Thanks to Calkulin for use of the install script. Thanks to Chainfire for SuperSU. Thanks to dsixda for the Kitchen. Thanks to shabbypenguin for the custom MDL kernel. Thanks to romracer for the Deodexed Wallet fix.
Flash this to get Deodexed/Odexed stock MDL with latest root (SuperSU), su binary and Busybox 1.20.2. These Do Not include a kernel or any other firmware.
All of the zips wipe cache and dalvik for you so no need to do that separately.
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. You do this at your own risk.
As with everything I release, you are welcome to use this any way you need. Just remember where it came from:good:
There is a version for no data wipe and data wipe. Make sure you don't get them mixed up. The data wipe versions do not delete the /data/media folder.
The Rom has been updated with the new SuperSU and the fixed Deodexed Google Wallet. Removed the Nagfix and custom kernel links as they are no longer needed. Also no need to freeze seandroid or delete Knox.
Currently, the only way to install the modem is by using the OTA zip
Custom kernels will still give you a nag. A kernel dev will have to fix that. For now freeze seandroid.

Well, even though the files themselves are different, it's only because they've just re-compiled the same things... I've decompiled a few and compared them to the old ones... they are identical... Even though their file sizes are different... They contain the same exact code...
I'm going to write a script to decompile everything and then run a full compare on the code... to find out what's actually changed...

It makes sense that those have changed, I would expect the much of the framework to change, but more than half of the apk files have changed, but yet on the few I've checked, they have the same identical code.
Ok nag fix is posted in the OP. I have broken my wifi and sdcard. It is 1:22am and it has been a long day. I am going to bed and will pick this up again in the morning. If anyone knows how to decompile the two files in the fix so we can try and find the difference that would be great.

Long and tedious trial and error I knew something in the system was causing it because I could flash between MDC and MDL and it always came up on MDL. So first I found all of the file changes. I ruled out apk and framework. Then I began copying MDC over a few at a time until I could get it to go away. Then I kept going until I found which two were throwing it. I restored back and replaced those two again to make sure it went away.

Stock Rooted OTA 4.08.605.19 710RD Rom
Stock rooted ota 4.08.605.19 710RD rom. It is rooted, zip aligned, has busybox and comes in odexed or deodexed versions. Other than that it is untouched. Enjoy
[standard flashing disclaimer here]
Do a full wipe (boot, system, data, datadata, cache, android secure) except for sdcard and emmc, then flash like any other rom.
Stock rooted ota 4.08.605.19 rom may be able to be flashed over Stock rooted ota 4.08.605.15 rom, but is untested. If you flash over and have issues, do a full wipe and fresh install.

I pulled out my old Incredible to see if I could breathe some new life into it and updated it to TWRP 2.4.1.0 and made a NANdroid backup of my old ROM. Went to go install it and get the Status 2 error, so I put in a newer update-binary. Not a big deal. I go to flash it again, and I get the Status 7 error, meaning I need to update to a newer version of my recovery. Not possible! So I re-flashed recovery and tried again. No dice. I can still restore my backup, so it's still alive right now. I'm curious to know if anyone else is experiencing this. Does anyone have any ideas?

Your zip works now. What was the problem?
Also, I've always been able to edit ROM zips and delete and add apks without any issue, but I can't now with this one. It keeps giving me the status 7 error about 80% through the install when all I do is delete some Verizon bloat from the zip file. Your zip is fine, it's just when I modify it that it's giving me a problem. I'm not using the MD5 file, so it shouldn't affect anything. Also, I don't think it should let me get 80% done with the install before it breaks only because of some deleted files.

Had to update the update-binary, and edit the mount commands in the updater-script.
Deleteing apps from /system/app in the rom zip should not affect the zip in any way. Are you just deleting them from within 7zip, or are you unziping, deleting, and then rezipping it?
Status 7 usually reffers to an error in the updater-script. Since it stoped about 80% thru, about 80% thru the updater-script is where the issue is.

