Thanks to JT1134 I was able to get the recovery compiled and gave that to Noobnl so he place that into his Hijack super script. SO, dont forget to thank JT1134 for that! Also thank codeworkx for his repo since that was used!

I thought this script was pretty cool when noobnl told me about it...
INSTRUCTIONS FOR INTEL MAC & LINUX:
Note: Mac and Linux users may be prompted to enter administrative password, as adb server requires sudo permissions to start.
No drivers required.
Extract the zip file.
Put the run.sh inside the directory you just extracted.
Open Terminal. Use the cd command to get to the directory. If you extracted inside the Downloads folder, it would be easy in Terminal as so:
Code:
cd ~/Downloads/epic.aio.v2.01
Now give permissions and run it:
Code:
chmod +x run.sh
./run.sh
THANKS TO FIRON FOR CODE MAKING THE SAME SCRIPT BOTH INTEL MAC AND LINUX COMPATIBLE.

Wow, thanks! Downloading now and gonna install immediately!
If it works (and I believe it will), then I can only say thanks A LOT to you, Deodex and drockster for this.

Sweet, grabbing now.

It works, but its pretty rough. The screen flickers, and sometimes the navigation is kinda iffy. But backup/restore works and you can flash .zips.. and that's whats important. This should get polished in the next week or so
How did you guys get it to work? Whenever I run that run.bat, it gives me a massive list of "ping is not a recongized command" and "Tab is not a recognized command" and finally ends up doing nothing
I moved the extracted directory to the root of my drive, and it actually made a bit of a difference, as the batch file went a bit further. But still, it ended up doing nothing...
Any ideas?

This is something that Noobnl has put together with using his other script. As far as getting recovery fully functional and not having the screen flicker and others issues, I will continue working on that.
Thanks to JT1134 I was able to get the recovery compiled and gave that to Noobnl so he place that into his Hijack super script. SO, dont forget to thank JT1134 for that! Also thank codeworkx for his repo since that was used!
Anyway the continue development of this will be discussed on the #ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet channel!
YES Thanks to all that helped!! This would have saved me a couple days ago. Good to know that its available now.
It does flicker when you scroll the options, but at least it works!
I'll try again:

I have not loaded this myself. I do not have windows machine. Go to the Irc channel to get some more help or ask Noobnl or other thread. He said to run the run.bat I think it needs to be where you have sdk or adb?
works as advertised. hopefully we get a fix on that flickering issue. thanks!

If you don't know how to run a batch file in Windows, then you might want to consider switching to a Mac
Noobnl has packaged this into a one-click method... you just extract the folder into your /android-sdk-windows/tools folder and double click run.bat while your phone is connected to USB with USB debugging enabled.
If you still can't figure it out, then you should just give up pal

Can some post a clean nandroid backup?
Thank you for your efforts!
I am a noob in flashing or compiling custom roms though (locked bootloader on my only other android device, the Motorola Milestone).
I have read that this allows us to inject a nandroid backup into the rom, but would like to know more. What are the benefits of this recovery? What can it be used for? Can i for example flash a stock android build onto my Tab?
Thanks in advance for some helpful, non flamer answers...
I hope some clever, kind soul can help me here. I just tried to backup my current rom using rom manager and now my phone can't mount my sd card or read my sim. I think it may have something to do with amonra recovery which I thought I'd failed to install but now appears when I go into recovery. Even when I mount a different sd card the phone can't read it. I think I'm well out of my depth here but am crossing everything hoping for assistance.
Okay I've read and read and read for the last 3 hours and I'm still totally clueless. The phone won't connect to pc either. Any help would be appreciated. Time for 3 hours sleep now
Classic USB Brick. Don't worry, try this: http://android.modaco.com/content/h...com/309939/usb-brick-rickrolled-b0rked-fixed/
Thanks but I'm confused. My hboot is 0.93 and when I follow the next link it seems to suggest I need to downgrade hboot. Is this right or am I being really stupid?
Or is it this I should be following:
2. Enable the SD Card functionality. Boot your phone in FASTBOOT mode (back + power), and enter this command: 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' . This will re-enable your SD card.
If so, I don't understand how to enter any command here. There is no option to enter anything. Once again any replies would be very welcome
You have to install Android SDK in order to issue those commands. http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Okay thanks for your patience. I'll do that next. Don't leave me

Try uninstalling SDK and Java, reinstall Java and after that SDK.

