I noticed that inside the NC1 flashable zip that I got from the INDEX thread located in General, there's no boot.img. Is there supposed to be one in it? If there is I think i might've deleted it. Also, if is there a better Stock rooted 4.4.X (deodexed if possible) base rom? It would really help me out cause I'm begining to develop my own SafeStrap compatible rom.

Have you checked out ShoStock rom? It's a stock TouchWiz based custom rom.

I have a question about how to go about doing THIS and how/what to flash because the OP is kinda confusing -__-
So I'm purchasing my Sprint GS4 today (will be taking the trip to Best Buy in ONE HOUR)!! I just have a question... after I root my phone, I want to install the deodexed stock ROM so I can install a custom kernel/mods/theme/etc.! The OP of that thread confuses me a little though, it says that the zips don't include a kernel or firmware. Do I HAVE TO flash a kernel and firmware separately? OR can I just flash the "Download Deodexed with data wipe zip" and be good to go and ready to flash mods and all the goodies?!? ANY help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!

Basically the rom is MDL based but is packaged without the MDL kernel/firmware. So after flashing you will still have the stock MDC kernel and MDC modem/firmware which is fine (UNLESS your device when you get it is already updated to latest OTA, then it will already be on MDL). You can then flash a custom kernel if you wish however I believe at this time the only way to get the MDL modem/firmware is by taking the latest OTA.
So to answer your question, no, you do not have to flash a kernel and firmware unless a custom kernel is required for whatever mod you might be flashing (like Crossbreeder).
Hope this answers your questions.
Hello guys. I need an advice pls.
I flashed a galaxy s4 i9500 (international) with sokp Rom. (Aosp based 4.4 Rom)
Now I want to flash a pure stock 4.4 Rom. Which I never had on my device. I started with custom Roms from 4.2.2, moved to 4.3 and then the custom Sokp Rom. So I need words of advice.
Is there a flashable latest stock rom which I can flash in twrp? If yes, are the steps the same as flashing custom Rom?
Where can I get a link if such?
Thanks in advance.

You can flash through odin a stock rom from sammobile or a custom rom generated from stock from xda where you can flash the zip file you pput on the microsd card for i.e. with recovery. But original stock rom which might be used to restore original condition (for warranty reasons for i.e.) should be flashed with odin or kies.

You did not mention your phone firmware but based on your post, your firmware might be NB1 or NC1 since you said that you successfully installed the safestrap 3.72.
You did not mention which version of GE you flashed but I guess that might be GE28 or later. If you did, those roms are based on KitKat (android 4.4.2)
You flashed the hyperdrive15 which is written for jelly beam (android 4.3) based on the rom for the MK2 firmware.
GE rom installation for safestrap did not mention to install the rom in the different slot, so I guess you installed the GE rom in the stock slot.
Hyperdrive15 installation for safestrap mentioned to create/switch slot so you may or may not install the rom in the stock slot.
As far as I know, safestrap 3.72 does not support extra rom slot other than the stock rom slot. It appears that hyperdrive instructions were written for the safestrap 3.71.
May be that was your mistake.
My suggestion been odin the stock rom that corresponding to your firmware. Use tworl root to get rooted.

I do not know much about the Hyperdrive since I am a GE user. Also, Hyperdrive 17 mentioned that it would work for the ATT phone but 17 is posted only the Verizon forum.
For the ATT phone with NC1 firmware the steps for flashing the custom rom involves - 1)flash the rom, 2)flash the NC1 kernel module and 3) flash the supersu.
The correct compatibility pack might be referring to the kernel module, I guess. In that case, the pack for 15 might be written for the MK2 kernel module and it might not work with your NC1 firmware.

Yes. The kernel module is the att module needed to get WiFi working. It can be found after extracting the download from the deadly venom KitKat magic tool thread.

That is because discussion of sacs updates are NOT allowed on XDA. So it has moved to another location (website). More than likely this thread will be closed.

I saw on the dev subforum that you had trouble flashing the 4.4 super s4 rom. I couldn't reply there since I'm new here. But I had the same issue, couldn't flash with Philz recovery. I installed standard TWRP and that worked! Try that, if you haven't yet. I love this ROM! I should also mention that I have everything updated to NAE.

Finally l flashed super s4 ROM... With cwm 6.0.4.4 recovery.
But the sacs rom attracted me more because of Galaxy S5 theme and icons.
And Super S4 rom removed some stock apps that important for me like S Health app.
I fed up with flashing roms.
So i returned to unknownforce's stock nae rom and waiting for any new rom to make my s4 look like s5.
Would be nice if someone could supply a link. Not sure why it's not discussed on here and guess what... I don't care to know cause it ain't my business, but non the less I would like to check it out, so if someone could be so kind.
I do not know for sure what happened either but I do know that discussing this will result in making moderators a wee upset as Daniel4653 said above. However, if I were looking for Sac's Custom Rom and could not get a direct link from anyone, I think I would go to google and search for a key phrase but that's just me.
In android development in sacs custom 4.4.2 somewhere on some page is a link you might be looking for
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!

Try the unified section, im pretty sure there are roms and kernels made for our S4s, and compatible with all models.
Sent from my SM-T310
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.

Just out of curiosity, do you know for sure that roms meant for the i337 won't automatically work on this particular device? Eventually, I want to run a GPe lollipop ROM.

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
