Hey guys. So i've been beating my head against the wall here, trying to search ( yes as in using google and the xda search ) for a solution.
I keep trying to flash stock based samsung roms, they would flash, but when i try to open the camera, it opens but it freezes and then comes back saying camera failed. So I wait about 10 minutes, and the camera works...but only for about a minute, then it freezes and then never opens again.
I've tried flashing all of faux123 kernels, only one worked ( 006-MDX ) but the camera still has issues and I can't seem to find any other kernels compatible with the I337M.
Anyways, I've now tried flashing a I337M firmware based custom rom and it boots but now there it just wont boot up at all, just gets to the samsung logo and sits there, I've tried flashing other kernels but nothing will help. I'm going to have to Odin back to stock, but I'm wondering what Kernels are ok to use with the I337M so that this doesn't happen to me again in the future.
Any help and I'll have my thanks finger ready
EDIT: Ok, so after some poking around, it seems that T-Mobile kernels work well with the I337M. Can anyone confirm this for me before I bork my device again? (currently doing an odin back to stock and re-rooting... =(
It is not wise to use other carriers kernels. Not a good idea. The att i337m kernels are just as good as the others. How would you benefit from it?
Btw the answer to your problem is you have the wrong kernel. Get into recovery and flash the kernel for your device.

9505 kernels work. Flash Adam kernel directly after flashing the ROM. If you still have problems with the camera, flash ROM, go into camera and let it update firmware, immediately flash Adam kernel then reboot.

Ya, I've done the whole adam kernel in the past, updated the camera firmware, everything was fine, but this time around, the firmware didn't need updating, at least i don't think so, considering the camera app launches, but sits at a black screen and then gives me a message that camera failed. it never tries to update the firmware like it did in the past. thanks though =)

I stand corrected, your device from the post earlier says you can use other kernels. what a concept.

Yeah us SGH-I337M users can use other device ROM's and Kenels. (Doubt not the 9500 because of hardware differences)
We pay for our unlocked bootloader in outrageous plans from our mobile providers though!
im in winnipeg here on the i337m rogers and have no problem with the kernal in my signature

I can imagine, I still have a g3 that is in working order with a sim, and it is cool to see the loader unlocked. although on the g4, as long as I can flash a rom, I do not care how it works. I am a happy camper right now.
Thanks for clearing up the kernel question I had, can use that info when helping others. Thanks.

I guess with LOKI you are still set, the biggest drawback with the locked bootloader is probably slower device reboots, as you see the custom screen?
Your welcome about the kernel question I always see you helping others. Fell free to toss me a thanks.

Again, sorry if this is in the wrong place but i dont know who else to ask but you guys.
I originally got my galaxy s4 (AT&T) when it first came out and couldnt wait to root and flash. A couple months later i had to do a warranty exchange just to figure out that it came preinstalled with MF3 (damn mf3) i ended up rooting and like most of you guy who arent/wouldnt be able to flash probably are bored. I then had to do another warranty exchange and when i powered the phone on i went to the more tab in settings and the "about device" was blue not yellow. I knew the phone was on an older firmware and i did confirm it to be on MDL (Sigh of relief) right away i started to root and downloading roms. i havent flashed any yet. My question is, on my stock rom (i am rooted) i keep getting a message. the the red and blue arrows for a new software (its that damn mf3) I DONT WANT IT!!! lol is there any way to stop it from asking me. i keep postponing it but i rerad somewhere u can only do that so much, im all nervous that im gonna wake up one morning and see MF3 took over my phone again lol.
sorry for the essay, if anyone has any info on how to stop it from asking that would be very much appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Dave
This should got in the QA forum. You can download a custom rom to get rid of the message or a freeze a few apps. If I were you, I'd get a custom rom, otherwise why would you care about not having MF3.

