Run Verizon hyper drive rom on att s4

Hey guys.
I think I know how to this, but not sure. What things are required? I am using safestrap but reading ax's guide, it says I need Loki. Also do I need a converter zip,? Thanks

Your sig says you have an i9505. Your info says you are on Sprint. And...you are asking about a Verizon ROM in the AT&T forum. Wow.
Might need to clarify a few things before you can get some help.

Oh wow haha lol. Funny story here. I recently switched from sprint (about a month ago). Never bothered to change that to att I guess lol. Second, I'm running goldeneye 8.0 so I guess that's a build prop thing by Tapatalk

you need to flash the mf3 module zip after the rom and I think you may need to change apn settings

Can you share what you did to get it to work? I'm using the T-Mobile SGH-M919 S4 thanks in advance.

You just need to fish the T-Mobile compatibility module right after flashing the rom.

Flash the rom
then flash your att loki kernel, should boot just fine....no converter zip needed. Btw, what converter zip are you talking about?

[Q] root for latest android 4.3 update?

I recently received the ota 4.3 update for my at&t gs4, but I've been dying to try cyanogen mod on my phone or at least be able to remove a little bloatware. Could anyone point me to a tutorial somewhere to root this thing if it's possible yet? I do have a little experience with flashing roms and rooting with my old samsung replenish, but only with odin... thanks.
-EDIT Also is kingo really malware like many people on xda say? And does kingo work with the new MJ9 build for AT&T's S4?

If you have a little experience flashing Roms than you'll be experienced in the art of Google search. There are many threads about this already

Works the same for att even though its for verizon. Same root method but beware it could add malicious stuff to your phone and computer. Do a little researching first before you do anything. Good luck

And even when your rooted there is still no custom recovery for 4.3...so no rom flashes are possible

Thanks for the link to the tutorial. I've been looking stuff up about vroot and apparently it contains some sort of trojan... I also read a comment on YouTube where someone with the at&t MJ9 build had success with it but what are the risks other than bricking?

[Q] Safe Root?

Are there any safe roots available for the Rogers version? One that doesn't increase the boot flash count and mess up the knox thing?

As long as you don't mess with the update programs from your carrier you should be good. It is a good idea to use super user pro and do a root survival anytime you get an ota update. Going to sleep now, have fun.

I would run the MK2 or NAE tar file from the development section. It will restore your phone to factory setup. However it will install the Knox bootloader. It's likely the easiest path.

Here's the MK2 TAR 4.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2601443
And the NAE TAR 4.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663619
As long as the device has a clean ESN with Sprint the buyer shouldn't have any problem activating service. This is the case whether it's rooted or not.

I've seen it take a good few min to push through after running the file. Those tar files need patience.

You might try downloading again. Could be a bad file. Perhaps try an updated version of Odin. Don't know off hand what's noted in the thread. Check the thread for similar issues too. Sammobile has the tar files too, if you want to try another source.

It's worth a shot. Something has to be going wrong in the steps or the file. If the phone was working before.

Just boot into stock recovery and do a factory reset. Reboot and profit.

[Q] Root method 4.4.2?

Hi i was just wondering if there has been a root method for the 4.4.2 OTA update. I updated a few weeks back and have been dying for root access.
The baseband version is N900VVRUCNC4.
Thanks in advance!

Notta

Think there's any possibility we'll get it? I would hate to have to sell this device and move on

Im sure there will be in time?

Would we be able to downgrade thru Odin and then root and then flash rooted version of 4.4.2?

Doubt it...most of the devs that might be capable moved on from Verizon and really do not care. The reason being soon as a exploit is found and released it then is patched by the next update. It's a cat and mouse game not worth playing. There are methods out there that allow you have rooted 4.4.2, The sticky at the top of this section explains it all. "Never Accept OTA Updates".

No The Verizon N3 is model N900V and this article deals with the UK model N900
Also, in the UK the status of the Knox warranty counter doesn't matter. In the US it does.
