Hi,
New to the forums so hopefully this is the right forum to ask such a question. After scouring the net for awhile, I've come across that the bootloader for vzw I545 4.3 can not be unlocked. However, the post was a few years ago. Is this the case? If not, could someone point me in the right direction of getting it unlocked? Fairly new to the whole rom scene, only installed a couple so far. Those were on a S3, and I have only rooted this phone, no OTA updates, just the version it came with from the shop I got it from.
Phone Spec's:
VZW S4-SCH I545
Android Vers. 4.3
SE for Android Enforcing
Kernel 3.4.0
Baseband 1545VRUEMK2
Phone is rooted.
If you all need more information let me know.
Thanks,
Lopkey

Is there any Stock Firmware And Kernels Out there yet For Strait Talk's Released Samsung Galaxy SII Model (SGH-S959G) yet? I'm rooted with the At&t root and can't flash Custom Recovery.:silly: and Looking for the stock firmware and kernel to flash to completely stock to be able to re-root for this exact model the SGH-S959G. It's only been released since late August so I'm sure there's got to be something in the works now or soon since it's still pretty new. If there is any info on this or where I could find the Original Android Development for this model would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I posted something similar to this a week or 2 ago figured id give it another shot to see if there is any updated info.

Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 I535 (Verizon) and have been done with flashing custom roms for a while now. I figured I would just wait until my contract is up in May go to At&t and get the Nexus 5 (straight off Google's site). I actually got in the mood to put Cyanogenmod on my phone until my contract is finally up. I hear all of this talk about Knox and once you upgrade to 4.3 I535VRUCML1 there is no turning back.
Can someone with plenty of experience confirm that there is absolutely no possible way to get Cyanogenmod on my phone at this point without bricking it. I have been searching all over the web and just can't figure it out. Some people are coming up with guides to flash a hacked version of the VRUCML1 update and then install CWM and Cyanogenmod from there.
So the main question is...
Is it possible at all to ever get CWM / Cyanogenmod back on my S3 that currently has the latest (4.3 I535VRUCML1). I am willing to attempt anything since I am getting rid of the phone in 2 months. Also not selling it afterwards since screen is cracked.
There is no way yet, but maybe soon. A post looked promising a few days ago.
I'll post here if I find something.

I also am very interested in this topic, same build phone and also want to use Cynogenmod
Hello, I just got a brand new verizon galaxy s6 edge, and I do not want to make a mistake and have to return it like I did when I got my first one... Last time, I used the verizon software on my comp to update the phone and it brought up to 5.1.1 which is a currently unrootable version of android as far as I know... so I returned it... Anyways...
My most major question is can I take the first OTA update and still be able to root?
The phone comes with OC3, which is rootable, and then the first OTA update is OE2 which is also rootable with ping pong root, correct? How do I know what version of android the OTA is going to install? Because I do not want to go to 5.1.1 like the verizon software did. I want to update to OE2. Also, is OE2 still the highest version of android for this phone that is rootable?
Next, how do I get xposed on this phone because the fragmentation of the software is quite confusing at this point... it isnt as easy and straight forward as my old GS4 running KK
Thank you to anyone that can help me with this!
r u sure its 5.0.2, i returned my galaxy s6 yesterday and got a new one, its still 5.1.1
Yes, it's brand new.. Not refurbished
Wait, it's already oe2! The one I bought 2 weeks ago had oc3 so I assumed this one shipped with that too. Thanks for asking! Lol
You should ODIN to OE2 and then root with Ping Pong. That will give you the latest version that is rootable, without going through the OTA updates.

I believe you will need to install a deodexed ROM after that to use Xposed on 5.0.2
Pretty sure you need 5.1.1 for xposed and its not available for Verizon anyways due to the locked bootloader. If I am wrong someone please correct me, as I would love to have xposed on this phone.
Recently switched from Sprint to AT&T. I have been using a S4 I337. I am happy with it. Rooted it. Not happy with volume but I am happy. Bought another for my wife but it had 5.0 on it. I had tried that but did not like it. I used ODIN and flashed hers but it has 4.4.2. Would like matching phones ( I have a touch of OCD). Seems I can't find the update. Does anyone have it or know where
(link) ? I thank you ahead of time.

Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337
Baseband version: I337UCUGOK2
Kernel version: 3.4.0-6185444
[email protected] #1
Build number: LRX22C.I337UCUGOK2
I am going to be using an old S4 from At&t until I save up for something better.
It has been recovered to its original state and It will not let me do a software update past 5.0.1 because At&t has never pushed it out.
The phone is also now being used with Cricket wireless.
I would like to be able to just use the most recent stock update from Samsung and get rid of any trace of AT&T from this phone if I can but I don't know for a fact if Samsung ever updated the S4.
If that's not an option, then where do I start learning about custom ROMs, and how to know what's supported etc.?
I don't care about voiding ANYTHING in this endeavor.
I'm an old G33K but rooting, and custom ROMs are new to me. I have spent countless hours on YouTube but it's filled with so much useless info as I'm sure you all know.
Thank you so much for your time in reading this & any reply.

Greetings and welcome to assist. I don't think samsung updated the s4 past 5.0, you could just root your phone to remove any at&t apps. There is a very simple guide here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/how-to-installed-custom-lollipop-rom-t3135396
on how to install a custom rom on your device
Good Luck
