[Q] How can i change the boot logo? (not the boot animation) - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hi! I'm using an AOSP rom in my I337m. I want to use the Kit Kat 4.4.2 picture whrn my phone starts instead of the Samsung Galaxy S4 that is the default. Any Help?

Sorry I can't be of help here but be VERY CAREFUL with it. I tried to change that splash screen on my less than week old S4 back when it first came out. I hard bricked it and had to send it for JTAG at MobileTechVideos. I really liked making them on my ATT S3 and thought I had it figured out when I first got my S4. Flashed it and was bricked.
It wasn't a FULL hard brick as I was able to get into download mode but not recovery. BUT even though I was able to get into download mode and flash the stock .md5 files back then it would NOT do anything other than the blue led light up and the phone vibrate constantly. It would never get past that point.
So point is I haven't tried it a second time.

True, but 1337m's (Canadian s4) are not bootloader locked like their American counterparts

locked/unlocked bootloaders has nothing to do with being able to modify the bootloader itself.
I have a 337m. I am canadian. I am a developer. I am a retired moderator.

if it were really that easy they would have modified the 337m bootloader to work on the 337 long time ago,.

I337 Pure Google Edition?

I have a ATT I337 and a dream, to install a rom that turns my phone into a Pure Google Edition S4 that thinks its true Pure Google Edition S4 (OTA updates straight from the big G and all)
Is this possible? I have been waiting on this dream and holding off installing other ROMs but just realized it could be a pipe dream.
What do you guys think?
Thanks

That Rom is ripped right from the Google edition. Has someone who has been using nexus devices for the past two years, I can assure you, it's pretty much stock. About the only thing we might miss out on is ota updates working properly. Might be a few days behind for the devs to adapt them. I don't see it as an issue as Google seems to be slowing down it's updates schedule

Ok .. if I'm reading this right .. I know exactly what cwhittl is asking for in which people are not understanding .. and he is looking for the same thing as I am.
We're NOT looking for a ripped ROM that we have to have a custom recovery on in order to get on our phones. All other Google Edition phones going back to the original Nexus phones and images that are applied to the phone using ADB commands, thus not needing to be rooted, custom recoveries etc.
Now that its been announced that Google will not be holding/creating the images for the HTC One or SGS4 GE .. it will be up to the OEM to create these images .. Samsung has already posted the source code for this phone on there Samsung Open Source website .. but where can we get the build (not rip) image that is currently on the SGS4 GE (img, tar, tgz, md5 etc etc) .. that can be installed either by ADB or ODIN.
All the different versions that are up here either in the AT&T SGS4 thread or the original GT-i9505 thread are working off a ripped version and all have issues (yes, I have been reading most of them) . and I'm sure the actual SGS4 GE does not have all these issues that people are reporting from the rips.
Hence .. the reason for requesting a ORIGINAL build, not rip.

So what your saying is that you want the phone to be partitioned exactly as the Google version ? Well sir we have a locked boot loader I337 to turn a device into an entirely different model and be stock is impossible ... you should just buy the model you need .. and the definition of rip here means they took the original build and provided it in a flashable package ..
Even if we had the tar file for the Google edition and pit files we can't flash it because of locked bootlader not to mention it will also erase imei because it would flash a different baseband... and the repartition erases baseband too ...

I don't believe we well ever have that. The nexus line uses fastboot to flash the images when the bootloader is unlocked.
The Google edition is not fully open sourced nor will it, Samsung holds key components for some of the drivers as closed source, hence why Samsung will be releasing the updates, Google is just mirroring them and working with them to make the os stock. If you want the true open source experience, get a nexus. The Google edition Rom is the closet thing we will ever get to it on this model of phone.
Has someone who had been using nexus devices for the past few years, I'll give up that little bit of control to get stock on a powerful hardware like the s4. Google edition will hold me over until fall of 2014 when I'll upgrade to that nexus device.
Yes, I miss fastboot, Odin is such a pain in comparison
Edit, I just wanted to add that as of this moment, I'm not experiencing any issues at all. Everything works as intended

I have an Canadian SGH-I337m Galaxy S4. I have installed the TWRP recovery and Google Edition 4.3 rom on it. Today I have received an OTA software update notification for a small 16 Mb update. However, when I tried to install it, phone rebooted in TWRP recovery menu and nothing was installed.
I got very excited about it but i guess it is not possible to install these OTA?

