One short Question: A friend of me only wants to root his device,maybe recovery, but no custom rom,so:
is the step "4. ROM flashing ( Recovery ) + Modem " really neccessary? I'm a bit confused about that modem flash, thats new stuff to me.
Thanks in advance

If your friend only wants root and recovery, just have to use the guide to root then use freegee. BUT, currently a lot of users are facing bootloop issues with freegee, myself included, so if he's not likely to use custom roms for now I'd suggest to avoid it, just until its fixed. Hopefully XD
Also, modem flashing is to flash a working modem for your device in order for network service to work. Some roms built mainly for international or other versions of this device actually work on other versions, just that there's a lack of network service lol. Modem flashing helps in that regard. Correct me if I'm wrong here anyone

Thanks for your reply. If i'm reading correct, freegee is only needed for custom recovery? If so: the recovery was only optional, all we need for sure is root. If we can just stop after that we would be fine.

Yes ..more or less..if all you need is root, stay away from unlocking boot loader for now. By the way, xposed frame work is working fine. I even changed DPI settings using ROM tool box n phone is playing nice.
I have actually started enjoying stock ROM with root n custom dpis.

Can no longer find Canadian Carriers
Hi, I have an unlocked E988 and use to be able to find and connect to Virgin Mobile in Canada, but now it only finds Bell and Rogers which I'm not with.
I inserted my SIM card and flashed both of the baseband modem files you provided in your OP and still can't connect. What else could be the issue?

Sorry to inform you but the baseband you flashed is either of E980 AT&T or E988 india. So please find dev from canada and ask to provide him baseband of you carrier based ROM.

Question about AT&T E988
So I just traded my HTC One for this beautiful Optimus G Pro and I'm loving it so far. Although I do want to get it rooted and load a custom rom and kernel in the near future. Although I am now reading that AT&T released an update(......10p) that breaks the current root method. The best I can figure its the software version they are talking about. My S/W version is E98010p. Can anyone possibly please point me in the right direction to get this thing rooted? Thanks!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2633262 this worked for my e98010.consider yourself pointed

Actually i flashed the omni rom for e980 and i have already flashed the correct e988 modem, but my phone still can't search the phone signal until i chose it from the network operator in the setting manually. Every time when i reboot the phone, i have to repeat the above steps in order to grab the signal. How can i solve this problem?
My phone is E988 Taiwan version

Guys PLEASE HELP

Hi,
I just installed 3 different roms on my phone and none of them works fine.
I installed:
1. dr.krtans rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472270
2. [MK4]DN3(Ditto Note 3) ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502713
3. [Rom][Odin][4.3] N7100XXUEMK4 Knox Free - Non-Wipe
After every installation my phone has no network (e.g. it does not recognize my carrier).
I have no idea what to do. PLEASE PLEASE HELP me out here...

i'm running on doc v6.1 it's working great
maybe you would like to try other older modem to see if it support your area.
in Dr. Ketan's rom you get to choose whether you want to use MJ5 or MJ9 modem
if it still doesn't show any network. try the fix. doc have a link in the front page for that issue

do you have stock modem files backup? if yes just flash it

I flashed OmniRom and had the same problem as you, but I fixed it by rebooting my phone, reinserting my simcard and leaving my phone idle for a few minutes(probably 30 mins or so) and the carrier was recognized. Maybe this might help you.

Yes, if you didn't flash a custom DeOdexed ROM just flash the Odex ND8 hotspot zip from a CUSTOM recovery. Recommended custom recovery is the very latest PhilZ Touch Recovery.

Make a nandroid backup and try it out. It only replaces the services.jar so maybe.
My ROM: WICKED X

So I could just manually move the service.jar and if it don't work I can just recovery move back the old jar and make sure permissions match

getting a 405 "not allowed when trying to download ND8
I'm getting a 405 "not allowed" error when trying to download the ND8.zip from androidfilehost, it seems to have something to do with static posts and their ngenx server, i dunno, anyway, could someone upload the file to a different location (odexed and deodexed would be great, but the phone i'm working on is odexed), it would be much appreciated. Thanks!!!

