Installation Instructions:
Make sure you install the right version for your phone. Go to settings| More| About device. Look at build number. Match that with the zip. If you are odexed flash odex and vice versa. If you aren't sure use a root file explorer and check in system/app. If you see .odex files you are odexed. If not you are deodexed.

Adding Hotspot Toggle
Below is a tutorial on how to add the WiFiHotspot button to the notification panel using the free sqlite Database Editor

sqlite Database Editor Instructions
How To Add WiFiHotspot To The Notification Panel
Missing Hotspot Option In Settings
Those of you that have the Hotspot option missing in settings, use the instructions for adding the toggle. Only this time you are going to choose the secure table instead of system. Select * for everything or chameleon_tethereddata. If the value for chameleon_tethereddata is not 3 change it to 3. Reboot the phone and see if Hotspot is showing up now in settings.
If you can't edit the database on 4.3
If you can't edit the database on 4.3 download, install and run the TB Restore Fixer from playstore.

Man I'm glad to have you on same phone as mine.
Now I don't have to wait for all the goodies you can make.
You were really missed in GS3.
I know as a dev, you know exactly what to do with these files & any prerequisites, but if you could give us slightly less informed on how to manage flashing these, that would be appreciated.
General instructions are in the OP now.

4G works on odexed version. I installed via zip (not adb). Thank you very much.
Using WiFi Tether seems to break HotSpot until a reboot. AP is created but no internet passthrough.
Is there another method of flashing this? I seem to remember a way of getting into another mode other than recovery where you could flash something via cmd? Does that apply here? After reading the current state of some of the recoveries, I'm not ready to flash them yet.
I have put up an alternate install method in post 2 until we get a fully working CWM.

The CWM is fine for the purpose of flashing zipfiles like the modded HotSpot. It won't mess up your phone, and you can always flash the newer stable version when it comes out (or TWRP).
The 2nd post details the steps that you're probably referring to.

This seems strange....
So I used ODIN to push the CWM recovery, rebooted into revocery then installed the hotspotmod.
Then rebooted.
I cant find the hotspot menu anywhere... an I missing something?

that sounds familiar. the hotspot menu installs with the sprint apps once you activate.
Thank you,
Sorry for the rookie move, wont happen again!
Surprised by the lack of activity in this thread, as this is a huge bonus to have so soon, I guess I will drop in my input of my experience. First, of the two recoveries that are public, TWRP did not load properly for me (redraw issue as others have reported) so I used CWM. This recovery has a little issue not showing visual responses to every other navigation button press, but no big deal if you are aware of it. All functions work (backups, wipes, flashing of zips).
Since I originally rooted my device with the motochopper root method, I flashed CWM and installed the Odex zip. After a reboot, I had success with the hotspot, but my S4 seemed to run abnormally hot (hit 40C when normally well under 30C)...the warming of the device was independent of running the hotspot, as I only tested the hotspot for about 3 minutes. With no other assumption as to why, I decided that, due to the release of the Deodexed zip, I would move over to a clean install that version, as I intended to do eventually anyway.
After a full wipe and install of the Deodexed ROM zip, restoration of my Google accounts and apps via Titanium Backup, I installed the Deodexed hotspot hack and it works swimmingly as well.
All in all, both Odex and Deodex versions have been tested on my end with both the stock system after motochopper and the Deodexed zip. My random heating issue was possibly unrelated as I have not heard of anyone else with the issue...if someone has experienced this, please add it into the thread.

Stock rooted ota 4.08.605.19 710RD rom. It is rooted, zip aligned, has busybox and comes in odexed or deodexed versions. Other than that it is untouched. Enjoy
[standard flashing disclaimer here]
Do a full wipe (boot, system, data, datadata, cache, android secure) except for sdcard and emmc, then flash like any other rom.
Stock rooted ota 4.08.605.19 rom may be able to be flashed over Stock rooted ota 4.08.605.15 rom, but is untested. If you flash over and have issues, do a full wipe and fresh install.

