[ROM][4.4.2][TW] 100% stock 4.4.2 kitkat P5220 [Deodexed+Rooted build also available] - Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development

This is a 100% stock flashable zip of the recently released 4.4.2 firmware for the P5220. As it is 100% stock, it is fully bloated, odexed, and non-rooted. If you wish to attain root you can do so by flashing superSU-2.02 zip from chainfire. As of right now, no other root method appears to be working, including towelroot.
Download link below.
A deodexed + rooted build is also available.
NOTE: if you flash the deodexed version and have problems with root, flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip from here. I don't anticipate any root problems, but just in case, this will fix it.
100% stock: P5220-4.4-stock(fixed).zip
Deodexed + rooted: P5220-4.4-stock-deodexed-rooted(fixed).zip
Anyone may feel free to use this as a base for their ROM. I only ask that you give me credit.

Just making sure... This ROM is the same as the one previously posted, correct?
Edit: Never mind. Answered my own question!

Just added a deodexed + rooted build. Enjoy!

Restl3ss, it would be great if you would post md5 values for your zip files. That way we can verify a good download. I suppose a zip that opens is uncorrupted, but many other developers offer MD5 values, so I mention it.
Thanks for your work in preparing the deodexed and rooted rom. Those of us with LTE don't have many options..... so we are very greatful.

I just flashed the deodexed version with TWRP. It hung on the boot screen Tab 3 for more than 20 minutes. So i reflashed. Same result. So I restored my backup and here I am....

Sorry, that one didn't work either. I wonder if the problem is TWRP? When I finished flashing the stock p5220, when I selected Reboot System, I got a message that said "You don't appear to be rooted. If you would like root, swipe to install SuperSU" Well, I wanted root, so I selected that. Then the tab hung o the boot screen just like before. So I re-entered recovery and installed the Update SuperSU 2.02. It still hung so I am again restoring backup.
Has anyone else installed either of these and if successful, what recovery did you use??????

Hmm
Did it hang on the first splash or the boot animation? Also which version of TWRP are you using, the one made by angel_666 or the one made by moonbutt74?
I have a hypothesis as to what the problem may be if it's on my end, but I want to make sure

HI,
It hung on the first splash - the one with white letters saying Tab 3 etc.
As far as the TWRP goes, I don't remember where I got it but the file was TWRPrecovery.tar.zip and inside that was recovery.tar.md5 of 16.24MB. I hope that helps. If you can suggest a better recovery, I'll install it.

Try installing philz adv recovery from this thread and try flashing again.

Your link just took me to a black screen, but I looked in the development section and found the thread by Moonbutt. I downloaded Philz for p5220 from there but won't flash it until you tell me that I have the correct one.

OK, I installed PhilZ and it seems to work fine. First I tried to flash your deodexed rom. Part way through the flash I got the message:
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E;Error in /sdcard/download/P5200-4.4-stock-deodexed-rooted.zip
(Status 7)
E: Installation aborted
So now I'm going to try the totally stock one.....
Same error again. Bummer because I forgot to make a PhilZ backup of my 4.2.2. I have a TWRP backup, but that's all.

Can someone provide a good link to a TWRP recovery for the p5220 LTE?
OK, I found one of Moonbutt's latest, installed it, restored my TWRP backup and have a working tablet again. I'm a little gunshy and will be slow to flash anything for a while....

@quijote1
Wait, I think I know what the problem is
and f**k do I feel stupid
the new KK firmware requires vendor be patched as symlinks get broken. I forgot to patch vendor on these zips, thus hanging. Remembered with the 3G one as I made it relatively close to the time I made the WiFi one. Completely forgot about it on the LTE ones.
My bad, pulling links until re-upload is done

links for patched / fixed versions are now up. All should be well
@quijote1
Would you be willing to test by chance?

Hooray, it worked. The ROM is installed but appears to lack root although I selected the rooted one. I suppose that I can flash the update supersu 2.07 zip and that will do the job. I'll read the OP first.....
Thanks!!!

Further update: the Gallery fc although the camera works. And Video and World Clock also force close. 3rd party photo and video players work fine. When I take a photo, a little icon of the new photo appears on screen, but if I click it, it force closes too. Otherwise the camera works fine.
I ran a script to debloatify that was posted in this forum. It was called SlimSammy and it removed a lot of crapware - group play, etc. I wonder if it screwed up something to do with photos and videos?
Nope, I reflashed the rom again with the same result. ..
However, with the exception of those those 3 apps force closing, the rom is decently zippy and seems stable. Antutu 21400!

Me too with rooted tab, however, it does check for and download updates and asks for a samsung acc. However, installing the update got a message error. Btw, I'm looking for a fast stable ROM with HC 3.2 and a pre-installed launcher. Anyone got any ideas?
Hi.
to all: go to this address and follow the instructions:
http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-p7500-honeycomb-xwkl1-firmware-72067/
then install samsung apps or a launcher or everything else...
I've flashed it myself several times till now(I've bought my tab nearly a week ago and have almost boomed it)
if you have the same prob again tell me to upload some videos...

If ur loking for stable HC3.2 try Overcome 10.1 Series. Most stable for 3G GTab but removes too much from TouchWiz.
I would personally recommend GALAXY TASK 14 or Clean ROM 2.0 but only if u have WiFi only GTab.

thanx it work
but why there is no updates?
If you mean updates for android os,Ice cream sandwich and jelly bean have already been released(ICS without camera and JB without anything right now...).
I recommend only ICS CM nightly if you ever want to flash...
I rely on the tab to take pics a lot, so I cant afford to lose the camera. Clean ROM's developer seems to have moved on to another device, so I think I'm gonna go with Task. Thanks!
Ps: This may sound dumb, but how do you update CWM, and how to install the b00sted's themes here ? I downloaded it but have no idea how. Does it run on stock launcher?

you must flash clockworkmod using odin and pc.get it from:

Yeah, I figured out how. But dont know how to install the CWM touch, it's a *.img file. And about b00sted's themes, I meant do they run with stock ROM, sorry!

In order to install cwm touch, you have to put it in a .tar file and use odin. Or make a cwm flashable zip.
you can find non-touch recovery in here:

[Resolved} Siyah-s2-v6.0b4 Kernel 4.2.1 JB VERY slow at booting and throwing errors

I installed CM 10.1 on my Samsung S2/II i9100 and put on the Siyah-s2-v6.0b4 Kernel What happened? My phone was stuck on the boot but it did show me the Samsung logo but goes dead/blank and at times it booted up and freezing up with errors The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again
The good news is i got it back to work! but i would like to share on how i got the phone back to life/work! to help someone out there that has the similar problem.
So heres how i got it back to work!
You will need:
An SD card reader (for transferring files)
Samsung Kies installed
Odin3 v3.04 program
recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-galaxys2.tar
cm-10.1-20130105-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip
Gaaps - gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip[/url] - you dont need this if you dont use Google Talk/Play Store!
Heres what you need to do to get your phone up and running!
Put your phone into recovery volume down/back/power all pressed in until your greeted via a Custom ROMs hit volume down
connect the phone to the computer (make sure you have Samsung Kies installed 1st!
Start the Odin3 v3.04 program and browser for recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-galaxys2.tar under Bootloader
hit Start and you should see a green Kernel PASS!
Plug in your SD card reader and slot the Micro SD itself from the phone
Transfer all files cm-10.1-20130105-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip and gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip to the SD card
Put the SD card back into the phone
Hold volume up --> Back and Power and Wait for the samsung logo, let go of the Power! and keep hold until your greeted by the CMW Recovery?
Scroll down to Wipe data/factory reset and hit the power button
Scroll down to Wipe cache partition and hit the power button
Go to install zip from SD card
and browse to cm-10.1-20130105-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip and hit power and hit Yes
let it do all is stuff
browse to gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip and hit power and hit Yes
let it do all is stuff again
then go back to Reboot
All done and you should be greeted by a spinning cyanogenmod logo and goes into 4.2.1 JB by cyanogenmod 10.1
Enjoy, Hope i have help someone!
That Siyah version is only meant for roms based on the JB-leak.
The Volume Down+Home+Power is btw Download Mode, not Recovery
Nice intention to help people.

