I've been rooting and flashing roms since 2011. I just purchased and rooted my sprint note 3. I then flashed both AOSb and then PAC rom with no problems whatsoever. My rom finger got itchy, and I wanted to flash a new rom so I tried freeza's custom rom. I have the latest twrp recovery installed. I wiped and formatted the phone. Flashed the rom and gapps and got stuck in a boot loop. I then tried kitkatkiller, sacs, and team blazed roms and got stuck in a boot loop with each of those. However I can still flash both AOSB and PACroms and they work fine. Can anyone tell me what is going on? Am i going to have to restore it to stock?

If you want to flash these roms you have to have the 4.4.2 bootloader for them to boot. .. Once you go to 4.4.2 you can't go back to 4.3 ... easiest way is to download the nab tar and use Odin to go to 4.4.2

Uhm, not so sure. I believe that those roms employ the 4.3 MJ4 build.
Once you're on TouchWiz KitKat for our device, there is no going back.

You're showing your n00bness if you're infering micmars is a troll. He's probably the most active on these forums with helping others. Anyway...I digress...Not sure if the AOSP builds will serve as a base to flash TW based ROMS from. I'd HIGHLY encourage you to use one of the NAB tars that are posted...flash it in Odin. Reboot...let it settle, go through setup...verify everything is working. Back into download mode, and Odin the latest TWRP for KitKat. Reboot..verify it's installed correctly...nandroid next as a fallback position. Copy over the 4.4 TW ROM you want to flash, then do so from TWRP. Profit!
Good luck

It means your status is custom, and may be that your on the NAB bootloader.
If you never flashed the NAB tar or one-click, then you most likely are not.
Try factory reset of your device, and flash again. But be careful. Only you know what was on your device prior to installing your AOSP rom.
Look in the Q&A forum. There is a post thread by @SantinoInc whom started with AOSP, and was able to get to where you are headed.
As noted, my knowledge of AOSP roms is thin at best. I only know that they began with MJ4.

As I thought I was able to reset my phone using stock 4.4.2 firmware and was able to flash roms from that part. Thanks for the help.
Well, for one, none of the Touchwiz based ROMs need gapps. That's probably your issue.

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:

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.

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.

How will this differ from your Aroma'd version besides the lack of customizations of the install? Will you be Aroma-ing this ROM too with your own twist? Is this more or less stable than the International version we've been dealing with? Sorry for all the questions. Just trying to figure out which KitKat TW ROM is best and most stable for this phone. Seems like this Verizon ROM would be in the long run.
Holy ****, it's finally here after all these months!
Is it rooted, with everything functional? I had to go back to 4.3 because other 4.4 roms were buggy.

If I'm not mistaken it has to have a compatible custom kernel first. I would be interested in knowing for sure too. I know little about MDK but would like to learn enough to 1. not brick it, 2. not lose MDK and the loki exploit. Is there a thread dealing just with MDK? What to do and not to do for a noob?

Anyone running a build beyond MDK has Kernel Lock and the ROMs that users can flash are using the stock kernel... There were a few instances where the kernel was lightly modified but nothing big.... I'm not 100% about the OPs question though myself since I'm in fact on MDK...
As far as what to know for MDK... The two biggest things to remember are to NEVER take an OTA while on Stock MDK Touchwiz and to NEVER use any other Odin file other than MDK... Other than those two things anything else is pretty much fair game.
You need to just root stock MDK with Motochopper then once it's rooted freeze SDM with TiBu then I suggest using Flashify to install your recovery of choice.
Once those 3 steps are done.... Make a backup of stock MDK and your into flashing !
You won't " lose" your Loki'd MDK if you do those steps before anything else whenever coming from stock via Odin.
Other than possibly flashing a bad download ROM zip or something... The only other issue I've ever ran into was flashing a kernel that didn't have the Loki patch. That will send you to the " Unauthorized Software Detected" screen at boot. Even then no worries since you can hop back into recovery and restore or try again. For situations like that someone made up the Loki Doki zip that you can flash say after flashing the Alucard Kernel. which is meant for the i9505 S4 and that will Lokify it for you.
Good practice would to be just flash either KToonsez Kernel or Alucard Kernel ( + Loki Doki with Alucard ) if you're flashing a ROM you're not to sure about.
All AOSP roms that are for " JFLTE" can detect they our bootloader requires the Loki Patch and it will take care of that during the flash automatically.
If you have any other questions feel free to shoot me a PM or ask here... Never a problem

MisterTac, thanks for the super response. Lots of people would just say, "read up on it". I've got a couple of dumb questions. Can you flash virtually any Verizon rom? I have a hard time distinguishing between roms if it doesn't say specifically that it is for MDK. Another question is if you can't flash kernels, what exactly makes the MDK so much better than being on Safestrap (especially with all the roms Gigilie has ported)? One more thing, in your opinion what are the top five or so best roms that you can run with an MDK that you can't on Safestrap. I know you aren't really supposed to ask about best roms but I wanted to see what the difference was. Do you have to flash via odin or can you just install via recovery?

