This is the VZW Dev Phone Stock Rooted De-Odex ROM.
Its a dump from the Dev Phone and is made for the Dev phone. But see post #2 ;c)
Features
The ROM is NOT loki'ed!! If you dont understand what that means then dont download it!
This is pretty much an identical base to the Standard phone. I dont believe there is any advantage to this unless you have a Dev Phone!
Stock VZW Dev Phone ROM (I545OYUAMDK)
De-Odex
Zip Aligned
Busybox
init.d
adb as root
Removed: Knox, How to Videos and CD Installer
MD5: CEC076E3025C73543F622AAE6D4127AB
Thanks out to markwebb for the dump!
Download HERE
MOD EDIT: Download link removed with OP's permission.
Hit Thanks! Its free!
Because I know people are going to try and flash this to the standard phone.... I might as well just tell you how ;c)
Flash ROM like Normal, use LokiDoki to flash the protection hack. You can find it here: http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=483
Flash the modules attached.
Once again, these instructions are for people who are going to ignore me and try to flash this to the standard phone.
If you are on a Dev phone just flash and go...
Uploading now....
Be back in a bit... Doing this via remote desktop from work... :angel:
Is this what you will be basing CR 2.0 off of? I have the itch to flash but all the warnings above say not to. 1.6.5 is running solid for me but the itch is there. Damn.....see how your mind loves playing tricks?!?!

Its the same thing as the regular phone but its a newer build by three weeks.
Its just as bloated.
Read post #2 to understand how to flash.
I see that but how would I get back to regular loki if needed

You dont understand how Loki works. It just modifies the boot.img of the ROM file. So your not really changing Loki... Its this ROM was not created with the loki patch.
The patch that I linked to is a file that signs the boot.img with the loki signature tick. The Dev Phones dont need this because they are unlocked.
So if someone wants to run this Dev Phone ROM (which I know they will) they just need to falsh the proper modules (because of a slight difference in radios) then flash the loki patch because it will loki the boot.img which is part of the ROM.
I dont know if that made it more confusing or less... lol
File is up!
If Anyone wants the odex version let me know. I may post if the demand is high enough.

Ok, I guess to answer your question more simplistically...
If you want to go back to "regular" loki you just flash which ever ROM has it.
Now that should clarify it.
I know someone will understand the prio technical info

To be completely honest with you, I didn't see much difference. Of course it's bloated, but I don't think it's much smoother if at all compared to the older base. Just my opinion and findings, ymmv.

In order to help make openyoureyes life a little easier, feel free to discuss your issues with the Bootloader here. Please pledge to the Bootloader unlock bounty to motivated the talented individuals to keep this phone from being locked down. Link is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2359090
I for one have gained so much knowledge and help from this thread, I gladly donated. Also support your Devs that give you the roms that make our phones awesome.
Thread is long overdue...too much crap in the other thread.
Thanks for opening this. I for one am pretty content with my S4 overall..... but only because I'm running darkslide ME7.
I feel terrible for those of you who are unable to run custom roms. The bigger issue here for all of us is what will be coming in the future? Will I buy another Samsung device after this debacle? I'm not sure.
I have been contemplating leaving Verizon for T-Mobile because of this nightmare...
I think the lesson to learn here is to never buy a locked device again, and never buy a flagship phone in its debut...because the company is just going to release a developer edition a month later and give us all the shaft.

I read something on here about "do not flash the latest update" less than 1 minute after starting the update. I actually contemplated doing a battery pull in the middle of it. In the end I just let it ride. Hope I made the right decision.
I wonder how many people that said "I'm willing to lose root, I'm just going to take the update" are now trying to return their phones or *****ing about not having root.

The most I can think of to make this thing work is to somehow change the requirements that this update looks for in recovery, bootloader, etc. But that's up to the devs as i have no knowledge in android developing
How come we dont have a recovery yet? i understand an unlock but isn't a recovery easier to make too? i remember all the other phones i had ( droid 2, razr maxx) The recovery came out right when the root did.

