Hello guys,
Right now I got android 5.0.1 with knox.
I'm looking for a custom rom that looks like that:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It is importent it will be custom rom because I want to be able to instal xposed, and it has to be for android 5.0.1 or above, because from what I understood, knox blocks downgrade attempts.
If someone can help me I will appreciate it very much.
P.S
It should also support Hebrew(witch is right to left).
Hi,
Use this step -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=58985536
to downgrade. If your bootloader is locked, you can't downgrade nor root it.
But, instead following download ARO firmware, download Stock KitKat firmware from your phone region.
But, since Xposed is supported on Lollipop firmware via arter97's one, I suggest you to flash one of deodexed custom ROMs and install Xposed on it.

First of all, thanks for your help.
I didn't quite understood though - should I follow the guide you gave me but with Stock KitKat from my region , or with a costume Lollipop ?
Personally, I really like the layout I showed in the image, just need to be able for it to support exposed.
The kitkat layout and lollipop layout on touchwiz are pretty much the same, only the colors are different.
If you don't want to go through the process of downgrading, then just flash a custom touchwiz rom. There are couple in the android development section. Take your pick. Make sure it is deodexed.

Do you have any good recommendations? I prefer rom which don't have all the junk apps and "s finder" and such..
I'm not a fan of toucwhiz roms. There are 3 or 4 of them here on the forum. And there also is Echoe rom which left xda but they still have their own site. Just google them.

Because you are on a 12 baseband as shown above, did you install the Rom with Patch R1? If so, that is based off a 24a baseband, you need to upgrade to a full kitkat stock rom first.

Sorry, again... noob here. Since then I've gone back to stock 11a using tot with root and custom recovery. So I have to flash a KK rom first before using Mahdi? Is there one you'd recommend?

If you are using the Mahdi rom with the R1 patch, yes.
Below is one with clear instructions.

The picture shows stock recovery.
To flash a bootloader you need the bootloader tar file and flag it as bootloader (bl) with pc version of Odin.
And it has to be done in download mode. Not in recovery mode.
My tapatalk signature:
Phone: SGS5 (SM-G900F)
ROM: AllianceROM v4.1
Kernel: Stock G900FXXU1ANE2
Recovery: PhilZ-touch
If you have any question about or any issue with your SGS2, just ask in the New members friendly Q&A thread.
... for the SGS5, just ask in the Noob friendly S5 All in one support thread
If you need general help/assistence, please go to XDA-Assist.
For flash custom ROM/kernel you need custom recovery (CWM, Philz or TWRP)
Best ROM is not allowed on XDA.
Stock FW you must flash via Odin

There are some "work-in-progress" ROMs in the unified dev section which may rn on your phone ... but they seems not to be that stable yet.
I think you have to wait a little bit for stock-based ROMs. I heard that NeatROM will be available for the G900H soon.
While waiting finished rom for g900h, why dont you debloat your stock roms using titanium backup. There are a lot of stuff to freeze and it makes your s5 really faster.

Hello, I had recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 off a local used phones seller for cheap. Now I am confused on which official stock ROM it should be running.
I come from a fairly easy section of XDA, The Moto G and Xperia Z sections, hence I find it really confusing to get the right firmware..
My main intention is to get to the proper firmware and update it to the latest available. I think my phone and Firmware don't match right now so.
Here is what details I have of this Phone:
Note : I have also found out that some users who bought a Galaxy S4 from eBay or local classifieds also have this problem, having a different firmware from the model they have.

From the info you posted, looks like you have an SGH-I337 with nb1 bootloader and with a custom rom installed from the I9505. The current OS is 4.4.2.
The latest AT&T stock firmware is 5.0.1. To return the phone to fully stock, you need to flash the stock nb1 (4.4.2) firmware, then upgrade to nj4 (4.4.4) or oc3 (5.0.1). You can get everything you need from [GUIDE]Odin to Stock, Updating, Rooting, and Installing Safestrap.
Before you decide whether to put Kitkat or Lollipop on it, you might want to read this thread.
@creepyncrawly Thank you! Just the answer I was looking for, was really worried about which stock ROM to flash. I have also found out that some people who also buy a used Galaxy S4 from eBay face exactly this.. a device with the wrong F/W. Anyways thanks I will update where necessary.
Edit : Will changing ROMs trip Knox? I can see mine isn't tripped yet (0x0)..

Flashing stock will not change the knox flag. It's most likely irrelevant, because the phone is surely not still under warranty.
@creepyncrawly So will reverting from OC3 to nj1 flag it? I have a friend who wanted to know.

@creepyncrawly Alright, Thanks alot!
I want to install a ROM of the latest android version. I installed a custom ROM a long time ago, I honestly don't remember what I did. I think I used "wug's tool" or something like that. Here's what my phone says:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
Where it says GT-I9505G, I don't think it said that originally, when I got this custom ROM it changed to that. It's an AT&T phone (U.S). I'm not very knowledgeable about this, I usually just follow tutorials.
So what method should I use? Any tutorials, links? ROM recommendations?
Thanks.
It's important to know which bootloader is on the phone before flashing anything.
I suggest installing Samsung phone info app from the play store to find the version. Once you know the version, then you can decide how to proceed.

Thanks. I checked, it's the same as the Baseband version you see on the pic.

Add screenshots of the app to check it better.
Since he already flashed a custom rom, I don't think the bootloader is locked anymore.
In theory, you just need to flash a custom recovery (TWRP recommended) then you should be able to flash pretty much any I9505 roms.
I agree that it is unlikely that the bootloader is locked but I believe it is always good to know which bootloader is on a phone before flashing anything.
if Wi-Fi or network signal isn't good on any new rom you try you'll need to change the bootloader if you want to update the modem/baseband.
I installed the latest version of TWRP since mine was outdated. I did a full wipe as instructed in the ROM's page but TWRP refuses to install the ROM after. I keep getting "Updater process ended with ERROR: 7" "Error installing zip file [location of my file/file name]". I am without OS.
What rom are you trying to flash?

Got it. It was not the right ROM for my device.
How do you check to see what version bootloader you have? I have unlocked my bootloader on my Note 3 and am running OF1/5.0. Ready to install TWRP and new ROM. But, not sure if I have a 4.3 or 4.4 bootloader and can't seem to find a simple answer and how to confirm.

This is what you'll get... In my case.. NC4 bootloader (unlocked) and OF1 based OS (Jasmine ROM)

Thank you for the recommendation. I dig the app, though I still don't know which bootloader I have going by the 4.3/4.4 scale. I'm assuming by now I have the most current one, which ever one that is, because I installed the latest TWRP and am running CM13 with no issues thus far.

The last 3 digits represent the OS/bootloader/firmware versions. In my case, bootloader is NC4 which is 4.4.2, my baseband (modem) is NK1 which is 4.4.4 and the ROM base is OF1 which is 5.0