I pulled out my old Incredible to see if I could breathe some new life into it and updated it to TWRP 2.4.1.0 and made a NANdroid backup of my old ROM. Went to go install it and get the Status 2 error, so I put in a newer update-binary. Not a big deal. I go to flash it again, and I get the Status 7 error, meaning I need to update to a newer version of my recovery. Not possible! So I re-flashed recovery and tried again. No dice. I can still restore my backup, so it's still alive right now. I'm curious to know if anyone else is experiencing this. Does anyone have any ideas?

Your zip works now. What was the problem?
Also, I've always been able to edit ROM zips and delete and add apks without any issue, but I can't now with this one. It keeps giving me the status 7 error about 80% through the install when all I do is delete some Verizon bloat from the zip file. Your zip is fine, it's just when I modify it that it's giving me a problem. I'm not using the MD5 file, so it shouldn't affect anything. Also, I don't think it should let me get 80% done with the install before it breaks only because of some deleted files.

Had to update the update-binary, and edit the mount commands in the updater-script.
Deleteing apps from /system/app in the rom zip should not affect the zip in any way. Are you just deleting them from within 7zip, or are you unziping, deleting, and then rezipping it?
Status 7 usually reffers to an error in the updater-script. Since it stoped about 80% thru, about 80% thru the updater-script is where the issue is.

Thanks so much =), honestly I am surprised updates are still being released. I really need to get to a Verizon store and snag the 4G version but I've been traveling a lot so my Blackberry has been getting a workout thanks to the international SIM support. Regardless I still use my Dinc for Google Auth (2-pass auth FTW!) and other activities everywhere (in network or not).

Yeah I plan on it. Attached the gz.
Pulling source now to run a diff and see what has changed in kernel beyond the obvious.
Be interested to see if they left that in the defconfig since they know someone will probably flip it back.
anyone check to see if kies would update em? would be a nice thing to have the tar for it as well
Just to confirm the obvious rooting did not work.
Installing the stock MDC kernel allows rooting.
if you dont mind, have mdl kernel installed, flash cwm/twrp. boot into recovery and dd the kernel. i wish to compare ramdisks
Well, that diff was actually productive.
They have made the change in the common defconfig for all i9505 variants.
So expect this to be coming to the rest of them soon.
Looks like on the kernel side a majority of the changes are to 3 files:
firmware/ssp_rev03.fw.ihex
firmware/tsp_synaptics/synaptics_b0_5_1.fw.ihex
firmware/tsp_synaptics/synaptics_b0_5_1_fac.fw.ihex
Beyond those 3, many of the changes pertain to ATT and EUR variants.
Attaching a zip of the diff file for reference as I'll be spreading the word.
Guess I'll get with Agat to make an MDL kernel with that flipped off...
*Update 2* As Shabby mentioned, only Tmo and Sprint have seen this so far... so AT&T results can be ignored.

I haven't looked at the at&t threads but I would say they are wrong. You can install root but the kernel kills it. So it won't run. I have tried all three methods of install and it doesn't work.
1. Installing custom recovery and flashing supersu
2. Oding CFAutoRoot
3. Moto

Thanks to Calkulin for use of the install script. Thanks to Chainfire for SuperSU. Thanks to dsixda for the Kitchen. Thanks to shabbypenguin for the custom MDL kernel. Thanks to romracer for the Deodexed Wallet fix.
Flash this to get Deodexed/Odexed stock MDL with latest root (SuperSU), su binary and Busybox 1.20.2. These Do Not include a kernel or any other firmware.
All of the zips wipe cache and dalvik for you so no need to do that separately.
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. You do this at your own risk.
As with everything I release, you are welcome to use this any way you need. Just remember where it came from:good:
There is a version for no data wipe and data wipe. Make sure you don't get them mixed up. The data wipe versions do not delete the /data/media folder.
The Rom has been updated with the new SuperSU and the fixed Deodexed Google Wallet. Removed the Nagfix and custom kernel links as they are no longer needed. Also no need to freeze seandroid or delete Knox.
Currently, the only way to install the modem is by using the OTA zip
Custom kernels will still give you a nag. A kernel dev will have to fix that. For now freeze seandroid.

I'm going to write a script to decompile everything and then run a full compare on the code... to find out what's actually changed...

The only two I have broken down are services and android.policy and both of those changed.

