We can't do custom roms without a custom recovery (cmw or twrp). I don't think custom recoveries are available yet. Unless you know something I don't (and that's very possible since I don't know much - lol).

Do you have a metro pcs mega? And if so, did you odin flash twrp on your phone?
I want to be sure before I try because I bricked my metro pcs mega the day I bought it and never got it back working. I had to go back to MetroPCS and get another one. I do not plan on bricking the one I have now. I don't want to take a chance until I know I can recover it from a soft brick.
Without having a firmware that can be flashed in odin, I'm scared to try anything.

Yes I have the Mega from Metro Pcs. That's why posted the link to the other thread.
Yeah, I rooted and and installed the recovery than was like hmm probably shouldn't have done that with out there being a firmware release but oh well. I'm wild that way.
I instilled it through Odin. the only file from that link I used was this one.. http://goo.gl/J5JAH0
Tested Working 100%
I downloaded the attached file, put phone into download mode and flashed the recovery via odin 307. I fully booted the phone and then shut it off to reboot into recovery which is now replaced with TWRP.
Now to see if I can find a lighter ROM something like extremesperia. I haven't seen any multi-carrier roms for this phone so I am not sure what will work.
I also used the backup feature and was able to backup the entire phone.

yeah that's the only thing that stinks right now. There's no DEV for our phone. We are pretty much in limbo right now. I was hoping to unlock the native tether app.

I want this phone. The ONLY thing preventing me from getting it is the lack of any CM roms for it. Oh well, I will stick with my GS2 T989 until then.
any of the gsm roms are likely to work on the metro mega, the CM 11 build definitely will as it works on the canadian mega that i have which has all the same specs as the metro mega. the only reason to get the canadian mega in the past was because it was unlocked without a locked bootloader.

I wouldn't go that far tbh...I'd be somewhat cautious as at least on my note 2...there are several variants and all have the same hardware, but run into issues flashing roms incompatible to your specific device. It's kinda guess and check as I've seen i9200 which is the 3g mega intl have a few minor apk issues vs i9205 lte on my rom alone, much less larger issues like framework and data structures or kernel variances between intl and carrier based. Just heads up from someone who builds for several different devices and hardware configs. When it comes to carriers sometimes it's hard telling what the hell they're doing lol.
One thing major is for carrier based devices of any kind, the biggest thing is the modem...If you flash an intl you may lose the carrier frequency.

TWRP does this I think. When I back up my rom, it asks if I wanna backup my modem, boot and efs. I had already flashed a T-Mo rom. It just wouldn't get any data. I don't think flashing the radio would do anything. I'm still hesitant tho

You have to change APN settings I think.
I had a week old S4 and messed with APN settings and radios. I bricked it beyond repair..IMEI and ICCID were all messed up too. I had no choice but sell it and get a Note 3. I tried flashing stock roms, factory images but it was broken. I was told if I had EFS backup I could have revived it.

it takes a while to get their touchwiz working completely for a huge list of different devices and in all fairness 4.4 came not that long after 4.3
as soon as samsung manages to deliver 4.4 with touchwiz, google has released a new android version again so samsung will always be lagging behind
too bad the camera in aosp roms isn't compareable to the stock samsung one otherwise i would've been on 4.3 aosp or 4.4 already as well, its one of the only things actually holding me back of flashing aosp roms ^^ (also sound in some roms is kinda low by default)

don't think so honestly, otherwise people would've succesfully done that with the skynote 3 from the at&t thread
also no root available yet, but as soon as root becomes available, you can use devilkernel,
currently i'm using skynote3 (at&t leak) with devilkernel ^^ but rather have the official as i reckon that one is more bugfree than a leaked rom ^^
you could try if the skynote3 rom is more to your liking, it works (mostly) but there are some bugs present, it has root and no knox.
Can this ROM be installed on a Korean Note 2 (e250s) with a boot converter?

what's android kitchen? still got around 30 min left on the download but could look into the android kitchen stuff.
my rom officially is from t-mobile netherlands, but i do not specifically need a t0ltetmo rom as the only thing different for my device when flashing my stock rom is the t-mobile apps and the boot screen from them.
its not like i have a special contact app like AT&T has or anything like that in my stock rom.
GT-N7105 (t0lte) is the one i'm normally aiming for, the rom released for nordic countries doesn't look carrier specific to me either. reckon the only thing that i do need root for is the language enabler, don't know if netherlands is unlocked as a locale by default. I did run stock unrooted rom the last few weeks until someone pointed out last week the at&t 4.3 leak worked on the 7105 models as well, so i got myself root again and installed it. I don't really run any other apps that require root normally.

