I bought a prototype SGS4 SCH-R970 USCellular on ebay a couple weeks ago, flashed a rooted rom, messed up, nandroid wouldnt work, bricked phone :crying:
My phone had been stuck in the samsung logo when starting up the boot sequence, after weeks of reading and searching all the forums I could find, I was able to get it to work. Many phone shops and fellow android developers I know said it was bricked and to give up on it but here's how I got it out of brickmode
I found this epic thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2295557
First: I cleared the cache and dalvik as usual.
Second: I Flashed a stock cricket system and kernel "CricketME4_Unrooted_System-Kernel" google it.
Third: Flashed that loki zip found on the thread above.
Fourth: Cleared caches again and rebooted.
Edit: I was able to fix wifi loading CM http://get.cm/?device=jflteusc still working on which one has every single feature working, or at least as many as possible xD
Camera does not seem to focus at the moment, I think it might be due to the rom, which is meant to be used with SCH-R970C
Thats it! Took a couple mins to boot up completely but it got it out of brickmode, if anyone knows or has a stock metropcs rom let me know!
I'll check this thread every now and then so if you have questions be patient unless someone else answers, hope this helps anyone else out there :cyclops:

Hi all I also have this box. Earlier when it is stock 4.2.1 i5s camera was working fine. But when I flash cm11 on it its camera firmware is updated and after that momemt camera is not focusing so. Now camera only work either we have to downgrade the camera firmware to match with phone firmware or somehow have to update the phone firmware.
So
Camera firmware should be <= phone firmware
But our camera firmware is greater that phone firmware
See the attachment
finally after 2 months of research i fixed my camera issue.....if anyone still wants,,tell me...i will upload the solution(nandroid)

p.s.s Is anyone know how to use gsm on this phone? (normal r970 works. prototype can not work may because of the lock of modem?)

I had the older version of pacman and now trying to flash the new one. I downloaded pac_jfltetmo-nightly-20131018.zip and gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip. I reboot to recover, restore my phone, flash the ROM then Gapps. I reboot my phone and when i get to the welcome page to setup my phone i click one start and instantly a message pops up saying, "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped. Blame Tyler." I tried a dozen times and the same thing. Can anyone help please.

Edit. I tried flashing the ROM by itself then booting the device. Then reboot into recovery and flash the gapps. It worked for me and I have seen others say it is hit or miss. It is worth a try though.

Did you try a clean install?
-wipe data/factory reset
-flash ROM
-flash gapps
-restart
no "restore"
If you say you had an "Older" version, does this mean you were on PAC23 (with android version 4.2.2)?
If you are on a pre-android 4.3 version of PAC, you need to do a full wipe. If you are already on a 4.3 version of PAC and you have "blame tyler" issues, try factory reset, if the problem persists, try a different nightly
Just a little curious...is the Blame Tyler error a specific error or set of errors, or does Tyler get blamed for everything?
Also, can we get Tyler's xda username, so he can get the blame he deserves :laugh:

try redownloading the rom zip! and check its md5 code before flashing!!
also do a clean flash! all wipes!
if it doesnt work then even try fix permissions option !

'Blame Tyler' error is just a generic message displayed when some component crashes/throws an unhandled exception, etc. It's not related to a bad ROM d/l or MD5 code. Telling people to do a full wipe b/c of an undiagnosed error condition doesn't help much. There are far too many little brokens with this ROM that need to be addressed and given more developer support, if this ROM is get more adoption.
Since RC1, nightlies have been dropping for 2 months now - no log of what's fixed or added, unless you are a dev who can wade thru the build change logs and understand what that means. It's ridiculous that we've gone this long since RC1 with a new stable release and documented fixes. Maybe this info is buried somewhere, but it's not in the Spring GS4 forum and the Pac-Man website forum is dead.
These errors are not specific to any one nightly and have been going on for months.
the tyler message is just a replacement of the force close messages. It is meant as a joke as he is one of our devs and we all take turns being blamed for breaking stuff.
If your coming from the old stable and flashing the newest nightile...comming from 4.2.2. to 4.3.1 then a full wipe is required due to the different databases and newer code that isnt compatable with the old version. This should fix your issues.
Also please dont post tylers username as its not nice to go and troll him...
I flashed the rom successfully after a full wipe this weekend. Amazeballs. I blame Tyler for making all my friends jealous of my phone.
I want to keep up with nightlies. The only thing not working for me is the wifi tether. If I have the US snapdragon quad-core variant do I want the pac-jfltetmo.zip?

