I don't have the privileges to post this on the SHOStock thread so I had to post it here and hope I get the answer I need. I browsed and searched that thread to no avail.
I installed ShoStock 2.0 via TWRP without any issues but as soon as I install the 2.2 update I get stuck at the Samsung splash screen. I've done it a few times and just can't get the update to run. I've tried fixing permissions and from a factory reset and full wipe.
I have the AT&T S4 i337. Thanks
are you wiping everything before you flash the 2.2 update? you should just dirty flash the update over 2.0. the only thing you wipe is cache & dalvik first.
if thats what you're doing, i suggest re-downloading the update and flashing over 2.0 again.
Also, are you flashing a loki'd kernel after flashing the update?
It does seem like you just got a bad download, though. Try a new download.

2.2 is just as it says, an update. It does NOT have all the same files in it. 1. Make sure to download it and check the MD5 of of the 2.0 Comolete rom and the MD5 of the 2.2 update. Once you have confirmed that then flash 2.0 in recovery, let it boit up completely. Then go back into recovery and WITHOUT wiping ANYTHING flash the 2.2 update.

Strange question... Can someone please post the apk and odex file, if there is one, for the stock Razr M Swype app? I appreciate it!!
Also if you have all the other Verizon bloat apps with their odex Files I need those please. The reason for this is the system dump that was posted last week does not work for me and I cannot update my phone with the official OTA or the official OTA leak file. Thank you so much!

I presume you want these because you're trying to update to the JB OTA and you are rooted and uninstalled somethings using TiBu. Which means now the JB OTA fails when you try to flash it. Wouldn't be easier to do the following?
SBF back to ICS
Flash the JB OTA
Re-root
Freeze the bloat (and whatever else you'd like)
This way you get a fresh install of the JB OTA. I may be wrong in my assessment of what you're trying to do here. But if I'm correct, the above steps seem like the easiest way to solve your problem.

Hmm. That's strange. Have you tried doing a factory data reset (settings->privacy->factory data reset)? Do this while running the stock ICS, before trying to flash the JB OTA.

I have tried everything... replacing all the system apps, factory resetting, and I cannot flash the OTA when my phone downloads it straight from Verizon or official OTA ROM when attempting from recovery. I am at a loss. Can anyone help me please?
I was wondering if a new method to install the last OTA was out. I didnt feel comfortable doing the methods I saw before. Like doing a backup then going stock then reinstalling root. Im hoping there is a apk file and only needing to install that and be done. I looked and couldnt find anything but that is probably my fault. Lol

Easiest way is to download the firmware from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43418277 then download the app mobile odin from the play store. Then use the app to flash the tar file and then you are on the mf9 baseband and firmware. Then flash the mf9 rom and you have the entire OTA update.

Seriously? If you are rooted. Just flash mf9 stock rooted ROM.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 4
Like windows, the best way is to do a full install and not an upgrade. Use PC Odin to flash the official full mf9 md5 tar. Reroot it. PC Odin seems to do a more thorough job than mobile Odin pro app. IMO, back up everything then do a full flash. The file is like 2.2gb. Yes that patch upgrade might work but you will have better performance and less problems if you do a full install tar.md5. I haven't messed with the full zip cwm flash, so I can't vouch for it. I have done what I explained and noticed better performance than just taking the update file. Yes it's more work but I, and a few other people, agree it's worth the extra time spent. Titanium backup can help speed things up, but doing the full job is better IMO.

Bet he was referring to this method or similar: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357471
Which IMO the steps listed by crawrj in post #2 is still the easiest/fastest way to get to stock rooted MF9. But to each his own.
Yeah, I was ready on the mf9 rom, so just downloaded the firmware tar and used mobile odin for that. Haven't noticed any performance issues or anything, although I have nothing to compare it to other than different roms.

Ok. Here is what I have done and where I am at. First off I consider myself a noob. I am rooted with odex. I used the method from qbking77. My build was mdl on both lines under about phone. No issues there at all.
So last night I downloaded the MF9 zip file. Not the ones from craw. I used oden. I had to update the one file in note pad. I then put the MF9 file in the pda field on odin and installed. It installed and said passed. Now under about phone the build says MF9 and the other is mdl. No biggie there. Now the new rom is not taking. Im getting the stupid knox message and will delete that. My wifi is not working. I did read that a guy flashes the new rom and kernel and everything was fine. I go into twrp to flash the rom but cannot find it. I am assuming it starts off with mf9 in file name. This is where I need help and that help dumbed down for me. I just want the app to sd and the camera update.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
To get WiFi to work you just need to.flash a new kernel. Go with agat or ktoonz. You need to be on MF9 based ROM to have the apps to SD and the camera update.
To update your baseband you need to flash the update modem zip. I'll try to get you a link.

The mf9 does show but it isnt what is running. It did load once last night but everything of mine was gone and I kinda freaked out and reloaded a backup.

I've had bad luck with every custom kernel. Some, after flashing, the phone heats up and won't cool down. All of them seem to make my keyboard flip out.
For using Mobile Odin pro, it finished the flash much faster than PC Odin, so I wonder if it did everything properly. With my previous phone, e4gt, it wouldn't flash modems. I don't know if it works or not with this phone. I haven't tested. Tested meaning purposely flash a md5 with a different baseband to see if it actually changed it.
Let me see if I can say this better cause I am a noob. I am running odex rooted. Basically stock. I want MF9. I installed MF9 and it shows that under about device. Now when the phone boots it is still running 4.2. 4.3 is not running. When i finally got 4.3 to run all my apps and everything was gone. I freak out and installed a backup so now im back to 4.2. Now on 4.2 and 4.3 my wifi is not working. So what I need help with is getting 4.3 to run and my wifi to work.

What the heck are you talking about? 4.2.2 is the only software available for the Sprint S4. The MF9 update does not update your android version to 4.3. It is just a service update to touch wiz to improve performance and add some features. 4.3 android is a work in progress on our phones and not 100% functioning.

Sorry, I'm doing all this copy paste on the phone.
Alright ive kinda hit a wall im not sure what i can do i can't seem to get my s4 to flash to any custom roms. just picked it up it came with the latest MF9, ive followed the instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257101 to get root access and to install twrp. i can get it all to install just fine and have verified that i have root access. but once i flash a custom rom ie. CM 10.1 or even Slim mod either through goomanager it will say it installs successfully but once it reboots the new rom splash screen shows up and just sits there forever spinning and it never goes any further.
ive even restored my device to factory and unrooted the device and im still unable to get any roms to load up. am i missing anything that someone might be able to point out
heres the steps ive tried or gone thru
1. CF-autoroot via odin
2. install Twrp or CWM either thru odin or their manager aps
3. copy rom and gapps to sd card
4. boot to recovery and try to install
5. get stuck at splash screen!!!!
You probably need to install a compatible kernel. If the Rom doesn't include one that's the problem.

Do you guys factory reset after flashing CM?
The best way to install is to flash Official CWM recovery from their website (Google Clockworkmod), download .img file and flash with SGS4 FLASHER from Play Store.
Boot to recovery
Go to mounts and storage
format system, data, cache. (make sure you've done a backup of current ROM before doing ths)
Then flash CyanogenMod ROM
Then factory reset
Then reboot
You should be fine
If you get stuck on splash screen it's cool, Just hold power down and try again. You may need to keep doing this till you see CyanogenMod boot animation. I've had to do it 4 times before it would finally boot. It's normal though just something weird with CM10.2 kernel. If you flash a custom kernel it boots fine everytime

Go to Philz thread for your phone.. In the FAQ he tells us how to get past that. It has to do with the updater script and alls you have to do is uncheck the option in recovery that says something like... Use old updater script... Something to that effect. Again read his FAQ and you'll see what I'm talking about.
I had the same thing happening with my phone just a few days ago and that fixes it.