It's to my understanding in order to flash in stock recovery u have to rename the file to update.zip; I understand that it doesnt change the contents of that file but (correct me if I'm wrong) but thats the only way stock recovery will recognize it.

Droid 2 had a bootstrap, if I recall.
Not sure about razr maxx.
Since you need it to boot INTO the recovery, you need to be able to unlock the bootloader and change how it boots up.
Some devices have vulnerabilities with the bootloader that allow it to be bypassed, like a bootstrap etc.

I know there are not alot of us around here, but I know of a few guys that are running a Verizon S4 with A T-Mobile SIM card.
I have been running Verizon ROMS and getting 95% functionality. Service is weird, but works most of the time with a few area's that I have to manually go into gsm mode to keep data. BUT I may have found a work around for all of it.
I am running a the i9505 4.4.2 TW ROM GoldenEye, nothing was changed in the ROM to make it work better with Verizon. I posted a thread to let other people know about it here and it is working for some, and it is failing for others with APN problems, but it was/is 100% working for me with no changes to settings at all. I installed, Loki-Dokied, and booted up to 4G automatically running. I got LTE by changing one word in the APN.
SO I need a couple guys who are running a T-Mobile sim in their i545 to test this method for me and see if I just got really lucky or if we have a winner here.
I will put the how to in the next thread.
***I take no credit for the work on this ROM or the Loki-Doki fix***
**I take no responsibility for you phone becoming a paper weight**
*You preform this at your own risk*
:highfive:
#1 You must be on the MDK boot loader, radio's don't matter but newer radio's seem to have a more stable connection.
#2 Do a Nandroid, you can never be to carful
#3 Do a full clean wipe like your supposed to...
#4 Flash GOLDENEYE VERSION 24 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2427629 (The ROM)
DO NOT REBOOT (you will get an unauthorized boot loop)
#5 Flash http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407577109 (The Loki-Doki)
#6 Reboot and let it sit for 5 or 6 minutes
#7 ????
#8 PROFIT
Report back here with any info or updates you guys have. I have tried a couple other i9505 ROMs with limited success but working together we might find some other ROMs this method works with. Also in the ROM thread iB4STiD has included links to remove a lot of bloat and additional mods.
To get LTE go into your APN settings adn change "epic.T-Mobile.com" to "fast.T-Mobile.com" The data icon wont change to LTE, but I am getting 26 Mbps
Give credit where it is due:
The ROM was created by: iB4STiD
Loki-Doki was created by: TheAxman
Both cool guys who gave me the go ahead to post their work.

If you read the thread for the EagleEye ROM in the OP's second or third post he mentions that the bootloader is not included. That is why I origionaly had it in my OP my lack of sleep and my smoking habits didnt allow the info to sink in right away while I was typing. I was in the process of editing my OP when you posted originally.
ROM's do not include the boot loader. Your bootloader if MDK will stay MDK no matter what ROM you flash.

Roms do not have bootloaders, your phone does. Which was my point. If you have an mdk phone you have an exploitable bootloader. They are not packaged in the rom nor can they be removed from the phone. I just find it interesting that someone posting a ROM for testers ( as well as you, the tester ) doesn't seem understand this....

I am by no means a developer, I am just a dumb ass who stumbled onto something that works for me through trial and error and listening to other dumb asses who tried stuff on their phones, and I was hoping it would work for others. Test it, don't test it, what ever.
To be honest I have no idea what a boot loader is, I know what boot loader I am on and I know that some smart guy exploited it to allow us to replace the software with something some other smart guy came up with. I know that the newer ones haven't been exploited like mine and that's why they can't do as much as MDK guys can. Hell I don't even really know what safestrap does but from my razr days I know it allows people to install different ROMs.
Bottom line, I am just a guy using other peoples work to try to help some other people not "error" as much as I have and enjoy their device a little bit more...

