I found a link to install TWRP recovery onto my phone but first I have to unlock my bootloader. I bricked 2 identical phones in the past using EZ Unlock to unlock the bootloader. Both times as soon as I rebooted my phone...they never worked again. My question is how do I safely unlock my bootloader without this happening again? I also want to know once my bootloader is unlocked, and TWRP recovery is safely on my phone, will I then be able to freely install custom roms? Or will I still need to install safestrap and safestrap compatible roms or touchwiz roms only?

If you are on 4.3 you cannot flash TWRP or unlock your bootloader. It is saferoot, safestrap, and safestrap compatible 4.3 TW ROMs only for you.

What are some custom 4.3 touchwiz roms for NC1?


[GUIDE][ML1/NC1] TW 4.3 Sticky Roll-Up Thread (5-24-14) - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2639337

Here is a lit of rome or 4.3 touchwiz roms

Custom Roms
AllianceRom
Wicked Sensations Rom
MOAR
CleanROM 8.2 Core Edition
Samstock
Slapnuts
I535 Mostly Stock
Stock Rooted ML1 Rom

Yet when you go into the rom it self they all are on the old ML1 rom none say anything about NC1

Question is .. if i use safestrap on my locked boot loader with NC1 since i will be creating a new rom slot will i be able to flash the ML1 roms via safestrap or am i totally hosed or are there roms out there for 4.3 touchwiz for NC1 ?

Thanks

There are no 4.3 Touchwiz ROMs for NC1. If you want to have fully functioning ROMs (meaning have working WiFi) through safestrap you have to ODIN flash back to ML1, then root, load safestrap, and flash an ML1 based 4.3 TW ROM, then the kernel module from the safestrap thread. Another user in these forums was talking about posting an NC1 kernel module, but I haven't seen any results on that. If you take the OTA upgrade or ODIN flash up to NE1 4.4.2, safestrap is not yet available for that.

    There is no custom recovery that us compatible with either the VRUCML1 or VRUCNC1 TouchWiz OTAs. Safestrap is the closest you will get to a "custom recovery" from TW 4.3+.

    More info below. It states everything that Landshark has already posted btw:
