Hey everyone!
Here is the promised almost 100% stock deodexed ROM. This build differs from the odexed build in that it is now deodexed, comes pre-rooted and deKnoxed.
This is a stand-alone ROM that can also be used as a base by anyone that would like to use it for their own ROM.
REQUIREMENTS:You MUST be on a Lollipop bootloader in order for this ROM to work. I recommend flashing the OG1 Stock TAR and then Philz Recovery through Odin prior to flashing the ROM.
ROM FLASHING:- Boot to your custom recovery (recommended recovery is Philz Touch v6.41.6).
- Wipe Cache.
- Wipe Dalvik Cache.
- Wipe System and Data (Under "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" and then "Clean to Install a New ROM" in Philz Touch).
- Flash ROM!
- Enjoy!
*Please remember that Lollipop and Deodexed ROM's don't like to play nice with each other and require some time to get acquainted before the ROM will boot. It is not uncommon for the first boot to take between 10 and 20 minutes!
As a side-note I would strongly recommend flashing Tdunham's Debloat tool before running the ROM for the first time. It comes with a TON of bloat (thank you Sprint and Samsung!). You can get the Debloat tool in the attachments on this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...ent/stock-rom-od3-android-l-deodexed-t3128908

Failing root check
First off, rwilco you are awesome! Thanks so much.
I flashed stock tar, then odined philz recovery and then installed your rom.
Everything runs great but i cant pass root checker. Also tktanium backup wont load because it gets stuck on the verifying supersu and busynox screen. Plz help

I'm not sure why it does that sometimes but when it does your can either dirty flash the ROM or flash SuperSU. That'll get you back on track. Sorry!
Where does on get a flashable supersu package for og1? All i have is the odin version and that root isnt sticking either

To have the Odin flash of the stock TAR stick you need to boot to download mode from a complete powered off state. Once you have booted into OG1 then you shut down completely and then boot to download mode again to flash a custom recovery. Once you've done that you can flash the ZIP of this deodexed ROM.

What recovery are you attempting to flash? You should be able to flash a TAR version of the recovery via the PDA slot in Odin. The key is booting to Download mode from a completely powered off state.

Shut your phone down, boot to download mode, plug in USB and flash this Philz Touch 6.41.6 One-Click I created. If that doesn't get you a recovery we'll go back to the drawing board.

I wish. Unfortunately Samsung changed a lot of things with the introduction of Knox and although we can make them rooted, Knox somehow wipes root out after boot. Flashing a deKnoxed one-click with the new setup causes bootloops.
To make it more fun with the S6 Samsung made it so the tools we used to make the one-clicks no longer work period. We're seeing what we can do to work around everything but Samsung is making it much more difficult for us to do anything.

Hi ,
I am currently having 4.1.2 official on my SGH-I777, recently rooted it and have mobile odin lite installed.
Need CWM recovery installed so that i can flash SuperNexus2 rom. So i have downloaded recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.0-i777.zip file from clockworkmod dot com website . Can i flash it directly from the stock recovery which i have now? or any other safe method you can suggest.
In some thread, there was a mention to flash boot.sys file from other kernel using Mobile odin which will get cwm installed.
If this is the way to go, please suggest a safe Kernal. I am just looking to get a stable daily driver for now, as i dont have an alternate phone.
Thanks in advance
the stock recovery isn't good for much, so no, it won't allow you to directly flash the cwm recovery.
Once you're rooted and have mobile odin (&the odin i777 kernel) installed, you're halfway there.

If i flash boot.img extracted from AJK, will i be able to boot into the stock 4.1.2 which i already have, or should i directly start proceeding with CWM and the new ROM, just want to make sure before i start.
...side note warning... Do not use Rom Manager with the i777. If ya do u could possibly brick ur phone. There is a Stickied thread in this forum warning of this.
....no back to the regularly scheduled topic.

I think the nomswap version will allow you to boot to stock 4.1.2, but I can't promise that, I've never tried it. You should prepare as though you won't be able to return once you hit [flash firmware] from Mobile Odin. It's all covered in the guide.

Yes, if you use AJK v4.8 NoSwap you will be able to boot into your 4.1.2 system.
Also, if you are new to the I777, you should know that the recovery, including CWM recovery, is a part of the kernel, and not in a separate partition, so it can not be flashed separately from the kernel.

