[Q] Flashing Stock Rom by SafeStrap - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I have a problem with flashing new stock rom "G900FXXU1BNL9_G900FXEO1BNL1_XEO" by SafeStrap on my at&t s5. I downloaded rom from sammobile it is a zip file but when i try to install it by SafeStrap i have a error
"NO MD5 FILE FOUND".
After unpacked zip file with rom, there is one file "G900FXXU1BNL9_G900FXEO1BNL1_G900FXXU1BNL9_HOME.ta r.md5".
Someone know how can i flash this stock rom? or How can i convert this file to flashable by SafeStrap zip rom?
If it is bad forum section please move it, no remove.

Thags not safestrap flashable, and its also for the g900f, att is g900a wich has a locked bootloader, so even if you flashed it properly(through odin) it wouldnt work.

I know that it is for g900f but with safestrap make specialy for at&t s5 most of roms from g900f and another models should work normally in my g900a.
Any sugestion how can i do this ?

Pretty sure that is untrue, thats not how safestrap works.

Im sure that it will be work...devices is the same... only software is another and lock bootloader in at&t. I can flash any another flashable zip from this forum and problem is that i cant search zip version of this rom.
I have one suggestion haw can i do this...
I read somewhere that from recovery of system it is possible to do flashable zip. Maybe somebode have s5 without lock bootloader and can flash this rom via odin and make zip for me?
Or maybe another way?
Thanks

No one has an att variant without a locked bootloader, they are all locked. Where did you get these other flashable zips? If it was for the att s5 android development, those werw made to be flashed in safestrap, I think ankther variant's roms can be flashed but im not sure how it all works and its not the g900f. Either way, from the g900f or not, like i said earlier im pretty sure you have to flash in odin, safestrap cant flash firmwares, and even if it could, this firmware is for the g900f like ive also said(its the lolipop firmware, no?) and so you cannot flash it because the locked bootloader prevents it.

I flash via SafeSrap rom called "Omega" from this forum and rom CyanogenMod 11...it was working normally and they are for g900f and works fine in my g900a.
Yes this is lolipop...via odin i cant flash because i have locked bootloader...only via SafeStrap and flashable zips.

I dont understand how thats possible, everyone thats tried that has just gottena soft brick, and for a reason, locked bootloader limits us to touchwiz based roms, and CM11 is AOSP based, so theres no way it would work, are you aure youre using an att variant?

I dont now how its work too, but it was working...
I restored backup from safestrap and now i have at&t rom...

Im thinking you did something that made you think you flashed it and it worked, because it is not possible for it to work, theres no "i dont know how it worked" it literally cant. As has been said in the other thread you started, you can flash stock roms from other variants as long as its tohchwiz based and is 4.4.2, you cant flash lolipop because that is 5.0, and you cant do firmware updates through safestrap. So the answer to your question is no, you cannot get lollipop on your device as of now.

Ok i undestand...im sure that i have had CM11(4.4.2)...
Maybe you know where can i find stock rom from g900f with 4.4.2 android..

Is it really that easy to install custom roms?

Or am I missing something?
Flash custom recovery through Odin, flash custom rom?
No root beforehand, no unlocking the bootloader?
Thx :good:

Yeah international i9505. I know it's not simlocked, but I'm used to Nexus devices where you need to unlock the bootloader 1st (the same with Asus Transformer tabs) before one do anything.
So... I need to be rooted first before I can flash a custom recovery?
Yep you dhont need ulcoking bootloader just go t android devolpment and djembay thread you will find odin end rooted stock rom

probably because it hasnt been updaed in GooManager to support the L720T.
I believe there is a TAR file that you can flasg via ODIN. Philz has a great recovery that works and is based on CWM.

You can use any s4 rom I believe, but you will lose the Spark function of the T model if the rom doesn't support it.
Main thing, have a good Nandroid of your working touchwiz system, flash new rom, if you boot loop, nandroid back to your working system.
Before you install a ROM and after making a nandroid. Restore it to make sure it backed up correctly.

Make a note of your firmware and baseband as you may need to reflash to the correct firmware in order to have the best experience. I'm still on MK5. I have decided to be patient and wait. The spark is very noticeable compared to my s3 (i had).

[Q] Cyanogenmod installer confirmed working with AT&T GS4 SGH-I337?

The question is will my device work with the jflteusc version of the CyanogenMod Installer? I have a AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337. I heard of the new CyanogenMod installer and looked at the supported devices. I saw a jflteusc (US Cellular). I don't knoiw if it will work with my AT&T S4. I don't want to **** up my phone. I'm currently on 4.4.2 NB1 stock rooted. The website I am referencing is http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/CyanogenMod_Installer Any help would be great!

Did you use safestrap and deadly venom kitmat magic tool in install 4.4.2 stock rooted? If so, you cannot get CM to work.
Yes I did. If I upgrade to NC1 stock unrooted, would that work?

You have a locked boot loader that prevents from changing the kernel. So, no.

There has to be a reason why only ATT S4 is missing from the list, right?
Yea I downloaded the app and it said device unsupported
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Has anyone ventured to trying the installer in the unsupported mode? Is there a reasoning behind this and safe to try if I'm already rooted and TWRP? I thought there already was an ATT compatible build.

If your bootloader/firmware were MDB or MDL you could try it. Above that there is no exploit for the bootloader out yet so you can not install the CM.
Yes I'm on the same adventure with my sgh-i337. I'm going back and forth between MK2 and NB1 ROMs but cannot get MDL or MDB flashed at all. I got them from samfirmware and Odin fails. I tried kies and it says firmware available is MDL ... Well great, but then it says device not recognized!
I'm really torn between why is it we can get to MDL to flash CM?
Instructions:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_jflteatt
Edit: once updated to MK2 there is no going back. Bootloders are locked and that is the end of the story. No more CM or CWM recovery or Loki ... Just safestrap and custom ROMs.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Free mobile app
Just as a final reference for all: CM installer is not for the I337.
On MF3 and above, we have no exploit for ROMs and Cyanogenmod is not compatible with our stock kernel.
Even on MDB/MDL it won't work because you need Loki which the installer doesn't take care of AFAIK (if it were to even let you open it).

I'm Looking For A Custom Kitkat 4.4.2 Rom For My S4

I am looking for a custom KitKat rom 4.4.2. All the ones I'm finding will not flash successfully. The one I did find was messing up my phone modem (radio) and it was causing dropped calls and EDGE connection problems so I flashed it back to stock. I want a new custom rom without this issue that is rooted with Wifi/tethering.
I have the Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 model with AT&T.
I appreciate any help it I can get with this!

If you take the time to read like most of us have. You will find out that you can't flash custom rooms if you are on kit kat until devs find exploit, which is going to be very hard.

From what he says you could tell he is either on mk2, nb1 or NC1 which the bootloader is lock down and as most of us know we can only flash Tw roms.

I don't get that from his post. He wants to flash a kk custom rom and he seems to be able to flash roms which tells me he has a custom recovery.
Op, can you tell us what firmware version you're on?

[Q] Getting a version of xposed framework for Lollipop

I was wondering if there was a way to install xposed on my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 running a rooted version of lollipop or is it not possible due to the locked bootloader?
Thanks for any help,
Pettyfan45
Nothing to do with boot loader. It's a problem with how badly Samsung skewed ART. Xposed works on AOSP/AOKP Roms like cm12. LP 5.0.1 and below, but NO TOUCHWIZ BASED LP ROMS