It makes sense that those have changed, I would expect the much of the framework to change, but more than half of the apk files have changed, but yet on the few I've checked, they have the same identical code.
Ok nag fix is posted in the OP. I have broken my wifi and sdcard. It is 1:22am and it has been a long day. I am going to bed and will pick this up again in the morning. If anyone knows how to decompile the two files in the fix so we can try and find the difference that would be great.

Long and tedious trial and error I knew something in the system was causing it because I could flash between MDC and MDL and it always came up on MDL. So first I found all of the file changes. I ruled out apk and framework. Then I began copying MDC over a few at a time until I could get it to go away. Then I kept going until I found which two were throwing it. I restored back and replaced those two again to make sure it went away.

Hello to you guys,
with this thread I wanna help people who get a Live Demo Unit of Galaxy S5 and wanna "unlock" it, removing Retail Mode and getting an official firmware on it. A Live Demo Unit is recognizable cause the phone has an "X" after the "SM-G900" signature.
Before start explain, I wanna remember to all that with a Live Demo Unit YOU CAN'T DO PHONE CALLS or TEXT MESSAGING due to its nature. So, this custom friwmare will transform your Live Demo Unit in a beautiful and complete Galaxy S5 "WiFi Version" .
Ok, lets do this!
What you need for a great job is:
Samsung USB Drivers on your PC
Odin, downloadable from here http://odindownload.com/ (vers. 3.09)
TWRP Recovery, .tar extension (here is the link for the download http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/klte)
Firwmare of your country. You can get it form sammobile.com. I've done this with the G900F version and I've tested only with it but I think this kind of guide works for all devices. Be sure to download the correct Firmware of your device!!
A program named "cgywin" for create your own firmware for the Live Demo Unit http://cygwin.com/setup.exe
Do this AT YOUR OWN RISK!! If you're not sure to have understand something, please do not go any further.
Ok, so let's start to explain what to do. If you'll follow step by step this procedure, you'll reach the goal for sure
First, I think is better to do a good and complete backup of your actual firmware and system. To do that follow those steps:
Install Samsung USB driver in your PC (if you don't have it already). Be sure that the phone is visible by your PC.
Turn off the device and go into Download mode (pressing VolDown+Home+Power).
Open Odin and connect your device to the PC.
Now flash the TWRP Recovery (select "AP" voice on Odin and choose TWRP .tar file you have already downloaded)
Ok, now you can do a Nandroid backup of your entire phone, including system, with Recovery. So, turn off the device and go into Recovery, then choose "Backup" and flag ALL the voices (so you'll be sure to backup all). Save it in external MicroSD so you can get it simply if you need it.
After the complete backup, it's time to "prepare" the custom firmware:
Install cgywin (for a complete guide for How To Install this program, Google it)
Download the right firmware for your device
Once file is downloaded you will have something looking like this G900FXXU1ANCE_G900FITV1ANC7_ITV (this is the one I've used)
Extract the .zip file to get an .md5
Rename it with like ldu900x.tar
Go into the folder were you've install cgywin and put the ldu900x.tar here
Now, launch cgywin.exe and type those command
$ tar --delete --file=ldu900x.tar NON-HLOS.bin
$ tar --delete --file=ldu900x.tar modem.bin
After that, the ldu900x should have only those files on it:
- boot.img
- cache.img.ext4
- hidden.img.ext4
- recovery.img
- system.img.ext4
If there are other files that are not those I've checked above, please delete them using the command $ tar --delete --file=samrom.tar FileName on cgywin as explained. The final .tar file gotta have only those 5 files I've listed above.
Once the final ldu900x.tar is ready, you can flash it with Odin.
Before the flash, use TWRP for a TOTAL WIPE of the device (including system but do not wipe the extSDcard). This is for to be sure that the device will be ready for a good and clear flash.
After the flash with Odin, reflash the TWRP Recovery (following the steps above) so you can do other backup or restore the old firmware if you need it.
Hope this guide can help all the guys who need to use their LDU completely (excluding calls and SMS as said). Personally my LDU doesn't have Private Mode, Finger Scanner, S-Health, UltraPowerSavingMode and other stuff, but with this "custom" firmware made by myself, now works ALL! :victory:
Bugs: The only thing that does not work here is the upgrading of SHealth Services that does not allow to upgrade it to SHealth 3.1 version. If anyone know how to solve this I appreciate
Thank you guys for your support and thanks to:
@Dees_Troy for TWRP
@Sirus2012 for have opened the way
@jopa7 for suggestions
Fell free to offer me a beer (or a meat can for my 5 cats )
Have a good flash to all!

