How To Videos on the Sprint Galaxy S4! (08/10/13)

This has been done MANY times before.
I recently purchased the Galaxy S4 and I make 1080p video tutorials on how to unlock, root, install custom recovery, roms, and etc.
Here are some videos that I know will help a lot of people out. I put a LOT of time and effort into making the best videos possible. If you have any suggestions for videos to make, please let me know! I'll be doing videos on roms and other development stuff found in the threads.
ALL of my Galaxy S4 Videos can be found HERE,

As far as I'm aware, this is the only thread in the Galaxy S4 forums with "How To" videos all in one place.
There will be MANY more Galaxy S4 videos to come. I'm going to do my full review of ForceROM once I've had time to play with it and can do an honest review. I will be doing a video on how to flash it stock this week or next week. Plus many more rom videos, tips/tricks, and etc.

Mine... Because all of the kids are doing it these days.
Many more videos will be added soon!

Dude you rock
I love the 90s. Good times.

This should be a sticky as well as the other video.

you can install ota's with custom recovery btw
its messing with anything on system that causes installs to fail

I'm assuming these methods are for MDC and not MDL correct?

I've always had it fail with custom recovery. And I don't usually uninstall system apps. I'll note that in the video though! Thanks.

in the old days ota's used to wipe everything and reinstall the rom, thus removing root. since gingerbread all they use is patch files, thankfully too. could you imagine a 1.5GB "ota"? it checks the hash of all the files its going to be updating, if it needs to update modem and you have a diff modem then it will fail, if you removed an apk it needs it will fail etc.
its why cwm/oudhs will detect if teh su binary has been altered with permissions and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh as they tend to be teh results of otas

Thanks boy.!
Awsome i was waiting for this.! thanks dev.! great :highfive:

Am I understanding this correctly? So if we've rooted and installed a custom recovery but everything else is stock we can accept an OTA without breaking root?

normally id say yes, as teh custom recovery will detect root has been altered and restore it. with this new setuid stuff it is no longer the case :/

This freaking update is nagging me and won't go away. I was talking with @Unknownforce, and now I don't want to install it...

I flashed the Slim Rom and the annoying update went bye bye.

Everytime I tried to flash the ota it failed at the flashing point. I'm thinking it was due to the kernal being changed in my root process. I used OUDHS recovery method. ... Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong which I might be.

Really, you have done a great job. I have seen all of your videos, but I did not find anything, which is needed to change. Superb !!.. It helps many people who have a galaxy S4. Thanks a lot for sharing such a helpful thing.

If you didn't remove the stock bloat then you'd need to throw the stock recovery back on.
Have already seen the ota fail with twrp and oudhs.

as i explained earlier, the only way a ota will pass while you use custom recovery to flash it, is normally if you have custom recovery and root and thats all. alter system in any way and you risk the ota not going. replacing the kernel is guaranteed way to make them fail, almost every ota ever has included a new kernel update.

Stock Rooted Odex/Deodex

Disclaimer: Flash this ROM at your own risk. I am not responsible for what you do on your device. I left this stock to provide a base for anybody that wants to use it. Mod this rom how you want. Just please remember to give credit where credit is due.
This is a pure stock rooted rom. It has items like busybox, init.d support and so forth. No apps were added or removed. Both Odexed and Deodexed versions below.
This is using stock unmodified kernel from HTC. Kernel source can be grabbed from HTCDev

There are few zip's. Could you please advise me which one should I flash? Thanks.

Yes that's due to system protection in the kernel. Can't fix it till HTC releases kernel source. If you want to remove something you have to do it in recovery

That option was there before too, but it reset it to "off" after updating. It's off by default in the shipped rom too, for some odd reason.

[TUT] How to port Omega Rom (and other S4 roms) to our Sprint GS4

Hey guys, since my thread was closed, I was advised by ::indie:: to show you guys how to port his rom. This method should work for other International I9505 roms as well. Landon4444 made a thread on how to port it, but I'm taking more of TheAxman's approach.
1. Download Omega Rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2253528
You'll need Notepad++ for this next part
2. Open the zip of the rom and add this line into the file build.prop (system/build.prop)
# Use CDMALTE Phone
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=1
^This gets data working for our phone.
3. Flash the modified rom and a custom TW kernel for our device.
4. Enjoy
Also, please don't make the mistake I have, and ask for permission before you port. Hope this helps you guys out.

sorry i dont understand.. i down loaded the rom.. well a diff rom.. on my pc.. i open the zip go into system then i see build prop at the bottom. but i cant open that file.. it says its a prop file? do i downloed the rom and flash it then use root explorer to add that line in?

I was advised by the maker of Omega ROM to make a tutorial (TUT) on how to port this ROM since my port of it was taken down. I probably should (and will) change the title but I did include in the OP that it will work for other ROMs as well (as long as they are on an S4 with similar hardware).

Yeah I set it to that and it stays on that even after a reboot but no 4g after. Its weird because if I restore my Sprint Tw rom after that I don't have 4g either. I have to update prl twice to get it back. Same thing on Jellybeans rom and Hyperdrive. Its really a shame because them roms fly on this thing.

Alrighty then.

