need some assistance on mi i537 s4 active.

Hi to everyone and thanks for taking your time to read and help me out. Well I have the s4 active i537 and my firmware is ML3 4.2.2 and I keep seeing ppl go to 4.4.2 stock but none say there for my type of firmware or how to go about updating it. Some say it works just fine others say it dont let them do certaine things... I have mobile odin on my phone and im obviously rooted so any help on this topic will be well appreciated. Thanks in advance...

based on previous threads in the Q and A subforum, one can install *stock* 4.3 image *ML2* using Odin, update via wiFi to 4.4 and root using https://towelroot.com/

Do you have an AT&T i537, or was it purchased from a different carrier?

just to add another possibility but it may also have been a non-carrier purchase from phone store, unlocked device from any number of online vendors ... as in my two i537 devices from such a source, not purchased from any carrier, in case it matters.

The phone is from att but is being used on another carrier.

What version of firmware do you have, because ML3 is not an AT&T firmware?

All you need to do is flash the ML2 Odin package and then flash the NE3 OTA after that and you'll be on 4.4.2. It should only take about an hour.

All the links you need are in the i537 Firmware Thread.

Thanks a bunch I finally got my i537 on 4.4.2 also got it rooted. Possible safestrap? And any way for me to run a costume rom? I read somewhere that there's a way to load a costume kernel after it has read the stock one 1st so I'm guessing it would alow to use any costume rim but I don't know if it works the way I think it does.

If you weren't rooted before the update I don't think there is a way right now at this point.

Thank you thats what I kinda figured. Thanks for clearing that up. Hopefully they figure a way to root it.

Figured that's what the deal was.

I believe that you can odin back to 4.4.2 NC2 without issues and then towelroot and safestrap. Follow the thread in general section.

Amplify Xposed Module with Z3C

Hi ladies and gents. Am interested to know if anyone is using Amplify specifically to control wakelocks from system apps. If so which and what settings are you using?
edit: Just to be clear, let's leave aside all the obvious candidates (Xperia with facebook, Lounge, Update service etc..) which I imagine most of us have already uninstalled or frozen

What firmware are you on? I'm on the latest stock .726 LP with rooted LB and Amplify doesn't even work for me.

Yeah, Amplify was working perfectly for me on KK too, but supposedly the latest version is LP compatible.....just not for me, I guess.

Anybody been able to get it to work?

NCE flasher. No need for Odin to get into Safestrap.

Hi all,
This is an app (that would make your life easier) by which you can flash the NCE stock KK kernel(while on lollipop OC4) that is Safestrap friendly. Then you can enter to SS recovery and flash whatever you need onto your LP ROM. As we all know that SS won't work after flashing a lollipop ROM using muniz_ri method, unless you Odin a KK kernel. All you have to do is:
1. If you are not already on LP then update to it using muniz_ri method. After Muniz_ri method you won't have busybox, so download this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en from the playstore, open it up and install busybox from within the app (note: this is the only busybox app that has actually worked for me).
2. Install SS, open it up ( it will say recovery "not installed"), install recovery and it will say "installed", then exit out of it.
3. Download the NCE_Flasher.apk then install it, and open it up then hit " flash", wait for it to finish then hit "tap to reboot" and it will take you directly to SS recovery. Then you can flash whatever MODs or addons you wish or even ANOTHER ROM, just make sure you wipe everything but the external SD card if you are flashing a new ROM and you should be good.
4. MAKE SURE TO FLASH THE G900A_OC4_Stock_KERNEL_Recovery-Flashable before you reboot in order for your phone to boot up.
That is what I did and it worked perfectly for me and now I am running TMS5 with no issues at all.
FOLLOW THE ABOVE STEPS AND YOU WILL BE FINE.
-I did NOT make this app and I take absolutely no credit for it. All thanks go to @benwaffle the original creator of this app for our AT&T Note 3 and @carl1961 for remaking it for the S4 & S5.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
-Please note that the purpose of this thread is only to help users. No donations needed. A "thank you" is more than enough
Hope this will help.
WARNING: it may or may not work for some of you. It DID work for me and others with no problem on the S4 side and it is a very similar process, so use it at your own risk.
- Do NOT try this app on the S5 active. They have different kernels (I think) and it won't work for you.
If you run into an issue with the G900A_OC4_Stock_KERNEL_Recovery-Flashable zip, like it didn't work for you or didn't actually flash just boot into download mode after done flashing your files in SS and odin thisOC4 tar file in Odin in order for your phone to boot up into your rom.

Yes I think so. Using Odin to flash the files and such?

You have to use an older version of busy box to get it to install . I am about to try this with twisted v4 I post the results as soon as I finish.

Need help with terrible battery life. No root.

Hello everyone!
Firstly I apologise for starting another thread. But I have tried everything such as disabling most Samsung apps, keep brightness low and alot of other solutions people have suggested in other threads.
After upgrading to lollipop this the battery has become terrible. Attached is the screenshot. It's an unlocked note 5.
I don't want to root it so any help would be greatly appreciated. Is there a way to go back to lollipop without rooting? ( I'd prefer to avoid this route if i could)
Thank u in advance!

Make sure you search for the correct country you're in. A quick search shows
https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-N920C/
All you need to do is find the original firmware for Lollipop because you're on Marshmallow 6.0.1 now and Lollipop is 5.1.1