You have no need to do any of that crap. All you need to do reboot into download or recovery mode and flash correct kernel and system will boot fine.

It's the method he's talking about. You could've done it more easily, so as an advice to others it's not really usefull. Siyah v6.0b4 isn't meant for 4.2.1 but for the JB-leak from Samsung.

That's because Siyah kernel doesnt work with 10.1. You need to flash Phillz kernel and dont do it the way you put in first post, its all completley pointless.
Just reboot into recovery or download mode and flash Phillz or other JB leak supported kernel if you want to use leaked Sammy JB.
Or if you had access to the Siyah recovery, you simply could have flashed back your CM nightly. This would have overridden the Siyah kernel with the CM kernel.
I had the same problem yesterday, I installed SiyahKernel S2-v5.0.1 on CM10.1. Didn't see it was not for Android 4.2...
plz rtfm syiha = 4.1.2 leak only
syiha kernel work like a charm with 4.1.2 leaked. i use it in beta 4 and work very well without fc and nice reactivity.
i always use syiha kernel and always satisfied.
please flash a clean 4.1.2 leak before.
and btw if you dont understand what you are doing or dont read syiha disclamer/scope plz stay in native stock phone.
and finaly , plz say thx to the dev even you have problems becose it publish is kernel for dev not for end users.
Hi,
So there's no Siyah for 4.2.1?
What other kernel options do we currently have for 4.2.1 JB and dual boot?
Thanks!

No,you can use Siyah for 4.2.1. I have 4.2.1 and I use the latest Siyah-v5-MCM-i9100-vsync.
You can download it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cm10i9100vsync/files/kernel/
It works just perfect for me,very fast and good battery life.

There is Siyah for 4.2.1, click here. Been working great for me.
The kernel linked at www.gokhanmoral.com dates back to November, how comes?
Thank you (both) for the link. I installed "Siyah-v5-MCM-i9100-vsync_sysfs-20130115.zip", worked like a charm.
:good:
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much I tought I had my phone bricked and now it`s working like a charm...
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
i know you had good intentions when posting this as your main purpose was to share your successfully recovery of your phone BUT this op is really full of misinformations...
as it was stated most steps are absolutely unnecesery in this situation (including the starting situation which would never happen if you RTFM)
so as a closing statement:
- Siyah-s2-v6.0b4 is ONLY for Samsung leaked JB Rom
- procedure after flashing non compatible kernel:

Code:
[FONT=Tahoma][left]This rom is build from the original [URL="http://www.sammobile.com/"]SAMMOBILE[/URL] source firmware removing [URL="http://omegadroid.co/wanted-knox-void-warranty-0x1"]the Knox crap[/URL] and it is NOT ROOTED because of the new bootloader.
YOU HAVE TO ROOT IT MANUALY.
I try to include all the S5 apps which work on our devices and themed the others to look like S5[/left][/FONT]
The 4.4.2 bootloader isn't include in the rom but:
For those are on the 4.4.2 bootloader you will have "KNOX 0x1 WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY FOREVER" blame it on samsung but rom will function as intended even if you use original kernel
For those are on the 4.1 or 4.3 bootloader you must flash another kernel to have working wifi like AGNI Kernel. but you WON'T HAVE "KNOX 0x1 WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY FOREVER".

