Hello, I am looking for a Google Edition ROM for my i9505.
I have been using Jamal's 4.3 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348272), but when I tried to get the 4.4 OTA, it did not work, as I now know is stated by Jamal in his/her post.
Does anyone know where I can get the completely stock ROM from the i9505G, so that I can get OTA updates, either for 4.3 to update to 4.4, or 4.4 itself?
You won't be able to get official OTA updates with those ports because the i9505G has a different bootloader. You will have To flash updates manually.
Please correct me if I'm wrong

Hi there,
I'm currently running CM 10.1 with mako.Kernel on my N4 and want to switch to 4.3 rooted.
Can I simply wipe my device and flash a new 4.3 stock rom from the Google developers website and root it afterwards?
Do I first need to get back to stock 4.2.2. to be able to flash the latest version?
Cheers
I download a custom rom, nearly untouched 4.3 android for my gs4 here in XDA, just out of curiosity i checked for updates and my device told me that i could download 4.4, is it safe to update??

And sorry for my bad english, im not form US im from Brazil.

Go check out your rom thread, there should be more info.
My GE was updated OTA to KitKat a few days ago and I hate it. Tried restoring factory data settings but the phone still has 4.4
In addition, I tried looking for a stock official 4.2 ROM for this device to flash - but couldn't find anything.
Is there any way to downgrade the current OS to stock 4.2?
Thanks

Hi, my i9505 is still running 4.3 android. I didnt get the update to the 4.4 OTA. Kies only shows message, that the device is running the latest firmware.
When I bought i9505, I rotted the 4.2. Than the android was updated to 4.3 (gets unrooted), I dont remeber, if I get the update OTA/Kies, or if I updated it via odin
How can I get the latest android updates?
Thank you.
[if any other info needed, please ask]
edit: so I updated it to 4.3 via odin with an german FW.
Hello,
I have a rooted i337 with MDL baseband, running stock 4.2.2 firmware. I am currently out of the US and therefore cannot receive any OTA. I want to upgrade to Lollipop or Marshmallow based custom ROMs, esp those that can still use the IR feature of the S4.
Can anyone guide me on how I do this upgrade, without bricking my phone? Would truly appreciate your help. Thanks.
Have you tried running ota updates via wifi without a SIM card in the phone.
To run a custom rom, you would need to install a custom recovery to flash the rom. Some mm and LP ROMs may not work with a 4.2.2 modem and bootloader.
If you want to use a custom ROM, DO NOT take any OTA updates. If you take an OTA and it is successful, then you will no longer be able to install a custom ROM.
Here is the Cyanogenmod thread to install CM to your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3008609
If you would like to update to official ATT/Samsung lollipop(there is also a way to have root)[remember, once you take an official update from MDL, then you will no longer be able to install a custom ROM and you may never be able to get Marshmallow]: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2926642
