S4 MF3 i337 S4 Custom - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

So I have this Galaxy S4 and I just rooted it. Working great, no problems. Although I noticed this when it was booting up, it's showing this text saying "custom" with an unlocked lock but it boots up just fine. Just did a root and froze some samsung, AT&T, and google apps. Anyway to get rid of this?

Did you happen to install any kind of launcher or theme - that can cause this to show. Any kind of phone 'altering' insert by the user such as a launcher, certain xposed framework adjustments, custom APK's installed for performace.
I'd just overlook what you have put on it.

It should not affect the way the phone worka or loads in any way. I had this happen to me a few days ago and posted in one of the help threads my process to remove it. As the above post states though it has something to do with one or more specific things that are part of the rom you are flashing. There is actually a post in here called "can someone try this" or something to that effect detailing a soft fix that seems pretty easy. Do a little searching in the at&t sgs4 forums and you should come up with a few things.

This is correct - I saw that post after this one and gave it and a shot and it removed the Custom Logo on hard reboots for me. Soft boots it still shows but as stated, it doesn't affect anything.

There is quite a handful of people reporting the same thing. Most of the replies involve using ODIN to revert back stock and trying again. Some have had success in pushing a .zip through ADB and going through recovery.
Either way it seems you have to be bone stock (no LagFix and Original GPS) to get it working.
On the other hand nobody feels bad for those that get the Vibrant screen loop since the vast majority of those affected have 3rd party ROMs/Kernals and LagFixes which won't play nice with the OTA.
Better quote. I found the firmware on the site. and my friend at samsung firmware found the keys to decrypt. and paid. And we gave you all the firmware.
Just wanted to get the facts straite.

I've even heard bone stock people complaining about getting stuck at the vibrant screen. maybe they should have tested more
Why do people still trust OTA updates? It seems every OTA update has caused nothing but grief...just root and rom and screw OTAs. I trust anyone of our devs moreso than some random OTA jibberish.

[Q] <Issue><Please Help> Droid X at Bootloader Screen

I tried installing the Gingerbread update, and when I installed both Parts 1 & 2, then rebooted, my phone only goes to the bootloader screen. Tried using RDS and that, and couldn't find my phone. So I'm stuck.
My phone boots now with a red Moto logo and then goes to the error screen.
My question is, what will Verizon say when they see it? I'm going to take it there later today. I'm under insurance but hacking voids that I believe.
What should I say to get it replaced at no cost?
I was going to say that I put it down, and then when I checked it later it was off, and then when I tried to boot it, this happened, saying I didn't hack it, maybe someone else got it.
Would that work?
Speedy answers would be great.
Thank you so much.
DO NOT TAKE IT TO VERIZON.
Look at the stickies, there is a thread about fixing your phone. You need to find the stock firmware and flash it with RSD.

Did you install the Motorola drivers before attempting an SBF, just Google "Motorola drivers".
Well I have funny news for you guys.
I actually saw your messages after I got back..but thank you for your time.
But the guy...bought the story. He said I was probably recieving a bad update, and was able to fix the phone.
The guy was awesome though, after, he could tell it had ben rooted, and said, "yeah just know that root won't work on Gingerbread", which he installed for me.
So problem solved.
The extent of how lucky I was is amazing.
Well good deal. I'm glad he was cool. You can root, you just have to sbf back to froyo first

And I think i'm gonna stay away from rooting right now.
If you do ever decide you want root get the bootable linux cd with the automated scripts to sbf with. It is totally painless.

I cant get my sprint galaxy tab rooted!!!!

Anyone have a guide for my sprint tab to get rooted. I cant seem to find one except superoneclick or z4root and neither one of these worked. Also is there a good cwm? Im very experienced at rooting and flashing just cant seem to get my tab rooted.!!! Thanks!!!
update: i cant believe i couldnt find it it was right in front of my eyes im soooo sorry for this post!
In case anyone wants the link its here and i am now rooted it was super easy!

