According to this thread, the firmware must be downgraded in order to root. How did you manage to flash from lolipop? Or is root not required to flash TWRP & rom?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] J.Naw:
Root isn't needed if you install through odin. (Flash jfltexx version then inside twrp flash jflteatt, as there isnt a ".tar" file for jflteatt variant.)

Thanks for your work on this! I really hate giving up my S4 with your ROM. It was running great for me!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] manfromgta:
The S5 is not officially supported at this time as none of us own one. I'm not sure if there is a OctOS Community build out there. Check our G+ page, you just never know. Thanks for your support! Hope to see you around. :D

Audiofx works with different aux cord (i dont know if this was a coincidence though) but not with earbuds

Quick sms. Same issue.

Speakerphone microphone doesnt work.

Using substratum theme and reverting to stock removes dialogues from settings app (extra explanatory info under headers) (used "default dark" theme and reverted)

Others i will figure out. Ill upload some logcats and screenshots.

Unfortunately once you are on that bootloader.... there is no going back. It is ATT at their selfish worst. The development basically stops for ATT Galaxies at that point. If you are stuck on ATT you would be better off with the SIII or an earlier S4.

Did a clean wipe and flash due to weird battery performance drops and other issues. Settings menu is back to normal. Making me think substratum had an issue bringing it back (I prefer the cyanogen theme app though..)

Anyways, bugs still apparent

Quick SMS issue (must be an issue with lineageos? Unless its oddly just acting weird.)

Speakerphone microphone not tested but will check (believe it didn't work in marshmallow either.)

As well with audiofx not reflecting changes to audio.. I'll do a bit of googling and see if its on my end.

Other than that. ROMs progressing great! Thankyou
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] J.Naw:
Quick update. Audiofx finally responded for once. No idea what I did.. But I presume it will stop to work again, I'll try and figure out if its been a reboot. Or cache reset or something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] roujinz:
Latest update is running pretty good.

Battery life seems to have improved and the Do Not Disturb feature is now working. Thanks for getting that resolved!

I also finally figured out the issue with my hot spot not working... It was set to broadcast 5GHz. Once I changed it to 2.4GHz, I no longer received the error message.

The only significant issue I am noticing with the latest update is Bluetooth. It doesn't auto connect to devices anymore. And when connected to my car stereo, it used to display artist and title info when streaming Spotify or Pandora. Now it just plays audio but does not display the metadata. If I restart my phone and connect to the stereo, it will display the info until I disconnect.

Anyone else have similar issues with Bluetooth?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] J.Naw:
Update for the audiofx issue. Clearing the storage/cache for the app and restarting seems to let it work until the app that is using it closes (so if I open music, play music and change EQ it works, leave open that app and play music from deezer, still continues to work. If I stop the music app, the EQ stops working after the song is finished or I pause it.) So maybe its having an issue with reopening the stream? Not sure.

3-10-17 Weekly

In preparation for today's weeklies we have updated to the March security patch.We have removed root from the rom and added rootless substratum. All our devices have been tested with this new setup and everything appears to be working just fine. Substratum devs have advised that there are a few bugs here and there that they are working on but all in all it is rock solid! Those wishing to root their devices still can and substratum will still function. In addition, we have removed the prebuilt substratum apk from the rom. Therefore it is required that you install the apk from the playstore. This is a good thing as any updates to the apk (and I am sure there will be many tweaks ) will be automatically updated as your other apps.

So what are you waiting for? Weekly is up on site. Download from OP or check your OTA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] J.Naw:
Woah woah wait. So now we gotta root ourselves? Probably wouldve been a good time to let you know I bootlooped my device when I tried installing SuperSU. Haha oops.. But I will try when I update again. Thanks for your hard work!

All you need to do is flash SuperSU from recovery if that's you're root of choice. We removed it because many users wanted the option to flash their own choice of root or not have root at all. We are leaving the decision up to the user to decide what their needs are. :o

Thank you, thank you , thank you!

Thank you for supporting the S4 with your excellent looking ROM (am in the process of installing it). I have an S4 that I keep as my backup phone, and somehow my son did something that caused the CM12.1 on it to get stuck at the Samsung boot logo. With Lineage OS not supporting the S4 further, your ROM is a life saver. Well, a phone saver at least. :p I really appreciate that this isn't simply someone's hobby ROM, but that you are keeping up with Android security patches, and definitely better than Samsung and AT&T.

Thank you for all the hard work you people are putting in to supporting this phone, and all the other phones you have adopted!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] J.Naw:
Also for [MENTION=5365613]XxNicxX11[/MENTION]

For the Canadian version, (jfltecan) you need to install the twrp for jfltexx, and you can run the ROM for that build, or flash jflteatt twrp inside the recovery (flashing over itself) and install the att variant. Both work, but I believe the att has better supported bands, therefore better mobile network connectivity.

As for posting a working ROM, this one will work just fine. :)

Battery life is good (about 10 hours) using a force doze app (naptime) and only things that don't work (that haven't in a while) is audiofx is buggy, quicksms closes app, and speakerphone microphone is stupidly quiet.

Quick question: does this ROM use the I337UCSGOK3 modem released in January 2017 or the OK2 modem released in November 2015?

If OK2, will the OK3 modem be tested and implemented into the ROM at a later date? I searched for a flashable OK3 modem zip but couldn't find one. Thanks!

I installed the ROM and all went well. I used the Lineage ROM.

That's the problem. The download is for jflteatt only.

The major difference in the i337 (jflteatt) and i337m (jfltecan) is the bootloader - the former is locked and requires an exploit, the latter is not and does not.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] <*{{{{{{><:
You guys are nuts. Look, this is really simple...

You go to TWRP.me, and find the build for

your

phone model.

i337 = jflteatt

i337m = jfltecan

i9505 = jfltexx

i545 = jfltevzw

M919 = jfltetmo

ect.

Download it and install it... or install it from GooManager. In this case, you have the "M" variant, you would download TWRP for the Galaxy S4 Canada.

The AT&T version of the phone i337 (without the M) has a locked bootloader. We must use a workaround called "Loki" in order to successfully flash a custom ROM (kernel) or recovery to the phone, and we must be on one of the first two bootloader versions from way back when the phone was released (MDB or MDL). Since TWRP version 3x, the builds on TWRP.me have not been patched with loki. This results in the yellow triangle and the unauthorized software message on boot. I have patched the latest version, and posted it for AT&T S4 owners to use.

That's it. Please use the recovery version for your model of phone.
