Good link to of Hyper Drive RSL12 to use on att S4

Hello,
I have been looking to try out the Hyper Drive rom for some time now, but haven't been able to find a good link with a matching md5 number. I have a att samsung s4. I am rooted with safestrap and running MK2. i have read my fair share of threads and have found everything i need except a working link. I understand that Hyper Drive RSL14 the newest version isnt compatible with MK2 ATT. I have read that RSL12 for verizon S4 is compatible with ATT. is this true? or am i mixing things up? can anyone point me in the right direction? the help will be much appreciated.

Not sure who told you rls14 isn't compatible bc plenty of people on safestrap are using it. One guy on safestrap is having an issue with Wi-Fi right now and I was trying to help him out.

Hyperdrive RLS12, 13, and 14 all work on MK2.
What you are thinking of is only the v12 that was in the Verizon thread worked on SS. The v12 in the ATT thread did not.
Now with version 14, the download for the att thread points to the download in the verizon thread, so it's the same ss compatible version. (I believe that was the case with v13 too.)

Thanks for the clarification.

I use Google a lot and find if you type anything to do with what your looking for it will pop up.with this phone its not a good habit to take shortcuts.

Negative. Only touchwiz based roms will work with 4.3 MK2.
Your best bet is using an AOSP themed ROM such as blackbox or purified. You can find some more info here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616221
Or, more simply, install a new launcher such as apex or nova and then you won't have to worry about touchwiz

That's extremely disappointing. I'm really starting to hate this phone and I think I'm going to call att tomorrow and see if I can get something else. Perhaps an htc one or lg g2. But this isn't going to work out. This is not the level of customization I want. Touch wiz goes deeper than just the launcher, and what happens in another year or two when att stops providing updates? No, I'm done and I don't want this thing anymore. Bad ATT and bad Samsung.

I'm no expert, but anything other than MDB and MDL means a locked bootloader. AFAIK that means, all safestrap does is let you load a different rom, but that rom has to be based on the touchwiz kernel. That means no AOSP and that means no CM11. I'm in the same boat.

Hello,
Sorry to revive this after several months of inactivity, but I have exactly the same problem and am confused by the information I have found on XDA, possibly a fault of my own. I have a Galaxy S4 AT&T i337 with MK2 4.3, and I want to run CM11.
A much much more tech savvy friend of mine setup my phone in January 2013 with CM11 using the TWRP recovery. It originally was just the AT&T stock everything. Unfortunately, I no longer have contact with him, and I have no idea how he did any of this . I was specifically running the build from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2383143, which is now here: http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/galax...h_app2sd_glove_mode_dual_boot_for_all_s4.html
Since then it updated automatically to the last nightlies without any issues. Two days ago, however, I updated, and my phone went into a boot loop. I booted into recovery and tried to flash the last version that worked, but that resulted in my phone staying in a boot loop without being able to boot into recovery. I then used Odin to flash the original firmware and stock ROM, and now it works fine, but I miss CM11 very badly (or more accurately I find the stock ROM annoying in comparison).
The previous posts here indicate that CM11 cannot be installed on the i337 MK2. Also, this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42320414&postcount=2 lead me to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428254 which says "Also, at this time, only TW based ROMs will work with SS. CM, AOSP, AOKP, MIUI, etc will not work." But I do not actually understand the difference between Safestrap and TWRP enough to know whether or not Safestrap not allowing CM11 means this model won't allow CM11 at all.
I would like to understand why there is indication that CM11 cannot be put on the i337 MK2 when my friend somehow succeeded. Then perhaps we can succeed in devising a method to install CM11 on this model. I apologize for not having any proof that it worked, but I swear I ran CM11 on this exact model and firmware build for many months very happily.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this discrepancy? Sorry if this is a naive/stupid post. Thanks in advance to anyone who chimes in.

Changed my S4 model?

