PP now supports the S4 and I would like to return the phone back to Verizon original condition. I have a stock rom and I believe with a stock Odin will work without tripping Knox, but how to I flash the lower information that I used Odin to get it on PP to begin with that doesn't change with a rom flash. The person also said that the 4G information is missing and that needs to be re-installed. There probably is a post here, but I have had no luck in finding it.
Thanks,

I am running Hyperdrive, a modified NC5. Changing that isn't really the issue. I had to manually change a bunch of information that the rom flash does not affect.
This is more what I am looking to change back. This is the thread on how to do what I did http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270191

Flash the full wipe nc5 tar file through Odin:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172
According to Viper32 this will not work. The Nam needs to be flashed back and I do not know how to do this.
Is this simply returning the phone to a stock rom and doing a *228 update?
Thanks though

I updated from ME7 to MJ7 with success than I flashed philz recovery with the root tools app and got the message
Secure fail: kernel
" system software not authorized by verizon wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest verizon wireless store for help."
After I managed to boot back into my stock rooted phone and flashed CWM from rom manager and with no luck got the same message.
What do you think I should do? I really don't want to have to Odin back to stock and root with root de la Vegas again.
Discard when upgrading is very dangerous. You may have to Odin back to stock and root de la Vegas again
is your phone originally mdk base and you are loki'd? if not, the ONLY recovery available is safestrap. You will have to ODIN your phone and do some reading

if you took the update, you are screwed with custom recovery except for safestrap
So if I have safestrap I have to have a backup of the stock rom right? Or can I just install a custom rom and get rid of the stock rom?

Read the Safestrap threads. The answers to your questions are complicated, particularly the "get rid of the stock rom" since that's possible but risky.
YOU will need to judge whether or not you will take that risk based on understanding how Safestrap works.

Hi guys, I'm currently running a Hyperdrive RLS10 ROM, but I'm looking into the future with the new KitKat release, and I was interested in trying some of those features when sbreen updates his Hyperdrive ROM. Thing is, I'm a Verizon ME7 user with an MDK phone, and I have no idea how to take advantage of these new features, as from what I read so far, a simple reflash won't work. Can someone tell me exactly what I have to do to get from ME7 to MJ7 and still have my app data and messages? The rest I could reconfigure but I really need to keep the app data.
I've read things about having to ODIN back to stock, and whatnot, but won't that technically kill all the stuff on my phone with no recovery? :/
EDIT: after a bit of looking I'm reading that since I have an MDK phone it's actually fairly valuable for this, but I don't get exactly what for.

Because you can flash ROMs via TWRP.
MDK has the LOKI exploit available with a bootloader that can be bypassed or hijacked.
Look in the ROM area.
You will find what you need.
There are ROMs based on MJ7 4.3 that won't screw up your phone.
You just need TWRP.

Will I need to ODIN or any of that though? And Hyperdrive is at the moment based on 4.3 MJ7 so all I need to do is have TWRP and then I can just flash RLS12 onto my phone like a regular ROM installation?

what recovery do have loaded and how did you flash HD10? You would flash any custom rom the same way. As long as you haven't taken any OTAs or odin'd a higher level firmware you should be good to go
This is a recovery flashable, stock boot.img, pulled from freeza's stock rooted rom, located here. It's completely unchanged from stock, I just made it flashable. After flashing, You may, or may not have to modify your build.prop to set secure storage to "false." See freeza's thread here, for more info on this.
Use this at your own risk, I assume no responsibility.

Numerous, for example, it will allow you to return to the stock kernel, for troubleshooting purposes, if you expect an incompatibility, or issue with a custom kernel, without having to flash an entire stock rooted rom, or downloading an entire rom, just for the boot image.
By the way I want to thank you for this its a blessing we have ppl who do this for us with that said im a noob should I flash this I have the nh7 modem I flashed the nh7 stockish rom then I restored my backup for sacs moar rom
i flashed the baseband/modem and that loaded fine. i then tried to flash the kernel and get stuck in a boot loop even after i tried the file to set to false. what can i be doing wrong?