S5 Themed: Framework (as i can), Settings, Clock,ect...
Installation : You must install Chainfire SuperSu to manually root the rom: (SuperSU v1.94)
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP
I recommend installing Rom via Philz CWM Recovery (v6.26.6). On install do a wipe Data/Factory Reset and Clean to install New Rom.
Flash My Rom.
Boot and follow the setup wizard.
Shutdown it
Boot in recovery mod (vol up+home and power)
Flash (SuperSU v1.94)
You are done. Post a little message here if everything work (or not)

Woww. Thanks man! It's indeed a surprise.
Is it a odex/de-odex version? And it doesn't include a modem right?
And I guess for people on 4.1.2 bootloader, wi-fi and everything should work with the latest Agni Kernel v 4.0.0 .
Waiting to try it out after my backups
Great, thank you
Great to hear that someone is doing a new rom for the 2 year old phone, will try it and feedback soon

It as the modem include in the rom but you can revert back with the modem i provide in my other thread and deodex like title say.
Thanks you. I tried it. Only problem for me was not being able to use one hand keyboard and dialer. Other than that there was no problem with the ROM.
From another Note (GT-N7105)
Downloading now. Will post feedback after flash -
I've been waiting for something like this to come along for a VERY long time.
Super thanks to the OP.
Downloading now. I'll report back in 10 Hours after I wake up and FLASH IT.
EDIT: Thanks for the ROM. Forgot to mention that... We need more developers for TW Roms.
I'm on the 4.1.2 bootloader and tried the ROM with the Agni kernel, it was smooth and felt great...unfortunately my Note didn't picked up any cell signal...it was showing the circle with the line crossed, I tried rebooting and didn't work. Also, battery was depleting fast. Any recommendations? Thanks dev! Keep it up!
Update: I tried going back to recovery to change the ROM or restore my backup, and it keeps bootlooping! It doesn't enter recovery anymore ........
.
Update 2: :'(.....my phone doesn't boot to recovery OR the ROM itself!.....just after the "Galaxy Note II" splash screen, some on-screen soft keys appear on the bottom of the screen and it goes right back to the splash screen and keeps doing that forever...it seems that I'll have to Odin back to stock :'( so bad...anyone with the 4.1.2 bootloader be aware!

Calm down and explain everything (hopefully someone could help you out). Best thing to do in a situation like this is use an official ROM to flash THROUGH Odin.

Yeah, I'm calmed (read "desperate" lol)...going to Odin then :'(
update: i got the rom to boot after flashing dr. ketan's wifi patch (without going to stock thru odin)...but signal is not working...i've noticed my baseband says "unknown"...maybe thats why its not picking signal up...i will try to fix it, if not, then im going to stock thru odin.
update 2 (yeah, again!): finally i was able to boot this rom correctly WITH cell signal working! i odined back to stock (to recover my imei), im on 4.1.2 BL, i flashed the rom then flashed the TMO MK7 modem and AGNi kernel...PROFIT! thanks for this rom dev!!
update 3: (wth? again? yeah... ..) installed xposed framework (the installer comes built in this rom) and the rom didnt boot!! stayed on the samsung boot animation forever!!...i had to flash the "xposed disabler.zip" to make it boot again...also, the battery drain is still there...i can almost see the percent dropping! i guess its time to update the Bootloader then....
Im loving this ROM so much..
Running from jedi x20, i just clean flash it and everything works well network,wifi & 4G.
May i ask why is the notification bar in grayish can i make them into color mode so i can see the data/wifi network is running well or not.
Cause if the color is gray it make no different whether it running or not.
Thanks keep up the good ROM hope to see much better updates!!

Hi, Maw2607;52897272, thanks your great rom, seem like everthing work fine, but may i know how to install the old SNote(note2 original)? because i have some important note can't view on the new SNote. thanks.:highfive:
from knoxfree to...?
Hi Maw2607... I am missing the point here... And forgive me if it is a dumb question... What if I come from a knoxfree 4.3, like this one [ROM][STOCK][4.3][N7105XXUEML3/NA1/NC3][Rooted || Deodexed & Odexed || KNOX Free] or that one Ditto Note 3 Based on MK5 (N7105) with Note 3 ...? I can't possibly trip knox, can I? Many thanks for your explanation...
Ok im not sure if this is a bug or just my phone giving me problems.
After running this ROM for few hrs everything is smooth. But I run out of juice on the phone when I charge the phone, it auto turn on. Then I try to switch it off again to let it charged while the phone is off. But it auto turn on again.
Anyone can help me to fix this problem, as I always like to turn off my device to charge, it seem to be charging faster that way...

