I set up this pack for people who might be new to the Android community. It has all of the most popular hacks and mods along with simple explained out instructions. I didn't create any of the programs nor did I come up with any of these methods. I just organized them and put simple instructions in each folder so that everything would be in one place and to simplify the process for some of the newer members who this is their first time messing around with any device.

NewbPackv1 includes:

SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones
i337RootDebloatInstall 2 by hfxzack
Bloat Remover by Nottach
Nottachs S4MDL Deodexed Pseudo-Rom
Information about Nottachs Xposed Mod
Xposed Framework installer by rovo89
Original firmware dump and Odin recovery Instructions by AdamOutler
Comes with Nottachs APK Tools; APK Manager, BaksmaliManager, and Dex2Jar

Thanks to all the devs putting out the hard work a huge thanks to Dan Rosenberg for his loki exploit!

Uploading a Mirror for this to my server
Are you downloading the torrent right now? And then you will mirror it for me on your server? And send me the link so I can post it to the top. I will be working on keeping this fully updated and the total guide as a how-to for everything GS4. Let me know if anyone has a spot that I can upload these files to. I think all rared up it's around 2.5gb. At this point in time. Of course over the next few months it will continue to get larger and larger. So I'm eventually going to have to categorize everything in sections. But it's a process. As for now this is everything you need to know and to have to be up to date what us with our locked bootloaders can do.

I don't know what I am going to do when I keep updating this.... I don't want to have to throw out a new torrent everytime and then have to have someone else upload it everytime. LOL. I think that I will figure out a different format for it and add packs to it so that people can just keep adding to the Tools folder on there desktop. Or create another thread with a different pack or something. I will have to do some brainstorming. I'm open to ideas. I'll probably just break down and pay for a dev-host account.

Your VERY much welcome. The only thing I ask is to link everyone via this http://storagecow.tk/index.php?dir=Xda/JohnMonsour/ and not direct links.

Since you're posting live links while uploading, you might want to consider sharing the MD5 of the complete package so that downloaders can be sure they have the correct and complete file.

Thank's for seeding! Keeping good torrents isn't hard to do if everyone plays there role!

I will continue to update it with more useful tools as they become available. I'll upload a new torrent with all the new stuff in a rar. And I make sure I paraphrase in layman terms sot that even the newest of the new should have no issue

And to take it even farther I plan on having a few rar's that will be for certain sections if they wouldn't need the others for some reason.

Simplifying everything down into about 5 to 10 folders root, pseudo roms, Roms, tools for debloating, an xposed folder,odin and recovering, and eventually in the very new future, custom recoveries, Full on Roms, kernels.... etc the possibilities are endless.

Simple for us but if someone had never dealt with android before it is no walk in the park. But that's why I am here putting out simplified packages with organized and easy to follow instructions.

The number one concern is getting our damn boot loader out of att jail, after that its all gravy. when I get some more time I will start making a guide on everything anyone should know about the galaxy s4 and what tools are available and what devs we have working on them and what the future holds for us with the Gs4. It's going to be a lot of work but it will cut down on a lot of flaming and ignorant questions.

P.s. On storage cow... The link for newb pack says its 0 kb just ignore it and it will download fine its about 2.7gb.
And also thanks for support.

Thank you for the n00b pack! I just got my new S4 ATT phone the other day and was looking around to see what I could do to it.

Took me a bit to find the torrent for this pack, but I did. The link in the OP points to a Torrent file that is no longer used. Instead, use the following link:

http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/8503670

I will be seeding this torrent as well for as long as I can.
Thank you very much for putting it all together and I can't wait to see what I can do to this and with this phone.
