Will we get a recovery that can flash ASOP ROMS?

I know we have Safestrap, and I am very thankful for that. However, I was wondering if we will ever be able to get the recovery's I remember from the Galaxy Nexus, and the EVO?
...or is the Galaxy S5 doomed to never be able to unlock the bootloader? I'll stick with the phone, it's a beast....I'll just be sad if we'd never be able to flash all kinds of custom ROMS.

We can flash custom roms.

Custom roms are making their way to the s5 and the s5 active. For recovery you want to go with safestrap. As far as the bootloader goes it's up to a highly skilled individual to get this to us cause I doubt AT&T or Verizon is gonna get off their duff and do us justice.
All that aside I really enjoy the phone. right now I'm on stock awaiting the next release of koolkit rom for the s5 active. There is however a bounty for the unlocking of our bootloaders for both AT&T and Verizon. I do believe it is around $8,000 for AT&T and $9,000 for Verizon(not exact numbers just estimates). Hopefully we will see it happen till then enjoy your phone.:thumbup:

AOSP Roms? NO is not going to happen. We only have 'Safestrap' and the only thing we can flash are TW Roms since we can not touch the Kernel due to the locked bootloader.
Honestly I'm almost 100% sure the bootloader is not going the get unlocked ever. So if you like AOSP you will need to swap your AT&T S5 for an international version or TMO version.

Ok. Good to know. One question, is it possible to mod the stock kernel for uv/oc or does the encryption process hinder this?

Galaxy S5 Device Nickname?

Hey people, so I just ditched my galaxy s3 for an s5. I noticed a few things.
1. There are no AOSP based ROM'S for the Galaxy S5
2. There isn't a device nickname, my galaxy s3 was d2att what is this one called?
3. This phone is easy to root since June 2014 so why such low development?

Thanks for the device ID
Wow locked bootloader? People can still root the phone though. Do you think anyone will ever manage to find a workaround?

Wrong section but whatevs.
1) correct.
2) the nickname is AT&T Galaxy S5
3) Such low development because there's only so much you can do with a device with a locked bootloader. Only ROMs using then stock kernel, which only Touchwiz ROMs can use. AOSP and such require a different kernel, which cannot be flashed with the locked bootloader.

Thanks, I guess I am okay with touchwiz for now. Samsung usually slow down when they update the OS. I'm thinking I will want to root when they update to 4.4.4 or L.

If you think you might want to root "ever", you may want to do it now. The latest OTA kills root and ther is no fix yet.

Downgrade flash via Odin to the stock image will allow root and safestrap recovery....
No worries getting back to a rooted device if needed....g

I highly doubt they will keep the bootloaders locked when the 1 year warranty is up.
Looks like petitions for unlocking the AT&T variant are just two votes away from actually getting noticed by AT&T.
I doubt they will budge though. The hacking bounty will get it done.

In need of a little guidance

So today I went out and got me a Note T-mobile Note 4 off CL. The jackhole I bought it from forgot to mention the phone was modded but anyways that's Craigslist right? [emoji16] so I went and tried to factory reset which took me to a screen I believe is a custom recovery but want to verify. There was no SU or any root apps installed. Since I was going to mod phone anyway I'm not too worried but would like an Idea of what should do as far as updating/changing since I'm new to Samsung forums. Attached pic of recovery and my about phone. Any help much appreciated!

Is that cwm? Don't recognize it. Since you are on DOK2, grab it from sammobile and use Odin to flash it. Will give you a completely fresh start.

It's definitely modded since seandroid is permissive. That recovery though seems to be the stock one of build DOK2.

Perfect I was trying to figure out if that was the stock recovery so I would know where to start. I was also confused because it looks like CWM but I'm going to end up jus flashing full DOK2 .tar and start all over. Thank you both!

Yeah that looks like cmw and AEL is a custom kernel I believe.

This is what me2151 answered to my question if the N9500 is supported or not and it is not supported and no plans to support it. Only US based Qualcomm devices are supported by SamFAIL root method.

It's possible. I unlocked my BL with this file. Currently waiting for people to make 3rd party roms for it.

Download and install. It will prompt you if you wish to unlock BL
Edit: TWRP is available too. Just that in Chinese. Might be able to change to English.
