So, I haven't been in the custom rom world since the S5 and the advent of Xposed. So I could keep my phone completely stock. I've been looking for deodexed version of 5.1.1 so I could download xposed on my S6, which I have been dying without for months. But to my surprise, all of the deodexed roms are for custom recoveries that trip knox, and I'm still trying to preserve mines. Is that a deodexed version of stock 5.1.1 as an odin file anywhere? Or is there a method to make it.
Thanks in advance.
Second this request; if anyone can at least point me to the correct way to deodex a stock ODIN ROM, that would be very helpful too. Thanks.

So I had to reflash my custom rom (UrDroid Deodex) in an attempt to get ISIS / Softcard to work. As I was looking at the roms, I almost downloaded the NC2 version of FireKat before I read not to install it unless coming from Stock NC2. Anyway -- could I flash a NC2 rom?
I used to love UrDroid since it was perfect for me, but ever since I reflashed it, the Home Button isn't working (it works for screenshots, task manager, SVoice, etc. but I can't single click it and expect to be taken to my homepage). I'm interested in trying out FireKat. My OS firmware is 4.4.2
Thanks!
You need to Odin stock NC2, you should be able to find it in the all in one thread. Then root, install ss and then you should be able to flash FK. On FK myself and it's definitely great.

Ahh thanks ... it's been a while since I've done this.
I was looking at the Odin stock NC2 and among the various files to download, I saw this one:
All-in-One N900AUCUCNC2_N900AATTCNC2_N900AUCUCNC2_HOME.tar.md 5
(link to thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703006)
I understand the AP, BL, CP, CSC (these are the important ones for Odin), but what's the all in one supposed to be about?
The all in one is to flash with just one file instead of the four.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 AT&T OA1 (G900A) and I cannot get the phone to take a custom rom flash. First I downgrade to NCE using ODIN 3.09, check install from unknown sources, then I install towelroot and successfully root the phone. Install SuperSU and update the binary, reboot, install Busybox. Shut down and go back into download mode and use ODIN to flash the OA1 kernel. I then install either flashfire or SafeStrap and then instruct them to wipe the phone other than internal memory and flash the rom zip. I have tried several roms and everytime I get back to the same thing... the default recovery screen with a dead android.
Any suggestions or ideas what I am doing wrong?

After downgrading to nce and rooting there is no need to update the kernel back to OA1 as all the kitkat roms are based off the nce build. Our you can root then upgrade to lollipop using this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3076803 as the devs for the s5 roms have moved to 5.0.

I have tried to do the flash several times without going back to the OA1 kernel too, but I thought that may have been the issue. I figured out quickly it wasn't.
One thing I may have been missing is that I am trying to flash lollipop roms. Is that my problem? Do I need to be flashing a KitKat rom unless I flash the rom to linked to in your post? How do I get a lollipop rom flashed if that's the issue?

You can't flash lollipop roms unless your already on lollipop. You'll have to stick with kitkat roms unless you upgrade using the method in the link that i posted. Once you upgrade to lollipop using that method you'll be able to flash lollipop roms.

Got it. Tried it out and finally was able to get a Lollipop custom rom to flash.
Thanks for your help!

Good deal. Which one did you go with. I've ran alliance, twi5ted, and TMS 2.0. I personally like TMS best. Seems like it runs smother for me.

I went with TMS 2.0, but I was hoping to get a Cyanogenmod based rom installed. I have tried several times to install the Fusion rom using FlashFire, but each time I get an unmount failed notice and have to go back to NCE.
What do you like about TMS?

First off you can't flash cyanogenmod cause of the locked bootloader. We have to stick with TW base roms. I like the stability about TMS2.0 plus the fact that the dev is still working on it. Most all the other devs have went to other phones. TalkingMonkeys is a great dev and is constantly working on mods and features.

