Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:

I believe I got that fixed, If you don't get a answer in a timely manner pls ping me. How to ping me [MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION] that will ping me and send me a notification. Ill be happy to help anyone as you can see in my thread.

It's absurd how much better the battery life is with Surge's kernel. I first installed it with Hybridmax and was pretty disappointed with the battery not even making me through a day. But after flashing Surge's kernel, it's at least twice as good, maybe even more. Excellent combination.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Me to. Love his Kernels. That hybridmax kernel was really the best choice at the time lol. Plus some like to use s tweaks and so fourth.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
I agree that surge's kernel is quite good (& I'm running it), but Hybridmax & Kushan both support stweaks which, if used, can provide very good battery life if that's what you're after. I have not tried doing any real comparison but agree that, with no tweaks, surge's is excellent. I tend towards something close to real stock if it's available and this fits the bill.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Let me know. That is really odd. Where you live geez. It was pretty bad in GA as well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Velocifero:
I live in Arlington, VA, right outside of DC. Hotter than normal for sure. Hopefully it thunderstorms like it's supposed to. Flashing the modem did the trick. :) And I am loving Surges kernel. It's feels like the battery is in slow motion now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Awesome!!! It makes it so much better :).. I come up to Arlington as my Dad is buried there RIP. Now i am going to look at the mods for the dark theme. I forget what page it was on and pretty sure i downloaded them and prob have them in a PM somewhere but hard to find lol.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Goaltendah30:
Hello all, long time lurker. been using the hyperdrive ROM series for S4 on verizon for a year without any issues.

Now I've been itching to have lolipop on my s4 and read through so many threads, flashing alot of different types of lolipop ROMS in XDA's S4 VZW android development. This ROM looks the most promising of all but I keep coming across a weird problem that's been driving me up the wall lately.

My issue is that Im able to upgrade to stang5litre NONMDK OC1 file without any issues on NC5 BL using the stock hybridmax kernel, but all of the members are posting that they get better battery life with surge's kernel. When I use surge's kernel, I keep getting a black screen on bootup. Safestrap disabled error message would flash once then black screen.

The method Im using is the same as the OP but instead of hybridmax kernel, I used the latest Surge's kernel on OP which gets me the blackscreen. After a while, it boots into Android Recovery. Am I doing something wrong? (NC5 Flasher into recovery, wipe everything, install stang5litre, googlie's wifi fix for OC1, latest supersu, THEN Surge's Kernel and wipe davik and cache after install)

The only way to get out of the black screen is actually use ODIN and the CustomROM_Upgrade_Lollipop_VZW_wNK4-NoSys-gogolie.tar in AP section of ODIN. I think the NC5 stock file works too but I lose root.

Any advice?

---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------

I forgot to mention that I lose wifi capabilities when I use the gogolie's upgrade .tar to fix the blackscreen
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
You are having issues because you can't flash that Kernel. That is only for MDK base. Also no need to flash gogolie's as they are already baked into the Rom. Not sure what kernel you can go to as I am on MDK using that Kernel. I am sure one of the SS/FF users can tell you which to use for non mdk.

Until then stay on the kernel it came with and you shouldn't have any issues

If you want to look for a Kernel it has to be signed by sammy from what I understood.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] beho86:
I just noticed something strange with messaging. I am getting MMS but when I open them, it's blank and it looks like a compose screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
If you've really read through many posts, custom kernels cannot be flashed with SS. The instructions in OP do not mention to flash googlie's files nor latest SuperSU. Follow the instructions exactly as they are in the OP.

Recommend searching the boards for a stock NC5 odin image to odin flash back to and starting over. It does work, I can vouch for the instructions.

Also, Safestrap is not compatibile with Lollipop. You can use the NC5Flasher.apk file by klabit87 to odin flash (without odin) down to reactivate SS but only when you're actually ready to flash something else.

Non-MDK is a pain...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Velocifero:
Dunno how old you are, but regardless, sorry to hear. RIP indeed. I've haven't been inside the cemetary yet itself (I need to), but I've driven around it quite a bit on Joint Base Fort Myer Henderson Hall that's connected to it.

I've noticed a minor flaw in Surge's awesome kernel: lack of notification LED pulsation. Not a big deal, but a nice touch that makes those lights a little less obxnoxious. I use Light Flow to manage my notifications/LED color, but there isn't an option sadly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Goaltendah30:
Thanks guys, didn't realize the custom kernels were for MDK only. Darn Verizon for giving me my phone with a locked BL. Flashed back to Hybridmax stock kernel and it's working without any issues. Just was hoping for a better battery life.

Any suggestions for themes??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
You can flash the stock OC1 kernel listed in the OP if you want to try it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I am 33. Thanks. Ya it's beautiful in there. Tbh i didn't even notice the LED not flashing gonna text myself real quick lol. When we lived in Virginia I lived on Ft. Lee ?

