Hi I'm new to the forum so if I'm doing this the wrong way I apologies.What I have is a Verizon Note 3 phone that I had flashed to work with Stright Talk service. I want to go to a custom Rom but if I do it will it effect the Stright Talk settings?Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ed
No clue what your flashing since I had no issues with stock and straight talk. When I flash darklord rom android 6.0.1 I had to do some root file copies but pretty easy stuff.
Which rom so you want to use is the biggest thing we need to know to help

Macgyver40 thanks for replying to my question,I was thinking about using the CyanogenMod rom,unless you recommend some thing else, the only thing that's done to my phone is its unlocked and rooted, I need a help with a bootloader and where to get the right rom and of course how to do the root file copies Thanks
I used flashify to put twrp on my phone. Currently using 2.8.7 since darklord rom needs it. There is a good cm rom in general section. Updated a lot too. I use my spen so no cm for me.

Hello, I've been doing a bit of research on my own, and I haven't found any straight answers. Recently, I downloaded the leaked Verizon Kitkat OS. From what I hear, this is the build I should be staying on. That's great and all, but I was wondering if there is any way for me to be able to root from 4.4.2 and be able to install some custom roms. Sorry if this is redundant in any way to what you guys normally see on here, but I am really confused on where all to start with this rooting process.
Also, I've seen people running custom roms on kitkat on the SM-900V, so I know it's possible. I just need a guide for dummies on how to do it.
Thanks again
The best way to root kitkat is installing twrp and when you boot system it asks if you want to root.

Use towelroot method then install latest superuser from chainfire website and then install safestrap. After you've done this you will be able to flash some custom TW roms. You cant get AOSP roms on the vzw retail note 3 yet because the bootloader is still locked.

First time Android user. I jailbroke several iphones in the past but just learning about rooting. I just did the towelroot, now what????
What is cyanogenmod? Do I need it?
Thanks for everyone who helps out!
Download rom manager from play store and use it to flash a custom recovery.. It should be simple
After that you can flash cyanogenmod which is a ROM that changes your phones interface to almost stock android with some added features

Thanks for the quick reply!!! I downloaded that and the first thing was a recovery setup. It said I needed to install clockworkmod Recovery. I attempted to do that but it said my phone is not supported..
Welcome! What phone do you have?

oh right cwm doesn't support S5 yet. anyway there's another recovery other than cwm you can use which is twrp.. download goomanager from playstore and use it the same way to install twrp
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
As far as I know the ATT S5 has a locked boot loader and hence cannot use custom recoveries or ROMs. For now you are stuck with the ROM you have. You are able to modify your ROM now though.

Two things you should consider..
First of all, if you install a custom kernel/recovery, it will void your warranty (this is called as tripping the KNOX flag). Currently, this is something that you cannot fix by yourself and if your phone breaks Samsung may or may not fix it. But that doesn't actually matter since your phone is on ATT and that one is bootloader locked anyway (which means that currently you cannot flash that recovery anyway).
Second thing is that currently CM11 is pretty broken and some features like GPS and Camera aren't working. It will take some time before people manage to iron out all the bugs and even then it might not be perfect.
My advice is that you should first try to get familiar with the phone and then start thinking about modifying it since you aren't used to Android phones. While rooting might give you some functionality you normally wouldn't have, it's not really something that you'll absolutely need. Even out of the box Android is still way more capable and customizable than iOS and most of that stuff doesn't need rooting.
Hello i hope im doing this correctly im new and if im in wrong let me know thanks! 1st i have sprint galaxy s5 sport. Ive got it rooted with cf root for sm-g860p. My build ending number is ng3 i really only want it rooted to unlock my hotspot but cant find a sutable way of doing it if any knowns plz help. Also i noticed theres way more mods for it for other build numbers can i flash a custom rom lets say a ng5 rom to my phone without bricking it cause it seems theres more sutable ways of unlocking hotspot witch one i found was a custom ng5 rom for galaxy that had all that plus more for it thank you for the time
One click HOTSPOT
Below is a link to an app that will unlock the hotspot with the stock ROM - I haven't been able to find a custom ROM or recovery for the gs5 sport (sm-860p) mostly because I don't think many devs have one yet - i've been talking to the dev of this app and they are really helpful!

