Is there any benefit on getting the I9505?

Just wanted to know if there is any benefit in getting the S4 I9505 when it comes to flashing roms?
It's unlocked so I know that's one good thing but is there any difference from just getting the regular ATT version? Thanks...
Its more expensive. Lol.

Absolutely. The bootloader is unlocked therefore you can flash any kernel (I9505), any roms, modems, firmwares without any worries. However I dont think the I9505 supports at&t's LTE but I may be wrong so dont quote me on that.

Thanks I was trying to decide which to go with, I was being offered both I337 and I9505 but the 9505 was dented at the bottom bezel. Oh well I went with the 337 and im now rooted and ready to flash away

In that case what do you recommend? Winamlite or Infamous? I usually try the TW roms before heading to aosp.
Im not an addict I just flash a lot.

Yes you can. BUT ( and this is very important), you need to flash Ktoonez kernel ( from the ATT forum) right before rebooting ( when youre done flashing omega its going to prompt you to reboot, make sure you uncheck reboot to go back to TWRP or CWM and then flash the kernel. We have to do this because the ATT S4 has a locked bootloader and uses a bypass called Loki. We need a Loki'd kernel in order to have roms from the I9505 to work properly on our phones.

Thanks for all the info. So I only need a loki'd kernel for 9505 roms. What about when flashing the I337 roms? The stock kernel dont have to be loki'd considering I already bypassed it when I rooted with Casual loki+motochopper?

Every rom that you flash must be flashed with loki-doki afterwards unless the rom itself is already Loki'd. You'll in each rom thread whether it is loki'd or not. If it is then you're fine just flashing the rom, if it isn't then you must flash loki-doki. Here it is

Make sure you read the installation for each and every rom and don't hesitate to ask in the thread itself if you're confused

You're welcome bro. Its because of ATT locking the bootloader that we have to go through this but still, thanks to the amazing devs we are able to flash things even with this locked bootloader. Have fun!
You can run more than just Omega.

Hey guys does anyone know if I can use a different stock rom on my At&t galaxy s4 sgh-i337? does flashing an international version stock firmware gives me all the software features of the international s4?

i9505g

My friend has a galaxy s4 i9505 that he bought from the google playstore. He tried flashing a couple of i9505 roms, is that possible?
can i9505g flash i9505 roms?
if not which roms are stable atm for 9505g?
thank you

No you cant because these 2 variants have different bootladers, As it Sounds you have the i9505g so I would either stay stock or try something like CM10.2.

I have the same phone and I agree with thekaykev. The I9505G has an unlocked bootloader, and I would stay away from any rom that may have KNOX included.

[Q] Galaxy S4 i337/i337m/i9505 ROM compatiblity

Just wondering about the safety of installing roms made for the i337 on the i337m or i9505. I recall reading a big thread on XDA talking about this earlier. Thanks.
I've got the i337m and I've never had a issue. On a i9505g Rom now. You can flash anything to anything as long as bootloader isn't locked

Hi friends: as you know a 4.4.2 leak for SGH-I337 is on XDA, thanks to designgears. Actually, there is a .tar version, odin flashable. Can anyone tell me if this is compatible with unlocked canadian I337M and can be safely flashed?

The leak won't work for you because it's a full ODIN package. It's signed for I337 and not the I337M, and is not in a flashable zip form. Even if you could use it, you'd have a locked bootloader afterwards and never have recovery again. You'll have to use some other 4.4.2 ROM, maybe check the i9505 development section for a recovery flashable one.

Thx so much. It's clearer now for me; it is indeed a tar file signed for I337 I was wrongly thinking that since I337M and I337 both share the same hardware rom compatibility might be possible, but I guess the AT&T factor plays the game otherwise. I'll check what's cooking in i9505 thread.
So, If I understand you correctly, an i9505 flashable zip, like wamalite for example, would work for i337m, is that so?

Yes. Any ROM in a flashable zip for any variant of the S4 except the i9500 (exynos model) will work on your device. I9505 are the easiest to get working, some other variant ROMs may need tweaking to work well. There's a thread about running other carrier ROMs in the general section.

last, would there be any knox issues if I flashed I9505 roms or do I have to simply remove knox? I also read that someone who flashed I9505 rom onto his I337m tulred his device to I9505 as well; is that "normal"

I don't know much about how knox affects custom recovery or if you can flash without tripping it. I know for sure it won't stop anything but would just simply void warranty. If you flash an I9505 ROM then because of the build.prop it will tell you it's an I9505, but it's still an I337M, you can't like use the i9505 ODIN files or anything just because you have an i9505 rom.

you've been extremely helpfull, thx a lot bro.
I've been trying to get either carbon Kitkat or aosb 1.2.7 on my i337, but when I try to flash the rom in twrp 2.6.3.1 it keeps giving me an error saying that the rom is only for jflte, jfltexx, i9505, gt-i9505. I don't know how to remedy this problem, am I stuck out?

I9505G kernel on I9505

Hi guys. Can I boot an S4 I9505 using a kernel for the I9505G? I risk to brick my phone? What are the hardware differences between the two devices? Thanks
