Also worked AOK first try - just followed the instructions and all was well (except for SS, but different issue).

Been working on ROM's/FUN/ETC for almost 10 years now = following the instructions sometimes helps out!

Don't forget RTFM!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] camparks:
Correct, I don't believe they have a work around for that still. Basically, they merged NC5 flasher function into the SS app Reboot button. So, just pull up SS app and use that button to have SS start on reboot automatically. No need to use NC5 flasher on top of this newest SS, you'll be doing double work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mikeyg79:
Any idea why V3 wouldn't install? I hit reboot from FF and it starts doing it thing, but when it says extracting the rom - it doesn't seem to finished - reboots to factory.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Try a different version of flash fire. It's not the rom. Flash fire does what it wants to. Unfortunately
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mikeyg79:
Thanks. I'll try to find an older version...

Starting to not like this phone - anyone looking for one... lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biikman:
well I broke down and picked up the S7 Edge in Black. I've got to say I'm very happy with it. the curved edges took a short time to get used to with the slight warp but after a short time you don't really notice it... not a deal breaker. TouchWiz is pretty good, no hiccups or lag that I've noticed...However... I'm really missing root, and not sure if I'll be able to keep it and be stuck with stock and hope it can be rooted eventually... ..

14 days to return , probably a restocking fee. But it is growing on me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dsfjbdszfjb3:
No longer working on OF1

I tried multiple times following the instructions for OF1 exactly, hasn't ever done anything but factory reset the phone. Flashfire opens, runs a bit, after doing something with the stang5litre zip, abruptly closes, then the phone restarts, nothings changed, just the regular stock rom. No errors, nothing, just doesn't work. I tried with Flashfire from Playstore and 0.26 from Chainfire's Google+ page, both did the same thing. If I'm doing something wrong please tell me. I really want to try this.:crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Yeah, I decided on the smaller S7 myself and liking it so far. Ended up getting $200 off on the phone + $100 off on the S2 3G watch from the local Verizon store. I just couldn't resist. Still, I agree it's been a long time since I've been without root but I'm trying to cope - going to see if things like Samsung Pay can make it worth it. May see you on the other side.

A special thanks to [MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION] for his work and help. My S4 will be living on his hard work well into retirement.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Takes a little bit to get root. Just came out the 13th. Just don't take any updates. How is the battery so far? I will find out this Thurs or Friday and I will know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] i8qbert:
Make sure wipe is at the top of the list in flash fire. It defaults to the bottom and you need to drag it to the top. If it's at the bottom then it is essentially wiping the flash back to stock. Hope this helps

Fwiw I used FF .24
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mugsy77:
And don't forget to change your display timeout to 10m
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mkoyskip:
Lockscreen FYI (non-MDK)

I already knew from the thread that PIN doesn't stick but just tried password and it doesn't stick also after restart. Going to go ahead and use pattern, not sure if anybody has tried an alternative lockscreen approach...

EDIT: deleted, dumb idea:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Glasairmell:
I use the app ZUI locker to get around that problem. It has worked well for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biikman:
very happy with battery life. Can get a full day and another partial on one charge.

The charging time is very fast. this morning I was at 48% and plugged it in, was at 100% in about 40 minutes. thanks for the update reminder. I had tried the update option, glad there wasnt one.

have you decided which you are getting, the 7, or 7 edge?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
7 edge. The reg 7 is the same size as s4. Screen is just a tad bigger. Edge is comfortable in the hand ad well.

Cool. I'll know either today or tomorrow
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
For those choosing to get the S7 / edge, it's important knowing: http://www.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7-bootloader-lock-explained-you-might-not-get-aosp-after-all/

This is really the main reason in upgrading for me. Why upgrade to a lockdown phone. If nothing changes in 3 months, I'll be switching to Project Fi more likely.

Hect, my friend is still clinging to his Note 4 which has no root yet...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Seen this I don't care anything about aosp. It will get root just like all the others .... S4 rooted s5 rooted s6 rooted. Same will happen to s7. May not be able to get aosp. But I don't like it anyways. All you need is root to flash. [emoji89] [emoji106] Google system less root

Method for using kernel modules on OF1 is now available!

