The changes from that package have been included in the linux-msm kernel tree. No need for this package anymore. Try a recent build from the autobuild service:

maybe it is.
Fellas, I come to here, humble and contribed. I, as all others, have the dreaded gps bug. I know there are a few posts concerning it, however, those are starting to get confusing to me. I ask for some simple instructions as to simply root my device, and procedure to replacing the files that are to make it functional again. No debloating, flashing of ROMs, or etc. DL links would be nice too.
Phone specs:
At&t n900a
4.3 stock
baseband n900aucubnb4
build number jss15j.n900aucubnb4
Have rooted other samsung devices, so not totally an idiot...
Any help will be much appreciated

As well as other posts to many threads here, someone posts partial answers, or simply something they read. Thanks . People wonder why they brick their devices....SMH
You asked how to root p. Kingo app is as simple as it gets. And it doesn't trip your Knox counter. If you want 4.4.2 then I would suggest downloading the urdroid rom and following the detailed instructions. I'm running the stock kitkat rom rooted with no Knox counter trip. Not trying to be a prick but the kingo root method was as simple as pi

I'm not interested in kitkat, honestly, I dont care about custom ROMs. I just need to root, and the procedure for replacing the gps files that are to make the AT&T GN3 gps actually work. And possibly stop the updates.
if you're on the latest nb4 baseband than you'll need to google Kingo v.1.15 and find a download of that version. if you're still on mj5 than just google kingo app, download and install to a windows pc. open the app and follow the instructions. its easy. kingo should install the correct drivers. kingo doesn't always succeed the first time. if that's the case try again until kingo says success. once done update su superuser app via google play and restart your phone. now you have root. i don't have gps problems so hopefully someone else can help you with. good luck. sry i can't post any download links but if you use google you should have no problems
Honestly I'd just wait if I were you....
Rogers and tellus note 3 have gotten kitkat the s4 has gotten kitkat for att in looking for kitkat in the next few weeks to month.

Would some explain how to "flash" the gps files to fix the friggen thing. I have root with kingo, and downloaded the gpsfix from drakeymcmb, but 2 folders are extracted and only one is told what to do with, as well as how to change permissions for the files...thanks in advance

Ignore the meta folder. You're not "flashing" these files, you're copying them to your phone's system folder. Open the zip and open the system folder, then open the etc folder. Now copy the gps.conf file to your phone's system/etc directory. Now go back to the gpsfix.zip and open system then open lib. Copy the 3 libloc files to your phone's system/lib directory. Go back to the zip. Open system, open lib, open hw. Now copy the 2 GPS files to the phones system/lib/hw directory. Change each files properties to rw-r-r(Fix permissions). Now reboot. Warning if you don't know what you are doing i don't recommend doing this as messing with system files can lead to very expensive paperweight

Thanks! This is what I needed, I understand the risks, but also know the reward is a functioning gps, the meta folder and how to change the permissions is what was holding me back.
So on permissions, just rw, r,r no execute on any right? Now how to disable att updates? Thank goodness for yall smart fellas

Sry for the late reply. Owner=read write, group=read, other=read. No execute
To disable AT&T updates, freeze the at&t update app. (Sorry, I can't get the name right now, I'm on a ROM that had it removed, but it's at&t <something to do with updates>, with little red and green lines on the icon.) Link2SD or TiB will freeze it.
One more quick ?, When I open Super SU, a popup appears, Samsung KNOX has been detected. This might limit root capabilities and cause annoying popups. Try to disable KNOX? I have always cancelled the popup. Is that correct? or should I ok it? Again, thanks guys for all the help. I used my gps without fail all weekend long. Not a single problem, gps or phone wise. Wonder if I was to unroot using Kingo app, and leave the gps patch alone, if it would still get OTA?
Hi!
I have rooted my phone, and deleted bloatware using uninstall.
After reboot, the apps returned, so I deleted /system/apps/*.apk (relevant) files (I'd also like to know what are the *.odex files if someone can kindly tell me )
Then, I rebooted again, and again they were... I have read in previous threads that flashing the kernel is needed. Is that so? And if so, how can it be done?
Thanks!

You need a custom kernel with /system write permission (unsecured kernel) .
You will not be able to install ota updates if you mess with /system files.
Thanks!

for future reference, you can also stay on stock kernel (dont really know why ) and do the changes in custom recovery (eg TWRP)
if you want a relatively easy file manager for custom recovery, check out Aroma File Manager... that would save you the hassle of using an adb shell
oh, and if all is good now, can you also edit main thread title to include [SOLVED], thanks
edit the first post -> at the bottom of the edit window, click Go Advanced, and then you can edit main title
Im on Android M preview 2 with Desparis 3.3 kernel, rooted.
I would like to update build.prop and change user -> userdebug.
Before on Lollipop all I had to do is remount /system in rw and change the file.
Android M doesn't allow me to remount /system in rw.
adb push fails to overwrite the file.
Any solutions please ?

I dont think you can write to system at all anymore, even with root. I do it all in recovery for right now.
Thanks! At least it's one possible solution !

Actually, can you elaborate how do you do it ?
I've just tried booting into TWRP, then connected the phone to PC, did adb push of changed build.prop into /system, reboot the phone and realized that the phone still has the old build.prop.

First in twrp make sure you mount system in the mount menu then you should be able to push and pull. You probably pushed the file nowhere even though I think you should've got a error message. I pulled the build.prop straight from twrp edited it then pushed it right back. Did it for the tethering hack. ? ?

I didn't think write to system was working in the M builds. Must be something wrong with his root method.

Root works great in all apps.
The only problem I have is with RO system. Before M I would use ES explorer to modify and save build.prop and Android Terminal to remount system as RW. But it doesn't work like that anymore in M.
Ive never tried root explorer.

I'm on Preview 2, rooted, Despair kernel 3.3.
Still confused as to how to enable mounting /system r/w from within Android and not TWRP. Trying FX file explorer as well as Terminal Emulator with no success. I have Busybox installed and under Applet Manager it shows the "Mount" applet as installed and symlinked to /system/bin/toolbox.

Root Explorer FTW. Always works and same file system as shows on PC.
Well Root Explorer wasn't the answer, surprisingly enough haha...
Needed insecure boot.img obtained here flashed with help from this thread, with further reading here for better understanding or doing it yourself.
Also I apparently forgot that adbd insecure by chainfire exists until just now, which could have potentially been another solution.
Hi everyone,
I have a G925A 128 GB running 5.0.2 (OE2) and rooted with Ping-Pong. While attempting to block OTA update, I inadvertently
deleted com.ws.dm using Titanium Backup. I don't have a backup to restore the original. Consequently, the "Software Update" button is unresponsive. Consistent with this, I repeatedly keep getting a popup, which says that "Package name: com.ws.dm missing". This is annoying. I have tried a bunch of things to see if this will go away, but all in vain. Is there a way to restore this file? Any help would be most appreciated.

Download stock rom, pull said file from stock rom, push to your device and never delete again this can all be done using a root file manager right on your device

Thanks very much indeed JR for that tip. Would you please tell me where I can fetch the stock rom from? I have root explorer installed on my device. However, I am afraid that I have never used it for the said purpose.

Honestly if that doesn't work any of the roms in zip format in the development section will work, just navigate to the DL and through the system files to the one you deleted, extract from stock rom, copy and then paste into the same place you are missing the file. Set permissions to the same as the others in that file and reboot!
