As we all know it was made for Verizon. I hate being on stock with prepaid of Verizon. The only custom rom I found that is touchwiz based, on 4.4 and for Verizon was superliterom. So what I'm trying to do is use superliterom by flashing it through safestrap 4.0. Now I have the nf5 module that was provided by the person who made superliterom and flashing the module made my Wi-Fi work just I've noticed some bugs. The boot animations never work. It's just a black screen. I keep getting that the system isn't responding and prompts to force close. Also I've noticed that it don't bring the on screen keyboard up even though it says it's installed. And the back, home, or menu keys don't work. So that being said, any idea how I can possibly rebuild the rom that's originally made for Verizon to be able to use on the prepaid side known as nf5 firmware that's 4.4.2. I really just am tired of stock and really need a custom one. Just one at least. If a dev could pick up on this an rebuild it for the prepaid side or make a custom one for prepaid would be greatly appreciated
Any help anyone? I know this phone is old but I can't give up on it
Any help would be appreciated guys.

The dev is still active on the SLR thread, saw him there today.
The other TW based custom rom for the d2vzw/i535 on the 4.4.2 bootloader is PaulPizz Rom. I'll see if I can find the link.

Hi everyone,
I know just enough about custom ROMs to make me dangerous. Enough rope to hang myself, if you will.
I rooted my Samsung S3 (Rogers) SGH-i747 from 4.1.2 stock rom, then went to Quantum custom rom which is fantastic. However, with the S5 around the corner and 4.4 kitkat inching towards the S3, I'll be giving this phone to my wife and want it back to stock with OTA updates. (a counter reset would be awesome but only a bonus) I'm using the bootloader I747MVLUEMK5.
Is it safe to flash a stock 4.3 OTA rom from here and if so, how do I go about doing it?
Thanks in advance
anyone else?

Nice! I admit that the firmware was confusing for me on this phone, but thanks to dottat's posts, I figured it out.
This clears things up a lot and should help quite a few people.

I managed to figure out the firmware largely due to dottat. There were multiple threads of various age, some with seemingly conflicting advice. This goes for most device forums I follow. There was no authoritative resource, IMO, until this thread.
The search feature was key, I am pretty thorough before embarking in firmware upgrades.

Your OP does contain the required information and instructions, so I can't really complain. One thing that could be helpful is to list the bootloader version info for each firmware release. You listed the most recent one right at the top of the thread, so at least it is easy to tell whether a given device is on the latest firmware or not. Because your thread is the main firmware thread, perhaps it would be best if the OP were organized into sections for 4.4.2, 4.4.3, and 4.4.4. It could be clarified which partitions are modified in the process, and whether the radios are affected. Install instructions could be put in their own spot.
These are only ideas! Also, your thread should probably be stickied. Thanks for all you do.

Firmware flash
Hello everyone. I am new to this Forum. I've only been here a few days. I have an Unlocked/S-Off Verizon HTC One M8 that I recently purchased from Ebay. I had a little trouble for a while when I first got it as it was running 4.4.2 and I took the OTA update to 4.4.3 and it messed up the phone. I didn't know it was Unlocked/S-Off'd. And the seller said it wasn't rooted any more. Well so now that I know it is even after running the Verizon RUU, I was wondering if I need to upgrade the firmware one upgrade at a time (meaning 4.4.3 and then 4.4.4)? Or can I jump to a 5.01 Lollipop ROM? I have TWRP installed and I used Flashify to install it. I'm hoping to use Flashify more for installing zips. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you....oh and I'm loving this M8!!!!

Rom and firmware are to separate things. You can flash straight to 4.4.4 firmware and then flash a lollipop Rom or any custom Rom.

