Hi I have an s4 and when it starts up it shows a padlock and says Samsung custom. Is there a way to take this off? I am a newbie so I may need dummy instructions. And second when I try to update my phone to Kitkat it doesn't fond the update. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance.

Are you happened to be rooted or have disabled any apps? At every single boot the system scans for these things, though I don't think it would prevent you from getting an update, just give it a Lil more time.

Sorry for that last post. It was a test because I couldn't post for some reason

You get the custom only if you have made modifications to the system partition and that can happen only if you are rooted
Well I did have to send it in for a repair and the guy rooted it. I ended up removing the root via the superuser app option.

If you use the forums search function you will find many instances where people ran across the same thing for many different reasons. You will need to check (based on what you will find) and see which reason is causing your problem with ADB. It could be anything from a driver issue to out-of-date SDK tools and many other reasons so there is no way to know until you check and trouble shoot.
the de-odex thread talks about at&t. will this work on other carriers?
Rogers in particular?
I had an Active and remember seeing this. option in the settings (to move apps to sd), but I traded it in for a regular s4 and this phone doesn't have that option. If I check for a software update via att it says I'm up to date, how can I tell for sure though? I did try searching both xda and the web but I didn't have much luck, so please go easy on me, thank you....

From what I know, we haven't had that update yet. The active and international devices have it. I think there are options with rooting and roms.

Thank you, I'm using folder mount so it's not a big deal, I just always want to have the latest firmware. When the update does come out, will I be able to update over the air even if I'm rooted (by using OTA rootkeeper), or will I have to flash the firmware via Odin and restore everything? Thanks!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
I have an AT&T i337 S4 running Android 4.3 MK2.
I was stupid and tried to flash a recovery that wasn't compatible, now my phone only boots into ODIN mode.
I've been looking for the MD5 files for 4.3 MK2 with no success.
Does any know what I need to do to fix my phone?
Go to best buy and have them reflash the firmware. If not there's a guide in the mj6-mj9 just search and read the forums.

Using I337 S4 rooted unable to install safestrap unable to parse issues. Any help
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Ok everything worked good untill the custom rom flash.. It wouldn't leave the galaxy s4 screen.. So I had to re Odin the Damn thing because it didn't load safestrap anymore.. We'll. Odin failed for 2 Damn hours but after many failed attempts it finally got me back to NB1.. Then I refreshed NC1, installed towelroot and superuser and safestrap and changed to permissive.. Tried flashing a different rom (deadly venom) and every time I try to load it it just loads the normal firmware but on the custom slot.. So I'm not sure if I did anything wrong or if I should try a 3rd rom

I got golden eye to work on the main slot I think.. It's says that it's the build but it looks stock
Edit: after reviewing the goldeneye page.. It says stock look and feel so I'm assuming it's working..