Can you provide more info. If you were in a bootloop, how did you set the file to false? Did you flash the fix, in freeza's OP? If so, that's likely the problem. That build.prop is for a previous version.
I did flash the fix. How else can I get the new modem flashed without bootlooping? My modem/baseband is NH7. Just can get the NH7 stock kernel on without looping

I'm not sure what the issue is, I haven't run into this yet. To be absolutely clear, are you flashing the wifi/secure storage fix, from freeza's thread?
Yes as I read it would fix the boot loop. I tried without it and had no luck either.

That's the problem. That fix is fo MJ4. Also, what rom are you on? I'm not sure if the NH7 kernel, is compatible with NC5 roms. I know for a fact, NC5 kernels, are incompatible with NH7 roms (no display).
Your best bet is to Odin the NC7 tar, if you want all NC7, or Odin NC7, and restore your TWRP backup, of your previous rom. Your baseband, will be NH7, but your kernel will be whatever was included in your previous/preferred rom.
I'm on sacs rom. My baseband/modem is currently NH7 and have no problems
Im also on sacs rom and nh7 kernel want make it past samsung screen just a heads up keep a updates back up before trying this

Hello everyone,
I'm looking to flash my Verizon S4 i545 for the first time. I have the NK1 Build on it. So far, I've rooted it with towel root and have safestrap 3.75 installed.
From doing my research it seems that having the NK1 build prevents me from flashing some roms such as CM11. All I really want from my s4 (had it since launch) is to have the best performance and battery life possible. I'm not looking to do anything fancy beyond that. From some online reading, it seems Hyperdrive might be the best rom for my needs.
How can I go about installing the Hyperdrive rom? (which version should I look out for considering I have NK1)
What precautions should I take before attempting to install?
What other custom roms can I install onto my S4 NK1 build?
Thank you in advance!
I hace the same thing, and muy SE is enforcing. I dont know if that is important.

Honestly, you should downgrade back to nc5 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172 You won't be able to install any CM or AOSP rom since you're not on mdk. Hyperdrive is a good rom. Echoerom and Eclipse are solid as well. They're also based on nc5 and you'll likely not have too many problems if you downgrade back.
Hi i try ti downgrade to nc5 and did not Work the phone freeze. I try hyperrom i like it but WiFi never Work and have to do a restore and lost root and safestrap, i think i cant go back to nc5

If you use the full wipe nc5, it shouldn't be buggy. It's like having a clean slate. For myself, I've always had better success from nc5 than nk1.

thanks. So would it be an accurate statement that at this point in time, unless someone just wants a stock rooted nk1, there's really no point in rooting an nk1 because you just need to downgrade to nc5 anyway, and then re-root again, in order to flash any custom roms; And you do not need root to downgrade via Odin, correct?

For me it's just preference. Most roms are nc5 based. There are modules and fixes out for those on nk1, but for me, I have always had issues with it. Downgrading to nc5 eliminated the problems. You still need to flash modules and wifi fixes, but I find it to be far more stable. No, you don't need to be rooted to use Odin. If you do plan on downgrading, I would suggest the full wipe. Some have experienced issues with the non wipe. Hope all this helps.

You can use SuperNexus ROM. It works with safestrap. You can also use Kitpop ROM.

Sorry there is no way to go back. Once you upgrade to NC5 ( KitKat ) and beyond with KNOX as part of the OS. At this point on one has figured out how to go back to MJ4 and reset the KNOX counter. You can down grade from OC5 to ( NC5,NH7,and NK4 ) without to much trouble. Usually the device will bootloop on the first odin flash back when downgrade but just pull the battery and go to download mode and flash it again. Usually boots on the second flash of a down graded OS. I have post here somewhere on how to do it, will try to find it and post here. You can check out more info by clicking my signature.
You can read through this post to, will show you how to go back to ( NC5,NH7,and NK4 ) http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/help/4-4-4-download-mode-t2877528 tells how to get around the bootloops.
