after flashing the OC1 kernel, everything was fine until I hit the home screen, and a bunch of the samsung apps started crashing, for example s-note,s-sync,and s-contacts all just stopped
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EdgardoSchiffer:
No, I didn't readed your post(neither the thread) I saw some post on Downgrade OF1 to OC1 theories, were they write things about kernel and root, so I decided to try by myself and finally got root on my S4, but its nice you thought about that!

Wifi Issue On OC1 Stang rom

Hey,

Can you please tell me what the fix is for the wifi not being able to turn on?

---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 PM ----------

Where did you find the wifi fix kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Anybody else needing a fix for wifi should read [MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION] OP for his rom.

It is included in his install instructions for OF1 as well as in the install instructions in the albe rom port.

Also so you guys are clear the zip includes the OF1 wifi modules and the OF1 kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ell1234:
Nice, it worked great, but I'm trying to unlock wifi hotspot tethering on verizon with I545_OF1_TetherAddOn.zip using flashfire, but it wants to reboot to cwm or twrp recovery to install it. Anybody know how to enable hotspot tether? I have OF1 on now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PalmCentro:
Flashfire doesn't use any custom recovery....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lungmanvictor:
You are the bomb now maybe I can figure out why my phone will not send text messages. Huge thanks to [MENTION=4168602]klabit87[/MENTION] for letting us be free from the **** company Verizon. I am on T mobile now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Thanks. I believe [MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION] has seen this issue before also.

I'm sure he will chime in sometime.

I was Already on OC1, so i decided to give try to wondershare, it worked fkin BRILIENTLTY! WOHOOO! Thanks have been waiting since got phone (2 weeks before) thanks alot!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PalmCentro:
On OC1 you could of used kingroot the last 2 weeks :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
NP. 1st you have to get root. You need root to be able to change it out and set permissions for it. Have you tried to root with the new method? Have to be rooted before I can get you any further.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lungmanvictor:
I had the OF1 update on my phone and last night I was able to flash the OC1 with ODIN. I thought I was rooted when I did this. Thats was my first post from last night thanking for the OC1. I thought that was rooting the phone. Was I mistaken? I used a few root checkers and they said I had no access to root. So my question really should be.. Did I flash back to OC1 now I have to find a rooting program and then I can download a t mobile mms.apk. Is this correct? Yes I am so very new at this but willing to learn. Vic

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dhench66:
First time poster but I wanted to share my first experience of rooting my SCH-I545 with the OF1 Firmware. I downloaded the OF1, OC1 kernels & Odin3 after backing up my data. I set up Odin3 and put my phone in Download mode and then connected the phone to my PC running Win10 pro. I had to do this several times because it kept saying it failed! I had to keep trying using different USB ports and finally (maybe the 10th try or so) it worked using one of my USB-2.0 ports. When it finally passed I rebooted my phone and checked the Baseband version and even though I flashed the OC1 file it still said it was the OF1? Not quite sure the deal there. As a first timer I found a video on YouTube helpful but I can't post it since I'm new here.

After success flashing the firmware I immediately jumped into MobilGo and performed the OneTouch Root and again I had to try a couple different USB ports, this time was able to use one of my 3.0 ports to get it to work. I downloaded Root Checker once I was able to bootup, I ran the test and it said I did not have root access. But I ran the test again and this time it said I did?

Once I was up and fully running again I was getting the triangle warning that people here were saying, so I flashed back to OF1 Firmware and it went away. So far I have no other issues to report so all is well in the rooted word for me!

Morale of my story is that if you are determined to root you SCH-I545 running OF1, don't give up! It may take a few tries and some scary moments for some of us but if you keep working at it you will have success:good:

Anyway...thanks to [MENTION=5487429]Edgardo_Uchiha[/MENTION] for this gem of a post and I look forward to unleashing the true power of my S4!!

Hope this helps someone the way all of your posts have helped me.:victory:

No Windoze Available

Hi, I need to get this phone rooted (mainly to change a setting in /system), but I dont have Windoze. I can flash kernels with heimdall (I've done it many times on samsung phones), but I don't know what to do about this mobileshare thingy. Maybe I can modify kingroot in some way. I just need your advice here. I have GNU/Linux systems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] whowatchlist:
I'm not sure if this applies, but can you use wine?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] apexofservice:
I'm going to try. The installer gave some errors to the terminal during the installation, but yet finished with "success". I need to flash the kernel now with heimdall and then I'll see if this mobileshare thingy will start up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] apexofservice:
Many errors from wine when trying to run this mobileshare thingy. I have to admit that I'm not terribly surprised as I've never really found wine to work very well. I don't blame wine, I'm sure that the programs themselves are the problem. Anyway, if anyone has any ideas about how to root this i545 on OF1 firmware without Windoze, I'm all ears!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] courtneyismichael:
help me

Everything worked great! Thanks. I did the debloater and I didn't realize it deletes the music player. How do I go about get that back. Ive tried installing the app from my S3 and tried things online. Nothing is working. I think the SecMediaProvider is missing too. Any help would be great. I'm stressing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] viktorahlstrom:
I'm waiting to see if there's a method without Windows, I'm on GNU/Linux. Any help is greatly appreciated - I've tried wine, and VM's won't work. Anything without windoze, I'm all ears as well.

