It's not really necessary to make a new thread and ask when there's a Safestrap discussion thread, and if you would have read you would know that pretty much any 4.2.2 Touchwiz ROM works for you on MF3 and even Google Edition ROMs. Next time, search more before you post.

Is there any benefit on getting the I9505?

Just wanted to know if there is any benefit in getting the S4 I9505 when it comes to flashing roms?
It's unlocked so I know that's one good thing but is there any difference from just getting the regular ATT version? Thanks...
Its more expensive. Lol.

Absolutely. The bootloader is unlocked therefore you can flash any kernel (I9505), any roms, modems, firmwares without any worries. However I dont think the I9505 supports at&t's LTE but I may be wrong so dont quote me on that.

Thanks I was trying to decide which to go with, I was being offered both I337 and I9505 but the 9505 was dented at the bottom bezel. Oh well I went with the 337 and im now rooted and ready to flash away

In that case what do you recommend? Winamlite or Infamous? I usually try the TW roms before heading to aosp.
Im not an addict I just flash a lot.

Yes you can. BUT ( and this is very important), you need to flash Ktoonez kernel ( from the ATT forum) right before rebooting ( when youre done flashing omega its going to prompt you to reboot, make sure you uncheck reboot to go back to TWRP or CWM and then flash the kernel. We have to do this because the ATT S4 has a locked bootloader and uses a bypass called Loki. We need a Loki'd kernel in order to have roms from the I9505 to work properly on our phones.

Thanks for all the info. So I only need a loki'd kernel for 9505 roms. What about when flashing the I337 roms? The stock kernel dont have to be loki'd considering I already bypassed it when I rooted with Casual loki+motochopper?

Every rom that you flash must be flashed with loki-doki afterwards unless the rom itself is already Loki'd. You'll in each rom thread whether it is loki'd or not. If it is then you're fine just flashing the rom, if it isn't then you must flash loki-doki. Here it is
http://tau.shadowchild.nl/files/loki-doki.zip
Make sure you read the installation for each and every rom and don't hesitate to ask in the thread itself if you're confused

You're welcome bro. Its because of ATT locking the bootloader that we have to go through this but still, thanks to the amazing devs we are able to flash things even with this locked bootloader. Have fun!

The Omega roms are EXCELLENT, there are two versions of it one for the i9500 series
and the other for the i9505. If you have a i9505 phone do not try flashing the i9500 rom
or you will get a soft brick or worst and if your phone is a i9500 do not flash i9505 roms.
Touchwiz 4.3 roms are still very experimental and you will have many issues with it if you flash it.
You will end up flashing a Samsung Galaxy S 4 Touchwiz 4.2.2 based custom rom.
But it's up to you.
If you don't mind having issues with the phone and if you like experimenting that's a different story.
All in all the Omega 4.2.2 based Jellybean rom is what I would prefer, everything in it works great
and is flawless. It has all the bells and whistles which make the galaxy s4 such a great phone.
Here is the link for the Omega v12 custom rom for the i9505 phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2253528
And here is the link for the Omega v14.1 custom rom for the i9500 phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232887
Be sure to flash the right one for your phone & before flashing make a nandroid backup & be sure to do a full wipe before flashing.
Good luck!
Just to clarify the above comments. If you have an i337/i337m DO NOT try to flash the i9500 international roms. DO NOT...
I am just guessing since you posted in the i337 section this is what you have. Plus if you wait a bit I read VisionX (Ax) is gonna put out a 4.3 rom today for the i337.

If you have a i747 you are in the wrong forum for downloading roms.
None of the Samsung Galaxy S4 roms will work with a Samsung i747 phone.
The i747 phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3 phone which means that none of the roms
found in any of the Samsung Galaxy S4 forums or threads would be compatible with it.
So in other words my original post has nothing to do with a Galaxy S3 i747 phone.
The i9500 and or the i9505 roms will work with your i747 phone.
All questions regarding Galaxy S3 i747 belong in the Galaxy S3 forums and threads.
Good luck!
Sorry I knew what I was saying and MEANT i337. I was just in the i747 thread and must have had my old S3 on my brain... Old Mans brainfart.
So to reiterate if you have a i337/m do NOT flash the international i9500 as it will probabky brick your device. You shoukd be able to flash the i9505 international though. Or like I was trying to say Ax from the i337 forum is going to be posting a 4.3 international i9505 based rom today. Sorry for the mixup from above but it still stands... DO NOT flash the exyernos model i9500 firmware... period. You may be okay with i9505
I edited the above comments so it doesnt give out wrong info to future readers. I replaced my brain farted i747 comments baxk to where my brain should have been thinking to i337

So to be very clear. As a user stuck with mf3, root obtained, and running safestrap I can use the new i9505 based 4.3 tw rom axman is about to release? The fact that its based on the mj5 only denotes that it is for the i9505 correct?

The main Safestrap thread(s) should answer your questions about what can or can not be done with MF3.

The reason you can't is that the locked bootloaders won't allow you to flash modified kernel. Safe strap only allows ROMs with stock kernels. Like the guy said read the safe strap thread thoroughly.

Teal Screen After Flashing Any ROM? [GS4 ATT]

Hello XDA-
I have an i337 Galaxy S4 with MK2 firmware. I got Safestrap 3.71 for recovery bypassing and I have a really strange issue. It seems no ROMs that I flash a successful. Ever. I've tried AOSP ROMs, Cyanogen, etc. When I just tried installing Cyanogen I went to ROM slot 1, wiped it of everything except the external SD card, went to install, selected the .zip for MY device off of the external SD, flashed it, and when I reboot I get a teal screen with pulsing pink/brown lines on it. The same applies when I do any other ROM, except sometimes I just get a black screen that endlessly loop reboots.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
You can't flash aosp or cm roms in safe strap. They have to be touch wiz based.

Ahh, are you serious? Safestrap is the only working recovery bypass on my MK2 firmware, ugh. Hopefully Samsung eventually unlocks the bootloader. Well, I'm off to looking for a TouchWiz based ROM then.
Thanks!

You can, however, install Google Edition ROMs, I believe. Search through the Safestrap thread to make sure, but that should allow you a relatively AOSP-like experience.

It's not Kitkat, but it's still nice and clean.
Also, make sure you're using the correct version of Safestrap. One version 3.65 is for MF3 users, and version 3.71 is for MK2 users.

Yeah. If you have an MF3 S4 then you can run a 4.2.2 GE ROM, but us on MK2 are out of luck for a full AOSP experience unless an exploit is implemented.

Or, you could go search for them? That's why there's a search function. It's not there for looks and it works. We don't need all these threads posting and asking for other members to look for something for you. It's not hard to find them.

Lollipop update/ rom

Can anyone please tell me the best ROM to use to get as close to the Lollipop UI and features. I am using the Galaxy S4 I337 AT&T with safestrap. Most ROMS that I have tried will not work or wont boot up. Is there any Lollipop ROM's for the 9505 that will work, cause I know that some roms will work for the I337. Thanks averyone!

No lollipop will work until it's released officially for the ATT S4. Then safestrap will needed updated to work. Then you'll have a custom ROM with lollipop.
