Help - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

I don't know if this is the right group
I tried posting and it said not enough points etc
I apologize please move if not correct
I have a s4 m919 t-mobile I rooted it using cf autoflash works great now trying to install trwp when I install using odin comes right back to stock. I look to use lineage. Any idea on how to do all of this. Thank you
Reason I want to do this having issues with twitter mostly and Facebook live videos.
I also notice I am running the latest 4.4.4
However there is a new update t-mobile pulled but still listed on there site. It's also available on several Samsung websites. Should I upgrade to the pulled rom or ?
Any ideas
Thank you

To install twrp: open Odin, uncheck everything except f reset time, flash twrp, remove the USB cable from the phone when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove the battery, replace the battery, boot into recovery using the button combination.

Thank you I

Thank you I got it working
Thank you for the help I have lineage installed. Wow so fast. How ever when trying to root it I get a error says binary occupied. If I uninstall I get no root available. How do I install root ? Thank you so much

Which baseband version did you have before flashing LineageOS?? I flashed LineageOS and now the SIM card isn't getting detected including a handful of sensors too. It would really help me if you could say which baseband version you had used.
Thanks in advance

Need help with flashing custom recovery (Solved)

Hi I was rooted using cmenards int rom and I decided top use odin to go back to stock so I could do the update so I can get the new modem. It is how I have always done things when an update comes out even though I know I am going to root and use a custom I like to have a currrent stock backup and the latest modem. I am not new to this.so I dont know what is up.
I am using pc odin 3.07 i put the file in PDA and I tried to install the twrp with odin and it says that it worked but when I boot into recovery it is still stock. So I tried the CWM for the 7100 with the same results. (both of them I have used before with no problem) So I tried to redownload everything still the same resutls then I tried resetting everything and no luck. I gotta say I am stumped. The only thing I can think of is I was going to use kies to do the update but it was on my pc before but It hads to do an update so maybe the updated version of kies is doing something annd as it turned out I didnt need to use kies I just used the ota. So I am uninstalling it now as I type but I dont think it will do anything.
Can anyone help me please?

It's a known issue on newer android devices, it will automatically reflash the stock recovery. Try using goomanager or exynos abuse, I'm positive one will ask you if you want to disable it (I remeber it popping up)
Oooh I read about that so thats what it is. Goo manager does not work I tried but what is ths other thing. I guess I have to get it here? I will google it I see it is not in market thank you. So if that does not work how do I get around this?
Okay I figured it out. And I actually didnt even haver to hook up to my pc. I was ****ting (which is where I come up with all my good ideas.) And I remember reading about the security hole in the exynos processor and the app chainfire came up with. Which turns out to be the exynos abuse app that killahurtz was talking about. So I remembered that with the app you can use the exploit to root so I downloaded the .apk and installed and rooted and then used goo.im app to install the latest twrp. So thanks to killahurtz for recomending it and chainfire for the app and exploit and samsung for being a little bit dopey One thing I am still wondering is how would you solve this problem if the security hole did not exist? I know I saw something in the toolkit about it So if this didnt work would In have been able to hookup tob the pc and use the toolkit without having root access?
In ExynosAbuse, it gives you the option to plug the hole after you have rooted, only thing is you may break your camera in the process. I would just stay away from pirated and sketchy apps for now.

Gonna lose it - 4.3 "Security Notice - unauthorized access..."

I searched all yesterday and today and cannot re-root after upgrading from 4.1.2 to 4.3. I always do a ton of searchs no matter what forum I'm on because I don't want to seem lazy like some others out there but this is beyond me. I registered so I could make a thread and this is what I have and the situation:

I took the phone back to stock using unroot through SuperSU and upgraded from 4.1.2 to 4.3 OTA with no problems. I've been trying to re-root using numerous combinations (ODIN3 v3.07) and no matter what I do the Samsung Security notice blocks rights to SuperSU (beta v1.76) and Titanium Backup Pro so it won't root. This is the message I get:

The most recent md5 file I've tried is CF-Auto-Root-d2usc-d2usc-schr530u.tar.md5 but nothing else has worked either. I'm at my wits end and my brain is about ready to explode.

