I got my SCH-S960L and was told by Straight Talk it wasn't activated in store(walmart) so they couldn't get me set up. If I flash a stock Sprint Rom will I be able to activate this phone by using other methods? Please help, I have a great phone I can't use! (I didn't steal it!)
What do they mean activated in store. These are prepaid obviously so they have no one to call to activate.If I'm not mistaken, the only thing walmart scans is the upc barcode which is only to verify its part of their inventory. So, hypothetically, I believe, even if you did steal it you should still be to get it activated. Straight talk customer service has absolutely no idea what's going on ever but I still like yhe phone service. Try buying a BYOP package. They come with an activation card and then just go to the website and activate from there, you may not even need the activation card just the meid and as long as the phones legit you should be good.

If you dial ## 72786# and it will reset the phone and bring up the hands free activation . Then u need to go to the straighttalk website and go activate phone and activate it and itll auto program itself

I have the Samsung galaxy S4 with Metro PCS (SGH-M919N) I put the OUDHS-Recovery-jfltetmo-1.0.3.3 on my phone but im not able to update OTA. but all i want to know is how do i get the stock recovery hack on my device.
You won't be able to get the updates if you are rooted.
What I would do is flash a stock based rom.
Then it will get updated by the rom creator when updates are updated.

As many of you know, the at&t 4.4.2 firmware came out today. WHICH, leads me to me question.
I am rooted and have the at&t no-knox Rom installed. This rom is close to stock, except it just doesn't have knox.
Can i update to 4.4.2 through this rom or will i get some sort of error.
I was on stock rooted 4.3 and flashed a custom kit Kat ROM just fine.

Do you know if I would be able to update? I'm on 4.3 stock and I have clockwork flashed too.
Well I tried to update from 4.3 rooted with Knox removed and it failed. Keep in mind though...the phone has been jtagged and had the iemi fixed. Don't know if that's the issue or not. It would not update...the install failed every time. Although the phone still works fine....just stuck on 4.3. So...it won't hurt your phone if it fails.

if im on 100% stock 4.4.2 can i flash custom roms?
Of course. ..but there are risks and consequences if you do. ..
First is root...and while rooting 4.4.2 is simple. ..it "will" trip your Knox counter and render your device warranty null and void...
If you don't mind losing warranty. ..then you have many custom rom options available to you. ..
But before any flashing starts...you need to familiarize yourself with the terminology of flashing firmware images. ..and understand what to do if you get into trouble. ..
The development section for our note 2 device has several threads you should read. ..
Start with the CF AUTO ROOT thread from "chainfire"...As this thread is the preferred method of rooting this device. ..
Once you have learned the basics...and understand how the process works. ..you will have gained control over your device and will be empowered to dig deeper into the device and make it your own. ..
But again. ..I can't emphasize enough. . The importance of "reading for comprehension"...
These devices are complex machines that need the right software running in all of the right places or havoc will soon follow. ..
Give me a few minutes and I'll post up some links to get your reading started. ..g
