I can't seem to find out how to fix this problem. and was wondering if someone was able to help me. I updated to stock lollipop and changed roms to DomPop 2.2.3 and wanted to flash a different lollipop rom, but ss wont boot anymore once I use the NC2 flasher app. It just boots to a black screen, and wont do anything else. I have try using Odin and flashing the NC2 kernel that way, but it doesn't help. Once I reboot the phone in download mode I can flash back to OC1 no problem and use the current installed rom, but can't get ss to work. I have uninstalled busybox and ss a couple times, and it gives me the same thing. Would Flashfire be an easier alternative? Otherwise, would I use odin to flash a different rom/files, and get ss working that way?
I would just Odin back to NC2 and use @walterwhite's lollipop rooted Rom just make sure you install Supersu, busybox, an SafeStrap before upgrading to his lollipop an you should be goldin'..

if your already on rooted lollipop be patient..............if you have had problems downgrade to 4.4.2.....THIS IS ONLY IF YOUR ON ROOTED LOLLIPOP NOT IF YOU TOOK OTA TO 5.0
STEP 1.....ON 4.4.2 instal towel root , busybox , safestrap, root your phone with towel root........install busybox......install safestrap................
step2.... reboot to ss.......on stock slot wipe everything but storage......use muniz way to restore backup rooted lollipop.....after restore boot into download mode install oc4 kernal through odin in ap slot........reboot.......
step 3........your now on 5.0.........install nce apk.....thats it nothing else.........flash then reboot...........this will take you to safstrap.......in stock slot wipe everything but storage......install whatever rom your wanting to use............then install the updated flashible oc4 kernal also in ss.............
step 4......reboot then wait, wait,,,,wait.........wait.... it takes a long time so be patient...........your done....
tip: i did not use flashfire for anything but after your running custom rom you can use it for backups and restore on your custom rom
If we're already on rooted lollipop using the method below, does that mean we start at step #3? And if so, what ROMs are compatible to use?

Ok finally got it working and booted to Twisted v4.0 But I have No root when I use Root checker. And when I try to use Viper app, it says it cannot acquire root permission
Edit, after about 5 hours, I have a Infinite Boot Loop. Just boots restarts boots restarts, boots etc...... Are you having this problem?
I read somewhere that ff isn't able to do backups and restores. Is this true? What is the proper way to backup a rom you're using? Thank you for any help.
Hello, I'm terribly sorry if this is the incorrect place to put this; but I'm desperate. I flashed hyperdrive on my galaxy s4 active NH3, and it booted the rom before I could flash the master patch, and the su update zips. So now im stuck with an unrootable nh3 galaxy s4 active that runs hyperdrive rom fine, but my wifi doesn't work, and I can't get into safestrap to flash the modules, because I can't root to install safestrap. Someone please help me, I can't reinstall my stock rom with Odin right now because my computer isn't working. Please help and thank you so much
The safe strap splash screen doesn't show up at boot? A safe strap ROM should not uninstall safe strap iirc.
Just because the app isn't in your app drawer, doesn't necessarily mean safe strap is gone. Reboot and check if it's still there, it should be.
The splash screen doent come up at all. It just says "samsung galaxy s4 active" and where the ss screen should come up, it automatically boots into the rom, displaying the rom boot animation and booting into the rom

Every single solution I can think of either requires root (lol hardly a solution, huh?) or consists of, "Odin back to stock." Are you able to use Odin at all?
Even if you don't want to Odin back to stock NE3, I think the W0lfdroid method should still be able to root your phone while on hyperdrive, just like on stock NH3. I.e. flash the root kernel to your phone via Odin, boot and run towelroot, Odin flash the NH3 kernel, boot and install/run superSU.
I'm inclined to think that method will still work because for any rom to work on the i537, it automatically has to be compatible with our stock kernel.

Thank you, ill try that method. I wont be able to get my computer fixed until the weekend so im suck with no wifi or camera until then. Im still very confused as to why it did all of this. When I flashed the rom in ss, the aroma installer launched, and at the end I pressed next and it froze, so I had to take my battery out a place it back in. When I rebooted I expected to see the ss splachscreen so I could proceed to flash the masterpatch and the camera and wifi fix but it just booted right into the rom boot animation and then loads the rom. It continues to do this, so I have no safestrap now. However I do have the safestrap apk saved on my sd card along with the towlroot apk incase I ever lose root while flashing a rom and my wifi doesn't work such as the fist time I flashed hyperdrive with my NE3.
Anyways thanks a bundle
Classic case of bootlooping.
Recently used Flashfire to install rooted stock version of Lollipop 5.0. After trying to reinstall X-posed framework by flashing through flashfire, phone became bootlooped at At&t logo, remaining bricked after factory reseting and clearing cache.
Used odin to try and downgrade back to a stable version of 4.4 kickat. However, phone now bootloops after shuddering at samsung logo, before blipping to black screen with blue indicator light permently on. Trying to install current version of OTA rom through default recovery made no change. Suspecting bootloader my be root of issue, as trying to flash stock version of 4.4 bootloader in odin fails.
Currently looking for options to simple get phone back complete factor reset at this point. Links to other threads that have already solved this problem welcome.

If you installed the 5.0 rooted then I'm guessing you seen this thread. If you have the s5 then scroll down to the notes section and flash the nce downgrade file in odin. That'll put you back to stock.

What section of Odin do you flash it in? Like AP, CSC...?

Flash in odin 3.09 in the ap slot
Don't flash this file if you took the ota to 5.0 or if the phone came with 5.0 on it. You will brick the phone.
I tried what I was advised here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...pgrading-stubborn-software-t3228423?nocache=1
I can successfully flash it but Kit Kat still boots up every time. I don't know what to do. Maybe twrp? How do I do that.
May also be relevant that I cannot seem to boot into recovery to do the fixes after I flash. 4.4.2 stil comes up.
Cheers!
You could just use Odin to go back to stock, always worked for me. The only reason I could think that you could have problems is that you have a custom rom already that changes your build and model.

If you need to install stock rom you need to make sure build number is N900AUCUCNC2 and then use odin to install .
If you need to install root rom install Towelroot from play store and make sure wifi or data network is on during root then install SuperSU
BusyBox (open BusyBox and install from inside ), "Safestrap-HLTEATT-NC2-3.75-B03" recovery from fourm put your prerooted rom in sd card open Safestrap and boot to recovery you will be able to install rooted rom from there .
My S5 is stuck on bootloop at the ATT logo. I tried to flash stock OC4 partitions which passed. I then tried to clear cache and reset to factory which didn't return any errors. I tried many fixes listed here on the site to no avail. The only other thing I can think of is to try and flash the 5.0 OC4 firmware which I cannot find in a tar.md5 file anywhere wih a working link. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I'm in a similar situation. I did something to the build prop file trying to get viper4android to work. Now I'm stuck at the first screen showing the custom unlock icon etc.....
I have two flashfire backups and twrp installed. How the hell do I boot my flashfire backup? My phone is on 5.0 rooted of course. or was lol
I miss safestrap....
I was able to use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...w-to-unbrick-flash-to-stocknce-g900a-t3077652 to get my phone back up. I was on lollipop 5.0 oc2 deodexed rooted rom Muniz_ri made. You can't use this because you're using oc4, but others may.
I was able to use towelroot (after the above flash I was on kk 4.4.2) to root. redown busybox, sd card fix, root checker, and supersu and update binaries. Reinstalled flashfire and restored my lasted backup before I biffed the phone. Just finishing up now, pretty confident it will work again.
