Quick query... when restoring to a previous ROM after trying out one and not liking it much, should I treat it as though I am installing a fresh ROM and do a full wipe before hand? Im using Philz Touch 5 CWM V6.0.3.4

Ok, first of all, my phone model is i9505 (Samsung Galaxy S4 International version).
I installed last week a new kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297379 on my phone.
Today I tried to install the cyanogenmod 10.2, now the recovery edition of PhilZ Touch says everytime that there is a prob i9505G etc, which I don't understand.
I think the kernel changed my phone number to i9505G, someone who can help me with this? Thanks.

Yeah sure, just installed stock firmware 4.3 so nothing editted, PhilZ CWM recovery and that's it.
Since the kernel it won't install cm10.2 anymore so yeh...
Nothing much to explain, I don't know why this happens to me, my model number jftlexx is correct but in recovery it gives a bunch of errors with i9505G and the model name of it, forgot it I think it was like jgdlet or something.

i found this after reading cm10 that you need to install a compaltible recovery for this "Make sure you have the LATEST version of ClockworkMod recovery. Other recoveries may work but will not be supported by CyanogenMod" either you use a Clockwork recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397108 or you can try it with TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468187 and make sure the file you download is not corrupt, please check the Hashcheck that u got the proper file.

Hey guys, so I recently failed flashing a rom onto my phone, and now it won't turn on at all. I'm pretty sure the battery still has something left in it, and I've been trying to turn it on to the odin download mode, but the phone isn't giving a response nor is my computer recognizing it. Is there any fix?
What did you try to flash? Pretty sure you hard bricked it.

Live and learn. Always check what you're flashing and only flash what is for your specific device. All s4's aren't the same.

Yup. Just questioning now, I looked at the website and they offer to allow me to chose a rom for them to install. Can they install CM11 or CM10 even if I have the MK2 S4, which only allows TW roms to be flashed?

If you're on mk2, no. I don't think they can, but can they flash mdl on your phone? That would be cool.
How do I know if my phone is jlfte or jlftexx?
I have a:
Galaxy S4 i9505 16gb
Baseband: I9505XXUFNC4
Android: AOSB 4.4.2 (I have flashed the jlfte version but have problem with the camera)
up!
Jflte is the modelnumber for the galaxy s4. Jfltexx is the International model of the galaxy s4.
Different carriers have different modelnumbers because of their lte frequencies. All of them have the Snapdragon 600. If you no carrier restricted phone then you have the jfltexx
Alternativly you could dial *1234#

And a jflte ROM is for every snapdragon S4. So for the jflteatt, jfltevww, jfltetmo and of course jfltexx. It's called a unified build. The jfltexx is just the i9505. So the device you own. You can flash jfltexx ROMs and jflte ROMs. They both should work.
Me Gusta!
@Me Gusta and @benni2903 thanks guys!

I never changed the ROM, I'm using the original. This is the first time i'm trying to change de ROM.
I installed Root from JflteXX and it worked. But i know that i can brick my mobile if i install the wrong version of TWRP.

Yeah, im 99.9% sure you've got a jfltexx. The VJ is just your modem. Just go ahead and flash jfltexx twrp.
Also, the i9505 is nearly, I repeat, nearly unbrickable. Almost everything can be fixed by using Odin.

Hey,
I made a thread the other day about getting a good ROM because the others seem to die after 3 days. Does anyone have an idea of why this happens? I have tried 6 different ROMS in 4 days and they all the do the same thing; Apps won't open, phone constantly on boot logo, apps crash, phone freezes up, phone won't boot up.
The phone is around 4 weeks old with minimal wear.
I would appreciate all feedback.

That's my problem. When I did flash a custom ROM, they all froze, crashed, non responsive etc etc. So this has made me not want to flash a custom ROM, but I want to because of all the perks that come with flashing /:
You have maybe to update bootloader or modem or recovery before flashing. .
Give some details about your actual configuration and the rom you flash...

I had CWM 6.0.4.7 flashed and I tried Gooh S5+N4 ROM, S5 stock by Jamal, XNote, Omega and N9005 Dev Base (RC tea I think) and a couple others. When flashing, I did all the normal step, wiping cache, wiping data, dalvik when told and leaving the phone for 10 minutes after it boots.
Do you want any information about the actual phone?
You have N9005 international? ???you have flashed stock KK one time???your bootloader and modem version....
You have to factory reset during flash.......

1. Reflash the stock ROM.
2. Root with CF Auto Root.
3. Flash this custom recovery: TWRP (better than CWM).
4. You can remove the bloatware (HERE) and enjoy the stock ROM.

Sorry but I don't like the custom Roms. It's coz they are constantly updating and fixing things, no coz they are bad. Every device don't answer in same way with same ROM either. It's only my opinion . Last choice is always yours.
