Months ago I flashed my phone (AT&T S4 I337 running MLD baseband) to stock 4.3 ROM (JWR66V). I have TWRP installed as a custom recovery and the phone is working fine. However, I don't have root access when the OS is running. No sure why.
Anyway, I'm bored and there are a few nagging bugs, so want to give Cyanogenmod a shot. My questions for you are.
1) can I just download the appropriate CM release and flash it?
2) Do I need to reroot? If so, whats the best method for me?
If its really risky, I'm not interested. But if it's a matter of just flashing the rom, I'd like to give it a try. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
I'm a noob when it comes to the s4 custom rom process. On other devices its more simpler like just straight up putting a custom recovery then putting a custom rom. But I was wondering if there was anyway to put lollipop on my s4. I'm on 4.4.2 with NC1 (whatever that is) on ATT with root from towel root. I have the new safestrap apk downloaded but I won't install it unless there is a way to get lollipop. Thank you for your help.

Actually I'm fine using 4.4.4 because I found a rom compatible for safestrap but I'm still unsure on how to install, same with safestrap, any help?
If you use safestrap then you will not have lollipop available until at&t releases its update.
Recently, I unroot my GT-i9505 and flashed a stock Samsung 5.0.1 to my phone. Now I wanna root my device again and flash a Deodexed stock Samsung 4.4.2. I search through the internet and multiple forum. Every method I try, it fail. Most the time Odin will run until recovery.img then either stuck or fail.
The rom I'm using is lrx22c.i9505xxuhoa7. I tried to use CF-auto root, doesn't work. What you guys recommend me to do?
Search in S4 General. There are tutorials for rooting an Android 5.0.1 device. After that, install a recovery through Odin and flash away.
tell us if you ca do the downgrade, because i want to do the upgrade now, but i don´t now if i will satisfied with lollipop, thanks!
I search for numerous post and thread on internet already. Pretty much none is working.
Here's some method I tried and doesn't work. Also, I can't even install TWRP recovery.

I'm not sure I'm missing something. When I flash, do I really have to wipe data and re-partition?
I can't answer that. I never installed Touchwiz 5.0.1 on my device and went straight from my Black Edition ROM to Danvdh's GPE ROM.
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to install a custom ROM on my AT&T Galaxy S4 and I have a few questions.
I've been using it on T-mobile so I haven't been able to get any of the OTA updates. (Which from the sounds of it, it sounds like a good thing.)
I'm currently running NC1. I also have safestrap installed on my phone. I'm assuming I can't install TWRP on AT&T Galaxy S 4?
Basically my question is,
Am I able to install any custom ROM at this point? Do I need to install specific kernels or anything further? I wasn't sure if I could install the 5.0.1 ROMs.
Sorry for the newb questions, I've been out of the rooting game for a while lol.
Thanks,
Indian
You can only install TW, safestrap safe Roms. If you want to install and root the new lollipop read the thread about it. Careful its not 100% yet
Okay sweet, thank you! That's exactly what I was looking for
Appreciate it! I'll just stick to one of the ROMs from the index guide to stay safe.
Greetings. Here's a bit of quick backstory-
I have experience rooting many android devices. I have only flashed 2 kernels before iirc (2 different devices) with Odin. I've tried to do as much reading as I could but I'm a little stumped and also been having some brainfog due to life stress so I need a little help if anyone could be kind enough to help.
The main device in question is my At&t Galaxy s4
-SGH-1337 on 4.4.4
-Baseband/build NJ4
-Stock at&t rom as far as I remember
-Rooted
-Locked bootloader
Now what I want to do is flash a good custom rom. I have my eye on Hyperdrive but I'm confused on a few things-
•Do I need to use loki or safestrap? Which one should I use?
•To use Hyperdrive RSL20 do I need to downgrade from 4.4.4 to 4.4.2? Can I even?
•If Hyperdrive isn't an option for me, how exactly should I go about flashing something like Goldeneye? I'm a little confused on the process at this point with both loki and safestrap. I tried the newest version of safestrap for NJ4 apparently but the rom slots apparently aren't working yet for that version and I wasn't sure if it was wise to flash over the stock rom slot. Kind of confused on this whole thing.
I'm not asking for fleshed out guides or anything as I can find those myself. Just kind of need some clarification on these things for the tl;dr version-
•Being on 4.4.4 locked bootloader, if I want to flash a 4.4.2 rom, do I need to downgrade? Can I even?
•Should I use loki or safestrap? In order to use safestrap in my case it looks like I"ll have to downgrade either way, is this correct?
I thank everyone for taking their time to read through this.
Also mods, I apologize if this is in the wrong area.
Read the first few posts of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616221. That should give a lot of valuable info.

I'm still unclear on a few things I guess.
I've read that thread over and over before it was linked, and read it a few times again.
I realize being on NJ4 that if I use safestrap, I have to flash the stock rom slot and it must be a touchwiz rom. Got that. What I really want to know at this point is that are 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 roms interchangable? For instance- I'm on 4.4.4 nj4. Can I flash hyperdrive which is a 4.4.2 rom?
If not and I have to downgrade, is it even possible for me to downgrade being on a locked bootloader?
Edit: Well I just bit the bullet and downgraded to 4.4.2 via odin, did full wipe with safestrap etc, and got the hyperdrive rom up and running. A little disappointed as I was hoping to get a better antutu score but it was the same score I got with stock nj4 rom that I debloated myself. Meh. I guess I might give goldeneye a shot.
Bump! I'm in the same situation
After playing around with all that Hyperdrive rom had to offer as well as ktoonz kernel and overclocked profiles, I made the jump to a custom Lollipop rom ultimately for the performance upgrade of Lollipop's ART system. After seeing the difference I really see no reason to go back to kitkat at this point. I've been using the 5.0.1 Goldeneye rom and like it so far. I just have a few kinks to work out but overall it's been good. I'd like to get a 5.1.1 rom on this but alas I don't think I've come across a safestrap compatible one yet.