Thanks so much =), honestly I am surprised updates are still being released. I really need to get to a Verizon store and snag the 4G version but I've been traveling a lot so my Blackberry has been getting a workout thanks to the international SIM support. Regardless I still use my Dinc for Google Auth (2-pass auth FTW!) and other activities everywhere (in network or not).

Missing Hotspot Option In Settings
Those of you that have the Hotspot option missing in settings, use the instructions for adding the toggle. Only this time you are going to choose the secure table instead of system. Select * for everything or chameleon_tethereddata. If the value for chameleon_tethereddata is not 3 change it to 3. Reboot the phone and see if Hotspot is showing up now in settings.
If you can't edit the database on 4.3
If you can't edit the database on 4.3 download, install and run the TB Restore Fixer from playstore.

4G works on odexed version. I installed via zip (not adb). Thank you very much.
Using WiFi Tether seems to break HotSpot until a reboot. AP is created but no internet passthrough.
Is there another method of flashing this? I seem to remember a way of getting into another mode other than recovery where you could flash something via cmd? Does that apply here? After reading the current state of some of the recoveries, I'm not ready to flash them yet.

The CWM is fine for the purpose of flashing zipfiles like the modded HotSpot. It won't mess up your phone, and you can always flash the newer stable version when it comes out (or TWRP).

Thank you,
Sorry for the rookie move, wont happen again!
Surprised by the lack of activity in this thread, as this is a huge bonus to have so soon, I guess I will drop in my input of my experience. First, of the two recoveries that are public, TWRP did not load properly for me (redraw issue as others have reported) so I used CWM. This recovery has a little issue not showing visual responses to every other navigation button press, but no big deal if you are aware of it. All functions work (backups, wipes, flashing of zips).
Since I originally rooted my device with the motochopper root method, I flashed CWM and installed the Odex zip. After a reboot, I had success with the hotspot, but my S4 seemed to run abnormally hot (hit 40C when normally well under 30C)...the warming of the device was independent of running the hotspot, as I only tested the hotspot for about 3 minutes. With no other assumption as to why, I decided that, due to the release of the Deodexed zip, I would move over to a clean install that version, as I intended to do eventually anyway.
After a full wipe and install of the Deodexed ROM zip, restoration of my Google accounts and apps via Titanium Backup, I installed the Deodexed hotspot hack and it works swimmingly as well.
All in all, both Odex and Deodex versions have been tested on my end with both the stock system after motochopper and the Deodexed zip. My random heating issue was possibly unrelated as I have not heard of anyone else with the issue...if someone has experienced this, please add it into the thread.

Yeah I plan on it. Attached the gz.
Pulling source now to run a diff and see what has changed in kernel beyond the obvious.
Be interested to see if they left that in the defconfig since they know someone will probably flip it back.
anyone check to see if kies would update em? would be a nice thing to have the tar for it as well
Just to confirm the obvious rooting did not work.
Installing the stock MDC kernel allows rooting.
if you dont mind, have mdl kernel installed, flash cwm/twrp. boot into recovery and dd the kernel. i wish to compare ramdisks
Well, that diff was actually productive.
They have made the change in the common defconfig for all i9505 variants.
So expect this to be coming to the rest of them soon.
Looks like on the kernel side a majority of the changes are to 3 files:
firmware/ssp_rev03.fw.ihex
firmware/tsp_synaptics/synaptics_b0_5_1.fw.ihex
firmware/tsp_synaptics/synaptics_b0_5_1_fac.fw.ihex
Beyond those 3, many of the changes pertain to ATT and EUR variants.
Attaching a zip of the diff file for reference as I'll be spreading the word.
Guess I'll get with Agat to make an MDL kernel with that flipped off...
*Update 2* As Shabby mentioned, only Tmo and Sprint have seen this so far... so AT&T results can be ignored.

sorry for teh delay, had to make breakfast for my daughter this is a MDL source built kernel, but with MDC ramdisk until i can get MDL ramdisk. it will allow root however

Well, may not be as bad as we read a few days ago.
AT&T threads saying motochopper still working - we'd have to test CF Auto Root.
Also OTA Root Keeper supposedly working.
In the end I'll just flash a kernel that plays nice. Thanks Shabby!

