After I rooted with king root I was wondering if there are any Roms that are installable with the oc1 bootloader?

theoretically, you could use anything based off of touchwiz lollipop. however, the only ROM that seems to be completely stable/properly working for people is http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/development/stang5litre-ediition-5-0-t3132555
Is there any clear guide on installing it

By no means are you required to do anything you see on these forums.

Depends what your intent is. First of all do you know what safestrap will allow you to do?

Countless times posted. ..If your firmware is older than mdk....you can only use safestrap as a recovery on the locked bootloader.

Am i supposed to use another version? what exactly am i supposed to do to install safestrap. and sorry ima newbie, just bought this phone not long ago, im completely new to android.
If all you want is root, SS is not needed. Just use towelroot by geohot (google it). I don't even believe SS is functional on 4.4.+

Well actually all i want to is to get rid of my current ROM which has a lot of verizon crap and install 4.4.2 Google Edition Rom, is that possible?

limitation of att 3.72 is you cant do rom slots and all rom installs must go to stock slot....but you can make backups and its been reported restore backups does work though I haven't tried it yet myself
I recently received a replacement phone and was bummed out to learn that it is a lot harder if not impossible to unlock the bootloader in this version.
What options do I have to get onto an AOSP rom? I have already rooted using towelroot by using the method for NG6.
Once rooted can I just flash cwm or something and go from there?
I really, really hate touchwiz guys.. :crying:

I'm stuck in the same boat. Cynanogen won't work. Some ROM that works with Safestrap is needed. I can't find a ROM, so I am debloating this thing like crazy.

There are multiple threads available that would answer the questions in great detail. No you can't flash CWM or TWRP, Safestrap is our only option. Nor can you use pure AOSP ROMs as we can't flash custom kernels so...touchwhiz it is. If you are looking for AOSP
look and feel then I would recommend Eclipse. Empty Galaxy 4.4.2 is also very nice (not really AOSP themed) and comes with Nova Launcher baked in. Blackbox is also a solid AOSP hybrid Rom and so is Chaos.

it'll probably be your only method. the Chinese seem to be taking over these root and jailbreak exploits. over on iOS, TaiG is the only group who has a jailbreak for the newest versions of that. and kingroot seems to be getting a similar status for people who want one-click root exploits.
keep in mind, root is a dangerous thing and it seriously harms the security of your device. you may not trust the Chinese, but they've probably been doing this all along.
good news though, you can replace the kinguser stuff with SuperSU somehow. don't ask me, I'm still running KitKat
KingRoot works. I just did it. Super easy.

I might be wrong but my understanding is that currently you can not install install any custom ROM on OC1, so why rush to root?
Any reason besides ability to uninstall some apps?

Apparently you can flash Stang5litre ROM on OTA 5.01 using Flashfire. I haven't tried it myself but if you go to the last couple of pages on the Stang5litre topic you will see post from those who were successful in flashing it on OC1.
For the last couple of days i've tried to find a way to unlock my phones bootloader, but i havent found any answers yet. Its a shame because there are tons of beautiful custom roms out there that offer a wide variety of features and a huge performance boost. So, does any of you have a way to install a custom recovery?

Not possible. Locked bootloader. I doubt if it will get unlocked. But, search around for safestrap or flash fire. These will allow you to flash some custom ROMs.

you can kinda have safestrap on lollipop but it's kludgy. the safestrap splash screen shows up 5-6 times before the OS boots up
Try rooting with king root. There's instructions on how to remove it afterward, then try albe95's galaxy s6 rom on her. It's the only one I've been able to get connected to verizon's network. It runs way better than stock rom once you turn off the edge feature.
I'm rooted on 5.0.1 with Lollipop and my performance and battery are phenomenal. I changed CPU to 810MHz on all cores and changed governor to Interactive with a Deadline scheduler. It's smooth, hardly lags and the battery lasts 24 hours (original battery). I used KingRoot APK, and I have not had any issues at all. The only thing I really want that I can't have is xPosed.

I don't remember doing that, but it wouldn't hurt. Also, it seems not all OF1's are created equal. If you get Stang5litre booted, seems some can't, then you stand a pretty good chance. You probably know that anything can happen though.

I used Flashfire, yes. It worked for me. I think theres a thread out in the general section now. Nevermind old thread, different Bootloader, different framework.
Just use the Krait zip and Flashfire.

I just used the latest from the Playstore. If that makes a difference.
I've been reading all over the forum but it's difficult to find a definitive answer. I have the AT&T version on 4.4.2, I527UCUBNJ2. I'm not looking for a custom recovery or ROM as I'm pretty sure no progress was ever really made on that. What I'm curious about is whether or not this build can be rooted. I'm not worried about tripping KNOX, I just want to make sure that by (attempting) to gain root I don't make a big brick.
