[Q] how do you disable ota on stock rooted rom? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I'm worried about the losing the exploit that gives us the ability to flash roms. Does anyone know how to disable the OTA in a stock rooted rom. I think this is how they did it for the S3
My guess is that my question will be updated by djrbliss on his original thread soon, so maybe nm.

I froze FWUpgrade.apk and renamed /etc/security/otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak. Anything I missed? Not sure my method is right.

Edit: Damn you guys respond fast! I will try Neuspadrins method also...
Edit2: Found this idea while browsing my favorite rom dev site... Dunno if this works or not, but I haven't seen any I'll effect yet. ..
In the system/app folder, rename the file wssyncmlnps.apk to .apk.bak
Is not the same file he suggested for the AT&T version, but its dang close.
All credits go to Scotts rom.com (sscroler) here I think is How'is spelled... Just wanted to share.

It's just a system dump from the Motorola Electrify. It's more or less the same as our stock system dump.
Well let the rom making begin! I wanna root and flash my phone badly....but I dont wanna do it until there is a way I can go back to stock for warranty purposes.

Thanks for the hard work, guys.
I wish I were able to make roms.
Unfortunately I'm running into an error when attempting to flash via cwm.
Getting status error 0.

superuser in stock dump?
@shabbypenguin,
I was reading through your AIO root thread and it occurred to me that I had rooted prior to extracting the system dump that is posted in op as "Stock". Therefore, there is a version of superuser present in /app that I assume may not have been there as delivered. Of course, I may be making an incorrect assumption.
Is it appropriate then to call this stock, or is it a given that rooting would have been necessary to perform the dump in the first place?
I also don't know if this would affect your deodexed version?
Just wondering if this fact needs to be mentioned somewhere, unless I just did.

It's says in op that you can't flash using cwn

First off, thanks for all your efforts to provide us with this...
Second, root is a requirement for the dump and so even with the Superuser app, what you supplied is most definitely stock.
Unless of course you deleted anything in /system/ prior to the dump...

This is simply a stock from from the Photon's "sister," the Electrify. No one has even identified if there are any benefits/improvements hidden inside this ROM, much less how compatible it is with the Photon.
Just because something IS flashable doesn't mean you SHOULD flash it. OP was very clear - this is for devs only, not public consumption. If you don't know enough, then you're better off exercising some patience and waiting for further announcements.
actually im gunna guess that the man has an electrify and my cwm script is busted
I would venture to guess that you guys will have the same issue we do with the photon roms. As other members on my team verified that root, recovery, kernel and unlock work from the photon. The kernel needed wifi fixed which was pretty simple. In which I pm'd shabby about earlier. The roms also work but some things need fixed to get it working.
I don't know all the details besides what weasel told myself. But mms, 3g I believe works but going back to stock it wouldn't, eri says sprint, blur e-mail fc's and activation for sprint kept popping up to where you have to skip it. Weasel has fixed most of the stuff in the homebase port. I believe e-mail still fc's and mms is still broke.
But here is the first deodex rom weasel and myself did if you want to add it to the first post. http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=116&t=265
Then here is the kernel shabby did with wifi fixed ready to install. Only rc-1 since wifi was broke in rc-2. If the electrify people want to install it just grab it from shabby's thread. There was reports of 3000's+ in bench's. Not sure of rom it was on but I would venture to guess our stock rom. http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=118&t=334
Then here is the port for homebase weasel is playing with http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=116&t=268 if you guys wanted to look at it.
i would gather a lot of frameworks issues, as with services.jar would happen between the phones.
edit: you keep saying you fixed wifi. but the only way to fix it, is by rebuilding the modules using my config file.. which only i have...
unless im missing some other way to replace it?

[SYSTEM] ATT Galaxy Note Root

This one is difference than Da_G one. Da_G one is perm root but it will increase flash counter. This one flash with Odin but in system level not boot kernel
http://www.filefactory.com/file/c3cd812/n/att_note_root.zip
please elaborate ?
i'm a bit confussed
Where is the file?
im guessing what he means is that when you flash this via odin it will give you root perms UNTIL you reboot then you will no longer have root kinda like the temp root the evo3d started with
Hi,
I think what Mashi meant to say and didn't explain too well is that this is a pre-rooted /system image, in the form of system.img.ext4 inside of a pda.tar to be flashed via odin.
Both ways result in a permanently rooted system partition, just this way flashes it directly, leaving the stock kernel intact, whereas my method flashes a modified kernel which then roots the /system partition via a script.
Apparently the download site he uploaded it to doesn't allow non-premium users to download files that large.

+1. I decided i don't want to mess with flashing roms and kernels with this phone, i just want root so i can block adds and restore my titanium backups from old phone.
Well... a friend got one and wants root as well, and my first thing I told him, pull system, root it, (add su to /system/bin and superuser.apk to /system/app) then flash it back with Odin.
Can anyone tell me that would not work? It sounds like that is what this is...

