[Q] Able to flash ViPER4Android? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I was just wondering if I would be able to flash ViPER4Android on the stock Rom slot using Safestrap 3.75 A03
Just checking because I'm about 75% sure you can't flash zip files to the stock slot in safestrap
Better be safe than sorry
I'm running NC5 if that makes a difference
Thanks in advanced!

As long as you have root, you should be able to install it, you don't have to flash any zip files.

Thanks for the reply, I don't know why I didn't check that first. Should do more research next time.
Thanks again!

[Q] Jellybean ROM

I am about to install the Jellybean rom and have a quick question. When reading the install instructions, it states that Loki recovery must be installed. I rooted the phone and have Odin installed. Will this be sufficient or will this cause a conflict?
Thanks

Did you install a custom recovery like cwm or twrp?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
It must have been done when I rooted with Odin as it is there. (TeamWin). I have the ROM flashed, just not sure why all of the bloat is still present. Guessing Bean didn't create a "theme" as of yet.

I dont think beans removes a lot of bloat. If you want basically bloat free try clean rom. :thumbup:

I might give this a shot in a little while (need to charge the battery on my phone first).
I was wondering though does this rom trip the binary flash counter?

Negative. It does not trip it and you can always go back to VRUAMDK, etc.. etc..
Ok, thanks for the info.
I am going to transfer the rom to my SD card and make a backup of what I have first. Thanks for the work on the ME7 flashable update

Does it hurt anything to double flash a modem? I have already updated. (At one time it was bad juju to double flash an HTC radio.)

Can confirm also it doesn't hurt at all. I was using the new ME7 modem.bin under the MDK firmware.
Also I just got done flashing the rom and it looks like all worked perfectly. Just need to restore a bunch of applications and stuff (using nandroid backup pro to get that done)

Does this update the camera firmware like the ota does? I'm wondering how you kept wifi and camera working.... Or is it still the old camera firmware. I don't need a detailed replay but I am very curious.

Quick question...

So i just got my s4 yesterday. I installed safe strap and put on the Hyperdrive rom. I want to try out the google 4.4 rom. So from my understand I just follow the video I saw on another thread to get goo manager and put loki on correct? I use that recovery to wipe and flash the rom? Then I can delete the rom slot i made for hyperdrive on safe strap correct?

There's a decent list of SafeStrap Roms but they're only Touchwiz. I know that's a bummer for some. Gigilie is porting over so many more almost daily too.
Stock 4.4.2 isn't that much different from 4.3 I can tell you that cuz I have a sprint one on that. I hear ya though on just wanting the latest and greatest.

Try to avoid it because it will most likely have roll-back protection and also there isn't any root as of this moment.

Will this be like the official verizon release? How far you guys think the official OTA is now?

Interesting. It will be nice to be on 4.4 and use of the apps that only work with that version (or work better with it).

Yeaahhh baby!!! It's about damn time Verizon gives us something.
I definitely won't be flashing this, it isn't worth losing root for the changes in 4.4, it really isn't that much of an upgrade.

It's possible to get a pre-rooted system.img with SS, install it, immediately reboot into download mode, install boot.img (kernel and ramdisk), modem, bootloader images, etc... then reboot. S4 guys did it. It's completely feasible for us. I can provide instructions for you to do this, but it may be somewhat verbose.
If we as a community are interested in seeing further leaks, I'd advise against uploading any mirrors of these files. The uploader has requested exclusivity. This seems like a fair trade-off to me.
Hey guys
Please please please
For the sake of development.....do not mirror this file at all. The individual responsible for the file does not want any mirrors uploaded.
Thanks for understanding.

I thought we can only install roms with Safestrap. Not even a kernal. How can this be accomplished through SS. Just curious, I'm not a developer.

Convert system.img.ext4 to img, extract contents, apply su/ss, create TWRP zip, safestrap to system, reboot into download mode, flash everything else using Heimdall except original system.img.ext4 since it's not rooted.

You also need files from cache.img.ext4 that ultimately end up in /system.

How I downgraded from NC5 OTA to MK2 and back to Rooted NC5!!!

Sorry information deleted. Please see other threads
Your link has been shut down by drop box for too much traffic. Can you use androidfilehost.com?
I tried last night after the link got blocked the first time. I couldn't figure out androidfilehost. I think it's a daily thing with Dropbox so maybe try it tomorrow. Or maybe someone else can figure out how to host them elsewhere.

You can use Surges files from his thread to do the same thing. The directions are there too. I did not use the PIT file. Whenever I did that I got bad errors.

Yea to be honest I am a little confused on what exactly I need to do to downgrade and then also with safestrap. I currently have an s5 but most likely I'm returning it because my friend gave me an s4. I've been reading up getting ready to root and everything but it seems there are different methods for downgrading so not sure what my best bet is...all I know is I am currently on NC5. From my understanding I have to downgrade..root..then go back to NC5 pre rooted and start with safestrap (however that's done) lol...I came from an s3 with an unlocked bootloader so this is all new to me ..any help would be appreciated
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Free mobile app
Just start out and download the downgrade file. If you need Odin I can upload that as well. Then you just put your phone in download mode. And put the downgrade file in the ap slot and click start. It will fail reboot the phone and then use the downgrade system file in the ap slot and it will complete. Then reboot the phone into recovery mode and wipe the cache and do a factory reset data wipe and you should now be on 4.3
