I got the s4 on Verizon prepaid and I'm looking for the firmware all over the net and can't seem to get any info or responses on it. I can't start tweaking the phone unless I have the firmware because I try to be cautious about this and not end up with a soft brick. The firmware I'm in need of specifically is for i545pp running 5.0.1 lollipop and the baseband i545ppvruaoh7 with kernel 3.4.0 sep 7 2015 (not sure if the kernel info is needed) just like any Samsung firmware, it needs to work with Odin. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I don't think Verizon has released the firmware so no one has it. If you get the Verizon Samsung Software Update and Repair Tool on your PC it will flash/repair the firmware on your phone as long as you can get it in download mode.

Well on my s3 some guy got me the NF5 firmware when no one else had it but he wouldn't tell me how he got it. I've used that program you mentioned before on my s3 before I got the firmware for it. It always froze at like 51%. So I had to return it and pay a hefty fee for replacement. I'd feel safer having the firmware on me then rely on a program that could fail like on my s3. I know some other guy is asking for it to on sammobile.com but hasn't gotten any write backs. I'm hoping someone can turn something up soon cause holding back on tweaking is driving me crazy lol. But still I appreciate your help. Thank you. Anything turns up, please let me know so then if anyone else were to get the s4 and wanna tweak it, they have the firmware Verizon installed on it before putting it in stores.
