Am I understanding correctly that Safestrap will not support OF1 as well? I'm completely stock and just obtained root and would love to try loading some ROMs via SS.

You can't flash AOSP roms on MK2/Safestrap, only TW (TouchWiz) based roms matching your current stock version (4.3).
thanks Oishi,
Can I flash back to an older stock rom that is not safestrap?

No, once you're on Stock MK2 you're locked to MK2 and have no other options than safestrap.

Here is a somewhat current list of compatible SS Roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2630040
Also check page 1 in the Android Development section; There are a few new ones that look tempting such as BajaRom for TW
Check out Eclipse 3.0 for an AOSP feel with TW compatibility.
Hi all, I have tried several times to install a custom recovery on my i545 but have bricked it each time. I've got so confused with boot versions, LOKI etc etc that I don't know what to do now.
I've included a screen shot of my About page. Can you please point me in the right direction as to what steps to take to install a custom recovery please?

From what i see, you cannot flash a custom recovery as you are not on a MDK bootloader. You are running NC5 which is to say "forget about running a custom recovery or a custom ROM outside of Safestrap."

You can downgrade to mk2 or new, but still bootloader is locked, use safestrap 3.72 to flash safestrap compatible rom.

If you haven't done so anyway, you will need to root using towelroot. You'll also need to get SElinux changer from the play store and set to permissive. Then install safestrap 3.72 and flash roms from the dev section that say are compatible with SS. That is what we're limited to.
Hello devs!
Is there?
No.
You have flashfire, which isn't a recovery, per say, but it does all of the functions of one, in an app.
Only 1 ROM works with OC1, which is Stang's ROM

There are no custom recoveries for OC1 or OF1 bootloaders.
I am at Lollipop 5.0 OC1 with root. I was never able to install suSuper or get OC2 to install while I was is SafeStrap so I installed a rooted Lollipop OC1 .tar via Flashfire. So far so good... except ATT wants to push an update on me, which I declined knowing I'd lose root.
I assume I need to/want to go to OC2 . What file would I use to do that and can I use Flashfire to do that? I don't have access to Odin on this machine (company machine is locked down and I can't add the Samsung drivers)
Can I install the StageFright fix via Flashfire as well?

Thanks but had you read my question better (and that thread), you would have seen that I was asking about going from OC1 to OC2. I used Flashfire to get to OC1. I was asking if you can get from OC1 to OC2 using Flashfilre.
True,but so far I haven't seen oc2, yet,
Also i have been able to use flashfire to flash any oc1 based rom with out safestrap
Also please use the Q&A session

I'm pretty sure many here on xda took the oc2 update while on rooted oc1 and didn't loose root. carl1961 has a thread with the oc2 update zip. Check that thread out (can't remember exactly which thread sorry). It's a config file, rename to update.zip and don't see why Flashfire wouldn't flash. I hope this info helps
Hey, I've got S4 with i545VRSGPL1 bootloader and I wish to install LOS on this phone. Is it even possible? I've actually managed to root the device, but don't know how to install custom recovery to perform installing custom rom. I've tried Flashfire, but didn't work. ANy idea?

for PL1 there are no custom roms. you can downgrade to OF1, just download the rom of Sammobile and install it with ODIN

Try it my friend, my s4 came with PL1 and I just installed the OF1 and wipe it, now I have installed stang5litre Ultra Note5 rom with xposed and viper4android
Anyone know where I can get safe strap recovery for this phone? I'm on GPL1 and want to flash the OF1_rooted_stock_ROM.zip so I can boot stang5litre ROM.