Thanks, guys i was able to flash noswap and was able to boot up into existing 4.1.2
I I rooted my S2 I777 using Frameroot-1.4.2 and flashed via Odin CWM 5.0.2.3 then I flashed AoCP KitKat from from GalaxyS2Root.com and now my phone is in a loop entering in recovery mode.
I flashed the rom on CWM and when I asked to reboot the system it start reboot and enter in recovery mode again.
I tried to flash the official rom from AT&T with Android 2.3.4 and even after I flash this rom it doesn't stop to enter in recovery mode.
First thing to do: perform a wipe/data from within recovery.

It was done and still reboot in recovery.
I tried to install a stock rom via Odin 1,85 but I failed in all the tries then I tried via Odin 3.07 and it worked and I did a full wipe and rebooted the system and it got back to recovery mode then I did it again and it worked.
Now I'm using a stock Rom with Androind 4.2.1.
Before it works I've tried to install the stock Rom and it worked then I rooted the phone and installed CWM and it always reboot in recovery mode.

This part makes me think you use Rom Manager, and that would explain why it keeps rebooting. There's no need to install CWM separately as it's included in i777 kernels. Rom Manager will ruin your phone, stay away from it (see the sticky).

I don't use Rom Manager.
It was rooted before and I was using a KitKat Rom but I tried to flash the Rom I mentioned and it bricked.
I unbricked it and rooted and installed CWM then it started with the problem.
As I said now I'm using a stock Rom with Android 4.2.1.
You said CWM is included in i777 Kernels so if I root my phone I can simply get in recovery mode and use the stock recovery to flash the Rom?
You mentioned that you rooted the stock firmware and installed a custom recovery, but without knowing your root - recovery process, it's hard to say where things went sideways.
The kernel of the i777 does include the recovery, but the stock kernel cannot be used to flash custom firmware.
>>this guide<< is one of the more reliable ways to go from stock to custom firmware.
summary;
-framaroot to establish root
-mobile odin to install custom kernel
-custom kernel to install custom firmware
happy flashing

I tried to follow the instruction in the link you sent me but I failed doing it.
I searched on google and I saw that Odin has an option OTA / Update zip but mine doesn't have this option.
Is there something I should do before flash a custom rom?
I'm using Mobile Odin Pro.

Agreed, the instructions in that guide can be a little confusing.
First, are you sure you are using the AT&T Galaxy S II SGH-I777? Because you said several times in this thread that you are now running 4.2.1, but there is no such version of the os for this phone. The latest official AT&T stock firmware is I777UCMD8 which is 4.1.2.
If you affirm that your phone is SGH-I777 running UCMD8 firmware, and that you have root, then the next step is to use mobile odin to flash AJK v4.9 NoSwap kernel. Download the zip file from the Kernel thread. Open the zip file with an archiving tool such as win-zip, 7zip, etc. and extract the boot.img. Mobile odin will not recognize the zip file, but it will recognize the boot.img as a kernel, and will flash that. So transfer the boot image to the phone sd card and flash with mobile odin.
Next, you will find that the phone buttons don't work. Transfer the AJK v4.9 zip file to the sd card, enter into Clockwork Mod recovery and flash the AJK v4.9 zip file. This will fix the buttons. Now you have a working stock UCMD8 with custom AJK kernel. Now you are ready to flash what ever firmware you want. Hope this helps, and feel free to ask questions.

I did exactly what you said and it worked but when I tried to flash a custom Rom it failed and bricked my phone again.
And now I'm back to the first topic, it always reboots in the recovery mode.
I'll try to fix it again.
I didn't see the error it showed me when failed in flash the custom rom. I know I should have seen it.
Here is a video of my phone rebooting in the recovery mode.

What firmware did you try to flash? If you tried again to flash the "AoCP KitKat from GalaxyS2Root dot com" that you mentioned in your first post, that in itself could be the problem. In the past, many products from the GalaxyS2Root website have caused numerous and various types of problems, including similar to your issue. For most of the past two and a half years, we have been advising people to avoid the Galaxy S2 Root website and products. It is best to flash firmware downloaded from XDA-Developers.
If you are trying to install a version of kitkat on your phone, then you also probably need advice from someone more familiar with kitkat, like cyril279 or SteveMurphy. Maybe one of them will jump in and help.