I'm running on TMobile. I actually have been since we first started discussing the 4.4 TW roms on the i545. I've had no issues and didn't have to enter any APN settings.
The ROMs we are flashing, Goldeneye for instance, do not include the bootloader. If we were flashing Samsung images then bootloaders and modems would probably be included, and would probably brick the phone since we'd be flashing incorrect sw. That said, as long as you are on the MDK bootloader, exploited by Loki, and running a custom recovery, then following the steps in the OP should work for you. If you get stuck in a bootloop, it's probably a kernel error. Loki-doki should solve that for you. If not, that's why you have your Nandroid back right

I am going to DL and flash soon as I get off work.
Seems to be working for me...
I am using a t-mobile SIM and am still on MDK. I followed the instructions in the OP, and the phone appears to be working. No other mods, themes, etc. other than the OP. SMS, MMS, Data all appear to work. Speeds seem consistent with LTE, but no way to know.
On initial boot, however, I always get this message: "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped". However, after accepting the message, the phone appears to work normally. It may have something to do with the dark dialer theme that appears to be part of this ROM. I have seen that message before...

Those on MK2 With safe strap and want to get rid of Touch Wiz ( which I do -.-) Get the Illusion ROM for your Galaxy S4 (Verizon). That's all. Except the only bug/s is WiFi doesn't even if you try flashing the MK2 Module's. And those On AT&T, T-Mobile, Straight Talk, NET10... Etc using there Verizon Galaxy S4 will not get Data to work. I have Straight talk and tried everything to get Data to work. I've flashed all Carrier Roms (the AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and U.S. Cellular) together and see if that would help. Nope. But Messaging (just SMS) works and so does calls and Voice Mail (xD)
And if someone could extract this and try making another AOSP ROM that works with MK2 (or SafeStrap) and make CM11/10 to work, that would be excellent!

Possibly
If they could break down this rom and figure out how it works with safestrap we could possibly get all asop roms working:laugh::good:
And if I had a debit card I'd give all my money to the person that breaks it down

If you guys are on 4.2.2, it would make since if it was a gpe rom, as gpe was somehow compatible with 4.2.2 safestrap. If I remember correctly, someone said that the differences between the kernels was negligible and could boot with the tw kernel.
I would say its safe to assume that its actual AOSP seeing that it uses the CM kernel source (or at links to it on the OP), however, there are no accounts in the thread of the rom cook saying that it is AOSP, only other posters.
Haven't tried to download it yet, but I'm going to convince myself that you guys are just pulling a sick April fools prank.

Well so far it's AOSP ROM. It has pure android, the weight of the zip is so light and if. And yes, A Dev did say it wasn't compatible with any AOSP ROM's. But I found a ROM that works! I'll post some screen shots of the AOSP ROM. And if it says AT&T its because I have a Straight Talk Sim Card in it.
So far people are eager with this. If we can get more people's attention we can probably get Hashcode to see what's making this ROM work on AOSP

He he. Funny story... Um.... I tried flashing a CWM Recovery didn't work and it leads me to the Odin Flash screen. All I have is Safestrap 3.71
Is there another possible way?

I believe theres an app that does it.
To anyone wanting to do this, I did it and its not booting into the system. Idk if theres a very special case or what. In recovery it is saying I have the kot49h kernel. Until I boot, Im still assuming its an april fools prank

Well that happened to me as well. It wouldn't boot up to the system so I booted up to the actual Odin Flash and it said Volume Up=Continue and Volume Down=Cancel(Restart) and then I did the Volume down and it got into the system. Well I hope that helps!

Verizon Software Update Assistant on Mac just popped up and started downloading an update. It doesn't say what version but I'm assuming it's KitKat. My internet is only 1mb down right now so it will be awhile before it's finished.

I just updated through Kies. KitKat ftw! Totally unexpected.
Downloading through kies now. Haven't used this before might start using to do a local backup
Pulled it from the software upgrade assistant as well. When I did a manual check on the phone it said was up to date.

Hope you all know there's probly no chance to roll back, better hope safestrap works. Its always best to let devs tear through the update before updating.

