I rooted my MF3 updated galaxy s4, had a problem which I fixed with the kies triangle fix. I decided to go back to stock so I unrooted through supersu. Then I started having this issue. And now it's just stuck on custom system. I ran the mf3 update through recovery and it applied fine, yet I still have custom system. I'm planning to go to the att store to get a replacement but I can't because of this issue. Anyone have an idea?
I suggest you search for "sysscope" to get more information about the issue and then you can go to the general section and here in the Q&A section and look through the first couple of pages on both sub-forums (or use the search function) to find similar threads that have solution that might work for you. There is a lot of information that could solve your issue. Good luck.
Thanks for the reply, I over looked something :silly:

I flashed a wrong PDA file onto my cdma tab. Now my screen and backlights do not come on. I am still able to flash via Odin and also Heimdall. I have no idea as to what it is that is causing it.
-And I know this is supposed to be in the general Q/A however I needed master devs to see this.
well I had never seen or saw any troubleshooting on this weird issue. I'm sending mine in to Samsung, nevertheless info may be helpful.
mods please move

Thoughts?
I've been noticing that there doesn't seem to be much activity around the Sprint Version of the HTC One. Correct me if i'm wrong. I did manage to get the recovery changed and the device rooted.
Recovery didn't go too smoothly because i didn't realize there was a different TWrp for sprint and i assume the same goes for clockwork. I tried using both and wouldn't work until i found a very brief mention of a sprint TWRP file that ended in wls.
I really wanted to try the Revolution HD ROM but quickly noticed that it seemed like most all version of the htc one are supported except the sprint version. There is a v9.4 but i have yet to find it.
Question: Is the sprint version that different from the others? That difficult to work with? or is the interest just too low?
I was thinking i'd try to have this thread (easily searchable for sprint users) with some quick info on how to deal with those devices. Though i will admit i'm not that skilled in software mods. Just a member of the community that appreciates all the work you guys put in on all these devices and supporting the freedom we enjoy to use our devices as WE please.
If anyone want to join in and commenting about Sprint specific devices and issues.. feel free.
Sorry the sprint version tends to lag behind others because of the cmda chip. Since all international leaks are probably going to be from gsm models, they are only going to be usable on gsm versions of the phone. Until someone leaks a cdma version of 4.2.2 there's not much we can do.

This thread shouldn't be here. This should be in the General thread.

Recovery Experience
Step 1 - Unlocking Boot Loader
I used the Revolution HD thread as a start point. It is very detailed and easy to follow. It directed me to this flashing Guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618... The bootloader process is easy and pain free.
Step 2 - Flashing to a more advanced recovery
The guide doesn't suggest which to use. I went to the Device essentials (sticky thread of the forum). The choices seem to be TWRP and Clockwork ... (if there are more feel free to suggest). Unfortunately this didn't go as planned because I was unaware that the recoveries for a sprint device were different ... So for you ... if you are using TWRP you must use the recovery specifically for Sprint devices .. currently the file name is "openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7wls.img". I will try to find a link or anyone can volunteer it.
1. The first thing it allows you to do is save your current recovery. I was unable to do this because i had the wrong recovery and by the time realized it i had tried to flashboot flash. However, you can flashboot boot .. which basically allow you to load the recovery and save your current recovery. then you can flash and replace your recovery with the new one.
That is it.. that is kind of where i am at for now. I haven't flashed a ROM .. and i will say i am having some difficulty with both "superuser" it keeps asking to update but then fails and Wifi Tether .... so i'll return with answers to that when i find them.
Hope this helps someone
seemed like a development issue to me ..

That's just it, it is an issue. If you have issues with a particular custom ROM then you should post in that thread. Development thread is for development and not "issues" with a development.

Nope, this contains no development, its more of a discussion thread. I can see the confusion, so no problem.

Resolved SuperSU and Wifi Tether Issue. The issue was the binary update. HOwever i am not sure how i fixed it. i just tried using the TWRP/CWM method for a third time and it work. it rebooted into recovery, installed the binary file and booted back into the OS. SuperSU worked and then i tried Wifi Tether and it started to work as well .. FYI "settings for Wifi Tether" that i use
1. Device profile "Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)". 2. Wifi-Driver reload (checked).
Now I just need the awesomest best ROM .. any suggestions!?
Anybody with the official Samsung S4 Google edition root or install a custom recovery like TWRP on their device yet? I am getting mine next week and I have not seen any forums for this phone. I am on AT&T but I am thinking T-Mobile TWRP would work once it is rooted since it is unlocked boot loader?
Not sure if anybody got their phone in yet??
Thanks in advance.

I will ask the question in that thread..thanks for pointing it out. Reason I didn't ask in that thread in first place is because it relates to the GE leaked rom on AT&T/CAN S4. My question is related to the actual phone from google that ships from them. I am thinking everything should be same as the TMO version as far as partitions and root methods. I will ask in that thread.
Thanks
I have a rooted MF3 Galaxy S4 and my problem is that I don't have gps anymore. I have Safestrap installed and after installing any custom roms, I flash the proper module, so that everything works, like wifi, etc. Even if I go back to my stock rom, I have no gps. I've searched (XDA and Google) and haven't found any similar problems. Has anyone come across this problem and found a fix for this?

Q's go in Q&A.
This was a common problem with the S3, but I have not heard of this problem on the S4. There was a stickied thread in the AT&T S3 Q&A section with a ton of info. Not sure if any of that info applies to this device but its worth a look.

Thanks for the quick response back. I'll search around for S3 GPS problems and see if I find a solution. If I do, I'll post back.
Edit: Sorry, I missed the first part of your post and I agree, this should have went into the Q&A section. Maybe someone could move it for me please.
I fixed my gps problem after taking your advice and looking on some S3 threads. I think we will have more problems with the S4 after reading about how big of a problem it is with the S3. There were a couple of solutions, but the easiest one was that some S3 users were factory resetting their devices while on the the stock rom. After doing this, indeed my gps problem is now fixed. I didn't lose root, safestrap or anything I can't restore through Titanium Backup. I think a culprit might have been using a custom rom (Hyperdrive for Verizon) and changing the APN from Verizon to AT&T. I don't know enough about this, but I'm thinking this might have corrupted the gps on my device. Hopefully this might be some help to someone in the future should they get to a point where their gps doesn't work.
A couple days ago I noticed that my S4 wouldn't turn on WiFi. I would "flip the switch" in the WiFi settings and it would stay in the on position but grayed out, then after about ten seconds it would switch back to off. At the time my phone was rooted but wasn't not on a custom rom, but had simple things done, like xposed installed and some modules. I think the problem is that I tried using the WiFi tether TreVe mod and it didn't work while I was traveling. When I got to a place with WiFi it didn't work and that was when I noticed the problem. Since then I have tried everything from updating the baseband, flashing Cyanogen mod, to even unrooting and re-rooting the phone but all with no success to getting my WiFi to work. This is my first post to any forum so much help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Update
It's been about a week and I still haven't fixed the wifi issue. I am going to a Best Buy Samsung experience store tomorrow to see if they can flash the latest firmware for my phone or better yet just fix it in general or give me answers. If anybody has answers please help.

You can get the latest from this forum or sammobile.com (Sammobile is a little slow downloading) and flash it using Odin. There are several tutorials as well. Just search this forum and/or Google and you should easily find it.
