Hi all,
I recently brought a S4 SGH-I337.
I'd like to know if there is any way to install LineageOS 14.1 or OctOS or Legacy Android 7 on this phone (without bricked it )
Now i've downgrade from OK3 to NB1, then root with towelroot and install Safestrap.
Thanks.
The i337 has a locked bootloader; therefore, installing lineage is not possible. You can only install roms that work with safestrap.
Thanks
Ok thank you,
After reading all these tutorials, that's what I thought.
Tant pis !

Hi, I'd like something cleared up. I have a Verizon Galaxy S5 running Kitkat 4.4.4 which I have rooted. I was wanting to flash this Liquidsmooth ROM on it. It says it supports it, right? But how do you install this ROM if the locked bootloader keeps you from installing TWRP or CWM Recovery? Can it only be installed on the developer edition? I can't seem to find a definitive answer.
Thanks in advance.

It says in the OP the ROM is AOSP based, which means you cannot flash it on the retail Verizon version. It can only be flashed on the Developer Edition Verizon variant.
Ok, that's what I was thinking, but wasn't sure. Thanks for your help!

I was wondering exactly the same thing. I'm a total noob, I've never flashed a ROM. I rooted Verizon Galaxy S5, w KitKat 4.4.4. I wondered: if Lollipop kills Safestrap, how am I supposed to recover from a inappropriate Lollipop ROM? I was so frustrated by this question, I just bought (a cheap, mint) Developer Edition Samsung Galaxy S5. Now what? I would like to flash ROMS on my new phone , have found threads to do so, but the general question remains: what ROMS are right? Can the Developer Edition (DE) take any ROM that a non-Developer Edition can take? Can the DE S5 take ANY AOSP ROM? Such as CM 12.1? And to phrase the question for those with the non-DE S5 - how does one recover from a bad Lollipop ROM, if one cannot install recovery on a locked bootloader Verizon S5? -- and if one cannot use Safestrap (because I thought Safestrap was broken in Lollipop). Does one have to downgrade to KitKat to fix an incorrect ROM situation? Lots of questions, I'll research, but these still remain. Thank you!

A developer edition cannot run Roms for the retail edition. You will lock your device. You can backup your phone or flash something else by using Odin to flash a kernel of an earlier build such as nk2. This will bring safestrap back up.

I wouldn't suggest installing roms based off retail firmware for the de version as it'll probably lock your bootloader. Developer editions can take any aosp rom made for the kltevzw, and any rom that isn't based off of retail firmware, for that matter. Safestrap doesn't work on lollipop, but if you want it to run all you have to do is flash a kitkat kernel on odin and safestrap will work again, ths system will not, however, unless you install a lollipop kernel.

Are there any AOSP ROMS based on CM12.1 that are semi-stable? I saw the one by albinoman887 , but that one does not yet seem stable, and since I am a n00b, might not be a good idea to flash it.... Are there any other ROMS for Samsung GS5 kltevzw phones with unlocked bootloaders that you know of?
thank you!

I am too unfamiliar with the developer edition. I wouldn't want to mess up your phone.
Hello all,
I recently installed 5.0.1 rooted on galaxy s4 I337 using muniz's method and had some questions?
The main reason I rooted was to try to get xposed so I can edit the ui, I understand that it is not working on samsung devices right now, but when it does work, I understand the only way to install it is using a custom recovery.
Since I have a locked bootloader and am on 5.0.1 I don't think there is a way to get a custom recovery on here, correct me if I'm wrong.
How would I install the xposed framework? Will flashfire be able to load it?
Also, if I were to revert back to the stock NB1 build, can I re-root and install clockworkmod (would LOKI work then?) on it and then go to a custom rom like cynogenmod or are there problems with this because I already have updated all the way to 5.0.1? (I've done this rollback through ODIN before and it's not too bad.)
I'm new to android modding so this has been a learning experience.
Thanks
Once upgraded to the locked bootloaders, there is no going back to loki. You can downgrade from 5.0.1 to 4.4.2, but you can only use safestrap recovery, and only touchwiz based firmware. Also, safestrap doesn't work on 5.0.1 yet. From what I have read, with 5.0.1 you'll have to wait and see what the developers come up with. If you care to learn more about the history of bootloaders, there is lots of info in these forums.