If you don't have Knox flag when you go in download mod, with this rom you don't have too.

If I'm not wrong, I guess it's a known issue in the Agni kernel

Has anyone got it working with the 4.1.2 bootloader and Agni kernel?
If so, can you kindly share the steps / procedure?

So is there a fix for it. I will like to have my phone switch off while changing.
Im running from 4.1.2 bootloader, what I did was just clean flash/install the ROM. It works fine for my N7105 LTE. I did not need to flash agni kernel after that, cause I already choose it when flashing with the ROM...
Hey Maw,
Does this rom contain your magical build.prop tweaks?

CONFIRMED 4.2 roms will flash on 4.4 bootloader

Confirmed...i just successfully flashed megafire v10 4.2.2 base rom after odin flashing the kk bootloader and flashing Philz cwm....v10 is running as fast and smooth as ever on the 4.4 bootloader...so if you want to try kk and still want 4.2 roms your good to go
Mega
If anyone flashes one of sileshs aosp builds on the 4.4 bootloader please post it here and I'll update the op heading
Mega
The 4.4 ROM you were on was a Knox infested ROM or was it the Knox free ROM I put on the forum?
And did you flash the whole 4.4 ROM or only the boatloader (boot.img)?
Cuz on this ROM Knox is actually not in the boot.img, it's somewhere else.
Which means that one can flash the 4.4.2 boot.img alone and still downgrade to 4.2.2 or whatever, but if one flashes the whole 4.4.2 ROM one will have the Knox...
Or am I missing something?

I flashed the entire stock odin based rom with bootloader intact....so yes you can fully flash 4.2.2 roms after doing full odin to stock kk...i did this to test knowing people on my roms would eventually try this lol....no I saw you had the rom out but this is all based on full stock odin and Knox 4.4 bbootloader..yes you can flash 4.2.2 roms strain over the new Knox 4.4. boot buddy ...you just can't never odin flash a 4.2.2 with the old bootloader. ..i hole that clears things up a little bit
Mega
The 4.2.2 you have is a Knoxed version?
My 4.2.2 is a Knox free version, and if I understood well I wouldn't be able to restore it if I flash the Knox KK.
I ask you this cuz I wouldn't mind to try the full KK, to see if it has the reboot bug or not.
But I would do it only if I can restore my good old fast and efficient home made 4.2.2

No the 4.2.2 bmj2 build is my megafire v10 from the threads that I flashed on the new 4.4 bootloader...if you have one that's pre cna2 or your i9200 base equivalent it's shouldn't be an issue...idk about any beyond bmj2 as i never built on them since they were the same exact rom as bmj2 just with the knox bootloader lol for me going from my megafire rom to kk was a massive step backwards in speed smoothness and battery life...going from a raw quadrant average of 8350 on my 4.2 rom to 7860 is a massive drop lol and just another reason I'm done with that build for a few days
Mega
Also I have tracked down a few reasons for the updater script issue...that almost appear to be intentional on the part of samsung but I'll pm you about that which I've never seen happen in 5 years and over 120 roms I've built...but since you wouldn't know I'm guessing I build for the mega, but also for my note 3, note 8, note 12.2 pro, tab 8.4 pro, galaxy s4 att and the Mega all currently...and this mega kk base has been the first and only to have these issues with android kitchen at least ime building on them, so something changed
Edit and no you are correct it's now in the new separate boot.exe or param exe if I'm not mistaken. ..but no dude i went for the full shebang the full odin 4.4 then flashed my own 4.2 knox free mj2 rom just fine...so the new bootloader obviously has a supercede script that overwrites the old bootloader is my guess...probably a if then script but mines running great 4.2 knox free rom on 4.4 knox boot buddy you should have the same deal on 9200
Nice if your KK version doesn't have Knox, but it's a I9205 right?
Mine is a I9200 and to be honest I'm a bit scared to flash the full ROM cuz it could be that it has Knox, and since I'm still not sure that I can tweak KK to my liking I don't want to be stucked with it without any possibility to get back to 4.2.2.
Anyway, it's good for you if the I9205 is Knox free, and it will save me time cuz someone had requested me to make a Knox free version, which would have taken days to download/upload due to my pitiful internet connection (I already tried to download it 3 times and every time it failed in the middle).
Tell me, are there in your KK package other files apart from boot.img, recovery.img, system.img, cache.img and hidden.img?