I have same phone. Recently went to Slimbean (4.3.1). I have Triangle Away and it couldn't access root. I also used CF-Auto-Root. Used a root check app, it says I am rooted. Odin also said device passed. Super User says I am missing a binary and I need to root manually. Trying to find that info
If you find anything out please let me know. A root checker says I'm rooted but I can't access SuperSU or Titanium backup as the S3 is blocking it.
Did you get the Slimbean 4.3.1 for USCC and if so where?
There was just a new SuperSU update and it granted me access to everything. I asked if I wanted it to disable KNOX and I said yes. Titanium Backup works and so does Triangle Away. I think I'm good to go.
How did you update?

How did you update to 4.3? Did you use the simple update you can download to computer, or did you use Kies? I'm not having any luck with either. I chatted twice with a Samsung Tech person, but neither one had any help for me. Just thought I'd check to see if you could help me. It's not easy finding someone else on here with US Cellular. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I tried to download the simple update but my phone wouldn't update to the 4.3 so I did it over the air. You probably know but the OTA software update is in "about device." We have four S3s in our home and only one of them hasn't been able to get the download OTA yet. The only bug that I've found is when you start the phone it will show numerous downloads in the notifications and they will come back even if you clear them. The way to get rid of them is to go to the download icon (green arrow) and clear all the downloads and restart. Hope this helps.

I have downloaded the simple update, but get an error msg while trying to install to computer. (1152: error extracting) whatever that means. I uninstalled all Samsung anything from my computer, restarted, shut off firewall & Norton, downloaded again, but same thing while trying to install to computer. I updated to 4.1.2 this way, but keep getting an error on 4.3 update.
I tried to go through Kies. It updated Kies to 2.6, it said Kies3 was for 4.3. When I tried to hook into Kies, it refuses to accept my IMEI #. Says its incorrect. wth. The Samsung Chat Tech told me USCellular 4.3 update wasn't available yet through Kies OTA.
When I tried to get the 4.1.2 update through the phone, it would never give it to me. Even though I unrooted and used Triangle Away, it still knew my sg3 was modified. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Do you have any suggestions ? I'm not very tech savvy when it comes to these phones.
I'm sorry to bother you with this, but it's rare to find someone with USCellular on here. Thank you so much for your time.
I got the error message too so something is wrong with the download from Samsung/USCC. Just keep trying to do the OTA update and maybe it will go through. My GUESS is that Samsung and USCC stopped doing the update because of a couple bugs or issues. The reason I say that is I updated mine one day (worked), my wife's the next (worked), my son's the next days later (worked) and tried my other son's a couple days later and no update for him. I unrooted mine before the update without doing triangle away so I don't know if that really has anything to do with it at all. However, it does have to be unrooted if you do the OTA. Good luck!
I used Triangle Away, then unrooted. My phone still says 'modified' even though counter no longer says 2. When I try OTA through the phone, it constantly sticks on 'checking for updates'. I'm sure it's because it still says modified. I tried using Kies, my phone will not connect. Keeps saying my s/n is incorrect. I understand my IMEI has been corrupted.
I have started a thread on here for some help in how to get the 4.3 update.
Thank you so much for trying to help me. I will be eligible for an upgrade soon. I just may have to wait to have anything more than 4.1.2.
Again, thank you.
Samsung

it looks to me like samsung are finally making a stand against rooting although i do not agree with this as i use an app called freedom and when i open it i get a security issue from Samsung
The only reason i left iphone for samsung was because i felt like they had something other apple with hardware and i was happy to do this as i could get root access but for now i see that this might not be possible for a while.
i recommend installing a normal superuser.apk and that might work but i cannot check this right now as i am out
i hope this little bit of information did help in anyway

[Q] SM-T217s - my first ever brick.

Hi friends. Long time lurker here.
I've had many Samsung phones and many other android devices, but this is my first brick.
I had flashed the rooted SM-T217s rom, and the wifi wasn't working, so I tried to reflash it, at which point everything went wonky. I searched the forums and found some threads on bricked 217s's, but nothing specific to my situation.
The tablet went to the emergency firmware update screen, and I haven't been able to get Kies to even recognize it. I try to Odin back to the latest stock (B8) but it fails at 'Get PIT for mapping.' My google-fu tells me this is not a good thing.
Am I hosed here? What else can I try?
Thanks XDA, you're my only hope.

Good news, I guess. I was able to flash TWRP recovery and the stock rooted rom from another computer, but now Wifi is borked and there's no network connection. HALP.

Okay well I fixed it.
Turns out, the problem was that I was using Odin on a VM on my Mac. I had tried to use a PC, but I think the USB controller was too old, so that failed too. I had to use Heimdall to flash each of the partitions from the B8 zip manually. It worked, and I'm back in business, though not rooted. I suppose I'll wait until there's a better way to root before I try it again.

