Unified Dev ROM firmware

I'm running around looking for a new ROM, and I've found a few ROM's in the Unified section. My only question is what firmware do these require? I can't seem to find anything about it in the threads on what firmware they require, and I'd like to run CM12. I have a retail VZW GS5. Is this possible?

Tried flashing CM12 last night and it wouldn't even boot. Obviously I'm either missing something or these rom's are just for the dev editions. Anyone got any answer?

Do you have the proper recovery? and which CM12 Unified ROM are you using?

I only have safestrap, the latest version available before the dev stopped working on the project. Forgive me if this is an obvious mistake, I'm still learning the ropes of all this stuff. I tried flashing the kltevzw version from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ent/rom-cyanogenmod-12-0-android-5-0-t2945538

So you don't have a custom recovery? How did you flash the ROM?
EDIT: Sorry, I just realized you have a lock bootloader thus Safestrap, I actually have no idea of how to install using that. Might want to wait for a reply from someone else with a Verizon S5.

[Q] 4.4.2 rooted to Lollipop

Hi guys,
I'm trying to figure out how I can install Lollipop for my SM-N900V which is rooted with TWRP and Safestrap on Baseband N900VVRUCNC4 and Build number KOT49H.N900VVRUCNC4. I've looked into ArayaMod and Jasmine but I'm super confused about how to go about the install. Do I need to flash stock 5.0 via Odin and then flash a custom ROM? Do I need to install from an SD card?
I'm pretty discouraged and I'm almost ready to just flash the stock 5.0 and lose root privileges if it's possible.
I hope this doesn't seem too vague but if someone could just point me toward a decent thread or video to give me some direction I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Jeff

What to do next after Cyanogenmod?

Hi I have an unrooted Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 on Cyanogenmod M11, Was on UK VOD stock but moved to Cyanogenmod which is still on 4.4.4 KitKat but I'm a bit worried about future development of CGM. I read about tussles with other companies and big aspirations for M12 but the regular updates I've been enjoying have died out. not even a lollipop stable yet, I'm beginning to lose hope.
I know I shouldn't be so skeptical but I want to explore other roots (no pun intended).
Currently which rom would provide me with a stable lollipop with regular OTA updates for future proofing my phone?
Thanks v much
Alternatively I guess I could go back to stock to get lollipop but haven't done it in a while Im guessing I just flash a stock image via odin

Those tensions don't really affect Cyanogenmod, though I understand your concern. However, the biggest issue you're going to have is that most - if not all - custom ROMs are built using Cyanogenmod as a base. Realistically, the only alternative available I can think of without going to Touchwiz is Danvdh/Kryten's GPE ROM. Going back to Touchwiz is a dead end. Samsung has stated that Android 5.x is the end of the line for the S4, meaning there will be no Android M unless using a custom ROM.

Thanks very much for the excellent advice. I will give Danvdh/Kryten's GPE ROM a go and see how I go. I'm going to post the link to the ROM thread if anyone is following the same route as me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557353
EDIT: I'm going to try http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-orig-develop/rom-cyanogenmod-12-t2943934 first as its CM 12 lollipop which is what I was looking for really but will try GPE if i dont like that rom
Another question... sorry: i currently have CWM on my phone but the CM rom says to use TWRP with F2FS does cwm have this or do i need to remove CWM and install TWRP?

Don't use that version of CM. It's not what you want because it's not updated anymore.
Use this version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...lop/exclusive-antaresone-alucard24-s-t3066696
or the Official nightlies.

I used the older one but realised too late (
got stuck with no gapps and the bloody thing wouldnt boot into recovery cwm or twrp :/ never had that before. so having to do stock flash It's failed twice LOL
EDIT: got it stocked well thats something at least. anyway tomorrow I'll try again and get TWRP on there properly, it was weird because cyanogemod had installed CWM on there before i couldnt get rid of it :/ so i ended up with no recovery manager doh! Thanks for the link Lenny

[Help] TWRP Flashable Stock Rom

Can someone gim'me the links of TWRP flashable Stock Rom zip File. Bcoz i m out of town and too far away from my PC. So any Help would be really apprieciated. Thanx in Advance.

Stock cannot be flashed with TWRP.

Surprised there's no slimmed down debloated stock roms here. (Or maybe I haven't found it)
Every phone I've had someone's posted one up.
The cm ROMs are great but cm always seems to decrease battery life.

I don't have it anymore. I suggest to anyone with a new G4, that is bootloader unlocked, to make a TWRP backup.
Bootloader mode:
"fastboot boot TwrpRecovery.img"
Wipe data
Backup.
That will give you a backup to restore to stock. I think that is what you are looking for?

Could you please upload it once you've made it, or link me to a guide on how to convert the factory image to a twrp flashable zip?
Thanks.

Please delete this post as I have got my answer. Thank you.

I just recently purchased a Galaxy Tab A t350 and noticed that there are no official custom roms available for this device. There is one unofficial Evervolve and it does boot and works "somewhat" but without a solid custom rom the only options we have are the factory firmwares flashed via "Odin".
While there is nothing wrong with using "Odin" as it is a powerful and much needed tool, a TWRP flashable zip of the stock firmware would be awesome. Preferably rooted, but I can always re-root the rom after flashing it with SuperSu.
My question is, how to take the stock firmware.tar and make a TWRP flashable zip out if it. Are there any good sources to learn from for doing this?
Thank you in advance.
Sent from my SM-T350 using XDA Premium HD app

I have searched an the only thing I can find is on older builds for like KitKat and jellybean. Nothing on MM. Or even N for that matter. I would just like to know how to do it my self. A link h to a good source would be a lot of help. But thank you anyways.

Please delete this threads as I have found the answer to my own question and have built my own rom. Thank you.
