How to update to mf3? - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im on mf2 and would like to go to mf3 to use some of the toggle themes posted. Ive read a few things in some other post but am confused on if this is possible. Im rooted and have done a few mods with xposed apk. I Have i537 Thanks in advance

You must download mf3 official rom. Then, use the odin tool flash into.

Yes I understand that much. Do u know where I can get this download?

It is not available for the i537, and won't be, unless it gets "leaked" or someone is able to defeat our locked bootloaders. Unfortunately, both are looking less likely every day... Sorry.

thought so

Please tell me this helps us in some way towards getting ROMs on this phone.
Not sure if one could make a One Click Odin from this. :fingers-crossed:
You've got to be kidding me! Wow. Just wow.

@thatbigmoose do you know if this will help anything? Or just for the future of development?
Does anyone have a config file for this kernel ? or know where I can get one ?
Been rooting and downloading mods for a while. Im eagerly awaiting for atts active to be unlocked. Does this increase the chances of having custom roms? If anyone knows input would be greatly appreciated becuase this thread is kind of dead with little else info.

Your problem is that the american ATT version of the SGS4A has a locked bootloader. The kernel source code is not going to help you there, unfortunately.

Do not flash roms from international forum

Sorry, but there seems to be a new post every other day about people borking their Sprint phones because they flash a Rom from the "HTC One" forum.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
-------------------------------------
ROMS from the international forums WILL mess up your phone and you will be lucky to fix it after that! I get you want the shiny new 4.2.2 but those ROMS will not --I repeat-- WILL NOT WORK ON THE SPRINT HTC ONE.
Sure, they used to, but once they moved onto 4.2.2 they will not flash.
I feel this should be sticky in every thread on the Sprint HTC One forum.

Would this be helpful to anyone? It's kind of on/off topic... A direct link to HTC's copy of the HTC One update for Europe?
And by a direct link, I mean an HTC URL?
I mean, the proof is in the pudding...by which I mean the constant stream of "bricked plz help" threads.
So all of these stupid people that aren't reading prior to flashing and you think they are going to magically read this? I really hope this prevents a few but I doubt it.

From what I've seen all the major ROM's say in some fashion or another that it won't work for Sprint so it's mostly people just not reading. Maybe they could make the font about it possibly destroying phones if you are on Sprint bigger...and flashing...surrounded by naked women. Then maybe people will see it.
Unless your a Dev or know what your doing I wouldn't flash non sprint things... I know the partition labels and boot.IMG stuff so I have gotten things to work but not for a noobie

I have never seen so many people flashing the wrong roms as I have seen with the HTC One...If people would read then they wouldn't have these issues but we all know they won't read this either. You bought a Sprint HTC ONE, why would you not come to the SPRINT HTC ONE Development section to find a rom???
Sooo.....I flashed this rom called "NOTFORSPRINT" and now I'm stuck. Help me NAO!

No no no... You don't want to do that! First. Go to Apple.com, that part is right, but you have to download their Symbian Factory ROM. Then put your phone into DFU mode open ChevronWP7, and while holding shift select the .ipsw file you just downloaded and you'll be up and running with the latest version of WebOS in no time!!

4.4.2 LEAKED ROM, How do i root?

Hey i have the leaked version of 4.4.2 rom installed on my ATT note 3.
I hear news on the OTA update but i don't see why i need to get it.
I just want to get my phone rooted so i can use some of the applications that require super permissions.
Downgrading to 4.3 build seem like an option but some of the links bring me up to "file was removed because of copyright/somethinglikethat", also i prefer more of a one-click style.
But does anyone know where i can find it? Searching for it leads me to the exact opposite of what im looking for. So hopefully a thread post can help me out.
You can't directly root it as far as I know.
You may end up having to revert to MJ5, install SS and then install one of the 4.4 ROMs we have available.

i read his post, but you can't get safety strap installed properly without having super user permission. If there is no root for the leak i only see the option to downgrade to jb and get root. The process seems tedious and like i said a bunch of the things you need to download, the links aren't workin.
As far as I know, the links are fixed.
Some people like myself are not lazy and have no problem doing tedious things to get their phones to function the way they want.
You may not care about downgrading to upgrade to a custom 4.4.2 ROM with root, but others do.

I saw a post from Chainfire indicating he was releasing auto-roots for a bunch of variants today(he didn't mention which ones but I've got my fingers crossed). Apparently the current bottleneck is Sammy's crappy d/l servers.
Looks like no dice with Chainfire, at least for now. https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/JVxv5298wdU
Apparently he needs the recovery extracted from the firmware. I checked sammobile.com for our firmware and they haven't put it out yet. I sure hope they do.

Yeah thats the part I'm not following. Can't I pull this from the Phone with Odin and send it to him or does the dump function not work on the S5?

You can't usually dump the recovery partition without having root...usually a custom recovery is needed...hence he needs the firmware which contains the recovery partition.

Just curious if we will be able to root without a unlocked bootloader. With other devices I don't recall that being an issue. But then again this is the first one I've had that's been this locked down.

CF root likely won't work if the ATT BL is locked, but the only definitive way to check is to get the firmware and extract the recovery, send it to CF and have him package something up and then have someone flash with Odin, if the BL is locked, then it will either fail to flash, fail to boot, or worse, also once you flash anything not deemed official you trip the knox warranty flag and your without a warranty..

I'm pretty sure root will break some things. I was able to sign up for Isis and get the $50 credit, but my wife wasn't able since her Note 3 is rooted. Google Wallet might still work though. Ready to root though.

AT&T S5 Devs, do we have any?

Really curious to see if we have any Devs working on the AT&T S5 yet? If so, when do you all think we can expect to start seeing some stuff in the development threads? Obviously BL needs unlocking, if possible. Do we know of anyone working on this?
Thanks Guys!!!

My S5 is coming in today. Locked boot loader means no development ever except for maybe some safe strap stuff much later down the road which is just rehash of stock roms. No AOSP or CM.

I personally don't really care about roms, as I like the new Touchwiz and don't want to lose some of its nice features. I would like to have root, though. Hopefully someone finds a way for that to happen soon.

Chainfire needs to the stock recovery to build root for the device, basically auto root by chainfire modifies stock recovery temporarily, flashes su then flashes back stock firmware through odin.

You can't pull recovery without root on your device, the only thing we ATT users can do is wait for Samsung to post the firmware which they havent, SM-G900A is the ATT model number, Tmo and Sprint are already up so they already have root.

Keep in mind guys that if the ATT BL is locked chances are CF Root will fail to flash or boot even if CF builds one for ATT...also if this happens knox warranty is tripped leaving you without warranty coverage and no root...likely a new KK exploit will have to be found...hope I'm wrong about the BL as I'd like to get rid of bloat before handing the phone off to GF..
