Is this for the new 4.4 Bootloader? - PAC Q&A

Is this ROM supported on the new 4.4 bootloader? I have a T-mo GN3 that I updated to 4.4.2 through Kies. How do I check what bootloader version I have (I saw somewhere *#1234#, but that didnt give me anything) and how do I know if this ROM is supported?
Also in the Genzolo folder, it only says hlte nightly. It doesnt list a Tmo specific nightly (hltetmo). Is it alright to flash this ROM? I am assuming yes, because I find this thread in the Tmo GN3 forum.

[Q] Flashing i9505 ROM + Modem on SGH-i337?

Hi folks, I'm thinking about getting the SGH-I337 (AT&T version of the s4) which from what I've heard is identical to the i9505 but flashed with a different Modem and ROM. What I was wondering was if it was possible to flash the i9505 ROM + Modem onto the SGH-I337 and essentially "convert" it to the i9505. I was wondering if anyone had more details on the hardware and if there were any issues that I'm just not seeing. I see that the ROM is not an issue. More curious about the Modem. I would like to use the phone on LTE in the UK
I'm looking for a 32GB version of the i9505 and so far, the only option I have is the SGH-I337.
Any thoughts?

Yes you can flash i9505 rom but not sure if you can flash i9505 modem. The way everybody is doing it, to insure ATT network compatibility, is to flash just the i9505 rom while keeping the ATT radio. By doing so, your device ID will switch to GT-I9505 and the SGH-I337 will be gone.
So from what I'm understanding he can flash the i9505 ROM which by he means stock firmware? So I can flash i9505 5.0.1 lollipop stock firmware on my i337? That's what I understood. Is it true?
The bootloader on the i337 may be locked so flashing the i9505 stock firmware onto the i337 may not be possible. I am just guessing here as I have the i337m which does not have a locked bootloader.

Mine is not locked, I bought it used and it was rooted already, so I installed twrp through flashify and I am using cm12. The reason I'm asking is because in sammobile there isn't any lollipop not even kitkat firmwares for my i337 model. So I wanted to know if flashing the i9505 kitkat/lollipop stock firmware on my device could be fine. If not, I can keep on using cm12.
Att never released a complete kk or LP rom. These were only available via ota updates which explains why they cannot be found on sammobile.com.

How could I update it then? I'll be stock in jellybean 4.2.2 because with no root I never received the ota update nor for kikat and not even lollipop.
The rom must be running a completely stock 4.2.2 rom, including stock recovery with no root, to install ota updates.
You could look in the general or development forum to see if anyone has made a flashable zip for the ota updates. The again, the ota updates may not work without an updated bootloader and modem which may mean locking the bootloader.

[Q] Where to find GE ROM?

Hello, I am looking for a Google Edition ROM for my i9505.
I have been using Jamal's 4.3 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348272), but when I tried to get the 4.4 OTA, it did not work, as I now know is stated by Jamal in his/her post.
Does anyone know where I can get the completely stock ROM from the i9505G, so that I can get OTA updates, either for 4.3 to update to 4.4, or 4.4 itself?
You won't be able to get official OTA updates with those ports because the i9505G has a different bootloader. You will have To flash updates manually.
Please correct me if I'm wrong

900t - what roms can I install

I have a tmobile sm-900t. I want to install 4.4.2 roms but I'm unsure of the whole process. This is my first samsung phone everything is new to me.
Do I need to flash a specific firmware to be able to run 4.4.2 roms?
Are there any restrictions on which roms would be compatible with my model #? As opposed to only flashing from the limited selection over in the tmobile sub forums.
Do I need a certain version of CWM or TWRP to be able to flash KK roms?

Head over HERE and check out the T-Mobile ROMS, you can flash certain N9005 ROMs but you gotta play with patches and kernels. Read the T-Mobile forum and compare the ROMs here and there you will see the compatible ones

[Q] 4.4.2 -> 4.4.5 -> Lollipop? (No OTA) [G900A]

Hello,
I just got a Galaxy S5 ATNT (SM-G900A) version with firmware 4.4.2 and build number KOT49H.G900AUCU2AND3
I want to upgrade it to Lollipop, but from what I had seen, I need to upgrade it to 4.4.4 first, How can I achieve that?
I'm not on the ATNT Network(in result, OTA is not working), As i'm living abroad. My phone is factory unlocked.
I had also found an OTA .zip but it's a NG3 one, so I'm not sure if it's compatible with my device.
Thanks guys! (I'm hoping I could do this via the stock recovery way)
*I mean 4.4.4 at the title
I believe theres some ota zips but im not certain theres a way available thats been posted to do this, most of them use odin to get to stock and then using ota to update, or updating to get root, i havent seen one about just manually updating to 5.0, go give the att s5 general section a peek. Otherwise i'd ask the mods to move this over to the att q&a section, im sure one of the devs in the att s5 section would be happy to help.

Oh, i was incorrect, yes there is a lollipop OTA dump, check the att s5 general section, should be able to sideload.

Hey! Thank you for the reply,
I tried one of the lollipop ota .zips
Named
ATTS5Lollipop.zip
It doesn't install though, when I restart the device it's still on KitKat
Plus the manual ota .zips are for NG3s only,
Are those compatible with my device? (ND3)
NVM,
Downgraded to NCE,
Then upgraded to NG3
Then upgraded to OA1
Then to Lollipop.

hi
i purchased a unlocked at&t phone off ebay and it works fine but its on 4.4.2. i want to root and install new custom firmware based on the S6/7 rom - newest android basically that'll work.
What rooting guide should i use and whats the best rom to get it flashed to a UK based rom?
If you are on 4.4.2, do NOT take the OTA update. updating to the official AT&T Lollipop gets you an encrypted bootloader that is unlockable.
look for guides based on 4.4.2. you'll want to install a recovery, then you can flash custom roms.
