  1. The ATT S5 G900A does not have an Exynos SoC, it has a Qualcomm. And the requirements state that the bootloader needs to be unlocked when it is not possible on the device yet and therefore it cannot have a custom recovery

    • You are right! Plus, based on the info. noted on a link here, some features like camera, flash, home button, Bluetooth will not work! These are very important, so why even trying to instal this custom ROM on G900A??!!!
