I assume you have installed and run the SuperSU app at least once, obviously do so if you have not. Your next step then should be to install TWRP custom recovery. You can use Odin to install the tar file or the flashify app to install the img file (I did the img file option). Then you have your choice of Cyanogenmod 12 (lollipop) flavors:
PAC Rom LP
Cyanogenmod 12.1
BlissPop
My personal preference is BlissPop, it's stable and got a lot of different options to personalize your tablet. All the SM-T530 roms are compatible with the SM-T530NU (which is the model I own). You should also check out viper4android if you listen to music or anything with your tablet, and the adaway app if you like adblockers. Oh almost forgot, definitely install Titanium Backup if you haven't already, incredibly useful both for preserving app data and debloating.
If you prefer KitKat check out Cyanogenmod 11 and if you want to stick with stock touchwiz, check out this trimmed-down stock rom

I am really new to this, so I apologize if I seem ignorant. Last time I went down this road, I didn't do my research and accidentally messed up the stock recovery. I am now unrooted and running the following:
AT&T Galaxy S4
Android 4.4.2
Build: KOT49H.I337UCUFNC1
Here's what I want to do:
Root my device
Install SafeStrap recovery (I don't know if this is still compatible since the KitKat update)
Use SafeStrap to run a custom ROM that's closer to stock android. Maybe CM or something AOSP based. Like I said, I don't know much about this.
Please let me know if I'm barking up the wrong tree. I'm just getting really tired of TouchWiz. Up until now I've just been sideloading Google Now Launcher and some other stock apps like the Clock and Calculator. Once again, I apologize for my ignorance - I'm still working on learning more about this. Thanks in advance!

I don't know if you went down this road before since your questions don't show.
1. You can't install custom recoveries or roms on the build you have.
2. You can only downgrade to Mk2 to root since it's imposible to root on your present build.
On the general section there are a few threads that guide you to downgrade ,root, and flash compatible roms.

Not gonna happen, at least for now. The best you could do is PurifieD which completely trashes TouchWiz's theme. You'd also have to follow the steps here to get root on NC1. I'd advise against taking the bootloader but I believe you already have it if you took NC1 OTA. Then you could flash PurifieD over your stock slot in Safestrap 3.72.
Basically:
Root via downgrading to MK2
Flash rooted NC1 (no BL)
Install and boot into Safestrap 3.72, flash PurifieD (wipe not necessary)
If you wish to keep Knox happy with 0x0, do not let PurifieD modify the kernel during the Aroma installer
Flash an i337 build.prop in order to get 4G LTE working again (you have service without this, but this lets you access LTE again) (you can find this here!)
Flash the WiFi module in order to get wifi working again (WiFi will NOT work unless you flash this) (you can find this here!)
(Optional, I had to do this as I had issues with keeping root on PurifieD, though you might not!) Flash SuperSU again (you can find this here!
Feel free to ask for more help if anything was not clear!
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
Hello I'm new to the tab 4 t530nu and I recently updated / rooted and wanted to know what good stable roms are available for it?
What stable roms have you tried if you own this tablet?
Thanks!

I have the T530NU as well. First you'll want either TWRP or Philz (CWM touch) custom recovery. Then:
--Stock TW 5.0.2 Deodexed
--Cyanogenmod 12.1
--BlissPop 3.4 (based off CM 12.1)
--PAC Rom LP (hasn't been updated in a while)
I personally would recommend BlissPop 3.4, it's like CM 12.1 but with a lot more customization options, I really like it a lot. Unless you prefer touchwiz in which case go with that first one

? TWRP is working just fine, been using it myself this entire time. v2.8.6.0 is great
Download link since the main one is down. Tar file can be flashed with Odin, img file can be installed with Flashify (app on the play store)
Hello guys,
Please excuse my noobish question, but i need to find some good answer.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3, model number SM-N9005 with Android version 4.4.2.
The phablet is rooted thanks to Towelroot. And from there i install Titanium Backup and many others intersting stuff that need/or not root.
I enjoyed Xposed and i'm thinking i want to enjoy CyanogenMod also.
Now ... my problems is that i am very confused about what i have to do next.
And after i spent some time to research this, i've come here for some guidance because i fell that i'm running in circle.
My questions are :
Do i have to upgrade to Lollipop first ?
Do i have to unroot from Towelroot and root again with Odin ?
As i saw that steps are as follow:
1. Need root
2. Install TWRP
3. CyanogenMod (as i saw 12 is the last and it's good for my device)
Many thanks !

1. Unique way to update to Lollipop (if you are rooted) is via ODIN. I don't recommend you update anyway. I still with android 4.4.2.
2. No. Only flash the new firmware via ODIN and root it then with ODIN too.
3. I don't recommend you install CyanogenMod if you are noob.
If you do want CyanogenMod, you only need to install TWRP, and then flash latest CM-12.1 nightly build in recovery. You do need to wipe /data first, though which means you will lose your apps and settings.
Always make backups!

So why do you dont recommend to me to upgrade to Lollipop ?
Is Kit Kat better at this time than Lollipop ?
If i will update via ODIN, is there a better way to do that ?
And ... Still have my question about what if i'll unroot (and how can i do that safe) and root it by examples via ODIN and then follow others tutorials with TWRP and CyanogenMod. I'm not confortable via ODIN (but if i find some good, trusted tutorials, i want to try it) because as i told you before i rooted my phablet, the easy way via Towelroot.
2. No. Only flash the new firmware via ODIN and root it then with ODIN too.

If you want a CM rom just flash recovery with odin. No need to root. Then backup your phone and flash the CM rom. No need to upgrade to lollipop either.
However if you want a lollipop TW based rom it's better to upgrade to lollipop first. Nevertheless you can still try lollipop TW custom rom without upgrading to lollipop first but some functions may not work well.
If you can root your phone with Towelroot and you don't want to use odin to flash the recovery, you may do so by dd with terminal emulator.

Android andi has a ton of stuff on his github.
Home | OpenSource Development by Android-Andi @ XDA
http://andi34.github.io/
Download twrp manager and use it to install twrp. Latest version of andi's works with his newer Roms
Read andi's github. I think he has directions on how to flash Roms..
You got a pc? Odin is used to flash twrp/stock too
Yes mate. i downloaded a twrp file and odin few weeks ago, and its rooted the tab 2, dont know which recovery it was. but i downloaded a app called Root Check, and it said Tab 2 was rooted. i just need a decent flash so it dsnt mess up. need to have it above 5.1 .
Will have a look at the links