i've tried the first omnirom 4.4 when it got released but the camera didn't function at all for me, later i read up and noticed that most 4.4 issues where related to twrp recovery, flashing with cwm 6.0.4.1 should've worked but was already playing with skynote by then
its not just quality though, its the fact that samsung has a built in anti-shake option, and i can't seem to get steady shots without it, my hands are shaking a little bit and i can't seem to keep my device steady enough without it. (haven't seen that option in the aosp camera's)
camera worked on 4.3 aosp roms for me, but i didn't like the quality from those, and again the shaking of the hands didn't help either

as far as i read up (including the thread it linked to for the 7105 and such) you need to be rooted in order to flash the rom after you customized it with the kitchen.
as the kitchen creates a flashable zip and not an odin flashable file.

it isn't just flahsing the international version - it is a custom rom - OMEGA - which has been avaiablle for Note 3 - S4 - S3 and god knows how many other phones - this is an early rom - and probably doesn't have all of it's usual features - but it is a start - the first custom ROM for the s5 -
At least as far as I know and have read - I haven't flashed it - but am about to.

What about the kernel? You are using the t mobile kernel or the stock international that comes with omega?

One other question - on the Note 3, when we flashed some international roms - it always wiped the internal SD card - did that happen when you flashed this rom?

No differences with this ROM as with anything on TMobile site. Again...all works.

Stock from Omega. I did notice the recovery screen quickly flashing a message in the upper left of the screen something about the kernel and being "compliant" (just a guess on remembering) but after it completed the flash and booted up just fine and wifi worked instantly, so I basically let it go in passing.
mocsab said:
it isn't just flahsing the international version - it is a custom rom - OMEGA - which has been avaiablle for Note 3 - S4 - S3 and god knows how many other phones - this is an early rom - and probably doesn't have all of it's usual features - but it is a start - the first custom ROM for the s5 -
At least as far as I know and have read - I haven't flashed it - but am about to.

Yes...it's basically stock with no additional features. The Omega Files app has nothing yet for the S5. But as you said, it's a start and the first custom ROM for the S5. OH...cool lock screen wallpaper
I tried installing Omega 1.0 yesterday and I got an error message. I'll try flashing 1.1.

I did find that it wipes the INTERNAL SD CARD - so you may want to make copies of important folders and put them on the External SD Card so you don't loose anything important. (If you use Titanium Backup - copy the Titanium Backup folder from your internal SD card and put it on the Ext SD Card) or just change the backup location of Titanium Backup to use the external SD Card so you don't loose it) I dont recall seeing anything abou tthis in the OP - it might be but I didn't see it - I do know the same thing happened when flashing certain International ROMS on the Note 3
Success
I successfully installed Omega 1.2 via Custom Recovery tool, Philz Touch. I first Rooted the device, and then installed Philz, and then flashed over the Omega 1.2.
I live in Australia, and my s5 regained access to the Camera Shortcut and other features it was missing.
Also to note, all of my data and mobile data still work like a charm, so I can call and send sms without any fuss.

Hello all. New to the Verizon note 2 but not the forums. I have a Note 2 that I used odin to get up to MJ9 from the 4.1.2 firmware. I have safestrap installed but when I go to install CM11 it just hangs on the boot animation. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
You have to wipe system, data and cache before flashing (installing) CM 11. Also make sure you have the correct CM 11 because its different for each carrier. I personally have the US Cellular Note 2, it will let me install Verizon things because the physical device is the same but things like calling and data doesn't work or it might boot loop or get stuck like yours is doing. I know I got confused when I first started flashing things to my phone by trying to flash the international model files and they wouldn't work.

Thanks for the quick response!
I got the one for the i605. I actually have AT&T and would like to use AT&T service on this note 2. I just wasn't getting service where I live for some weird reason unless I use an ATT phone. I created a second slot did a complete wipe and install, then restart and now it's just black. I can reboot and get into recovery though.
You cannot use the Verizon Note 2 on AT&T because the Verizon is CDMA network and AT&T is GSM. There is a hardware difference.

Are you flashing a nightly build or a milestone?

I can't get recent nightly builds to boot at all on my Note 2, the Milestone (very few bugs) will boot though.

