SGH-I537_ATT is up as well. downloading it now.

Please tell me this helps us in some way towards getting ROMs on this phone.

Not sure if one could make a One Click Odin from this. :fingers-crossed:

You've got to be kidding me! Wow. Just wow.

@thatbigmoose do you know if this will help anything? Or just for the future of development?

Does anyone have a config file for this kernel ? or know where I can get one ?

Been rooting and downloading mods for a while. Im eagerly awaiting for atts active to be unlocked. Does this increase the chances of having custom roms? If anyone knows input would be greatly appreciated becuase this thread is kind of dead with little else info.

Your problem is that the american ATT version of the SGS4A has a locked bootloader. The kernel source code is not going to help you there, unfortunately.

[Q] Custom Rom

Hey does anyone know if there are any custom Roms in the works for the AT&T Galaxy Note 3? Also can we use Roms from other carriers?
Thanks in advance.

No, there is only root at the moment. I believe they are trying to get the boot loader unlocked at the moment

Thanks for the reply. For some reason I couldnt find anything on it until as soon as I posted. Sorry for the stupid question. Looks like we are in the waiting game and hoping that someone can crack this thing.

designgears and chainfire are working on it. DG already tripped his knox flag, so who knows how that affects progress. But if anyone can do it, it's these guys. (Having an unnamed source inside Samsung doesn't hurt, I'm sure )

AT&T S5 Devs, do we have any?

Really curious to see if we have any Devs working on the AT&T S5 yet? If so, when do you all think we can expect to start seeing some stuff in the development threads? Obviously BL needs unlocking, if possible. Do we know of anyone working on this?
Thanks Guys!!!

Wow, you haven't read this forum much before posting, have you.
No root yet = no development yet.

I am aware there is no root. If your insinuating that there is some other thread on the subject, I am fairly certain there is not. If you mean something different entirely then would you please elaborate?

My S5 is coming in today. Locked boot loader means no development ever except for maybe some safe strap stuff much later down the road which is just rehash of stock roms. No AOSP or CM.

I personally don't really care about roms, as I like the new Touchwiz and don't want to lose some of its nice features. I would like to have root, though. Hopefully someone finds a way for that to happen soon.

Edited OP to clarify on some confusion about exactly what I was asking.

Yes indeed. I just want some debloat and maybe a cusom kernel for minor performance tweaks.

Not available for ATT version of the phone, I hope it will sometime soon, not having root sucks.

Chainfire needs to the stock recovery to build root for the device, basically auto root by chainfire modifies stock recovery temporarily, flashes su then flashes back stock firmware through odin.

You can't pull recovery without root on your device, the only thing we ATT users can do is wait for Samsung to post the firmware which they havent, SM-G900A is the ATT model number, Tmo and Sprint are already up so they already have root.

keep refreshing and hope it gets posted soon lol.

hmm

Keep in mind guys that if the ATT BL is locked chances are CF Root will fail to flash or boot even if CF builds one for ATT...also if this happens knox warranty is tripped leaving you without warranty coverage and no root...likely a new KK exploit will have to be found...hope I'm wrong about the BL as I'd like to get rid of bloat before handing the phone off to GF..

Wow this iB4STiD person has some serious thanks racked up!!! Hey iB4STiD, are you going to be working on stuff for the S5?

You better hope he is. He was one of my favorite S4 developers.

He just released some excellent roms for the M8...and they all rock.

I am all over this, there will be a Vision rom soon!:good::good:

Thanks to geohot over at towelroot.com we can all bask in the glory of absolute freedom. Until a custom recovery is confirmed we won't be flashing any ROMS so when one is found please post in this section. As well as any custom ROMS known to be compatible with the galaxy s5 g900a.

Anyone thought about SafeStrap yet? Is this a possibility?

I don't believe a custom recovery will work with a locked bootloader.

Easiest root I've ever used but now the tricky part I stayed this thread because we need a custom recovery to flash roms correct?

No one has cm12. You can tell just by going into android development and original development. There are no non-TW roms there.

Won't change without first having an unlocked bootloader and root for everybody.

Holy ****. You're not serious are you? The only S6 variants with a locked bootloader are ATT and Verizon. And the only people that don't have root are the ones running 5.1.1. Stop spreading false information!
