Hey guys,
I wanted to get a ROM on my gs4, but as far as I can see, there is a problem.
Will any ROMS work with the NG6 Kernel. I have rooted it using the root method by Muniz HERE(Flashing NC5, then back to NG6). I want either hyperdrive or stock android. Please help.

What dont u just revert back to NC5 and then just install custom roms . As far as i know the Safestrap Recovery works on nc5 it does not work on ng6..
I end up in a soft brick with it saying something with the kernel being invalid, then I have to go back to NG6.

Safestrap 3.75 works with ng6 from what I have read. I agree though, downgrade to nc5. Ng6 is so buggy it isn't worth it.
Hello everyone,
I'm looking to flash my Verizon S4 i545 for the first time. I have the NK1 Build on it. So far, I've rooted it with towel root and have safestrap 3.75 installed.
From doing my research it seems that having the NK1 build prevents me from flashing some roms such as CM11. All I really want from my s4 (had it since launch) is to have the best performance and battery life possible. I'm not looking to do anything fancy beyond that. From some online reading, it seems Hyperdrive might be the best rom for my needs.
How can I go about installing the Hyperdrive rom? (which version should I look out for considering I have NK1)
What precautions should I take before attempting to install?
What other custom roms can I install onto my S4 NK1 build?
Thank you in advance!
I hace the same thing, and muy SE is enforcing. I dont know if that is important.

Honestly, you should downgrade back to nc5 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172 You won't be able to install any CM or AOSP rom since you're not on mdk. Hyperdrive is a good rom. Echoerom and Eclipse are solid as well. They're also based on nc5 and you'll likely not have too many problems if you downgrade back.
Hi i try ti downgrade to nc5 and did not Work the phone freeze. I try hyperrom i like it but WiFi never Work and have to do a restore and lost root and safestrap, i think i cant go back to nc5
Nevermind i did it but stay on nk1

If you use the full wipe nc5, it shouldn't be buggy. It's like having a clean slate. For myself, I've always had better success from nc5 than nk1.

You'll need wifi modules for echoe. There's a lot you need for echoe but it is the better rom imo. I'm using 39.1

Will downgrading to NC5 No Wipe remove root?
Thanks

I believe either one will. But from nc5, you just need towelroot

thanks. So would it be an accurate statement that at this point in time, unless someone just wants a stock rooted nk1, there's really no point in rooting an nk1 because you just need to downgrade to nc5 anyway, and then re-root again, in order to flash any custom roms; And you do not need root to downgrade via Odin, correct?

For me it's just preference. Most roms are nc5 based. There are modules and fixes out for those on nk1, but for me, I have always had issues with it. Downgrading to nc5 eliminated the problems. You still need to flash modules and wifi fixes, but I find it to be far more stable. No, you don't need to be rooted to use Odin. If you do plan on downgrading, I would suggest the full wipe. Some have experienced issues with the non wipe. Hope all this helps.

Do the full wipe nc5, it should take care of it. The non wipe is hit or miss when it comes to problems.

We can't flash cm or any aosp roms. Our phones are locked down. There might be 1 or 2 GPE roms that will work with some tweaking. Other than that, we are stuck with TW based roms

Yeah i noticed that lol, at least i've been learning a lot of things about how to flash, odin, the bootloaer, the roms, firmware etc. I managed to install hyperrom's last version and it's pretty decent. Fcuk Verizon btw
You can use SuperNexus ROM. It works with safestrap. You can also use Kitpop ROM.

Hi guys, came home to find that the Lolipop ROM seems to have hit my phone.
I'm running 4.4.2 NK1 (Safestrap) on stock. I rooted using the Odin method of temporarily changing back to NC5 to root with TowelRoot then flashing NK1 back.
My questions are
Is there currently a way to keep root for my device when updating to Lollipop
Is there a way of reverting back to 4.4.2 NK1 if anything bad does happen.
I have a NANDroid backup if that helps me.

Hi,
You'll lose root (in other words: You should root again). You can go back to 4.4.2 NK1 as long as you have an EFS backup from KK.

I couldn't find anything that I retained to me yesterday. But I found something today.
i loved the battery life of this rom, well really i just loved this rom... http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2567499 now when trying to install i get bootloops..its mj4 so is there a way i can go back to mj4?..on stock oc5 rooted/twrp recovery.. also does anybody recommend or know of a stripped down efficient rom like minimus that will work when on oc5?? thanks in advance.
i was told by a user to just flash mj4 and then flash rom, but i was told by a friend never to downgrade bootloader or modem as it would brick my n3. so now i guess im looking for direction...im on oc5 lollipop and want to flash above linked rom . has anybody done this successfully, i mean go from oc5 lollipop to mj4 minimus? thanks in advance for any helpful posts.

Sorry there is no way to go back. Once you upgrade to NC5 ( KitKat ) and beyond with KNOX as part of the OS. At this point on one has figured out how to go back to MJ4 and reset the KNOX counter. You can down grade from OC5 to ( NC5,NH7,and NK4 ) without to much trouble. Usually the device will bootloop on the first odin flash back when downgrade but just pull the battery and go to download mode and flash it again. Usually boots on the second flash of a down graded OS. I have post here somewhere on how to do it, will try to find it and post here. You can check out more info by clicking my signature.
You can read through this post to, will show you how to go back to ( NC5,NH7,and NK4 ) http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/help/4-4-4-download-mode-t2877528 tells how to get around the bootloops.
I had to Odin up to OC5 so that Temasek's 12.1 ROM would work on my phone. Looking at *Samsung* Phone INFO I noticed that OH1 is the most recent firmware. What are the benefits of updating to this firmware? Does it have a better modem/baseband? Will it work better with CM13 if/when they get it working for hltespr? Just wondering if I should even try to update.
Thanks,
