Stock att kernal, updating camera firmware

I've been searching for the stock kernal for at&t users for s bit now, can't find it I'm trying to fix the annoying "updating camera firmware,please wait..." message. Unless there's a better way, I'll just assume you have to flash the sock kernal to update it. But if you flash the sock Kernal, wouldn't the phone fail on boot?

No, I'm running Wanamlite v1.0.
I just reinstalled the stock AT&T rom to allow the camera to update, but when I ran the camera, no update appeared. So I figured it was all set. After re-rooting, I re-installed Wanamlite and KT kernal, open up the camera, and sure enough the message re-appears. I didn't perform any wipes. But it looks like I'll have to because all the AT&T bloatware was re-installed again.

Your mistake was reinstalling Wanamlite again. Here's how you install non AT&T ROMs
1. Root your phone. I used the one click TWRP and Loki method.
2. Factory Reset and install custom ROM.
3. Install AT&T kernel. Let it boot up. Open Camera.
4. Reboot to recovery. Install custom kernel. Wipe cache and Dalvik. Fix Permissions.
5. Reboot. All done.

Thanks, you're right about my mistake lol I ended up just installing someone else's ROM and it works perfectly. I'm a bit lost reading your instructions, It was my understanding that custom ROM's would not load with stock kernel?

Exactly, its nice he can recommend installing a stock kernel, but they are not to be found. I asked in another thread and didn't get an answer. I somehow got it to work just wiping and installing Omega 5.0 Then to get wifi to work I installed ktoonez kernel.

okay, assuming you're using the AT&T variant, I did this:
I got the looping "installing camera firmware" and tried faux an ktoonsez with no luck
I flashed this tmobile stock kernel and the camera firmware updated successfully by going into the camera app.
I then just flashed faux kernel back and everything worked great.

I use shabbypenguin's auto loki CWM recovery, but you'll have to definitely flash the loki patch after the tmo kernel to make this work.

[Q] Wont REboot after installing ROM

When I install any custom ROM, my phone will boot normally and I will then be able to go through the setup. However, when I shutdown the phone, it will not reboot and I will be stuck on the Samsung logo. Then I have to reinstall the ROM.
Please Help and Thank you.

Did you flash the kernel for your device afterr flashing the rom?

You're welcome. Glad you're up and running

Also, after flashing a custom ROM and getting stuck in the bootlogo, sometimes you need to flash the loki-fix (search for it) to fix this. Then the ROM works.
If ever in an inescapable bootloop and there's no custom recovery, then you'll need to download your stock firmware and stock kernel and use Odin to flash the firmware first (in download mode), then the kernel second (also in download mode, after a reboot), and then once you're up and running you can use Motochopper to root the phone and then another tool to flash recovery (e.g. Canadiani337m_3way_tool).

Hey again! After I reflashed the Kernel Fix for my model. It seemed to be good, however it started doing it again! and it happens with every rom. Im sure I have the right kernel fix...

I have a similar issue, with any custom rom I can't load into the phone the first time, set up my phone etc. But if I reboot I'm stuck at the samsung logo. I've tried this most recently with cyangenmod 10.2, ikop, and kangabean and had the same issue. This is my first android phone and my first time trying this so I wasn't sure if I was doing everything correctly. When I followed the instructions for CM, it didn't say that I needed to reflash the kernal. Is there a specific kernal or can I use the stock? Also should I flash the kernal after I've installed rom and gapps?
I suppose if that doesn't work that I'll try the loki-fix.

[Q] Need help, rooted S4, wifi not working anymore

So I rooted my sprint s4, following these instructions:
http://qbking77.com/development/how-to-root-the-sprint-and-international-exynos-samsung-galaxy-s4/
Which worked great. Then, I followed these instructions for the hotspot modification:
http://qbking77.com/development/how-to-get-free-native-wifi-hotspot-on-the-sprint-samsung-galaxy-s4/
I was running the MF9 firmware, so I used that. I made a backup of the two files before copying the new ones over. I reset it, and it stopped on the sprint screen, so I followed the unrooting instructions here:
http://qbking77.com/development/how-to-unroot-and-unbrick-the-samsung-galaxy-s4/
Now, my wifi isn't turning on. It flashes for a second, then disappears, showing a "The device has detected an application attempting unpermitted actions and has stopped loading. To protect your device, it is recommended you reboot." alert.
The backups I made weren't there, so I assume it rebuilds those files. What do I do? I've tried factory resetting, but nothing has helped so far. I've read a few forum postings but they seem to all revolve around issues with new roms. I only used the stock one, so I'm not sure exactly what to do.
So, can anyone help me out? I'm not too far into these things, so easier instructions are better.