I think you may have misread or misunderstood something buddy ,..the i9205 kk build has knox both in the bootloader and the warranty fuse and kernel fuse but also apks in the system, priv apps, and framework folders..the knox bootloader for 4.4 supercedes the older bootloader, so even when you restore the system of 4.2.2 you still have the 4.4 bootloader on there. My post was to let you guys know that you could flash 4.2 roms on the 4,4 bootloader...don't we all wish they didn't have knox lol...but no dude the i9205 is just the 4g lte variant of the 9200....at least On the 9205 you can odin up to 4.4 and still flash 4.2 roms on the new bootloader...when you say knox free are you talking about removing the normal knox apks form system apps, priv apps, and framework like usual?? Or you talking about removing the bootloader from the build?
Yea dude i wouldnt have even tried to flash back 4.2 but i have 2 Mega's 9205 one is strictly for dev work...and my 4.2 roms already have most of the ram and dalvik changes built in as well as a ton of tweaks performance and battery optimizations...i Don't know if you've run any of my builds but they're extremely fast and smooth, so the mega stock 4.4 was a huge step hackward for me or anyone thats run my builds
And it depends what files you mean buddy...my initial files from the decompile were the usual aboot.mbn, cache.img, nonhlos, rom, sbl 1 2 3...ect then you run boot.img and system.img thru the kitchen for unpacking the regular folders...but yes I noticed the extra file types in the initial decompile...I'm about to just delete everything an say screw it for a few days

Is that means so one could flash MegaFirev10 onto 4.2.2 with new bootloader (i.e. CNA2)? It could be much easier than making complex downgrade to MJ2 and then flashing MF.

Theoretically it shouldn't be an issue...i did this exact thing on ml1 and then again on 4.4 and both times I flashed my megafire roms just fine...so it would appear as though flashing lower roms is fine and restoring roms is fine on those bootloaders but Odin flashing back down to an older build or boot is not possible....if you do this and is ssuccessful def let us know thanks buddy

1) I go and download the Portugal 4.4 KK I9205XXUDNE4 I9205TPHDNE4
from Sam Mobile and Odin that to my i9205.....
then 2) download your your megafire v10 4.2.2 base rom
and Odin that to my phone...
Then Im good to go???
No rooting or S/U involved??
And it'll be Faster, bettery battery life and all your other great tweaks in there too???
just that simple??
any manual wiping or dalvic wiping involved in the process??
then I'll have to re-install all my stuff,??
Thanks for your answer!!
Great work!

***this post was only for those who had taken or flashed the 4.4 update to try and didn't wanna be stuck on it...you can flash my 4.2 roms directly without odin flashing 4.4 if your still on 4.2***
Close..but much simpler lol...you odin up to the new kk as you have there...odin 4.4 stock...then odin flash Philz recovery...then flash my megafire v10 4.2 build in Philz cwm recovery....you don't odin flash my rom. But you can see all the perks and upgrades over the stock rom in my rom thread, with detailed instructions on how to flash it....but you only odin flash the new 4.4 update...and Odin flash custom recovery then you flash my rom as usual in recovery from the mega itself...but if your already on 4.2 you can just flash it strait from recovery you don't have to update to the 4.4 build first...my kit kat rom is not out yet so this post and info was more for those who had flashed kit kat stock rom and didn't wanna be stuck on it since it's much slower and worse battery life that a custom build.

