I bought my s4 two weeks ago. I have the black 32bg version and I was able to use the Loki patch. I'm currently running SHOstock v 1.5 ROM. Hope this helps.

Errr.. I wouldn't pay £499 for a N7100....
I have N7105ZHALJ4 where is my multiscreen?
Does the Build Number say anything about where the phone came from?
I bought mine from Mobicity.co.nz who ship from Hong Kong so assume the phone was also built/set for there.
Does this mean I have to wait for Samsung to bring the update for the N7105 to HK or as I am now using it in New Zealand, on a NZ Vodafone network do I need to wait for some sort of NZ update
Think I've attached an image of all settings if this can assist in answering my questions.
Thanks heaps, and hey Bloody good phone purchase from you all.

You have the Hong Kong version. The build shown is what i had before the update. Just run the update in the phone settings menu and the ota update should show. If it doesn't just connect your phone to kies on your computer and the update can be done there. You don't need to wait for Nz update as your phones firmware is not for that region.

3 mobile 4.1.2 Update

Hi,
As anyone updated their Note 2 yet to 4.1.2? I got mine from 3 direct, as far as I could tell it was unbranded, so as I am impatient I decided to download the H3 4.1.2 FW from samfirmware.com this morning and I have flashed it. Now when the phone boots I have the nasty 3 logo on there I can only imagine that I was running BTU version before, stupidly I didn't check.
Can anyone confirm the version they are running on 4.1.1 for me please, or if anyone has received the OTA update for 3 now have the 3 logo on boot?
Thanks
I got the ota update on 3 to 4.1.2 about 3 days ago. I was slightly worried as it stayed on the 3 logo for about 5 mins then it booted

Oh can you confirm what your baseband and build number is please, also do you have the 3 logo on boot?
So after flashing back to the 4.1.1 BTU update and can do OTA updates again, problem is I had to wipe all data as I got stuck at the Samsung logo
I will just have to wait for the OTA update like everyone else :silly:
yeah my brother recieved it.. a update of 258 mb

Is he running the unbranded version do you know or 3 branded?
Is your phone sim locked to 3? If not, i would assume your phone was an early batch of unlocked phones during launch, when 3 didn't brand their Note 2's yet.
If you went and got one now, they should be plagued with their own ROM with csc H3G.
If your phone is unlocked, you should have been running BTU with no bloat and no 3 boot splash.

Right that makes sense then, I've had mine since November, I was surprised it had no 3 network firmware, not sure if it's unlocked though it haven't tried.

I know for sure that the first handsets 3 were sending out were unlocked with Samsung branding, how long this carried on I cannot be sure but I originally got one.
Just wait till the UK btu version comes out and flash that over the top minus the modem and you will have the best of both, 3 network tweaked radio without the crappy logo on boot.

Bootloader unlocking

So I'm new to this forum, and I've done some reading and I'm a bit confused. I'm seeing some roms available making me believe that the bootloader has been unlocked and a method is out there on how to root and install a custom recovery. Can anyone help clear this up for me? Thanks!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
the canadian variants are reported to come with unlocked bootloaders. the att i337 bootloader unlock hack will likely be released after the verizon sgs4 is released.

This forum is combined with other variants of the GS4. If you're using the AT&T Galaxy S4, your bootloader is locked and is going to be until Dan releases the hack.

[Q] Why is there a CM rom for ATT?

i thought we were still waiting for the verizon model to come out before the unlocked bootloader method to be released. how are we able to have CM for ATT? is it this Loki stuff that is making that possible?
Some people bought their phones off contract and have unlocked bootloaders. Also by using a company for a fee can get you an unlock code.

Sorry for the noob question, but I got my AT&T S4 from Best Buy with my 2 year upgrade contract for $200, and my friend bought his from Best Buy AT&T S4 off the contract except a lot more expensive at $749.99. Is there a difference as I thought they were both i337 models... and all were locked bootloaders...
Not to mention if you use the OUDHS recovery, it's set up to Auto-Loki any ROM which is why it would make a TW-based CM work just fine. That being said, you're going to be dealing with nightlies, so if you're not ready to have a few issues here and there, it's not worth it to you to install it until an official release comes along.

Buying through the major carriers means a subsidized cost. If you're buying off-contract, it means you're the one paying for that subsidization and not the carrier, hence the larger cost. This is exactly why people flock to CL when buying phones off-contract because it's significantly cheaper, It doesn't change anything about the phone's internal hardware, An I337 bought at BB off-contract is still the same physical model as one bought on-contract through an AT&T Store.

I think you're a bit confused. What you're talking about is for a SIM unlock. Completely unrelated to the bootloader unlock we're mentioning here. As of right now, there is no bootloader unlock available for the AT&T/VZW GS4s
oh i thought it came out on the 30th.. so i guess i gotta search around for the unlock method? not sure i understand this "Loki" stuff

Loki is not really an unlock, it's more of a way to circumvent the bootloader since as of right now there's no way to unlock the AT&T variant GS4s. Look at this thread first to download what you'll need for root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252248
After that, you can visit this thread here and find what you'll need to use a recovery. Here's one that will Auto-Loki your ROMs for you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291956
Or you can run TWRP/CWM and flash this kernel after installing whatever ROM you choose for Loki:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292341
With these tools installed, you can now run any ROM of your choice, but try to stick to those more closely based to the stock ROM as you can to keep all of your features working.
Hope that helps.

Just keep your eyes on a thread for the GW fix. Should be in the Android Development (not Original) thread. I've skimmed past it several times in the past couple days. And, yes, OUDHS will auto-Loki. TWRP as of right now will not.

Not an unlocked bootloader. Bootloader will be locked if u get the s4 from att. U can install twrp using goo manager then flash a loki'd rom/kernel if you wish. Make sure they are loki'd.

[Q] Bootloader

This must have been asked before in other threads, but just to get up to speed here ...
Do we know if the bootloader on the SPH-L720 can be flashed?
I know AT&T and Verizon haven't been cracked yet, but I'm hoping the Sprint model has.
Any details? Thanks!
-- Andy
The boot loader is cracked by default. No worries. With sprint you can crack flash until device blows up.
No

None of the bootloaders are cracked. We received a leak and sprint hasn't messed with us since. There is a big difference between cracked and leaked.

The Sprint GS4 has an unlocked bootloader. No leaks required. The fact that you can Odin a custom recovery and flash a rom right out of the box without even rooting should tell you everything you need to know.

So I can go ahead and get the L720 and do all the rooting and custom bootloading,
without having to worry if it's possible, like those Verizon folks?
This is awesome! I hope Josh is working on an S4 JellyBomb.