Did you change the permissions to 0644? If not, the file is not installed and the phone can't boot without services.jar.

I wasn't aware I needed to do permissioning. Through what application do I accomplish this? So the process is: Copy new services.odex -> paste over old version-> modify permissions-> reboot? Also, do I need to do anything with the services.jar?

You can do it with root explorer. No.

At my wits end here. I had no problems at all installing from Philz recovery for my ND8 sprint galaxy s3, but having no luck at all for my Deodex NJ2 sprint galaxy s3. The flashable NJ2 Deodex file doesn't work (as already stated). Nor does the Deodex ND8 version in the first post. Any ideas? I also just tried Lensmonkeys method for the services.jar file in post #583, still didn't work. At least when I did a philz install of the Deodex ND8 file, android attempted to optimize apps at reboot--this didn't happen when I tried files from post #583.
I know I'm on a deodex version of NJ2 because the Odex versions got me stuck at the Samsung logo and necessitated several Odin flashes of my NJ2 file Is it possible to downgrade from NJ2 to ND8? Really no idea what to do now? Perhaps find another custom version of NJ2 and try again? This is driving me mad--I'm willing to try anything!
I got my NJ2 firmware from the samdown site for my L710, which I flashed using Odin--can't post the link unfortunately. So many restrictions for new members

You can't downgrade through Odin, you CAN flash any ND8 ROM in custom recovery like Philz (most custom ones have the hotspot mod included, like both of my ROMs - Wicked X and Wicked S5 Xperience... they both also have all the updates from NJ2 included).

Thanks, did that, no luck. I downloaded the 956mb ND8 firmware a second time, the installation keeps aborting. Verification failure. Assume bad download? No MD5 posted for those firmwares, so can't be sure? I'm brand new to rooting, so excuse my ignorance.
What I did:
1. copied SPR-L710VPUDND8-20140512143014.zip to SD on phone
2. went into Philz recovery
3. install from zip-->chose zip file
4. installation opens zip and immediately aborts
5. tried again with second downloaded SPR-L710VPUDND8-20140512143014.zip, still immediately aborts
6. then did "Wipe Data/Factory Reset, format /system, format /cache, wipe dalvik cache", tried to install zip again, still aborts
7. flashed NJ2 back with Odin (so nice fresh install)
8. installed Philz, rooted, moved ND8HotspotMod.zip (Deodex version) to SD
9. installed ND8HotspotMod with Philz, completed, reboots with app optimization
10. hotspot app works momentarily
11. Supersu disables Knox at my request
12. hotspot subscription error again
Absolutely no issues with my ND8 phone. Took me all of 20 minutes to get that one working. I think I've spent over 10 hours playing with this one NJ2 phone... Did I get the basics of installation wrong? Should I just go with Chad the Pathfinders custom NJ2 Deodex firmware, and then try the ND8 Deodex mod again? Or just try one of the wicked roms?

MD ROM issue
stock kernel doesn't work with m919n custom one works fine any way to get stock to work

adb issues
Anyone else getting this or have I done something foolish? I obviously have root and it's working, but I can't push via adb and I'm having trouble writing to the extSdCard even though the ROM includes the fix.
$ adb remount
remount failed: Permission denied
$ adb root
adbd cannot run as root in production builds

I really need some help here.
I have I337 GS4 on T-Mobile. I have had tried numerous T-Mobile TW based ROMs from 4.2 upto 4.4.2 and they have worked fine.
Now I have connections issues on 4.4.4 such as this one. I really want my phone to run this ROM but signal is completely lost after reboot and can't establish any connection with T-Mobile at all. I thought it was the T-Mobile 4.4.4 ROM issue so I tried MD v1.1 universal FNJ4 but it was giving me same no connection problem( tried both AT&T and T-Mobile on installation prompt but same lost connection issues).
It just works fine on KANGAPOP 5.0, 4.4 as well as SKYFALL. Connections are secure and smooth and stable on these ROMs right out of the box.
Does anyone know how I can fix the lost signal and have this ROM run on my i337? I have actually waited 14 months hoping iB4 would release T-Mobile based version that has WiFi calling yet I can not run this beautiful ROM on my phone yet due to this problem.