I'm looking at getting the sport, were you able to use the same firmware as the normal s5 when rooting?

ANYONE KNOW OF ANYTHING ELSE I CAN DO WITH MY SM-860P??? got the hotspot, looking to mod the toggles and quick settings, kernels, roms, ANYTHING PLEASE!
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. I am new to this custom ROM stuff and am trying my best to follow all the guides, but I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4. Android version 4.4.2 and Build version KOT49H.I337UCUFNC1, so I've been following the NC1 guides. I was able to successfully root using towelroot and verified that it worked using a root checker app. I then installed SafeStrap, backed up my stock image, and put two different custom ROMs on my external microSD card, Graviton (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2372742) and PurifieD (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2454205). After creating another ROM slot, and performing a factory wipe using SafeStrap, I installed Graviton and it went through and told me to reboot. However, when the phone loaded again, it looked just like the stock ROM again. So I wiped everything again and did the same with PurifieD. It gave me all the installation options of what bloatware I wanna get rid of, etc and also seemed to install successfully. But once again, when I rebooted after installation, it looked just like stock again.
Am i doing something wrong? I really want to use these nice looking ROMs!!
And if I can get that to work, it seems like I have no 4G connection, even though WiFi works. I'm assuming http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50965837 is the guide I will want to be looking at to make it work?
Thanks for the help
I assume they are based on GNG8 AND GNG1 and you are running FNC1.
The rom based on stockrom is important too.
I suppose you downloaded Purified HD's v3.3? Because it is based on FNC1.
Try roms made specifically for your device to avoid problems and bricking. Experimenting without knowledge is also not supported here. Plus people are not responsible here for bricked devices or any weird thing that happens.
Towelroot worked for your phone as it is a universal app, made for S5 by the great @geohot, but works for many devices.
EDIT : Well I totally missed the i337 part. Thank you @Lennyz1988.

You need to read more carefully.
You have a I337 model. NOT an I9505 or an I9500. You can't flash other roms to your device. Stick to your model only the AT&T. Try what DeepankarS tells you.From what I remember your stock rom needs to be the same as the rom you are trying to flash.
Thanks for the assistance fellas. And yeah, knowing that I was looking in the wrong threads would have been a better start and I'm lucky I didn't permanently damage my phone. Thanks again for the heads up.

Anytime. But you can always port roms to your phone. There are a lot many ways to port a rom for your phone

Not really scared lol. Last phone I had anything custom on was the s3. Looking around it's obvious things don't work the same.
Only thing I have done with this s4 is root. Now I'm wanting to run a rom without all the extra att bloat. So just wondering what rom and recovery I should go with. I have Nl1 if it matters.
I want the bloat gone but still have the fancy features. Any input is appreciated!

Lots to read. But, in case it isn't immediately obviuos, you will need SafeStrap and its recovery. You will only be able to run, for the most part, TouchWiz roms. No custom recoveries or kernels.
Yeaaa lot of reading done after posting lol. Got safestrap running and recovery. Decided on the golden eye rom. For some reason I lose imei. Created a new Rom slot for it and flashed the module after the rom.
Had this issue on the s3 but can't remember what I did to fix it. If anyone has any ideas let me know.

You have to use the stock slot. You cast use a secondary rom slot

thanks bro working great now. everything i read said creat a rom slot. even a couple vids.
wouldn't hurt to back up efs also along with a nandroid now or however you do it on SafeStrap. Put a copy of both on PC also--:good:
backed up efs with samsung tools. nice to have an app for that now! also did nandroid.
for anyone who comes across this thread. get samsung tools here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/efs-samsung-tool-universal-support-t2602325
