Is there a SIM Unlocked Kitkat ROM for LS980? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Justin ported a stock T-mobile JellyBean ROM for LS980 and I am currently using it.
I tried to update Justin's ROM via OTA and it almost brick my phone.
I also tried unlocked CM11 but I like stock ROM more, so I am trying to find one.
Is there a 4.4 ROM that can be flashed on my phone? I am using it on AT&T.
Thank you!

Still need someone's answer, thanks!

[Q][REQUEST]

I have a rooted D802 international with TWRP custom recovery. Today the phone offered mi to upgrade to 20b, I guess it is finally a 4.4.2 ROM. But because of TWRP I know I can't upgrade with OTA. And also there is no support for a custom recover in a LG2 4.4.2 ROM kernel. So my question is and I guess it is also a request: do I have to wait for someone to release a patched stock 4.4.2 ROM for my phone? Or is there any way to do it by myself? I wouldn't like to use CM or similar, I like LG stock ROM. I hope someone is already working on it.
PS: Could someone please edit a caption of the thread to "[Q][REQUEST] Got an offer from my phone for a 4.4.2 upgrade". I forgot to finish it.
I think I found an answer to my question, but have another one. I found this two KitKat ROMs:
Stock KitKat
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2661866
LG G Pro 2 ported ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2680745
What is the difference between them?

[Q] NEED HELP Factory Unlocked S5 Firmware

Hi I have been on this site quite a few times but this is the first time posting. I rooted my s5 using towelroot and everything is working fine but I would like to install cwm recovery. Before I do though I want to make sure I can get back to stock with no issues. I am looking for a unbranded stock firmware for the t-mobile s5. It is currently unlocked and has never been on tmobile. I am currently with net10 which uses the att network. I just don't want to flash tmobiles firmware as I am not on tmobile and don't want all the bloatware. Is there a unbranded stock firmware for the 900T variant? or maybe a way to download the stock recovery at least. I know I can backup my current rom but I dont think that includes the recovery. Thanks in advance.

If you root it first i think Flashify from Play can backup and restore your current kernel and recovery. But first check if Flashify supports the 900T.
BTW the G900T rom G900TUVU1BNG4 is available on Sammobile.com to flash with Odin, you can always debloat/freeze apps/widgets you don`t need.
I found a site with all the firmwares.

NEED HELP Factory Unlocked S5 Firmware SOLVED
Thanks for all the help guys Flashify worked for me perfectly. I needed to backup my stock rom because as I stated before I have a unbranded phone. It is the t-mobile version but if I put the tmobile rom on there I end up with bloatware and whatever else. So I was able to flash cwm recovery and make a backup of my stock rom to my sdcard. Thanks again

Samsung Galaxy S4 I337 cannot find latest update 4.4.4

Hey guys,
My brother has the S4 i337 model and he's on 4.4.2
This phone is unlocked and he's using Tmobile on it.
For some reason it cannot find 4.4.4 via OTA and Kies
Is this because it's on tmobile or this model didn't get 4.4.4 yet.
Do I need to root it and flash a rom on it?
Thanks

Some models of the Samsung Galaxy S4 just didn't get the update, for instance my i337 didn't even get the 4.4.2 Kitkat update and was stuck on JellyBean. Your best bet is to just flash a 4.4.4 Rom on it. Clears out the bloated stock software.

that's really lame
So to make sure I do this the right way
I have to root the phone first
then install custom recovery
then flash rom right?
Or does the boot loader need to be unlocked?
Any rom recommendations?
I'd like for it to be stock so it's stable since my brother needs this for testing purposes

Yes correct, but if your boot loader is locked then you're going to need to download SafeStrap Recovery for locked bootloaders. Then once you have installed that, there's only very limited amount of Roms you can install because of the kernel, if you find a ROM that changes the kernel your phone won't boot. But a ROM that is fully working is called "GoldenEye ROM" its a 4.4.2 ROM but is really clean, stock, and clears out all that bloated nonsense. There's no 4.4.4 Roms for locked bootloaders yet.

How do I install marmallow bootloader?

I was trying to upgrade to to the new pheonix rom which is Marshmallow 6.01 but it wasn't taking. Someone told me I probably need to update to a marshmallow bootloader. They offer one on pheonix but it is for 900f and I have 900w8. Any idea where I can get this bootloader?