i have flashed your pac man rom to my galaxy sl everything went right but its keyborad was not working then i manually flashed another JB keyboard in recovery mode... then it worked ... and i flashed blackgapps(JB 4.2.2) from ENHDROIX developers and it is working quite well...
the only problem i had was keyboard stuff..
so devs should fix that issue...
GUYS THIS IS VERY STRANGE.. The nav bar at the bottom overlaps half of the dock of next launcher which makes the dock completely unusable and ugly.. the same problem persist in 50% of the other apps notably go sms, quick pic, go launchers and many others.. I have tried the milestone releases and a few latest nightlies but its still not fixed..
Its hard to believe there are many discussions of issues about pac rom going on but I didn't find this preety obvious and significant one anywhere..
I have waited like 3 months since I started with pac, updated about 5 nightlies along the way hoping it will be fixed but no luck everytime..
This one is serious.. It has forced me not to use some of my fav apps and use pie navigation at times..
No problem with all the minor bugs but this one is frustrating..
ANY IDEA GUYS??
PS. pac ver 4.3.1 on sg tab p3100 and sg3

Hello,
I found this ROM to be great, operates really well but I have two problems.
Firstly, the LED notification indicator does not work at all, including when plugged in.
Secondly, whenever I enter my SD card into the phone it seems to be unable to mount. I receive the message "SDcard safe to remove now" almost as soon as I plugged it in like I unmounted it.
Any idea why?
Thanks.
The Best rom!
Hi! I have a question... Will be lollipop for us? This rom is amazing (Sorry for my bad english) LOL!
want lollipop for this phone!!
Note: problem solved with new update, clean installed.
I keep getting a random "updating camera firmware. Please wait.." message, I'm not even using the camera it just pops randomly when opening apps. Anyone know what's wrong . it takes at least 20 seconds till it stops popping up and disappears. I'm paranoid that I have an app that's taking photos and uploading them without me knowing.

No LTE on Kangapop 1.0
FYI -- Just clean flashed kangapop 1.0 -- and I got no LTE capabilities, even if I try to manually change it in cellular settings.
Tried both the loki'd googy and loki'd stock kernel -- no difference in behavior, still no LTE.
Otherwise a very promising ROM! Can't wait for version 1.1

I did that too and it wasn't working. Until I started driving home and then suddenly it started working again. LTE is functioning again for me, but it took like an hour to find an LTE connection the first time.

Encryption
Has anyone been able to get the device encrypted after flashing this ROM? I am using the TWRP recovery and flashed the latest build after wiping everything instructed to. I picked the google loki kernel. When I try to encrypt I just get the new loading screen and it never begins the encryption process. After that it tells me that the encryption process failed and the only way to do anything at that point is to flash back to stock with Odin. I have been using CWM with the 4.4.4 ROMs and able was able to encrypt no problem. I did notice I wasn't able to encrypt using TWRP and the 4.4.4 9.0 Kangakat but I am able to encrypt using that same ROM and the CWM recovery. I hope I am doing something wrong. Any help would be appreciated and welcome. Thank you
Menu buttons on screen like a nexus phone, not using the samsung buttons?
Hi,
I fell in love in first sight with this rom! However, there is one thing I can't seem to figure out what I've done wrong (maybe it's because of the beer, lol..)
I have the default nexus buttons like if it was a Google phone. Here is what I tried so far :
I tried the Stock Google options, and the 2nd option for the Bell Canada available (not AT&T).
I would like to have the Samsung buttons available for use instead of the Google nexus menu. Correct me if I did anything wrong throughout the installation but I believe I've tried most of the options that were available to me but I can't seem to find what I've done wrong.
Thanks in advance for the help and sick rom Buddy, keep doing the gr8 work!
edit; I'm running the Apex launcher
I keep getting a notification to update KANGAKAT to lollipop, how can I get rid of it? Thanks

Change Selinux back to permissive
My setup was the Sprint Galaxy S4 SPH - L720 running Jellybean 4.3 NAE firmware. Long story short, I soft bricked my phone trying to upgrade to a Negaman's Rom & Kernal. Found the stock NAE firmware and flashed through Odin to get back running. Since i had already been rooted unbeknownst to me there was a new upgrade out. Now I'm running running Kitkat 4.4.2 NG2 firmware. I used to be able to use terminal and l the
pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid
Commands to enable permission for use with my Pioneer Appradio 3.
But now SeLinux says enforcing and commands don't work. So that's my fault for not checking first. Now my question is, is can I roll back to Jellybean 4.3 or is there a Rom and/or Kernal that will change SeLinux from enforcing to permissive for the Sprint variant of the Galaxy S4 Sph-L720. I don't need a bunch of features, I just need to get back to permissive. I've seen similar for other GS4 variants, the GS5, & even the Note 3, just nothing for Sprint. Has development ceased for the Sprint GS4? Is all hope lost? Any suggestions or forum suggestions?
