What is the outlook for a a stock/rooted flashable VRUEMJ7 rom for Loki'd people. Nothing custom just stock/rooted.
Based on what I read today it's getting pretty close. There still is no full tar file being provided by Samsung or verizon so things are being pieced together. Once the full tar is available I don't think it will take too long.

Bumping this to see if anyone knows of a dev working on a stock/rooted rom for those with Loki. Now that the official. tar is out I assume someone has started to tackle it. Thanks in advance to all the devs for the work they do. Killer stuff.

I know Nitro was working on it and has a mostly functional 4.3 rom but data and wifi do not work. I really don't know much about this but from what I've read the kernel has added security built in and I'm not sure a work around has been found. I am "patiently" waiting for a mj7 rom as well.

Anyone hear of any potential updates to a Stock/Rooted VRUEMJ7 rom for MDK/Loki'd peeps? Just bumping to see if anyone has heard of status, not requesting ETA as I know better than to go there.
Thanks!

See my other post here. I think that maybe since I was able to flash the tz.mbn that we might be able to exploit the TrustZone similar to how djrbliss did with moto's bootloaders? Of course flashing the dev firmware failed predictably, it did however get much further than MDK;s firmware does. Anyone have any ideas? If not, this might also be able to help kexec. If you guys have any questions/suggestions let me know.

Surge, you think you should post this in the Safestrap discussion thread so hashcode might stumble across it? If he thinks it would help he'd probably recognize it quickly.

Good idea, im just waiting for a user of the dev gs4 to flash the dev modem and confirm it works for them. I confirmed it works on me7 but it would be pretty silly for me post the entire firmware in the gs4 development thread without having a single person confirm that any of it works besides myself lol. Ill post in the safestrap thread once I can actually provide a link to the firmware (that is, once I can post it in development).

Keep in mind that my developer edition was rooted with the all in one tool so my kernel is not correct but modem successfully flashed. Put up the rest and I will be a guinea pig for the rest of the dev phone users. I can use my gs3 if this one bricks.

This is getting me closer to out of the box stock because my wifi is broke now. No big deal as I can flash stock mdk radio and be fine. Also unlimited data helps to. Look at my screenshot above as to why.
One step closer to a complete developer edition package.

Is this kernel version correct? Wifi works now. But I also flashed scroslers stock module package before I flashed this kernel. Wifi did not work until I flashed this kernel, even with stock modules.zip.

MDK. Stock Rooted.
ME7 stock rooted. Kicking myself for waiting so long and missing out on easily obtaining an MDK. Not willing to pull warranty fraud or anything like that either.
This is what I thought was happening. We have a pretty even mix of people on 3 different versions on this phone. The forum here has been dead lately and I think this is the reason. It's unfortunate Samsung gave in to Verizon..... That or the possibility of gaining a government contract was too much for Samsung to turn down. The situation bums me out. I enjoy reading the forums and the lack of activity is disappointing.... However the news of 4.3 seems to have resparked some interest which is encouraging.

The real question is do you need this update? Unless you're in a low LTE reception area there's really no reason to even consider it. I see a lot of posts about failed rooting with MI1 vs ME7 too, so if you're still wanting to root taking the update could be a bad idea. I'd just wait to see what 4.3 brings

MDK stock rooted. Im only missing blocking mode and torch toggle. now with 4.3 I need the gear support, otherwise no need to leave. (but man I would really love to use my watch) coming from a completely tweaked X and RAZR MAXX this phone was awesome out of the box. so with so many stable roms from the get go, maybe thats why there is so little traffic with this phone
ME7 Rooted and some bloatware frozen. Not using TW however. I bounce between Apex Pro, and Next Launcher. Still deciding if i want to update to MI1 and then 4.3. I'll probably wait till 4.3 has a root process.
MDK but thinking about taking the latest stock 4.3 update.

You may be stuck on that for a long time or forever. So far everything has been rootable and 4.3 might be but why take that chance? I would wait at least a week to see if any stock 4.3 roms come out for us on MDK. There is not tar available to make a rom from. I've only read of one person keeping root and it was an extensive process.

I love that they got rid of the notification wi fi thing
I'm not sure of the mechanics involved in building a ROM like this, however I was under the assumption that now that we had Odin .tars and such that we could make a odexed/deodexed version that could be flashed via recovery. Assuming this is true, is anyone working on one, or know of anyone working on one? Assuming it's not yet possible, why?
I'm on ME7 with SS, and I've heard good things about MJ7, but won't upgrade for fear of losing ROMs. Anyone else interested in this or have any information?