I haven't looked at the at&t threads but I would say they are wrong. You can install root but the kernel kills it. So it won't run. I have tried all three methods of install and it doesn't work.
1. Installing custom recovery and flashing supersu
2. Oding CFAutoRoot
3. Moto

oh didnt know they included a full one. i didnt download the update.zip (doesnt do me any good )
ok recompiling now, seems only a minor edit in ramdisk but may be worthwhile to include it. new kernel is up at same old link crawj you have permission if youd like to include it in a odex/deodex'd rootable zip rom

So you have the new kernel working? Where is that same old link again And thanks!

Well, may not be as bad as we read a few days ago.
AT&T threads saying motochopper still working - we'd have to test CF Auto Root.
Also OTA Root Keeper supposedly working.
In the end I'll just flash a kernel that plays nice. Thanks Shabby!

crawrj is correct, its not a matte rof re-rooting its the binary is being killed as it tries to launch. att didnt get it in an update yet, only tmo and sprint for the us carriers.

I have not rooted yet and im trying to push the OTA update now. once it goes through, you want me to try one of the rooting methods???
Just wanted to let everyone know that Chainfire has done it again. His latest SuperSU 1.30 fixes the root issues on MDL. You can use the stock kernel and leave knox alone. No need to freeze seandroid or install the nag fix.
Chainfire's Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Here is the 1.30 zip that I posted on Mudavo's 'how to" thread in the dev section yesterday. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41675140&postcount=140 In order to leave Knox alone and use the stock kernel, you will also need SuperSUNoNag-v1.00apk linked here as per Chainfires thread.

Thank you. Chainfire used to have a disclaimer not to repost his links so I have put a direct link to his thread in the OP. Not sure if he still feels that way or not but I believe it is proper to direct people to his original post.
Edit: Just noticed the NoNag comment. I did not have to install that. I believe that is related to something else. I started over and went back to completely stock MDC, did the OTA to MDL, installed the new SuperSU and did not get any nags. I then updated and installed my rom and still haven't gotten a nag going on 20 hours.
i can confirm this works... i was on MDC and rooted.. used ota keeper and temp unrooted then flashed MDL update and after that i restored root and no errors and no messages ....
profit
Note : the device status now shows custom
So do we flash su1.30 and then the no nag fix? Or just the no nag fix?

You don't need the nag fix anymore. If you are already on MDL Mudavo did this to get it working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41714439&postcount=146
Ok so I'm kinda confused. Say I flash back to stock mdc to take the mdl update. I do that little trick and install oudhs recovery on stock mdl. all I have to do is flash supersu 1.30 in recovery and I should be Ok? No need for nonagfix.apk?

It always showed custom when you had custom firmware or a rooted system. I have been told that TriangleAway did work on MDC, haven't confirmed it myself, but I can't get it to work on MDL.

OK maybe I am confused with MDL but I swear I remember seeing custom system while rooted. Having custom recovery/kernel definitely showed custom binary.
Maybe because of the recovery and custom kernel.. I was totally stock with only root no custom recovery or kernel..

testing cf-root http://goo.gl/XgI9E
so where can I find the stock Kernel? I flashed shabby's MDL kernel with SetUID disabled.
If I'm not mistaken, I should just be able to flash the unmodified kernel back without having to wipe, right?
Triangle away still shows custom kernel and Google Wallet says "unsupported system".

