Im not sure if this is the correct area to post this, so please feel free to move me if needed.
Im coming from NC5 HyperDrive release 19. Im realizing i dont use the majority it has to offer and would like a way to flash the stock version. It would be great if i could also remove the safestrap program. I am thinking about flashing a GPE rom and use xposed for what tweaks i do need, that way i have full control over what bloatware i have on my phone.
Any help would be appreciated

yeah wrong subforum, but you need safestrap if youre gonna use a GPE rom simply because we can't flash a ROM any other way on this useless device. also, good luck. I'm stuck with HD until i try GPE again, I personally have not had a fully functional GPE ROM. Sure they run great but either WiFi, or data, or voice is broken at any given point. Hope they gives you an answer

I'm running the Pure Nexus ROM from this thread and have had few issues. Only notable problem so far is phantom vibrations sometimes. This is the most stable Safestrap compatible GPE ROM I've found.

First of all, I'm real sorry to get your hopes up!
The reason for this thread is that I'm hoping a dev would convert this rom so it works on our beloved 7105.
Is it even possible to port this rom over?
Anyway, would love to see it as there's a lack of roms for the 7105 compared to the 7100.
If I'm breaking the rules with this thread I'm really sorry, feel free to close and delete it.

If it's on the A.T&T thread, then you can flash that Rom. Most of the Roms I use are from that Thread. Just make sure you have the right modem. I haven't flashed this particular ROM yet, but I'm getting to it. The new P.A builds have just come out, so I've flashed them this morning to give it a try. Just make sure you have Nandroid and you will be set to go.

Got my Modem from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2031575
Hope this helps. Just make sure you flash the right one of course. I would also recommend Flashing the latest Neak Kernel for AOSP/AOKP Roms. It seems to work the best. Also and off topic here, the latest Roobox Nightly has been released, just search GOOMANGER on your phone. That now has Halo and works really well. The main bug is the Expand screen part doesn't work properly, but everything else is really sweet. The PacMan Rom, the halo still has the SMS bug. If you get a new SMS and you click on it through HALO, it will exit out of the app you were in. So keep that in mind. Going to give the XYELon Rom a go tonight and see how that fairs.

I've been looking into porting for a long time and have been trying to figure things out.
So you say any rom or just certain roms will flash fine on our n7105 providing we ensure to flash the appropriate modem???
Hmm for some reason the recovery didn't let me install the latest version of AT&T Pac-Rom Any ideas? Wrong model?

Hi there, I've flashed pretty much every ROM that there is on the AT&T section and all have worked. I did flash with the proper modem on all of them. However, that said if most of the time if I didn't flash the latest NEAK kernel then at times I would get no reception at all. With the latest builds of RootBox, and Pacman i didn't bother flashing the kernel and it worked just fine. The T-Mobile Roms just don't work. I've tried to flash a few and they just don't even flash.
However, just keep in mind that some ROMS will change your build.prop like Skynote and Pacman, so you have to edit them. Also with Rootbox, you have to change the MMS.apk as the one built in is buggy. So i usually use the one I've ripped from the P.A builds as they work just fine.
In short. Yes. These do work for the n7105. Just flash the proper modem and you will be set.

If you are using CWM, it always tends to fail on you. I use TWRP and haven't had an issue since. Flash back to a stable ROM and install TWRP through GOO manager. Then flash it using TWRP. Be sure to do a full wipe. Then advanced cache and dalvik cache wipe. Twice for both. That is what I do make sure I have a clean system, then install the Rom, Gapps, Modem, Kernel. Kernel shouldn't be an issue with Pacman. Use the one provided.

Hello all and please forgive me if this has been asked before however being new to this phone I am uncertain of what exactly I am looking for here and am possibly halfway to the solution already. What I am wanting to do is install a custom recovery on my GS4 so that I can use an akop rom. I am unsure of the details or restrictions surrounding this as I have the SCH-I545 modle and it is on the MK2 baseband with kernel 3.4.0 (android 4.3). I was able to root the phone successfully using saferoot and I understand the bootloader is locked and that it may not be possible to install a custom recovery on the phone. Looking around in my searches I found something called Loki (https://github.com/djrbliss/loki) which I understand is for installing custom recovieries and kernels. Is this usable on my phone or do I need to use safestrap and do a dirty flash on my phone and keep both roms side by side? I would use safestrap however it seems restrictive in the fact that the 16gb model is not ideal to have 2+ roms installed on at the same time due to the size of the internal storage, while it also does sound appealing in the fact that it would be nearly impossible to brick the phone and seems like a wonderfully written program.
thanks for any input.

Loki only works for phones with the MDK bootloader. Safestrap is it for now once you've upgraded past MDK.
(And "for now" may be forever.)
16GB is fine for 2 roms. Just direct your downloads to the external SD if you have one; if not, get one. As the previous poster stated SS is your only way of diverting from stock....for now. Hopefully Surge and Jeboo can remedy this eventually
thanks for the replies I'll give SS a shot for now, looks like I'm SOL on using AKOP or any CM roms for now, not really a fan of TW custom or not but ill give them a try.
Thanks again.

