Rom flashing - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello I have an s4 i9500 version. But there are so few roms available that is pretty sad. I was wondering if I can flash a rom for the i9505 and change kernel to make it work. I'm wondering if it could work because I saw a video of the HTC One in youtube and the person did something similar between the spring and the International variant. So I'm wondering if will it work

No definitely not.
If you flash i9505 ROM you will brick your device!

[Q] Galaxy S4 i9500 from Amazon

Hello guys, Some sellers from amazon are selling the I9500 at 400 bucks. Would you go for it?
Seems too good to be true, however amazon warranty is awesome, I've never had any issues with bad sellers when ordering through them

Rooting and flashing roms can be done easily on the i9500 as well.. I have Omega rom (pre-rooted) and a custom kernel on my i9500.
It's just AOSP roms that aren't available yet, but should be soon enough.
So, if you're into flashing AOSP roms and cannot wait for them to be available, or if you really need 4G, get the i9505.
If you like taking picture (or slow motion videos - 720p on the i9500) or want a slightly faster phone, get the i9500.

In that case, you're probably right.
It does seem to be too good to be true but then again like you said Amazon is pretty. Personally I think it should be legit and you should go for it.

Eclipse GE ROM on ATT..

I was looking through other cellular network threads for the S4 and I stumbled upon this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2363813. My question is, would it work on att? Since technically it changes your device to the I9505G? If not.. Is there a way to port it?

Flash the i9505 (intl s4) rom, then flash a jflteatt/i337 (at&t s4) kernel right afterwards. Personally I like Ktoonsez' kernel.

Which S4 to buy ?

So I've tried to make some sense of it all there are so many variants of S4 out there .I have recently started the hunt for a S4 and I'm looking for one with the unlocked bootloader and trouble free rooting. Which one would that be ?
I9505 you'd need it to be on a 4.2.2 firmware like MGA anything pre KNOX. Also we can flash GE roms so KitKat soon too.

Official MIUI will be available for GT-I9500 soon.
What's MIUI? Imo you should buy the I9505. More rom development for that. But I9500 has better camera slightly and sound and the 8 cores, but no LTE/4G. I have this variant but in my honest opinion I'd say get the I9505.

I9505 I'd say too. More support, roms and you can always flash google edition rom! Plus it has 4g and openGL ES3.0 support on Android 4.3!

There is little to no development for the i9506 if you're wanting custom ROMs get the i9505

I'm afraid that i9506 is the only one with compatible 4G here... What to do :/

Why not choose i9505
Not bad if you want a custom rom
I9505 also 4G but not full 4G as I9506
Ok but what if the missing 4G part is the only one i can use here..?
