only 4.4.2 with kernel 3.4.0-964333 for G900A

I was testing a stock ROM of G900F, and when flashing it with Safestrap, the kernel does not change, of course I ran with the luck that the rom works well, has not given the time problems.

we are doomed to try roms with 4.4.2 :eek:

Should people not want choices?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] davew41:
We all want choices, hell thats the main reason this forum exists, so we can modify things all over our phones.

BUT the manufactures are trying like crazy to Not let us modify things by making parts of the phone inaccessible like the boot loader for example.

it is a catch 22 they don't want us messing with the phones and then have to fix their software under warranty, and we dont like stock and want to customize our phones..

So until manufactures stop locking the systems down just be glad there are devs here that like the challenge of making them "work" as we want them to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] WizeGuyDezignz:
It has nothing to do with choices, of course choices are good. But when somebody goes into a Samsung purchase with no guarantee of a bootloader unlock let alone root and they say that they hate Touchwiz, it doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

I just think that those people should do their research beforehand and get a phone where they know for sure that they will get what they want.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] eortizr:
This ^
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] harlenm:
I'm perfectly happy with TouchWiz, and I had a nexus5 before this. I like both devices, some things are good with each, as some things are bad.

The only reason for me to root and install a custom rom is to get the things that att blocks, and to be able to tweak the things that I think are stupid, such as the constant WiFi notification.

Otherwise I'm extremely happy with this phone.

My only concern is what happens when 4.4.4 becomes available. Obviously we are stuck with the current kernel, so we won't be able to flash anything other than 4.4.2, and there is no way of knowing if towelroot and safestrap will work on a 4.4.4 stock rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] rachelm920:
I owned a SG3 and had CM on it... so how was I supposed to know I'd be screwed with a SG5?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] RoguePC:
lol? wow....thanks for the positivity :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] WizeGuyDezignz:
I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, so I will answer as if it's a serious question.

If you did even 5 minutes of research before you bought the S5, you would know that a locked bootloader is pretty much a no go for CM. And you would have known that based on the S4, unlocking the bootloader on the S5 was going to be slim to none.

I really don't want to be mean, but I simply can't wrap my head around someone not doing any research before a major purchase. And being on xda, I would think most would have at least basic rooting and bootloader knowledge.

In the end, I'm sorry that you got a phone that probably will never see CM on it.

Question

Is eortizr updating its original post?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] RoguePC:
so it's a REAL kind of laugh then....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Russ77:
there are plenty of choices. for example, of aosp/cm/pa/etc... are highly important, a better choice of device would be a nexus 5, a HTC one m8, a moto x. something with an unlocked or unlockable bootloader. it's been known since the s4 was released that the future if Samsung devices on att means locked bootloaders. that's just how it is.

my honest opinion is that Samsung devices have so many proprietary drivers anyway that aosp based ROMs don't really work right anyway. not on my s3, not in my loki'd s4, and I doubt on the s5.

what Samsung does offer is a choice OTHER than a lightly themed aosp ROM, and that's what Ilike

International Alliance ROM Perfect for AT&T Version

Well I just jumped into the water and flashed this ROM over the AT&T VISIX rooted Rom I was running. I wiped all data except SD card. I did not install ROM Customizer. I went right into SafeStrap Recovery wiped and then installed the .zip file it comes in form my

EXTERNAL SD card

. Little different set up screen and in the settings tab for language and input you have to download the U.S. English language. .APN's right out of the gate were spot on. I tested Texting and calling and they are spot on. Rom comes already rooted with SuperUser installed. Everything works perfect!! Just go for it..but

YOU DO NOT NEED ROM CUSTOMIZER

. Oh ya..the most important thing...I currently have the AT&T version of the standard Galaxy 5....Please make sure your current Rom is Rooted and Safestrapped. Please back up all your apps if you want to keep them .. when you go to restore through Titanium Back up..make sure it has the correct folder location detected and

ONLY RESTORFE APP>>>NOT App WITH DATA....PLEASE

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] gspears:
The G900A has a locked bootloader so there are limitations as to what we can flash. But if you do want to flash a different rom, you need to:

1. root

2. install Safe Strap

3. Pick a rom that is compatible and flash it.

Again, if you go to the questions and answers section and general section of the AT&T G900A forum and read a lot it will help you. You don't want to risk your phone by doing something incorrect.

You need to educate yourself and BE CAREFUL.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] gspears:
Well it's my understanding that the connection to the computer is kernel related and your kernel has not been changed since you have a locked bootloader so that doesn't make sense. I would try reloading the LATEST USB drivers, using a different cable, and using a different USB cable.

If that doesn't help, you might ask the question in the ViSiON-X forum.

And BTW, there is a G900A specific rom ViSiX that is similar to the rom you are using.

Then you might want to check to make sure the rom downloaded correctly by checking the MD5. After you are sure the download is good you might want to dirty flash the rom over again and see if that fixes your problem. You also might want to try a G900A specific rom to see if you have the same issue.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LuckyColdJohnson:
We can get around that though. I can just add what I want from the "Extra Folder"......I will report back when done flashing...

(Aroma Based Roms)

You can. You just have to take the stuff you want out of the optional aroma install folders and place them in the corresponding /system folders such as /system/app. Then you have to edit the stuff in the meta-inf folder or, easier, replace the meta-inf folder with one from a non-aroma based rom, then just flash as normal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LuckyColdJohnson:
It would not work. I think it has to do with the "Setup" file I left on there. It flashed up to the setup installing. Busy BOx and Tether Remove Boost items. Maybe if I took that Setup file out It will work. I'm not going to because I believe the ROM needs those scripts installed. I have multi back ups so I am good. Also have a restore thread for Active if need be.

This ROM can work with modifications to the Zips files. You will just miss some features deleting the setup file as stated above. As an Active S 5 owner, I'm used to that anywayz. I run S 5 Roms.