Just breezed through this and didn't see this mentioned but in the aocp kitkat forum here it states in the op you must be on cwm 6.0.4.4 or higher to flash their ROM. This is true for all kitkat ROMs I've tried so far. This may have been the source of your problem although usually most report getting a status7 error at this point but I'm not familiar with that cwm version you mentioned.
Also twrp works really well and it's touch based.

If you go back to AT&T stock 4.1.2 I777UCMD8 to start over, here are a couple of ways to get the kernel you need. Please bear in mind that the only kernel that will boot UCMD8 into system is the AJK v4.9 kernel that you used before. When you install another kernel such as RenderBroken's CWM or TWRP kenrel, or the one from OmniRom, the system will no longer boot, but you will be able to boot into recovery, so just avoid trying to boot the system, and choose the option to boot directly into recovery. Or... pull the battery and then use the button combo to enter recovery.
1) Extract the boot.img directly from the OmniRom zip file, and flash that using mobile odin. In this case, once you have UCMD8 rooted, you can skip the step of flashing AJK and flash the OmniRom kernel directly. Reboot into the new recovery and flash OmniRom.
2) Flash the AJK kernel as in my previous instructions. Then enter recovery and flash RenderBroken's kernel. Boot directly into recovery and flash OmniRom.

Or... pull the battery and then use the button combo to enter recovery.
1) Extract the boot.img directly from the OmniRom zip file, and flash that using mobile odin. In this case, once you have UCMD8 rooted, you can skip the step of flashing AJK and flash the OmniRom kernel directly. Reboot into the new recovery and flash OmniRom.
2) Flash the AJK kernel as in my previous instructions. Then enter recovery and flash RenderBroken's kernel. Boot directly into recovery and flash OmniRom.

I did exactly what you said and it worked. Now I'm running OmniRom and I didn't have any problem during the process to flash and not even after.
Thank you everyone.
I'll be more careful next time.

Thank you.
I have a rooted sprint note 3 that I really want to flash a custom rom on. I cannot seem to find any good places to give me step by step instructions. I have flashed custom roms way back on my droid razr, but I really need some help. Can anyone point me in the right direction with a link or anything that will walk me through this?
I'm also having the same problem, I'm rooted but don't know how to install a custom recovery. I used toweltoot. Any suggestions??!

