Hello,
this is my first post, so go easy on me...LOL.
I am trying to root my VZW i545 that has VRUEMK2 4.3 on it now. I have rooted with mj7tool but then can't put a custom recovery on it. I have read on here that that is not possible right now until Hashcode does something with SS? My goal is to be able to run CM11 Kitkat 4.4 or the like on my phone. I am completely new to rooting and such, but managed to get my wifes i605 rooted and flashed within 30mins. So, if anyone/everyone can point me in the right direction, that would be greatly apreciated. Again, I am running VRUEMK2 4.3 on SCH-i545 and want to root/recovery/flash/use kitkat 4.4 from CM11 or Gummy or whoever. Any and all advice/links/programs would be awesome. Thank you.

Not possible as of yet because the bootloader is locked so there is no way to get passed that plus safe strap which is the only known work around only works for 4.2 roms and lower. Sorry brother this is the plight of s4 owners.

hmmm....may have to take this out for target practice and go back to the note 2! That thing was super easy to crack.

Are there any links/threads that may point me in the right direction? I can fly planes, forecast tornadoes (wx-pilot.com), and build websites, so it shouldn't be to hard to figure out, and who knows....maybe I can contribute something?
MJ7 to MK2

Is it possible to go from a rooted 4.3 MJ7 i545 to a rooted i545 with 4.4 and MK2? This will be the most likely configuration when something finally comes out that will give us S4 i545 users the best chance of getting kit kat?

Forums are filled with threads discussing bootloader lockdown....Samsung has locked it down pretty tight since mdk firmware and many devs have been looking at what can be done with no luck so far.
Safestrap as given us an opening to a degree. Take some time and do some reading and research..
safestrap enabled, Hyperdrive driven
So I am at lost in this forum. I have been using my VRUAME7 S4 rooted and running Hyperdrive with Safestrap for a full year now and would like to see if its possible to update to 4.3 or even 4.4. I have been doing searches on the forum and can't seem to find a clear answer.
If anyone knows how to or can point me to the right links, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

This is most likely exactly what you are looking for
Hey guys and girls, I have a question for any of you pretty comfortable with SafeStrap...so, I'm helping someone with an update/upgrade - trying to get them to be able to run KitKat ROMs via SafeStrap on his Verizon S4. But first, I need SafeStrap working again.
OK, basically I brought him from MK2 to NC2 using @Surge1223's method and am now on NC2 (I guess its the rooted- leaked version?)
So...my question is, HOW IN THE WORLD do I get SafeStrap back onto his phone while running on NC2? (All I see are links upon links about SS on NC5)
Thanks SO MUCH to anyone who can help me out here... And yes, I've tried reading and reading...no luck yet

I just did a bit of searching and it seems NC2 is just the leaked version of NC5 and all that changed was a couple apps and a menu. That is secondhand information and may be incorrect I suppose. In any case, I have a NC5 build and used the exact Safestrap APK that I use for my device on my brother in laws S5. I reckon as long as you root/SuperSU/busybox/safestrap you should be good.

No. I said it was secondhand information and I could be wrong. I dont suppose I am though. But I might be. If it were my phone I would try it but I have soft bricked my s4 about four or five times now and am pretty comfortable fixing it so I dont hesitate to try new things. That is just me though.
Jesus loves you!
Okay starting off, I went straight to cyanogenmod's page but it specifically stated "you must be on build I545VRUAMDK"...
There lies the problem. My phone is build KOT49H.I545VRUFNC5.
I got it from Verizon like this, already updated.
It's running kitkat 4.4.2.
Now, the benefit is that I already have root, through Towelroot V3.
__________________________________________________ ______________________________
I've searched on Google and still cannot find a direct answer.
So please can someone tell me where to go to figure this out? Or if you know how kindly tell me?
I've installed Safestrap as well.
Thank you for any help!

If you MUST be on MDK to install the ROM and you are on NC5, then I reckon you can't install the ROM. There are not many ROM's available for those of us on NC5 and Safestrap unfortunately.

Man, that is what I was worried about... I've heard of hyperdrive being good, it's a 4.4.2 rom, have you had any experience with it?

HyperDrive is solid. I'm on BlackBox right now and I like it better. It is stupid fast but a little buggy as it is a newer ROM. Another option would be to stay with the stock NC5 use Wanam Xposed from the XposedFramework. It allows quite a bit of customization if that is what you're looking for. There are some solid options being on NC5, just make sure you take the time to read through the threads before you flash anything.

I am in need of some help with Safestrap.
I currently develop on the T-Mobile Galaxy S4 and the S5. We have no need for Safestrap.
I have rooted my friends Note 2. It's on 4.4.2, and his bootloader is forever locked due to the fact he took the OTA from 4.3 to 4.4.2. My issue is "which" Safestrap can he use?
Like I said, have zero experience with Safestrap and it's workings. Any help on this will be very much appreciated.
