Just FYI, I flashed the posted Omega v 1.1 for the Galaxy S5 on the International site, on my T Mobile SM-G900T
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51857845
If I'm violating XDA policy here, my bad. Just wanted to let others no that as with the S4, many of the International ROMs worked. Your mileage may vary and I am NOT responsible if something happens to your device. I am using the twrp 2.7.0.0 version reference here in the rooting method for our TMobile S5's.
Currently finishing the installation process. I am not making any recommendations as to what ROMs are best etc. Just wanted to let others know that this worked for me.

I was hoping someone would try this - Can you verify if Wifi and Bluetooth are working properly? ON the Note 3 we could flash international roms but had to flash a fix to get Wifi Working. is it working for you?

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?

What is the advantage of flashing the international version?

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

I've test Most of the ROM's out there and havent had issues my self. Some people say they can't get lte to stick.
Hi folks. I have a USCellular Tab 10.1 LTE (which identifies itself as a p4vzw and should work fine with VZW ROMs)
Per the instructions in this XDA message posting I have installed CM10.1 + GAPPS
The message says I need to flash this kernel here. How do I do that? The webpage linked shows the source code, but I'm lost with what to do!
I have -no- LTE/CDMA radio and have a message which shows "unknown baseband" - again, supposedly the
I originally flashed from the FB01 firmware which is supposedly what I am supposed to use - thus, the Verizon baseband SHOULD allow me to connect.
Any thoughts?
I need to:
Get help to flash that kernel
get help getting the radio working
(My original baseband information was as follows: CDMA i905.03 V.FB04 //////// LTE: SCH-i905.FB01
Not sure about the radio, but you don't have to flash that kernel. It is already packed into the ROM.

I don't know why that was mentioned in the step outlined above.
However, the radio part is the most confusing to me at the moment :-/

CM should work (cellular data) and the rom i use on mine, i am currently using it as wifi only, i use cm10.1 it runs really smooth and it allows a stable overclock which makes it run much faster, there are a ton of tweaks you can set another tip is to turn the window animation scale .5 as well as the other two transition and animator. If you need any help flashing shoot me a pm and i can walk you through
Hey guys so basically the thread title says it all. I need a few testers who have the Canadian variant sgh-i527m who can test a rom base for me. What I need is confirmation that everything works on the base ie Bluetooth, data, WiFi, NFC,etc. Once deemed a stable base I can work on making the magic happen of adding cool features.
Of course the standard risks apply: you are responsible for anything you flash or that happens as a result. As always please make a nandroid backup before flashing and ensure you are using the latest, stable recovery
At this point the ROM is rooted, deodexed, zipaligned all apks and Knox free

Hello,
I'm testing it on a i9205....
I installed it over a 4.2.2 bootloader as I never installed KK. So it looks like KK is installing over 4.2.2 Mega fire bootloader
.
I'm finishing up to setup all my account and let you know. So far its working well, the first run Wizard even detect my country "France", it did not before in 4.2.
I ll keep you posted but so far looking good.
Thanks
see screenshot attached
Just a small adjustement, on the i9205 the wifi is not turning on... I dont know why, a driver issue maybe. I will try replace wifi firmware and modules if I can.
Also when I go to ->Setting->security it says setting has stopped. then the phone is rebooting

OK thanks for the feedback. If you're still on the ROM can you run a lotcat and try wifi and also go back to settings security. And then send me the logcat. If you send me it with those issues recreated I should be able to see what the problem is

Sorry I cant, I had to go back to Mega Fire rom as I had no Wifi and cannot install Titanium to restore everything (As I cannot access security options) I had to revert to 4.2.2.
I also tried to modified your zip with a i9205 boot.img and all the System files into your zip from another 4.4.2 i9205, and I had the same issue. I'm starting to wonder if I dont have a radio issue compatibilty or my bootloader 4.2 is messing with some feature (like android finding knox is not on the bootloader). If you have any idea, I dont mind trying again but so far I would like to preserve my bootloader as my phone still under warranty.

I ve tried another rom 4.4.2 as a zip file and same issues. I revert it back to MF V11X and it works as normal.
I'm wondering if those issues are related to the bootloader (like for Param-Security) phone is looking for knox info and cannot find them.
reply:
Anyway for now my bootloader still in 4.2
I never checked wifi (I barely use wifi as is) System settings kept force closing on me and the ROM overall was a bit laggy (compared to MegaFire - probably not a fair comparison though - lol). My phone did keep rebooting every time I went into certain system settings to make changes (I don't remember which ones at this point). To be honest, I was just trying to see if I could flash it onto my phone. I had no intent to fully test the ROM for stability. Mega's ROMs are rock steady stable so I was just trying that 4.4.2 ROM while waiting for Mega to finish and post MegaKat.

i527 boot loader is locked. Just because you put an M at the end doesn't automatically make it unlocked....pssh noobs. ?
edit>>> @scoobthegambler, you are right, I made a mistake, my apologies
@pierrottls31 it's very poor etiquette to post another devs rom in someone else's rom thread. Please help to keep development threads eleventh to the threads they pertain to
Thanks in advance
@GT247 I never posted or mention another developer's rom I merely stated that the i527 had a locked bootloader and the op restated that he was talking about i527m

No it doesnt, but the M does have a recovery and is able to flash any of Sileshnair's roms.
It is not an ATT device.
GT......what are you doing here?

