I was just wondering if you could clarify something for me (please correct me if I'm wrong).

Are you stating that what @gpz1100 is asking about can be done simply by extracting the ML1 Bootloader file from its Stock Firmware and placing/replacing it within the PL1 Stock Firmware?

Or is there more to this?

No I didn't say anything about bootloaders. SuperR is to make a rom it uses system.img.ext4 , cache.img.ext4, boot.img and converts to sparse then makes a flash able rom that he could flash via TWRP as MDK is bootloader unlocked. Mdk you dont mess with bootloader. That would kill his MDK and no longer have a unlocked bootloader

Thank you very much for clarifying this! :eek:

I've never really delved into this specific area before and I didn't want to "assume" anything.

Use superR kitchen. Your still rooted atm correct? You dont use Odin when trying to keep root.

Yes, currently rooted. The stock pl1 would need to be rooted using whatever method is appropriate for lollipop (flash supersu or magisk through twrp I think). A stock rooted image flashed through odin would also work :)

I see a free superr kitchen for linux, anything like that for windows?

Thanks for your help.

Ibuprophen or anyone else that may be listening--does anyone have a copy of the I545VRSGPL1 firmware that they may be able to share? I'm only getting 1 Quebec mirror for the file on AFH, and the transfer is very slow and keeps stopping. Doubtful it will even finish. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

EDIT--Nevermind. It must've sped up when I turned my back. Download completed. Thanks anyway.

Thanks for the awesome stuff , man.
here, i'm having an unusual issue. after installing the firmware successfully, the phone shows the first samsung galaxy s4 logo and proceeds....after that, no luck. just the notification light keeps blinking and nothing happens. i can not even get into recovery.
What can i do to fix this issue? I'm having this problem too.
 
My deepest apologies for the delay as my inquiry to the AFH support individual took some time to get a response.

I was just told about huge AFH server updates and additional servers were recently added as well.

They stated that there's some minor touch up work still being done, but the speeds should be improved, as well as, the speeds (like any server) always depend upon the load for each server selected.

I've personally seen the improvements recently and am always hoping the same for others here.

Yes I am a noob to updating phone firmware. This is the only thread I have found dealing with the Verizon version of the S4 (S4-I545). My phone has a bootloader ver. I545VRSGPL1, but a thread giving information on how to update the LineageOS 18.1 (I assume newer that the 5.0.1 firmware I have) says that I need bootloader I545VRUSMDK. So, is there a way to upgrade the bootloader, or am I out of luck?

    {The above image is a refrence of all the Stock Firmware, Release Dates, etc...}

    DISCLAIMER/FYI

    - Sammobile stopped providing free downloads for this device and only available to Sammobile Premium Members.

    - I am aware that other locations/websites offer one or more of the following Firmware/PIT files. I'm providing them all in one place to help others out in obtaining them.

    - Due tot he size of the Firmware Files, the PIT Files are only available on the Downloads area of the DevDB.

    - Any process (like updating your modem) via Odin/TWRP/CWM is simple/easy to do but, as always, if your not sure of what your doing and don't do your research (ie... searching, asking questions, etc... first), then you take the risk of damaging your device.

    - I take no responsibility for any unexpected results or damage that may happen but, I am always willing to provide assistance to help you out.

    - Also keep in mind that when performing any unconventional updates, unlocking, rooting, etc... you may end up "voiding your warranty"!


    INSTRUCTIONS

    1. If not already done, be sure your PC/LPTP has the latest "Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones" installed.

    2. Download the Firmware and extract the ".tar.md5" file needed from one of the download links (below).

    3. Reboot your device in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons).

    4. Connect the USB cable to the Device and PC.

    5. Open Odin and select the PDA/AP and choose the ".tar.md5" Firmware file you downloaded.
    {Please Note: It's typically reccomended to use Odin v3.09-v3.12 (other versions may also work).

    6. In Odin, please be sure not to make any additional selections than the default that was already selected when you opened Odin.
    {Please Note: ONLY if using a PIT file, be sure you select the "re-partition" option.

    7. Select "Start" at the bottom & be patient for the process to complete as it can take some time for Odin to finish. Once Finished, Odin should reflect a Green "PASS" when completed (The device will also reboot automatically when done).

    In case anyone was interested, I had just uploaded the USB driver for the Samsung devices to my File Host Account.

    The following link takes you there. It's for Windows OS and I also had Zipped it up to help reduce the size (all you have to do is unzip it for the software).

    Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones v1.5.65.0 {05-22-2017} - Android File Host

    I believe that this is the latest version released in May 2017 but, if anyone knows where there's a more recent release than the v1.5.65.0, please let me know.

    I hope this is helpful for you!

    Thank you very much and, as always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

    Enjoy!!! :)
