Unless you want a shiny paper phone go right ahead. I have no idea why would you want to do such thing. You will basically brick your phone if you do that.

New to S4

So I just recently bought this beast of a phone, and I'm loving it. I am rooted and stuff and have been messing around with the ROMS on the forum for the Verizon S4. I found this forum the other day and was wondering if I can flash these ROMS to my S4 which is i545 rather than the i9505 or i9500. So can i flash these ROMS like a normal flash or would I have to do something different to get these ROMS like MiUi on my phone. ( I love MiUi.) Thanks for the help

For safety of the device stay away from other then your device forum
As other varaiants will have different mount codes and kernel which mostly will brick your phone

no. stop asking. you've been told several different times in this thread now that, if you're on MF3, you cant do much right now without bricking your device or making things hard on yourself in general.
wait for an exploit and read up until then.
Whoa watch ur tone I understand wat I was told in my thread it was jus a little hard to believe that there was such an issur with exact same firmware for identical devices
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
It's hard for you to believe because you don't search up on and/or read anything. Don't tell me to watch my tone. I don't care what you think or how your little heart feels. I simply am trying to keep you from bricking your device. Maybe it's about time you gave as much of a $h*t about your device as i do. I'm here to help. Don't get offended. Cheers
Lnao buddy listn here let me started over I asked the question s because on the 3 u can because the hardware is identical I reoeated myself because u felt I may have been unclear and missunderstood and I am no noob I searched and whst I found I wasnt clear on because it didnt specifically answer the question I felt I was askin ergo the reason for the thread and blno my feeling werent hurt the fact is u dnt dnt talk to ppl jus anykind of way because they go on your nerves u could have ignored me and left me hanging btw I do appreciate the help

You cannot flash 4.2 on 4.3. You can go to a best buy Samsung experience and they might be able to flash 4.3 again

go to sammobile.com for firmwares,they have every fw released for any phone..
as for unroot,delete busybox,then go to superuser and select unroot,it will do the rest.
don't forget to use triangle away to reset the counter...
And,if u flash official fw over rooted fw,u will loose root,in other words,u won't have to go thru unroot process if u flash official fw.

But when I go to Sammobile.com and I type in my County it doesn't come up.
I don't know my firmwire of my phone. I don't know where it came from

4.4.2 Firmware

Hey guys.
Had some great advice in some of my other questions and I thank everyone who posted. Everything always helps.
Just before I do this, as I've been informed that you can't go back to 4.3 after updating bootloader to 4.4.2.
Which would be the latest 4.4.2 firmware I should flash for N9005 in Australia? I then want to flash custom roms like Xnote etc. Knox will be triggered after I flash a custom recovery am I right?
Thanks guys. As far as I can see NC3 is the latest.

Oh ok cool thank you.
Thing is what if I was to flash the Netherlands firmware, will I still be able to use it stock if I wish in Australia? I'll probably go straight to custom rom but just seeing. I'm worried if I flash a certain countries firmware I'll brick my device...

no u won't brick, as long as u choose the correct firmware for your device.
and do a proper step by ODIN PC.
btw, u open 2 similar threads ?
Yeah I know, just trying to get more info. As a thread gets seen once, it's forgotten about pretty quickly and not many people get to see it, or have the opportunity to comment. especially in the q&a section.

Another thing I wanted to check was if I flashed ND3...can use like NB7 or NB3 or any earlier 4.4.2 rom?? Custom obviously? Heard some scary things if you go back...maybe that's to a non-knox firmware...
Thanks!!

You can flash other (earlier) 4.4.2 roms but you can`t downgrade to a 4.3 rom afaik
Oh cool. That's fine then. All these have open MSCs right? So I could technically use it stock? There will be an English option? I mean if it's all on there I don't know why Samsung doesn't release it at a faster rate, ir more at once... If indeed it works fine. I'll probably change straight away to a custom rom but still, it'd be nice to see what vanilla kit kit is like.
