Looking for some direction on what's next - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I was running MOAR for a while, took me forever to get it up and going, and that was early last year when I set it up....
All the bookmarked threads I have now are closed and have dead links.... and I've had to start over at least 5 times just to get to ne9.
I was able to get to NE9 with root, but now am having some trouble getting back to 5.0
Could someone point me towards a more current guide or how-to?
Also since its been so long, any suggestions for a ROM would be greatly appreciated - hoping to get xposed working on it as well.
Thanks and sorry for the ignorance!

I ve the unlocked version and it's rooted and everything. I just need help on getting my mobile hotspot to work. Somebody help!

Still possible to root my hero from 2.1?

Hi, I'm new to the forums and I'm sorry if this is a repost, but I was up until 3AM last night trying to figure this out and had no luck.
Yesterday I managed to root my girlfriends G1 and install a custom rom onto it. I had no experience with it before, but managed to do the whole process fairly easily. After using her phone as a guinnea pig, I decided to look up how to root my sprint hero. Heres where things get difficult. Nothing seems to be working :/ I think its because I updated the firmware a couple days ago to 2.1(eclair I think). Is it still possible to root the phone, possibly via downgrade? Every article I'm finding on how to do it is from january or so, so something recent would be greatly appreciated. I'm a complete noob to all of this, and any help is great.
follow the directions here

[Q] Been MIA from XDA for months. Need help figuring out how to get up to date!

Hey all
First and foremost I consider myself a noob. I still have no clue what I am doing with rooting/upgrading this phone - although, I read tutorials. I just need to connect the dots. It's like trying to help someone give birth via phone commands - it's successful, but I definitely might not be able to do it twice.
SACS custom Rom V7
software: MF9
And my android version is 4.2.2
I know I have to get up to 4.3 but since I am rooted, I heard if I did it through the prompt, I'd lose my data. Could anyone please help me get up to date? I want to deliver this child already!

[Q] Question in regards to stock rom

Hi guys!
So I too, like many on this forum started my adventure of rooting and throwing a custom rom on my device, because the grass is always greener on the other side, right?
In my particular case I threw CyanogenMod 11 onto my SM-N9005, and though it took a great many tries I finally did it, but lo'n behold did it bring an ocean of troubles to my device. I believe the whole issue is my phone has a bootloader 4.3, and the CyanogenMod 11 is KitKat 4.4.2. I am not sure if this is what is causing my trouble, but I believe it is. Both my wifi, bluetooth and MMS have all stopped working.
I know this forum is usually great at helping out people, as I experienced in my first thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50821847 ( Big shoutout to Rosli59564 who was being very patient and helpful! )
I've now fooled around trying to fix my wifi, but I've come to accept I simply cannot get it to work, and now wish nothing else but to go back to the stock rom for Note 3, bootloader 4.3 compatible. I really hope there is a kind soul out there, who could point me in direction of it, it'd be so very much appreciated!
- Sincire, the Dane.
- Edit -
To clarify.
I have the international model, SM-N9005
Bootloader is 4.3
I live in Norway, if that has anything to say.
- Double edit -
I am not interested in custom roms or anythign anymore. I just wish to get my device as close to stock as possible. I've found a ton of information about going back to stock rom, but they all talk as if I had 4.4.2 already, and that has me confused, as my bootloader is only 4.3, cheers!

Still need help with Reverting back to Kitkat on S5

So I posted a thread the other day to try and find help with my S5 I just got, yet no avail. So I'm here again, trying a new one to see if it gets me anywhere. The problem is this, I believe my phone is un-able to revert to Kitkat, because Kitkat was never on it in the first place. It came stock, out of the box with Lollipop. So I'm looking for anyway to get it to Kitkat, even if I have to brick the darn thing by removing the bootloader and everything on the phone to load in stock kitkat. So any advice or questions would be so very helpful. I'm going crazy trying to find a solution! Please help!

trying to get back to where I was

Hey folks. I was on rooted pb1 custom rom with unlocked bootloader. Ran into some issues, created a mess, and had to Odin back to rooted 4.4.4 ni2. I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to get back to rooted 5.0 pb1 on my own, and am getting confused. Seems like a lot of folks are bailing on this device, but I can't afford to yet. Can someone be kind enough to point me in the right direction. Any help would be appreciated.
Been looking at many old threads and finding a lot of dead download links. Can anyone just help me get started?
Figured this out a while ago, if mod wants to delete