IR Blaster?
First off....Great Rom! I'm a addicted flasher and came back from Lollipop to this one.
Only problem I have is the IR Blaster seems to be not working.
I tried a bunch off apps but no go.....Can anyone tell me if theirs is working and with what app? Thanks!

Media_rw folder access in Titanium Backup?
Does anyone here use Titanium backup?
Is it all 4.4.4 ROMs, or just this one, where Titanium can no longer read the media_rw folder? It worked before on my last 4.4.2 ROM.
Looking at the media_rw folder access properties, it looks like it is properly set to r/w.
Using folders within this is the only way to get Titanium to 'protect' backups. It doesn't work if you point it to external SD storage any other way.

My phone isn't asking for a password on reboot or cold boot.
Settings: Screen lock with pin, lock after 10 minutes, power key instantly locks.

I have been using goldfinger v9 on the stock slot and testing many others on slot1.

Thanks for the reply. Great info for those who have post-MDL bootloaders. I got a beta-patch from op and the problems gone now with 4.4 modem and MDL bootloader. Only problem that I encountered was with Softcard app or a NFC wallet for T-mobile. this app worked fine on cutom roms based on 4.4.2 or prior versions but I think its the modem related as the softcard worked fine on pre 4.4.4 T-mobile ROMs while on MDL modem. More testing needs to be done I guess.

I'm having an issue where my sdcard get unmount by itself. Try a few kernels but still the same. Anyone else having save issue?

The infrared is not working, please fix the issue, thanks in advance

Change the kernel to stock or hispAsian. This has been mentioned in previous posts.

Sleep Of Death
First thing. ...great rom.....I've been using it as my daily driver for quite a while now. ...And I'm a flah-o-holic!
However, just recently I've been getting the sleep of death...I can't wake phone after it goes to sleep at times, I have to reboot to wake.
I have no plans on switching roms, so i may just dirty flash 1.3
Also, I am using Hispasian kernel 3.4.1.1
Any ideas for a fix?

Help with Rooting my SGS4 SGH-M919 UVUFNK2
Hi all,
yes I'm a nooby, and would like to root my T-Mobile phone to be able to customize it and use more favorable apps.
I have downloaded the MD 1.3 ROM, Odin, S4 drivers, Kies and I'm trying to follow the guide as much as possible
but it says to boot into custom recovery. Doesn't the phone need to be rooted first before I can Flash TWRP or CWM?
Sorry if I sound totally confused here..
If someone could please assist, I would be appreciative.
Thanks,
Michael

This is how I do it. First I copy supersu. Zip to my phone. Then I flash twrp using oden with auto reboot not checked. When its done I pull the cord then pull the battery. Then manually go to recovery. Install SuperSU. Then reboot to system and start SU and it tries to kill Knox and update binary (normal). At this point you have a rooted phone with stock fw and a custom recovery ready for a costom ROM. But I think this Dev says in one of the latest posts you can just install twrp and install ROM and it will root.