KT kernel 6/23 has a few bugs on a couple roms, not naming them either, roll back to the 6/10 version, should fix the problem. been there done that.
Oh yeah, do forget to wipe dalvik, and cache before you flash, but I should have to tell you right? You know that.
Good luck.

Chainfire 3D on SGH-I337 problem

I rooted my galaxy s4, OTA MF3 updated, I accidently installed Chainfire 3d and tapped 'install CF3D driver', and instantly the device reboots and stuck at at&t logo. i tried latest stock firmware to flash with Odin 3.07, but it says
<NAND write start>
<FAIL(Auth)>
.
also did factory reset but it stuck at the at&t logo every time.
what should i do!!
I sent my device to MobileTechVideos for JTAG brick repair and ROM/root upgrade.
do you think they can fix it with JTAG?
Please tell me this isn't the same guy from a few days ago with a different username.
If not. You did not accidentally install it! You have to click install and accept in the play store then install the drivers through the app. You intentionally installed it but you were too busy NOT reading anything that says that it is only compatible on specific hardware. Now you are screwed and have no way to fix it.

You are on MF3. Thee is no custom recovery on MF3. There is no ODIN flashable MF3 ROMs, there is no MF3 on Kies.
If you would read the stickies and most MF3 related threads, you would know that there is no way to come back from messing up on MF3.

I installed Clockworkmod recovery and did the factory reset. isn't Clockworkmod recovery a custom recovery? so that means, i have to collect 400 dollars and switch the mainboard at at&t or should i wait until odin flashable MF3 comes out? i just bought galaxy s4 a week ago.
anyway i'll find my way to solve this even if that means i have to switch mainboard. thanks for replying.
If you are truly on MF3,you would not be able to install CWM.
It means that you have a $650 paperweight for the time being until you
A: Get it replaced
B: Get a new motherboard
C: learn ADB and can fix it with that
D: Try a J-Tag repair
E: Wait until the bootloader gets unlocked. If it is even possible.

A: Yep
B: Would be better off getting another phone. I'm not sure if the NV memory is located on the Motherboard or not?
C: ADB might not be able to connect if he can't get the phone booted.
D: So far JTAG is a no-go on MF3.
C: Yep, but hopefully Samsung will release the full MF3 firmware (hopefully through KIES as well) that will be able to reflash the firmware to the phone.
I would say replace it or be screwed until MF3 firmware drops.

Why did AT&T updated to MF3!!!!!!!!!! do if MF3 comes out, does that mean i can flash that with Odin?

I'm sure AT&T views MF3 as a complete success. It's just the people interested in customizing and modding their phones (XDA minded people) that hate it.
When Samsung releases the full MF3 firmware, you should be able to use ODIN to flash back to stock. However, no one will know for sure until it is released. It has been a while since the MF3 OTA started to roll out, so if Samsung is going to release the full MF3 firmware, it should be soon.
As far as JTAG goes, I haven't seen a successful flash yet. I think the JTAG people are waiting for the firmware release as well.
I thought J-Tag works for flashing MF3 but doesn't work for downgrade. It doesn't work for both?

Yay! thank you so much for at least giving me hope to fix my device. i was very experienced developer of galaxy a, you may never heard of galaxy a. it was released only in Korea. i thought galaxy s4 might be similar to galaxy a. i should've studied more. in Korea, we used to make custom roms flashable by Odin. XDA doesn't seem to have roms that are flashable with Odin. i used to make my own roms. please could you help me fixing my phone when MF3 releases? i don't know a lot about galaxy s4. again, thank you.
XDA is full of ODIN flashable Stuff. MF3 is just locked tight. We are working on some stuff to make it better for now until there is a bootloader unlock.