If xposed ever is updated to support Lollipop Touchwiz, you'll be able to flash it using Flashfire or using the Safestrap workaround (flash 4.4 kernel so you can get into safestrap, flash files, then flash 5.0 kernel). There's no way to go back to CWM or TWRP past the old MF3 4.2.2 update, which has long come and gone now.
Hi, I need some help with the towelroot method for rooting a AT&T Galaxy S5. I'm currently on Android Version 5.0. When I ran the v3 Towelroot I clicked on "make it rain" and then it said "Device not supported". I tried using the modstrings but they didn't work either and kept saying the same thing. I'm new to the whole rooting thing, I just need some help from experienced on how to fix this. Thanks for the help.
Towelroot does not work on 5.0 Lollipop, only 4.4.2
The ATT version of the GS5 has a locked & encrypted bootloader, so rooting is not possible with lollipop at this time. I'm not even sure if you can install safestrap on the ATT GS5 running 5.0.
visit the ATT GS5 development forum to get the latest info on your option.
I have the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4
Android Version 5.0.1
Build I337UCUGOK2
I've already unrooted it.
My question is, can I install custom roms to it?
I read somewhere on xda that I can only install roms based on the base one using Safestrap.
I really wanted to install cyanogenmod, but on the page there's the warning ''you must be on build I337UCUAMDB or I337UCUAMDL or this will not work''
Any help would be appreciated.
Not possible without unlocking bootloader
I am in the same boat. Unfortunately at the moment there is no way to get CyanogenMod from OK2. I have spend so many hours trying for the same. The conclusion is that the bootloader is locked and there is no known method to unlock the bootloader on I337 yet.
Hello everyone,
Sorry if i'm opening this thread to wrong place.
I did a few search in this forum but i couldn't find anything for Lineage OS rom for SGH-I337M (Rogers)
Is Lineage OS (Formerly known as CyanogenMod) even supported on SGH-I337M model? Cannot find any build for "jfltecan". I just don't want to flash wrong rom and end up bricking the phone. Also can I flash "jflteatt" or "jfltexx" Lineage OS rom to my "jfltecan"? Beside Lineage OS ROM, is there any good rom based on Android 7.1.1/7.1.2 that can be used with this phone?
Here are the information's of my phone:
Samsung S4 Rogers
Moel: SGH-I337M
Android 5.0.1
Basband: I337MVLUGOH1
Any help would be appreciated.
You can flash twrp for the i9505 and then flash roms for the jfltexx.

Bro, are you sure that i can flash the i9505 into i337M? See the following post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2264885
I've done it on my i337m. It was a while ago but it worked. The thread you linked appears to be talking about a stock 9505 ROM on a i337m.
You can use twrp for i337m and edit the updater script in the 9505 ROM to include the jfltecan.

Can i flash the following LineageOS 7.1.2?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...p/jdcteam-optimized-cyanogenmod-14-0-t3479888
PHP:
I have downloaded the "Optimized-LineageOS-14.1-20170507-Stable3.zip" and verified that the jfltecan already exist in the Optimized-LineageOS-14.1-20170507-Stable3\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script so i guess i don't have to modify anything. Can you please confirm.
No need to change anything since the Canadian s4 is included in the updater script.
Using jfltexx TWRP on SGH-I337M
Dear ixdadev,
I have the same Samsung device from FIDO in Canada.
I have flashed the jfltexx version of the TWRP recovery on my SGH-I337M device without a single problem.
Then I flashed the Lineage OS 14.1 (jfltexx version) onto the device without single problem.
I have also tried on the jfltecan version of TWRP on the same device but it then rejected to install the Lineage OS 14.1 (jfltexx version) or Resurrection Remix (jfltexx version). I believe the Recovery needs to match with the OS that you are going to install onto it.
Hope this help and sooth your concerns.
Regards,
Alan