Can someone tell me if I need to be hooked to the Internet for wondershare to install on my computer?? I've tried 3 computers and I click install and it says installing please wait 0% finished, and that's all it does it never installs on the computer I'm stumped

Download it from their website.

I also noticed that it works best on windows 10
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skitsofrantik75:
im having a lot of trouble here. I know this should be easy to do with the way the work was written and explanations on what to do. I know the problem is me.

I downloaded the OC1 just fine

I downloaded Odin 3

when I try to install odin it says it cannot be opened I guess because it is a zip file??

I want to root my s4 very badly and this is the chance to do it. But I just cant get past trying to get odin .

Listen guys I know Im a newb and don't anything, so I need some real help here.

Does the phone have t be connected to the computer all the time??

Please help

Please forgive my newbness I know it is frustrating for you guys that know a lot about this stuff, to have us noobs come in and start asking a bunch of questions that we should know the answer to. I'll admit I don't belong here, your guys are miles above my head and I have a hard time understanding some of this stuff and I have to have it explained really well. The OP did a wicked cool job of doing this post and everything was going fine till I got stuck with the whole odin thing. And I thanked him for it. But this is the only place to get help in doing this type of thing. So please bear with us on some of the stuff that we don't know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skitsofrantik75:
I am having no luck at all. Since I apparently cant read English and do this. Is there a video I could follow, could someone put something up on you tube. Id be willing to pay whomever for their time, because I know there is a lot of work in this and the videos as well. The post is very well written, and gives very specific instructions, and I actually could understand and do some of it. Im just confused on every level. How much of it needs to be on the computer, how much needs to be on the phone, when do I plug the phone in. I hate to let something get the better of me, but this time there is something im missing.

Seriously there is a monetary incentive, I'll pay someone. Not hundreds of dollars or thousands of dollars. just be reasonable

I want my phone rooted so bad and I HATE this has gotten the better of me. But there is something im just not getting.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] whowatchlist:
XDA isn't about money. :p

Before someone creates a video, can you answer these questions.

Did you get to unzip and open odin?

If yes, were you able to flash the kernel?

If yes, did you download the free trial of wondershare mobilego(in the op and on their website)?

If yes, did you get "success" after pressing the root button in mobilego?

If yes, do you see Supersu in your apps?

If yes, did you try a root checker app?

With the answer to these questions, I or someone else can easily help you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EdgardoSchiffer:
Someone posted a very specific guide of this method, you should read it [FULL TUTORIAL] How to Root OF1

Hope it helps you! :)

PSI: I tried to answer your pm but seems like XDA didn't send it, sorry about that, I was thinking to make a video but I¨had to replace my Logic Board due to some hardware issue, so actually I'm running 4.4.2, btw I can help you (if needed) with PC(flashing kernel) steps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skitsofrantik75:
Listen dude I know it isn't about money that was just me stressing out I guess. I hope no offense was taken cause there was surely none meant.

Okay on with the show

1. no and yes. I was not able to unzip (even though I have 7zip on my computer, yes I did get to open odin.

I do have wondershare on my computer.

since I didn't have the kernel I wasn't able to get success after pressing the root button

I Know what supersu and root checker are but I don't have them on my phone.

Truly thank you for your help.

I don't think this makes a huge difference, but you might need to unzip and run as admin. I decided to make a video. Consider it done by tomorrow, got work now. ;)

Viewing it in youtube makes the watermark more bearable. I will get a more complete one once i go back to OF1 and backup. The finished one will hopefully have no water mark. :)

BTW: I am on windows 10, but I did it the first time in widows 7, although it shouldn't matter

I forgot to add that you need usb debugging https://www.kingoapp.com/root-tutorials/how-to-enable-usb-debugging-mode-on-android.htm

Wireless Tether

I had an S4 that I rooted using the method by muniz_ri but earlier this week I managed to back over it with my truck (long story). I used your method to root my replacement OF1 S4 and it worked perfectly (Thanks). I want to get my free wireless tether working. I have installed Flashfire. Can I just flash I545_OF1_TetherAddOn.zip from muniz_ri [How-To] Update to I545_OF1 - 5.0.1 and KeepRoot or will this cause a problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cdeleoxda:
won't roll back to oc1

I'm having a little trouble getting this root method to work. I've tried to odin the kernal 0c1 that is linked at the start of this thread. Odin says it's successful and the phone reboots and loads fine. but upon going into about phone I see that of1 is still listed as the baseband version and the build number. I've tried different usb ports different pc's ect. still can't get it to load. even though it didn't update I still gave wondershare a shot and it failed to root. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Chris
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pateldhruvik@gmail.com:
You have downgraded it but still it will show of1 just root it via wonder share mobile go it will work

---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 PM ----------

If you have rooted then install flash fire to flash it I used it worked for me . I have tethering. On but if you can help me with the sms issue it would be great
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cdeleoxda:
I did try with wondershare mobile go and it connects to the phone and tries to root but fails every time. Also I'm getting the unauthorized actions have been detected. I didn't worry to much about this figuring when I flashed back to of1 it would fix it but I'm not sure if it has something to do with not being able to get root.

thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pateldhruvik@gmail.com:
Ya you can flash of1 back after root is complete.when you are using Mobile go make sure you have a good Internet and disable your Antivirus and network shield no body has specified that I had the same problem my anti virus was blocking mobile go from getting it's files.

