It's not possible, it would brick your phone.
So I would just have to flash vzn roms? Any rom u think would be best

Yes, only Verizon ROMS.
Binaries missing, so not completely rooted.
Hi, I have rooted my S5 g900f with chainfire method it was no problem. When I did a root checker it says that I'm not totally rooted cause my supersu miss new binaries. Supersu by chainfire appears and root only apps also, it's just that I can't give them su access. Could someone help me please cause I'm not a noob nor a nerd. Just a 40yo geek without big knowledge in binaries and roms, just know how to root but I learn step by step. Thanks in advance. Chris from Belgium.

I just recently rooted my Samsung galaxy s4.i purchased it the other day and it's running MK2 I was able to use safe root to do so. I also have safe boot installed as a recovery. My question is, how can I install aosp roms? I couldn't find any information on this. The only roms safe boot supports is stock. Where do I go from here? I am new to s4 so please be nice. Thank you so much.
You can't

Its to bad you didn't get the S4 back when it was released or earlier last summer when it was shipping with MDL firmware. This firmware allowed us to use loki and install any custom rom we want, including pure kitkat. Maybe you can trade your new one for an MDL one.
Well. ... Is there a way that I could downgrade my firmware and root from there?

I wish you could. Devices running MF3 firmware or higher blew an eFuse when they upgraded from MDL firmware. There is no way back. AT&T and Samsung are doing everything possible to make it so we can't root or flash custom recoveries. It's beyond disgusting how much AT&T goes out of its way to stop us from getting into our own devices.
I'd recommend not purchasing the AT&T branded devices from here on out. Let's hope that the international version of the s5 supports AT&T's LTE bands.
I was wondering, is there a locked boot loader on the Rogers Samsung Galaxy S4 (Canadian Version)?
I am wondering this because if I go to root my phone, it could brick it, and I wouldn't like that....
So, please help. Thanks.

to the best of my knowledge, it is the ATT version that has the locked bootie. You should be able to easily root your device using this file.
good luck!

Okay, I was just wondering because if i do root my phone, and it has a boot loader, then it will possibly brick it.
I also just want to make sure that there isn't a boot loader, so if anyone else has any knowledge, please post below. Thanks!

Well all phones have to have a bootloader. But I337m, which is the Canadian version, definitely has an unlocked bootloader. So you will not get any issues with CF Auto Root or anything.

A senior member shouldn't be asking for a step by step or whether they can flash a particular rom. Do your homework

Possible, do some searching. There are guides already available.

Lollipop rom: you have to wait until Samsung releases one for the AT&T S4.
I noticed the lollipop update is now available for the note 3. However I still want to keep root. I searched google and found this guide, but I'm not sure if its legit or works.

Not sure, but did you see Hsbadr post in android dev...it's a rooted stock lollipop rom
Pay close attention...that is for the N900 International N3 that does not have a locked bootloader.

It's not the international N3, as those are modeled "N900n" where n is a number. The N900 is a SIM unlocked US variant that works on GSM only carriers. (All US variants are N900(x) where x is a letter representing the carrier. No Carrier leaves x blank.)
*EDIT*
Just to reiterate, this won't work on the N900V
The point is it does not work for Verizon or Att with locked bootloaders.

If I understand correctly there is currently no way to install Janine ROM of you are already on lollipop right? I just bought a used note three but haven't gotten it yet to see which firmware is on it. In coming from a g2 where there were plenty of ways to root

If you're already on lollipop than you cannot root or flash any roms. You need to be on either 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 already rooted with safe strap installed to install the rooted stock rom
Oh so jasmine ROM is basically stock 5.0 with root? So basically I just need to flash his ROM and I'm good to go? I'm running 4.4.2 and have safestrap installed

Depends on what model s4 they have. Just look in the thread for you specific model on how to root and what ROMs are available
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
TextNow uses the L720T (TriBand) model. I know BC I have one lol. I rooted simply by flashing TWRP 3.0.2.0 for "jfltespr" off TeamWin's site via ODIN, then proceeding to flash the SuperSU zip inside recovery. However, word of the wise, if you're using TextNow Wireless, don't change the ROM!! You will lose the connection between TextNow and Sprint, meaning you'll have 2 different numbers and it messes stuff up. Fun fact in case you didn't know, TextNow S4s are SIM unlocked (GSM will not work in United States, CDMA will though):good:
