex rom for Xposed :D. So if you guys have any ideea, I'll be glad to hear it

I use a S4 active ATT ( I'm from Romania and use Telekom as a carrier ) SGH-I537
