If it is a G900A, Do some research about your device, find out that the AT&T branded GS5 cannot run Cyanogenmod and then go buy a T Mobile branded phone so that you can.

The only way to MAYBE flash ROMS is still in ALPHA testing and it is not a true flash but a way to load ROMS and fake the boot system.
Currently there is no way to flash ROMS to this phone.

its Safestrap right. but can i load other roms from tmobile note 3 or international note3 that doesnt have aroma?i have tmobile.
the reason i bought a at&t note 3 is because i got it from a friend.traded my nexus 5 for it.

From what i saw in the thread about safe strap the ROMS have to be tweaked to work with safestrap so only ROMS developed around safestrap will work.. Even then it is still iffy if they will fully work.

Solarenemy68's reply seemed easy to understand to me. Are you having difficulty understanding it? In case you did not understand it...you can NOT flash ANY rom on the att N3. None. Zip. Nadda. Nothing. The bootloader is locked. Without an unlocked bootloader, you are not currently able to flash a new rom. If you do, you will brick your N3. Period.
If you want to flash new roms on a N3, you should have purchased a T-Mo N3 as that bootloader was not locked.
I hope this clarifies things for you.

Wow! Bad day at work?
We can flash roms using safe strap recovery by @Hashcode . It works fine and even gives you "multi boot" that most devices would die for!
Roms are coming already and things are getting good. International roms can be ported. T-Mobile roms run without much of a fuss.
We CANNOT flash bootloader, kernels, or modems. But with a locked bootloader this is about as good as it gets.
If your going to give someone information, at least give them correct information.

Didn't have a bad day. Didn't intend to sound rude. Your signature indicates that you have a N9005 not a N900A. If I am mistaken, please correct me. I've had a N900A since launch day and have been following the development quite closely, I thought. While the N9005 and the N900T have unlocked bootloaders, I have not seen anything other than alpha testing for the N900A, and @Hashcode has not yet released Safestrap for the N900A.
Please post some links for loading roms onto the N900A, or apologize as it is you that seems to be providing the incorrect information that can potentially damage someone's device. If you are correct about SAFELY flashing roms onto the n900A, I will post an apology to you and the OP.
Thank you.

I do indeed apologize. SS became available on the 16th and the first flashable rom became available yesterday. I missed both.
Apparently, roms are now flashable via SafeStrap. My apologies to the OP as well.

Okay. So I recently updated my Galaxy S4 Active, SGH-I537 from 4.2.2, to 4.4.2.
After doing so, I decided to take a turn, and root my device. I used the new popular method, TowelRoot.apk
I was able to successfully root my device with a breeze, then I looked up some recovery's for the device. I found this thread on the website on specifically the S4 Active. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387980
My confusion at this moment is, it seems to be everyone who updated there S4 Active is now on Samsung-SGH-I9259 but yet, I am still running on SGH-I537. My phone's version is 4.4.2, but it isn't I9259, how does one fix this issue?
SGH-I537 is the model for the US, SGH-I9259 is the European model. They are not interchangeable.

You will need SuperSU and Busybox before safestrap will install properly.

Hi everyone,
I just recently bought a galaxy s4 active which as we all know is on the att network. Im new to att, safestrap and the s4 active ..im not new to android ive been mostly on t mobiles samsung phones and network. this is the info I have on my phone currently
Android 4.4.2
Baseband 1537ucucne3
Se android status enforcing
SEPF_samsung-sgh1537_4.4.2_0011
Friday may 16 2014
Secure boot status
Type - samsung
Security software version
MDF v 1.0 Release 2
So far I rooted with towelroot and installed safestrap and made a backup of the rom thats on here already.
At this point im not sure what direction to go in? Is my bootloader locked? I know there are more current versions of firmware out there should I odin to the latest? Can we install custom kernels? I would really prefer to stay on touchwiz and would be looking for a rom somewhat stockish. So far im a little lost but im learning a little. Any help, guidance would be greatly appreciated

The bootloader on the i537 cannot be unlocked yet. Work is being looked into on the Verizon/ATT standard S4. You're on the newest firmware right now, however there was an update released today (I don't recommend flashing/installing it yet until we know how it affects us).
With the locked bootloader we cannot use custom kernels. You can however use ATT S4 rom's on it that are touchwiz and safestrap based.
I can give you more information on flashing touchwiz/safestrap (SS) rom's if you'd like, and provide links with working ones.

Soooo, here's two ROM's I know that work.
Google Edition S4 / Pure Nexus Edition
Hyperdrive 18.1
Both of those ROM's work. Follow the steps in the first posts. However, with one change. When it tells you to flash modules for your phone, use these.

I saw on YouTube s7 rom porting to s4 but I have s4 active how will I do ?
Actually @JASONRR is trying to... Well he is the only one I know that has been actively porting touchwiz ROMs here... Another option is that you can use masterpatch of him into that ROM you are saying, together with his kernel...

If you have the SGH-i537 (AT&T U.S.A. model): If the ROM in question is for the AT&T Galaxy S4 (or really any variant that isn't either Verizon or Sprint) you can always try flashing it with the masterpatch from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-active/general/golden-eye-v52-s4-active-wip-t3094259
You will have to already be on lollipop rooted. If you are on lollipop unrooted, you will have to follow the instructions in my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63639949&postcount=2
Congratulations and thanks for inadvertently volunteering to be our guinea pig. If you can link to the XDA thread for the ROM you are talking about, maybe I can give it a whirl too. That's a definite maybe though because my screen is about to go for good (my gf lost my old i537, and the one I got from my brother has a cracked screen and the LCD is dying a painful albeit trippy death).
If you have the international model GT-i9295: I would recommend using this masterpatch instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ster-patch-i9505-tw-based-lp-roms-to-t3156521 You will still have to start from lollipop rooted, but ignore my rooting instructions

I imagine you are on the latest Nougat since we can't stop the upgrade/update... Rooting was only available on older versions like 5.1.1 Lollipop.

The S4. I figure it's a better device to start with than bricking my S6 Edge. Lol. I can't free up the bootloader on the S4 though I got it rooted but bootloader isnt unlocked