You can install a superpower rom, mate. Install omega with omega kernel after root with chain CF auto root and install TRWP. Install latest omega zip via trwp chosing omega kernel too. You will get 37000 antutu score or more . By the way, GPS signal works

hello
thankyou for the precompiled files, i am a boot, i dont know what to do exactly, where i have to add the ldu900x.tar in odin? BL, AP,CP or CSC?
**You can begin the following process from any Build but you must already have Root Access**
**Required** [root] FlashFire
Download:
- G930T_PG1_Stock_DeOdexed_Debloated_ROM.zip
1. Place the ROM onto your device (use either internal or ext-sdcard).
2. Open the FlashFire app, grant root access, and "Agree" to the Terms and Conditions.
3. Press "(+)" twice to bring up the "Actions" menu.
4. Press "Flash Zip or OTA" and locate and select the ROM. Use the default settings under the "Options" menu and press the checkmark to continue.
5. From the main menu Uncheck all options under "EverRoot" and set "Reboot" to "Download."
6. Press the lightning bolt then "Ok" to begin the flash . The screen will turn black then display the contents of your system before beginning the flash. FlashFire will pause for about 1 minute while flashing the "system" partition.
7. Once the flash is complete and the device reboots into "Download" mode, flash the G930T_PG1_Stock_Modem_Recovery_Bootloader.tar.md5 using Odin's AP slot. The device will take 10 - 15 mins for the first boot!
8. To regain root access, re-run "root.bat" once the device has fully rebooted. Make certain usb debugging is enabled. Enjoy!
Tip: for blazing fast speed turn off animations from Developer Options and reboot!
Notes:
1. The above process will not affect your Knox Warranty Flag.
2. The above process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Bootloader, and Stock Recovery.
3. The ROM will automatically wipe all User Data!
4. Follow this guide if you do not already have root access: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/root-s7-att-g930a-g935a-t3410538
Congrats on the first G920T ROM! Any way to do this withOUT wiping user data?

Thx. Use FlashFire's backup function to backup your data then restore after updating.

Nice! Thanks!
First off thanks for posting the first rom in this section. I just wanted to ask if this runs at the speed of the stock s7 or does it lag and delay like mine is now after rooting and applying the fixes?

Others will have to share their thoughts on that. I am running pure stock w/out root. But debloated, deodexed ROM'S usually run a little faster than pure stock.

If I use flash fire. What are all the items o want to back up for user data only ? I want to make sure I don't restore anything that will mess with this ROM. Thanks!

THANK YOU, will try as soon as I charge my phone and I will post updates.
Running amazing, definitely faster then stick rooted, only issue I'm having is when trying to make a call it takes a few seconds to connect :/ tried disabling Volte didn't make a difference
This rom is a phenomenal start. It is atleast as fast as stock s7 and runs circles around a fresh rooted one. As stated above the only thing I did notice was some weird calling issue but what cleared that up for me was dialer/settings/ turn off volte and also turn off wifi calling. The wifi calling had to be tricked into turning off as the regular wifi calling in settings was grayed out but I was able to get it in the dialer section. Thanks for a great start!

Hey, I also found this weird problem, may NOT be with this ROM, but I've never seen it before. Whenever I try to change the permissions of any app, I get this error. SO, I have to go thru and disable every app before I can change ANY app's permissions. VERY annoying. Anyone have a workaround?

I extracted a APK file out of there and just installed it normally. Hope that helps
Just odin flash the stock PG1 .tar files.
You may also want to remove that link to the regular SuperSU.zip. People should only use the special SuperSU version made for use with adb.

The zip will have all the tar files,, and it will be obvious where they go when unzipped.
