All the custom roms don't have a bootloader. Just flash away.

I have been reading that users are having wifi problems when flashing new bootloader roms on old bootloader devices? Just ensuring :-S

If you flash a custom rom true the recovery, then nothing can go wrong. Just make a nandroid backup in case it doesn't work and you want to go back.

Hi all.
1st if all, i want to know whether i can remove this KNOX from my GT-I9500. I got it when i updated to 4.3.
I haven't rooted my phone and I'm using the custom rom.
I've heard that installing KNOX takes away my freedom to root my GS4.
Please help.

Nope. You're stuck with it mate.
You can still root and flash custom ROMS though so don't worry

I want to root my device and flash a new kernel (alpha kernel).

Hi.
It's impossible to downgrade if u are on 4.3 firmware (MJ5 version) plus the new bootloader.
What do i do then? I want to download the Omega rom and do the s tweaks to maxx out my battery life.

I'm afraid you're stuck with it, mate.
Wait for indie to update his new version.
U may want to try other ROMs that's available on I9500.
Okay so I'm currently rooted on stock rom. I just want to know if there's any way that I can start flashing ROMs by using any recovery. At the moment I just keep seeing there's no recovery available for mf3 baseband.. I really want to take advantage of this phone with mods.. Please help

Hi,
Is it possible to use the stock recovery to Flash zips? Alternatively will using the app Flashify to Flash the zips cause any issues? This is for a D802 on 4.4.2.
Thanks

From what I remember, the stock recovery doesn't have that function.

Ditto
Stock only flashes signed zips. Like official ota and such.
Flashify to flash, well all depends what it is. U can flash recoveries safely but not stuff that is in operation. Some, maybe like sound mods that require reboot.
I just rooted my phone and would like to find out if I can flash zips for thing like mods (NOT ROMS) safely.

Mods/Roms are flashed in same way through CUSTOM RECOVERY (TWRP or PhilzTouch). Remember always make a nandroid backup before install any mod for recovery your system in case it goes wrong :highfive:
Does that mean I cannot flash through the stock recovery?

Correct you cannot flash through stock it has to be a custom recovery
