Aannnnnnnd I returned the G4 for a galaxy s6. The premium build of the s6 just makes me feel like I got my money's worth.. That and root availability. I will probably end up selling the s6 if LG and Google release an updated Nexus 5. I'm sure I'll be back. Farewell G4 owners

BTW, LG is sending me the 32gb promo with extra battery and battery charger. If anyone is willing to trade me a QI charger I'd be willing to make a deal!

Couldn't find one that fit my phone with the case (Ballistic) I had on it, so when I found out I had access to a 3d printer at work, I knew what I had to do. This was the 4th print, and if I was more anal, I'd make some more tweaks, but overall I love it.

Used pingpong to root. Any way to install a new rom without tripping knox?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] grneyez:
You can't install a custom Rom without installing a custom recovery. Once you install a custom recovery this will trip Knox. So, either leave it rooted with the stock rom or install TWRP and trip Knox and install a custom rom. Those are your options.

Hi,

New to the forums and did a little snooping before posting. I recently bought a z1c australian stock and it came rooted and with the bootloader unlocked. I don't have the original DRM keys nor the TA backup. Is it still possible for me to relock the bootloader? I can't seem to update my phone via PC companion without locking it.

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fz2:
Download Flashtool it lets you relock your phone
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mirhawk:
Yes, you can re-lock the bootloader, but Your DRM keys are lost unfortunately. As said in earlier post, you can use flashtool to do so. Also, there is a thread which helps You get back some of the features provided by DRM keys, although do note it does not restore DRM keys. You can find the thread here.

Unless something happened in the last five days that I missed, there is no root method yet.

Your options are limited to installing a Safestrap-compatible ROM that is pre-rooted, or rolling back to Kit Kat and going the keeproot route.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sac02:
I haven't done it, but I've spent probably 12 hours reading here on XDA to prepare for my attempt to start using custom ROMs on my AT&T GS4, so I'm sure of the process in theory only.

Basically you use Odin to revert your phone back to KitKat, root that, then upgrade to Lollipop keeping root. No way yet to root Lollipop directly.

Maybe I can even download all the files and put them in one big zip? "All you need to root AT&T SGS4 in one place"?

If you're on that, I assume your bootloader is unlocked which you can flash any rom.

Case closed
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tommo123:
no flashing different IMGs or whatever you extract from the rom zip?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Not needed. Kernel is flashed with the script.

Only in rare cases you need to fastboot flash either the kernel or recovery. As when something went wrong etc etc..

Yup. Do full wipe and flash away. I flashed scrubbers 5.1 rom yesterday. Everything works very smooth ;)

Note: It takes about an half hour to start phone on first boot. So don't turn your phone off. Its not in a bootloop. Just let it sit for a looong while on the first boot after flashing the rom and it will eventually start and show a setup guide.

Due to the rise of flat-screen LCD TVs and plasma TVs, and TV wall brackets, now anyone can hang their TVs on the wall. Most TVs employ a standard system created by the recording Electronics Standards Association called the VESA mount to install firmly to TV wall brackets. So, you can be released from the worries about TV wall mounts' sturdiness. The TV Wall Mounts & Brackets Reviews can approve our products' quality, since most customers gave a very high comment on the TV wall brackets at CrazySales. Never miss the high quality TV mounts using the lowest prices otherwise you'll be sorry! Shop TV Wall Brackets and mounts online at CrazySales for mounting your TV. Crazysales TV brackets is usually a good tool to aid your flat screens and save space for TV installation. Since you also have a wall mount perhaps you may perhaps make it a point prices vary significantly between different styles and brands. It has been our experience more affordable wall mounts often lack useful features that a great many high end mounts include. With that said, now we have now installed many inexpensive mounts successfully.

[Note Edge General] gadsden:
Thanks a bunch IceTwig. I got it partially working, but it hangs at clicking to start root for me. I'll need to further investigate the autoinput plugin. There is definitely a learning curve, it's like learning tasker all over again. I'll follow up again when I make more progress on it.

But what about the Xposed install you mentioned in the other thread?
[Note Edge General] IceTwig:
Add To Option #4 on the Task "Continue After Error"

dunno why I left that off. I was trying to make the profile work whether it was a new install or a re-install. A new install had the "NEXT" option because its listing the permissions and it wants you to scroll further.

Open Tasker, under this Profile > Root task, hit the "+" (plus sign) to add to the task, select "Plugin", select "Autoinput", pick "Action", click on the "Pencil" at the top right to edit, scroll down to "Advance" and follow the previous instructions.

[Note Edge General] dieselbuddeh:
Either my install is borked or my phone. There is no unlock screen option.
[Note Edge General] IceTwig:
It took me more than several tries to get it to work, and if I had to do it again, it would probably take me the same, not because I don't know how to do it, but with reboots, hangs and phone not doing what I want it to. Hence why instead of instructions, I made the profile. Most of the instructions are already there, and Tasker is NO easy task to get around if you are not familiar with it. Hope that makes sense.
[Note Edge General] IceTwig:
Try this.......... Open Tasker, under this Profile > Root task, hit the "+" (plus sign) to add to the task, select "Plugin", select "Autoinput", pick "Unlock Screen" and replace the one at the top of the task

with this new one.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Polaroidon:
Hello everyone!

Recently got a S4 after I had 3 S4 actives fail on me. All is good and well, but the front camera has really nasty lag issues. I fixed this for the stock camera app! All I had to do was disable the night detection mode. HOWEVER, the issue is still present in Instagram, Snapchat, and probably any other third party app that uses the camera. I did loads of research and only found stuff posted here and elsewhere from around 2 years ago, none of which have any sort of solution listed, it's just a bunch of people spouting out, "Same issue here!" or "My phone is fine!" etc.