Tried adding the line prior to flash but it didnt stick for some reason... so I added it after the flash and LTE is working fine but my signal bars are dead. Any idea how to get them back?
Edit: so I turned off lte and they came back, I can live with this. "Roaming indicator off" notification is pretty annoying though. Any idea how to get rid of it?

Alright, found it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43205979&postcount=130
You just need to get 7zip (or another compression tool), download a Cyanogenmod Nightly build, and replace the eri.xml in the rom with the one from Cyanogenmod :good:

I had the same issue with 4G signal bars and this is what I did on Omega and it fixed it.
I do not know how much of this is necessary and be sure to make a backup before you try.
I replaced the following files in the Omega ROM with those from a stock deodexed MDL ROM prior to flashing then flashed KTs latest kernel and wiped cache and dalvik before rebooting.
The entire CSC directory in /system
any .so file in system/lib that contained ril in its name.
libaudio-ril.so
libreference-ril.so
libril-qc-qmi-1.so
libril-qcril-hook-oem.so
libril.so
libsecril-client.so
In system/bin
rild
sec-ril
in /system
build.prop
If you do a google search for radio interface layer (RIL) you will find info that led me to replace the ril files
I then restored APNs using APN backup and Restore after booting.
Hope this helps

I wanna say yes but am on a different ROM now and never specifically tested that.
I did run it like that for several days and never lost 4G but don't know for sure if I ever rebooted.

You can't flash ROMS on the ATT Note 3 yet. There is safe strap that is still in Alpha testing and is not yet 100% working. It however is not a true root and eats up a large amount of internal memory where the image file of the ROM is stored. There is a thread on Safestrap and how it works. Use it at your own risk. Outside of that it is IMPOSSIBLE to flash an ATT Note 3 right now..

The issue is that even with safe strap you can't flash any ROM. The ROM first has to be tailored to work with and around safe strap since it is not truly a ROM but a bootloader bypass and works a little differently. So until developers either jump on board and tweak ROMS to work with safestrap or they wait till the bootloader is unlocked, there are no ROMS right now to flash..

I said you could not flash them reliably and have them 100% functional. There is still testing being conducted on all the ROMS claimed to work and no one has confirmed 100% functionality with all apps and hardware. So they are still not certified reliable like a real flash would be..
If you have tested the three you have used 100% on both hardware and apps then you need to get in there and say so because they are looking for 100% proof of function confirmation..

Not going to argue semantics with you.
I will say that I have flashed to rom slots 1 thru 4 and the stock slot and restored backups to them all with no issues. And am currently running the ported xnote7 with no issues at all. So yes, roms can be installed to AT&T Note3 phones.

Have you been actively participating in the development of this phone? I've been doing this for years and I'll be honest. 99% of custom rooms do not run 100% perfect or functional. That being said, instead of telling everyone we can't flash ROMS. Why not tell them what we do have and let him decide if it is what He is looking for.

I am just going by all the "this does not work, or this fails, or my apps no longer load" and the list goes one of post in the SS thread right now.. For some it maybe stable but it seems the majority is having more problems then they had with stock.

Can someone orovide the link to xnote7 that can be fkashed to att note 3 using safe strap please? I have seen a couple forums about it but I cannot find the actual download link of the one that you guys are referring to. I want the one that works with the AT&T note 3 using safestrap please I would greatly appreciate it thank you

[ROM][G925V][DEODEXED] Stock Rooted OC3 ROM (5/31/2015)

STOCK ROOTED DEODEXED G925VVRU1AOC3
Disclaimer: This is the first full deodexed ROM available for the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. All I ask is that credits are provided and you are free to do what you want with this base ROM! Use it, Abuse it, Share it!
Keep in mind this ROM is COMPLETELY stock and I did run it and tested most functions and all worked for me.. Therefore I do not support this ROM as far as troubleshooting or any issues. If you have any issues, feel free to post in here but it will be up to myself and the community to help you since my main focus is my Extreme Syndicate ROM.

-The community.. If it wasn't for you guys using my work, sending positive vibes my way and the few people who are kind enough to compensate for the hours I put in on XDA then I would NOT be doing this.. I would most likely be on a stock ROM with my own debloat/modded ROMS that would never see the light of day on here.. THANKS TO YOU ALL!
-Let me know if I'm missing anyone so I can have them added!
Features:
-Rooted + Busybox
-Deodexed

1) Download ROM and place on phone storage

The ROM has been uploaded and link added to OP.

Running great, now I can mod and delete to my hearts content.

Interesting. I've tried to download the file 3 times and the download never completes. The last time I was at 99% for an hour. Guess I'll try one more time.

For those looking for double tap home I recommend this app

double tap home for camera should already work on this rom.
it needs this app on extreme syndicate but not on stock deodexed

That's weird. I just double clicked the home button and it said it activated camera for double tap home... Or something along those lines. Maybe try re-installing or re-downloading.

It's not looking good. I spent the last 5 hours trying every way I could think of but it gets stuck in a bootloop.. I've Odin'd multiple times and am done for the night trying lol
I updated my ROM to OE2.. what I figured you guys would like that I'm trying to get to boot is my rom + alliance framework...
The framework is for the g925f so I think the framework isn't working well with the g925v..
I can upload my work if any debs on here think they can help me get it to work...
