New here Looking for guidance on rooting and stable roms
Rooting?
CF-Auto Root. Sprints NIE works on KK NK2 and LP OB7.
TWRP2 for recovery. Search TRLTE and choose Sprint version.
Stable ROMs. Check android dev section. As stable as any of them can get, its all up to the users on how they use their device.

Absolutely yes. If you flash a stock touchwiz rom then all original apps & features work just like original out of the box. If you flash a custom Cyanogen mod rom or other AOSP rom, then expect issues as these type of roms do not include all of the original samsung features, apps, etc. I'm assuming you want to remain on the stock Sprint Samsung rom so visit this thread and flash one of those stock roms first. But before you begin, you will need to read up on how to root your phone and flash the TWRP recovery. You must flash a custom recovery before you can flash a stock or custom rom. Just look around in the development forums and you will find all the information you need.
tx_dbs_tx, I'm in the same boat w/ 4.4 currently installed.
From what little I've read I'm thinking 5.0 might be a wait (reports of memory leak & battery issues) in hopes that 5.1 will be a better option as I don't have time to fight with those kind of issues right now.
My plan was to root 4.4 and stay there for the next few(?) months.
Am I misinformed?
Thanks!
Its been a fewyrs since i last rooted a device ( Evo4gLTE) and Im having issues trying to root my Note 4. Installed Lollipop only because I found multiple sources saying it can be rooted with lollipop, but everytime i try to use autoroot , which i got from this forum, Odin regognizes but wont flash when i hit start. Should I go back to KK and try again?? Maybe im doing something wrong but I watched videos and re read the tutorials and no luck. Ive checked and double checked im using the right md5 file . Help??

Thank you I rooted. I used Cm12 seems not to be as many roms on here as I am accustomed to seeing been using htc for my last 2 phones. Thanks for the insight.
So I have used almost 5 custom ROMs after going through the cm12 update but none of the ROMs have fixed a very minor bug....the bug is any html5 video player through any browser buffers like crazy.... This did not happen with kitkat. Now some people will say that I should get a better internet connection, but I already have a 16mbps connection and things worked fine in kitakat.
Now I need some help and hopefully someone here will be able to help me with my issuee
I am currently running RR ROM and would like to return to cm12 so that I can return to kitkat by the guide provided in the forum. Problem is I can't find flashable cm12 files that I can flash through recovery. I don't want to use fastboot method. So if someone could please guide me to the link of the cm12 stock recovery and flashable zip of the ROM I'd be grateful. Thanks in advance!
Ahem... read the stickies.

There are 4 versions, which one should I use? Also are they flashable through a custom recovery over a 5.1.1 custom rom?
If your primary goal is to downgrade to KitKat, then follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/yureka/general/guide-downgrading-to-kitkat-t3097176
Thanks man....idk if it works directly from 5.1.1 or will I have yo downgrade to 12s but thanks for helping me out. I can't find the thnks button tho....where is it?
Been trying to make a stock 5.1.1 rom for the 12.2 based on the US version. I get system.img uncompressed. I cant help but feel im missing something. It Wont boot. Mabye my meta-inf is off? Thats why im looking for input on a kitchen that will work with our tar files. Or at least a complete guide. Ive been looking online for the past 3 days.
Thanks in Advance

I hard bricked my SGH-i747. It was running the Resurrection Remix ROM 7.1.1 with an NJ2 bootlader (I believe) before I flashed it with a ROM meant for i9300. The info I found to unbrick is to use AdvanceBox Turbo Flasher to make an image to write to extSD card and have the phone boot from there. Only firmware I can find is for 4.1.1 (LK3). Anyone know what my next step should be? Please and thanks...

Search XDA for Enewman17 Threads, it's where I got quite a lot of help with the D2ATT in my initial attempts to root and eventually have my phone running the latest ROMs.
Hope this helps.
Recently I rooted my kindle, and then flashed TWRP and stock jellybean. I attempted to install Kali Nethunter, but a good deal of the features require a modified kernel. As I have no clue about anything to do with Kernels, I tried to follow the guide to porting nethunter (XDA won't let me include links yet), but I ended up nowhere. I am not sure where or what kernel to use for it. I tried to look into kernel modification but all I found was very confusing. Any help is appreciated.