That alert is because you have Knox installed and rooted. You need a root browser and go into the system/app folder and delete the two files that begin with the name Knox.

So to do that, I'd use the odin program? And where do I get the different kernel?

To be honest you shouldn't be flashing if you don't fully read and learn before getting a rooted phone. Kernels are in the original development thread.
And you flash the kernel zips in a custom recovery.

I had no intention of flashing a new rom, only wanting to root it to remove some useless stock software, and move some other stuff to the SD card.
I'm guessing I want the first file here, right? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258107

I can't find any instructions on how to install that kernel, since it's a zip instead of a tar so I can't use odin. Everyone just says "use recovery," which doesn't help me at all, since I don't know what that is or how to do it. I've tried a few other kernels I've found on xda, but none have fixed it.

Flash custom recovery tar thru odin, theres a couple threads in development section with different recoveries...then simple flash kt kernel zip thru your new recovery ( you can access your new recovery by booting up the phone and holding down the volume down button)...I suggest you learn how to back up and restore your rom b4 trying this

Hmm weird, well here update to the newer update to this for here. Will be a pain in the ass but believe me this will solve all your problems.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2375523
Flash that in Odin and make sure you just get the huge file that's the only one you need. Extract what is inside and you will get a .tar.md5 file. Next do a factory reset of your phone. Boot into download mode. Flash that file. If you get any errors just delete the .md5 extension and reboot your computer and try again. Once done, it should boot will take awhile no more than 10 mins. If it doesn't boot take off battery and boot into recovery. You should stock recovery with the little green dead android. Its OK don't freak out just do a factory reset and reboot. Once that is done.
Download either odex or deoxeded tar file which ever you want here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357471
Once that is done you can flash that through Odin and you should be rooted and updated to the latest version.
You can also download twrp recovery here
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/jfltespr
All versions there. You can download stabled twrp 2.5.0.2 or download the newer one 2.6 0.3 as people have said it has been working for them and there you go. Its a lot but it gets the job done and all your problems go away.

No, I mean wifi at all. Also, I just noticed when I insert a microsd, it says it's safe to remove immediately. Loading from the SD card on recovery works though.
And I doubt sprint will help me, I've had the phone for a while and they wouldn't do anything for issues with my last phone, since it was the 15th day I had it. If I send it to samsung with the stock recovery, kernel and rom, will they be able to tell?

Wifi not working

Today I was messing with my phone and decide to download 4.3. I had forgotten that I rooted my phone a few days back so I ended up doing the OTA update without taking root off. Now my WiFi isn't working, I restarted my phone and that did fix it. I like to know if there is a fix for this?

Off to a good start then. Install safestrap 3.72 if you haven't already.
Here's a quick rough guide on how to get a custom rom working (switch PurifieD with whatever you'd like to use, note you are limited to TouchWiz. A list of 'confirmed' working roms can be found here, but note if they mess with the kernel there may be Knox 0x1)
Install and boot into Safestrap 3.72, flash PurifieD (wipe not necessary)
If you wish to keep Knox happy with 0x0, do not let PurifieD modify the kernel during the Aroma installer when it asks
Flash an i337 build.prop in order to get 4G LTE working again (you have service without this, but this lets you access LTE again) (you can find this here!)
Flash the WiFi module in order to get wifi working again (WiFi will NOT work unless you flash this) (you can find this here!)
(Optional, I had to do this as I had issues with keeping root on PurifieD, though you might not!) Flash SuperSU again (you can find this here!

Yup, that's the problem I was having. You have to downgrade to MK2 again, root using whatever you prefer, and start over but this time after flashing the ROM, immediately flash SuperSU (i linked it in my other post).