So if i do flash a custom rom i dont need to worry about it asking or updating on its own. i just flashed vision x ROM TW with Ktoones Kernel and i am loving the rom so far. But if i just keep a custom rom i dont have to worry about the update doing it by itself or freezing it?
Thanks to all the answers,
David

That is correct, good sir. If you froze the update apps/apks you will not be prompt for an update.
However, if you do end up odin'ing your phone for some reason, be sure to quickly block the update by rooting your phone and freeze once again. Odin removes root
Enjoy your custom rom as you are one of the lucky ones still on the old MDL update :good:
Ok, I know this isn't the Q&A forum, but I figured this was where the people that make the ROMs hang out and they knew what to do.
So, I have updated to NI2, I have root, I download the ROM, flash the kernal in Odin that each ROM asks I have on my device, have the most up to date safestrap installed, and I go to flash a ROM, I have tried 3 or 4 now, and I just can't get any to load. I wipe the phone, even did a full wipe after backing up pictures, etc. and still nothing. What am I doing wrong? Someone please tell me the regular step-by-step process that you guys do with this phone to switch ROMs. I'm not necessarily frustrated, just confused. I've only had my S5 for a few days and I've been out of the loop on flashing ROMs for about a year and a half, so I'm still getting caught back up on the advancements everyone has made to flashing. I appreciate the help you guys offer all of us non-developers, and hope to contribute something in the near future. Thanks.
Edit: Whenever I go to install a ROM it gives me this error
E: Unable to open zip file.
Error flashing zip '/external_sd/ROMnamehere.zip'

Sounds like a corrupt download. Download from a computer and transfer to your phone then try again.
Also, Dev sections are strictly for development.

Yeah the threads say to flash in stock slot typically so I do. Should I not be? Most of them say to.

No definitely flash stock slot. I've seen that error in the past but only on an older build of Safestrap.

There are a number of reasons why a download could get corrupted ranging from the source server, a server in between, the client (device), router, etc.
OP, check the MD5 using an MD5 Checker from play store. Most ROM threads contain the ROM zip MD5 for verification.
Hello!!
I am looking for a bit of advise/clarity I have used the CF-Auto-Root method, which has worked I now have SU and root checker has confirmed the phone is rooted. I would like to put a custom ROM on my phone to get rid of crappy bloatware and improve my phone performance but im struggling to figure out what to do next now I have reached "root" status.
I have the S5 SM-G900F on android 6.0.1
Sorry to bother people with my newbie questions but there are so many threads I dont really know where to go from here
Thanks in advance for for your patience !!

Simple answer for you would be: Alexndr devbase for the beginning. afterward you can customize more if you wish:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-ane4-kitkat-4-4-2-multi-csc-t2813628
To flash it you need to have a custom recovery installed. I recommend this one:
https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys5qualcomm.html
Flash the one dedicated for G900F and insta tar version with odin.
Like I have mentioned to the others in the J3 Emerge community, I had this done just didn't have the opportunity to upload it until today. This is a Deknoxed and Deodexed base for custom ROMs for users who are currently on the QI2 stock firmware. And since I did nothing but remove the odexes(including the one on the boot img iirc which is why it comes up with the typical custom kernel message on bootup) and removed Knox, I'm not posting this as a DevDB thread as Samsung did all the heavy lifting so to speak.
[url]https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745849072291691412[/URL]
And yes, this can be flashed as is but as always, you do so at your own risk. I will not replace your device and neither will Boost Mobile nor Samsung in the event of data loss, corruption, theft, fire, pod people, etc.
Please do not mirror this zip without express permission from me.
I believe this COULD be used on VMUS and SPRINT as well, but because I do not have the Emerge from those carriers. Also, from what I see it can only be rooted using SuperSU in Systemless mode or Magisk.

If you're not on QI2 when you flash this, it won't work. No idea how to fix it unless you use the QI2 ODIN package to "upgrade" which is found on AFH under the user the_yankee, iirc. Not at pc so can't verify this. Have stuff to do rn so can't get on one.

Thanks! that's exactly what i was missing, I guess i was using a different version before, flashing the QI2 first did the trick.
I think I will put together a set of zips that can be used to get any of the three we are all on,working on the various versions. All a user will need to do is pick their carrier and flash it in TWRP after first boot that way the system writes the csc directory. I will post you all a link when I get them built. They are sorely needed and long over due.
