[Q] Where to find GE ROM? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

[Q] How to get from CM 10.1 to 4.3 rooted?

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

[Q] S4 Google Edition - Downgrade to 4.2

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

[Q] i9505 still running on 4.3

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.

Newbie requesting help to upgrade from 4.2.2 to Lollipop

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
