[Q] My S4 detects the firmware as an official GE - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone.
Today I flashed the latest ROM 4.2.2 of Jamal and I skipped this update.
I do not know if this is normal, but it seems that I detect my I9505 as a S4 Official GE. Guys do you think? I have fear of giving mobile update and I brick the phone.

The OTA would fail if you tried to apply it.

[Q] Where to find GE ROM?

Hello, I am looking for a Google Edition ROM for my i9505.
I have been using Jamal's 4.3 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348272), but when I tried to get the 4.4 OTA, it did not work, as I now know is stated by Jamal in his/her post.
Does anyone know where I can get the completely stock ROM from the i9505G, so that I can get OTA updates, either for 4.3 to update to 4.4, or 4.4 itself?
You won't be able to get official OTA updates with those ports because the i9505G has a different bootloader. You will have To flash updates manually.
Please correct me if I'm wrong

[Q] i9505 still running on 4.3

Hi, my i9505 is still running 4.3 android. I didnt get the update to the 4.4 OTA. Kies only shows message, that the device is running the latest firmware.
When I bought i9505, I rotted the 4.2. Than the android was updated to 4.3 (gets unrooted), I dont remeber, if I get the update OTA/Kies, or if I updated it via odin
How can I get the latest android updates?
Thank you.
[if any other info needed, please ask]
edit: so I updated it to 4.3 via odin with an german FW.

[Q] Galaxy S4 with GPe rom

Hi guys, i'm from Brasil, and my english is not so good...
But... I have a Galaxy s4 gt-i9505, and I flash on it a Google Play edition rom. Recently, come to me a notification that says the Android 5.0.0 came to my device. But, as I flashed this rom and rooted my device, the actualization just downloaded and doesn't complete the instalation.
There's a method that I can instal the 5.0 in my device? I removed the root, but it still flashed the rom and CWM custom recovery...

[Q] GT-I9500 - Downgrade to Official KitKit / CM11

I have updated my GT-I9500 (S4 Exynos version) to the official TouchWiz 5.0.1 ROM (I9500XXUHOC1), but ever since this update the phone gets heated up during usage and especially during charging (which is high than what it use to be earlier). Am getting frequent force close messages (some which were fixed with a recent OTA update) but still the experience has been horrible with the official Samsung Lollipop uddate. I have now rooted and got Philz Touch Recovery in place. All I wanted to find out is can I wipe and flash CM11 (GT-I9500 Version) on my device, will it work or will that brick the device as am directly downgrading from 5.0.1 to 4.4.2 ? Is there a specific way to do this ? Any help is very much appreciated, I need to get out of this 5.0.2 for good.
Of course it will work. downgrading only applies to official roms.

Flashed lollipop modem and bootloader in jellybean :(

Recently I flashed lollipop modem and bootloader on galaxy s4 i9505 running stock jellybean 4.3. Now wifi not working. Can u help me guys to get old modem and bootloader.
Why would you do that?
You could flash jelly bean modem back, maybe, but bootloader may fail due to the "no downgrading" policy of Samsung.
That's not possible what you want.