Try running it as "administrator".
You can use the ZIP version , unzip it , then dowload the tools using the manager , or download only the tools package
little trick :
If you want to use the installer anyway , hit the "back" button when you get the java error , then next again . The error should vanish. worked for me

It seems to be downloading a whole bunch SDK platforms quite slowly. Does that sound right? Thanks again btw

You just need the tools , not the whole developpement platform.
Just select the SDK tool in the package window
Here is an interesting article that will help you if you want CRT screen Off animation like in Nexus S:

Probably no. Most likely you will end up with phone freezing on the Samsung logo at boot. framework-res.apk files are not interchangeable between models, maybe not even between firmware versions for the same phone.
Can you post a step by step guide then? I can't really understand anything here
The step-by-step instructions from the link in the first post are pretty much what i did. Read the comment by ravenstark - if you mount the filesystem with root explorer there will be no need to execute the commands in red in section 8.
The instructions from the link in your post cover steps 3-7. You still have to download the file to your PC (1), decompile it (2) and upload it back to the phone once you are done with it (8).
For the first step which terminal do you use??
(Free Your Android guide)
adb. If you don't have you can download it from here. It is part of the SDK and probably the most essential tool.
The command is exactly as written there
Aquethys said:

What do you mean? If you're using a Windows PC, then just open up a cmd prompt. You should read the guides at the beginning of that page so you know how to setup adb and the apk tool.
The big picture is this. Connect your pc to computer, pull file from phone to PC using adb, modify file on PC, push file back to phone using adb.
For what it's worth, here's a thread I wrote quite a long time ago, some is not applicable for the Glide, but most of it still applies. If you're going to be mucking around in your phone it's best to know how to do a few things first. Read Before Flashing.
When I try and open SDK or AVD (what's the difference :| ) then I just get a quick terminal screen that closes.
It would be appreciated if someone could just create a flashable CWM version >_<
I hate my inexperience @ this. It keeps saying this isn't "adb" isn't recognized, but I've downloaded it! How can I check?!

Ok, so what have you done so far?
What should be done. Assuming you're using Windows, install the Android SDK. Once installed, launch the SDK Manager. Then from the list of installable options, choose the Platform Tools and I always like to get the drivers. Once done, you will have this path, CrogramFiles(x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools, now you could add this path to your variables in Windows, which would be easiest, or copy the Platform-tools folder to C:. Then plug in your phone via USB to your computer.
Now, if you added the Path to your variables, just go Start>Run>cmd, and at the cmd prompt type adb devices. If you see a device you're good.
If you copied the Platform-tools folder over, then Start>Run>cmd, and in the cmd prompt type,
C:
then
cd platform-tools
then
adb devices
Beyond that, can't really help, never use apk tool. Good luck.

Attached to this post is a CWM update with CRT Screen OFF and battery icon with percent for ROGERS ROM. I'm not sure this will work on AT&T ROM.
Make a backup before applying this update so you can restore if you end up stuck on SAMSUNG logo on boot.
Apologies to the author of the battery mod - I couldn't find his post to link to here...

Hopefully the file tcfx44 posted works for you. Either way, I highly suggest you learn how to use adb and some other tools if you plan on flashing your phone in the future. It could prove useful some day.
Will this apply over OsiMood? I really am not sure if I am using the Rogers, but apparently I am because in XDA App it says I927-R and same with a benchmark.
Doesn't work for OsI mood 2.1.30 or whatever version was released today. I don't want to give up the amazing UI and stuff of OSi. I'm working fine though, so doesn't look like the install failed or bricked. Any revisions?

Hi pals,
This is one of those "I'm too busy to research A, B and C, please feed it to me with a silver spoon?" posts, and for that, I'm sorry.
I'm working a lot lately, but I just bought my S4 and have come to understand that in order to root it with the May 7th update, I must follow different instructions. The problem is, I need to do this on a Mac, and therefore need to use Heimdall to do it. Not only do I not know anything about Heimdall, but I've been out of touch with the rooting/ROMming scene for a while now.
Could someone please sum up a step-by-step for a Mac user trying to root their S4 that's got the May 7th update on a Mac?
Go to an Internet Cafe or something.
Not being a jerk, but i'd rather go to kinko's than do it with a mac
That being said check out zedomax's

Unfortunately this is a matter of not having time on my hands. I have these random little bits of 10 minutes here and there in my life lately and I can only hope to root this phone during one of them lol
I'm going to Google this video though, really appreciate the heads up.
Edit: After searching, are one of these videos Mac specific and geared towards post-May 7th-update users? They're all kind of looking the same to me and I can't open them all.