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/development/oc1-unsigned-kernel-modules-t3321587
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] psu90:
I've had luck with reflashing just the kernel that is loaded stock with the ROM. I have 2 S4s mine & my daughter's. 1 it then works after setting the pin the first time. The other I have to set the pin 3 times back to back before it will stick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
[MENTION=5126185]psu90[/MENTION] that's weird. Just shows you that each phone reacts differently
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mkoyskip:
Disclaimer: I'm exhausted (as many others are I'm sure these days) so didn't spend as much time on the following as I would have preferred...

* Tried the ZUI but couldn't figure out how to set just a simple PIN lock, only picture/pattern locks.

* Did try setting the PIN 3x in a row but didn't work (now I'm guessing that you may have meant that I should set the PIN+reboot x3?) I didn't reflash the kernal so I'll go ahead and try this also on Mon.

* Installed SlideLock temporarily.

EDIT: something just occurred to me (it has been many, many years since I've done any sort of coding at all BTW) I thought that non-mdk users couldn't change the kernal?

* Yet, I am flashing the SS kernal each time after I boot into SS

* Not looking for a tutorial (especially since this is not the correct thread to ask for this) but just some simple insight perhaps - does this mean I can try the other posted kernals?

* Or is the SS just some sort of virtual kernal or such to 'trick' the rom?

As always, thanks to all.

PS: just downloaded stang5litre Ultra Note5

Looking forward to this on Mon when I have the time:D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
The article was more then just about aosp. Correct me if i'm wrong, S6 doesn't have root, same with Note 4 so... My understanding is, root is the first step towards flashing, not all that is needed. I talking specifically Verizon variants of phones of course. I just know you have plans for what to do with the S7, it shouldn't be ignored what Samsung and Snapdragon are doing with the carriers to stop the revolution! lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Here you go

What kind of battery life is everyone getting on v3? My phone doesn't last a full day and I have it in airplane mode while I'm currently deployed. Might try [MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION] Ultra or go back to v2.

Wireless charging has to be built in. You would need to by a kit for you battery and case for that

Having trouble flashing this rom. I'm new to the S4 but have been flashing other phones. I have OF1 firmware, rooted. I have Super SU installed and up to date prior to flashing. Flashed all three items using fireflash in the correct order, moving wipe up to the top. It flashed, rebooted and went through the setup wizard but its still the stock rom as far as I can tell. I've tried it twice now with the same results. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kevinp13:
I had the same issue

What version of Flashfire are you using? I noticed that in one of the newer versions of FF you have to make sure that the Mount/system read/write box is checked off when you add the rom to FF. The first time I tried to flash the rom I left that unchecked and it booted to the stock rom but when I checked off that option for the rom only then it booted into stang's rom

hey!

my phone is root everything fine but when i try flash fire it doesnt matter is it room or kernel it goes black i was even waiting about 20-25 min nothing happening i just pull out the battery and the flash fire did not do anything can someon pls help asap ? :( im new here ... and i am on OF1 looks like i cant do any **** with this phone ?? : x
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Flash fire moved wipe to the end on you. It does that automatically and you have to move it back. At this point you need to Odin back to of1 re root and install flash fire and try again . Make sure wipe is at the top before you hit that lightning bolt.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samsung love:
hey sir thanks for the fast reply i appreciate your help ... also first i did not mention that after the battery is out that i rebot on my normal rom and nothing happend not even a break after using every time ff this doesnt happend only in your rom also everything i want to flash same think it goes blank and it does nothing i did every step you said yeah i did ... second ... do you mean i should factory reset everything and install the firmware root again and try to flash again with the wipe on the first place ofc ... ???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] coreygator:
Thanks for the reply.

Flashfire 0.28. Mount / system read/write is checked. I tried it again and watched it flash. It shows wiping and then installing the rom. Then reboots. It only took about 30 seconds to 'install' the rom. Same results though. Still on stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Ya that's wrong takes longer than 30 sec. I have another version of FF that I know works . Would you like to try it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
What version of Flash Fire you using? And what bootloader you on? The rom has been tested extensively as you can see, so it's deff not the rom. But I should be able to get you on it. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samsung love:
hope so :o also I tested few versions of flash fire (older versions) thought it would work and the latest version 0.28 i am... and the read/write box was checked off I tried many ways still stick with this... strange as far I press ok to start flashing it comes like a loading screen and goes blank after it happens nothing nothing pops up not even a singel restart ... I'm sure this install is not more than 2-3 minutes right? I have not much information about this phone as I bought him on 5.0.1 sadly... also baseband I545VRUGOF1 build number LRX22C.I545VRUGOF1 hardware version I545.07 that's it I guess? :o:o i woult really appreciate your help to fix this ... as i cant live with this stock rom like that > . <
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
OK so your bootloader is OF1 . So you need to follow those instructions . Which instructions did you use ? 1st off .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mugsy77:
Did you change your display to 10m instead of 30s? Also, I believe I read that v28 FF requires SuperSU of v2.70?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samsung love:
dont worry i know what i am doing :D ofc the OF1 instructions instalation i downloaded the non MDK and so on ... i did every step ..., so you have other instruction for me ? i have no idea what to do more i think about to hard reset the phone or reflash the firmware and try it again what you think about ?? ....

