Succesfully restored using Heimdall on Mac OS, then restored again using Kies after an erred attempt at wipe using Safestrap.
Now safe - looking for a way to load an un-bloated ROM for Verizon SCH-I545 MK2 using Safestrap. Preferrably from Cyanogen, any recommendations? Experience?

Your ONLY option right now are TW ROMs with a MJ7/MK2 base.

Questions like this belong in the Q and A thread, however, best rom threads also get closed as XDA is not a support site and members are expected to do their own research into what suits them best.
Read, study, try them all, only you can make the determination.

i just replaced my phone with warranty then promptly updated it to 4.3 and rooted it using vroot. i wanted to install a recovery and eventually install a rom with a main focus on gaming if there is such a rom..., however i keep trying different recoveries and they all keep failing to install as far as i can see.. im guessing there isnt one for 4.3?
You're on MJ7, you can't install a custom recovery or ROM. This has been discussed a million bagillion times already.

Recently rooted my Verizon phone which is running MK2 version. I uninstalled my custom rom which was installed using SafeStrap and now the phone is currently very buggy and I just want to go back to Stock, I have everything backed up so I can start fresh.
Thanks.

These are tar images you flash in Odin that take you back to stock.

One reason why hash code doesn't advise loading a rom over the stock rom. I take it you didn't make a backup of the stock rom before loading the custom one? Odin probably your best choice or look into Kies.

So I was on a 4.2.2 build for the longest time and wanted to check out a KitKat ROM. So after flashing it and not caring too much for it, I went back to my backup only to find out that I have no cell service.
Can someone tell me what I need to flash via Odin or possibly recovery to get my cell service back?
I'm on beans7 with 4.2.2.
Thanks XDA peeps! Much appreciated!

Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2487298
And grab one of the modem only files and flash in whatever recovery your using. I'm on NC5 and it's treated me well.

So here's what I have and I've tried a few different modems from that link and no matter what, it still boots, but no cell service. Any ideas? I've tried both ME7s regular and non and even an MDK stock, but no luck :-\

Since your on MDK have you tried flashing the MDK non-hlos modem? Not just the " modem only " one.
Usually flashing a new ROM doesn't effect your modem at all so I'd usually say that it's the ROM that's the problem. But since you've been trying different modems to try and fix the problem it may good to try the non-hlos one. Also make sure whatever recovery your using is up to date.
I've had to flash the MDK non-hlos then I used the phone for a few days and ended up flashing the NC5 one without issue.

That happens to me and the only way to get my phone back to normal was with this link.
I downloaded ChaosROM_252vzw.v1.rar from the "[WIP] Safestrap 3.72 compatible ROMS list [KitKat NC5]" thread here

It really seems like it would be an interesting rom. However, it seems that it has to be installed via RESTORE. What are the prerequisites before installing this rom?
I know I have to backup my current cache in recovery and replace the cache.ext4.win file, but which one gets replaced? The one from my backup or the one from the Chaos Rom I want to install? Thanks.
(FYI: I am on Safestrap v3.72 and on NC5. Currently on EchoeRom v22.)

I have a Verizon nc5 with Hyperdrive 19, just wondering what the deal is with different kernels? Can I install the ktoonsez kernel or will it brick my phone? I've soft bricked once and don't want to do it again!
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Free mobile app
Only people on MDK can run custom kernels. And custom kernels let you use more features for the rom, like an aosp rom. Safestrap users cant use aosp because our kernel is different from aosp and so wifi is usually messed up and USB transfers are broken.
So when I flashed hyperdrive, I selected the stockish kernel, not the safestrap one. It works fine, also flashed the nc5 modules to fix Wi-Fi, but those are the only two I can use, correct?
