Where should I be looking to read about stable custom roms for my recently bootloader unlocked verizon gs5.
I need a little more education about flashing different firmware etc.
Thanks for the help.

Okay awhile back I found a thread on the net to root the Galaxy S4 and change it to pure Kitkat. The only problem was it wasn't made for my phone, I think it was for another variance of the device. With that being said I want to try again and another site someone mentioned a ROM called AOSP....Is there a dummy-proof way of rooting the device and adding this or another ROM onto my ATT Samsung Galaxy S4?
I appreciate any assistance. I am somewhat familiar with rooting as I've rooted my older Droid X awhile back.
Thanks

Be careful that you know what you are doing before flashing roms to your phone. You should post more information about your device when asking a question (I.e. what carrier and firmware ,mdl, mf3, or mk2).
If you are on any firmware before the mf3 version(mdl) you can easily install a "custom recovery" like twrp or cwm to your S4 but the versions after would require a mod called "safestrap" to be installed which have a modified version of a custom recovery. It is similar but not the same.
Read around first to understand more. You may be lucky and have the version with an unlocked bootloader and that allows you to flash roms, kernels, and more.
But if you have the locked bootloader you can easily brick your phone and would need to odin back to a firmware and lose your data. Just look in settings>about phone and look at the last 3 letters in baseband.

Please read the forum before posting.. Your laziness is not respected if you want to root your device then you need to be able to research what your doing before you do it especially if you are on the xda forum... Look up the method to revert back to mk2 and then you can root for nb1 there is no method yet... And you cannot get the stock android experience which is aosp.

So I've normally been good at figuring stuff out on my own when flashing custom roms, rooting, etc but it's been awhile since I've messed with it and it seems things keep getting tougher (or maybe it's just me). Anyway here is the story... I am currently running JasmineROM (Android 5.0 Lollipop) on my Verizon Note 3 (SM-N900V), but I was considering upgrading to a version 6 Marshmellow rom like Temasek. One problem is that for some reason, I never installed a custom recovery so I am not sure how to proceed. I guess my questions are:
1. Do I need to downgrade to Kit-Kat somehow to install TWRP, and if so, what is a good guide?
2. What is the best, fastest, bloatware-free Marshmellow custom rom out there for SM-N900V right now?
3. I looked at the installation instructions for TWRP and it says to only use a specific version depending on whether your bootloader is the upgraded kit-kat version or not. How do I know this? Would it be updated since I'm using a 5.0 rom?
Sorry for the noobish questions and thanks in advance for any help!
Easy answers:
1 you can not back rev to KitKat
2 you can not install any custom recovery until you unlock the bootloader
3 you can not install any version of Marshmallow until you have installed a custom recovery because there is no official Marshmallow for the Verizon Note 3
Look in this forum for how to unlock the bootloader.

a. Unlock bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...l/official-note-3-verizon-bootloader-t3359370
b. Install TWRP ( I used 3.0.2-0 ) the easy way: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jmz.soft.twrpmanager
c. Install CM13 ( This is the only MM ROM I could get to work on the Verizon network) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...opment/rom-temaseks-unofficial-build-t3364382
Thanks for the help! I managed to figure it out myself after realizing I needed to unlock the bootloader. Thanks for taking the time to post!

idk if miui works with a verizon sim card but im currently running miui v7 and is the most stable, battery lasting, etc etc rom ive tried and i have tried almost all of them

Hello XDA. I bought a g900v a while back to use as my main phone and didn't know at the time that Verisucks locks bootloaders. I really want a stock Android ROM, whether it be LP or MM. I know MM roms can't be rooted on Locked Bootloaders, so preferably CM12. As far as I know for CID11 users we can't use any ROM's except for TouchWiz Based ROM's, which is very disappointing, but I just wanted to confirm this. I really want to get rid of TouchWiz since I'm in love with stock Android. Thanks for reading

Will this work for locked bootloaders? IE the Verizon S5 G900V?
Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
Problem with locked bootloaders is you can't have root but you can install the rom
At least this is the consensus for mm ROMs on locked boot loader
There is no consensus yet for what happens on a lollipop custom ROM on locked bootloader
I can try it first if you like I'm really curious!

IT IS NOT GOING TO WORK. You are just bricking the device for nothing. You will get something like this:
Code:
SECURE CHECK FAIL: BOOT
DON'T TRY IT. You are wasting your time.
well for once lightning you are correct it didnt work its aosp i made the consensus so yeah.
But really the only time you hard brick is when you flash bootloaders or protected partitions on a bootloader locked device.
but boot,system,cache and recovery are not protected and can be flashed on even a bootloader locked device using flashfire.
and when you are bootloader unlocked you can flash every thing but bootloaders in flashfire so learn what you are talking about
and hard brick is very easily recoverable
I recently aquired a bone stock AT&T S4 (SGH-i337, Baseband: I337UCUAMF3), and I would like to install CM13 on it.
Can I follow the instructions laid out in Cyanogenmod website (https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_jflteatt)
or should I follow the ~20 step process laid out here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/how-to-installed-custom-lollipop-rom-t3135396)
Any guidance will be appreciated. TIA
Is the bootloader unlocked? If not, you won't be able to flash CM13.
MF3 comes with locked bootloader. So, no CM

That's a bummer.
But is SafeStrap a possibility? I hear it also means I'll be able to install only restricted set of custom ROMs. I might just give up
With a locked bootloader, custom ROMs are limited to TW-based stock ROMs.
I'm unlocked bootloader and most note 7 roms require mm bootloader. can I flash a new bootloader without locking the bootloader. if yes please provide me with a nice bootloader and a modem that is suitable for most roms. answer please
