[Q] Help me with DL for galaxy s4g battery life

Hey I visited this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236779
I want to increase my battery performance and the directions were as followed:
If you want to use this just copy the text paste in your own build.prop then reboot.
Where is my own build.prob? Can I get guide? thanks.
Plus any other battery saving tricks?
I have screen on lowest, non moving background, wifi and 4g turned off when not using, 15 sec screen...umm.. you get the picture

You should go look at a couple of the tweak threads in the dev section. Getting amazing battery life on VB and Lightning Zap.

Would you be so kind as to find some of the threads for me or a faster way to find them rather than search through all the threads? Thanks

Here is the FIRST thread you should read!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21954884
Here is the second thing you should read thoroughly!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_4G
Here are the tweaks:
[TWEAK] Universal Adrenaline Shotv14-1 cache scroll tweak
{UPDATE 13FEB12 v4 FINAL}[TWEAK] Lightning Zap
[CWM][SCRIPTS][TWEAKS] ThunderBolt! v2.5.1
Custom ROM recommendations:
Valhalla - BlackEdition
[ROM] icbinb 2.3.7
AOSP Style 3.3.2 | [ROM][CWM]
If you follow the directions in the first link above... you flash the custom ROM's and tweaks the same way - in CWM.

I was getting 2-3 days with VB and Lightning Zap! On MIUI I'm getting around 20 hours.

Btw, I rooted my phone and I want to update to gingerbread... can I do this?
Also, thanks lumin!

I got the phone 2 days ago, rooted yesterday because I needed more memory and I was deleting bloatware. Found this forum, deleted FOTA to get more memory... then found out I could go to GB
Ill wait for your link. Thank you so much!!!

No the link I told you to use is an 'all-in-one' solution to upgrade your phone. Just READ! Very important to READ and follow the directions he provides in his post.

trying to do step one, says device disconnected... Why?
Reading more...hmm..
I tried putting into DL mode and connecting, still says dc'ed.
Ill try restarting comp

Step 1: Get the latest version of Java 1.6 from this link or from your linux distribution.
So have you followed the link in step one and check whether you are up-to-date with Java? You need to do that before download mode or starting heimdall one-click.

Yeah, I am going to try restarting comp because I just updated. Shrug restarts usually help.

Indeed they do.

This is what is happening for me. Wish I knew why.

Did you install the drivers? And you need to be careful restoring with TB.

Well I think I did. It still says dc'ed but I went to help--install--error- instructions-- couldn't follow them because my comp cannot detect my device when in DL mode--- turned phone on, went to options--show all devices-- selected mine-- downloaded drivers-- dont see any difference.

How to return to UCKJ2 after running new ICS leak?

So I installed new ICS leak using I727UCALC4_OneClick and was running fine but all of a sudden lock screen stop working. I reset the phone and ran it again and phone now freezes up every 5 mins. How do I get back to 2.3.5 UCKJ2? I already tried using Odin and flashing stockrecovery.tar and no luck still stuck on ICS. I downloaded SGG-I727-UCKJ2-k0kane.7z and also SGH-I727UCKJ2_I727ATTKJ2.rar but when I go into dl mode computer can't recognize these two files or just can't find them. I need help please, thanks in advance.

You probably need to unzip the .7z and .rar file to use them. I believe Odin only "sees" .tar files.
Make sure you read the instructions carefully and know what you're doing.

K0nane's thread should work for you if you read and follow the directions.
SamMobile.com also has original Skyrocket firmware that flashes via Odin. The SamMobile version is a more complete install that is reported to not trip the counter and show as "original Samsung firmware". I havn't tried either version so you need to read for yourself before you ask any questions or try anything.

ODIN doesn't look for files. You need to tell them where there are by clicking on PDA and choosing the tar from wherever location you saved it.

You need to unzip the files with an extractor. It has to be a .tar file to get Odin to see it. Plain and simple.

Yeah since its a .7z and .rar file, you'll need to download WinRar or 7zip to unzip them.
Winzip probably won't suffice. Good luck.

File was corrupted not sure why, now in dl mode I get error message that says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. I'm dl another one now and will unzip to see if that works, I'm crossing my fingers. Thanks

It worked but baseband isn't UCKJ2 and I keep getting foreclose message that google services isn't working :/ baseband is I727UCALC4

Yes, of course. Did you read about this before doing it? You can get the full tar with radio from sammobile and it wont set off the counter.

I strongly suggest you completely stop what you are doing and actually do a little research and reading before you go any further. Every issue you have encountered has been identified many times and is always caused from people not taking the time to learn about what they are doing for they jump right in. YOU WILL END UP WITH A BRICKED PHONE IF YOU CONTINUE WITHOUT READING AND RESEARCHING!
The Kies message was brought up several times today in other threads relating to this ICS leak. You need to read all of the threads related to it.
I mentioned the counter in this very thread...if you would have read it. The baseband (radio) isn't flashed with K0nane's TAR or most other ROMS (unless otherwise stated). You have to go to the "Radio" thread in the DEV section and flash it through CWM seperately. It has been reported (by others) that the firmware at SamMobile WILL flash the correct modem and (I'll say it again) will not trigger the counter.
DO what you want, its your phone, but if you aren't going to take the time to learn about what you are doing you will be the owner of a bricked phone.

