I'd like to find, if possible, a stock but debloated g900tuvu1cnk2 ROM. Something I can just flash and go. Leaving Touchwiz in is fine with me. I've been looking over the Tmobile Galaxy s5 development forum but haven't found anything. Any help finding this, if it exists, would be much appreciated; I did try Lollipop, but found it gave me problems while nk2 runs just fine for me. Thanks in advance!

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,
Ck

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 .

OK so I'm coming from the galaxy note 1 which I had no problems with due to the unlocked bootloader I presume and. I've been trying to figure out things on my own but I'm having trouble finding reliable information on some things and some other stuff I just don't know how to research even 1/10th as fast as asking about here. Any help or links to info are greatly appreciated. So I grabbed sm-n900v and not sure what may have changed since rooting installing SS and flashing alliance rom but rest of current info is kit Kat 4.4.2, N900VVRUCNC4, kernel version 3.4.0, hardware version N900v.07. Now the phone is unlocked and I'm using it on AT&T, I've got it all working with only couple issues. First I can't get any roms except alliance rom to work which is apparently related to kernel, baseband, firmware, or god knows. Then I've read some threads discussing either unified firmware or a leaked firmware being ideal and some stuff about certain modems/bootloaders/radios/firmwares/recoveries being better between NC2 and NC4 and even combinations working best I've followed some guides to just installing other roms but they don't work for me and have resulted in soft bricking so now I just need an full answer all in one instead of trying to figure it out from so many different sources. What modem/radio/bootloader/recovery/firmware/kernel should I be using to try out some roms keeping in mind I'm with ATT. Also should I be looking at ATT roms I assumed not to but figured worth asking. Also any other recommendations would be great I'm really just wanting a slim, stable, fast experience thanks for any help again.

Some use Verizon roms on att and t Mobil for roms on NC4 you need to Odin NC2 try looking up some instructions it helps. Safe strap is what you can use for recovery have busy box it's needed for it to work. Modems is for your signal I wouldn't bother. Firmwares are for ppl wanting to go back to stock mostly ect. But I'm sure the step you skipped was getting NC2 on there. Be careful before you do anything make sure your 100 percent sure or you can't have a bad day.

Hi guys,
I really hope someone can point me in the right direction here, I'd really appreciate it!
I've never had to ask for help before with flashing one of my devices, and have flashed hundreds of times with my previous phones, S3, S5 and Note3 .. However this one has me a bit stumped. I have the Note4 N910F and I see many awesome LP ROMS seem to require that you flash stock 5.0.1 via Odin before flashing the custom ROM.
I managed to do this successfully with the ROM listed at Sammobile called "Unknown 5.0.1 N910FXXU1BOC3 N910FTPD1BOC1" - Everything is OK, boots perfectly and I have cell signal and LTE. Rooting was also a non-issue. The problem I have though is that no matter which custom recovery I try, and regardless of ROM that I try, all seem to get stuck in a boot loop at the Samsung screen.
Am I doing or have done something horribly wrong?
Please help!
I think I may have answered my own question. The stock ROM I flashed was BOB3, it seems I need to be on BOB4, which is the German based ROM. Busy downloading that now!

Why can't you flash custom rom's with BOB3 installed?
Thanks
I'm sure this has been asked and answered, but my search through the countless threads has been frustrating and fruitless. My apologies for a likely rehash.
I have a GS5 for Verizon that's rooted using the towel root kernel. It has terrible battery life no matter what I try and I've confirmed it's not the battery itself. I am to the point where I either try a custom rom to get a different kernel in it, or maybe upgrade the phone. Can anyone recommend a rock stable rom with good performance, debloated, and excellent battery performance. I'm not looking for bleeding edge, just stable and battery longevity.
I'm leaning towards a resurrection remix rom currently, but I can't figure what version to go with or if that's a good choice.
I'm happy with this ROM (CQI4) and G900V firmware (DQI2).
This super-lite ROM is very nice too.
I'm just now working up the courage to do this. It looks like superlite requires marshmallow to be already installed. At that point, I'd also need to figure out how to get on MM without losing root. I can't tell if DevBase needs a certain OS or not.
After a bit more research, it appears that I probably need to upgrade to either Lollipop (5.x) or Marshmallow (6.x) prior to installing a custom rom. I'm currently on KitKat (4.4.4) and the guides I've found indicate that I may have issues upgrading to Marshmallow with root and not tripping Knox (currently 0x0). I'm not going to use this phone for work so I'm not sure that Knox is an issue but I have read that some updates don't work after 0x1 (upgrading the modem possibly).
I have found some guides, but I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction before I update something I can't undo. This is my only phone, so if I break it, I'm hosed. The battery is terrible, so I need to do something anyway, but bricking it isn't all that useful!
FWIW, I checked CID and I have type 11. And this is the guide I was currently looking at using:

Hello,
Sorry if this has been asked before but is there actually a custom ROM of the latest stock Samsung Touchwiz Lollipop 5.0.1 for the S4 i9505 but without all the bloatware apps that comes with it? A ROM without needing to root the phone would be very much appreciated.
If the ROM can't be found in the development forum, it probably doesn't exist.

I thought perhaps I could't find it and that someone else might know such a ROM.
There may not be much demand for a de-bloated stock ROM which is why such a ROM doesn't exist.
If you don't want to root the phone, you could try Titanium Backup and freeze apps you don't want running or loading when the phone boots.
