Hello,
Yesterday I picked up a T-Mobile Z1S and rooted it via TowelRoot, installed a custom recovery, and manually debloated the /system. Which is all good, however, I want to know if any of the ROMS here in this forum can be flashed to it, considering the Z1 and Z1S have the same processor. Anyone have experience doing this? Thanks.

*In My Drake Voice* Just Wait On It ;P
Locked bootloader typically means it will be hard to flash custom ROMs until a way to bypass it or unlock it becomes available even with root.
I could not get towel root to work with my z1s. You just ran it and had root?
I have tried a couple yes with no luck.

Actually, there are no roms yet, but you can deodex your current rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783626
I rooted a little different than others. First I used the jcase method, installed the dual recovery and installed SuperSU. From there, I installed TowelRoot and ran it, rebooted, then flashed the latest v2 SuperSU. Sounds a little redundant I know, however, now I have permanent root, and also read/write permissions in /system, even after reboot, without running those ADB commands all the time.

I'll try to get a good system dump from my Z1S, and release a ROM that doesn't affect the kernel, which should be able to be flashed via recovery. Since the ROM will only be /system mods, it shouldn't matter if the boot loader is locked still. Inform me please if I'm mistaken.

I think that should be right, I thought the bootloader only prevents booting if the kernel isn't supported/allowed

No, you are correct.
As long as it runs on a stock kernel then you can have a locked bootloader. the whole of the development section is full of roms like that
The original development section is for mods/roms that need a custom kernel or a non stock boot.img

does this mean i can flash a rom with stock kernel?
has any one been able to create a back up nan?
This thread caught my attention. Has anyone had luck with flashing a rom with stock kernal using dual recovery? I will be attempting this later in the evening and I will post my results
After multiple issues I was finally able to get dual recovery with root last night. After sifting through the forums looking through roms, all of them required different firmwares, will the c6916 take firmwares from other z1 devices. If so then as the above poster said, there is loads of roms in the development section that will worked with locked bootloader. The only reason I ask is the posts list different device model numbers and the c6916 is not listed on any.
I would be very careful I hope you have insurance.
Kk update will come soon.

Our devices have a 4.3 kernel that cannot be changed due to the bootloader being locked. Flashing a 4.4.X ROM will most likely not boot due to needing a 4.4 kernel as well. However, 4.3 ROMS modified to not flash the kernel, just the /system should boot fine.
When trying to boot another custom stock rom make sure you change the.
1. Libandroid-runtime-so.
2. Libandroid-servers-so.
Without not changing these it will not usually not boot up.

Should work the same as the S4 MF update that locked down the bootloader. You should be able to root but as for custom roms and CWM/TWRP we're out of luck.
Coming from a S4 running CM10.2 I'm not going to like using the standard rom but will get used to it I guess.
So even with the bootlegged locked we should be able to tour so we can use TB to backup and restore?

I have a locked MF3 firmware S4 and I'm running 3 different ROMs that are hot swappable thanks to Safestrap developed my Hashcode so even with a locked bootloader you can do something. Only thing is for now we are limited to internal storage for the ROM slots can't create them on external SD card but Hashcode has been working on that. Also we can only flash TW ROMs since we can't flash a custom kernel but that is also being worked on, I believe they want to be able flash a kernel with kexec. I have an AT&T S4 and currently swapping between an international Foxhound ROM, Google Play ROM, and well the stock ROM.

Even tho I don't have any phone that has a bootloader. (i don't live in the USA Neither)
But if your Bootloader is locked you cannot Flash CWM or TWRP or flash custom roms (Because they need CWM or TWRP).
Sorry if I'm wrong. I don't have any phone with locked bootloader. Hope this helps.