[I9300/I9305][KK 4.4.4] Stagefright patch for Samsung 4.4.4 based Roms [16/11/2015]

Stagefright Vulnerability
What is Stagefright?
In simple terms, Stagefright is an exploit which utilizes the code library for media playback in Android called libstagefright. The libstagefright engine is used to execute code which is received in the form of a malicious video via MMS, thus requiring only the mobile number of the victim to carry out a successful attack.
More info: Stagefright Explained: The Exploit That Changed Android
What can I do about it?
I've made a patch of the Stagefright libs from the latest i9305 Samsung official firmware updates, it should work on all i9300 Custom roms running Android 4.4.4 and perhaps also the n7100/n7105. I've tested the patch on my ported Note 4 custom roms, which are based on the famous back-to-n00t rom. As it appears, unfortunately not all bugs have yet been fixed, vulnerability CVE-2015-6602 still remains, Im hoping this will be fixed in further updates from Samsung, in that case I will update the patch.
● PATCH UPDATED, ALL VULNERABILITYS FIXED!! 16/11/2015
As for now you may follow the workaround for staying safe: open your messaging app and navigate to settings --> multimedia messages and uncheck ''Auto retrieve'', this option is checked by default, so it will auto download all contents in a MMS message leaving your device vulnerable for attacks. You should NOT open any MMS messages from unknown numbers not present in your contacts list, delete them immediately! You should be safe as long as you don't download the contents of such MMS messages.

Just reporting this patch working fine on GT-i9300 with back-to-n00t v8.
Much appreciated! :good:

Thank you for the patch. I tested on SHV-E250S with Eclipse V4 and N7105 with DN4 v2.2 and they are working fine.

StageFright PATCH Not Worked 4 ME
Hello
And Thanks For the Nice Work .
I see others reporting about the Stagefright Pach that it worked fine on their device , which is a very good news. But unfortunately it didn't worked on my device ( Galaxy S3 i9300 ). My Android is Custom Rom , OmniRom 4.4.4. and I downloaded the patch , & flashed it in recovery . After that , the phone frozes on the Omni logo when booting up & no matter how much I wait , nothing happens then. I don't know if I did something wrong , but fortunately I had a backup from a few days ago & Restored my phone to it .
i would like to know the reason ,but cant figure out myself . I'll be grateful if you point out a solution about my problem ( if possible ) . Finally , Thank you again for the work & time to read my post. Best Luck .:good:

The reason is that this patch is meant for Samsung stock rom based custom roms and not AOSP based roms, such as Omnirom, Cyanogenmod etc. I dont know if there are stagefright fixes in Omnirom sources included, but better you ask that to your rom developer/maintainer.

Ive updated the patch, the last remaining CVE is now fixed :good:

:good:Thank you for your job

Just reporting that the patch works on AMCHA ROM V 7.00.
Thank you for this.

yeah fully protected now! 4.4.4 XEO

Reporting successful installation and protection enabled on Eclipse ROM v5 for Samsung GT-N7100 Android 4.4.4. Thank you very much!!!!!

You need to test it with a app that you can download from playstore, its called ''Stagefright detector'' by Zimperium, after flashing the patch check it with the detector app, then you will see the image

Thanks!
Everything is OK!
I am "not vulnerable",
Nice!

Hello! It's there any possibility to make it work on 4.4.2 ( QS-i9300-ROM ) ?

Not this patch. The best you can do is keep track of the latest 4.4.2 firmwares for n7100/n7105 and extract their libs when available to check it.

Just to report, it works on Blekota Note 4 ROM v5.2. Big THX

Hello MaHo_66,
I tried to patch the latest QS - ROM with the security patch for the Galaxy S3 Sprint variant ( KitKat 4.4.2).
I extracted the lib files (stagefright) from the over-the-air update.zip and copied it in the lib folder on my phone, set permissions and run the test with the zimperium app without doing a reboot.
The result was OK. Just one leak left.
Then I want to reboot my phone, unfortunately it stucks at the SAMSUNG logo. The same problem as I would flash your patch.
I haven't found a new firmware (related to build date) for N7100 or N7105, that's the reason why I tried it with update for the Sprint S3.
Do you have any hints to solve this (reboot) problem?
Nexx
Edit: It seems that Sprint also released a stagefright patch for their Note 2 (L900). Maybe that works.