Edit: My Led flashes just fine. Wonder why yours didn't. Your options are checked right? (I am sure yes but had to ask)

I sent a to me and my Led flashes blue. Works while charging. Did you Wipe delvik and cache? People keep trying to flash Kernels without doing that and have issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I would flash the OC1 kernel like Neffy27 suggested. Hybridmax takes the most power. But if you tune it with s tweaks it's a little better on battery. But ya sorry Lollipop is a beast.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mochamoo:
I can vouch for that :) I forgot to wipe and ran into phone freezing issues. Working perfectly now after reinstalling surge's kernel AND wiping cache/dalvik.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Only mdk users can flash kernels. When ss users try to flash a kernel it doesn't actually flash because ss is programmed to ignore the usual ways to flash kernels.

So the reason fire black screen and not being able to boot when you try to flash any other kernel is because lollipop is trying to boot on the nc5 kernel. Ss users can ONLY use the stock OC1 kernel. That is it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Velocifero:
The LED flashes, but what I mean by pulsation is that it gradually, yet quickly lights up, then gradually, yet quickly again fades away. Not just on-off-on-off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
That's what mine does gradually the. Fades out and fades back in but like a blink but with fade.

​

I'm on the NC5 bootloader so I'm using safestrap. I wish I could get back to MDK, which would give me more options, but I've never seen a way to do that.

As far as LTE coverage, yeah in most places it's great. When I travel however, there are some areas (mostly rural) where the coverage is lacking and I need to use wifi to get a decent internet connection (for video and whatnot). Sometimes it's also the building construction. I was in Louisville last weekend, staying in a brick building and couldn't get any 4G inside; I could only get a weak 3G signal. Since my phone's wifi doesn't work, I used my tablet most of the time, but if I needed to use my phone for data, I had to go outside.

So far all I've tried is from safestrap, clearing cache, davlik cache, reflashing the OC1 firmware, plus the modem files and the kernel. When I booted up my hotspot was on. I disabled it and tried to activate wifi, the hotspot came back on. I'll try a dirty flash but I'm not expecting it to work so it looks like I'm gonna be reflashing clean later today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cicuye:
Okay, flashed this with FF in recommended order everything went very smoothly. However I have been on Samsung startup screen for almost an hour now. Procedure? Best guess? Currently I'm leaving it alone hoping it will get to setup.

I really appreciate the hard work and the collaborative effort this apparently required to pull this project together, and I mean that. You all have my undying respect and admiration. I'm hoping this will start up, if not I shall overcome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] firecodex:
Update... I tried a dirty flash but no surprisingly, it didn't work. I ended up doing a clean stock flash with ODIN, then re-rooted and reinstalled safestrap, flashed the v3 ROM and confirmed that wifi is working once again. Now I'm restoring my apps with titanium.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] daibko:
I already have OC1 nice and happy, but I was getting nowhere with the OC1 instructions (my post #4948). So I thought it wouldn't hurt to step back and use the FF instructions. I just tried what Almaretto did in post #4906 (kinda). The only thing I did differently from the picture was ordering the zips 1) OC1 Firmware BEFORE the 2) Stang5Litre Non-MDK, then the 3) kernel, then finally the 4) SSU. I noticed Almaretto ticked the cache partition wipe (something I'd not done before) so I ticked it as well. I made extra certain wipe was the first operation and

I bricked. Hard. Nothing. Battery out for 15 min before I reattempted to boot into recovery and

Still bricked. Nada.

Suggestions anyone, please, or is it time to buy another phone? Thanks for any help in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bg260:
Does your computer recognize the phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] daibko:
Yes.

Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008

under device manager.

There's a JTAG service in town I can visit tomorrow if there's no simple solution.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bg260:
Well, not sure what your device is, your signature say HTC Leo. If it's a VG S4, can't you just Odin back to stock?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] daibko:
i545. Hard brick. Does nothing. Thanks just the same.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bg260:
If you can see it in the device manager, but can't see it in Odin, It might be a driver issue. If not then it's good that you have JTAG.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] daibko:
Well, *I* don't have JTAG :) Thought I found a store that did, but I was wrong. Looks like a trip to Verizon is in store for me. If they charge too much then I'll have to suck up buying a phone. If there were significant changes since the S4 I might be excited, but I was more excited to be out of contract. Worse things in life though, eh?

Update: Verizon doesn't touch phones now for repair, especially if no warranty. Going with Ebay store while using my old LG clamshell.

I wonder if JTAG can put the old MKD ROM on it? That would be sweet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bg260:
Sorry to hear that. Maybe try to hold on to it. It may yet be brought back from the dead.

Finally

This was a long treacherous journey from Hyperdrive RLS15 (great ROM) on Jelly bean to this. If it helps anyone, I have a MacBook Pro and a 2+ year old SCH-I545 VREUMK2. Here is rough outline (no time ot post links right now):

Install VirtualBox on Mac, then install a Win7 VM. Heindall / JOdin3 etc nothing else worked. Trick is to enable USB2.0 controller and let Win7 update the root usb hub.

Install Samsung USB drivers on the Win7 VM.

On the VM set a filer to forward the USB devices to the VM. There will be 2, one for the download mode and one for the device in MTP.

