hello,
could anyone write me a tutorial what all is neccesary to apply e.g. Echoe Rom to my fully stock 4.4?
recovery is always standart, even tried to apply a custom via odin but its ALWAYS standart recovery.
And what's wrong with the instructions on the rom thread ? Google can help you too.

Read the guides that are linked in my sig...
First read the one that explains how to install a custom recovery.
Then read the how to flash roms guide.

I'm extremely new at rooting and flashing roms, so please excuse my ignorance. I have a Verizon Note 3 SM-900V. I'm running Android 4.4.2 and my Baseband version is NC4. I've rooted it using"TowelRoot" and have installed Safestrap 3.72. I've booted into recovery partitioned slot 1 and wiped it. Then I installed HyperdriveRLS7.zip I hit reboot after it says it's finished installing the rom. Whenever I try to boot into the rom (slot 1), my screen goes black and my blue LED light stays on. I also tried flashing the rom named "hltevzw.Jellybeans.zip" and it does the same thing. Am I doing something wrong or is anything incompatible with the other? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

First of all you need to know that you cannot use rom slots on NC4 only the stock slot. You can use the stock slot to flash custom roms.
Second you need to update you firmware to the so-called unified firmware which is simply what you currently have and the NC2 kernel which can be found here. Just follow the instructions and you'll be good to go.
Third you should upgrade to Safestrap 3.75 found here.
If you have soft bricked your phone (this will be the case if after pulling the battery you cannot boot into Safestrap, you'll need to flash the stock firmware via odin which can be found here, reroot, and then follow the above directions.
Now once you get all this taken care of you can flash a custom rom. Any rom based on NC2/NC4 will work, however any rom based on any earlier firmware will not work and may softbrick your phone, Jellybeans being one of them. Make sure you read the OP (Original Post) before flashing anything. Know what you are flashing, if you are unsure there are many many forum posts to read through that are full of info.
If you have any other questions just ask.
Many Thanks!
Glad to help.
I have purchased a Moto X. Do you have any knowledge on flashing roms on it? I hate to be a bother.

Your baseband is OC3 so you have OC3 modem. What is your bootloader?
If you bootloader is newer than MDB or MDL you can not install the custom recovery like CWM or TWRP. You are limited to Safestrap or Flashfire for flashing the custom rom.

You have a locked bootloader so you option to install the custom rom is limited to using either safestrap or flashfire.
This guide explain how to install custom using safestrap.
This guide explain updating, rooting and using safestrap. It is also useful if you screwed up and bricked your phone while flashing or tweaking.
Flashfire is newer thing and there is no separate guide written for how to use it but you can find the flashfire instructions in the custom rom that is written as flashfire friendly.

My first reference explains all the steps starting from the Kitkat NB1.
Since you'd already have OC3 and rooted you need to follow the step #4 Install your CUSTOM Lollipop ROM . step 4.1 explains how to install safestrap. 4.2 explains how to invoke safestrap and 4.3 explains how to install the custom rom.
I did not see OC3 to NJ4 that you were referring to though.
This thread is for installing S6 port using either safestrap or flashfire. I am just showing you as an example how to install the custom rom.

I recommend you to do all process from NB1 to OC4/OK2 keep root (Avaliable on the INDEX) bcuz I was lazy and used kingroot to root OC4 and when I finally was into safestrap it doesn't flashed any ROM and was just a waste of time.

Proceed at your own risk. I'm not responsible for any damage caused to your device
First we must put all the archives we will need on the SD card (Stock rooted OC4, the Custom ROM we want, OC4 modules, OC4 kernel and all we gonna need)
Make sure to read this complete, understand it and then proceed
1. I used Odin to flash back to NB1 (the rootable one)
2. Rooted with TowelRoot and installed SuperSU and FlashFire directly from PlayStore (worked for me).
3. Opened Flashfire, granted root permissions and did the Muniz_ri Keep Root Method (4.4.x to OK2) but instead of using OK2 replaced all OK2's with OC4 files because I couldn't find the OK2 modules and will be needed to flash custom ROM.
4. At this point we have OC4 rooted so we just install BusyBox (install the 'things'), then install Safestrap and inside the app install the recovery and at last install the NC1 app flasher.
5. We will automatically reboot into Safestrap recovery and there we just have to wipe (all except SD card) then we proceed to install the ROM (if the ROM has aroma installer at the end we don't reboot into system we have to go back to recovery), after modules and at last we flash (install) the Kernel (we re using OC4 base so modules and Kernel must be OC4 too).
6. From here we just have to wait, and the Safestrap robot will appear like 4 times, we just press continue and deodexed custom ROMs will take about 15-20 minutes to do the first boot.

Hi,
I'm currently using a custom rom on MM and am looking to move to Nougat however there are so many different posts flying around about how to do this so am a little confused.
Is it as simple as finding a custom rom I want to flash and using TWRP to flash the rom and Bootloader or do I need to use Odin to flash the bootloader and then re-install TWRP and root and then flash the custom rom?
Any step by step guides would be appreciated I am looking to use Super Stock ROM if I can.
Thanks,