As good as Safestrap is (and it is bit of a marvel) it is still possible to softbrick. (Which I have done). So take a bit of normal care.

I have been told that CM won't work on retail versions of the phone. They will work on DEV Edition phones, but not ours. We need roms that are not AOSP roms. The only roms that work on retail versions of the phone run touchwiz.
Oh bummer at least I have root though. Anyway I guess I can use the hyperdrive or echo rom
Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Free mobile app
I will have to check those roms out as well. I really don't like the stock rom at all. Have you tried either of those two roms to make sure they work?
Echoe's S5 rom is pretty nice. Has working Ultra Power Saving Mode feature going for it. I had problems getting MMS to work perfectly on it however. Likely user error, I admit. Tried Hyperdrive out as well; no complaints there (just switch to Echoe for a while to try out UPSM)
I personally really like Eclipse rom for the AOSP experience I was ultimately after. Completely Google-fied the rom myself by installing just about every Google app available on the market :laugh:
You cant go wrong with Empty Galaxy vDecember, Eclipse or Echoe.
I'm helping my friend install CyanogenMod 12 on his S4 (jfltevzw). We've rooted it and we're currently doing a full backup through Safestrap in case anything happens. Once that's finished, I'm unsure as to what we should do. CyanogenMod's wiki has installation instructions for the Verizon S4, but it says in big bold letters to not attempt this if on a ROM newer than I545VRUAMDK. He's on the latest version that Samsung/Verizon have pushed out, which is I545VRUFNK1. Is there an alternate way to install CyanogenMod on top of the newer stock ROM, or is it not possible?

Dang, so there's absolutely nothing whatsoever that can be done? The page says you can't downgrade, but is anything at all possible now that he's beyond the MDK build? He really wants to make the switch and is fine with doing a complete wipe or whatever is necessary.
EDIT: I've been trying to read up on the VZW S4 and why this isn't possible, but I don't quite get it. Reading other threads it seems like the reason is because the bootloader is locked, but that can't be the case if he was able to install Safestrap. I'm coming from a Nexus 5 where everything is incredibly simple, so I apologize for my ignorance. (I don't mean to say you're wrong or anything as I have no idea myself, I just don't understand why it doesn't work on newer ROMs.)

you can install hyperdrive rom
its not lolipop but its worlds better then stock ...
also there is a chance of getting the 5.01 GPE edition rom running when Samsung releases the lolipop update for the vz s4
that would at least give us a working lolipop kernel to use with the gpe rombase
and hey you never know there could be a exploite in the lolipop rom/kernel that lets us get kexec working
Basically safestrap loads after the kernel but early enough to replace point to a different root for the system. So we can load what ever system we want... But are stuck with the kernel the phone booted. If the system is based on the stock kernel this is fine... But when it starts making calls to custom kernel stuff you will have trouble.
So Cyanogenmod only provides the GUI? I've installed CM on two B&N tablets and I've been asked to root a new Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4. I've assumed that, because it's new, it will have I545VRUFNK1 4.4.2. I rooted my VSG s3 years ago to 4.3 and there was no going back on that one. It looks like it's the same with VSG s4. So, if CM provides only the GUI, then a rooted VSG s4 can still access Google Apps? What is the concern with with TW based ROMs? Is it the recovery/backup feature or only being stuck with the VSG s4 GUI?

Nope, in order to get CM, you'll need to be on MDK. Samsung prevents downgrading.

Thank you so very much for replying!!! I Was going to reply on the main thread but need 10 post lol.... I'm not active and I've made my account in 2010 you'd think though I'd have 10 post by now xD.... thanks a lot though!
Edit
Can you direct me to a flash file in case I mess up? I use to have all of this stuff and my computer crashed and it's been so long I don't remember how s4 works I'm doing it for my uncle cuz he said he's s4 is slow and rebooting a lot and going into safe mode. Also is there a throttle mod maybe like for the lg g3 wher it won't throttle until hit like 75c?
Edit 2:
Never mind I found this http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2013/08/flash-firmware-for-galaxy-s4-odin.html .
But what about some cool mods to use to speed up stuff like I said before a throttle mod? Thanks.
Edit 3:
What's the difference in 4.4.2 and 4.4.4? I have the lg g3 on 4.4.2 and love it but want the best so the phone runs smooth.
edit 4:
is the latest version dark too?
Get a MDK no wipe tar and Odin 3.07. The original Oein site is overtaken and I got viruses from it...
Unsure about a throttle mod. Never used anything like that. Little difference between 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 but under the hood stuff. Unsure about what you mean with the latest version being dark. Look at the ROM info. I'd suggest cynanogenmod IMO if you don't like Echoe