Download this Heimdall Suite for MAC here: https://github.com/downloads/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall/heimdall-suite-1.3.2-mac.dmg
After it's downloaded install the suite.
The Suites package contains the frontend which uses a Graphical User Interface simular to Odin for windows.
Here is the link for the STOCK Tmobile Heimdall flashable Samsung Galaxy S4 Touchwiz Jellybean 4.2.2 official firmware:
http://k0nane.info/rom/M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_TMB.zip
After you download the firmware, unzip and extract the TAR file and then extract all the files which are inside the TAR file
into a new folder on your computers desktop.
Be sure that you have installed the proper samsung usb drivers for your phone before trying to use Heimdall.
Download and Install the Heimdall Suite. (this is a Odin replacement for the MAC)
Using Heimdall
Step 1: Run/Execute “heimdall-frontend”
Step 2: When Heimdall opens there will be different slots to put files into, the filenames correspond to the name of the slots.
Navigate to the new folder on your desktop which has all the files you have extracted out of the .tar file
Example: Under FactoryFS click browse and find the FactoryFS.rfs file that you extracted out of the .tar file into your new folder.
When you’re finish double check that the correct files are in the correct slots.
Make sure that you do not checkmark the repartition device!
Step 3: Check to be sure that all the necessary files are in the right slots and the necessary checkboxes are checked.
When you’re finish reboot your phone into download mode and connect it to the usb port that you installed the drivers to.
Wait for about 5 secs. to let your computer recognize that your phone is plugged in the usb then click START.
Wait for Heimdall to complete finish the flashing.
You should get a “flash completed successfully” after it's done and the phone will now restart.
Good Luck!

Edit: Wait, can I just rename the md5 to zip? Duh?

Ok, so I think I may be having an issue due to using the latest version of Heimdall. I've checked out the guide on Heimdall here and it's based on version 1.1. I have version 1.3.2 and I don't see anywhere to select certain files. All I seem to be able to do under "Flash" is select a PIT file, which I don't have.
I tried to "Load Package" on the first screen, but it's telling me it's not the right file size.

Sorry, I forgot about the MD5, just remove the md5 from the filename so the extension is simply .zip
then unzip it into a new folder on your desktop...

It's been so long since I used a mac, I know I am forgetting things.
You need to click the BROWSE box in Heimdall Suite's Front-End which opens another window where you can "navigate"
to the TAR file which is located in the zipfile. (you don't need to use pit or any other files besides the TAR for anything).
Just unzip the ZIP file so Heimdall can see the TAR file when you navigate to it with the Heimdall's Front-End.
Good luck!

Ok, haha, I feel so bad because I'm being a pest at this point.
I've got the files, 12 of them, extracted to a folder.
I'm using Heimdall version 1.3.1.
When I open Heimdall-frontend, I'm presented with two options (others are greyed out): Either load a Heimdall Firmware Package under "Load Package" tab, or load a PIT under "Flash"
I see a space for "Partitions (Files)" where I'm assuming I would add the individual files, but again, it's greyed out.
What am I missing here? I checked out the Heimdall guide here and it looks totally different given that it's version 1.1.

Do you see a "Browse" box?
Click the BROWSE box and it will be looking for a TAR file which you navigate to.
Also, don't do anything with PIT files, you don't need it and if done wrong or incomplete your phone will be bricked
exactly the same way as if you were to flash a pit file in Odin.
The PIT file is the partition information file, and once that's on your phone it never needs to be replaced or over-written
unless your phone is bricked.

You're talking about a Browse button under Heimdall Firmware Package? Yes.
Do I just navigate to the TAR.md5 that I extracted from the original zip? Or am I navigating to a TAR file in the folder I made with the 12 files? Because if it's the second one, I don't have any TAR files in there.
Sorry man, I know this is a pain. I really appreciate the help though.

Check this out: https://code.google.com/p/heimdall-one-click/downloads/list
Download and install both of the files, both of them are JAR free standing apps and they work on Mac OR PC since
they are both written in JAVA.
.
I forgot already, but on a PC before these files can be used the latest version of Sun System JAVA has to be installed
or updated..
But I think if I recall correctly, on a mac it's perhaps not needed.

So I've got it all running, however, the one-click asks for a "tar.gz file" and I don't have one. I'm reading that the Heimdall front-end creates a tar.gz file, but since browsing to the .zip I originally downloaded leads to an error, I'm not sure how this is done.

Yes, about an hour ago I recalled a guy here on XDA called Adam Outler and he is
the one who designed and made these two JAR Heimdall applications.
He used to be around here in XDA about a year ago and I just recalled his name
about an hour ago because we were talking about MAC and Heimdall.
He made many other projects for us here in XDA who had MAC computers
and had no access to a PC.

That's amazing. The never ending kindness of the community at its best lol
I'm still trying to figure out how to make a tar.gz file. I'm understanding that front-end makes it, and I've even watched a video guide, but no one specifies what file to use when you click "Browse..." and choose a file to put in as "Heimdall Firmware File"
I've been using the original .zip I downloaded from the rooting guide, but I get that error about the file being the wrong size or something.
So I tried to download the PIT just to see if I can even make parts of this program work. It failed.
When I researched the error "Claiming interface failed" I found this.
It describes some sort of issue with the fact that I've installed Kies.
Is this part of my problem?