This is from the thread when Aou was trying to JTAG his device...
well i finally got in touch with mobile tech and got a refund/explanation of our problem it seems the qfuse being blown is the main reason this is happening..
Unfortunately, we were not able to repair your device. The device's onboard EMMC controller was in a non-responsive state. It is advised to try out warranty replacement if possible or to search for a parts device and use it's mainboard for the swap.
The blown fuse is the reason JTAG (or ODIN / KIES) for that matter) can not revert the device to a previous firmware.
Once the full MF3 firmware is available, it will probably be possible to restore the device via JTAG to MF3, but as we know, the MF3 firmware is not yet available. Therefore, it can not be done (yet). And once / if it is released, there is no guarantee it will work until it is tried.
The quote from Mobile Tech above mentions swapping mainboards, but I don't think it will work due to the NV memory I mentioned before (but maybe it can?).
Anyway, the key seems to be wait until the full MF3 firmware is released or wait until / if the bootloader is unlocked. I think the firmware is the better bet and it isn't guaranteed.
Switching out motherboards should be no issue. All that is being done is dropping it into the back of the screen, plugging in some flex cables, slap it back together and booting it up. I know why we can't downgrade, just didn't realize that a full system dump of MF3 was not enough for J-Tag.

Well, be careful. The SGH-I337 (AT&T S4) has a locked bootloader, so only official firmware (signed by Samsung's encrypted key) can be flashed via ODIN. To complicate things, the MF3 update (which you have) made the previous firmwares unflashable via ODIN. Phones that did not update to MF3 (still on MDB or MDL firmware) have the ability to flash Custom recoveries and Roms because of an exploit called "LOKI". LOKI was patched when the MF3 OTA was released. So any phone on MF3 can not flash recoveries or ROMs at this point. ODIN is basically useless for the time being.
I highly suggest you read the "pinned" threads in the "general" and Q & A sections. Alsor ead the threads that have "MF3" in the titles. This will give you a good understanding of what your options are if / when you can repair your phone. There is a method being developed that would allow several custom Roms to exist on the phone (MF3), but it hasn't been tested or released yet. The thread about it is in the "general" section as well. However, again, it will do you no good unless you get your phone repaired / replaced.

I realize the physical action of switching motherboards isn't an issue, I was just wondering if it would do any good? If the NV memory remains in another area of the circuitry, or other memory remains that still has a part of the MF3 bootloader structure intact, switching the motherboard by itself won't do any good. If all structures of the MF3 bootloader are included on the motherboard, maybe it would work.
Also, last I knew, bootloaders can't be pulled via system dump. They have to be obtained via official firmware release. In the case of MF3, the bootloader parts from the OTA can't be combined with a system dump from a post OTA MF3 device because of signing issues. It just doesn't work. It's been tried. I know there are a couple of MF3 Tar balls floating around but they are only good for parting out. Aou has tried a bunch of this stuff. Honestly, I do not know 100% of the technical reasons why it won't work. I have a pretty good understanding but that is it. Truly, the MF3 Bootloader is the problem and until the full, official, MF3 firmware is released from Samsung (or a signing key is released / leaked) I don't see much happening in the area of repairing / restoring bricked MF3 devices.
It shouldn't remain. The only other parts that are separate from the motherboard and screen assembly. Are the charging port assembly/flex,the camera, the softkeys/home button assembly and the back housing that just holds antennas. None of that should have anything on it that would hold any residual MF3 data. Even if something did, it would have to hold the whole update to possibly do any kind of damage in eras of installation and blowing the Qfuse. If it did not and it blew the fuse without updating, it would instantly render the device useless if the motherboard had MDL on it.
All data is stored in the motherboard.

Change Splash Screen?

How do you go about changing the splash screen on the S4? I came from an HTC One which achieved it through fastboot but to my understanding AT&T's S4 doesn't have fastboot.
P.S I'm not talking about boot animations since a lot of people get them confused lol.

How do you go about changing the splash screen on the S4? I came from an HTC One which achieved it through fastboot but to my understanding AT&T's S4 doesn't have fastboot.
P.S I'm not talking about boot animations since a lot of people get them confused lol.

I don't believe you can. I had an HTC before this and a custom splash, but the splash on this one is probably integrated into the bootloader (so it changes with the custom flag).