Ok guys. Heres my deal with this TAB. Ive rooted... Unrooted. wipe wipe wipe wippty wipe . WiFi not working. Fixed it with NB8. So here now I sit with:
----NB8 Wifi works---
----TWRP-----
Yup, pathetic i know. I cant even get the supersu to flash. TWRP wont move it over to flash off external sd card. Im not hip to abd plus i heard you leave yourself wide opento visitors when using that.
Ive eye hustled a thread on here that some friends are getting back together to rock it on a custom rom so my fingers are crossed. This tab is so neglected i mayjust go get the 210r. But i really dont want to. So my question is....
Can someone please give me links to files that work with the NB8 stock firmware. Some of the links are outdated after sprint uploaded the new bootloader. We are a small community on this tab so lets stick together on this. I dont think cynogen isgoing to do anything for it. As they concentrate on thier new phone which looks pretty sweet by the way. K im done. Going to wait for help and play with this htc one s
thats been collecting dust.

[Q] Problem with Odin / can't flash Bootloader

Hi guys,
hope you can help me with a nasty little problem ..
I got a Chinese Note 2 (GT-N7100_CHN_CHN) from my father in law - he bought a Note 4 just recently. The phone is virtually not usable in Europe, as no Google support is implemented (mail, G+, Maps) and there is no access to the regular Playstore. Also, the only Android available is 4.1.
So I tried to flash a new Firmware (and yes, I'm a noob), and that's were the problems began. I've downloaded this ROM: N7100XXUFNE1_N7100DBTFNE1_N7100XXUFND3_HOME.tar.md5 which is - as far as I could figure out - a more or less "factory" version of a German Android 4.4 ROM. For whatever reason, I was unable to flash it using Odin (I tried several drivers, cables, computers (all Win7/64), disabled virus scan .. no way to get Odin 3.09 to work. It recognizes the phone, but aborts the flash process immediately with just a "1 processes failed" error.
After reading a bit here, I tried to root the phone using Saferoot (worked perfectly), loaded MobileOdin and this ROM to the phone and did the flashing there. This works fine, the phone starts, it has a German interface, is running KitKat .. great. Only issue: The WiFi does not work. As I figured out from this forum, I need to install either a WiFi patch or a new Bootloader (I've downloaded BL_N7100XXUEMJ5_1903221_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5 - hope that's the right one).
The problem now is:
Saferoot fails to root the Android 4.4 version - so no root access
MobileOdin does not work without root (and I don't know whether it would be able to flash a bootloader)
Odin 3.09 still does not work with the device
I tried Heimdall, but it does not accept the .md5 files for Odin and I could not find any ROMs in the right format
So I'm running out of ideas what else to try. Could you give me a hint what to to do?
Many thanks,
Scooby
You are saying the phone is chinese and doesn't have support from Google so there is clearly not original phone.
Samsung has not produced that phone so it means the hardware parts are not from samsung and the ROM you are flashing can't be installed.
I read you want to root but I think it is already rooted(try with the app "root checker")
You can't do much with that phone.
Sorry

Hi Manuel,
it's definitely a original Samsung device. Google is simply (virtually) not available in China, so they install a slightly modified Android that points to a local Samsung store instead of playstore, G+ and Maps is not pre-installed ..
As written above, I was able to root it as long as the original Android 4.1.x was installed and I have successfully flashed the new german Kitkat ROM. "Only" Problem right now is that I can't get Odin to work and due to that I can not install the Wifi fix or new Bootloader. And ideas on that?
Thanks
Scooby

[Q] Today's update soft-bricked my phone

Hello. Last week I got impatient with the fact that I could not write to my sd card under the newest versions of Android (thanks, Google!), so I rooted my phone with a (supposedly) unobstrusive ROM as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143479.
And today, after installing the baseband update, my phone will no longer boot. The screen just goes dark after saying Samsung Galaxy Note II.
I tried reinstalling the root, I tried installing a custom ROM, I tried resetting to factory and clearing the cache. Nothing has worked.
I really would like to have my phone back Does anyone have any suggetions?

I only backed up some of my applications. I am not sure this will work but I will try when I get home.
If anyone else has any ideas, I would still appreciate to hear them. I need the phone for business reasons, so I need to purchase another tonight if I am not able to fix this one.
FWIW, at one point I noticed that the phone still made my speakers crackle when I put it near them, so it was transmitting *something*. The screen is blank though.

