[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sway8966:
None so far for the locked bootloader, unless you have 2013 bootloader like ADB, MDL.

AT&T intentionally lock the bootloader as such they will not offer any tools or ways to unlock the bootloader. Not just S4 all the AT&T phones has locked bootloader.

With the locked bootloader your option to flash custom rom is via either safestrap ro flashfire.

Regardless of what custom rom you use, you have to flash the AT&T kernel in the end, in order your phone to work.

There might be some AOSP roms flashable with safestrap in Android development section.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] fitzly:
It sounds like it is time to either abandon ship on AT&T, Samsung, or both.

Any recommendations on carriers and devices in the U.S.?

I really like Samsung's amoled displays, and 5.5" is getting too big for portability / everyday use. My HTC One LCD display gives me eyestrain after much use. And it seems to be a problem finding a ~5" amoled device that is both AT&T compatible and allows for unlocking the bootloader.

Ideally, I would like a device that has ~5" amoled display, sd slot, good battery life, removable battery, and can run custom roms on a carrier who doesn't try to be a dictator on what I can run on my own devices.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sway8966:
I think all the samsung phones made for america has locked bootloader. You can check on this forum for which phone can be rooted and which are not.

The other way around should be using the international phones. However, on AT&T network, only the phone make for AT&T can get the LTE signal. I tried with the Asus Zenfone 2. The only way I can get LTE signal in Asus Zenfone 2 is on T-mobile network.

I like the idea of removable battery but in order to make the phone thinner, they all have to go with the I-phone route, non-removable battery.

There is a new Android AOSP 7.0 Nougat ROM for Galaxy S4 AT&T, but I don't think I would be able to install it because my bootloader is UCUGOK2?

Link: http://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/update-galaxy-s4-att-nougat-7-0-aosp-rom/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sway8966:
Yes they clearly stated that your bootloader has to be exploitable (MDB/MDL). If not that bootloader you can not install custom recovery. Those rom need custom recovery to install on the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] cookiecorn:
Thanks Sway.

Is it possible to unlock bootloader UCUGOK2 and change it to UCUAMDB or UCUAMDL?

If so, do you have a link guide?

Thanks again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] audit13:
There is no way to flash an unlocked bootloader over a locked bootloader or to unlock a locked bootloader at this time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sway8966:
For the ATT-S4 , the answer is no. There is a JTAG service to unbrick the bricked bootloader but there is no posting saying that re-write the bootloader to MDB/MDL.

So far, only the verizon S4 has a way to unlock the bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Ohhdayumm:
Not possible to run anything other than tw. There are great tw Roms that are debloated making them very light and fast especially when paired up with a custom kernel and the correct settings. Just a got an old s4 from a friend and I decided to revive it from its misery. Now it's snappy and decent battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] StoneyJSG:
Not all Samsung phones have locked bootloaders in the U.S. Just Verizon and AT&T, unless t-mobile and sprint jumped on the locked bootloader band wagon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ShawnWiosna:
how do you verify if the BL is Locked? Because I managed to root and change modem to mdb and rom to mk2 from much higher version, sim unlocked my att i337, so i just want to check before I load a new rooted rom, from safstrap
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] audit13:
Boot into download and confirm that the model # is sgh-i337. Do you see anything about Knox?

You could also boot into the ROM, install the Samsung Info App, and look at the bootloader version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ChewyFurrr:
I'm in the same unfortunate boat as OP. I downgraded from 5.0.1 / OK2 to 4.4.2 / NB1 and rooted in hopes of installing custom ROMs but now I run into what looks like locked bootloader. When in download mode my details are:

KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0

KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1

what can i get out of this info?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] audit13:
The bootloader is definitely locked and cannot be onlocked. You can use safestrap to flash custom ROMs that are based off a stock TW ROM. You can also root the phone and debloat.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] :
I was really salty about the bootloader being locked when I upgraded from my S3 which I had CM13 rom. Last few months I've been using Thor rom, absolutely solid and I got the Grace UX look on it. I'd recommend it or Lollirom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Todd_S:
Maybe this other thread can point you in the right direction. I tried the Xposed framework portion however, but that part wouldn't work with my AT&T Galaxy S4.

Thread: [GUIDE] AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 Lollipop 5.0.1 OK2 Root Xposed Etc.

