[Q] Putting a Custom ROM on Phone - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I need some help I used to have my phone rooted then I got an update to 4.3 since this update I have not been able to get root back on my phone. It seems that KNOX is blocking this process. Instead I tried to simply put a ROM on using ADB. I cannot figure out what is going on when I tried to transfer the file it said "Signature Verification Failed" I have reset my phone. I turned on everything necessary in developer options. I have uninstalled all my phone drivers and kies completely then re-installed.
I have watched Tutorial video after tutorial video and I cannot figure it out. If someone can help me I would GREATLY appreciate it.

Not exactly sure I had supersu on my phone and it just talked about disabling knox then fails to disable.
Is it possible to get the USB drivers without samsung kies?

So I cannot post on that thread, but I did revisit it and reset my phone and went through the instructions carefully.(this time on a different computer) I actually managed to disable knox and get SuperSU back on my phone. It still says the binary needs to be updated and when I click continue, then click normal since I do not have a custom recovery. It attempts to install, but then I get the message- Installation failed Please reboot and try again. So I tried to reboot my phone a few times to see if it would work and no luck. Any ideas?
EDIT: I also tried to install SuperSU update using my sdcard and still no luck. Signature verification problem.

Questions about Unlocking or Recovering from a Soft Brick? LOOK HERE BEFORE POSTING!!

I felt the need to create a thread explaining things a bit better. Lets get started shall we!!
1) As most folks know the I605 Galaxy Note 2 shipped with a locked bootloader. This means you Can Not flash any custom roms/kernels/ or recoveries until you unlock the bootloader!! Failure to comply will result in a yellow triangle stating "unsupported software detected"!
2) If you flashed custom software on your device without unlocking, please refer to Section 1B of my GUIDE in development section. This will bring your device back up and running in stock condition!!
3) Now you can proceed to Adams latest "Jailbreak" thread for for rooting/unlocking/flashing a custom recovery. Make sure to only use the method that applies to the firmware/bootloader version that was previously on your device.
VRAMC3 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272066
VRALL4 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118348
VRALJB- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2043636 (Unless you purchased this device within the first month of release, and never accepted a OTA, Do Not use this link).
4) And last of all, folks never accept any OTA's!! There is no reason to!! Now that your device has been rooted, unlocked, and running twrp recovery, you can now download any latest update.zip from the dev section and flash in recovery. The Devs here are always fast at packaging up the OTA into a zip format so we can update via cwm or twrp recovery. There are a couple reasons why I prefer this method,
1. Future OTA updates may relock the device permanently! There is no gurantee a unlock method will be achieved for the next OTA.
2. .Zip roms are normally smaller, so they take less time to download and imo are easier to install.
3. OTA's can sometimes fail and soft brick the device.
So please read through this thread thoroughly and remember research twice, flash once! Hopefully this helps...:good:
**Also Note the VRUEMJ9 4.3 OTA update locked the bootloader and there is no current unlock method**

Error while using Casual R311b
Noob here. Just got my Note II, on VRALL4
I am trying to unlock using the Adam's instructions to the letter (and viewing the instructional video), but I keep getting
ERROR: Protocol initialisation failed!Your device should be rebooting into Android now.
The phone stays in download mode and never reboots back into Android. I've tried different USB ports, installed the drivers from Samsung Kies (I uninstalled the Kies software after getting the drivers). Tried searching through the instructional thread, but couldn't find any concrete answers. Not sure what to try next.

The only way to get my phone to boot back into Android is to disconnect the USB cable, pull the battery, and boot it. After removing the USB cable, Casual still shows "DEVICE CONNECTED".

No, I don't believe this newest Casual uses Odin. It's just a(n almost) one-click solution. No checkboxes (see initial post in this thread for a link to the thread containing the new Casual).
Is there another way to root/unlock VRALL4? I'd be happy to try out more complex methods, as this doesn't seem to be working.

stuck on yellow triangle stating firmware problems
Hi all..i recently tried to unlock the bootloader however did not know the file i used was not compatible with the latest OTA. When using ODin the phone fails at the sboot.bin...now i can still get into the ODin menu but thats it. Ive been reading several threads and the only solution Ive seen was that the device would get its data wiped. However I have many sentimental things on the device, would there be a way for me to recover all that data. I thought I had backed all files onto my sd card but not all the files got transferred. Any help or tips would be appreciated thank you
try using root66 from section 1a of my guide it does not wipe data.

i got that as well, but only in between loading the kernal and flashing su. I didn't reboot like it asked, i just continued flashing su then let the motochopper script reboot for me, so i'm all good it seems for now.
Thanks so much for the info sextape!!!
edit. nm, it showed up again, but i'm not going to reboot until i have the stock firmware downloaded. I wonder if i freeze SEAndroid, if that would prevent the warning.
As I stated yesterday, I'd be very impressed if we had a working root method by today (when I should be receiving my device this evening). Low and behold, color me impressed. SXTP you are truly a legend good sir! :good:

By "unauthorized software warning" do you mean the little triangle in the notification bar and the message saying "Device detected an application attempting unpermitted access" and asking you to reboot? That is because you have USB debugging checked in developer options. There is another option below that says Verify apps via USB, it's grayed out so I can't uncheck it, BUT if you freeze SEAndroid 1.0 with TiBu the warning goes away.

