[Q] Help with FLASHING ROMS ETC...

Hi guys I'm new here and need some help...
I am currently using a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 on baseband version XXUBMGA. I have rooted and installed TWRP v2.5.0.0.
1) I have TWRP v2.5.0.0 and I want to update to TWRP v2.5.0.2, can i just flash the latest version through Odin? Or do I need to remove the older version of TWRP first? If so, how?
2) I'm looking for a rom for my phone like the Google Edition but with more features, however I want the phone to be stable and be able to be used as a daily driver. I have seen a rom called JellyBam, has anyone had any experience with it and if so, was it good?
I would like to go with CynagoenMod but there are only nightlies for the i9505 and I heard they are unstable with a lot of bugs, is this true? Is the latest version stable?
Cheers!

Hi,
1. No you don't need to remove, just flash the newer version over the one you have. Usually you will find this information on TWRP thread on first pages.
2. To keep features of the phone, just check development forums for I9505 and read more about the custom ROMS available there and what people saying about and you gonna be able to decide yourself what suits you best.
Cheers

1) flash it with odin, it will replace the old one.
2) you can try roms and decide. (read posts on rom threads to have an idea)

Thanks both for the replies, greatly appreciated! I will have a look at the section here on XDA and decide Thank for the help!

Question Installation Custom Rom S4 MK2

Hello
i was trying to install a custom rom on my galaxy s4 but after going through some topics i m kind of unsure about it.
its an att phone
my model number says I337
and the baseband is MK2.
most of the roms i found say something about att i9...
with reading some topics i just have the feeling that the MK2 is "special" and i cant just use any rom.
can someone help me and let me know which roms will work (download link would be appreciated). i planned to go with either google edition 4.4 or cyanogen mod. (if there is anything better please let me know)
and if i need any other software (for backup etc).
i already rooted the phone with saferoot. i just dont know how to get a custom rom on there now.
thank you for your help it greatly appreciated.

As far as i know you can't run custom roms on the i33, AT&T has it so locked down it can't be done

Kernel Version: [email protected] #1

Goldeneye rom for gti9500 - which Zip file?
Sorry to ask this, but when trying to flash the Goldeneye rom on my wife's S4 GT i9500 International, it seems the zip file is for the Gti9505 zip instead . if you select either link for gti9500 or gti9595 on the Goldeneye XDA thread, it takes you to the same file page with the rom zip for both phones. I have a gt i9500 and downloaded the GE-XXUGNK4-49.2.zip as I assumed it was an update from GE-XXUGNK4-49, but when I try to flash it on my GT i9500 it asks which variant to choose from with US/Canada carriers or the gt i9505. Am I correct in assuming I therefore need to download the GE-XXUGNK4-49 version, or is it the GE-XXUGNK4-48.zip that I need for the GT i9500?
Your help would be great.

New here, have lurked for ages before finally pulling the trigger and doing away with stock.
After an insane amount of confused reading, I somehow managed to root and get goldeneye on my canadian S4.
But it looks like I don't get 4g or LTE anymore. In reading and searching I see many references to a canadian LTE fix, (im on Fido) but I just can't find the dang link.
Can someone point me in the right direction ? Thanks

From what i understand omega v20 does not support 900I. It also uses phoenix kernel which I have heard has compatibility issues with 900I. Try Omega V18 (lolipop) or if you want a marshmallow based rom, try something else. Remember that these posts were posted years ago and that last year's "latest TWRP" is not THE latest TWRP.
you may want to flash original firmware via sammoblie to get you out of this predicament first.
edit. also post on a more appropriate thread next time. or else no one is going to find ur question
