Hello people! Im very new to rooting and flashing roms so could you also assist me on how to do it (like doing a custom recovery/unlock bootloader)? I have the Galaxy S5 ATNT variant and I wonder if you guys have any smooth roms for it. I heard that Cyanogenmod released a klte rom (nightly rom) which is for the Galaxy S5 LTE version and Im wondering if it could function well for my Galaxy S5 G900A. And what are AOSP roms? Are they like stock roms or something close to that? I need it to be less bloated (or not, but has to be faster than stock rom) and a smoother/faster ROM than the Touchwiz (Stock) ROM (And yes I know that it voids your warranty)

you require doing a root and installing safestrap. the at&t kernel/bootloader is locked and encrypted so you cannot flash custom kernels or recoverys. visit the at&t forum for information. i sold my at&t model and bought a sm-g900f because of this.

I'm sorry to have to ask a question such as this but I would like more roms to choose from and it seems like international at&t forums have a lot more options. I don't know when to install googlies xstra small patch or an auto port patch. I know how to flash through ss3.72 and am running a stock NC5 rooted deoxed rom right now. I was happy to have hyperdrive but now I just want to toy around with other roms and I think there is something to this auto port/international stuff.... thanks for your time, I'm new and have googled a lot, just no conclusive answers how to run at&t based roms on my sch-i545 verizon galaxy s4.
Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M from the Canadian service provider, Fido. From what I've read i need a custom ROM that is compatible with for my phone or I might end up bricking my phone. Can I use any SGH-I337 custom ROM or can I use the rogers ROM's one with the same model as mine? I've been reading about cyanogenMOD and Omnirom would i be able to use one of those?
Hello! I found a cool looking ROM (the MOAR ROM for the Sprint S5 based off of the Sprint NKD firmware, which is Lollipop TouchWiz) and I was wondering, can it be installed on the Verizon S5? I know that there is a ROM already for the S5 that's been ported from the Sprint NE5 firmware, so is it plausible this is portable too?
No, it cannot be installed on the Verizon S5. A port of a Sprint ROM, yes. An actual Sprint ROM, no. Don't think you're going to find a dev willing to port a ROM to the S5 for you. Plus, it's a lollipop ROM so porting it over would be useless since you wouldn't be able to flash it in safestrap.
I have been a Sony user since 2011 and never tried other brands but now I switched to Galaxy S5 and I'm kinda feel noob now
The model number is "SM-G900F" and I noticed that there are other Galaxy S5 aside from this.
Is the CM12 on official nightlies "klte" is the same for all? or is there a specific baseband for each. I wanna try some kernel and AOSP based rom.
By the way my phone is still on 4.4.2. Ive heard there is 4.4.4 and 5.0.
Im used to doing modding on sony locking unlocking first bootloader before flashing kernel then flash rom. Is there a big difference when it comes to samsung? particularly Galaxy S5
First......DO NOT allow your phone to update to 5.0.0........It REALLY screws things up......
Second......research KNOX as this will have a direct bearing on whether you decide to go the whole custom route or simply just root, debloat, and customise your stock firmware.........

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 Metro Pcs (sm-g900t1) and i cant seem to find any custom roms that support this model , i heard from somewhere on this site that i can use the Tmobile custom roms (sm-g900t) since my phone is just rebranded , well i wanted to know if that was true. can i just do that ? or do i need to flash the firmware and change it to sm-g900t ? any help will be thankful.
As long as g900t1 and g900t have the same hardware internally, you should be good with using g900t ROMs