OK, first what version of KIKAT are you on ? If you are on 4.4.4 NH7 the latest upgrade then you can root with Chainfires CF-autoroot or his SuperSu v 1.94 or v2.02 this will trip KNOX warranty. Towel Root will not work yet for NH7. If you are still on 4.4.2 NC5 then you can use Towel Root to root your device, this will NOT trip KNOX warranty. If you root with Chainfires CF-autoroot or his SuperSu v 1.94 or v2.02 this will trip KNOX warranty on NC5.
Recoveries, the two popular ones are TWRP and Philz CWM. INSTALLING A RECOVERY WILL TRIP KNOX WARRANTY!!! You need a recovery to flash roms so you need to make choice at this point ? Here is the link to Philz CWM latest version 6.48.4.tar https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/hlte/ download to desktop or downloads.
I run a stock rooted 4.4.2 NC5 with Philz custom recovery version 6.12.9 hltespr https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/hltespr/ . The device was rooted and warranty tripped the second day I owned it. I was in a Sprint corporate Store a couple of wks ago. Showed the tech my rooted note 3. He said I can't touch that, I said what if I unrooted the phone. He said no problem, now I can warranty the phone. He didn't care that the KNOX flag was tripped at all 0x1. Just can't be rooted when you bring it in for service. Sprint doesn't care about KNOX only Samsung cares about KNOX. When Samsung paid millions to the NSA to design a security system to track and spy on others than they care !!!
Ok lets install a recovery !!!
1. you need Odin on the desktop of your PC here is the link http://www.downloadodin.info/download-odin-1-85
2. you need to install Samsung drivers on your PC you can get them from the link in #1
3. completely power down your device, and boot into download mode (press and hold the power button, volume down button, and the home button at the same time) a new screen will popup then push the volume up button to get into download mode.
4. click on the Odin zip file and extract to desktop, right click and run as administrator
5. with your device in download mode connect it to your pc via usb cable, COM: will light up in the upper left hand corner of Odin doesn't matter what color or number just shows a connection has been made.
6. click PDA box in odin, a box will popup click where ever you have recovery file downloaded, once open it will show up in box next to PDA
7. click start wait till you see pass and success 1, then your custom recovery is installed.
After the recovery is installed, download a copy of SuperSu to your desktop here is the link http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/ to version v1.94. Then copy and paste to sd card via USB cable. Now the next thing you are going to do is completely power down the device and boot into recovery. (press and hold the power button, volume up button, and home button at he same time) a menu will come up, click on Install Zip, then sd card to install zip and root device. Boot device and verify it is rooted, then power down, and boot into recovery. Click on backup, MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR ROOTED ROM !!! Then make a backup of EFS file by its self it will show up in your backup file on the sd card or ext sd card depending on where you choose to put it. Copy and paste the efs file someplace safe.
With the Google Play Store download some type of root file manager like Root Explorer (what I use)
OK lets flash a rom !!!
First, you CANNOT flash a rom that is based on an older version of rom you are currently running. EX: If you are on KK 4.4.2 NC5 you can flash a rom based on NAB or NC5 but you CANNOT use a rom based on mj4 or older read the OP thread carefully . You can run AOSP roms as long as they are based on 4.4+.
1. install the new rom zip you want to flash on your sd card via usb cable from PC or download directly to device
2. power down phone completely and boot into recovery
3. from the menu find and wipe cache, delvik cache, and wipe system to install new rom, NOT FACTORY RESET !!!
4. go back to menu and click on install zip then click on where you have the zip ( i.e. sd card ) and install this will take a minute or two
5. back to main menu and reboot device this will take several minutes on the first boot of a new rom
6. enjoy your new rom !!!
Lets do a restore from backup recovery file !!!
1. completely power down device and boot into recovery
2. go to main menu and click on wipe system to install new rom ( no need to mess with the caches on a restore )
3. back to the menu click on back up and restore, then click on the backup file location ( i.e. sd card )
4. now click on restore
5. when its completed reboot device this will install your original rooted stock rom you made a backup for
Eventually you will figure out that you can make several backups and they have really weird numbered time stamps to identify them.

Thanks so much for your help! Unfortunately I am not even able to install Odin on my windows 7 pc. Chrome says its malicious and blocks it, Firefox does the same. First my Norton firewall wouldn't allow it, so I disabled that long enough to try to download Odin.
I can't do anything unless I can get Odin to download to my pc.

If I'm on CM11, can I flash a TouchWiz ROM that's on 4.4.2?
Because I've been trying to flash the Vision-X ROM but I get stuck in a bootloop after I flash the kernel and ROM.

YES, first, make sure you are wiping everything in recovery, then I would just flash the rom. This will make sure you don't have a bad down load of the rom. If it boots up, then go back into recovery and flash the kernel. You should try the LeanKernel its OC to 2.7ghz here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2488082 Vision-X is TW based rom so click leankernel other n900x devices choose the " hltespr kk v3.8 " kernel. Enjoy !!!
Make sure you install Trickster or SetCPU from the play store so you can set what type of governor you want to use on the kernel. ( like interactive ) Then you need to set the min and max cpu frequencies so the kernel will give you the maximum battery life.

When you say stuck in a bootloop, does that mean its stuck at say the sprint logo ? It takes a full 5 to 6 minutes on the first boot up !!! Make sure you use the stock kernel, then flash a custom one later.
If that doesn't work, you should have made a backup of your original stock rooted 4.4.2 NC5. Go to your recovery WIPE cache, delvike cache, and wipe system to install a new rom. Then restore the original stock rooted backup and boot the device. If it boots then go back into recovery wipe everything again and install the Vision-X zip again and boot it.
Sometimes after an AOSP rom like CM11, you have to go back to stock rooted and start again.

Normally it would go to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 logo to the Sprint logo and then turn on, but it just bootloops on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 logo.