So if I put an M at the end of my Nexus5 can I flash Sileshnairs Roms?
@captemo, I'm watching my friend at work building roms, and hopefully keeping you out of trouble. Don't mess with Apen..lol
btw, I'm sure Mark Bencze will really appreciate if you'd stick around while he works this out.

I did not mean too, I just wanted him to know you can go from more clean room to start than stock... Stock rom is buggy and all... I took the rom from megafire and tweak it my way, this way I dont have to re-correct all the bug.... but sorry if it was mis-understood... I did mention it for reference only.... cheers
Does anyone know if there is a lollipop rom for SGH-i527M or if Samsung plans to officially release one? I prefer a stock one without touchwiz. Is there one anywhere??

No dev is working on Mega anymore, I guess. It's interesting because even my old and mundane Huawei Y300 was easily rooted and now can run lollipop 5.1, but not my Mega I527M!!!
Ok, well is there a rom that exists? Or can someone make one? Or can one from a different device like a nexus 6 work on this phone?

Custom ROMs exist, a couple of them actually, but you have to be very careful. Which version is it 4.2.2 or 4.4.2?
I'm looking for lollipop. Is there one available anywhere, or one for another phone that might work with mine??
There is Paranoid Android verion 5.0 Alpha online and works with my i527m, the only problem is gapps doesn't work, I had previous 4.2.2 rom custom with apps working and update to this one, I have the message unfortunately play services has stopped, I am trying to fix wit no success, because I already download different apps packages from google, cyanogen and other sources and doesnt work.
if somebody have a solution send me a private message please.

Hi, I know its been a while since you posted for a lollipop rom, but I have tried Validus Lollipop 5.0.2 on my sgh-i527m and its running great and fast. http://www.mediafire.com/?uv3f4l3mw4a46os
thanks how did you root (I see kingroot) and how did you install a custom recovery (which one)?

To root I just installed this rooted stock firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-mega/development/rom-rooted-stock-4-4-2-i527mvlucne5-t2917868. You have to use Odin to install this rooted firmware, its not hard you just follow the instuctions in the post
And for recovery I am using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588661. I also used odin to install it to my phone, it took about 10 seconds
And then you can flash any rom for you device. Have fun

I installed Validus-lollipop on i527m and it actually works.
The only problem was the extreme battery drain. Like 1% ---> 1m 7 sec if using wifi or lte.
The solution is easy (use GSam battery monitor): there was a bad kernel wakelock.
If you don't use your mega for touchless paying, just delete NFC.
Find com.android.nfc. Force stop it. Delete cashe/data. Remove. Reboot phone.
how to instal?
and make me sure it gonna work my friend
please

It is funny how T-Mobile has managed to get their GS5 up to 5.1.1 while most of GS6 owners in the US and the world still on 5.0

The good news: You are able to downgrade from 5.1.1 to 5.0 or even 4.4 just by flashing previous firmwares using ODIN.
Without any problem. Full service, imei, SV, .... everything's fine.

Is the FOF6 bootloader still unlocked and can the rom be rooted with twrp and flashing SuperSU 2.49? Has anyone noticed improved performance and less ram being used?
Any New Changes?
Can someone please tell me Any New Features such as Themes are included in this 5.1.1 update?
Come on people post those long over due screenshots!
I just did the update and it killed my sim card reader. Booted up the phone after fresh wipe and install, my phone said that I needed to install a sim card. Talked to T-Mobile technical support and was told to go to the store to get a new sim card since they thought the update fried the sim card. Still no luck, phone won't read new sim card. Other than that, the phone sims a lot more fluid and some animations seem a little different.

Better yet, T-Mobile had managed to push out the update to S6 owners on the 15th. Good stuff!!

I reinstalled it via Odin. This time I get signal and data, however, I keep getting a thing saying that there's an error for wifi calling. I don't really use wifi calling, so I don't care too much about that. As far as screen shots, nothing that I have found so far looks any different.

Nope. Even tried a couple tricks and wouldn't boot. Seems like su being added to system partition causes it not to boot since I flashed twrp, rooted, then flashed stock recovery
