I have the Samsung galaxy s4 ME7 and I want to flash cyanogen mod on my phone and last time I checked twrp could not bypass the boot loader.
Can someone send me a link to a video or thread that can walk me through the process of flashing this ROM.

Since your on me7 your only option is safestrap. Only tw roms are compatiblr with it tho so no cm.

I suggest doin a bit of research next time. Its been posted atleast 100 times you cant install a custom recovery on me7. Your phone will.still boot if you shut it off then use the buttom combo for download mode and then deny it. I also suggest downloading the stock me7 image and flashing it so you get back your stock recovery. Check out the safestrap thread in the general and dev sections, hashcode is working on a method to get custom TW roms on me7.

Oh yeah if you want some customization google and download "xposed framework" and the wanam module from the play store. I went from a custom rom to an me7 based stock rom in conjunction with xposed and wanam and its pretty damn good IMO. Youll atleast be able to give it a custom rom feel.

I might be a little confused here. For instance hyperdrive rom shows it supports me7, but we cannot get custom recovery to install it? is that correct?

It has an me7 base for the rom. The me7 firmware on your phone wont let you flash a recovery. The Rom base and the firmware on your phone are two different things.
I was wondering if the verizon galaxy s4 with hyperdrive rom is able to flash a custom kernel to it. The last time i tried flashing a kernel to it i had a hard brick happen. I used safestrap to flash the rom but i didnt know if safestrap can even flash custom kernels. And i had trouble putting a custom boot animation on. I tried apps to change it but it did nothing and i even tried going to system/media and tried to change it that way with no luck. Any responses on this would be very helpful

No custom kernels with Safestrap.
Would using twrp or clockwork mod be able to flash a custom kernel?

You can not flash a custom kernel on any Verizon Galaxy S4 other than ones with the MDK bootloader.
You can not downgrade to the MDK bootloader if you're running a later one.
Please read the sticky thread in the General forum. Your questions are answered there. (They're also answered in a thread that I created in this forum.)
i have verizon galaxy note 2 and i flash dn3 rom but i decide to restore to stock rom cause i cant use unlock feature on dn3 rom...so i used odin to flash with stock rom...and here's problem..after odin show pass with green, my phone in looping in verizon logo..so i tried to do flash again odin show fail message and phone doesnt boot.. samsubgng logo poped up and go away like flashing..
i cant even enter to recovery mode..
i could enter to download mode but odin give me fail message...
what should i do...
Try using the .pit file also in Odin with whatever stock rom? your using hopefully it's not a 4.3 stock rom or you will be locked out from anything custom...
Once you have a custom recovery and using custom roms you shouldn't us Odin or Casuals unlock & root method ever again unless you have problems with recovery bootloops or radio etc...
I didn't understand what you meant when you said dn3 rom didn't have "unlock feature"
I've never heard of dn3 rom but I will go look.

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH OffTheChainz and Bonkurei!!!!
i found and use .pit file and my phone came back to normal...thank you !!!!!!!
and btw...if i unlock the bootloader once is this unlock goes to permanent?
@corean0213
Use this method and r515 build shared here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272066 Thanks to AdamOutler
I didn't have any luck with the newer builds working. Take your time be patient if you run into problems after trying multiple times you can always revert back with your pit and stock rom. Keep that handy for emergency.
Once you get TWRP recovery with Casual your golden.
I suggest trying Alliance Rom build 25 if you like custom everything, like myself or give OhTrent Rom if you want something very sweet and simple for your Note 2! Other people might recommend something else....
Glad we was able to help!
I've been using these forums for years and sponged my brains with info and absorbed some of it lol
Feel I should help with what I can your absolutely welcome!
Backstory:
So last night my phone turned off by itself and wouldn't turn back on. My first thought it something with the ROM. So I boot to recovery and start a backup before I try to wipe/format etc. Long story short, it ended up being the battery just ate sh*t. So I got a new battery from Verizon, after I tried to ODIN back to stock though...
Problem:
I was on Hyperdrive RLS15, and I tried to Odin open1your1eyes MDK NoWipe. But my phone is just hanging on the Verizon screen. (it has been over half hr) My phone is MDK base (no safestrap), is that the right thing to flash? Is there anything else I have to do?
Thanks in advance, and forgive my naiveness. :silly:

Thanks, yes that worked. :good::good:
The name scared me (MKD) until I realized it was just a typo.
EDIT: A mod should really fix that. It's been like that since September even though a MKD never existed.

Also I include a link to versions of MDK (full-wipe) and MJ7 (full-wipe) I uploaded (that is I didn't mirror them) in the MK2 Odin tar thread.
I see you were successful but ill include my link anyway. Maybe this will help others who read this.

So I'm on MDK now with HD RLS15, is there any benefit flashing up to MJ7 or MK2? Do they all require Odin or is there recovery flashables?
Thanks

NO!
Don't do it. A part of me dies everytime i hear someone intentionally upgraded their S4 from MDK to a newer locked down version.

You're going to want to keep your bootloader MDK. With MDK you an flash any ROM you want, AOSP , AOKP , CM , TW..... 4.3...4.4 you name it.
If you updated to MK2 base you'd take away your options. You'd only be able to flash TW ROMs that are based on whatever build your phone is ...MK2 is 4.3 . And your only recovery would be SafeStrap. Not TWRP or CWM
How did end up with HD15 ? Flashed in recovery right? You can find any number of ROMs on these forums that are based off of MK2 or MJ7 and just flash them in recovery.
Follow me?

Gotcha. Yes recovery. HD says it's MK2 based, but my phone build still says MDK in the About screen. That's why I was wondering. Come to think of it though, doesn't that just display the Modem version (which is recovery flashable), correct?

Yes. MDK is your bootloader/Build and MK2 would be your baseband/modem.
Grab this app and it will show you everything https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo
And Surge has a thread on here of all our modems which are flashable through recovery although your probably good to stick with MK2 for now.

Hi..
I just lost a phone and Asurian Insurance company just sent me a new Note 2 for Verizon (I605) with stock rom 4.3.
My question is is there a way to unlock this phone and load the custom rom ?
If there is could anyone send me a link and detail instructions how to do it?
I have heard if someone is on 4.3 they are stuck and there is no way out until someone comes up with a way.
Please let me know if there is a way to unlock and load custom on rom 4.3.
Thank you

Only way would be to send the phone to mobiletechvideos which cost.
There is also the option of safestrap which can be found under the development section. This doesn't unlock the bootloader, but let's you load some of the 4.3 based touchwiz roms. You have to root first before you can do that, and I have heard that saferoot works well. You also need to be on 4.3 mj9. There are 2 versions of 4.3 for this phone. If you are on the other version you can use Odin to flash the mj9 version.

I just ran saferoot and it worked really well and very easy way to root the phone. (Thx BluGuy)
Now what custome rom should I install? and I just use the Odin to load the custom rom just like before?
What about the Custom recovery?
Do I need to install safestrap as well?
I need help...
Thanks
First stay away from flashing roms in odin while on 4.3 mj9 you will brick your phone. Second you can flash any 4.3 rom over the stock rom with safestrap but!!! Make sure its a rom that can be flashed with safestrap no room for error here be sure, remember this boot loader is locked so no flashing roms in the other rom slots they still need debugging