Yes here you go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472664 scroll down to old 4.4.2 NC5(D) click on show content. Download the Full Rom ODEX NC5 version. This is flashed through a recovery like twrp or cwm.
If you don't have a backup of the original rom that came with the phone I would go this way. First, here is a link for a complete stock 4.4.2 NC5 rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712205 just click on NC5 and follow the instructions on the top of the thread. Then install the recovery look in post #3. Then root the device here is the link http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/ this is Chainfires supersu v1.94.
Once you are back to stock rooted nc5, go to recovery make a backup to a ext sd card or use the internal sd card, then copy and paste the backup file somewhere on your PC. Now have base to work from, so if something goes south you can always get back to square one. With all the flashing I do, I end up recovering a backup at least a couple of times a wk or day if I'm trying something out. It's like system restore on a PC.

Awesome !!! Believe it or not, even with a perfect backup to restore from. Every once in awhile I will start from scratch and get a fresh stock copy of NC5, use Odin to install and get back to original official status. Then root, get rid of the bloatware, and make a backup just to keep things fresh. I have not upgraded to 4.4.4 NH7 and don't recommend it at this time. There are a lot of complaints of stuff missing or not working.
Besides, I'm rooted and flashing other roms. 4.4.4 only adds Kid Mode and some security updates, which are useless if you have a custom rom in the device.
Same issue
I am having the same issue with the bootloop sticking on the galaxy screen. I used CF autoroot to root my 4.4.2 stock. Installed Josh's KKKiller 4.4.2. Liked it but had some issues so went back to stock 4.4.2. Re rooted with CF. Installed AOSP rom but my phone needs stock voicemail to dl vociemail to phone. Went back to stock NC5 Odin. Went to reinstall TWRP and cannot install any but the latest 4.4.4 TWRP and cannot install any rom but a 4.4.4. I have re-stocked and re-rooted. I cannot even flash the stock? 4.4.4 NH7. Get the same error message from TWRP on all but Pacman, Liquidsmooth. Havent tried all the aosp but assume results will be the same. I would like to flash some 4.4.2 roms. Am I stuck?

No, just install the 4.4.4 twrp recovery that works. Boot into that recovery and wipe everything i.e. cache, delvik cache, and completely wipe system to install a new rom. Now from recovery boot into download mode. Then from your PC bring up odin and flash a fresh copy of NC5, I use micmars NC5 here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712205 now this should take you back to NC5 stock. Then try flashing Philz CWM 6.12.9 hltespr here is the link https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/hltespr/ it just seems to work better when you are flashing back and forth from AOSP . Just me I have beat that recovery to death and it has never failed. Make sure the first thing you do is make a backup after you are rooted, so you can always get back to square one. You should also have a backup of your efs file on your PC for safe keeping. Let me know how it goes.
I just got myself a note 3 for sprint, and it had the OC5 Lollipop update on it. I flashed CF-Auto-Root on it, and it booted up fine. Used it for a bit, and then I tried putting TWRP on to flash Xposed Framework. TWRP flashed fine, and worked fine, but now the phone will not boot into the stock rooted rom. I have tried flashing the factory image again, that didn't fix it. Even tried flashing a kitkat factory image, and that didn't work either. The only way i can get the phone to boot into the OS is if i run a custom kitkat rom, and then everything seems to work fine. So where can i go from here to get the factory lollipop rooted with a custom recovery working?

I'd say go back to NK4 and then accept the update to OC5 and root.
You'll need these files, please thank the OPs of the threads.
NK4 tar from [Odin] Mirrors for Official Samsung Tars for MJ4, NAB, NC5, NH7 & NK4
twrp-2.8.6.1-hltespr-4.4.img.tar from TWRP hltespr page
UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip from [STABLE][2015.02.13] SuperSU v2.46
Copy SuperSU zip file to your sdcard.
boot to recovery and factory reset, wipe partition cache and dalvik cache.
Then power the phone off from recovery.
Boot to download mode Volume Down + Home + Power ... then Volume Up.
(from the OFF state, booting into download mode from a ROM or recovery never works correctly when using odin)
Using Odin 3.09 flash NK4 tar, let it reboot, it will take it a while to start the first time.
when the phone restarts, unplug the usb cable.
you can skip all the setup stuff and then get the ota to get back to OC5; Settings, System Update, Firmware Update
once ota is completely done, power the phone off
go into download mode
odin the twrp tar (uncheck everything in odin)
once odin says pass unplug the usb cable and press Volume Up + Home + Power until the phone vibrates and you see the blue writing - this will get you into recovery w/o having to pull the battery.
flash the SuperSU zip file.
reboot to system, you should be on OC5 stock rooted.