don't be sorry...
because you helped ME! i have a sprint galaxy tab and have not done anything with it since i got my gnote, so i have been searcing for how to root this thing...it did update once ota (i think--i have the whole set of tabs, and a captivate--it gets a bit confusing going from one to the other, i just tried using a non existent touch screen on my pc...) so i will try this. how did it go for you? mine is not activated thru sprint, i use it wireless only and cannot wait to get the sprint crap off of it!
You should already be on EF17 Gingerbread. Do this one instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161033&highlight=sprint
It doesn't matter if you are using 3G or not.
As I found out! I was getting frustrated until I realized that everything I found was going in a big loop to nowhere! Thanks for your input, i REALLY appreciate it, and will let you know how I do!
EDIT:
Just a quick question... Do I need to worry about these downloads to my pc as far as malware? I did download some files that came back as a threat with my anti virus - - files that were for ClockworkMod or even a whole kit to root a device (my tab--but i figured out they were for the version before the update that i have now) , but i think it is because it is software that roots android, and not because it is a real threat. I do worry about some of these download sites with the 'download' links all over the place... And only one of them is the file we need (i know how to tell the difference but still I can make a mistake - - My virus protection has indeed saved my ass a few times) any words of advice about this?
thanks again!

pirate andy splash screen

Hello, S5 folks! I've been using the S5 for a while, now, and really like it. I came through the Exhibit 4G and the Galaxy Light, so needless to say this phone is quite powerful. One thing I did like, though, about the other phones was that one of the devs put together a custom splash screen of a skull and crossbones andy. It was black with a faded green design and it looked really, really cool. Much better than t-mobile advertising themselves. Is there anything like that already done for the S5? A quick search for s 5 splash screens didn't yield much. Thank you very much.

Being proud to be a noob means your proud to be ignorant and lazy. Congrats m8

My understanding of noob means only that I am new to the rooting community. Ignorant, maybe, but only because of lack of experience. The term says nothing about intelligence or laziness, to me. But, thank you for the kind welcome to the S5 group.

I was planning to, but thanks. Actually, i made a Noob/lazy mistake and messed with my kernel without making a nandroid. Now, even though i did a data reset, i get an error saying the kernel is bad. I'm thinking i can just flash a new kernel to the reset phone. Will that work?
Sent from my LG-V496 using XDA Free mobile app
You *could* try, it probably won't hurt.....
But make sure you get a kernel that is compatible with the version of Android on your phone (one of the easiest mistakes to make)......
If it doesn't work, you may end up having to go back to stock (via Odin) or flashing a full ROM via recovery (if it's accessible)........
Sent from my rooted, debloated stocKK kn0x0 SM-G900F
And with regards to your initial question, look in themes and apps for custom flashable splash screens, and see if there's a way to replace the included image with your skull and crossbones Andy. ........
It'll involve (at the very least) unpacking the Zip, replacing the included image with the (correctly re-sized) image you want and re - packing then flashing.......
Sent from my rooted, debloated stocKK kn0x0 SM-G900F
Going back to stock is a fine option, at this point. I feel kind of like a baby with a loaded gun, playing with a rooted phone. Maybe, once i get another phone to be my dd, i can root and play with the s5. Until then, though, i might just leave it stock. Did not know Odin could take it back to stock. I'll read up on that. Thank you and I'll play with the splash screen advice once i root, again.

Just being rooted isn't dangerous, SuperSU will popup with a prompt for anything requesting root access, which you have to approve before it can do anything
If you use a PC, you are already using a rooted device, you have root access to the system files from first boot, unless you do something stupid, it causes no problems right?
For me root is a must, blocking ads
Not only that, but even if you mess it up, ODIN can recover the phone back to the way it was when you bought it
Being rooted isn't dangerous in your hands. My s5 was rooted for two days before i screwed it up by not making a nandroid before messing with it. Rookie mistake. If this is my play phone, fine. It's my work phone, though. I need it working.
It's alive. Kies got me sorted. Took over an hour, but that's a small price to pay. It's on 5.1.1, too. And the rooting method is stored on the sd card.
Sent from my LG-V496 using XDA Free mobile app
Well yea, messing with it is the dangerous part, not being rooted
But the same applies to Windows, it's gonna run fine unless you mess with system files, do something stupid
If you don't know what you're doing with root, don't mess with it, just install apps you know you can trust that require root, like adaway, greenify etc
True.....that's what I've done to my S5......
Rooted it, frozen OTA,s Installed root access apps (Adaway, Viper4Android, root explorer and Titanium Backup) got rid of some bloatware and flashed some xposed modules......
Quite happy with that......don't need anything else.
Sent from my rooted, debloated stocKK kn0x0 SM-G900F
For Root apps, I've got Adaway, Greenify, ES File Explorer with root enabled, TWRP Manager to enable write access to SDCard so I can write to it via FTP server / FileZilla client, WiFi Kill to have fun at others expense, ROM Toolbox Pro, SDMaid, Busybox
And the only system file manual editing Ive done, is build.prop to fix it not saving WiFi passwords after a reboot