Keeping my eyes open for other options. Good luck.:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] StoneyJSG:
Here's the round up as far as AT&T Samsung flagship locked bootloader phones go:

Galaxy S - factory unlocked bootloader

Galaxy S2 - factory unlocked bootloader

Galaxy S3 - factory unlocked bootloader

Galaxy S4 - factory locked bootloader - exploit bypass (loki doki) available if on MDB or MDL firmware.

Galaxy S5 - factory locked bootloader

Galaxy S6 and variants (S6 edge) - factory locked bootloader

Galaxy S7, S7+, and S7 edge - factory locked bootloader

Galaxy S8 and S8+ - factory locked bootloader

The only AT&T phones I know of that can be unlocked bootloader wise are HTC devices as HTC offers a developer program which will unlock it for you. I am not sure about LG, Google, or Motorola devices branded by AT&T.

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bzowk:
Hey Guys -

I've looked everywhere for a solution to this issue and even submitted a request to Titanium's developers, but have yet to find a solution or get a response. In fact, I can't find an issue matching mine online. Posting here hoping someone can help...

The Issue

When launching Titanium Backup on my Shield (6.01 / Rooted), it lists only 289 apps. The problem is that I have a total of 310 user / system ones installed therefore roughly 20 apps aren't listed. I'm wanting to upgrade my tablet to 4.2 and want to backup first, but many of the apps I frequently use are installed to the sd physically.

Why I Think It's Happening

Apps not listed seem to be all of the ones whose files are physically stored on the SD by the OS - I don't think it's related to permissions at all. When upgrading to Marshmallow, I formatted my 64gb SD as "Internal Storage" as doing so makes space management so much easier. No more having to use 3rd party apps to manage and create symlinks for apps I manually copy to the SD. Android seems to dynamically moves / copies things to the SD as needed which works well. If wanting to install a large (1gb+) app, sometimes I must go to an app's properties in Settings and choose to have it's files physically stored on the SD, but that's rare and still using an OEM toolset.

Attempted Workarounds

Most topics I've found when looking for a resolution dealt with not being able to restore apps involving an SD which isn't my issue. Still, I did try the following:

- Tried different storage Providers when setting backup folder location

- Looked all over for potential settings that may have an effect

- Ensured everything's up to date (all is except minor version behind on OS)

- Created new Data Profile in TB

- Tried default settings in TB

Example

Attached are a couple of screenshots for my installation of "Borderlands 2" which is one of the apps affected. As installed it's just shy of 4gb, it must exist on an SD or be the only thing installed, yet it does not appear in TB. To note, when using a file explorer such as FX, the OBB & Data folders / files for applications existing physically on the SD still appear when browsing to Android\Obb or Android\Data from internal storage. In fact, they aren't even listed as symlinks.

Tablet Specs

- Nvidia Shield Tablet (Not K1, but was replaced after battery callback)

- Android 6.0.1

- Rooted /w SuperSU (binary 2.78) All prompts set to "Grant"

- Titanium Backup Pro 7.5.0

- 64gb microsd formatted as Internal Storage (Fastest write and best rated I could find as of 6 months ago)

- Storage (as reported by OS in Settings)

- 70.28gb total

- 63.96gb used

- Internal Storage: 8.31gb of 11.61gb used

- Samsung SD Card: 55.65gb or 58.67gb used

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi, in the meantime could you try another software to make your app's backup, helium is my current choice (slide down in first page and select full backup instead of data only).

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] silegeek:
SOLVED:

I know what I did wrong.

Apparently when I did the second backup, I unticked the wrong "system" partition, or the backup/restore needs both and I only ticked one.

When you backup in TWRP (at least this is the case for the stock ROM), there are two "System" partitions:

System and System Image. One of them contains the actual Android OS I think, and I have no idea what the other one is, only that it has an identical size and so on. For the first backup I made, I did both system partitions, and this seems to have solved the problem.

The second one with the single "system" partition would not boot. It also needs "System Image"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've come up a bit of a croper.

I am bootloader unlocked, after which I flashed the latest TWRP recovery. After this, the first thing I did was back up my stock ROM, as it was.

