Couldn't even be bothered to read the first few posts of the Safestrap thread?
You can run AOSP roms like CM and Omni, but nothing based on Lollipop

If they are on a locked bootloader no custom roms can be installed at all

Hey guys. Sorry if this has already been addressed somewhere around here, but I have a pretty specific question that I'd like answered. I recently rooted my TF300T and installed the latest TWRP recovery. I've flashed a couple of different stock-based roms (Energy and CleanROM) without any hiccups, but when I try to flash any roms that are 4.2.2 I get bootloops. Is there something that I need to be doing different since I'm coming from 4.2.1? I never dirty flash. Thanks in advance for any help!

Maybe a bit confusing but those particular 4.2.2 ROMs use the 4.1 bootloader and won't run if you have upgraded to 4.2.1 because of the new bootloader. That's the reason that I won't be upgrading anytime soon.
Yeah, it's for 10.4 bootloader. You hace luck that you haven't been bricked yet

Not confusing at all and perfectly answers my question! Not sure how I missed that, but I'm glad that my issue isn't just some big screw-up on my part. Hopefully they'll come up with some more ROMs based on the 4.2 bootloader soon! I finally took the plunge and rooted after debating on whether or not I wanted to for several months....got tired of the lag. Too bad I can't really take full advantage of having a custom ROM with an OC kernel as of yet. I gotta say though...I'm digging this Energy ROM. Sweet looks and pretty smooth as well.
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:

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.
You'll have to forgive me as I am fairly new to rooting and flashing custom roms but I have a possibly ignorant question. I recently purchased an already rooted verizon S III with CM 10.2 off Swappa and would like to flash the Alliance rom build 23 and was wondering if custom roms such as the Alliance rom come with anything Knox related in the rom? From what I have read I want to avoid anything with knox or 4.3 OTA related like the plague. Am I safe from any of the issues related to this if I install Alliance or another custom rom? Any insight on this would be appreciated. Thanks

You are safe with flashing any custom rom except the ones that say "locked bootloader only". Every 4.3 TouchWiz rom is deknoxed and the bootloader is removed. Stay away from the stock 4.3 or 4.4 builds and you'll be fine.

Awesome, your thanks meter just went up sir. Flashed the Alliance Rom and using the KT kernel and loving it so far. Gotta thank the Alliance team also, mad props to all that made it possible. Still a lot of exploring to do and I'm sure I'll have more questions but mad props to XDA too for being the go to place for answers and help.
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?

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.

For the pass few days I've been looking for a compatible Kernel to OC my S5 (Sprint SM-G900P). I've found some kernels but I'm unsure if they're compatible with Marshmallow 6.0.1 which I updated OTA. I'm currently rooted and have TWRP Recovery installed. Also if it helos, the last update I instakked/ am currently on is G900PVPS3CQB3.

first off, i dont recommend ever instakking anything, its just uncouth secondly, are you running stock touchwiz? if so, i havent seen any custom kernels for anything TW 6.0.1 and up.
Yea im runnubg stock touchwiz Marshmallow 6.0.1. I was thinking ill be able to flash any kernel for the G900P but last android i did that to ended up bricked so i second thought that idea. Also other varients of the S5 already have OC kernels so how come this one doesn't ? ?

This variant of the S5 does have OC kernels, just not for touchwiz on 6.0.1 because development pretty much stopped for TW based ROMs after MOAR for the most part. Pretty forgotten phone now as the world has moved on with sprints unlocking policy and ineptitude. If you want to go AOSP, youre not short for choice tho. AOSP seems to be the preferred flavor for the G900P (probably easier to code), but AOSP fallsh short in a few key areas that makes me want to see more current TW ROMs available for it, but if i wasnt using this phone still, id not be in this area of XDA either. The problem that youre running in to is that TW based ROMs need TW based kernels.
i did find this kernel for 6.0.1 TW ROMs, if that helps