Hello dottat. Thank you for replying to my question(s). Yes I know that a ROM is different than firmware. I was just wondering if I had to upgrade my firmware one update at a time or if I could just jump from 4.4.2 to say 5.0 or 5.01 so that if I wanted to I could put a custom ROM on my M8. I'm not actually sure how high the firmware upgrades go. I've only seen 4.4.4 as the highest so far.

update process on factory unlocked VZW M8 used with GSM
Hi!
I am getting a verizon factory unlocked model and i am going to use it on a GSM network in india.Since its factory unlocked there should be no issues with the network. .however i had some doubts about the software updates. .so will i be able to receive and install updates normally without resorting to rooting the phone. .some people reported that they had an issue installing the update where it said that they have to be on CDMA or something like that. .Will i be able to overcome such issues by connecting to wifi?Is someone could shed a little light on how the update process works when used abroad with a GSM carrier it would be great!Thank you so much in advance!

You will always be able to install the s-on ruu from here. The problem is that the latter versions of software while sim unlocked have proven very difficult to use on some carriers because you can no longer edit apn. You have to chose from pre-provided apn and thats only if they show up with your SIM card inserted.
You would be really wise to s-off the phone even if you don't root it as this would be the only way to downgrade if you ended up not having a workable situation on the newer software.
Earlier, the awesome Novembre5 had ported a T-Mobile 4.4.2 ROM for D800 users. This is awesome because we get to use WiFi Calling on our D800's even if we are on T-Mobile SIM's.
Now T-Mobile and AT&T finally have Android 5.0 Lollipop Builds out. We would greatly appreciate if someone could port this ROM over for us. I reached out to Novembre5 again, but he hadn't responded.
To that extent, lets put a bounty on it and see how badly people really want the Port.
I am willing to put $10 to whoever is able to port it for us.
If others are interested, do reply to this thread and I'll keep updating the list.
Pledges
1) aatifsumar: $10
2) wtang: $10
Total so far: $20
I think work should be done to decouple the ROM from the wifi-calling feature. I don't want to have to leave CloudyStock 2.7.
also, if you're serious, start an escrow service
I also use my D800 on T-Mobile. I'd love to be running official Lollipop with WiFi calling working! Count me in for $10.
Seems like a cool idea. However is not WiFi calling available for T-mobile costumers only, due to you need to register with T-mobile?

Yes, the ported ROM would be used by T-Mobile customers. Would not offer any advantages over the regular AT&T ROM for non T-Mo users.

I wonder if indiegogo could function for this, though that would probably start from the developer side, and we need to start from the bait side. IE, people commit, their money enters escrow, and is only released from the pot when the requirements are met. The pot grows until a developer comes along and get tempted.

I'm confused. If all you did was switch the D800 modem for the D801 modem, and everything else is the same, then that means you're running your D800 with a D801 kernel? I assume the T-Mobile flashable Lollipop ROM in the link contains a D801 Lollipop kernel. I thought you can't run a kernel from another variant G2 on the AT&T G2. Can somebody clarify?

Thanks for your reply. And thanks for figuring this out and sharing with the rest of us. I may try this when I get home tonight.
One question though. The AT&T D800 has an extra noise cancellation microphone on the back above the camera that the T-Mobile D801 doesn't have. I wonder if using the D801 kernel and ROM means that extra mic no longer works. Either way, it's not a big deal.

I dont know about that.. I guess last time with kitkat i used custom kernel. May be once on lollipop we can flash custom kernel.
I used to be really into all the rooting and flashing. Well the bug has hit again. I have the tmobile variant and have read a couple users stating international Roms can be flashed onto this model. So my question is if it is only certain Roms, or all international Roms? Currently running stock rooted just curious to know if there are other options before I flash everything in our section. Thanks for any and all help you guys can provide.

Hi Everyone!
I was hoping someone with more experience could answer something for me. Does anyone know if we can flash international roms on the n920W8 canadian note 5?
I remember back when I had a t-mobile note 5, I could flash international roms as long as i flashed a working kernel and flash audio call fix.
I would love to try international roms, but I can't seem to get them to boot up.
Any help would greatly be appreciated and I will certainly remember to hit your thanks button!!!
Yes you can.
Spend some more time reading around for w8 specific content/how to so I don't misinform you.
I use the n5 express version 5 from rmarinella http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-note5/development/rom-n5-express-1-0d-t3326638
I've tried some others that require doing some extra stuff to get working.
But that rom I install it and it works how I like with almost nothing I do not like.