Just did the install over OA6. It worked out with no problems and rooted via TWRP. Just remember to power down before running Odin or you won't get the full update. Thanks for posting the file.
Flashed in Odin over OA6 stock deodexed (didn't wipe). Works fine, didn't have to reinstall any apps. Rooted through TWRP with no trouble.

Quick question. How are you rooting with twrp? I don't see the option to root

I flashed TWRP then booted into recovery. Then I went to reboot and it pointed out I didn't have root and offered to root and install SuperSU. I accepted.
Has anyone flashed this over the OD3 De-odexed version?
Will it matter if you Odin the Stock Odexed over a De-odexed firmware?

There isn't one that I know of. If you tell TWRP to reboot the system, it will ask you if you want to root the phone if it detects that it isn't currently rooted.
You would need to install busybox separately from the play store.

This did not work.
I did an Odin of OG1 over OD3
Most seemed to be good but broke Data and Wifi/Internet
Even tried doing a factory reset and activation and wifi/internet would not work
Had a TWRP backup so I restored that
Odd thing is I'm on OD3 with the OG1 modem and everything seems to be fine -- go figure
I'll wait until I hear more results from other people or maybe a newer revision - OD3 is working fine for me

You have to enter download mode from a powered off state. Pull the battery, put it back in, and then flash. Otherwise you will have modem issues (wifi/internet).

I did.
Powered off, pulled the battery, did the Odin of OG1 over the OD3 De-odexed
Rebooted - let the rom do its bootup thing, no internet, no data
Even did a full phone reset - no wifi/data - weird.
TWRP restored my OD3 backup and phone is back and working - the odd thing is that the internet/data
is working fine now with OD3 and OG1 modem

Ok if your on of6 you can still run Moars.
And you can also with this rom. I'll post instructions when I get home about 2 hours. You have to flash twrp.img in odin
After flashing this. But you can't reboot during the 2 flashes. Must odin both from a powered off state both times. After flashing twrp. Img power off the phone by pulling battery. Boot into twrp recovery. Then from in recovery hit reboot. And it will ask if you'd like to root the phone you choose yes.
Then upon reboot you'll be Rooted. Next download Moars. Zip and flash Moars in your twrp (custom recovery). Tada
I'll get you the files if you can't find them when I get home.

Try wiping internal before the odin flash make sure auto reboot and reset time are unchecked in odin. Or you possibly have a bad download.

The download provided OG1 is firmware, right? I have TWRP installed already...I pretty much have it...beyond that
I'm a bit of a newb to this, so can somone help me please? My objective right now is to get root on my S5 G900P, I dont care if i can get root only or have to flash a custom rom to make this happen, I'm currently on a stock OD3. I have tried to use chainfire to root my device but it fails, I just tried to load twrp-klte into it, it fails also. Can i load this firmware on my OD3 and try to root it via TWRP like others have said? Thanks
Rooted and booted.. Stock rom.. ??

og1 FULL ROM
here the links to Odin 310.6 (thanks to tdunham for the files)
twrp.img are the 2 files
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=15340
odin this( rom AP slot) from a battery pulled powered off stat
make sure auto reboot and reset time is unchecked in odin
when the screen says pass Dont reboot.
unplug it and pull the battery and put it back in download mode manually
the flash twrp.img file in odin also ap slot (again make sure auto reboot and reset time are unchecked in odin
when it says pass. reboot directly to your custom recovery you just flashed.
hit the reboot button once recovery opens at that point it will alert you that you aren't rooted and would you like to obtain root. say yes. and it will reboot( Rooted with custom recovery). from that point you can flash moars through recovery or what ever custom rom you'd like.
Interesting looks like firmware...i.e. OD3, OA6, OF6, and now OG1 which are firmware in contrast to MOAR... which is considered a ROM...meanwhile thanks for your assistance...waiting for MOAR to boot