Can anyone tell me whether there is, for custom ROMS GT-I9152?
Where can I find them?
Thanks
Playing with an L600 ( Sprint ).....
Glad to hear it's the same as many if not all other Galaxy devices and was just dependent on not "downgrading" the Bootloader.
I just finished installing Philz and rooted through recovery.
Ok.. thanks, Mega....
Can you please give a link for the philz recovery that works with our i9205?
Thanks for that..
Wont I need togoto stock 4.4 first to get the benifits of the 4.4 kernel, then drop in your megafire v10??
Thanks again for clarify ing...
"when you say knox free are you talking about removing the normal knox apks form system apps, priv apps, and framework like usual?? Or you talking about removing the bootloader from the build? "
I meant removing everything that is Knox related, included the stuff in the boatloader (that isn't in the boot.img by the way).
"i Don't know if you've run any of my builds but they're extremely fast and smooth, so the mega stock 4.4 was a huge step hackward for me or anyone thats run my builds "
I didn't, but it's on my to-do list
"I'm about to just delete everything an say screw it for a few days"
I did the same, buy now that few days have passed I may give it another shot, you know how we people are

That's right! But what you mean: " I just grab the latest version and .tar". You do not need to flash anything before MegaFire. Just start from second line...
When you flasdh MegaFire V10 you will have better version of stock 4.2.2. Bootloader version is not relevant in such case. New bootloader does not better your MF.

G900T unlocked using on AT&T.. Which version of ROM to use?

so I got this galaxy s5 (free) to replace the S4 I had.. I'm on AT&T and the S5 is a T-Mobile device.. I unlocked and am currently using on AT&T without any issues.. I tried Cyanogenmod 12 on it.. had way too many Bluetooth music issues.. so I switched back to a rooted t-mobile stock.. which is terrible.. bluetooth music works great but everything is is painfully slow.. so I want to find a good fast custom rom (that also has proper bluetooth music support).. With so many device versions and so many custom roms I'm just a bit perplexed.. I found some that are debloated stock roms which seem like that would be good. but I'm just a bit confused on what parts I need to have as "t-mobile g900t" and which parts I don't have to have that way? so yeah this is a bit of a newbie question (even though I have run 4 or 5 custom roms in the past (original galaxy s and my s4 both had custom roms). .but those were always at&t devices on at&t network.. so was an easier choice..
at any rate.. looking for some tips on how to best find the right rom.. Would love to do this today/tomorrow.. avoid messing with the phone during the work week..
Thanks in advance!!

Try the latest stock ROM for the phone. Many of us were having issues with lag with prior 5.1.1 ROMS. The latest ROM has fixed all these issues. Very snappy.
i feel like i remember seeing bluetooth/audio fixes & updates in the CM13 nightly changelogs, you also didnt specify which CM 12 you installed... the last 12.1 snapshot from october or the last nightly from december?
You can run whatever rom you want. If it works with KLTE it works on your phone. Check the S5 unified development. Cyanogen has always been crap on this phone, probably always will be. Try an AOSP based one like Tesla or TipsyOS (probably won't find them on this site, they post all of their roms on their Google+ page)
Unfortunately the only Marshmallow available for this phone so far is CM-13 based so it's also crap and full of bugs...
To be honest, no ROM you find will be perfect. The most stable thing I've found is to just use a rooted stock ROM and debloat the hell out of it then run Google Now launcher or Nova and forget that you have a Samsung device for a while, until the next OTA comes out and you have to do the process over again.

much improved deep sleep battery means crap & full of bugs? i'm over a week behind on nightlies & there arent that many bugs... http://www.cmxlog.com/13/klte/ things are improving all the time, only CM 12.1 is stuck... but the last december nightly isnt buggy either
Sort of forgot about this thread. first Thanks for the replies.. So I have been using CM13 since I posted this.. and this has great for speed.. but BlueTooth continues to suck.. no matter what bluetooth device I use with this Rom it skips and stutters. I've finally had enough.. it's been quite a long time with this issue so time for me to switch.. I will try one of the rooted stock roms and debloat it with one of those tools.. thanks again everyone!