Ditto... which is why I am returning my AT&T Note 3 less than 24 hrs after I purchased it.
My fault for not researching the bootlocker issue, but no way am I going to give up Titanium Backup. It has saved my tail more than once.
I'm also coming from an att S4. There has not been a bootloader unlock exploit but they do have some work around exploits like loki & safestrape. Loki is out bc they've already patched that so at this point I just hope we get root bc without that you don't have a fighting chance at custom roms

All I want to do is remove the AT&T bloat as well as the Samsung bloat. When I took my stock Note 2 and installed Cleanrom on it it felt like the phone got a cpu boost. Everything was smoother and faster.
With root, can we uninstall crap that is blocked from being removed while stock? I can live with a locked bootloader if I can just get as close to a stripped rom as possible. I'm pretty new to this stuff so forgive the newbie question.
I flashed ML2 and I got issue with WiFi I really need root my phone to able flash a ROM

A) answers don't always come in less than an hour. Sometimes they don't come at all. B) There is no ability to flash a ROM on an i537 as it has a locked bootloader. The only way to use a different ROM is with Safestrap. C) There is no root for the OTA 4.3. D) You need to use some periods and commas so your posts make some sense.
thanks I know the bootloader is locked and we can't get custom recovery the roots helps and fix alot of issues on android phones .. i used safestrap on MF1 with s4 Google Edition and Hyperdrive ROMs

You're right, I didn't fully answer your question there are a bunch of SafeStrap threads out there and a few of them have the answers you're looking for, but not the one I linked to.
Since we have a locked bootloader we cannot flash things that aren't signed by Samsung. SafeStrap gets around this by redirecting everything to a different data partition. Unfortunately it can only do this after the kernel loads, and since there's no way to flash a different kernel you're stuck with the stock kernel on your phone. This is important.
You can only flash ROMs that work with the stock kernel on your phone. So since you are on MF3, you can only use ROMs that are based on 4.2.2 TouchWiz. If you're on MI2 then you can flash 4.3 TouchWiz-based ROMs. So you are very limited as to what you can flash.
As for not being able to get ROMs to work, you need to make sure you have enough free space when creating a ROM slot, 4-5 GB should be plenty. You cannot share apps or data between different ROM slots so be careful with your space. You should be able to get the GPE ROM to work, I'm using it right now. So completely delete your ROM slot 1 and recreate it. Then follow the steps exactly as they are written in the thread I linked to and make sure you flash the proper module files for your phone.
If you have any other questions, let me know.

Three questions:
What stock firmware are you on?
What version of SafeStrap are you using?
What modules are you flashing afterwards?
If you could link to everything, including the ROM it would be helpful.

You need to be using SafeStrap 3.65 if you're on MF3. 3.71 is for 4.3 stock ROMs (MI2). One you do that everything should work just fine.

Make sure you disable the AT&T updater on your stock ROM just in case they try to push an update and lock your phone down.

There are two known issues with GPE, read the thread they've been talked about in depth. Also that thread is probably where this question belongs.
As you've reported this is one of the known bugs, there is no fix. The other is that you cannot see your phone's storage from a computer when connected via usb. Again there is no fix.
Please post all ROM-related questions in their respective threads.
Is there any roms released for the Galaxy s5 att? I just installed the safestrap recovery. I was hoping to flash cyanogenmod to my phone if they have a compatible rom released for my phone. And i was also wandering if i could install a rom made for the verizon phone or lets say the international version to my phone? Or does the rom have to be made specifically for the att galaxy s5? Thank you.

Yes Your Bootloader is locked
No SafeStrap did not unlock it
Yes You can flash a ROM from SafeStrap (similar to flashing any other rom)
(make sure you choose install recovery from the app first)
just reboot to recovery (through the safestrap application backup your existing rom
and flash your shinny new custom rom.

Can you do a nandroid backup of everything on your phone with safestrap?
And we can install safestrap on AT&T no problem right?
Safestrap is just a way to get a custom recovery installed. Safestrap adds a menu to the boot up process that allows you to boot into twrp recovery. You can do anything you want there, except flash kernels.

It's been a while since I've played around with my phone. I've been rooted since day 1 and run a few custom ROMS. However, obviously I'm not getting the pushed OTA. How can I get 7.0? Will I lose root? I don't mind if I have to re-root, just wondering.
Un-root your device and install the N firmware and then reboot. That way I'm sure you won't get a boot loop upon restart.

If you want to have root, and you have run custom ROMs before, why not just run a custom 7.1 ROM that already has root. YOu would just need to upgrade your bootloader and radio to the latest and flash a 7.X ROM.
