[Q] Most Stable/Favorite Stock AT&T S4 Active ROM? - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Everyone,
Just a quick poll...
What's the Most Stable/Favorite Stock AT&T S4 Active ROM?
I'm currently on 4.2.2 MF1 and wondering if I should go ahead and upgrade to 4.4.2?
Reason why I hesitate upgrading is since the bootloader is locked, once I upgrade, I can't go back...
I'm sure there are other users curious about this question as well..
Thanks again in advance for your input

This is SM-9005 or SM-900A?

Hi.
I have a problem to identify my phone.
I was bought it few days ago, and I don't know what model it's it.
Screenshots below.
Under battery it's says that this is a SM-9005 model, but under back cover it's says that this is a SM-900A model. In download mode it's a SM-900A model.
It is a SM-N900A.. Not sure why it would say N9005 under the battery tho.. The NC2 Bootloader belongs to At&t.. You are aware that your phone has a custom Rom on it right? The Rom on your phone has is one from the International Note 3.. You can easily revert it back to stock AT&T firmware .. Seeing you have the NC2 Bootloader you can not put any Firmware below Kitkat 4.4.2 witch I believe is what is on your phone right now.. You can also upgrade to 4.4.4 Kitkat or Lollipop 5.0.. At&t Note 3 has a locked Bootloader so be careful not to flash any Rom that is not TouchWiz base or custom Kernels, Meaning true AOSP roms like CM, Slim, Paranoid Android, Pacman an so on will not work an will more than likely harm your phone.. Hope this helps..

I want the international wersion. I don't like this 4g icon. Can I easy change it? Maybe it's a custom stock rom from N9005 without at&t apps and other bloatware? I really like stock touchwiz here but it's so many apps that I will don't use it never...what can I do now? Thanks for reply
Yes you can install another international as long as it is TouchWiz. So let's find out what kinda Rom you are looking for? Do you want to stay with Kitkat Roms or are you looking to upgrade to Lollipop? And another question, Are you familiar with Safestrap recovery? After you let me know I will get you links to a great Rom an easy to follow instructions for installation..
I'm having the same thing too. I got the device in the UK but it's an AT&T model.
I've got Safestrap on my device already and is looking to install Lollipop on it. How do you suggest I do that? I really like Knox security from Samsung but it is a pain to install ROM now. And I want to install a stock Lollipop on it if possible.
Thanks in advanced.

You are a life saver. I also have the same issue as mlekopan16. I bought my device in UAE online. Reading your post I am assuming my device is also 900A. I am also attaching screenshots from my device. Request you to have a look. I was able to install safestrap on my device and it is working fine now. I want to use custom lollipop roms on my device but dont know what does a locked bootloader mean. My question is can I install custom lollipop rom and can I still use it with any other network or it can only be used with AT&T? Please advice.
note 3 upgrade n9005 which is actually n900A

hello
i am having the same problem how do I upgrade my 4.2.2 kitkat phone which shows n9005 in android and n900a in download mode to 5.0 lollipop. i wish to do an update without locking the carrier
If the phone in download says it is an n900a, it is a AT&T Note 3 sm-n900a with a locked bootloader.
You will need to look here to upgrade to 5.0:https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703006

How to install Stock on S5 Active (G900A)?

Hello Guys,
the story is: i've just bought Galaxy S5 Active with some custom ROM installed (TMS5), rooted.
the version is 5.0: the kies is showing info like: G900FXXU1BOC7/G900AATT3BOC4/G870AUCU1BOC5/G900FXXU1BOC7 (ATT)
the problem: i'd really like to have stock firmware on this one? Can You please tell me what are the options for me?
Thanks,
Jazzhoo
Update:
Guys, for anyone that is thinking about unrooting or installing the newest software through OTA.. i'll give You an advice.. don't!
some time has passed since i bought S5A with TMS5 3.0 custom soft, i wanted to unroot and install stock. thankfully i've found no way to do so.
i'm really happy to have root/custom so i can personalize my phone as i want! and i don't need to use crappy unrooted stock!
peace guys!

Got your solution, i am also having the same problem, and i use At&t , please can you help if you got your solution.
Follow step 1 of OP ( downloading and flashing build PA2 with Odin) that should give fairly recent build of lollipop.
