what exactly do you want custom rom or stock rom? to know what you have go to setting/about phone but if your asking this many questions you shouldnt mess with it have your bro do if you brick your phone bad stuff you need to flash a recovery via odin then use odin to flash a custom rom

I just can't understand it..
I've already downloaded the file.. what I got is I8150DXLA2_I8150OLBKL1_I8150DXKL1_HOME.tar.md5
What should I do with it??
I found out that flashing with odin should have at least 3 file (something like that)
can someone help me??

Put Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip on your phone.
Push recovery to your phone via Odin
Boot back into recovery
Flash Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip.
Done.

NP. Also, I should have said this in my first reply, you'll need Odin 1.85.

[Q] Custom recovery possible on stock 4.4?

I feel like everyone who asks this question gets ignored. and ive searched high and low on xda and cant find a plain and simple answer or method... i have an E980 freshly rooted on android 4.4.2 . my first time rooting this phone. At&T. cant find a legit method to add twmp or cwm. every method i try just boots into stock recovery with the E:missing bitmap in red at the bottom along with other errors.
im sure i cant be the only one with this problem.. im sure theres a way... right? i just want a custom rom already :/

There's a search function for a reason and the devs on here don't have time to just hold your hand and walk you through everything you have to be willing to help yourself and learn how to do things on your own and then if you have a problem or run into trouble then ask for assistance but don't ask to have your hand held through it all.. Learn about what Odin is and stock roms And a few other things in order to accomplish a downgrade..

The search function doesn't tell me what you tried to do.. I already wrote a tutorial on how to downgrade successfully. Since I don't know what you've tried so far there's nothing I can do right now to help you.

Here you go.. Make sure you substitute the Verizon firmware for the AT&T firmware as @TechNyne66 said, the OGG firmware.. As long as it's firmware from AT&T you should be good to go.. However if it still errors out and doesn't work that means they (AT&T) have blocked it and you'll have to enter into recovery and select full system restore in order to fix it and get it back to where it is right now.. I'd first make a backup if I were you!!

Use PB2 ODIN file. It's the best 5.1.1 firmware.
I did it using only ap and csc files
So it worked for you?

If you are past the the PH4 update this is not the thread for you.
If you are still on PH4, stop trying to downgrade your bootloader, unless you are flashing a Binary 3 bootloader.
All of this has been explained within this forum. Check my profile and go to my posts. I've already wrote it all up two or three times...