Relocked bootloader brick

Can someone point me in the right direction?
I updated the S3 Bootloader Unlocker and for some stupid reason i decided that i wanted to relock and unlock the bootloader.
I relocked it to find out that it didnt give me the option to unlock again.
Then i proceeded to reboot the phone and low and behold, The verizon screen of death popped up.
The screen im talking about is the one that says:
"System software not autorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help."
Is there a way to reflash the bootloader? Odin perhaps?
I just need a little guidance on getting me in the right path. Thanks all!

If you can boot to download mode still, you can Odin back. That's the great thing about Odin, doesn't matter what state your phone is in as long as you can get to download mode, it'll take care of the rest.
Vol Down + home key + power - do this while booting.
I assume you did what several of us did and used the ez-unlock tool? The update for that app actually is broken temporarily, mmeff said he's gonna fix it later tonight. Here is an old v1.2 I managed to find that works flawlessly.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/42057363/com.mmmeff.ez.unlock_3.apk

I did a few more searches. I found the soft brick fix page. I just reflashed everything.. But everything is lost......
Im gonna shoot myself.. Had tons of pictures from my daughters first birthday on there.. ALL GONE!!
Didnt think it would flash the internal storage.. FML

Actually it sounds like what he did was re lock his bootloader with a custom kernel on the phone. Because the update broke the unlocking part of the app his bootloader stayed locked and with a custom kernel on the device the subsequent reboot caused it to fail Verizon's signature check.
OP: Use the stock root66 Odin file in the stickies to restore stock.

I'm pretty sure that step 8 in that guide is what erased your internal sd card. That's where it says "Nand Erase All." That's tough that you lost all your pics.

This is what i did. I have lost all data that was on there. I even lost the CWM backups that were saved the the internal storage. So i couldnt flash back to any of those. Starting from square one.. and it sucks.
Edit:I found an old back up on my desktop. Flashed it and it was going really slow. I downloaded a rom, and flashed that. Then it took me right back to the VERIZON screen saying there was unauthorized software again.. What am i doing wrong? The bootloader app says the boot loader is unlocked.. maybe ill try the APK file from this thread instead of the market.

Yea, unless EZ Unlock was updated again today you need to use EZ Unlock 1.2 to properly unlock.

I think that was the problem. The app updated and is thinking that the boot loader was still unlocked so i couldnt unlock it again even after odin.
I just reflashed stock rooted with odin. downloaded unlock apk and rom manager. making back up of stock rooted. looks like it booted back to home screen! TIME TO ROM IT UP AGAIN!

Thank you so much for that apk.

Its been updated to 1.4. I dont know if i want to do even that one until the bugs are taken care of.
Thanks again to everyone that helped me get my phone back up and running.
I got my rom flashed. Apps installed. All is good in this world again. minus the losing pictures and stuff.

I upgraded to 1.4 before seeing this. Do I just uninstall EZunlocker completely and then flash 1.2?

this time back up your pics to the cloud!

im late to this thread but there is a guide in the development section that would of saved you alot of hassle as all your issues are explained there...hmmm I wonder who wrote that?

This was a really useful thread. Learned a lot, prompted me to check my backups and moments after reading the thread, I got an EZ-Lock update pushed to my phone (v. 1.4). Is this the one that addresses the bug?

I suggest you to download dropbox and activate the auto upload of pictures and video ( it should be active by default...) you can pick between upload only over WiFi to save your data plan or both WiFi and mobile.
It saved me and my pics many times..

He has a changelog...
v1.4
hotfix for last issue. Bootloader checking is disabled for the time being, so all you will see is UNKNOWN for the status. Fret not, as unlocking and relocking are still working. Sorry about all this, will rectify ASAP. I recommend using 1.2 from the Rootzwiki linked thread in the description.
v1.3
Use SHA-1 to check bootloader status (much more reliable)

Bad hash value....???? Help pls?
Hey guys,
Im new, but I am stuck. I am a victim of this as well. I am trying to use the instructions in the [HOW-TO] Unbrick your soft bricked Galaxy S III thread but Odin says that the VRALF bootchain file has a bad MD5 Hash value. The original link is bad, the file does not download. I was able to download from the mirror and the MD5 for that file does match the download, but for some reason Odin doesnt like it....
Im stuck. Can someone send me a file they have used? I just got this phone today....
Any help would be VERY appreciated.

OK. when you used ODIN what .TAR file did you flash? the ROOT66 one? There are others there that eliminate most all of the bloatware from VZW. Also the link you posted isn't valid.....

I just rooted one yesterday with that DebugFS and didn't have an issue one..... I am going to guess a bad download somewhere... Did you check MD5's? I would download the Samsung drivers again download the DebugFS again and verify that you follow it step by step.... and double check MD5 to make sure you are getting a good download.

aware me on MD5's

MD5's are the long series of numbers and letters that accompany most downloads... You can find free MD5 SUM checkers on the net for your computer depending on your OS... You copy the MD5 from the download site and compare it to the one that the program you get generates... They must match to show all the info stayed the same through the download....

I think you forgot to untick factory reset in odin ?