I own a originally Sprint S4, after rooting and playing around with it (I recall updating the modem and installing Triforce Custom ROM).. one day i realized it turned into a Canadian S4 when I tried to install another Custom ROM (Beanstalk 4.4.2), CWM said I was trying to install a jfltespr file and I needed a jlftecan one. I looked for the canadian version of the ROM and it installed without a problem and everything works. My phone now shows model as SGH-l337M and I can install anything made for the Canadian variant. Can someone explain to me how is this possible and how can I revert whatever I did? Thanks in advance.
P.S: I'm positive that I played around with more things, I just don't remember.

Glitch in the Matrix... should have taken the blue pill.

You flashed a ROM that was not for this Sprint S4 (SPH-L720) so of course the model will show as different. If you want a U.S. Sprint model ROM then flash one of them to get the right build number.
Not sure what you're asking. Or are you just stating?

Thanks for answering, my question was how do I go back to Sprint model and you just answered. But I can't help to wonder, can I use this method to freely change my S4 Model so I can install say, International S4 ROMS? (I9005)

You do NOT change the model your phone will forever be a SPH-L720. Its only a build prop change that happens that makes it seem like the model number has changed. I can do.the same thing with stock NAE ROM by changing one line in the build prop.

As daniel4653 said you don't change the model - it is what it is. Like slaping a Mercedes hood ornament on a yugo - it's still a yugo.
and if you want to
change my S4 Model so I can install say, International S4 ROMS? (I9005)

the answer is pretty much NO. Unless it's ported to the Sprint Galaxy S4 hardware. Unless you want to turn your device into a pretty paperweight that is.

I've got it, thank you for answering. So in order to go back to make my phone accept SPH-L720 ROMS via CWM I need to force-flash(say Odin) a Sprint ROM? Can't I just change that line in the build.prop?

You don't have to change the build prop for anything to flash. Just flash away via Odin or CWM.

The thing is CWM states that I should not be installing jfltespr ROM's whenever i try to because my phone is needs jfltecan ones, even though my phone was originally Sprint but now it displays as Canadian. That's why I wanted to make sure that flashing a Sprint ROM via Odin was safe.

Not really sure what you're doing, with what CWM or how. Sounds to me like you're using some other 'branded' recovery, or some other flashing app.
I suspect a whole lot more reading should be done.
But IF you have a Sprint Galaxy S4 model SPH-L720 (and not the T version) you can install Philz recovery - look in the dev section. Then flash whatever you want.

Help a noob get PAC on his phone

I've hard bricked this thing once trying to flash a rom once. Tried to gain custom recovery via AUTOREC. Should be called Autowreck.
Sometimes it is best just to ask to be pointed in the right direction.
I just learned about LOKI and SAFESTRAP. BUT are these just for TW based ROMS? I want a CM based ROM. PACROM, specifically. I see others with this AT&T phone running it.
Will someone please help a noob with a tutorial or advice and stop me from running in circles? W/ rooted 4.4.2, NC1 build.

Start with reading well the SafeStrap thread by Hashcode in Q&A
and the All Thinks ATT, MK2 in General
You can only use SafeStrap and can not flash non TW roms or custom recoveries/kernels, so CM AOSP etc
Sorry

Been reading the safe strap thread. 89 pages! Stumped on the first one. ENCRYPTED? Not sure. How do I tell? Nb1, Mk2, Mf3 software? No idea. Did not see it in settings> about device. How do I tell is the next step I guess.
On to check the All Thinks Mk2 thread. Sorry for my noobness.

Get a terminal emulator on your phone. In it type:
su
getprop ro.bootloader
What does it say? Look at the last three characters
Edit, in about devices what is your baseband, last three characters?

but, the gist of it is going to All Thinks ATT, MK2 and to post 5
but read all you can in both threads--:good:

Nc1. So this is the SafeStrap file: JFLTE-3.72-kk-B01.apk. How a bow the encryption determination? Sound like a bootloader if it is encrypted.

Did you get nb1 from your baseband? Is your device encrypted? That's different than than the bootloader. Your bootloader is definitely locked. But you can root by updating to nc1 and using towelroot and then safestrap.

