I have a Sprint version Galaxy S5 [G900P] that I just rooted. I would like to try installing some custom ROMs on it, but I cannot find a ROM that says it supports the G900P. Most of the ones I found on this site (Carbon, Alliance, X-Note, Phoenix, etc) say they support the G900F, and a few have some other models supported. Yet none of them mention the G900P. Is it not possible to install custom ROMs on the Sprint version of the S5 at this time? Or will the G900F ROMs work on my version?

You're looking for this forum. It contains only information regarding the SGS5 Sprint Variant (G900P).
Happy flashing, and always remember to backup! I personally use Philz CWM Touch Recovery.

Thanks for the info! I use Philz CWM as well, and I've really had no issues with it! Definitely backed up prior to flashing. As a side note, is it safe to rename the backups made by Philz CWM? I currently just have two backups, one of stock ROM right after installing Philz, and one after flashing RDDT. I can imagine that after trying a few other ROMs, it will get a bit complicated to keep one from the other.

Unfortunately, I have no clue. I'm guessing, since it's based off of CWM, that you can, but like I said, I don't know.

What's a good lightweight, no bloat TW rom? I noticed Omega has a lot of additional features, which I would never use like the Xposed framework.
I was thinking of going with Goldeneye, but not sure if it has been updated to support I337M again.

same here ..
you should try xposed framework ,and wanam xposed .There a lot of xposed module and i can costumize touchwiz like i want,like maximize widget,wich allow me to click on a notification without having to unlock.For shure its a personnal choice.
But in omega you can choose the app that you want ,if you dont want xposed just unselect it ,it use aroma installer when you flash it,you can remove a lot of apps

Goldeneye never lost compatibility with our phones, so not sure what kind of support you expect or require.? IB4STiD simply requested not to complain from Canadian side for known problems, like lack of 4.3 modem for our phone, which we now got.
Simply flash Canadian compatible third party kernel, (one without knox) after flashing goldeneye, that's it.

It's in GE thread, first post, Canadian fix. Guess iB4STiD opened it up for us again.
But basically go to original development and whichever tw kernel you pick, follow the links to Canadian or T-Mobile compatible version. Kernel makers usually describe whether we have our own or we should use T-Mobile one

So, as I understand, we absolutely need this Advanced CWM recovery if we are running MK6.
We can't use standard CWM or TWRP recovery?

From what I gather, we can use CWM or TWRP, it just blows the Knox counter and warranty is void. Which is why cf-auto-root can still root, and why u can just throw rom manager on to install cwm (then remove, dont install roms with rom manager). This is only for MK6 (rogers/canadian). I would try a cwm or twrp, and just use cf-auto root to reinstall the stock recovery with odin if you run into problems.

This is only relevant for GE versions 13/14. The latest is GE15. As already explained, just follow steps in 1st post. There is a section called 'Canadian install guide', can't miss it. The fix you flash after the rom is the kernel for our baseband (Step A). Easy as pie. Step B is optional, changes network icons from default to whatever your carrier uses (e.g., 4G to LTE).
I would recommend creating a backup of stock once rooted before flashing custom roms. Not sure if there's ever going to be a fix for resetting knox, but traditionally it was a good idea to have this in case you ever want to revert back to stock and unroot. Also backup EFS to be safe, for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546. I personally had to use an app for that after updating, knox kept preventing me from connecting to the program but that was when OTA was launched, might work for you.

FYI I did it the easy way using the Cyanogen Installer.
Ended with CM10.2 and CWM 6.0.4.4.
Then I flashed CWM Touch 6.0.4.4 from CWM. Downloaded TWRP but did not try it.

Hey, i'm new to XDA and i was just wondering if you know how to modify Galaxy S4, Canadian version (SGH-I337M) to make it work on WIND or you might know someone who can help me through this, phone was offically with rogers but now its unlocked and running android 4.3 on it, ill be really greatful if you could help me. waiting for your reply.
Thanks
I'm currently running on 4.3 on my S4 and i'm having trouble finding a way to install CWM on my phone. I Downloaded ROM Manager and tried installing it through the app but when I boot into recovery mode, it just shows the regular recovery mode not CWM. So then I went to the official CWM website and downloaded the latest CWM but it comes as a .img and I don't know how to install that. Can somebody show me how to install it?

I'm not that dumb, I've tried that. I guess I should be more specific. every method I find i get an error or it doesn't work. So if you know how to that would be great
You really do need to search, its not that hard. CWM isn't available for your Galaxy S4, and probably never will be. They are working on bringing safestrap which allows some custom roms to be installed on your device.
Samsung and AT&T have really cracked down on rooting and custom recoveries. Those who got the S4 early on who didn't update are still able to flash roms through CWM.