You can most of the time flash any Verizon ROM whether it's for SafeStrap or MDK. Jrkruse also has a patch so that you can flash just about any i9505 Touchwiz ROM as well. And for AOSP ROMs like Cyanogen or Slim or the 100 other ROMs based off those you're good to flash any of them since most of them are Unified JFLTE builds that are for all LTE S4's on any carrier.
MDK is " better " or more flexible in that we can flash Custom Kernels. SafeStrap you cannot as of now. That gives you way more control over your phone. SafeStrap also only has a couple AOSP ROMs that somehow are working with it.... Where again... Our MDK ones can easily flash aosp ROMs without issue.
All these ROMs are going to be flashed through your custom recovery... Twrp or CWM. And I suggest using Flashify to install your custom recovery.
My top picks for stability and features that work best for me are currently SlimSaberKat, Mahdi, Liquid Smooth, C ROM and OSE. You're right there is no Best ROM... You'll have to just try them on your own but I'll edit this post with a couple links to these ROMs for you...

Well I guess technically you could although I don't see why anyone would want to other than using it for ROM slots yes.
I haven't ran into anyone on here I don't think either with a Verizon or ATT S4 that could run a true Custom Recovery and opted for SafeStrap.
In CWM I can wipe my current ROM and restore a backup I've made in like 2 minutes tops... so the space you'd potentially lose on your internal memory having multiple ROMs loaded with SafeStrap really isn't worth it when in 2 minutes you can just wipe and restore ya know? Just my opinion

Flash that then reboot to recovery from within your current TWRP and you'll have your CWM.
If you want just regular CWM you could use Flashify from the play store. Philz is the same thing but has few more options and in my opinion why not have more right?

I feel like I'm missing something obvious here. I've tried a couple of times to load a KK ROM on my S4 with MDK. I've tried Hyperdrive and a few others. No matter what I do, I can't get Bluetooth to function after installing the KK ROM. I've tried updating the radios and that hasn't helped either.
I'd be willing to give up MDK but I don't know anything about flashing with SS/Odin so I was hoping to stay on MDK so I can use TWRP. Could that be the problem? Thanks for any guidance, I really appreciate it.

How many Touchwiz ROMs have you tried?, And have you tried any AOSP ROMs like CM or Slim?
I wouldn't give up your MDK!!
I'd try a couple more roms and then if that doesn't fix it use Odin and start over with stock MDK and root .. custom recovery it.
Also... Try flashing KToonsez kernel along with whatever TW ROMs your into and see if that helps.

I tried (besides Hyperdrive):
TW 4.4.2 Stock Verizon I545VRUFNC5 For MDK BootLoader - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2721118
ChaosROM-VZW-V2.6-NCx-4.4.2-SS-MDK-MULTI-THEMED-SUPER FAST-A NEW LEVEL OF SHARP - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799899
I didn't try any AOSP roms, I guess I could try CM. I can just flash it with TWRP right?
I also tried using the KToonsez kernel that came with Hyperdrive 17. I guess I'll try starting from scratch again if CM doesn't work, could you point me in the right direction for using Odin to return to stock? Thanks for your help.

Here's the MDK Odin file

And yes just flash any AOSP ROM + Gapps in recovery after wiping your current ROM. Most ROMs have all the directions with links right in the OP.

This is a recovery flashable, stock boot.img, pulled from freeza's stock rooted rom, located here. It's completely unchanged from stock, I just made it flashable. After flashing, You may, or may not have to modify your build.prop to set secure storage to "false." See freeza's thread here, for more info on this.
Use this at your own risk, I assume no responsibility.

Numerous, for example, it will allow you to return to the stock kernel, for troubleshooting purposes, if you expect an incompatibility, or issue with a custom kernel, without having to flash an entire stock rooted rom, or downloading an entire rom, just for the boot image.
By the way I want to thank you for this its a blessing we have ppl who do this for us with that said im a noob should I flash this I have the nh7 modem I flashed the nh7 stockish rom then I restored my backup for sacs moar rom
i flashed the baseband/modem and that loaded fine. i then tried to flash the kernel and get stuck in a boot loop even after i tried the file to set to false. what can i be doing wrong?

Can you provide more info. If you were in a bootloop, how did you set the file to false? Did you flash the fix, in freeza's OP? If so, that's likely the problem. That build.prop is for a previous version.
I did flash the fix. How else can I get the new modem flashed without bootlooping? My modem/baseband is NH7. Just can get the NH7 stock kernel on without looping

I'm not sure what the issue is, I haven't run into this yet. To be absolutely clear, are you flashing the wifi/secure storage fix, from freeza's thread?
Yes as I read it would fix the boot loop. I tried without it and had no luck either.

That's the problem. That fix is fo MJ4. Also, what rom are you on? I'm not sure if the NH7 kernel, is compatible with NC5 roms. I know for a fact, NC5 kernels, are incompatible with NH7 roms (no display).
Your best bet is to Odin the NC7 tar, if you want all NC7, or Odin NC7, and restore your TWRP backup, of your previous rom. Your baseband, will be NH7, but your kernel will be whatever was included in your previous/preferred rom.
I'm on sacs rom. My baseband/modem is currently NH7 and have no problems
Im also on sacs rom and nh7 kernel want make it past samsung screen just a heads up keep a updates back up before trying this

Sacs rom is NC5 based. Use an NC5 compatible kernel.
