Hey, just wondering if it was possible to enable ART on stock 4.4.2 GS3, when I was running CM11 I was able to do it, but now I don't see that option in the developer menu. Just wondering if there was a way.

Stock 4.4 is not supporting ART, you need custom rom.

Hey I saw this ( http{ colon} //true-android{dot}blogspot{dot}com/2013/12/update-motorola-droid-razr-hd-xt926-to_16{dot}html ) which says it is possible to put Kitkat on xt926 usinf Safestrap and was wondering if it would work with a locked bootloader? It mentions Safestrap at least but I've a feeling it isn't possible as Safestrap roms use the current kernel which mine has 4.1.2. Also I've heard there might be a way to get at least CM10.1 but everything I've tried has failed :crying:
(haven't made 10 posts yet so can't give link normally : / )

To my knowledge, there is no 4.4 based SS compatible ROM yet. Also, the CM wiki says that CM is only compatible with an unlocked BL. There was a SS compatible CM10.1 running around, but I don't think it's around anymore.

Yeah I've looked around for that CM10.1 but every where I look the file is gone. Thanks for clarifying that for me.
The issue with KitKat is it's a different kernel. In order to reap the benefits of KitKat, you need to run the latest kernel.
SafeStrap for the RAZR HD can only install ROMs using the same kernel as whatever you currently have on your phone. Unlike SafeStrap for the OG RAZR, which uses kexec to allow you to load any kernel, the HD version doesn't have kexec. Therefore, don't expect to see a SS KitKat ROM.
But, the RAZR HD is scheduled to get KitKat. Just not sure when. I would say sometime after March, 2014.
So, I've been kinda digging around slightly. Between the Cyanogen mod site, and XDA. Everything says you want like 4.2.2 or previous to that basically to root your device or thats what most of the write ups are for anyways.
What I can't find is tutorials on how to revert your phone BACK to something older so I can root my phone. Its kinda been a pain in the butt because my stock rom keeps messing up on me. (Gotta love touchwiz & Verizon...)
So I've been wanting to get back to CM.
So has Verizon finally hit the top of the asshole tree and locked the bootloader to where we can't do anything anymore? And rooting a device that is on stock 4.4.2 isn't possible anymore?

Rooting is possible (towelroot) but reverting to a previous version, 4.3, 4.1.2 or anything else once on 4.4.2 is no longer an option

Got any links to documentation so I could accomplish this?
And whats good for a nice lean running snappy rom thats clean. I essentially just want to get to a point where my phone works properly without lag.

Are you on 4.4.2? And towelroot.com is where to get it. If your on 4.4.2 your only option is to install safestrap and go from there. Custom roms aren't an option anymore
Safestrap for 4.4.2 NE1

My suggestion is to read, read and read again

Yeah. 4.4.2 stock.
Since I'm running 4.4.2 Kitkat on my GS3, I'm locked out of the bootloader, however, I know that there are a few custom ROMs I can install on my phone that are based on Touchwiz.
Can anyone either provide a link to those ROMs on here, or post an external link to them? I've been looking around, and I can't find much.

No problem. As long as your kernel date is before June 2014 (although it may be July 2014) you can root with towelroot and run safestrap with the few touchwiz based roms.
Here's what you need

Hey guys. I am curious as how we can currently root the AT&T LG G3 on the D85020L software and how to install TWRP as well. I had previously done that on KitKat but I had decided to go back to stock because of CM12 bugs. However, I am looking to do it again, and I want to know how to properly do it. Thanks. Btw, does AutoRec still work on this build?

Good day
Previously I had a Galaxy S3 and I was using CyanogenMod – Loved it!
I just always preferred a phone that was clean and lean without all the bloatware.
Now I’m with the S5 and there is possibly an option available for a custom ROM for my phone?
Currently –
SAMSUNG GALAXY S5 SM-G900A AT&T
Lollipop 5.0 G900AUCU3BOC4
So far as I can tell this phone could not be rooted.
Until a few days ago I got a notice in an email that it was now available.
I was on their mailing list if something should become available.
oneclickroot
I know you can’t go backward LP 5.0 – KK 4.4.
One can only go forward, LP 5.0 - LP 5.1 or LP 5.0 – Marshmallow.
However most of what I have seen out there for my phone has been LP 5.0.
At present I’m looking at these unless someone can suggest something else.
TMS5 3.0 ROM LP5.0
Twi5ted lollipop V7 LP 5.0
Alliance V8 ROM LP5.0
My question is, can I go from LP 5.0 (Stock) to LP 5.0 (Custom)?

If you've got the locked bootloader then you're out of luck rooting and flashing TWRP/Cyanogenmod.

Actually the phone is rooted now. Right after I posted this I used Kingroot king481.apk and Titanium Backup is installed and Root Check confirmed its now rooted. Although I have not tried the Bootloader...... With my luck that is another issue..... I wonder if I should try the first step with the Bootloader and see if SAFESTRAP or TWRP can install?

Safestrap is no longer supported and with locked bootloader you're not gonna get TWRP to work.

HI all, I'm new here and this Is my first post (question), Is There any solution to this issue (sm-g900a not taking custom recovery)?, I need (really want) to install android pie and magisk on my att g9005a,and most of the posts (including this one) are several years old.
Really appreciate an an answer, even if its still, "sorry, still out of luck",
Also, is this a good place for this, or should i start a new thread?
Thanks.

Your device is an AT&T variant, your device has a locked bootloader, you can't install custom recovery with a locked bootloader. The bootloader on your device can not be unlocked, you will never be able to install custom recovery on your device. If you want custom recovery you will have to get another device because you will never be able to use custom recovery on the device that you already have.