This is excellent advise!!!! This is why I will stick with NC2 for awhile.....
If someone can send me aboot, sbl1, rpm, and tz, I will tell you if we can downgrade. It looks like this is NC4.
somebody snag the nc4 modem
Kingo that!

im downloading tar now wioll get u files shortly
ps- why are all u guys updating :/ the chances of ever getting root again on this rom are slim to none unless the bootloader isnt incremented which ishighly unlikely.. look at the s5 13k bounty for just root and its still not out yet..
let me tear through this and provide a safe way to update and keep root
dont take the update.. i will provide a safe way to update and keep root and a way to be able to revert to the old kernel with the insecure modules for when kexec starts working if it cooperates..

Yeah I wasn't going to try, I run ARLiberator and I didnt pay $30 for nothing. Seriously considering the highly advocated leak though now that I have actually taken the time to read through the PSA and thread comments.
I'm kind of a noob though, I don't understand a lot of the intricacies of programming. Am I correct in assuming that if they are able to build a custom kernel with this unprotected firmware, it will be possible to install non TW roms Like CM11 one day?

if the kexec module is perfected it will allow us to 2nd boot a aosp kernel and in turn run aosp roms like cm11,aokp,gummy etc. this is a hard task but having the opportunity to use it is a very good thing
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this the general forums for the Verizon Note 3? Some might just like being informed about the stock update in a thread without it being bombarded with beans rom posts. We do have the posts about this already I believe.

Just waiting on a custom kernel now that we have trwp and my phone is complete hoping dr87 will make a version of simple kernel for the g3
I believe this is just a work around so boot loader is still locked but you can flash roms

1. Yes, this is a true unlock. There is no other unlock mechanism on these phones. This is not a work-around, and calling it as such implies that there is any alternate method to use.
2. As for bricking, unfortunately we can't be held responsible for people that haven't done the legwork to verify that what they're doing is safe. We (Team Codefire) never released any mods for the G3 variants that were not unlocked in an effort to do our side of the responsibility to not make it easy for people to accidentally brick their phones. Now that recovery is released, if the end user does not ensure that TWRP functions on their device and ends up getting it in a state where the stock rom does not boot - this is 100% their problem as we were careful to ensure that all the information an informed user needs to make this work on their phones is out there.
2a. Regarding CrossDL, we actually will have a workaround for that here soon. As long as people don't touch their LAF or Factory partitions we can unbrick them from almost anything short of them editing sbl/rpm/tz partitions (which nobody should ever be doing!)
So are you implying boot loader is unlocked? Because this is similar to Loki like on the g2

This is from the Bumped thread

No, you will not need to ensure your firmware version matches exactly with the ROM you have. You will only need to make sure that the ROM you downloaded is compatible with your carrier.

It's already been started by the devs that roms AND kernels will be able to be flashed as long as they are bump compatible. So yes there will be custom kernels.
As already stated here, and in other threads as well as the official Bump thread by the developers themselves, this has unlocked our bootloader. We are essentially free to flash ROMs, kernels, and other mods (provided they've been Bumped) as if this were a Nexus device. The past couple days have been a fantastic turn of events for our lovely device.
Now, am I the only one constantly checking the development threads hoping for one that has [ROM] in its title? I know we're probably weeks away, but I can't contain myself. I'll gladly donate $50 to the first developer who brings us a fully functional AOSP ROM.

Some devs were given the bump api early so they could get to working on ROM's.
There is a working CM with bugs in the works and should be released probably around the same time the bump api is released.
People are talking something as long as the developer "bumped, bumps" roms and kernels, what does that exactly means?

The roms have to be modified (aka bumped) to work with this method of flashing.

Roms don't have to be modified the boot.IMG has to be bumped so we can flash,cubed has said very simple and will share soon with the Dev so the end user has no worries.
so does anyone have anything to test yet. I am itching. I preordered a note 4 the other day now I am thinking I will be cancelling that

True unlock last time I checked the arthor of that did not have anything to do with it. Idk what makes them think its a workaround.
That's like LG saying thats an LG G3 & and your telling them no it's a fake (clone)
Who are you going to believe
Anyways it don't matter it's unlocked why are you stressing it so much? Lol
