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,

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.

Currently, im rooted and running a custom rom and recovery on my ATT S4 with MDL. I'd like to return to stock rooted with the option to flash custom roms in the future. I know there have been a lot of changes recently with the various versions so I would also like to update to the safest and latest firmware possible(still be able to flash custom recovery and rom if I wanted to in the future).
So... What would be the best method to go about returning to an updated stock rooted state with the ability to flash roms and recoveries in the future?
I've been searching all morning but can't find much info on working with MDL. Can anyone point me in the direction or offer any assistance?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance :good:
Go to sammobile.com for the mdl firmware. You'll download a zip, extract the .tar.md5 file from it and flash that in Odin. After you do that the phone will want to update to the newest firmware so look for the files to delete or flash a custom rom. It'll also wrote the device so backup first

Great. Thanks a bunch but I will no longer be rooted after flashing stock through ODIN correct? Should I use CASUAL from there to regain root and a custom recovery? Also, how would I update to a newer firmware after that? One that is "safe" or least problematic?

You will lose root. CASUAL will still work and you'll still be able to use twrp or cwm. For newer firmware you're going to want to flash a custom rom based 4.4.4. You don't want to update your firmware as you won't be able to use twrp or cwm any more

(I'm kind of new to flashing Custom ROMs and thing like it)
I would like to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/bsfreelollipop5-0rombok3based-t3292572 ROM and when ever I try flashing it with SafeStrap it errors went flashing, so if anyone could help me with a step by step guide to flash it that would be great.
(I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370 to root, I'm on PB1 Firmware)

There's a whole instruction thread written by jrkruse on this very topic.
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
if so i made a couple of threads about miui and how to install on vzw
Just got a s7 edge g935v after my note 4 died on me.
I just finished rooting stock nougat now wondering what custom rom to go with.
From what I read the g935F rims and install instructions work with my model?
Any suggestions on the most stable rom to go with? Thanks
Also read there's no xposed framework for us to use?
Edit: also is there a working custom recovery? Or use flashfire to install roms?

mmk new issue. lost root. went back through to the steps to reroot. phone wont boot but can get to download mode. tried files supplied in this guide to go back to stock but odin fails every time https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039
EDIT: guessing the files in that guide are out dated. gonna try another firmware to get back to stock. from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/firmware-verizon-s7-edge-t3344092
EDIT.....again. this firmware worked . back to stock
Bro your bootloaders are locked. So you can't have a custom recovery or custom roms(well you can have stock roms bt I don't really count those.). So if you want custom roms and recovery and all that cool stuff if you can take back your 935V and get an international model.
That's what I figured. Hopefully someone figures out an unlock for this. No point in root for me without getting xposed frame work. Really missing my note 4 at this point.
Thanks for info.

Did you root your phone after flashing on TWRP ???