Did you rename the TAR file? - if you did try naming it back to the original name.
All firmware TAR files are fully compatible with Heimdall and Odin plus Heimdall One-Click..
Also I know one thing for sure, that when you press the "Browse" button it's looking for a TAR file.
The MD5 just tells the winzip or winrar if the checksum of the file is the same as it's sopposed to be.
Another thing, the Heimdall One-Click JAR file also wants the TAR file, none of these things work
with Zipfiles with the exception of Mobile Odin, but that has a problem now, it's not yet compatible
with any of the Galaxy S4 variants like the M919 , I9500 and all the others.

Here's exactly what I've done so far, and I've re-downloaded everything so I have fresh files and filenames/extensions just to clear any mucking up I did:
I downloaded this file from this thread as I understand this is the stock firmware necessary to use here.
I unzipped the file, and used 7-zip to extract the tar.md5 which also extracted a .dll.
The tar.md5 file is named: M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_M919UVUAMDL_HOME_.tar.md5
I have installed Heimdall version 1.3.1 as the download site claims that version 1.3.2 broke compatability with many devices.
I downloaded the two .jar files you linked to which make up the one-click.
If all of this is correct so far, I'm understanding that I need to now feed a tar.gz file to heimdall one-click, however, I don't have any files that end in .gz. Just the tar.md5, which the one-click does not accept.
The button on the one-click literally says, "Select a Heimdall tar.gz for one-click" - So I'm lost there.
I'm reading that the front-end GUI is what would be used to create a tar.gz, but it seems to require downloading the PIT file from your phone, and this is failing now, possible due to me having installed Kies and now having different kernel extensions that apparently need to be unloaded (no idea how to do that lol).
This is so complicated! Makes me want to go buy a cheap netbook lol

So I've got it all running, however, the one-click asks for a "tar.gz file" and I don't have one. I'm reading that the Heimdall front-end creates a tar.gz file, but since browsing to the .zip I originally downloaded leads to an error, I'm not sure how this is done.

Why not browse to the TAR file, you can also add the .gz to the filename.tar and see if it helps.

I've tried that too, and it just says, "error Could not write to temp folder" and then "Could not write to file"
Hi all! This is just my 2 cent for sending (in easy way) files to android, when you have format your sdcar, and you do not have an operating system installed
>> A very big thanks to developers of Galaxy Nexus Toolkit <<
1) Boot your device into Recovery Mode
2) Start Galaxy Nexus Toolkit (you need the drivers on your computer)
3) Connect your phone to PC
4) Copy your Rom or other files in "C:Galaxy Nexus ToolKit\put_files_to_push_here"
5) On Galaxy Nexus Toolkit, select "13 - Push Files to Device", now write "2", and then, "YES"
6) Write the name of file, WITH the extension (for example, gapps.zip)
7) The software asks you where to transfer the file, write /sdcard/ and wait
8) At the question of whether to assign permissions, write NO
Now you can flash your rom, or do anything else.
This is all, I hope it can be useful to all those who have rash about adb shell :laugh:
Adb push [final directory] [filename with extension]
E.g.
adb push /data/media/0 gapps.zip
Not rocket science, any anyone who cannot even comprehend what's in the toolkit should not even be flashing ROMs and other stuff, least the HALP threads in the Q&A.
Good effort for the thread though.
Beamed from my Maguro.
Easy ways to do that is using TOTAL COMMANDER with adb plugins installed.
Only drag and drop file that you need to copy....

Come on guys, this is not a challenge to the method most badass. This is an easy way for those who have not yet mastered Android, and can remain immobilized after a format of the sd

If you truly want to help them, you would show them how to use the tools themselves, not the finished product. How hard can it be?

Easy way? Mastered Android? WTH? Fastboot/ADB ARE the basics, don't think that, because you can follow instructions or a help output, you've mastered Android.
It's WAY more difficult to help someone when they're not entering the commands themselves.
And not to mention that this topic, HAS BEEN discussed a ZILLION times.

You don't care? That's fine, but I do care. Are you trying to "teach" people into being dummies? Or are you trying to fill up your thanks meter?
Your... "work"?? All you've done here is describe/summarize the steps that are described on that toolkit's thread. Now that you have 10 posts or more, you can post on the dev section, and help people use the toolkit on ITS OWN thread, instead of creating junk and cluttering the forums.
Useless thread. Delete this post if you want, mod team, like you've done before on other ocasions.