Is your bootloader unlocked? If not, then as I understand things with SafeStrap, you have to use a Samsung-based ROM as you can only change the ROM and not the kernel. Trying to install CM11 will not install the CM-based kernel, so it won't boot. If your bootloader is unlocked, you shouldn't be using SafeStrap as it's only a workaround for those of us who can't unlock our bootloaders.

How do you unlock bootloader? D:
If you're on MJ9 or anything newer, you can't... Verizon locked the bootloader down so tight that nobody has been able to unlock it, and from what everyone has been saying around here, it may never happen. This is exactly why this will be my first and last Verizon phone... every other carrier's version is unlockable, but Verizon feels the need to dictate what we can and can't do with the devices we paid for... unacceptable.
Since I'm on US Cellular and they don't lock the boot loader I didn't know about that. Sorry. I don't understand the whole reason for locking it in the first place. Plus with the law changing they should allow it to be done.
Maybe I can find a gsm note 2 board lol. I built this note 2 from like 5 bad ones but should have thought about the Verizon being a doucher thing lol
I'm not entirely sure what safestrap entails. What I do know is the Verizon note 2 is a world phone and you should be able to use at&t on it. I'm currently running beans rom and I'm on straight talk with it. I am unlocked though. But the Verizon note 2 does support gsm bands (not the lte bands though)

Unfortunately that law has to do with unlocking the phone for use on other carriers, not unlocking the bootloader to allow the installation of custom ROMs and kernels.

Safestrap is a workaround that allows the use of a custom bootloader, but it's somehow running alongside the existing one without actually replacing it (or something like that... I'm not a developer, so I'm hazy on the details), so it is very limited in what it can do. Since the kernel can't be changed, it will only work with specific ROMs that use the stock Samsung kernel, and even then not all of those ROMs are guaranteed to work. I also don't know if it can be used with Android 4.4 KitKat as I have not tried... there may be some information on that in the Safestrap thread.
I swapped to an ATT board lol thank you guys. I'm an ATT customer anyways but could only find the Verizon board at the time. I got dn3 on it now (So amazing!) Thanks for the help guys. I hope soon someone cracks open the Verizon bootloaders!! It's your device! You pay on it every month! Well really just for their service... The device is yours.

Not correct Verizon 4g LTE phones use sim cards and are world phones so they have both a CDMA and a gsm radio I've used mine on straight take with att service you won't get 4g data speeds only h+ just have to put in the new dim and correct apns
And as far as the op's questions as one response stated if ur boot loader is locked safestrap is only compatible with 4.3 touchwiz based Roms and ROM slots don't work either you u have to flash over stock ROM slot

I Googled it and you are correct. Though the us cellular model has a Sim card it is only for data.

As Always, you are on your own with theses files should you choose to flash them. They were posted HERE and I re-hosted them to AFH after paying the $5 "donation". One can seriously damage their device if they dont know what they are doing, if this is you...wait for a guide!
my phone did the dumb update will i be able to still flash these ?
this is that dumb update in full ROM form. these files are used mainly to go back to stock after we hopefully achieve root. or if you brick, this is the files to restore your device to that out the box state.
strange but I've always been one of those hardcore AOSP types, but with my Note 7 I only want root for a few select apps. TouchWiz is not that bad compared to Galaxy S 2 days.

lol figured it would, to many things in place by samsung to allow. plus this update that just came, i think patched 4 CVS related to Qualcomm chip and root. even if we get a basic root, we are still far from custom ROMs, need bootloader for that.
Does anyone know if this firmware can be flashed on other variants such as the Verizon N930v? Similar to the GS7/S7Edge? (I'm running factory PF2 AT&T firmware on my Verizon S7 at the moment.. flashed flawlessly without root.. I want to do the same thing but with the Note 7, since I can get Verizon devices at 2yr pricing on my business account instead of monthly payments on AT&T)
Also, is flashing the PIT file required for flashing the rest?

I achieved this on my S7 without root by flashing the G930U (unlocked model) firmware, as it didn't have mobile tethering restrictions. Once/if the U firmware is available for the Note 7, you could probably do the same.. pending on if all devices can receive the firmware from other models. (Which I asked on this thread a few minutes ago)..

No you don't have root. You can use Samsung Side Sync on your PC to enable tethering however. It requires the phone to be plugged into your computer/laptop though. No wireless hotspot unfortunately.