I then erased the stock rom from the phone and restored it to check it was working. I backed this up to Google Drive. I made another stock backup and then installed Maximus HD and have been on it for a while. After being on a custom ROM for a while, I wanted to go back for a bit just to see if I could feel any difference.

So I wiped the custom ROM, and restored the most recent stock backup image.

Which wouldn't boot.

I've noticed there's a pattern when you turn on the phone. "HTC powered by Android" splash screen, with a dim display. The display brightens briefly, and then dims again before loading the ROM. Reminds me of the PS1 swap disc trick pattern. It speeds up, slows down, speeds up, swap, spins down etc.

Anyway, after restoring the stock image, it got as far as the brighter display before getting stuck there. Have to hold power + vol- for 15 seconds (going by the touch key flashes) when I can then get to download >boot loader > recovery.

Anyone have any ideas why it won't boot? I am s-on, but custom roms install fine regardless of this.

EDIT: Currently downloading the original backup from my Drive to see if that boots.

If it does work, I will factory reset it, backup the image and upload that to google drive. I dont know if it would be of use to people here, since it is the rom for the CID H3G_001.

Wrong RUU or device totally bricked?

Hello,

I have problems with Rolling Back the software as I got massive problems under 8.1.

My device is running software number 206 with the branding O2___102 (Germany) and I started the flashing running LO15.

I took the software from here:

handy-faq (dot) de/forum/htc-10-firmware-ruus-otas-backups-stock-recoveries-und-co-t321770/

During this process, they give me always the error back, that the header doesn't fit. Means, I was not even able to flash any TWRP backup for going back to stock!

After flashing the hosd file of the 6.0 O2 RUU, im now not able to access the Downloadmode anymore.

Did I took the wrong software, it was UK branded? And how can I get my Download mode back? Does another TWRP backup help maybe?

Thank you so much for your help!!:)

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] HTCMDA:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] redtails:
full screen would mean 320×240 resolution, while the wizard only records smoothly til the 176 pixel format, if you have coolcamera you can set it to 176×144 and full screen, you'll get the usual frame count by writing to a reasonably fast memory card
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] HTCMDA:
ok since you guys can't seem to answer my question just nevermind.

the video quality at 176 is crappy, i use to get higher fps saving to my card then one day it stopped and now its slow. i just want to know if the standard camera app on the mda is able to record a higher resolution of video then 176x144 OR if i can make the video take up the entire screen instead of that little square in the middle. thats all i want.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] rellik232:
Which phone are you using? If you use 8125 with coolcamera, you'll get 11 fps by 240x300... Trying to overclock it would give you better results... Trying to clear ram would help too(use pocketmechanic) and trying to save it too rom is better.

AND ya.. TURN OFF THE NIGHT MODE... really gives you bad results!

I don't plan on picking up another Note 7 until I get a chance to do some hands on with the V20. I'm perfectly happy with my Note 3 at the moment. It's not as fast as the 7 is, but it does everything I need it to.

One thing that really bugged me about the N7 was the WiFi throughput. My N3 is 3-5 times faster copying files from a local samba share on two different wireless lans.

I absolutely love the N7's camera though. Best camera I've ever seen on a phone.

And if LG doesn't get the V20 out by the 30th, I'll just return the N7.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] probablecauzdnb:

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] accordingtoome:
+1... Can't stand the curved edge on the N7. I thought i could grow to love it but nope. Also my battery didn't last more than 5 hours. I'm a power user and i need at least 6 or 7. Hope the V20 can do the trick.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] probablecauzdnb:
i can't stand the curved edge either. one of the many reasons i am getting rid of my note 7. well at least with the v20 the battery is removable so i am sure they will come out with longer lasting batteries
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Knowbody42:
This is one of the big reasons I won't buy a Note 7.

Getting a tempered glass screen protector to work on a curved screen? Nope.

The two phones I'm looking at to upgrade from my G4 are the LG V20 and 128GB Nexus Marlin / Pixel XL

That's mostly a choice between having a removable battery and microsd card reader vs having stock Android and more frequent updates.

I can't understand why the Nexus phones don't have MicroSD card readers, and I would never buy a 32GB phone with no microsd card reader in it. But at least it is possible to charge them with a portable battery.

Also, I won't buy a V20 if it doesn't have the ability to unlock the bootloader.
