Hi All,
I have a question is it safe to flash ROMs to my I9505 S4 or I should perform some checks before that or it has to be specific ROM.
Details are :
Code:
Baseband version : I9505XXUAMDF
Kernel version: 3.4.0-431985 (from around 12th April)
Build Number: JDQ39.I9505XXUAMDF
SELinus Status : Permissive
I have done that on my old HD2 and ZTE Blade, so the procedure is not a problem, but I am not sure if its the same with the S4.
Should I be aware of something or I can pick any other room ? ( Like Pacman's 4.3 ).
Don't know if the ROM's are radio/Hw specific ( as it used to be with GEN1 and GEN2 to ZTE Blade ) or I can choose any ROM and give it a try.
Please advise.
Regards

I bought my defy+ on the 3rd of May 2012..
It came pre-installed with android 2.3.6
System Version: 45.0.2310.MB526.AsiaRetail.en.03
Android version: 2.3.6
Baseband version: EPU93_U_00.60.03
Kernel version: [email protected] #1
Build number: 4.5.1-134_DFP-231
I wanna root it.
I tried the following, but they just didn't work:
1. SuperOneClick (all the versions).
2. Easy root AAD
I'm just about to loose my mind.
I heard that the moto defy+ comes out with a new un-rootable chinese ROM.
And that is just fueling my disappointment with this device.
Please guide me as I'm fairly new to this stuff.
P.S.: 1 more silly question.. Without rooting my device, can i flash my device with a custom ROM (eg. Cyanogen mod 7, etc.) which is previously rooted ?

I want to upgrade my wife's s4 i9500 wanamlite 4.3 ROM
This time I want to try a not modded rom
Need advice please - If I'm choosing the right way to a new stock firmware + ROOT AND RECOVERY :
1. Is this firmware suitable ? for Israel ?
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=31706
Model: GT-I9500

2. then,after the stock firmware ODIN installation
ROOT : http://download.chainfire.eu/326/CF-R...
CWM Recovery :- http://d-h.st/2Iu (Odin Version)
Is this two steps = 100% what is needed ?
& Also :
3. I see that Modded ROMs are >> Deodexed / Zipaligned converted
What Actually is the difference ? is it a Must ? for fast & good battery usage... etc.
4. and finally ( regardless to the stock base firmware etc. ) - Just a general question : What CSC is usually recommended when there is no unic one to your country ?
we are from Israel and when I used UK CSC - the Phone No. structure has been change
Many THX ( in advance )

Hi ,
Regarding 1
Yes, that would be the right firmware for that phone , question what bootloader you have right now , new or old? Go to download mode and see if there is any Knox related info , if there is not then you have the old one , I mention this just because if you have the oldbootloader and flash a stock rom >4.3 there is no way back and any flashing after that it will trip the knox warranty bit
Regarding 2
It depends, why you want a stock rom? You need root for some apps and some mods (as long as there is no flashing and depending in the bootloader no problem with knox) , you need CWM if you intend to flash
Regarding 3
Here you go:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224570
Main advantage, moding and speed , other than that they are similar
Regarding 4
CSC CustomerSalesCode this has specific information about the carrier and country where the phone is used , language , phone number structure , SMS, MMS , special services offered by carrier…..must custom roms have multiCSC you can change them to the one want ( if you change CSC you will factory reset it ! backup first) , there are app that will do it for you
90% of the time there is no need to do it but if you want this is a great one for that

Hello to all developers in the forum. I want desperately your help because i messed up with my phone.
Recently i changed rom to my device. I think that it had the stock firmware from its factory which it was 4.2.2 (i am not so sure).
I updated to 4.3 rom through many difficulties.

Baseband Version: I337UCUEMK2
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-1921628 KST 2013
Build Number: JSS15J.I337UCUEMK2
I would appreciate any help because my wifi doesn't work as well as the data,the keybord and many other applications. I think that i didnt install the correct kernel. All i did was through odin because i cant install rom through recovery mode. I also cant return to factory mode. PLEASE HELP ME
sammobile.com. didnt work for me!!!
Boot the phone into download to confirm the model #.
Do you see anything about Knox or warranty bit in download mode?
Hello to the community,

Go to sammobile.com, type in your phone model and download a stock ROM from there, and flash it with Odin.
If the phone is running a stock 4.3 bootloader, you may not be able to flash any stock roms from sammobile.com.
The forum for the s4 for AT&T is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att
User has posted in the correct forum here