Anybody have this issue and fix it, or encounter anything about it? It can be determined it isn't a hardware issue, as the default camera app works fine.

EDIT: Also want to note that the issue is only present in low-light situations. The specific issue is that it appears as though the image feeding to the screen is being smeared around when the objects in frame move, or if the camera pans or tilts.

Thanks for the time anybody takes to read this!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Xperia Player:
I picked this phone up for $50. The first thing I did before buying it was check the IMEI. Swappa said it was ready for activation and not blacklisted. I check most of the stickies and Q&As, but I just want to make sure I don't jump the gun and do something stupid. So I guess this is where my questions fall into place.

1. I want to activate this on Metro PCS, Is this even possible? I have an Exhibit on their network but it takes a full sized SIM. If so, what do I need and how?

2. I want to unlock the bootloader and the SIM slot. Some people have said the Verizon s4 is already SIM unlocked but I honestly couldn't find a straight answer, and since the SIM card I have for my Exhibit is full sized, I can't test it.

Actually, I guess those were my only questions. If you need any additional information from me about the phone just let me know. The last phone I messed with was an Xperia Play and by the looks of it, it's much easier to work with compared to the s4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Illogi.xbone:
For one you cannot unlock the bootloader. For $50 though I would take it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Xperia Player:
Why am I not able to unlock the bootloader?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Illogi.xbone:
There is no method available and Verizon will not do it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SDRebel:
You can use it on metropcs by simply inserting the sim and putting in the APN settings, but beware that you "as is" the phone has lte/cdma option or gsm/umts or global. For lte on tmobile network, you have to select lte/cdma BUT you only get LTE, no 2G or 3G, so basically no calls, just data , as if it were a tablet. With the other 2 modes, (one may work better than the other) you can get HSPA+ and 2G, etc. voice calls work fine and data works (assuming apn settings are correct), but you will not get LTE.

there's possibly a way to unlock more bands and options, through the method in this link ( http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059 ) but besides root you need a custom ROM. I have root, but I'm trying to figure out if I can do a custom ROM on 4.4.2. i know we cannot unlock the bootloader, but it seems some people do have custom ROMs, but not sure if I can get there (safestrap? flashing through odin?).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Illogi.xbone:
They use safestrap for anything above MDK and can only use compatible roms. MDK is the only version that can have a custom recivery and could flash ROMs like CM 12.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SDRebel:
Thanks. could you link to the link for safestrap? when you talk about compatible roms, is that only stock ROMs with small modifications?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Illogi.xbone:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=56030788#post56030788

Most ROMs are yeah TW based and have mods.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Xperia Player:
I have 4G LTE on my s4 along with voice and text. Is there any need for me to try and enable more bands at this point?

(I cut down my sim to a micro so now it fits)

How do I tell if I'm on 'MDK'? The guy I got it from barely did anything with the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SDRebel:
Enabling more bands would help to get better reception, but if it's working goof enough for you. ..then maybe no need
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Illogi.xbone:
GO into settings and see which baseband you are on if it says anything but MDK for the last 3 you cannot install a custom recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Go to settings - About device and put the last three letters of the Baseband. If it is MDK, you are FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

If not, you are in a jail.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Xperia Player:
Hell I guess it wouldn't hurt to try. I'll look into later tonight along with root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Xperia Player:
Looks like FNC5 if I'm doing this correctly.

Guess that means I'm in digital prison.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Yep. Atleast you can root and use safestrap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SDRebel:
Yes you are, just like many of us if it makes you feel better.

good thing i only paid 100 for mine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Xperia Player:
Well for $50 I figured why not. Plus it's an upgrade from my old exhibit.

What's so special about MDK and why aren't we able to revert back to it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SDRebel:
I think it's like virginity :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Xperia Player:
Alright so I'll bring my phone to church, have reveren Samsung baptize it so it can become a born again virgin.

Fool proof.

It's just a firmware right? I figured someone would have cracked the code since this phone is a few years old now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Well, MDK is THE ONLY firmware that can use the Loki Doki exploit to unlock the bootloader. But thanks to Knox and Verizon, THERE IS NO WAY TO DOWNGRADE BACK. Since then, we have only been able to find root and no bootloader unlock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Xperia Player:
Thanks for all the info so far. I just finished rooting and installing busy box. Now I'm looking into safe strap so I can get a custom rom + kernel to enable more bands. Is there anything I need to know before messing with SS? I'm on kitkat 4.2.2 build NCR5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Illogi.xbone:
ONLY FLASH TOUCHWIZ KERNELS. Sorry for the caps but I don't want you soft bricking the phone ;)

Make sure to flash the right wifi modules for it. Not sure where to get them should be in the HD forums.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Xperia Player:
I'm curious, have you enabled the extra bands on your verizon s4, or anyone else here for that matter?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SDRebel:
not me unfortunately, i didn't even have root a couple of days ago :P (i had debloated without root) . I'm now going for the next step :P seems we need a custom room, not sure if one compatible with safestrap will do, sounds like ...maybe :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Illogi.xbone:
It might. Try HD or Eclipse.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Xperia Player:
I'm using hyper drive at the moment. It seems to be compatible but the tutorial doesn't seem to add up when using the s4. It tells you to change the USB settings to CP then to enable a few other things, but the problem is when you enable CP the other options it tells you to enable disappear. It's somewhat hard to explain but if you go through the tutorial you'll see exactly what I mean. And to top it all off, the thread has been locked so you can't ask questions or post at all. I encourage people to try it, but I don't think you'll get that far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Use a terminal emulator app and type the following at the prompt:

getprop ro.bootloader

The result will tell you which bootloader you have.

eg: I545-VRUAMDK is for the MDK bootloader.
