Hi I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 for Verizon. I want to be able to downgrade. But possible in my situation I might not have to. I rooted my phone using towelroot and then installed busybox then safestrap v3.7.5. Made a back up copy of my stock 4.4.2 Rom and flash SuperLiteRom V5 over the stock rom slot.
I have a decent modded phone now. (I'll post the features of SuperLiteRom below to help my point here.) To my understanding I wouldn't be able to downgrade because of KNOX. However SuperLiteRom in the features says it's DeKNOXed. Does this mean I would be able to downgrade?
Or better yet install Team Win Recovery Project or ClockWorkMod to use cyanogenmod. Or the S3 being a touchwiz based phone I could only use the variants of 4.4.2 like SuperLiteRom?
If so does any body have any links to different Custom Roms I can install on SafeStrap v3.7.5? Thanks a ton. Hope I provided enough information.

Hello,
Verizon devices with 4,3 or newer firmware have locked bootloader and can not downgrade, they can only upgrade and once upgraded can't go back to what was installed before updating. Attempting to downgrade in any way will certainly brick your device, this has been tried many times and many people have tried to hack a way around it, all that has been accomplished are permanently bricked devices or devices that had to be put in a shop to be repaired at the hardware level.
Basically, give up on the idea of downgrading period, it isn't gonna happen, EVER!
Sorry but that is the truth and it isn't changing anytime soon. Verizon did this on purpose.

Hi. I'm running Skynoye 4.3 Edition ROM on my Note 2 i317. I love this ROM and its based of of an official leak for 4.3 update. I also love stock android but this being a note 2, it has an spen which requires a lot of proprietary software inside touchwiz to run at its full compasity. I also love touchwiz features. Is there a way for me to dual boot touchwiz and an aosp ROM like cyanogen or paranoid android? And also can the two Roms share all data like apps and documents? Thanks in advance.
Happy Tinkering.
Best wishes,

Dear XDA community
I recently bought 2 Samsung devices: the Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) and the Galaxy S5. P605 and G900F.
I used to install cyanogen mod on my devices, because I like a slim android system with only the most necessary apps and features. For both my devices the cyanogen mod is not available yet, which means they are both still unused in my desk.
I have read several threads where people were informed that they lose key features of those devices if installed with a custom ram and also that it is senseless to buy those devices and then flashing them with a custom rom. So I am aware of all that, non the less I am curious if there is a good slim mod that can support as many key features as possible but come without any pre installed google play and android stuff on them.
Any advice on making my devices usable with any mod would be much appreciated. Pointing me in the right direction of a mod that supports my devices would already be enough usually I can figure out everything else on my own.
Obviously I already googled but there seem to be many fake pages around and Im unsure what to trust.
Thank you for your time and consideration
I'm not specialist about Sammy devices, but I know that latest Cyanogen version CM 11 hasn't ported to your both devices yet.
I can give some links, but I cannot tell you which roms are best than other.
For your Galaxy Note 10.1 -2014 - P605
If you want a really light rom, you need to wait a release like Slim - Omni or CM
Go here => Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition)

You have this rom :

Have a look around this thread and maybe try out different ROMs that may be better suited to your needs http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/orig-development
wow that was fast for answers, thank you guys!
Is there like an overview of the most common mods? as in their name, what their goal/idea is?
Or how can I easily find a mod that supports my galaxy Note 10.1? Or did you mean you can give me a link of a mod that does support it philos64?
For my S5 I will use the unofficial Cyanogen mod for now as suggested by fxdil. Thank you for that.
fxdil, does the link you gave me work for my S5? also it says unified, does that mean it works for all devices, could I also install that on my tab?
Actually I cannot give a link for a rom, because you don't have pure AOSP for your Galaxy 10.1 - 2014
But you can go to see Cyanogen Mod website for seeing when a version could be released => Cyanogen Mod Website
I'm going to closed this thread because all links has been provided
If you need more technical infos about specific rom, go to the different threads -
Thanks in advance and good luck
I read that the bluetooth been fixed in the new Lollipop Korean build (P900KXUBOG6), which you can download from sammobile website.
I downloaded and flashed using Odin 3.09. Once flashed, and booted, I changed the language (on the first setup screen) from Korean to US English. After that, just finish the setup. Once done, all of my bluetooth items (two different type of Logitech keyboards, including my Logitech keyboard case) worked again.
Both keyboards were broken on the US build of LP 5.0.2. Everything operates as usual with the Korean build. No issues encountered yet. It even seems to have fixed my flashing screen issues.
If you don't want to wait for a US fix, try the link above. It's pretty painless to install via Odin.
Not having done this before myself, will flashing with Odin uograde the current version or will it be a fresh installation where you have to start from scratch?
Good to see that Samsung is addressing the problem, but it seems like ages before they release this version to the rest of the world...
See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-pro-12/help/logitech-keyboard-pro-android-5-0-2-t3150523 - someone had problems after doing a dirty flash on top of a different stock 5.02 and needed to do a full wipe. I'm personally going to try a dirty flash of the Korean 5.02 on top of my Netherlands stock 5.02 on my unrooted Knox 0x0 P900. I really hope I'll not need do do a wipe & have to reinstall everything.

I'd back up your install as it stands first... because installing a stock rom will almost certainly wipe the tablet during the install. Or use Titanium to back up all your apps and settings first, and only then install the Korean rom. Just a suggestion...

I wish this would work with my Att&t Note!

Can't do a Titanium Backup - not rooted ?
But when I flashed the Netherlands 5.02 on top of the stock UK 4.4 my apps remained intact.

Well, your user data should be safe enough... I'd probably try flashing the Korean rom if I still had my logitech keyboard, which I don't. But I'm kinda crazy when it comes to flashing roms. If it came from Samsung, it seems fairliy low-risk...?

Anyone of you guys get it work on Samsung phones with custom ROM? My Gear Fit doesn't work properly anymore once I installed custom ROM on my Note 4 N910G. Thanks guys...
I have a Note5 soft ported (Sixperience, from @geiti94) to my Note4 and everything is working just fine.

sixperience is a TW-basexd ROM, isn't it? Resurrection Remix 5.1.1 is AFAIK CM-based. It should work but with the same shortcomings of all non Samsung phones or even of all the unsupported phones like the OnePlus One, 2 etc.
I would say you have to install the needed applications manually and then live with an incomplete Gear Store and incomplete notification handling.
I would like to port TAB S2 Nougat Rom for my Note 4 N910K Exynos 5433 phone. I always flashed custom roms but all of them have too many features and I all want is stock Nougat for Note 4. I don't need the S-pen functionality just Nougat and network to work nicely.
I never did any rom development or any compiling but I'm willing to learn.
It would be really appreciated if someone could list all the software and steps for porting.
As I said I have no idea how its done but I know that I need stock base firmware and kernel so it actually boots up.
