Hi everyone,
I have a question... I took the NC5 OTA update not knowing it would lock up the device, in fact the first time I turned it on it was the only option to upgrade or delay it. So I've completed gogolies OTA downgrade to rooted upgrade (NC5) and it worked! every happy about that. However I really want something pure AOSP. Can I downgrade again to an older version in order to load something like AKOP or Cyanogenmod? I looked around for 4.4.2 roms and was unable to find anything pure... when I say pure I mean the AOSP images, icons, software nothing designed by Samsung.
Thank you,
Ck
Why do you need to downgrade? You can just flash any custom rom you want.
There are a lot of AOSP roms. You can find them in the Original Development section.
Thank you for the reply however I've tried to install AOKP and CM10 both on slot one and both failed (booted to black screens) and I don't see any I545 roms on this site. Could you point me in the correct direction? I'm currently running rooted 4.4.2 NC5 on i545
Thank you again,

Hi,
Please check for your specific device forum .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon
If you flashed a ROM from the threads on this forum it's very likely it didn't work because the international S4 is different from Verizon one .

Hi all! Forgive me first off if anything comes off as a silly question, I'm fairly new to the whole idea of ROMs.
Here's my current situation. I've got an unlocked AT&T Galaxy S4 which had the 4.4.2 NI1 OTA update installed. I've since installed SafeStrap and a 4.4.4 "Pure Nexus" ROM in the stock slot.
With the newest SafeStrap 3.75 beta installed and slot ROM installations working, I'm interested in finding a T-Mobile/MetroPCS ROM (I currently have MetroPCS service) for the WiFi calling feature. I've found a few stock ROMs that will boot in Slot 1, but unfortunately all of them seem to have a modem issue that I can't resolve (unknown baseband version, no wifi/cell). Those ROMs had modems available for download, but only in .tar format, so I can't install them with SafeStrap.
My question is, has anyone been able to pull off running a T-Mobile/MetroPCS ROM on an unlocked AT&T S4 with SafeStrap? Thanks in advance for any help, sorry again for being such a noob. :crying:
EDIT: I see that this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53758259&postcount=2) has some T-Mobile ROMs listed, would installing them in a SS Slot make them behave any differently than normal?

Wow, that actually looks like exactly what I needed! Thanks so much! Guess I should have done a bit more searching, heh...I'll post back here with any updates with a Slot-based installation.
Update: the guide linked did not appear to work on a SS Slot installation, but did work just fine as a stock ROM installation. I'll be trying a few more from that other thread later on and post if any work on a Slot installation.

The ss app may force close if you remove it. But you no longer need mode changer at all if using the latest ss v3.75-A01.
Thanks!
Which Safestrap for Bell/Virgin Galaxy S4 NE1 4.4.2
I have a Galaxy S4 SCH-I337M with stock 4.4.2 LUFNE1
I rooted with towel root and installed super user.
I want to install safestrap (I assume my bootloader is locked bc is says write protected when in download mode)
I dont see any versions for NE1 just NB1,MK2,MF3, not sure where to proceed from here.
safestrap i337 nj4
Does safestrap work on i337 on nj4? If so, which version? I have never rooted and am on latest 4.4.4 nj4.
Safestrap on NE2(Telcel Mexico)
I didnt notice the automatic updates on my new S4 and it upgraded over the night while i was sleeping, so now im stuck with 4.4.2 (KOT49H.I337MUMUFNE2) ... I was wondering if there is support for safestrap with this rom, or is there a way to downgrade without loosing 4G and WiFi.
Thanks.
Edit:
Greetings, i have installed safestrap 3.72 and succesfully made a rom slot in my phone, saddly, when i try to install a ZIP file with a custom ROM, it says it succescully installed the ROM and then when i try to restart, it boots with a clone of the main stock ROM ... Any idea why this is happening?. Also i must point out that im trying to install Cyanogen Mod 11, the lastest nightly for the jflte ... Im wondering if i should try with the version for the jflteatt.
any updates for this thread on using 4.4.4 NJ4?
Hey first great work this is my first post so i apologize if this has been answered or if this thread is no longer valid. My question is does SafeStrap work for NJ4 4.4.4?
Yes...I'm on ss 375 with 444
Lollipop support?
I know that it might be a huge effort, but what is required to support lollipop?
Looks like users with TWRP can flash some kernels as long as they are based in the stock kernel and still in locked bootloader.
Looking at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292341, ktoonsez was able to to provide kernel for AOSP lollipop using CWM or TWRP. Can this also be done for Safestrap?
This might also require ROM modifications to support safestrap, but again, what is required.
I have some basic-medium programming skills and relatively new to Android but willing to collaborate for whatever is required, just point me to the info I need to learn and I'll do my best to help.