---------- Post added at 11:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 PM ----------

thanks for the reply how do you mean changing the display,?? could you explain it better, maybe it would be helpful, yeah I updated the Supersu still face the same problem as I said I tried many stuffs... :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I didn't say you didn't but if you didn't know what boot loader you had then how did you know to pick OF1? Lol either way. I want you to try the version I have of FF. Also you checked md5sums

and as [MENTION=729784]mugsy77[/MENTION] said change screen time out to 10mins
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samsung love:
lel :D ... so yeah why not ... you will give me the download link here ? what you mean md5sums ?? :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mugsy77:
Under Settings and Display, change timeout to 10m or you'll hang during install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Yes I will give you the download to FF here

https://www.dropbox.com/s/z5tk1ol722mu9dz/FlashFire_0.19.apk?dl=0

Or this one as well

https://www.dropbox.com/s/lc5k1oxe79f93ad/FlashFire.v21.apk?dl=0

Md5 sum is to make sure you got all of the file and it matches the one from my afh. Version 19 was the best I think so far of FF but I don't use FF.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samsung love:
Mhh, I don't think that would be the solution because it is not even installing either... its just disappearing blank, nothing in another case the installation will not take 1 hour right or I am wrong should I wait more than 30 min I don't think so as far I see every user install it for more than 2-3 minutes :crying: :crying:

---------- Post added at 12:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 AM ----------

Strange, I tried both of them and when I try to open them instant close from alone I can't even enter it ??? :confused::confused: what can be the solution for this i am the only one ?? btw does it have other way to flash custom roms ? i hope the devs here will be more in comon for the 5.0
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
If you have tried everything(md5s match etc ) and you are confident you did it right then I would suggest a Odin back to of1 and re root and install ff and try again. That way you have a clean slate
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samsung love:
i am about to do still dont think that woult be a solution but ... how can i check the md5s does it match or not ?? which bootloader does your s4 have ? OC1 ??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
If your not gonna listen is there a reason I should answer ?? I'm on MDK. I made the rom. So I think I might know more about how to get you on it then you... no offense . But both [MENTION=729784]mugsy77[/MENTION] and myself have been giving you advice and you keep not taking it really or saying you don't think that is a solution when you don't know. [emoji782]

Google md5 checker . Pick 1...

And compare it to my afh

App Samsung phone info tells you your bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samsung love:
relax man don't get it wrong, I appreciate your helps I did not mean in that way it was logical to me ofc you guys know best I follow it .. Any way, I down the md5 checker, but I have no idea what to do with it... and I don't full understand what you mean to compare with your afh ? even how .. ? im about to flash the firmware ...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] psu90:
The only real difference I know is that my daughter's phone initial ROM was pre-MDK. Mine was originally an MDK phone. I got mine just after the first post MDK update got pushed. I made the poor guy at Verizon go through all his stock until he found a MDK phone. I had to tell him how to tell the difference by just looking at the box. I got the last one in the store.[emoji2]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samsung love:
no result still the same tried everything .... any hope for me ? :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] coreygator:
You have to Odin the OC1 kernel first. Then root with Wondershare. Then install Super SU and update binary. Reboot. After that all I did was use the 0.24 FF. Wipe and flash all three items listed in the OP, making sure wipe is at the top.

Kingroot did not work for me.

Still didn't work. I had to reflash the rom (for other reasons) and Viper installed with no problems this time. I didn't update busybox or Super SU this time, maybe that helped.

(I did try to search but only searched viper 4 android instead of just Viper.)

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dsfjbdszfjb3:
WORKED!

I followed some of the additional instructions posted after my original comment and now I'm on the Stang5litre boot.

So far as I can tell, all I did wrong the first time was not use FlashFire 0.24. That should really be added to the original post. Also, I might not have Odined the OC1 kernel before I tried the first time.

Time to play around.
