Yes, its done, a stock root deodexed version. Two issues though, one wifi wont reliably work and every now and again it force closes. Building roms isnt my expertise though, ill probably have to ask beans or andybones for some help. Maybe one of them gets it done before me? Ive also been porting a bunch of 4.3 apps over (have about 12 that work right now) but im easily distracted lol plus its football Sunday!

No, the entire rom will restart. They upped the security from me7. I almost think people should stay on me7.

I am so annoyed with Samsung and Verizon. I may not know much about Android but it is a hobby of mine and they're killing it.

I agree, im beyond annoyed as well. I wish this stuff was as easy as it used to be. Every build requires workarounds.

I find that to be highly unlikely. There is going to be a ****load of optimization that will go into updating everything to 4.3 for our phones, while I know the AOSP Devs are fast as hell I don't think even they are that fast.
If you mean stock 4.3...... Well it could be a year before we see anything.

sbrissen posted a pic running 4.3.
While it's not released yet, and it AOSP, it does seem like it will be released VERY soon.
So for anyone that has sent theirs back to try and get on with the old software on the phone... I called and told them my speaker wasn't working and they are sending me a new one but I believe it is going to be a factory refurbished black 16gb...what are my chances of it having old software so I can root, unlock and get custom recovery?! Anyone that has experienced this your input would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!!!

If you took the time to search there many posts of ppl sending back and getting phones with MDK, also those with new OTA, so like I said, it's a crap shoot and it's 50/50.. Cant hurt to try, though
The chances likely decrease each day for getting the MDK build so the sooner the better.

Nobody would know the chances. Good luck with your refurbished. I dont know about sending in a perfectly working phone to receive a refurb, I guess if you want the MDK then do what you gotta do. I personally cant stand the purple smear on the MDK build...its horrible and unbearable.

All roms built off of mdk do this smearing, even AOSP builds. Its very noticeable in the gallery too.
I'm surprised nobody notices it other than me, its the most annoying thing to deal with, makes the gs4 screen look crappy.

Just got this MDK S4 so I need a little help from the pros here..
I don't see anywhere where I can select my APN and I can't get 4G at all. I've flashed the mk2 modem and here is what my settings look like...
I'm on AOKP 4.4 and I've flashed a couple other roms like Beanstalk and Slim and it's the same thing.
I'm sure I'm just over looking something.

Not sure if this is even rom related. I threw my sim card from my old s4 into this one. Everything seemed to work off the jump but maybe I have to call Verizon? I'm back on stock MDK now and still no 4g even after getting into apn settings and verifying everything. Not really sure.

Well I forgot that this phone connected up to my wifi at the house and I wasnt on 4g/lte
I was pre occupied with fixing this thing. When I got it it had both TWRP and CWM installed and it was screwing things up big time. Phone was bootlooping etc.. Just not acting normal. Did a full wipe.. Then I wasc teaching myself how to root MDK and Loki and new throw TWRP back on. Anyways I didn't notice that itv actually never said connected to 4g. Dumb mistake on my part.

The lady I spoke with at Verizon said I should have good just to pop my sim into this one and go. . However sometimes it doesn't take all the way and you need to call. Figure going from one s4 to another would be easy but she said because they are the same exact phone pretty much that it may have screwed up the id numbers more easily. Hey you got me. Course now I have to wait until I'm home and have both phones powered off and on front of me. Suppose I was too eager to fire this one up and get my aosp on .
Hey thanks for checking in though. .. pretty silly mistake on my part but I'm human what can I do
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Well not that this really should have been a thread in the first place but...
A new sim card fixed the issue. They said that sometimes for no reason at all you'll need a new one when switching between phones.

Before I get people in here looking to "flame a noob", please leave me alone if that is your intention. If you genuinely are a helpful person, please read on.
I came from an unlocked s3 before I purchased a phone from Swappa and it is rooted and works fine. However, it has a pink theme and I am not into it. Additionally, I want to upgrade the rom if possible.
The issue is that I don't know if I need safestrap or of it has an unlocked bootloader. The reason why is from what I have read, the mj7 baseband is locked down. However, the phone seems to be running a custom kernel, which from what I have read is not possible on a locked down version. Is it possible that the baseband is just the one used by the custom rom?
Is there a definitive way to know if I can install roms without safestrap?
Thanks for your help!
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Install phone info app from play store. If you don't see any reference to mdk...then you have a locked bootloader and can only use safestrap
sent by safestrap powered echo v26
I'm no pro, but I think having that kernel means that you have a mdk phone. I guess you should still check with "samsung phone info" and take a look at the bootloader part. You might be a lucky man
You rock. I installed the app and found this. It seems that I have the MDK bootloader. Perfect.
Thank you!

You are one of us lucky ones. Just a golden rule for MDK users.......NEVER take an OTA update. I recommend vanir ROM if you want to try aosp.

Guys, just wanted to say thanks again. I was able to install Hyperdrive on my S4 with TWRP, just like I used to on my s3. This is awesome. Thanks for everything.

No problem...
Let me first say sorry for an apparently dumb question. I don't have a Verizon gs4 or a gs4 at all for that matter. I'm trying to help out a few family members that have vzw gs4. They recently got an update and aren't happy with it. Some weird volume issues and the battery getting very hot. I'm trying to find out what the latest update was? Are there many people having issues with it and is it known issues by Verizon......can they expect another update soon to fix the issues etc?
I figured where better to ask than the xda gs4 community.
I'm very familiar with Samsung phones and Android in general. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I can see where using your phone for business it should be locked down, however, I would gladly pay $50 to have them just unlock the bootloader.