samsung good lock UI on note 4 " i love it"

Good Lock UI
a few days ago i ran across an app called " samsung good lock ui" it was originally only available for note 5 , s6, s7, and the edge variants. but the article i was reading was from a user who side loaded it on his note 4 and was successfully using it on his Note 4. Since then it has been made available for the Note 4 on Samsungs Galaxy App Store, although I believe its still not officially supported for our devices,
Now I have been using it for at least a week so far. and it is a little buggy still, but they are updating very frequently to address the bugs. there are a few things that can cause it to lock a user out of the phone of which I will explain haw to deal with these issuess the best I can.
I've helped a few users with their issues already and really went through the app and its settings. I installed and uninstalled many times and did everything I could to recreate users problems so I could try to figure out ways to deal with those problems. along the way Imalmost positive that Ive found the few problems still there and the way around them.
I WILL STRESS THAT THIS APP HAS THE POTENTIAL TO REALLY CAUSE SOME PROBLEMS. In my opinion they should state that it is still in BETA form.... BUT , you install at your own Risk!!!
THE MUST AND MUST NOTS.
1. fingerprint and password lockscreen security options cause an inability to unlock the phone once restarted...
( to assure you dont have problems , REMEMBER!!! Before installing MAKE SURE that you are not using the fingerprint or Password lockscreen security options, Pin and Pattern seem to be ok, but I would just switch to swipe lockscreen before installing or uninstalling...)
2. When uninstalling the app you MUST ABSOLUTELY UNINSTALL FROM INSIDE THE APP... Good lock settings > Uninstall.....The App has caused serious problems for others if not uninstalled properly....(I have installed and uninstalled lots of times with no issues, which leads me to believe the issues are user created.)
3. If You want all the settings, color scheme, and changes to stick after a restart, Then make your desired changes to the default routine, instead of creating a New Routine..... I believe this Bug is a conmon one that will likely be fixed in the next couple updates.
(if you dont use default, then when you restart the color scheme reverts to default )
LOCKSCREEN LOCKED OUT FIX..........
Fix for if you forget to change to Swipe lockscreen before you install the app and get locked out our your phone...
if you try to use fingerprint.or password or forget to change it to swipe before installation. It will not have a way to unlock it normally, (there wont be a keyboard or the fingerprint text prompts: Just your wallpaper and access to the notifications).... if this happens you should still be able to pull down notifications on the lockscreen that does appear.
Pull down notifications, then pull down a second time to bring down quick settings. At the top Right you will see some icons, from left to right you should see Battery and Pecentage, the Search, then App Settings, then the regular settings icon. The App settings icon next to the regular settings icon is what you need to tap if you cant unlock the device. If you are locked out and you push this icon it will recognize the GoodLock UI is causing an error and will disable good lock UII and ask you to restart the device. When it reboots, you should be back to TouchWiz and able to unlock like normal,...
There is lots more to discuss and im sure lots of help needed so im glad to help if i can......
Please see the Overdrive thread. I'm still 15 hours in pain trying to remove this malware. Caveat emptor. I don't know how responsible it is to invite this disaster. If you are locked hard out like me, there is no way to get to the notify pull down and you are Tango Uniform. I cannot install any ROM now without horrific problems.
Please read.
1) If you are anyone who uses the well respected/tested Smart Unlock, even when deactivated and uninstalled then AVOID
2) Installation changes/corrupts SystemUI (check before and after) even when you are able to not be completely locked out and you are able to think you have uninstalled properly.
3) Installation/deinstallation changes firmware beyond anything a full and complete wipe can address. Full wipe three times, including system and data - it is still there.
4) if you don't mind losing all the user interface enhancements from custom ROMs to go back to a stock Samsung TouchWiz look, go for it. Don't understand why one would do that. Effectively Good Lock is TouchWiz plus with a lock-in change to SystemUIand other parts of firmware. Thank you Samsung.
Bottom line: many have suffered. Not just the ratings of a long time xda'er like me. Please search around. I'm glad hey likes it. It has wasted a dozen hours trying to dislodge it. Starting from scratch, scratch. Back to ODIN seems the only way to stamp out Bad Lock.

I am the one who started it in the ovrdrive thread as well, that's why i stated all the warnings...
with that said I've looked around. the only place I've seen any problems like what you describe
is in that thread..Nowhere else can i find much of anyone having problems.
i absolutely think that whatever problems you and very few others are having are user error. as long as you don't use fingerprint or password it works infallibly. i mean no disrespect and i apologize if what i say is disagreeable to you, but i have used this app and 4 other friend's that have the note 4 have used the app for at least a week or so with absolutely no problems.....i will reiterate....ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS.... uninstalling reinstalling, flashing and reflashing over and over again...in fact i can even do what i warn others of and use fingerprint or password. i can let it get locked up and undo it every time... no matter what i do i cant recreate the problems you say you have .and i have tried on 5 different note 4s. i am not saying you are not having the problems, i just think either there is something different or wrong with a few devices or the problems are induced by the user somehow, or there's a mod or an app on those few devices conflicting with good lock....
AGAIN I DO WARN ANYONE USING THIS ....THEY DO SO AT THEIR OWN RISK...
but I'm positive that most users will have a pleasant experience and i think a few people having problems with the app is far from proving problems with the app.
SAMSUNG GOOD LOCK is a complex app that modifies the system ui and as such i think its not as user friendly as a normal plug and play app.
that being said i am not promoting the app ...i just like it and think others will too...
if anyone does want to try it. and wants to b sure of no problems let me know , I can help you set it up properly
and anyone trying to uninstall it or having problems with it let me know and I'm sure i can salvage your setup with out 15 hrs of struggle( that's just beyond me) , but I'm sure i can get you into a device that's been locked up by good lock
and please if you know of someplace where i can find the issues you speak of or others experiencing problems of any kind outside of the overdrive thread here, point me in that direction ., PLEASE. i have searched everywhere looking for users with bad experiences and cannot find any. I've exhausted all the keywords i can think of to search for issues with the app.
THIS APPLICATION IS ATTACHED N BETA AS STATED ON GALAXY APP STORE

INFALLIBILITY? I used a pin and removed it before installing good lock, and it rebooted and denied access. So much for your infallibility. It is a FALSE claim.
I really don't understand why you denegrate users. YMMV would be a good contention. Saying there are no issues uninstalled correctly but saying its a BETA so all bets are off is talking out of both sides. Giving a surgeon general like warning then saying it really has no problems is the other two sides.
For everyone who loves locked down TouchWiz next gen, great. It's a big world with different preferences. I celebrate that. I'm sure many people that want to avoid custom ROM user interface benefits may be jazzed by a new Samsung software product. Fine. Like you, many may love it. Hooray. Some may have no uninstall issues. Cool man, more power to you. Saying there are negligible users with negligible issues (see google) is only rude.
WHEN INFALLIBILITY FAILS, CALL IT BETA.

Thank you. Same logic. The software is great, the user is the problem. Yay new Samsung.
There has been NO help. No fix. No way out of a hard loop other than start from scratch. Just pretend there isn't a systemui change. Pretend firmware hasn't changed. Pretend there isn't a persistent change to the device that even a wipe won't fix. If you cant pretend it's beta.
But you are very helpful. Thank you.