Odd, I've rebooted a few times and haven't had that happen. I tried rebooting with the warning and it took me to the samsung splash screen with the unlocked padlock and it said "recovery loading" and tried to do a software update. I managed to hit the power button and stop that from happening. Not sure WHAT would have happened if that had completed.

[Q] Root + Custom ROM on mk2 kernel

Just tell me, is this even possible? The only way I know to do it is to use saferoot, but apparently you can't flash roms with it.
I also tried to use the prereleased kernel but when I tried to flash it said FAIL.
Is there any way to root and flash from the mk2 kernel (sch-9545)?

No it's not possible to flash kernels. Your only option is Safestrap. Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2606501
How exactly do you root then?

Root is easily gained...but on mk2 you can't flash custom ROMs...only a few modified stock roms with safestrap...read up there is plenty of info on safe strap available if you just look...unlocked/bypassed bootloader seems like it may come soon but no one knows...only with that will you be able to flash custom roms

Yes, of course - as long as you understand what's compatible with Safestrap. Please spend the time to understand the limitations before you start trying to flash CM or something else that'll permanently void your warranty.

Yes I've already chosen a rom I know works.
Thanks for all your help. One last question though. Can you run two different roms at the same time with safestrap? That's what it seems like.

Yes, if you install the two roms into different slots. But that's obvious if you read the safestrap thread,
You can't run them "at the same time" since you boot stock, or one of the non-stock slots. i.e. multiple installed at once with the ability to choose what's booted.
Omg another problem
When I click install recovery, it loads, finishes, and nothing happens. The reboot option is greyed out and when I reboot manually it just does it normally. Why???

Are you using Safestrap 3.71? What do you get when you click "Install Recovery"?
I get a "Preparing Installation" window that says "Checking busybox", "Running installation script", "Cleaning up" then the "Reboot to recovery" option is enabled. Apparently something isn't going right on the install.
You ARE using a Verizon SCH-i545, correct?
Yes I'm using the i545/mk2 version. I used 3.71 and a few older ones and it didn't work on any of them.
It goes through the same process as it should, but when it's done, it still says "state: not installed". Before I even do it I have the option between install or uninstall, which is weird. Should I record a video?

Check the SuperSU app on your phone. It should be installed already after rooting, but if not, grab it from the Play Store. The root binary may need to be updated.

I looked at the Forum rules and didn't see anything against posting the link, so here it is:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gm2zkk1j5e6jbg4/KingoAndroidROOTv116.exe\
This is the Afterdawn Kingo 1.1.6 installer. It will give you 3 options trying to install AVG as your antivirus. Make sure you uncheck those boxes. After you download the file choose open to install. It's easy to figure out after that. If you need help with it post back.

Ok i got this link from someone earlier, mid rooting it messed up my screen where it will not recognize touch unless i used s-pen. Couldnt find a fix for it, top of the screen worked but bottom portion would not respond to touch. I ended up unrooting and formatting twice and it mysteriously started working normal again.

Sorry to hear that. This is the same file I used. Nothing happened to mine. I did see on the forums someone else say their phone bottom half stopped responding to touch. I believe he said he took the battery out at night and the next morning put it back in and it worked again.

AfterRoot
after it is rooted, will it still have the same build with all the info or will it be a factory default?

[Kernel/Root] Root for the SM-G360T1 5.1.1

Root method for 5.1.1 for the SM-G360T1 THIS WILL TRIP KNOX. If you don't want to trip knox don't use this. If you do use it and whine you tripped knox because you didn't read ,we will all point and laugh at you.
Named it TrapKernel because well its not my normal HispAsian Kernel and I listened to a crap ton of Trap Music while doing it.
Thanks to @g.lewarne and his root method with his Unibase and Unikernel for the s6 , we finally have root after I ported it over to us. So be sure to thank him for his work.
What's included:
Auto installation of root and busy box
Kernel set to permissive
Otherwise stock
So here's the deal. Stupid simple.
Before you do anything, go to settings/about device and tap Build Number til you unlock dev options. Go into dev options and make sure OEM Unlock is checked. Now you can continue.
1. Put Phone in Download mode
2. Open Odin
3. Connect Phone
4. Put Kernel in AP Slot
5.Flash it
6. Reboot and profit
Notes:
Download SuperSu from the Playstore. Its not included.
If at first it doesnt boot, pull the battery and reboot.
Video Tutorial of Installation Thanks to @TheDerekHarper

Do NOT mirror this link. Period.
[FONT="Lucida Sans]links removed. It's outdated by years lol[/URL][/FONT]
[B][FONT="Lucida Sans Unicode"]Special thanks to:
@g.lewarne for the obvious reason of being awesome and his root method for the s6.
@bogarty for testing multiple tests
@Chainfire for SuperSU
[/B][/FONT]​
Heres the kernel source that is set to permissive and will allow root if anyone wants to fork it and build a kernel:
Kernel Source Set to Permissive for the G360T1
Thank you for all your work!!!