Install Odin3-v3.09

Odin the full wipe md5. Yes you will be starting over so back up everything. Anything else and you will have misery.

Root with saferoot.

Install SuperSU and Safestrap

In safestrap flash the MK2 to NC5-keep-root ROM to the stock ROM slot, no wiping first!

Go to downlaod and Odin the NC5 wifi and modem md5.

KitKat is now functional.

Install flashfire

Odin the neutered OC1 md5.

Lollipop OC1 is now functional.

Install Kingroot and root

Buy Supersume and replace Kingroot with SuperSu. Flashfire will not work otherwise.

Remove safestrap recovery and disable safestrap.

Install TitamiumBackup and delete safestrap

Install Flashfire

Flash the OF1 keep root ROM

Lollipop OF1 is now functional.

Follow the OF1 instruction in post 1 of this thread. WARNING: FF tried to put the wipe step after the flash steps. Reorder if you have to. Surely this would have ended in misery.

StangROM now functional.

Give the dev some $

There are finer points here but this was the journey. Now I can get some sleep. Thanks dev for the ROM.

Asurion upgraded wife's phone to S5...Now what!

Looks like the stalwart S4 is being fazed out. Wife's phone running Stang5Liter V2 developed USB connection problems last month. Called Asurion and they sent out a refurb S4, which I promptly rooted and installed Stang5Liter again.

Well, last week the replacement S4's USB began acting up and the phone was overheating constantly. I contacted Asurion, described the problem, and they sent out a replacement which I just received.

Opened the box and what did I find? A S5!

I don't know if this is good, bad, or indifferent. I would love to install a debloated ROM like Stang's, but have no idea what the options are for this phone. Will now have to go through a whole learning curve now :crying:

My own S4 is still going strong and Intend to keep it that way! Anyone have any pointers/observations on the S5?

If you have xposed installed, download the nosafevolumewarning module. I use it and it works well with this rom.

And researching this thread I can't verify xposed comes with this ROM (I'm guessing not) or if it is even possible with this device. I'm thinking the risk is high to just try it, I've been through heck jsut ot get to this point I really don't want to screw it up and start over.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Krog18:
Well there's always risks, but this rom is deodexed and compatible with xposed if you flash the correct version.

If you decide to do it, flash

Curious about this ROM.

i was tired of not being able to get xposed to work correctly even with you deodexing it. it seems whatever app had a lib folder with it would crash and not open. thats what happened with google drive like the other member said it kept crashing. all apps with the lib folder would crash like youtube or even some downloaded from the market. theres that and your rom was loaded with way more features. i was real interested in it so i didnt think there was any difference between postpaid and prepaid so i tried it and got the brick. i went ahead and ordered a riff box kit to attempt a repair but to answer what my phone registers when its plugged in it says "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM8)"

your still welcome to try and get me a debrick file for prepaid though cause it shows no way online how to build one though some warn that as of the lollipop update it doesnt work anymore cause of something about more security. worth a shot though i guess?

Wouldn't flashing the oc1 firmware and the oc1 SS kernel make my phone on nk1 go to oc1 and I would no longer be able to use Roms for nk1? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
No. You will still be able to downgrade.

I did it too many times to count and was always able to Odin back to nc5 when necessary.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 90c4:
Thanks, link worked the next day. Something wasn't agreeing with my phone though - did a wipe and flashed and it never left the bootup screen. I'll stick with Hyperdrive for now I guess
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Did you flash the oc1 firmware zip as well?

To be on any lp rom you have to have the oc1 firmware.

It does not upgrade your bootloader so you can still go back to kk if you choose.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 90c4:
Ah, I did not. I was under the impression that it would remove my MDK and kill my bootloader. Incidentally, I tried to install CM13 as well and that worked but I couldn't make calls - and if I called my cell from the house, the phone would reboot. Was that a similar issue and would the same firmware help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
I am not sure. [MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION] can chime in as he had the mdk phone when testing.

I would confirm with him before going further. But the oc1 firmware does not contain the aboot file
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
So what's going on here? I am very fluent with MDK. Let me know where you are and what the issue is atm. I can get you where you want to go. With MDK you don't flash update zip.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 90c4:
Thanks. Here's the deal - I have an MDK phone that I bought used and already rooted with Hyperdrive. I've flashed updates but I've never used Odin and am nervous about switching firmware to OC1 if I can't easily switch back, assuming I want to go back to Hyperdrive. If I "upgrade" to OC1, I want to make sure my phone is still MDK and also that I can get back to Hyperdrive with 4.4.2 KitKat. I'm new to this and hesitant to brick my phone or end up with a rom I'm not as wild about.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
My rom doesn't update your bootloader [emoji3] [emoji106] so you will still be on whatever base your on. Can you download Samsung phone info for me and screen shot it the bootloader. It will tell you exactly what your on. Only reason I am asking this is Because don't want you to soft brick. Which is still a easy fix for MDK.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
There's a difference between bootloader and firmware. Only the official updates will change your bootloader.