Yes that is right. I have the stock kernel in my MDL Rom thread but one user reported that it killed his wifi. That is the only user I know have flashed it. No other reports yet. So if you try it please report on whether it worked for you or not.
detection information/seandroid HELP!!
Can anyone please help me I rooted the updated MDL restriction disabled kernal with superuser zip and everything seems to be working but I get this annoying msg from seandroid. Ide like to keep the adittional protection but if the only was to get rid of this msg it to get rid of seandroid I will plz help with walk through..
am I correct to assume that su1.3 allow you to run stock kernel without the need to freeze seandroid?
and if we flashed with a custom kernel, we should flash a stock kernel so not needing to freeze seandroid?
my status: I am on MDL shabby cwm / shabby kernel... I upgraded to su1.3; after defrosting seandroid; I am getting warning seandroid has stopped working.
---------- Post added at 11:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------
^jeffyxd
try freezing Seandroid; or upgrade to su1.3 (but you might get the same message I am getting afterward) "seandroid has stopped working"
Try this if you are already on MDL and rooted.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41714439
Also custom kernels will still give you a nag. A kernel dev will have to fix that. You will still have to freeze seandroid to clear the kernel nag for now.

Just use Muniz_ri method then install the NCE flasher apk. Then it'll take you to SS, flash your new ROM or mods or whatever then just flash the OC4 kernel and you're back in the game.

Couldn't you just unzip the Twisted Lollipop ROM .zip file and replace the boot.img that they have with the stock OC4 one, re-zip it up and flash via FF?
Seems a lot simpler...
That's what I did @dorqus and flashed the kernel zip to be safe but after a couple fails found out it will not work unless your lollipop already had to Odin back twice lol but its running good so far 1st boot super long phone got to got for me rebooted and it updated 26 apps and started up fine

So just to be sure, all i need to do is replace the boot.img to the oc4 one and rezip and i should be able to flash it. I'm on 5.0 using muniz method. I'm running alliance 7.1 right now but have been wanting Twi5ted for a while now.

Yep if you want to be safe chase it with the kernel zip too but kernel sway should be sufficient... I'll do a test real quick with mine with just the swapped kernel no extra zip I'll be back with results for ya shortly

A lot simpler than just two flashes? First one when you open the app and it flashes the NCE for you and takes you to safestrap. And the second one is when you're done flashing whatever you want just flash the OC4 kernel and boot back up to your phone.
I've tried FF and it was more complicated for me. Also, not everyone knows how to replace the boot.img like you did. I guarantee you that a lot of don't even know what it is. LOL

Easy now. Lol. I'm still learning myself. I just extracted the OA1 boot loader that muniz uploaded for the "5.0 update and keep root" copied all that was in that folder and placed in the Twi5ted folder and removed the Twi5ted "boit.img" is that not what should be done? I haven't flashed yet.

running alliance rom.......
Downloaded twi5ted v4, unzipped it and extracted the boot.img from the G900A_OC4_Stock_Rooted_Firmware.tar.md5 in the g900a update to 5.0 thread, and deleted the one in the rom zip and replaced it, and rezipped. Upon trying to load it into flashfire I got a crash as someone as the verification got to 100, I tried 4 times, all of them with the same java.lang.outofmemory error, which was confusing cause I have plenty of memory free. I'm giving it another shot, if it works I'll come back here and give a link to the zip for anyone else who wants to do it with some steps that worked for me.

I'm back after attempt number 5, still no dice, it gets to 100% crashes, I'll go ahead and post the zip anyway in case anyone else wants to give it a shot. The exact process I did, was download the v4 zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3037766 then extract it with zarchiver, replaced the boot.img, then zipped it again with zarchiver, and the file size went from 1.25 gb to 1.26 gb. It seems strange this one fails to load but the stock lollipop tar which is double this one's size loads much faster and perfectly fine. If you want to give it a go, download the zip, reboot your phone (to clear out as much memory as possible) and then open flash fire and add the zip as a firmware package, as it won't even show up if you click "flash zip or ota", for me at least. As usual, I'm not responsible if you brick, and can't provide any assurance you won't since I haven't even been able to flash it in the first place.

where did you get the KitKat Kernel tar from to flash with Odin? Odin only accepts .tar files and the only KitKat kernel i've found was from @K-alz and that's a flashable zip.

When you use nice apk it automatically takes your kernel back down to kitkat...so I assume...after your in as and install your ROM..you use oc4 kernel through Odin...am I getting your question right?
