R u sure?
Yes we are sure. .The Google edition has different partition and no you can't just repartition your s4 ... You'll Brick it just as quick. ... But if you don't belive us then go ahead and flash stock gpe rom onto your phone and see what happens...
It has been done by others that's why we tell people not to do it. ... It's not the same

Is this a good rom for any Trend lite or it is only for a Romanian or Polish version of the phone? This is the rom I am talking about: http://www.droidgator.com/update-galaxy-trend-lite-s7390-android-412-xxuamj3-firmware/

Of course. You can update your rom to jelly bean. As it tell on the site its a stock rom not a custom rom. In my opinion update to jb is will give better perfomance to your device because its lighter and smooth compare to ics. For now theres no custom rom for this device. But you can increase the perfomance by rooting. See this thread.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2529115&page=2

I see, so this is just a way to update the stock rom without my carrier giving it to me. For sure I will root it later.
But then, these instructions on how to update offer 2 stock roms, the Romanian and the Polish one. Which one do I have to use if my phone is from Movistar Argentina?

Check your setting, about phone, baseband. Check the baseband number and you can download firmware from sammobile. Type your phone model gt-s7390. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

I checked for firmware for my phone on sammobile, but it seems that my phone Samsung galaxy trend lite GT-S7390L is not even listed in their database. So this means I shouldnt be updating to this romanian or polish stock roms?

You must download the correct firmware. Gt-s7390 and gt-s7390L is diffrent. If you flash gt-s7390 on your phone you may brick your phone. If the romanian or polish stock is for gt-s7390L then you can flash it with odin. If not im suggesting not to try it. The best way to do now by rooting your device and delete some unusefull stock apps. It can help to increase your phone speed.

Yes. No custom rom for this model.
So.
1. what is is the best root apk for (best way to root) a samsung gt-s7390 running Jb412?
2. what's the upside of rooting this at all? i hear about rooting that it's so good for you, but no one explained CLEARLY. just scared to brick my phone is all.
How did you get root access?
I've been searching for a root tool for the Trend Lite GT-S7390, but can't find one that works.

Have you tried sammobile? If you want official firmware better check that site. Instructions are there too. Better find and match the proper Note 3 variant with what you have to what you are going to flash.

You're on 4.3 bootloader right, just so we clear. Try going to Android Dev thread and check Temasek CM11 build. His rom works on any bootloader, and since you're looking for an AOSP alternative.

Sorry, slept for awhile. Glad i could help. Only Omni based rom i can think of is Dirty Unicorn. I'm using temasek cm11 for my N3 rock solid and stable, daily driver worthy.

i dont have any specific answer for your WHY.. i just know it works .. if i try flashing zzg1 only it gives random reboot with online video playback with youtube and other . i am going to try the efs partition fix and will tell you if it solve the reboot problem.. i think its due to Crupted efs will reply if it worked ..

for expl if i wanna flash a ROM of i9505 on my i9500 ?!
what could happen ?
Odin will refuse to install a stock ROM that does not match the model of S4 you try to install it on. This is a good thing, because using your example, at best the device would bootloop. More likely you would end up with a soft brick, as the processor of the I9500 is different from the processor for the I9505.
Flashing a custom ROM not intended for the device will have similar consequences, either a boot loop or soft brick.