Anything else. I have Gravitron zip ready to go. But I cannot even get S'S to open now. "SafeStrap has stopped working". Even after attempted reinstalls. If there was someone here local I could just delegate this to, I would.

That may be. Got safestrap to start working by using se linu mode changer. Still stuck at updating partition details. Gonna start a thread on that I think. Maybe one on the search functions too.

Just as an FYI, I've had very good results with Golden Eye installed via SafeStrap. No problems with it, whatsoever, in my experience. That being said, I'm tired of being restricted to touchwiz ROMs so I've bought a T-Mobile S4 (unlocked SIM/Bootloader) and will be selling my ATT one soon.

Starting to feel the same way. Flashing this sgh-i337 is turning out to be quite an infuriating ordeal. So much conflicting info. Allllll these ROMs available for S4, it seems. But they don't work because this version isn't compatible. And the Tw ones I've tried ALL DAY are not working either. Granted, I was not using SS correctly initially, but now that they are successfully loading in the stock slot are not working. Graviton never boots, stays on the ouroboros snake screen. Imperium has no data or wifi etc (i9505 rom? I tried it as it said it was verified working 9th i337. Nope. Figured it was a problem when it said i9505 on my model). Goldeneye, actually can connect, wifi etc. But when I change settings in Wanam, it does not take them (after reboot). Had all the other connectivity issues until I flashed a patch. Also, I was pretty happy to see than I could activate hotspot. But my device was nowhere to be found by other devices. Modules, kernals, patches, oh my... out of all the tutorials for S4's on the wide wide world of internets, nothing seems to fly. This must be the red headed bastard child of Android.
I know it is all user error, but can nothing be simple?
Just want a simple rom and hotspot. That looks awesome. Hrm.

About to try this GE download. GE-XXUGNG4-37.zip. I tried the later NG-8-38 version last time. And yes, I did the ST update at&t module update previously.

Great googley moogley! I think he's finally got it, folks! Ooooh. Niiice. So smooth. Roomy!
This hacking biz ain't for the faint of heart. Thanks guys!!! MUCH APPRECIAT3D! :good:

[Q] Phone running out of memory, Link2sd app and safestrap

Hello people I was just wondering if anybody was using the Link2sd app on their phone, And if they had any problems running it with safestrap and while running on rom slot? I have a samsung galaxy s5 and its rooted. Im running out of memory on my phone and would like to be able to download more applications

There seems to be some critical and unspecified assumptions being made here that you haven't told us about. Why are you using Safestrap? Is it because your have a locked bootloader e.g. limited by having a Verizon /ATT phone? Or for some other reason? For that matter, what S5 model and precise firmware and Safestrap versions are you using?
We can't see your phone or divine the missing information. You should provide a lot more detail if you are looking for accurate answers.

Sorry about not giving enough information, Im using the latest version of Safestrap. And the reason im using it is because Im running Alliance rom
and the guy on the youtube video told me to install safestrap before installing a new rom so incase something goes wrong I could just reboot using my stock rom. I dont exactly know what safestrap is lol. Anyway i have a Samsung galaxy s5 Verizon model SM-G900V And I have no idea where to find the Firmware versions im using. I would just like to know can I use link2sd on my phone with out causing any problems.

You don't need Safestrap to run the Alliance ROM. Ostensibly you have it because you are using a Verizon phone. Verizon unlike most carriers locks the bootloader which restricts what you can do with your phone. That is a problem that other carriers e.g. TMobile don't have to deal with. Safestrap is an emulator that makes a virtual copy of your ROM, recovery, etc to allow actions that the Verizon locked bootloader wouldn't otherwise allow.
The upshot of which is that using Safestrap enormously complicates how things work and affects compatibility at a low level. The information that you didn't provide about file versions ans so forth is crucial to sorting all that out and I won't venture a guess without that info. I'd suggest that you post your question in the Verizon S5 forum, rather than this one as you'll find a lot more people with the same configuration as you who may be in a good position to answer your question.
