Well the ROMs won't flash a radio for you; that's what you need. Flash the 4.2.1 radio if you're after LTE, then you can run any ROM you want...
I'm sure you can find a flashable zip of the old radio if you don't want to do it via fastboot.

I'd consider rooting and fastbooting the old radio to be the quickest way. If you used one of the toolkits to root then just fastboot the radio to the device and problem solved.

Can't start any Custom Rom

IT seems that any custom Rom I load just sits at the startup animation on first boot. None will Load. I can revert back to Stock without a problem.
Any Idea's?

You need to provide more info. Which stock version are you using? what bootloader version you on? What roms have you tried, and what are they based on (4.1.x, 4.2.x) ? CWM, or twrp?

Started with 4.2.2, used the nexus 7 tool kit to perform root, install recovery, etc. Using twrd 2.4 fir recovery. Smooth rim was the latest. Tried 2 others but the names escape me right now. I have rooted and loaded custom rooms on my last 3 phones so I am not s complete noob but am not an expert either

Is it really that easy to install custom roms?

Or am I missing something?
Flash custom recovery through Odin, flash custom rom?
No root beforehand, no unlocking the bootloader?
Thx :good:

Yeah international i9505. I know it's not simlocked, but I'm used to Nexus devices where you need to unlock the bootloader 1st (the same with Asus Transformer tabs) before one do anything.
So... I need to be rooted first before I can flash a custom recovery?

Yep you dhont need ulcoking bootloader just go t android devolpment and djembay thread you will find odin end rooted stock rom

No you do not need to be rooted before hand - flash custom recovery then the custom rom.

I have some questions.

OK so I think I'm getting this phone soon and I have some questions that are new to me. I have a Samsung (LOL I know) but when flashing ROMs it says flash tom gaaps that's it. But for the N4 it says stuff about boot loaders and radios. Are radios the same as modems? And how do you flash a boot loader?

Flashing a bootloader is the same as flashing a rom or gapps. So for the 4.3 update you would flash the rom, gapps, radio and bootloader in recovery

Radios are the same as modems. Handles cell reception, data, sensors and such. A bootloader is what starts the operating system. When a new bootloader and radio come out people will normally make a flashable zip, or you can use fastboot to install either. Installing ROMs is the same as what you mentioned, Flash ROM then gapps.

Why would you need someone else's nandroid?
Why don't you just simply download a fresh install package?

Just download any custom rom install package and flash with custom recovery.
Obviously you already have custom recovery.
I don't believe bootloader version matters for custom rom.

Sorry I don't know about miui never used it on sg4, I used it on HTC desire HD and never liked it.
With out knowing myself, can you not flash custom rom at all,? have you actually tried? Does it error out while install any custom rom?
I'm not advanced enough with sg4 and I'm still on old bootloader so no idea about this BS bootloader issues so I'll back out now and I hope someone smarter can help.
(Can't remember having these BS issues with my old HTC's)

thanks

Someone else's nandroid isn't going to fix this issue for you. Once you've got the new bootloader, that's it.
