You need to do some searching and reading to understand how SafeStrap works and what ROMs are compatible with it. You can use any of the regular S4 ROMs (ATT or Verizon) that are compatible with your kernel, that's why you don't see any ROMs for the i537 in the development section. Luckily this phone is very flexible when it comes to ROMs so you actually have a bunch of choices depending on your kernel.

Any 4.4.2 TouchWiz-based ROM. They're all slightly different, so you're just going to have to test them out and figure out which one you like best.
Could u point me in the direction of these roms.. I did a search and came up with nothing

I'm on my phone so I can't link to the forums, but just go to the ATT or Verizon S4 development forum and start looking for TouchWiz-based ROMs.

Depending on the firmware version, ExynosAbuse should do the trick (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050297).

Do a little more search then just asking laying on your back.
Anyway look for threads in the development section.. there is a few topics that would help you. The titles are self explainatory.
A little digging is good.. then you will learn in deapth and perhaps solv a few things your selfe.
Good luck

Sorry.. dont want to be rude.
But if you read a little more in the forum you will ensure you dont destroy your phone soon.
The easy way then:
1: Buy mobile odin from play or find the creators xda thread and download for free
2: Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914394
Download I9305_CWM_Recovery.tar.md5 to your phone.
3: run mobile odin from your phone.
In mobile odin, scroll down a bit and chose "Open file..." choose the sdcard you downloaded the file to. Now brows to the prev. downloaded file I9305_CWM_Recovery.tar.md5 and run. Dont check any boxes.
Done
But if you want to understand the deapth of the dangers you could encounter and prevent , check this thread from xda:

You can get mobile odin and flash either cwm, philz or twrp recovery with it. Just make sure you download the .tar file. Once that's done you will have a recovery you can flash zips in

You can't flash ROMS on the ATT Note 3 yet. There is safe strap that is still in Alpha testing and is not yet 100% working. It however is not a true root and eats up a large amount of internal memory where the image file of the ROM is stored. There is a thread on Safestrap and how it works. Use it at your own risk. Outside of that it is IMPOSSIBLE to flash an ATT Note 3 right now..

The issue is that even with safe strap you can't flash any ROM. The ROM first has to be tailored to work with and around safe strap since it is not truly a ROM but a bootloader bypass and works a little differently. So until developers either jump on board and tweak ROMS to work with safestrap or they wait till the bootloader is unlocked, there are no ROMS right now to flash..

Incorrect. There are 3 roms that I have flashed myself. One based on mj5 and 2 based off xnote7. All 3 flashed to the stock slot with safestrap. Check the development thread and you will see.

I said you could not flash them reliably and have them 100% functional. There is still testing being conducted on all the ROMS claimed to work and no one has confirmed 100% functionality with all apps and hardware. So they are still not certified reliable like a real flash would be..
If you have tested the three you have used 100% on both hardware and apps then you need to get in there and say so because they are looking for 100% proof of function confirmation..
Not going to argue semantics with you.
I will say that I have flashed to rom slots 1 thru 4 and the stock slot and restored backups to them all with no issues. And am currently running the ported xnote7 with no issues at all. So yes, roms can be installed to AT&T Note3 phones.

Have you been actively participating in the development of this phone? I've been doing this for years and I'll be honest. 99% of custom rooms do not run 100% perfect or functional. That being said, instead of telling everyone we can't flash ROMS. Why not tell them what we do have and let him decide if it is what He is looking for.

Just to be clear, this is the forum for the S4 Active which is a different phone than the regular S4. That said, it really depends on which version of the S4 Active you have:
If you have the AT&T version (i537), then you can root, but you cannot install custom recovery due to a locked bootloader (stupid AT&T). You can still install custom ROMs using SafeStrap, but you are limited to TouchWiz based ROMs.
If you have the International version (i9295), then you can root and install custom recovery (the bootloader is unlocked), so you can pretty much install whatever you want.
I hope this helps, check out the Development section of this forum for more information.

It would not turn it into an international version for sure. I'm about 90% sure it would brick. If you decide to do it anyway, I'm not knowledgeable on brick recovery, search the forums for that.

The N900A has a locked bootloader and cannot be flashed period. There is currently no way to flash it. There is safestrap that lets you use an alternate ROM but the kernel will still be the same. There is no way to flash the N900A right now. If you do try to flash it, you will brick it for good.
I was going to flash via the tar file via odin not safe strap but we'll see how it goes tomorrow

Quick question. Since drake got banned and I can't ask questions on the thread I have 2 questions. 1. Is there a fix for nfc/sbeam and auto rotation and 2. Is there anybody skilled enough to port Bobcats Rom (with his blessings of course). It would be much appreciated if this rom got its long overdue update.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
I know drake was the man at porting roms from the International note 3 but it seems he has abandoned all of his ports and none are up to date. Is there anyone willing to port some of the great roms out there? It seems like our choices of roms are limited. I would love to see the new X-Note and BobCat roms as well as a few more. <br />

Although I know this is possible I had a VERY bad experience trying to flash other varient roms on my previous att note 2 and I jacked it up (and I'm def not a noob at flashing). In the end I couldnt even make phone calls because I think with all that flashing of modems and baseband it corrupted the radio and even stock odin flashing could not fix it. It took me 4 months before I gave up and sold it and I just got this one a few months ago. I dont plan going through that nightmare again lol. Only official ports or roms that are specifically for the sm-n900a for me buddy but thanks for the reference.