Go to the international s5 site look at Tamirda's phoenix rom . It's 6.0.1 mm very snappy very few bugs. Very moddable. Just load a stock mm rom from here first than so you have the proper bootloader and modem. After installing you feel like you got a mini s7. Good good.

If you have the mm bootloader and modem installed just wipe and flash. But I believe cm 13 could be ran on the lp bootloader. I odined the stock tar first that way you know all the partitions are proper. Than Odin Twrp 3 0.0 . Make sure you back up your data from internal storage because when you Odin factory package it wipes phone storage. I learned this the hard way lost a bunch of pictures lol anyway I found this to be the best way. Hoping this helps....

1. is there a way to tell which bootloader I have?
2. I'm running teamwin.. I assume that's fine for flashing Phoenix but does one really need Odin?
3. I had a rooted stock image before I installed CM13.. (the stock image was so dang slow.. forget which.)
thanks again!

1. is there a way to tell which bootloader I have?
2. I'm running teamwin.. I assume that's fine for flashing Phoenix but does one really need Odin?
3. I had a rooted stock image before I installed CM13.. (the stock image was so dang slow.. forget which.)
thanks again!

Get any phone info app and check and see if your bootloader ends in pe1 if it don't you don't have mm bootloader. Teamwin is twrp just make sure it's version 3.0.0 that version seems to do best with the phoenix rom.

Sorry for eavesdropping but I dont think that PE3 came yet, either via OTA or on sammobile.
Correct me if I am wrong

I'm sorry you are correct I meant pe1 pe3 is for the Note 4. I've been working with a friends note 4 past few days. Thanks for catching my error . Hate giving wrong advice... original post edited...

thanks for sticking with me on the all the newbie questions.. bootloader version reported as G900TUV1FOG6.. later in the list it shows Latest Firmware: G900TUVUGPE1/G900TTMBGPE1/G900TUVU1GPE1.. so at first I was thinking I was ok.. but that second entry had me wondering.. (dang.. just noticed this was never submitted (from 6/28).. oh well)..
ok.. So I assumed I'm good to go.. installed the latest TWRP (3.0.2).. wiped the data area and tried to flash Phoenix.. It starts installing Aroma.. and within a couple of seconds the phone reboots back into TWRP.. did this a few times.. rebooting into the OS gets me a new Cyanagenomod not Phoenix.. figure I must be missing a step somewhere (or have something that is preventing Phoenix from installing).. thoughts?
thanks again!!

I think you still don't have the correct bootloader . The firmware is mm because your using CM13. The easiest way to get it done for sure is to odin the official MM firmware. Than install Twrp 3.0.0 flash superuser to have root . Reboot in recovery and flash phoenix rom v12.0 than the 12.6 update. This may take extra time this way but all the partitions will be correct. Or odin bootloader in BL slot and modem in cp slot . Don't set for auto reboot pull battery back into download mode Odin Twrp pull battery. Reboot into recovery than flash superuser. Than flash phoenix. Good luck

OK.. you may be right.. I downgraded TWRP to 3.0.0 and the install started working fine.. but now the reboot into Phoenix has been going for about 35 mins.. I know it can take some time but that seems extreme.. will wait a bit longer and if it doesn't work I'll try the steps you listed above..
thanks again

Gary look in this general section for the post that instructs you how to install factory mm. Follow the guide. Google to see how to install factory tar files using Lunix . I'm guessing my instructional writing skills leave something to be desired lol . Once you have the factory mm up and running install Twrp flash superuser reboot. Than reboot into recovery flash phoenix rom. Good good
