One of three things is possible: Wrong ROM. Not following procedure of full wipe blah blah blah, or bad download. How many different ROMs have you tried? Maybe rty it with CWM. I have heard of people having trouble with TWRP. What you're describing was the problem I had with Alliance ROM. Couldn't get it to work no matter what. Never did find a work around for it.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gatorhater73:
I've done full wipes with all of my attempts, and I've tried multiple ROMs, so I'm hoping CWM takes care of the issue. Everything else works great, it's just like the modem drops off the face of the earth. Even tried multiple kernels. Just to confirm, wipe system, data, dalvik and cache, flash ROM, flash kernel, and that should be it, right? Shouldn't need to flash a modem or anything, right? Thanks for the help... Bought this phone on swappa and didn't know it was a dev edition. Kinda cool, but I'm worried I'll screw something up.

hey.. i have a g900v (i know locked BL and us variant) but was wondering if anyone could direct me to or tell me if at all possible on how to port lets say the 5.0 dialer to a 444 rom?

I have tried to build a custom rom but the file structure is slightly different. I can extract the tar using rickys kitchen (Thank You!) but the app and priv app folders contain:

1) the apk

2) an "arm" folder

3) apk.odex.art.xz archive in arm folder

4) apk.odex.xz archive in arm folder

extracting the odex.art.xz it gives a apk.odex.art and the other extracted leaves a apk.odex file..

I have tried adding the apk and arm folder, ive tried extracting the xz and adding to rom but cant even get it to boot lol

So if anyone has a suggestion on how to push something to a 444 device or if it just wont work id appreciate it!

I would just like to use some of the apks such as dialer, settings, maybe systemui to give the 444 rom a bit of L look to it.. (US carriers are behind international variants so I do not know when or if this month wed get an update)

---------- Post added at 01:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------

fyi i am using a stock 444 base for my device.. and since we have a locked BL i cant flash a 5.0 kernel until source drops for my variant so that is why im ttrying to get some from the BNL2 g900f 5.0 tar to use on my 444 rom

At&t S5 on 4.4.4 and NG3

Hey guys,

I recently rooted my S5 (At&t/4.4.4/NG3) and I want to install a custom ROM now but I'm having trouble. The only guides and files I find are for ND3 and not NG3. I have heard since they have a locked bootloader, I cannot install Cyanogenmod.

If I can't install Cyanogenmod, I would be OK with installing Hyperdrive or something similar. What is the best way to go about this?

Thanks!!

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr. Fed:
Thanks. I've been trying to make sense of this as well, because obviously there is a fundamental difference between flashing an AOSP-based Lollipop rom versus a Samsung TW rom. But I still don't get it exactly, and for the purpose of being a well informed Android user, I humbly ask you or anyone to help me understand this. I can flash CM12 Alpha on my variant (900T) no problem. Is this because CM roms do not somehow tie the bootloader and modem together?

I know that official Odin tar files from Samsung check certain restrictions before allowing an Odin flash, for example the presence of a newer bootloader on the device prevents flashing an Odin tar with an older bootloader. But supposedly even a zip file of the official Samsung Lollipop rom (Poland NL2) would fail in custom recovery. So does that mean that the rom is somehow checking either the version number or the current bootloader, and if it is not the right version, it aborts???

I'd just like to understand why/how. Thanks in advance.

Alright guys.

My SM-G900F is the first Android I have purchased. I hate the TouchWiz even in Lollipop so decided to install CM12. Now, I used a guide on androidsould.com. Rooted the phone, installed TWRP and QuickBoot. Put it in Recovery mode in QuickBoot, went to TWRP to back it up and boom. Every time I try to turn on the phone it says that every possible app has stopped working (Smart Remote, UI, TouchWiz homescreen, etc) and then it would go black screen. The only thing that works is download mode. It won't even connect to the PC.

I done ducked up. :(

EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED. Went to the recovery mode (Volume Up + Home + Power) and did a full wipe and reboot.

You can't install a custom rom from a stock recovery.

A little more info (from AllianceRom op)

Step 1-

Install Rom Customizer from Playstore

Step 2-

Make Sure You Have a Custom Recovery - TWRP or Philz

Step 3-

Put ROM on sd. Open rom customizer. Select install from zip. Choose whether to install samsung bloat, google bloat or blackglass. Choose install. Press reboot now and wait....

Step 4-

Once booted open Alliance Manager from app drawer to create needed folder structures

Step 5-