But it's a start. Come on man, you don't seem like a first time user. Starting from scratch is what you sometimes have to do. Yeah it sucks but it still gets you going.
You should know the risks, they are posted all over xda.
Just talk to neo and let him help you. He offered help if you read it. Have a drink/smoke/girl/jerk/etc relax and go at it again till you resolve your issue, with neo guide you as fellow man/user.
im not normally a big fan of touchwiz at all, but as of late the features chat its always had up on other overlays have actially been usable with a custom TW rom that is as smooth as it should have been from the OEM.
the aesthetics is what its always lacked in my opinion, this good lock, will "Eventually" be a good looking option to change it to or at least in my opinion. i stated it had problems right from the beginning....
Everyone should read on their own and decide wether or not an app has developed to a point of their satisfaction so they are willing to risk installing it.
i just saw it and thought some others might be interested and stated my experience with the app that's all i can do. i don't want anyone making the mistake in thinking I'm promoting or even trying to spread the word at all about this app. i just dig it and wanted to share that .
beyond that i noticed some problems and have been able to fix most of em or get around them anyway. maybe i cam help someone else with these problems, because i know even without me the app would have been installed by note 4 users and my experiences might help some one. if not , i tried..
its still running perfectly on my device. for a beta that's not supported on our phones anyway.
its worlds better than stock that's all that matters to me. i cant stand the TW blue and yelwew notifications colors, and i really don't like that its so hard to change colors or backgrounds, icons, text, and every thing else, without hacking in the theme store or really going into theming yourself. something like this implemented right could be a good solution. and i guess a built in app to modify the theme and system ui would be a good next step from the theme store
In description it says beta.
Quickly tried it to see what all the fuss is about and if it would turn my world upside down. It didn't. Uninstalled from within.
I like them shortcuts on the bottom. I think jelly bean JB was the one that had . I liked it, used it and missed it. Instead of 4-5(forget) we now have downgrade of two, phone and camera:angel:
The rest isn't my cup of tea. It's not bad by any means. I've seen and used similar quick settings / notification pull-down in either aosp or cm like two years ago, or so.
With time I've seen dislikes/comments of TW and I've tried cm, aosp, and also top launchers, go/nova/apex/etc. I liked sense in HTC and do like TW in Samsung. Personal preference.
I think it's a great option and some would enjoy it. Hope it develops and becomes stable. Not that I've encountered any problems in 5 minutes of testing install/uninstall.

But it's a start. Come on man, you don't seem like a first time user. Starting from scratch is what you sometimes have to do. Yeah it sucks but it still gets you going.
You should know the risks, they are posted all over xda.
Just talk to neo and let him help you. He offered help if you read it. Have a drink/smoke/girl/jerk/etc relax and go at it again till you resolve your issue, with neo guide you as fellow man/user.

Grumble. Good point. Ok. Just don't like the jerk reference (even if I can be one [emoji15] ), and don't like being called a dope for not being able to clean uninstall when clearly Samsung messes up the device.
Hatchet buried. To each his own. I take/took responsibility for installing and shooting myself in the foot.

I didn't call you a jerk
Read the whole combination of/ / those words, stress relievers.
Not to be explicit, I meant do what ever that calms you down and relieves your stress, so you can resume/continue at fixing your device with a clear head.

Knew that, just emoticon unschooled and how to address in polite company. (My jerk point was self depreciation on the noun vs verb.

I have to watch myself to "abide by rules" of different forums. But even in life, profanity, calling someone female dog or genitalia, and alike is last resort for me. If at all.
Since I can get under someone's skin without it. But generally we all are humans. And I lean towards to respect, foolish the person is or not.
since I'm not perfect myself as all
Watch any available stand-up of Bill Burr on YouTube. Brutal to some, reality for others.
Anyway. Hope you got your device going.
Btw trying to offend or degrade someone, first of all, shows to others what's in your head/mind. Thus actually makes you vulnerable.
All cool.
I have installed good lock once on my Note 4, SM-910G India.
After i installed the fone gets restart and when inprove unlock password(since its showing fingerprint stopped working) it freezes for 1 minute and restarted back to normal and uninstalled automatically.
I think it was due to compatibility issues with note 4. But the look was awesome like stock with good colours.
Any chances Samsung might release officially for Note 4? ?

I will never try it, even if I was given Note 4s to trash, but it appears like there is a new fav 24.0.9 out for S5 plus ROMs.

I liked the concept, but no sync quick tile
Is the UI more stable now?? I'll be getting my note 4 today and I want to know if all the bugs been fixed and it won't be buggy or anything like that ??
