[Q] Need help on AT&T Compatible Kernel

Hi,
I have samsung galaxy AT&T S4 I337, MDL baseband version.
I rooted the phone long back with Motochopper.
Last week, I installed TWRP 2.7.1.0 with "Rom Installer" app and I came to know that it is loki-fied TWRP.
I tried to flash couple of ROMs, but none of them worked except CM11. I tried foxhound ROM, Wanamlite ROM and Wicked ROM. On flashing any of these, I am getting a message "System software not authorized by AT&T is found on your phone", irrespective of whether I flash loki-doki.zip or not.
CM11 flashed fine (with out even flashing loki) and I am currently using it. My S4's firmware doesn't support call recording and I need it.
I searched the forums about the error message and I came to know that I need to flash an AT&T compatible kernel after flashing the ROM. Where can I find the AT&T compatible kernel? Can I flash the same kernel when I try different ROMs?
I installed xposed installer in CM11 and I have activated the module "EnableCMCallRecording". Does this really work?
FYI, I am able to get into TWRP recovery with out any issues when I am stuck in bootloop.
I have some knowledge about ODIN as I have used it in the past.
Thanks,
Balaji.

Stock Rom Needed (GS5 V): Stuck in boot loop

I had a Galaxy S5 4.4.4 December update from Verizon and tried flashing what I believed was a stock Verizon rom from Sammobile in order to apply towelroot. I am now stuck in a bootloop and could use a stock rom. I am new to flashing roms so any help would be appreciated. I couldn't find a link to a Verizon stock doing a search so if someone could provide a link that would be great. Also I have Odin 3.09 on my computer that I am able to use.

Here is all you need. Read the tar install instructions and it may solve your problem.
Thanks for the help. My phone is now working again and I can download the towelroot app.

[Q] N9005 soft bricked from Odin

Hi there,
I have made the fatal error of trying to flash lollipop via vmwares and now have a note 3 (uk version) stuck in download mode/connect to computer mode.
I was running 4.4.2 on an S5 type Rom and trying to flash the leaked version of 5.0
Now, I have access to a PC tonight. Do I need a pit file? If so which one? (Link would be great).
Also should I trying to load the official 5.0 software or 4.4.2?
Any help much appreciated.

Question on rooting 5.1.1

Hi. I have a couple of questions on rooting my Note 4.
I'm running unrooted stock 5.1.1 on my SaskTel (Canadian) 910W8.
What are my steps to rooting my device currently? I see a lot of talk about using Odin to put the Bell firmware on, installing TWRP through Odin, installing SuperSU and installing a custom kernel but those instructions seem to imply I'm not currently on 5.1.1 or I'm already running a rooted 5.0.1 or earlier device.
Is there no easy chainfire type of method?
I just basically want to run stock rooted 5.1.1 on my device.
Thanks.

AT&T S4 SGH-I337 - custom rom

Hi all,
I recently brought a S4 SGH-I337.
I'd like to know if there is any way to install LineageOS 14.1 or OctOS or Legacy Android 7 on this phone (without bricked it )
Now i've downgrade from OK3 to NB1, then root with towelroot and install Safestrap.
Thanks.
The i337 has a locked bootloader; therefore, installing lineage is not possible. You can only install roms that work with safestrap.
Thanks
Ok thank you,
After reading all these tutorials, that's what I thought.
Tant pis !
