N900T on AT&T to a N900V

[Ed Murray]

Hi all,

Today I set aside my 900T and purchased a 900V on a contract. I got it home and Rooted it within minutes using Towel Root. I'm not 100% sure about Safestrap. I have never owned a locked bootloader phone before this, so this is new territory for me.
I want to be able to install a Modded Stock ROM at the very least, safely. I would also like a Custom Recovery for Nandroid backups.

Does anyone have any suggestions, tips or advice they may want to share? My 900T was owned outright, this V is under contract (no warranty obviously) so I just want to be that much more safe is all. The Rooting process was easy peasy, which surprised me. Is there anything I should be aware of when I install SafeStrap?

Thanks everyone. Glad to be back on the Verizon Network again.

Welcome to the locked bl club. Install safe strap. Download any TouchWiz rom and reboot. At the ss splash screen tap recovery. It's like twrp. Backup. Then do a factory reset. Install rom. Reboot to download mode. Odin the nc2 kernel. Reboot and enjoy!

What's gained or lost by flashing the NC2 kernel? Just curious. It's on build NC4 now.

You are already on nc4 so don't bother with nc2 it is of no use to you. The good news is that you can use titanium backup to debloat your stock setup.
