Very new to root on vzw s4 mdk w/ twrp - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I recently bought my rooted s4 mdk, came with Hyperdrive v10.2 rom. I done some tweaking from within the rom: font,center clock,icon changer ect.. . I've done a little modification such as getting dark dialer & sms, dark horse inverted g: mail,store,music. I did try flashing modem (to nc2 only to have slight heart attack seeing baseband not on mdk) then flash back to mdk. Only after reading thru the whole thread(vzw s4 forums) and flashing the zips that other Mdk users verified working.
I've read how lucky I am to be on mdk with twrp. Also seen post where people mentioning bricking there mdk, but didn't say how they did it.
I want to learn about what I can and can't do.
Like:
is there other compatible roms from other device makers : htc, moto that work on the s4 ? Understanding kernels , how to remove the ringtones from in the system (I tried delete -says deleted but it doesn't . General system knowledge. I guess in other words an Experienced person to take me under there wing and help guide me .
So coming from a unrooted thunderbolt (I would like to root the TB cuz I use it for home phone using viop app) I'm really liking being rooted with the no ads, wifi hotspot ect... and having the unlimited data plan I had to buy out of contract to upgrade. I'm glad I did some reading here to make sure I got unlocked bootloader model so it took me a few times and weeks to get winning bid. Which is okay but yesterday I came across swappa in forum rules and think my next phone shall come from there .

Well a couple tips... Grab Flashify from play store and update your TWRP. There's an easy option to update your recovery and it'll flash it for you.
As far as everything else...
Just look for Roms that are specifically for Jfltevzw or JFLTE.
Kernels will be the same.
You can look in our Verizon Android Development and Original development. Also you can look in other carriers forums like TMobile or Sprint for Roms.
Aosp Roms give you more freedom when looking in other carriers threads since they are all mostly unified now and under the name JFLTE.
Tw Roms you may need compatibility packs if your flashing ones from other carriers or the i9505 S4.

Under the Flash section simply choose recovery and then have it download either TWRP or CWM and it'll flash an updated one for you. Always good to update your recovery

Touch Screen Unresponsive

I just flashed my evo 3d to MIUI current build. Install went successfully, however, once it boots I can not get the touch screen to do anything. It brings me to the unlock page, telling me to slide to unlock but unable to do so. Any help on this matter would be much appreciated. Not sure yet if it's just the rom or something went wrong in my unlocking. I used HTCDev Unlocker.

I don't see the download link?
lol, u really should have posted in miui forum, but i would reccommend using adb to reboot to recovery and either reflash or flash back to the nandroid u made before flashing to miui.
This has been answered several times in the miui thread. Plus why start a thread for this??
Anyway, it's because you have to flash the kernel associated with the rom through fastboot.

Ask this in the miui thread and/or forum. Or anything put in different section. This is android devolopment. No need to make a thread here at all. Not being a ****, jusy sayn, this happened like 5 times this week. People should know, common sense.

Having used htcs method to root you can't flash a kernel in the recovery, only through fastboot like I said before. That's your issue.

Updating from VRUAME7

This may be an extremely stupid question but I've been browsing around and can't seem to find an answer...I currently have VRUAME7 build, and seems as most ROMs have stopped pushing updates for the safestrap / this build.
I'm having some issues on my ROM, screen locks and won't wake up. So I figured, will have to update my version to one of the supported.
Is the only way to do this to go back to stock ROM, unroot, download and then root again? Or is there any sort of tutorial for this out there? I've searched all over and haven't been able to find out anything about this.

Well the easiest way to do that would be to use the no wipe Odin tar of me7 then take the otas up through mj7 or mk2. Once your on one of those builds you can use Safe Root to gain root again and then install SafeStrap 3.7x.
I'll see if I can find the links for you...