[Q] Need Stock ROM

$5 DONATION TO YOUR PAYPAL IF YOU GET ME THIS ROM!
Does anyone have ATGAdmins stock rooted ROM? Here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590754
While spring cleaning my Prime a few weeks ago, I deleted the zip. Later on, I accidentally deleted my nandroid backup also. ATGAdmin has closed up shop on XDA and I cannot find the ROM anywhere else.
It was the stock .21 ROM rooted with super user and busy box..that's it. No mods, either performance wise or visual wise. If anyone has it or can tell me where to get it, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks.
if you want to run stock .21 just install like .15 or something, root it, use OTA rootkeeper, then do an OTA update to .21...
Only works with OTA updates tho, so if you cant do those then unfortunately this wont work.

Yea, forgot to mention I'm rooted and unlocked, so no OTA updates for me. I know most people that tried the ROM still have the zip, it's just a matter of them finding this post and sharing.

Almost. From the Virtous thread: This is a pretty much stock build of Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich with tweaks and optimization's by the Virtuous Team.
That's what I didn't want. Because there are tweaks and optimizations, etc, some games don't work. Also, for some weird reason, a lot of people are claiming that the Prime is suddenly randomly rebooting recently. Someone said maybe a framework expired or something....idk.
what games dont work for ya?
Someones gotta have this ROM...

Thanks man...that's not what I wanted, but I'm going to DL it anyway before it's gone. It's a shame he left. Jermaine151 left XDA and went to Rootzwiki, but ATGAdmin completely DISAPPEARED. Even his website is gone.

Hey thanks a lot man. Hopefully someone has it. The way that I accidentally deleted my backup was because the backups are named by date, and I'm not sure if you can change the names, so I write the date of the backup down along with what ROM it is. Well I got mixed up somewhere (like 8 backups) and marked the stock ROM as something else, and later deleted it...thinking I was deleting an old AOKP. I'm afraid hardly anyone has it because it was just a plain stock ROM, just rooted with busybox and SU. So it wasn't very popular. I found another stock ROM I'm using now but it's the WW firmware and it bothers me. And the trackpad doesn't work. So thanks for the offer.
I'M STILL LOOKING FOR ATGADMINS STOCK ROM....EVERYONE! LINK IN FIRST POST!

ICS Update Un Rooted My Phone... Quick ?

Hopefully I posted this in the right forum, If not please move it!
Ok, So I updated my phone via Kies and got the official ICS update (Finally) for my AT&T Galaxy Note, Problem is, as expected... it unrooted my phone and I'd like it rooted again, I want to keep the new official stock ICS rom and just want it rooted again to delete all that garbage bloatware to keep my phone sharp, any help?
Do i just re-root it doing it the same way I did before?
Will it ruin my new ICS rom?
Can anyone link me to the files that will root my phone but keep the ICS Stock Rom?
I didnt have a single problem Rooting it the first time on ginerbread, but Im not sure what will happen with a different official rom installed. Just dont wanna have to reinstall ICS again or something, when I just spent about an hour setting it back to how I had everything, then remembered updating unrooted me.
Any advice or help is really appreciated!
Thanks!
Not really in right section more like a Q&A section.
However the devs need a little time to sort through all the code but these guys are smart and root will come soon and they will proudly announce it. Just enjoy for now.

And I hope im not asking too much, but can anyone link me to the files I need directly? The last ones I used was from a source outside of XDA (xda was down for maintenance) and I think it gave me a virus on my computer and after doign a system restore today i dont wanna do that again lol. so if its not a problem can someone link me to the right files i need?
Thanks everyone!
Yes.
Now look one post above your last one.
To see the links Mr. Joe is referencing you need to be on a pc.
To install CWM you need to be on a pc.
To root you need a pc.
Mr.Joe would only post trusted links.

I successfully updated my Note to ICS yesterday and want to root it again as well. I looked through the Note section in BigJoe's thread, but can't figure out exactly what files I need. I rooted it with Gingerbread without issue. I've looked through the unlocking/rooting section and the one thread that explains how to root specifically says that the method will NOT work with the official ICS update.
Sorry to sound so dense, but could someone link exactly which files I/we need to root the official ICS via Odin?
What you asked for is in the third post.

ps that odin3 file doesnt work just gives a random script window then force closes

Will this work?

Me and a few others in this forum need a stock tmo rom on 1.27.531.7. Would it work if i were to just edit one of the the "stock-rooted" roms on my pc and delete the superuser.apk, save, and then flash the rom? I was going to try it but just seemed to simple for someone else to not have suggested it, and with my luck something would go horribly wrong. Would i need to edit anything else or do you think it would work? Thanks..
I just swapped my One at the tmobile store today and backed up the stock Rom before root with TWRP. Not sure what baseband version though. When I get home I will check it out and post a link if it is what your looking for.

I just flashed a custom kernel with r/w and deleted the superuser apk and bin, then flashed back to stock kernel and everything is all good. Im sure others could use your back up though, it was really hard to find the "correct" stock rom for me.:good:
