I'm currently using my older galaxy nexus and love the options of different roms and such, what's the best way to go with my s4 that has MJ7, do I need to update the base software or just install safestrap and TW based rom? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Best way to go is to update to nc5. From there install towelroot to gain root then safestrap. You might also need to download selinux changer from the play store. If safestrap doesn't work then go into selinux and set to permissive. From there flash away any TW based rom. I prefer echoerom. I had a Galaxy nexus with AOKP. Really miss being able to use it.

Verizon is locking everything down. Note 3's and 4's, the s5... It's painful but at least we still can flash something better

Keep the nc5 modem

I'm sure you could just swap the sim card since they're both lte devices. If it doesn't work then contact Verizon about getting a newer sim

I've been running Vision-X from the ATT S4 forums for a few days. It's based on XXUFNB9, which is one of the TW 4.4.2 OTA's for the International S4. It was running pretty well, and had no issues. I literally just flashed Goldeneye, which is also based on an international S4 OTA. I've had no issues and have noticed a slight speed increase.
Important note, after flashing Vision-x, I had to flash loki-doki to Loki the kernel or it would not boot. This is assuming you are on an MDK bootloder.
Good to know I forgot to look into the international ones. I usually stick to stay I see on our forums. Thanks for sharing though

Me too, but Verizon is taking too long to release a 4.4 base, so I figured why not look elsewhere.
I tried a couple different things yesterday with the same out come. First I restored to my original 4.2 stock rooted rom and had no volume so I went back to CM11. Later in the day I flashed Hyperdrive 4.3TW rom and had the same deal, no volume. Is there something special I need to do when coming from 4.4 AOSP to 4.2/4.3 TW rom to make the volume work?

I vaguely remember reading in one of the other carrier's S4 forum that no sound after flashing a rom is related to being on either the wrong bootloader, or wrong kernel. If you flashed Hyperdrive, it's safe to assume the kernel is correct. What bootloader are you on? Not sure this applies to the VZW S4. It may only apply to the TMobile, or other GSM variants.

Right now I'm running Goldeneye from the i9505 section. Loving it. You need to be on the MDK bootloader with a recovery installed. I'm using Philz Touch recovery. Flash the Goldeneye ROM, then flash a Loki-Doki. That should be it. Both are linked below.

From what i gathered he just flashed the rom + Loki Doki which Lokis the kernel that comes with that rom.
Since Verizon doesn't officially have 4.4 yet there aren't any 4.4 TW kernels for it yet . as far as i know.

Well not having done what you're doing now I have to admit I'm guessing...
You could try an APN app from the play store as long as you have WiFi now. There's one I've used that will get the Verizon apns and set them. Don't remember the name of it however.
Gigilie has compatibility packs I've been looking into over on one his Roms he ported over for our phones.. I'm not really sure what they include but I know people flashing i9505 Roms had something they would also flash to get everything going. Whether or not the apns are part of it again I'm not sure.
The other person on here didn't make mention of flashing anything but the Loki doki so I'm not 100% maybe he can chime in.

With the MK2 build you can only use safestrap as your custom recovery and your limited on what custom roms you can use. I'm on the MK2 build as well and personally I like the stock rom with the tether mod.

Okay Buddy with the MK2 builld you can only use TW based roms no ASOP/Cyanogenmod.
1.) To root u must use saferoot here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758
2.) Then you must install Safestrap 3.71 Hashcode has a thread about ithere: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2441441
3.) After doing that you want to look on this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2630040
decarturbob has compiled a list of MK2 Safestrap Compatible roms.
Hope this helps buddy. Make sure you read the threads carefully and follow each step. My current fav roms are the TW(ASOP themed roms):fingers-crossed:
Thank you all for the help. Really appreciate it.
To add to my question, after rooting, running the stock ROM, can I turn off OTA updates? I keep getting an annoying notification to update.

Using Titanium Backup, you can "freeze" applications, which keeps them from running. The software update application is called SDM.
So, open Titanium, search for "SDM", the click on "Freeze!". It won't run any longer.

I have installed safestrap and downloaded the module for the MK2 build. It then says to flash the modules file..how do I do that if I cant boot into recovery mode? I assume this is why safestrap is telling me I'm not rooted.

You flash the modules file AFTER you flash a custom ROM into a ROM slot. How did you manage to flash into a ROM slot if you can't get into Safestrap recovery?
If installing Safestrap fails and tells you you're not rooted, then either you're not rooted, or you still have Knox enabled. You'll need to be rooted before you can do any of this, so start there. See the Saferoot thread.

Yes, you can install Safestrap and install it's recovery. Safestrap was basically made for phones with locked bootloaders, and it will allow you to install TouchWiz ROMs onto your S4. I was like you, rooted with towelroot and on the newest firmware. I then installed Safestrap and am now running my own personal favorite ROM. You are clear to install it!
Am I only able to install touchwiz roms or can I use any s4 rom in safestrap? I saw the pacman rom the other day and am really interested in it but I'm afraid I'll brick my phone lol. Oh and do you by chance know which version of safestrap I can use on my phone?

You are only able to use TouchWiz based ROM's with Safestrap unfortunately, which is a huge bummer but we have to live with what we get, we should be thankful we even get ROM's at all. The only exception to this is a new ROM that was just released, and it's an AOSP Google Play Edition ROM, for which the info related to it can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ow-to-install-aosp-s4-google-edition-t2817708
Also, stick to Safestrap version 3.72. It's the most stable one for Verizon phones currently.
If you are installing safestrap 3.72, don't forget to set SE for android to permissive. It might not work If you dont do this. To do this, install terminal emulator from the play store if you already haven't. Open the app up and type in "su". This will prompt a superuser request. Accept the request and type in "setenforce 0" to change SE for android from "enforcing" to "permissive". It will set itself back to "enforcing" upon reeboot. Good luck finding a rom and installing safestrap

If you are installing safestrap 3.72, don't forget to set SE for android to permissive. It might not work If you dont do this. To do this, install terminal emulator from the play store if you already haven't. Open the app up and type in "su". This will prompt a superuser request. Accept the request and type in "setenforce 0" to change SE for android from "enforcing" to "permissive". It will set itself back to "enforcing" upon reeboot. Good luck finding a rom and installing safestrap

you could also install SELinuxModeChanger from the Play Store (its a free app) and hit the "Permissive" button once it installs. then reboot your phone. voila.
Samsung has Released Android 5.1.1 Lollipop For the Galaxy Noted Edge "Sprint variant"
THIS WILL ONLY WORK WITH "NOTE EDGE FOR SPRINT"
How To Install:
1. Download the stock 5.1.1 firmware from here: https://mega.nz/#!StEHUJpS!5D20VK0KeW3fk383Q1LJoQ5zyqES6ta1xiwH3jaRBmU
2. And Okay... hmmm I'm pretty sure all of you know how to flash a stock rom using odin
Why not screenshots??
Because I don't own a Note Edge Unfortunately
There isn't much of a visual change from 5.0 really... Except for the contacts app.

But it will fix a lot of bad flashes
Amen brother like my bad flash lol
Same rooting method once installed?
No
Would i have any problems if i odin this on a rooted Edge? I dont care abot root anymore since no one is supporting the sprint edge anyways.
Just odin over 5.0 or do i have to odin factory k.k than odin lollipop and than this ? TIA.
Odin over then wipe in Stock recovery
killer! I luvs it - finally getting that annoying default text tone - never sounded so good!
So has anyone found a way to root this file yet?
can wait for a rooted one, we really dont have many devs though, sucks cause this phone rocks
So whats different between 5.0.1 and this, is it worth me losing root and hoping to get it back in the future
Any word on whether this can be rooted?
CF Auto Root worked for 5.0.1. I wonder if it will work for 5.1.1. I'm tempted to try it....

Well, I don't need to try it, I found that it cannot be done because Samsung added root protection to the kernel. This post and related thread is from Note 4, which I'm sure is the same situation for the Edge:

5.1.1 kills cf-auto root... It did the same with the note edge.. Kernel exploit is the only way to root..

Now, @freeza has released a kernel for the Sprint Note 4 910P to allow root. If enough of us Edge owners can contact, beg, and donate [hint] to him, I'll be he would be willing to provide us with a modified kernel to allow us root.......

Request was sent to him. Heres hoping...

Did the same. I'd like to see the improvements that 5.1.1 has to offer, but I really don't want to lose root.

I wanted to ask if you will be able to get this new update working with freezas kernel and even once that is up if the new one covering stagefright will put is right back into this same stuck place?
(Just wondering if i am going to have to give up root on this phone at this point?)

I am confident that we will achieve root. That is not the issue for me. I am waiting around for Xposed to support TW 5.1.1. Until then, I will use other methods to mitigate Stagefright. With ongoing security patches, I'd imagine that there will be plenty of people who can take the upldate.zip and repackage it to be flahable via custom recovery.