Obviously you haven't. There is no custom recovery available for an AT&T S4 with a release later than MDL.
It's all over the forums. A simple search would have gotten you that, and in the process you may have learned the answer to your next question as well.
Hello all. First off I have a I337m with baseband NE1. I never see this mentioned anywhere and wanted to know what I can do with this phone.
I've rooted already (with towelroot) and wanted to get a custom bootloader. I've read and read then read somemore but found too many mixed staments regarding this.
Can I install a custom bootloader (say through goo manager) without worries or is there more to it? Does it completely overwrite the stock bootloader?
Do I need to worry about Loki?
Can we use other carrier ROMs?
Is it safe to say that everything in this sub forum works with my device?
Im familiar with flashing and the likes coming from the S2 with CM10.2 but there are too many varients and mixed statments (old to new methods) and I can't for the life of me find direction.
This is what I know about the i337m, mind you I don't have the device:
You can root using chainfires cf-auto root
Use trwp manager to install twrp
You can flash any rom here and you don't need Loki

I have the same phone on Telus... as far as the "custom bootloader" I think you really mean custom recovery, I use TWRP version 2.7. You can also use Philz recovery or CWM but I perfer TWRP as it hasnt given me any issues. If you load TWRP don't go for the latest version as I have seen guys have problems with the latest and greatest.
Once you have twrp on your phone... before you do anything else... make a backup in twrp of your current rooted stock rom so you have a starting point. In twrp, I like to do all backups to the external sd card as there may come a time where you do a factory wipe... and poof its gone...
In the developement thread... there is a rom called Mapleleaf works very well on this phone... I run it myself with the googy-max3 kernel.
If you decide to flash anything else... make sure it will work for i337m, I have seen people get into trouble flashing things meant for the US version (i337). Our bootloader is unlocked so you don't need saftey strap or loki or other things that the i337 users need.
When in doubt... search the forum... if you find nothing... ask before you do anything strange.
As far as the bootloader goes... try to stay on your current one.. mine is still MK6. Once the bootloader is updated there is no going back... period.....
This helped a lot man, I appreciate it.
So just to clarify, can I use goo manager for the recovery or should I use Odin? And is there any version in particular [TWRP] that I should use? What version are you running?
How do I check my bootloader version?

You can use goo manager or Odin. Just make sure you have the right version. FYI twrp 2.5.0.2 is the most reliable version that I have used for this device.
Tapatalked from California Custom Chrome M&M I337m
If you want an older version of twrp use odin... goomanager will likely try to load the latest version... as for checking which bootloader version you have, download the app phone info from the play store.... here... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en
my version of twrp is 2.6.3.1 and it works fine... as stated... 2.5 is also recommended by some of the devs....
My bootloader ends in NE1, does that pose a problem - I rarely see it mentioned anywhere? I took the OTA in case anyone is wondering. Basically, can I flash something that's not NE1?
Also, I've been reading that the ROM that's going to be flashed needs to be the same Android Version as the current one on the phone, is this still true?

This will mean you can flash any rom (for i337m) that is 4.4.2 version of android. You can always go up on android version to bootloader but you can't go down versions unless the bootloader is an earlier version. Since most roms are 4.4.2 or higher, I don't think this should be an issue, not many people are looking to go to an older version of android..... bigger... better and all that...

The I337M bootloader is not locked. What you are seeing when you boot after rooting is that you tripped KNOX since new bootloaders are closely tied to KNOX so any violation = tripped KNOX.

Hello all,
I am running a touch wiz rom, Skyfall, and TWRP 2.7 is my recovery. I was wondering if there are any custom roms for the Samsung Galaxy S4 - SGH-I337Z from Cricket. The codename is 'jflteaio' and I didn't want to brick the device by simply 'trying' one of the I337 Roms. In fact, the only reason I have Skyfall is because a dev(hroark13) confirmed it working on his device on Android Forums. Any help would be awesome! Thanks!

I looked in the unified section and I could not find a place to ask questions about my Cricket model of the S4. It said it was only for Development. If at all possible, could you point me in the right direction? Thanks!
Late answer to this question for anyone looking at this. There's not much info. out there about the i337z from Cricket/AIO.
First, install TWRP found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...cket-aio-sgh-i337z-jflteaio-twrp-2-7-t2858698. You'll have to install a terminal emulator app from the Play Store to follow the installation instrucitons.
Second, make a backup using TWRP. You'll need this if you flash a ROM and your S4 won't boot.
Third, flash a custom Touchwiz rom. Goldeneye worked on my i337z with 4.4.2, baseband ND3, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2313469. I flashed it as an AT&T i337 safestrap selection in the Aroma settings that appear after you click install in TWRP. Another poster said they liked Skyfall by the same developer as Goldeneye. Wifi didn't work for me when I flashed the Skyfall ROM, but you may just need to change the build.prop file to ro.securestorage.support=true from ro.securestorage.support=false.

Not for sure,. I've gotten AT&T ROMs to work if the ROM has an Aroma installer to allow you to select to NOT install a kernel, normally shown as AT&T Safestrap. I also was able to install the Goldeneye ROM that does include a kernel. I'm not sure why as there may be some compatibility between the kernels. By in large, most AT&T ROMs that include a kernel would not boot after installing.
I'd go with GPE Lollipop, or flash ATT's CWM and flash cyanogenmod's 12.1. that one's pretty nice. Or just stick with kitkat. anything kitkat, by now, has its bugs worked out. Really liked slimrom

Everything is working smoothly, however, I would like to know if there are any cool custom roms that I can flash to make my phone run differently/more effectively?
I've looked and seen a bunch of custom roms, but I'm not quite sure if it's safe to flash it to my canadian device.
Thanks in advance,