If you have true TWRP, that means you have an exploitable bootloader, even if it's still locked. The only way you could get lollipop on a stock kernel for Safestrap users is if we get an official Lollipop stock kernel. If you've got evidence to say otherwise, sharing would be good. Otherwise, Safestrap doesn't allow the flashing of kernels since they won't work, and the only other possibility is using a kexec module to load an alternate kernel from disk after the phone starts up. This module is actually being worked on, and if you want to ask about it go to the verizon S4 General section and look for the "if we are serious" thread.
Bootloop when using ROM slots?
I've attempted to use the recovery several times now. If I use the Stock ROM slot to flash the ROM (Goldeneye v49.2) I can't get back into SS recovery once it flashes. If I use the ROM slots, I get stuck in a very laggy bootloop. PLEASE HELP?

NK1 wi-fi modules.zip (Safestrapped Hyperdrive MOD installed) which one?
Hi, I've got an sch-i545 verizon gs4 with Hyperdrive Rom running on it (yay!) but need the Modules.zip file for NK1, which seems to be the least used version of Verizon's locked bootloader phones.
If you or someone could point me towards a modules.zip for NK1?
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK!!!

Best place to start would be the Verizon S4 forums and not the AT&T S4 section. Look for any index type threads or something there.
Guys. I need some help. I just installed Safestrap 3.75 on my S4 but when I boot into recovery the time is all wrong its off by like an hour and 20 min. Time zone is correctly set. Anyone have any ideas?

Goldeneye rom for gti9500 - which Zip file?
Sorry to ask this, but when trying to flash the Goldeneye rom on my wife's S4 GT i9500 International, it seems the zip file is for the Gti9505 zip instead . if you select either link for gti9500 or gti9595 on the Goldeneye XDA thread, it takes you to the same file page with the rom zip for both phones. I have a gt i9500 and downloaded the GE-XXUGNK4-49.2.zip as I assumed it was an update from GE-XXUGNK4-49, but when I try to flash it on my GT i9500 it asks which variant to choose from with US/Canada carriers or the gt i9505. Am I correct in assuming I therefore need to download the GE-XXUGNK4-49 version, or is it the GE-XXUGNK4-48.zip that I need for the GT i9500?
Your help would be great.
New here, have lurked for ages before finally pulling the trigger and doing away with stock.
After an insane amount of confused reading, I somehow managed to root and get goldeneye on my canadian S4.
But it looks like I don't get 4g or LTE anymore. In reading and searching I see many references to a canadian LTE fix, (im on Fido) but I just can't find the dang link.
Can someone point me in the right direction ? Thanks

Hello Gurus,
I have the Canadian S4 (I337MVLUFNI2) running stock 4.4.2. I've just downloaded the Lollipop upgrade from Koodo but did not install.
I'm looking to root and flash CM12 or other ROMs, but I'd like to try Lollipop first.
Few questions about the upgrade:
-Will I be able to root the device after upgrading to Lollipop?
-If I don't like Lolipop, can I revert to my 4.2.2 using my Kies back up ?
-If I want to be able to evert, do you recommend that I root my 4.4.2 and take a nandroid back up first ?
(Battery life is important for me. If the upgrade turns out to be disastrous as some online reports indicates, I'd like to be able to go back to 4.2.2).
-What is the recommended way to root and install recovery for my device ?
Thanks to all..
Do what I did.
Backup all files to PC
Flash lollipop firmware through Odin which you can download from sammobile
Reboot into recovery and wipe data and cache(this will erase everything on phone)
Boot up phone and setup accounts
Then once finished flash this through odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293800
Flash twrp through odin
Boot up and copy files back to phone
Reboot into recovery and flash cm12 or whatever you want
So far, there is not a root method for Lollipop on the S4, nor does Xposed work for it yet (lots of issues with the way Samsung implemented ART to Touchwiz).
There is a keep root method in the S4 general Forum, which is just a way to keep root throughout the install of lollipop if you are already rooted on the current ROM you're upgrading from. I'm on my phone though so apologies for not linking it.
I'm not certain if a kies backup will restore after the upgrade, but even though the keep root method removes safestrap functionality, there is a way to get it working temporarily, which may provide some hope.
Seeing as you're using a Canadian model I don't think you need safestrap, and seeing as I do (AT&T model), I can't tell you how other recoveries will handle the situation.