Again... I'd just use the me7 no wipe to get you to the point where your s4 will accept an OTA. Then allow your phone to take those updates ...there is 3 otas you'd take to get to the latest mk2. Then you can root.. install SafeStrap and your good.
Your phone MAY be able to take OTA right now if u uninstalled SafeStrap...unrooted ...put any bloat you may have removed back on.. and removed xposed. But its easier to just use the method I said earlier if u ask me

Also look here for videos on how to do things if you needed. I assume you know that you cannot have a custom recovery that allows for aosp ROMs like CyanogenMod. Only SafeStrap.

[Q] I have ME7 rooted, want to OTA to MK2 and reroot

Hello everyone, thanks for everyone's hard work. The s4 is my first smartphone and root. I used the exploit on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380325 without issue.
I'd like to update before 4.4 is pushed, since it doesn't seem rootable yet. I've read over the saferoot thread and it appears pretty straightforward.
My question is, what should I do to prepare my phone for the update and root to go smoothly? I know I have to unfreeze the update app and the bloat. I will do a full backup in titanium. Do I have to remove things like adaway and greenify? I made maps a system app in titanium to properly greenify it, do I need to revert that?
Thanks for any help!
When will the new OTA be pushed? I wanna root but I'm on MK2. Is there a way to flash any boot loader yet for mk2 or any version?

Don't EVER take an OTA. I got me S4 before the Nazi's locked the boot loader. I wont take an OTA. You can flash modems, ROM's and kernels separately so there is no reason to take the OTA and reroot. Just flash a ROM. You may have to wait an extra week or so to get the latest version, but that's better than ending up with a locked boot loader.

I knew the Nazis had something to do with it.. The locked bootloaders have creepy little black mustache written all over them.

Thanks for the replies. In this case I appear to be more knowledgeable. My phone came with ME7, which means it already has a locked bootloader. I cannot flash custom roms, aside from using maybe safestrap. Given that I'm not interested in running that, my only option for android updates and Samsung app updates is to do an ota.
I'd really like to avoid bricking my phone, as I haven't had much luck searching this topic. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

You're easiest option will probably be backing up with titanium, using Odin to flash the newest update you're wanting, then root with saferoot and restore your backup. You won't have to worry about unfreezing anything or removing root. Everything you need is in the development section. There is also a guide in I believe the general section on the dos and don'ts of your phone and what to expect.
Hit thanks if I helped you out. Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk.
Thanks hexitnow. Silly me, I figured my answers would be in the q&a section, not the general one. I had also dismissed odin as useless as I couldn't flag anything custom, now that I researched it I see it can be used to flash a standard update as well. I have located a download for the mk2 update at androidromupdate which I will give a try later. I was going to ask in the development section, but I didn't have enough posts. Guess that's a good thing, keep suckers like me or until we know what we're doing. Thanks again.

Stuck at Samsung Boot Screen after wiping Internal Storage

Device: Rooted Verizon Galaxy S4 (MDK).
1. Wiped/Formatted internal storage via TWRP
2. Rebooted back into Recovery
3. Flashed new ROM
4. Flashed GAPPS
5. Rebooted phone and setup new ROM.
6. Worked great.
7. Rebooted phone
8. Stuck on Samsung Custom Screen
I'm able to boot back into recovery, just not sure what to do now. This happens every time no matter what ROM I flash. I have a feeling I effed something up by wiping internal storage. Just need to know how to fix. Thank you very much in advance.

No Odin is for all our S4's no matter what build. Here are the MDK files http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2289325
I'd say first though to update your recovery. Then I always use KToonsez Kernel myself with every ROM I run and can say I've never had an issue . I have seen a lot of problems like yours that were kernel related and one way to test that would be to flash his kernel ( KToonsez ) after the ROM you've already tried before.

You will be hard pressed to find anyone working for that device. Dens don't work on knock off devices. If you have an unlocked bootloader then grab the kernel source and make one.

No what I mean is that it is a copy of another device. It is just a rebranded Chinese based device. That is what I mean.
Boost is known for using rebranded knock off devices. Most of the time they don't even use any for of official software. It's normal some unknown, unheard of Android version.
