NO.
Here you can find custom roms for SGH-M919 http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2283

You will brick your phone for sure...be careful

whew, thanks for the response guys! only reason I asked was because I have a t-mobile specific s4 and will be going to new zealand and didn't know if the phone (unlocked) would work properly there or not while using the t-mobile specific roms.

Hey Thanks for your revert.
I am using this S4 in India on Android Version 4.2.2 with SIM Unlocked. My main concern is phone should remain SIM unlocked after flashing any Lollipop Modem. But I suspect that, it would get locked after flashing latest modem. I have seen that Galaxy Tool apk has the ability to unlock the phone on Lollipop but it has been posted in the forum for Note 3. So Little bit confused whether it will work or not
So I need your help with detailed explanation how did you do that ?
Can you please provide solution step by step ?

the unlock remain after flash modem for l720 you need update your cellphone to 4.4.2, the rom is in sammobile.com/firmwares/L720, after update put into download mode and flash the custom recovery, now you can install albe95 rom, i search in the forum the modem L720 OD2 but not found, the last modem is the kitkat.

Can i9506 use same recovery/roms as i9505?

I am going to rom my friends phone, I used to have an i9505 and he has the LTE-A i9506 model, so was wondering if I can just use the same thing.
TWRP doesn't seem to have a page for the i9506.
Thanks

You own a Frankestein. Install this APP and add some screenshots.
@androidfine16: Without seeing your information from Phone Info, I can virtually guarantee that your only means of upgrading will be to install AT&T firmware, which will not lead to a good experience unless you're not planning on rooting the phone. AT&T locks its bootloader, making rooting virtually impossible.
If you just got this device, run, don't walk to where you got it from and return it.
