you can only have safestrap recovery with rooted nc5. Thus, the only somewhat aosp rom is the google edition one which has a few bugs.

Hello everyone,
I am new here and french, so i am already sorry for my bad english !
I have a transformer prime and i am looking for the good process to root it and change the stock ROM.
So, whats' your opinion and advices :
- for the best root process ?
- what are the apps for root ?
- for the best custom ROM (easy to use, good performance) ?
Sorry if another thread has the same topic !
Have a nice day,
Matthieu

Hi Mattieu,
You will probably be told by some that you should have searched first but unless you know what you are searching for it is kind of difficult since I see this is your first post. You need to decide how far you would like to go with this to be honest. First you can root your stock rom, you can install a custom rom, you can unlock your bootloader (this voids your warrenty) but after that you can install a custom recovery do backups and install custom roms. Also you will be in a position to use nvflash which will allow you to recvoer from most software bricks.
Rooting and playing with roms with no nand backup can be slightly dangerous but like I say you need to decide on your comfort level first.... Also if you go beyond the stock rom you may not be able to get any ota updates depending on what you do. If you unlock you definately cannot get ota updates but as soon as there is an offical release of a new rom, the developers have a custom version within a couple of weeks to a month...
This is great for rooting. Simple as pie.

As mentioned the device is easy to root. I have stuck with the Asus ROM and have not unlocked but I have rooted and used Titanium Backup to freeze apps (including system apps) that you don't think you need. This is a really safe approach for a beginner because frozen apps can be easily restored. This is important when working with system apps. On my Droid 3 phone for example, there were some system apps that I didn't think I needed but when I froze them I found that I actually did need them (i.e. it caused something else to break). Rooting also will let you overclock if you want to.
The other point is that the release of the Asus Android 4.1 release is probably imminent, though we don't know exactly when - it should be soon. Personally I'm going to stick with what I've got until after that happens just to give the new Asus rom a chance. You will not get this update if you unlock, though the custom ROM developers will probably have their own version of it out not too long after the stock release. Still, I'm taking a wait and see approach for the time being.
Thx for your responses !
So, i should wait for the new ROM stock version (jellybean isn't it ?). OK
But i can already root the tablet, there's no link with the ROM ?
And before running the root, i should use titanium backup to save my actual configuration, in order to restore it if there's a problem ?
Unhappy [Q] please i despaired
Hi all reading this post
I have an acer liquid s2 with android 4.2.2 stock, rooting this device is very easy but but i've found nothing about a custom rom or aosp rom like Cyanogenmod (my dream).
it's a very good phablet but i don't like the stock rom, i prefer my galaxy s4 mini with cm11.
Is there any way to have an alternate rom ?
Please ohhhh please.
Thanx.
Sorry for my english i 'm french
Doesn't look like there is any development for it at all beyond unlocking the bootloader, root, and CWM recovery. I learned my lesson about buying devices that developers aren't interested in awhile ago... Just one of those things, unfortunately. I suggest using a different launcher and the Xposed Framework for the best way to mod without needing a custom rom.

Yes you can downgrade from lollipop to kit kat. Doing so does not effect the knox bootloader. Neither does rooting, only installing a recovery will. So if you were to want to root your phone so you can install a custom rom, you would need to install custom recovery to install the rom. This would trip the knox bootloader and void your warrenty. Im not sure if you lease your phone from tmobile, but if you do, you might want to reconsider custom roms, unless you intend on keeping the phone and not turning it back it for an upgrade. As far as rooting 5.0 lollipop im not sure. Im only speaking of my experience downgrading from 5.0 to kit kat. I hope this helps

Root UVU1DOB1 Android 5.0 on T-Mobile Galaxy S5 G900T Official Firmware
i got lollipop yesterday and i just did this 5 minutes ago. works perfectly. the only prerequisite is that you have to flash a custom recovery and immediately boot to the recovery to apply the zip

i just updraded to ob1 5.0 today and have since rooted it. took no time at all following the instructions listed in the link. now my question is can i run custom roms with the upgraded baseband and what not. would love to try some new roms on my shiny new s5
yeah, there's a couple. i ran cm12 for a bit but i had serious problems with bluetooth sound quality (dropped out every 3-5 seconds). i almost broke my S5 because of it. i've since downgraded again. i need touchwiz so i don't lose the fingerprint and other TW specific features, but right now there's no great way to incorporate xposed.. well, someone was hacking something, but i stopped following..
so essentially just hold and wait for something to be done. im loving my s5 but just want to increase battery life and maybe increase performance a bit. other than that i prefer tw and most stock files and features
I am on stock DOB1 now after bricking my phone a month ago.
Any idea if there are any stable Lollipop AOSP ROMs out there that work with the DOB1 Modems/BL?
I kinda want to try Sonic Kang. It looks pretty solid to me!
Does this root method trip knox? No recovery just root

It does if it flashes a custom bootloader or kernel.
Is this the case no matter what version OS of the phone you have?
New to the forums, but was hoping to get some help with this... pardon me if this was answered already...
I am on a rooted 5.1.1 stock firmware on my S5... I don't like it. I want to go back to KitKat or any version of Android that supports Xposed modules... I read in another forum that it's possible to do since (to my knowledge) the Xposed framework is not supported on our devices yet... so my question is simple. What do I need to do to get back on KitKat so I can use my beloved Xposed mods? Thanks for any contributions and if anyone needs more details, I'll be happy to tell you what you need to know. Thanks again.
Sent from my SM-G900T
Just picked up an S5 running 5.1.1 and I'm wondering the same. My guess is since its an unlocked bootloader you can go to sammobile, download the ROM and use odin to install it. I'm coming from an ATT S4 that had a locked BL so this is kinda new to me.

You are correct. But if the only reason the OP doesn't like lollipop is because Xposed doesn't work, why not just flash a ROM? G900T's unlocked bootloader lets you run whatever you want.
Xposed works fine on non-Samsung lollipop roms (cyanogenmod, for example)

I apologize if I am not posting this in the right location. It has been a while since I posted here on these boards.
Just last week I rooted my OF1 Verizon S4, installed FlashFire, and flashed the Stang5litre ROM to my phone.
Everything works great... However I have always loved the Cyanogenmod Roms and would really like to flash this Rom to my phone.
Can anyone provide some insight as to How I would go about doing so?
Thanks in advance for the help.

If you are not on a MDK bootloader, forget about AOSP or CM roms.
For those on OF1, the best thing you can do is check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/development/stang5litre-ediition-5-0-t3132555
Stang has developed a GREAT TWZ Lollipop ROM that is stripped of all the bloat and crapware, removed the gaudy red Verizon boo screen, and has really breathed new life into our S4's.
His current version is 3 which is based on the TWZ S5 (or is S6.) I run his Version 2 only because I'm a minimalist and feel V2 is as close to AOSP for those of us on OF1 as we'll ever get!