Yes it's being worked on. Samsung and Verizon are making this increasingly difficult with each update and there are problems with data and wifi. I'm sure a flashable rom is coming...... Hopefully soon.

I see. When you say they are makk g it increasingly more difficult, does that mean they are actively trying to keep people from aftermarket firmware?
Also, I'm assuming you are in contact with the people working on these ROMs? Are things looking likely to be resolved with the data/WiFi issues, or is that yet to be determined?

Look at the ECHOE port from AT&T... I was able to flash it and get everything, except outgoing SMS/MMS, working perfectly... but no outgoing texting made me go back to Hyperdrive 10... the build prop srill causes the device name and such to show up as if it were the AT&T variant of the S4, but EVERYTHING was awesome (except texts)...
That said, I am on MDK with TWRP recovery... so it is not an option for everyone.
If one of the devs wants to get texts fully working, I would likely run it as my daily driver.

I've been away a while. If I'm understanding correctly I can one click route my MK2 and install Samsung based ROMs without a custom recovery using mobile Odin. Can anyone please confirm it or correct me? If I'm right can you give me ideas what to look for in a ROM that will work with this method. Thanks and sorry if this has been asked. I did search but there wasn't much to look at in terms of direct solutions.

Personally, I've never heard of what you're describing. The only way I know of with MK2 is to root using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758.
After that, your only option for roms is Safestrap. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2441441. You will only be able to install TouchWiz 4.3 based roms. Make sure they're compatible with Safestrap before you install.
My advice would be to do a lot of research. This is a good place to start. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2606501.
Good luck
Edit: Just noticed your profile says your using AT&T. This is the Verizon forum.

This is the Verizon forum, not at&t. However I believe mobile odin is only useful for restoring the phone to a factory state without a computer, not flashing roms, yet you must be rooted. I could be wrong though.

Well as far as I know Odin is just for flashing the firmwares and a custom recovery is for flashing ROMs. Maybe there is an exception, but I don't think so

Ok looking like I misunderstood then. Thanks for the clarification. I don't think I trust the idea of the safestrap. I know it's safer, but I have been flashing ROMs for years and the recovery method makes me warm and tingly. I don't think they'll ever crack into the ability to flash the way we're all used to. For every genius we have that's capable of figuring it out, Samsung has 10 that can stop it. I pray they get it, but my hopes are fading.

safestrap has been around for years for other phones and recently hashcode ported to the S4 last fall. I have used it since that time with zero issues and have been running several ROMs at a time to evaluate, with again no issues with safestrap. Not sure why you wouldn't "trust it".....as it gives all us non-MDK owners ability to run something else than just stock.

Exactly, I've been hammering away on Safestrap since my RAZR and it's really safe just like the name implies. Granted I could flash AOSP on the razr, but my guess is at some point kexec will come around for the S4 as well. Too many really smart people working on that project for it to fail in my opinion.
Anyways.... For now Safestrap is awesome, and happy to have it.

Not another "when will we get root" thread........
You will get it, when you get it.
But then, you may never get it.........
Why do people take the OTA then wonder about root.
If it's that important, be patient.......
I agree. What's the rush to update only to be stuck? We live in an instant gratification society anymore. Wait to update. There is nothing of significance in the update that you need it right away.
Verizon is really trying to clamp down on tethering. Foxfire is broke in the update... The most Verizon app requests root privileges to track tethering on unlimited plans. Stay away from updates until those in the know give you the go ahead.

right so why wait? Why not Downgrade to MK2 then flash any system img capable of MK2 install safestrap then re-upgrade the right way? Look under the development section we have a 20+ page spread on how to do it properly. This will give you root and access to a butt load of new 4.4.2 ROMs. It will also give you root you'll just have to deal with this method for time being i doubt it will change anytime soon. It works fine if you havent upgraded yet put on the breaks and do not upgrade your bootloaders. All you really need to upgrade is your AP and CP with hlos. Then switching between 4.4 and 4.3 is cake. Right now I've got 4.4.2 Custom ROM on my stock slot and a 4.3 gDux 1.1 on 1st slot and an AOSP ROM on my 2nd slot. Ive got a variety literally goes 4.4.2 to 4.3 to 4.2.2 AOSP and I couldnt be happier in terms of what I can throw on an use with my phone.
Actually Firefox just updated and now works on 4.4.2