I've created a modified framework.jar that simply disables the high-volume warning and I thought I'd share it in case anyone else wanted it. This is for people that want to disable this damn annoying "feature," but don't want other features of custom roms. Modified from the OCF T-Mobile firmware. Tested on T-Mobile S6 (920T) running Deodexed, Debloated stock. May or may not work on other versions.
Requires: Root, Deodexed ROM
To install:
Backup and delete your framework.jar from /system/framework/framework.jar
Copy the framework.jar from this post into /system/framework/framework.jar
chmod it to 644
Restart and wait for all the Optimizing...
If there are problems, simply restore your backed up framework.jar (which you backed up because you followed the instructions, right?)
If there's enough demand/If I have time, I can create a flashable zip.
Once again, YMMV.
Thanks. How do I find out if rom is deodexed? I'm on clean rom lite.

Check the OP for your ROM thread. Or check to see if there are .odex files in the /system/app/xxx/ folders.
Now we just need to figure this out for odexed ROMs.
Is this gonna work on Stock Rooted 5.0.2 - S6 - 920I ?
Unfortunately no, i've tried it on Stock Rooted 5.0.2 - S6 - 920F, it doesn't work. I think, the same on 920I
Doesn't work on my Galaxy Note 4 N9100.
Stock Rom 5.1.1 rooted..... Odexed .. that why but I tried

I rooted with towel root NC2 and safe strap and was using some roms like firekat and firenote but they didnt change the kernel. Recently I downloaded one of the lollipop alliance roms and installed on the stock slot and it changed my kernel to OC1. Now safe strap doesn't work and I want to go back to where I was before. I wouldn't mind going to a lollipop rom that is rooted. Or just plain stock rom that is rooted. I need help since there is so many different tutorials and methods and things to download. I'm newer on the rooting and such, so any help is appreciated. I am able to use the phone still it just doesn't cycle thru safe strap on the boot like it did before and sometimes it won't even boot up it just freezes and I have to factory reset to get it back. So I quit restarting. I'm limping on one leg so to speak. I assume I have installed something wrong and I just want guidance towards something rooted and stockish. Link me a tutorial or something or just give it to me straight. I have better than average skills in this but I mainly follow guides of some kind. So keep it as simple as possible. Thanks

Safestrap doesn't work with kernels newer than NC2, so in order for safestrap to work, you can do either of the following things-
1. The simpler way (do this if after getting safestrap to work again, you want to install a pre-rooted stock OC1 ROM) : Install the apk NC2flasher. It'll flash the NC2 kernel and then when you reboot, you'll get access to safestrap once again. Download it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3452253&d=1440595672. Before installing the apk, download the pre-rooted OC1 stock rom from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934549604 and place it on your device storage/extSD card. After rebooting into safestrap, factory reset and flash the zip and you're good to go!
2. The more intensive way (do this if you want to rollback to NC2 stock completely):
Download odin from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711451
Download the stock odin flashable NC2 files from here: https://mega.nz/#F!wg5wRQrQ!vR7a6pze9dgSWjbaRSyhWA
Warning: These are data_wipe tars, so take complete backup since the internal memory of the device will be erased completely (backup to PC/cloud/extSD card)
Put your phone in the download mode; it can be done through pressing the volume down and home button simultaneously while powering up the phone.
You'll notice that the 2 starting characters of the files (BL,AP,CP and CSC) are the same as the options found in Odin. Keeping the default checkboxes on the left side as they are, load the files in Odin as they match with their downloaded counterparts (ie. BL in BL, CP in CP, CSC in CSC and AP in AP) and flash it.
You're done!
Awesome thank you
Hi. I've searched the forums for 2 days now, and can't find any solutions to my issue.
I have had stock rooted OC4 (Lollipop 5.0) from the FlashFire method for months now. Tried "unrooting" with SuperSU, rebooted, and now I am soft bricked. Looks like I am still rooted though.
When I try flashing a stock rom with odin I get the message "fused 4 > binary 3". I think this means the rom I'm trying to flash (G900AUCU3BOC4-OneClick) is below the version I currently have. I currently DO have OC4 though, so I don't understand. Is there a newer stock rom version around? Has somebody made a OneClick or other Odin flashable rom for AT&T S5 versions later than 5.0? Can somebody make one?
Or if anyone has another solution to help restore my phone to stock that would be great!
I seem to have the same issue as you, if you or anyone figure out something please share!
I have the exact same issue. I have tried everything from flashing using Odin, to sideloading the stock firmware, but nothing works!!!!
