[Q] Failed updates

I need some help. I have a revolution with 2.2.2 still on the phone. due to being a noob I tried to install a gingerbread version of a rom on the phone of course It didn't seem to work. by the way i should mention I am rooted and I can not upgrade veia the phone upgrade failed every time. However in the research I have done has lead me to believe that all of the roms I want to try to get a hold of are on a non existence web sight Right now I just need anything that will get my phone back up and running. I would very much like to use the revolt Rom but again the multiupload.com is down. Can anyone help me with this. I have searched the sight but I seem to be going around in a circle.
Ok so thank you for helping me out, however, being as I am slow to understand things. I figured things out. and just so everyone else doesn't feel bad. I have no problem with people laughing at me
this may help...

im currently dabblin with this one since my phone is still runnin 2.2.2 as well, reverted to stock rom unrooted everything and no ota updates so this is how to do it manually.
as long as its not currently bricked otherwise u have to do it the long way. i think, unless im thinkin of my old droid... but if this doesnt help give more info and someone will be able to help
regarding OTA, does anyone know the name of the file, and what folder in which to find it? Tired of having to DL it aGAIN every time whatever I try fails. I'm guessing cache....nothing seems real obvious, like it was on my Bionic
(update, got update to complete 2nd try, MtMichaelson is slightly richer!)

[Q] Help with the SGH-T599N

Hi, I just got a Samsung Galaxy Exhibit SHG-T599N. I have successfully rooted the phone. Well, I think I did. All junk apps that I want to trash has the Disable or uninstall button greyed out. I didn't have that problem with my other rooted phones so I'm not sure if its truly rooted. Titanium Backup is running and says it's rooted. Did I screw up somewhere or is that how it is? Also I would like to install a custom ROM. Was thinking about PAC ROM. Does anyone know which version will work or have any recommendations? Thanks and have fun.
PS I'm not sure if this is the right thread since I couldn't find one for my phone.

[Q] What a hell did I just buy ?

Oh boy I really hope I am just too tired to look and info I've got so far is incorrect. My i337 Got stolen today and I managed to get Galaxy S 4 Active from ATT i537. I looked up only 1 thing before I did because only system I can use is CM11, I mean stock Samsung makes me uneasy if I am on it for more then 15 seconds. Sounds, UI, just feel and look, totally garbage. So now I see that bootloader is locked AND there is no solution to unlock it. Only then we can install some kind of Dual boot thing ? I really hope this is not true. Can I just get rid of everything Samsung and stock and get CM11 ? I don't want to waste space with stock as "not used" system.
Please let me know because like I said I had really bad day with two thugs stealing my phone, spend money on new one and now this. I just rooted it and was thinking like always I get Rom Manager and from there I install recovery ..... but phone is not listed .... I am freaking out a bit right about now. Please let me know if possible on where to start getting custom recovery cause ODIN + tar recovery files gave me magic error or something like that just now.
Thank you guys !
UPDATE: Couldn't sleep.
So I have my new phone rooted with "towel", I install Safestrap and backed up my current ROM (I am on NE3) I see now reason why this dual system needed and stuff. I mean too bad Samsung locking bootloaders and oh well. I have only 2 questions. 1 can I just install latest build from https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=jactivelte in to rom SLOT-1 and use it or no. And how much space I can allow for my current ROM and CM I mean I am not planning to have anything on stock so I don't need space at same time I cant make it that when I do want to go on stock I'd have a problem with running it because of not enough space.
Thank you guys once again. I mean If you know few lines ..that's all I am asking. Cause I do see some pros and cons but .. I need straight up answer. Thanks !

You cannot install CM. Since you have a locked bootloader, it is not possible to install any custom kernels, so ROMs that require a custom kernel (CM, AOSP, or any ROM based off those) will not work. Using SafeStrap you can flash TouchWiz-based ROMs since they can use you stock kernel.
Look in the AT&T S4 forums for ROMs that say they are compatible with SafeStrap, you should be able to use most of those. Since they are meant fir a different phone you'll have to flash the MasterPatch afterwards. A lot of people seen to like the Hyperdrive ROM.

Got it. Thanks. I remember back in a day I've been using "theme" that allowed me to have Google stock feel u guess I need to look in this but for now I guess I'll just remove what I can and will suffer until Nexus 6 is in stock and I can afford it. Love that phone. Also I see 5.0 will be out for active next year so it's not that bad. Meanwhile should I do Ota update to latest stock firmware ?

If you want, you can still root the latest firmware so you have nothing to lose.

n910t used all ready rooted with cf got some questions

ok i bought a used note 4 as its my favorite phone to date i broke my old one over new years.
When i got it it was all ready rooted with tw recovery and had a version of maximum over drive installed and i belive beast mode kernel.
So i installed my universal sim chip from cricket got all excited and blam nothing.. so i was like ok wtf.. did some research for the last 2 days straight and i got every thing to work except being able to make a phone call lol.. so i flashed a new kernel.. yea my mistake.. flying blind playing the guessing game to get to where i was i figured the heck ..
So my phone would not boot past the first splash screen.. then i remembered the beast mode kernel i saw in about phone details.. found one and flashed it .. now im stuck at the second splash screen of samsung ..
i can get into recovery. i can use odin. but the phone wont boot the os..
so.. from start to finish.. what do i need to start over with to have a working phone.. sim unlock is taken care of now i just need to get back to basics.. please for simplicity sake list what i need from step 1 to what ever to get the phone back up and running..
maybe im just to tired and not thinking clearly..
thanks
never mind i figured out all of my mistakes..
so phones working.. just not calls and messaging or data
dang seems no one views these threads any more lol..
Ok so i have data working.. but still can not make or receive calls..
any ideas? OR ANY ONE HAVE A SURE FIRE SET UP THAT WILL WORK WITH A N910T ON CRICKET?
HERE IS WHAT IM CURRENTLY USING:
baseband: N910TUVU2EPJ2
KERNEL: 3.10.94-EMOTION-TW-NIGHTLY-R23
BUILD NUMBER: MAXIMUM_OVERDRIVE ROM VER 7.0
ANDROID 5.1.1
dang i dont want to create a double thread but i might have to ..this section is dead.
I would recommend going back to stock. If your phone is truly unlocked, it won't matter if you flash the original T-Mobile N910T stock ROM. Then, I suggest using a newer custom ROM, I think Emotion is a bit outdated, but I'm not sure

^^^ what he said.
Install latest stock rom and then try custom rom etc..
ShaDisNX: What rom you currently using on N910T? stable?

Austra S8, yeah it's stable. I've tested Norma and Apocalipse and they're also great
