Official CWM now available - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps

Not sure if anyone noticed but I checked ROM manager for recovery update and found Samsung Galaxy S4 At&t. Just did a restore from a prior backup with no issues. About to do a new install to see if it needs loki patching or not.
Update-----Just tried installing a Google Edition ROM and got:
***Error System not authorized by At&t!****
Do not install if you are crack flashing like me until there is a workaround. Might need to flash loki patch zip after flashing ROM.

Were you on a Recovery Manager before that auto-loki'd? If you were.. this probally doesnt auto-loki roms and you have to manually apply loki patches for roms like Google Edition and such to work.

Yes I was on auto Loki prior. CWM is not auto Loki but does work. Figured of post up before someone gets in a bind.

This does not auto loki...so you must use a loki kernel after each rom flash.

This has been around for a good couple of weeks. As of now the only auto loki recovery im aware of is ooduhas (however its spelled ) with other recoveries just flash loki doki zip after each rom flash to loki the kernel

There is also a version called philz touch that has auto Loki as well which I've been using.

Since when does Philz have auto Loki? I have philz and I have to flash Loki doki everytime. The shabbypenguin cwm one does but not philz.

Omg, people will never stop getting confused by this...
What you read in that post refers to the RECOVERY itself being loki-patched so that it is able to be installed on our device. That is NOT, in any way, referring to the recovery having the ability to "auto-loki" kernels that it flashes.

its not auto loki.

[Q] Switching Recoveries.

I have a noob question. I unlocked/rooted my phone using the CASUAL method and it put twrp recovery on there. Is it possible to switch that to clockwork mod that I am more familiar with and if so, how do I do it?
Thanks in advance.
What I've been reading on here twrp works best...

Ah ok. From the 1-2 times I have used it it seemed fairly straight forward. I just know for things like CM10 rom it says install cwmod first then flash the rom. Is it possible to flash cm10 from twrp?

Yes it is. Just use goomanager to update it TWRP to the latest. Also I guess you could just use ROM manager to install CWM, but as stated TWRP seems to be the best for the note

Yep, you can flash it with TWRP, just make sure you are running the latest version.

[ROM] RootBox [Unofficial Nightlies]

Code:
Built from source using [URL="https://github.com/Root-Box"]RootBox Repos[/URL] and [URL="https://github.com/victorator"]My Repos[/URL].
Feel free to use my repo to build your own roms.
Hi Guys!
Since the jflte family of devices is almost exactly the same I thought I would post my I9505 (jflte) Rom here for you as well!
It has been tested by jfltetmo and jfltecan users and is confirmed working!
To install it, just download the I9505 rom and then flash the appropriate device specific package I created.
Download the rom from this thread
Download the appropriate device specific package
Install CWM or TWRP recovery.
Boot into recovery, install ROM, then install the device specific package then install gapps.
Wipe Data/Factory Reset if coming from another Rom.
Reboot and enjoy!
Your device name might show up as I9505. If you are bothered by it you can edit the file /system/build.prop in the rom .zip package before you flash it.
This does not affect the way the rom functions in any way.
Please let me know if you have successfully installed and running this rom on any of the US variants of the S4. I don't own the device!
Donate to Bajee, the creator of this rom
Donate to CyanogenMod
Donate to AOKP

He means to flash it before you ever even try to boot into system.

Yes that usually pops on a loki issue if im not mistaken. So your steps would be to flash the rom, flash your preferred kernel(i personally like the chronic kernel) then flash your gapps package.

Is this thread still alive or what. I grabbed the rootbox stable and nightly version from goo. And I got to say is pretty solid feeling. I can't find a support thread for these releases unfortunately data doesn't work on either build. All the other junk ass aosp builds have data. I would like to achive data or at least find a support thread.
Any ideas suggestions or input is appreciated Thanks

OTA root retention ideas/tests

So far we have voodoo root keeper and supersu pro survival mode. If you try either please post your results.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda premium
This work for the AT&T it might work of you guy as will.You need someone to test it. You need to be on a stock rooted and no custom recovery.
You might whan to try this on MD2 stock rooted.
joeybear23 said:
I was able to update my I337 to the 7/9 release of MF3 and retain root.
1. Install VooDoo OTA Root Keeper, make sure all boxes are checked (may have to reinstall superuser and grant to the app)
2. Reboot, double check VooDoo OTA Root Keeper again has all checked boxes, then tell it to save root
3. Defrost/Enable AT&T Software Update, download it and apply
4. Reboot, Use VooDoo OTA Root Keeper to restore root
5. Profit

I suppose that would be some actual profit. There were some users stating that this method would work for our phone in other threads but most of us don't want to risk it or be without a custom recovery in the first place. But something like this, for me, will be given a shot later on today when my AT&T S4 arrives

For the fun of it I tried VooDoo and SuperSU Pro's feature and TWRP installed but of course it didn't install the update so I'll have to wait until I get home to put the stock recovery back on and try again. Poo.
I'm sure folks have already thought of this but check out the other Galaxy S4 forums like the Sprint one. Maybe certain items are common in the updates and can be flashed on our VZW device.

Maybe factory reset, reinstall voodoo root keeper and try again???? Update should have worked based on the steps you took. I've never heard of an ota not installing because of root.

New to S4. Now what?

So I used to have a fully unlocked Dinc2 and I was able to pick ip this S4. Wow what a major difference. I stopped the auto update while in the store and obtained root. Now what do I need to do to keep root and not have the auto update ever happening again. Also I just put on cwm recovery nothing else. What needs to b done now? Am I able to flash any ROM/kernel here or are there restrictions? Thamks yall for the help. Looking forward to the great development that is gonna happen.

get titanium backup and freeze/backup+uninstall SDM that will keep updates from happening. (only for stock rom, once you install a rom it won't be a problem all roms have SDM disabled by default)
you can now flash any touchwiz rom however unless your cwm is loki'd you can't flash aosp roms (such as cyanogen mod, MIUI, aokp...)
so basically if you are not lokied you can flash only roms on the android development board if you ARE lokied you can flash those AND the ones in the ORIGINAL android development board.

[Q] How to flash a new recovery ROM?

I recently went through the process of trying to update my recovery rom (yes, all rooted up already!).
The problem I was running into was while the tools (TWRP manager, ROM Manager, Goo Manager) all said the recovery was flashed successfully it wasn't.
During the course of my many attempts (which included some hangs, removal of the battery, etc) all of a sudden the updated recovery ROM appeared!
I have no idea what sequence of events resulted in the right behavior, either the tools are not really flashing properly, or there is some black magic (more likely) process which is restoring the recovery ROM.
What's the proper process to change/update your recovery ROM?
Sure yo are rooted but what firmware are you on, unless you're on mdk you can't flash recovery. So if your firmware says me7, mi1, or mj7 you're sol (ull find it under baseband in the about phone setting)

Just tried this process to upgrade to newest CWM recovery 6.0.4.7 (currently on 6.0.4.4). COuldn't update via rom manager (again says it flashed successfully but still running old version).
When I run the install-cwm.cmd script in that loki package, I get a permission denied when it tried to run the loki.sh script on my phone.
Any more ideas??