I'm in his exact same boat. Rooted about a month ago, the update soft bricked my phone. I've tried everything from flashing rom after rom to trying to recover in Kies.
No dice, when you try to recover in Kies, it won't recognize your device, it just saying Connecting until it asks you to reboot your device.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Been triyng to fix this for 18 hours so far
If you need any info to help just tell me I'll provide everything.

Your specs are EXACTLY the same as mine. I am getting the dreaded SW Rev. Invalid Magic string when I try to flash from Kies. I am currently downloading a 4.4.2 ROM from d-h.st to try to fix it; I will keep you updated.
Side rant: If you're a tiny website like d-h.st, probably not a good idea to force the user to type in their credit card by hand. Seriously, I was all ready to throw money at the screen and get this stupid thing over with, but like heck if I'm going to type my credentials into that kind of site.
Just curious guys but have you all tried flashing stock rom back to the phone using odin?

jaybeerange- this will not work because Samsung Kies tries to restore to version 4.1.2, but the boot loader disallows it because it's too old.
If you have a 4.4.2 sitting around, by all means, let us know. I've been trying to download from d-h.st, but rumor has it that it will fail.
I am literally out of options.
Yeah the one from dhst is the one im talking about. I dont know why it wouldnt work. If I remember right it doesn't contain the bootloader so that shouldnt be a problem. The bootloader just wont allow itself to revert to an older version but its a 4.4.2 rom so it should work
---------- Post added at 03:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 AM ----------
Just to be clear you know that when I say odin I mean the odin application and not kies right?
This OTA update bricked mine as well. Don't install this if your rooted!!!
I was able to take the update and im rooted and running custom recovery. Only thing I can think of that might be different is that I never took the official ota update. I flashed a stock 4.4.2 rom in recovery so im still on the 4.3 bootloader
Sweet mother of Zeus, I downloaded the 4.4.2 ROM off d-h.st, flashed it in Odin, and unbricked my phone.
Instructions for everyone else:
* Download Android 4.4.2 stock here: http://d-h.st/8HG. FYI, don't bother buying a subscription to the site to speed up the download unless you're doing it to thank the owners. Membership WON'T DO ANYTHING to help your speed. You'll just have to wait ~4 hours.
* Flash with Odin 3.0.7.
If anyone who has rights wants to post in this thread, it might be helpful.
I plan to set up a torrent tonight for anyone who wants to download it without the long wait.
Here is the magnet link: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:03336f24f4d6b9e86ca608d7766287edc7cd5d73&dn=I317-ODIN-UCUCNE5-Stock-No-Recovery.zip&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.publicbt.com%3A80
By all means download, but PLEASE seed if you do. I am allocating a lot of bandwidth but I can only upload so much!
PS. If you're worried about the reliability of the torrent, d-h.st provides an md5 sum that you can use to check the file after you've downloaded it.
Exactly what the guy said about flashing the stock rom is right. However, since my phone didn't have enough space, it didn't reset my phone. Maybe it works if you go into download mode (power, volume up and home) and then reboot it works. Have rebooted it twice since then and it still works. Everything is just how i had it before the update, but with the update.
no seeds for the torrent?

I don't know what to tell you. Three people have already downloaded it from me (unfortunately, none is seeding).

I think the technical term in torrent speak is leeches. So your torrent has zero seeders, zero peers, and 3 leeches.
ATT update
Rule #1 of OTA. No root and stock completely.
This link here shows you every file that the OTA checks for and many other things before it does anything.

If something does not match, it craps out.
I'm downloading the Zen's ODIN NE5 from dev-host now. They must have fixed issues because it's flying.
I should have it in 10-15 minutes. I have uploaded a version that I had to androidhost, but I'm waiting to hear from Zen if he's ok with me posting a mirror.
And I need to make sure that what I'm downloading and what I have uploaded in the same. But like I said looks like Dev-Host is working better, or at least better than it has been the past couple of days.

It wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't explicitly asked people to seed. Anyway, there's pne seeder: me. Interestingly, I tried to attach to it with uTorrent, and I can't connect to the host. So maybe there's something wrong with my torrent server. If you want, PM me and I will sign in to Windows and seed from there.
Had exact same issue and flashed the boot loader and now my phone works great!

Have a good one guys
Had a lot of hope for this, but I'm now getting one step further in my loop (I see the ATT logo spinning then it just hangs).
Any ideas?
