I did some work on my sister's phone and I need some help. I am skilled in the art of crack flashing/rooting/and recovery...for other devices.
Her Verizon GS5 was on NK12 and I rooted/safe strapped and updated via the backup dump for 5.0 Lollipop in one of the threads.
I want to flash away at anything I can get my hands on though. Is that possible? What is possible? What are my options? DO I need to revert firmware to flash anything? Original or Android Development I am looking to flash a new ROM via safestrap or recovery.
Help needed / help appreciated.

Months ago I flashed my phone (AT&T S4 I337 running MLD baseband) to stock 4.3 ROM (JWR66V). I have TWRP installed as a custom recovery and the phone is working fine. However, I don't have root access when the OS is running. No sure why.
Anyway, I'm bored and there are a few nagging bugs, so want to give Cyanogenmod a shot. My questions for you are.
1) can I just download the appropriate CM release and flash it?
2) Do I need to reroot? If so, whats the best method for me?
If its really risky, I'm not interested. But if it's a matter of just flashing the rom, I'd like to give it a try. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
Hi everyone. My phone is rooted and has Safestrap Recovery. I've been anticipating the Android L update for some time and have been used the better part of my weekend trying to figure out how to get that experience. However I'm near my wits end and thought I might as well just ask the experts.
Has anyone tried or know of any way to try out the new update? I've tried a Cyanogenmod 12 rom with the Safestrap Recovery on a new partition or "slot" with no luck. I'd prefer some method that'll let me flash a non-stock rom so I can have the ability to tether (I'm on a T-Mobile sim card with an unlocked phone).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I have also tried a Lollipop ROM, specifically the GPE one, with no luck. We unfortunately cannot use Cyanogenmod, due to the locked bootloader which prevents using custom kernels (SafeStrap is like a workaround, with some limitations). It's only a matter of time before the official Lollipop update rolls around. By then, there'll hopefully be a Safestrap-adapted GPE 5.0 Lollipop ROM.
I read in the GPE thread that it uses stock kernel, but I'm not confident enough because I can't find any way to directly compare that statement with what's currently being used. I'm using flashfire rather than a recovery so I am trying to avoid soft bricking. Any help would be appreciated.
At&t 5.0.1 Stock Lollipop rooted
I'm pretty sure I saw that it was not safestrap-compatible, which would mean no.

Hey guys,
Was wondering if some one could point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it!
I have a modified Rogers Samsung Galaxy s4 with the following attributes and I want to upgrade to lollipop 5.0:
1)Ni2 BaseBand
2)Sim Unlocked
3)AWS Enabled (Currently on WIND network)
4)Running Stock 4.4.2 firmware, however has clockwork mod recovery.
5)Rooted with Odin r
I want to do a factory wipe as the phone is getting quite laggy an d then install a clean version of lollipop with one of those new roms on it (Goldeneye). My question are:
1)If I do a factory reset will I have to enable AWS again in order to work on WIND? Is it possible on that updated modem?
2)Can some one point me to the proper thread, I tried looking with no success of anything that aligns with my specific situation .
Thanks for your help
First first you néd to upgrade to stock lollipop via odin late root+recovery (twrp work fine) ●●●●
Hi everyone, I have question that I hope you can answer.
Today I flashed a Custom Recovery and Rooted my Note 3 SM N900. Everything is working fine, I rooted my phone in order to delete apps like trip advisor, s health among other apps. But I've seen that there are 6.0 ROMs for my phone. I've seen many tutorials and I would like to flash a custom ROM. (I'm thinking on flashing Resurrection Remix 5.1.1 for my SM N900). I already made my efs folder backup.
So, my question is this. When I decide to go back to a stock ROM (Lollipop Samsung Touchwiz the one I currently have) do I need to do something extra? Like, I would be able to flash a sotck samsung ROM through TWPR recovery for example? or what I need to do is just flash through odin?
Could you please tell me what I need to know on this cases?
Thank you very much! :good:

And What about the bootloader? Do I Need to unlock it if I want to install any custom ROM? I installed TWRP recovery on my phone, then I Rooted the phone. The steps that I've seen on the Internet to flash a Custom ROM doesn't have a step that unlocks bootloader or so.
Or the bootloader is unlocked since I rooted the phone? I'm confused. I really appreciated if you or someone could explain this doubt.
Thanks in advance. :good:
N900 is already factory bootloader unlocked

Using a bootloader unlock app could brick the phone. The only note 3 I know of with a locked bootloader is the AT&T Sm-900a.