Now I can sent text message from samsung galaxy s4 sch-i545

Hello, thank you so much Edgardo_Uchiha on xdadevelopers . After I root my cellphone per his instructions, I downloaded the Advanced Signal Status APP from the Google store (FREE). I was able to change the SMSC number to our carrier Consumer Cellular. We were finally able to clear out all of the Verizon default. Now I have full function of sending messages.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] schultz915:
so I'm currently in the wondershare app doing the one click root. How long does it take to root the phone? It has been saying "getting root access, please wait" for about 20 minutes now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skitsofrantik75:
If I may as I'm no expert and probably need to let someone else answer. Is your phone connected to mobile go? I slipped up once and had a similar problem, what i did was close out of wondershare disconnect from my computer, reconected to the computer and then opened up wondershare the little manage window pooped up in thelower right corner and then it connected with wondershare. Hit the one click root button and off it went.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] schultz915:
I got it to work! I'm fully rooted! Now does anyone know of a way I can change the SMSC number? Dialer codes have been disabled by verizon and I have my phone running on AT&T's network and I cannot send texts.

It worked like a charm on mine as well. There's a full tutorial on it on here. I think the user who posted it is theguyawesome search him. If that's not it I'll try to find the link I used
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EdgardoSchiffer:
I don't think that's the problem, when I updated my device before doing this guide, I used smartswitch to update it, and I didn't have any problems with wondershare, maybe you can try another usb cable or usb port (or even another PC)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tdct12:
| got it rooted now. I reflashed with Odin and used a different computer. No idea which one was the fix. I didn't consider the computer as a culprit cuz I rooted with wonders on that same computer before.

are you still on the OC1 Kernel or where are you at? SuperSU installed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spot123a:
sms problem

I have supersu, and I have rooted it. I am not sure which one I am oc1 or of1 on my phone it says of1 but i followed the directions to root it by flashing oc1 on to it. I can flash of1 back on to it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
ok so you should have oc1 on it kernel wise . Look under about phone and see what it shows for the kernel just to be sure.

Also you need to get Flash Fire
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spot123a:
kernal version is 3.4 baseband version is still of1. I already updated to of1 earlier before i saw this forum then i followed it to root the device. I can just reflash it again what should i do after i get flash fire
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
after you get Flash Fire and you have verified you have root you can install the rom of your choice that is OF1 compatible.;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spot123a:
Ok thanks do you have any recomendations for an of1 rom? do you know if any work work for text?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
You just need to swap out the sms apk for text with the stock one from your carrier . But you can flash [MENTION=4168602]klabit87[/MENTION] port of [MENTION=5403589]Albe95[/MENTION] s6 port, you can also flash my rom as well. But you have to follow the instructions to a tee:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spot123a:
OK thanks, just wondering so i down load flash fire on my phone then i download one the roms and if im using yours i should click on ofc. and whats the difference between mdk and non mdk? also what does apk stand for and where do i change that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
apk is just another word for app as they are built in that format. MDK is for those with unlocked bl or work around i should say as we can flash custom kernles. Your non MDK only difference is the kernel. You should click on OF1 installation instructions/:) What carrier again sorry answering pm's
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spot123a:
I am on tmobile and i am not sure where to find their apk for sms. When i find it where do i put it ? Sorry i am not that good code.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
give me a few. Find the rom you want and go ahead and flash it. I will download a rooted t mobile rom and get you the apk/sms app. You will have to set permissions unless you need me to make a flashable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spot123a:
Ok thanks a bunch how do i set the permissions?Also can i use odin? it seemed to work when i rooted the device. Or is flash fire more preferable
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Flash Fire. You need to download a root browser . A lot of people use es3 . Type that in and it will pull up in the app store its free. Once you get that open it up and you have to give it SuperSU access so you need to enable root browsing in it. Then you can Pick the app and click properties and change permissions. Then you would reboot for the changes to take place
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spot123a:
ok so i have downloaded flash fire i am going to se your amzing rom. how do i make a back up? in flash fire or in supersu?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
You can't make a backup. Only MDK can. You can use titanium backup and that will backup all your apps and data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spot123a:
ok well too late anyways it worked thanks a bunch do you know what the tmobile apk is? also it keeps giveing the security acess notification should i flash the of1 to get rid of it? or should i have done that earlier?
