[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
why the copies of our methods, no thanks gs

right i did have v7 working with a lot of FCs yesterday but i grabbed v8 and have to start over again basically.. im not porting the roms with patches... the ones i chose to do are needing TLC.

any feedback on those 3 ROMs in restorable form? also just a side note I'm having much better luck using the NC2 modem/modules/hlos to get wifi working vs NC5 anymore. i didnt have a problem initially with NC5 at all now it seems like this is the case with most.... havent really had time to get into it tho... would like feedback on 3 posted tho for me only issue was Wifi not working right in them with NC5. nc2 i did have luck with.

also just a note to all you just randomly stopping in...

This was and is the 1st thread created / method derived to installing with root and installing custom 4.4.2 roms. This was created days before the other thread and the other thread uses this same method (they even changed it to no bootloaders now too..finally and they got rid of the broken downgrade tar and soft bricking phone tars I saw , lol) but we were first. Thats a fact the words/methods/trials and errors were spoken and used and tried here in this thread and phones were bricked by a few people getting to this point if you don't believe me check the time frames. I was workin on 2 different methods to bring 4.4.2 to verizon for 3 months before the release actually took place. So please stop coming in here and saying ahhh I used this and this method and leading away from the true source... we did it with .zip files in SS 1st, we did it with Odin files and SS 1st, we did it with no bootloaders 1st, we did the root stock ROM via safestrap 1st and we perfected the upgrade / downgrade methods 1st (our files worked their files were broken) so its good to see their catching up but were on different levels. If your a n00b go there otherwise lets acknowledge the hard work and dedication others tried so hard testing and breaking their phones for you... I'm a little annoyed by this crap maybe because i was one of the bricked phones used in testing but also because these facts are realized or whatever simply because I dont have a 1300 +1s but these are the facts. everything you need to do or want to do with 4.4.2 is here and has been nearly a week before it was ever taken somewhere else... read the thread and search for information or don't post. phoenix was literally one of our test ROM's and porting it is automatic if you follow the OP. other ROM's are picky or use specific files if you FC in one simply try finding the file that is giving an FC or a variant of the file in either the NC5 or NC2 stock ROMs and insert them via Safestrap File Browser for example... this is the easiest way. I've had literally every ROM for International 4.4.2 and the 4.4.2 ROMs from AT&T, TMobile and I'm checking out the Sprint ones today. all except Purified (not sure whats up with that if anyones got it going let me know your ways) let me in eventually sometimes the 1st boot takes longer on these 4.4.2 ROMs than normal and you end up giving up just before it would have let you in (2nd and 3rd boots are usually less than 20 sec).
