Anyone know if you can flash any jflte rom on verizon s4 if you flash loki hack on top? I know with Carbon and other builds that is the case but I'm looking at Mahdi's Rom and I see only people using KT kernel.

I don't believe you can flash any rom other than Verizon without some involved build.prop editing at the very least. International roms are compatible with my at&t but I usually have to fix my apns . There are a couple threads on porting roms to different carriers but I never read them so- I can't really recommend one personally. Search it and see. Good luck

Anyone running T-mobile roms on your canadian or att phones? i am wondering about your experiences and if it is possible. I have read several threads saying yes its possible, and some saying "are you crazy?" so am confused. it looks to me like they have the same hardware, so as long as you do not flash a modem, you should be okay?? someone correct me if i am wrong.

I've been running one since Loki was released. Haven't even tried an AT&T, not a big selection to choose from right now

I'm using a T-Mobile rom called wicked v3 with the loki kernel. The only thing is, it was only 4g if i wanted LTE i had to fix the apn and then reboot. I saw LTE after that and been on it ever since.

I have tested and ran roms from ALL other carriers on the US ATT device. Just kept adding and tweaking until they were worthy of a daily.
So I'm brand new to rooting and i just rooted my sprint galaxy s4 SPH-L720 yesterday. I've been trying to get a rom but every rom leads to a bootloop. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I made a backup of my stock so i can always go back to that but I would like to know what I'm doing wrong.
I've tried:
WanamLite ROM for Galaxy S4 GT-i9500: .........Bootloop
Pac Man Rom..................................................Bootloop
omega.............................................................Bootloop
Foxhound.........................................................Just went to stock
What am i doing wrong?
Can i use roms for i9505 on i9500?
How do i know a rom works on my phone before i download it?
if you respond please make you answers are simple as possible since i am new
Thank you very much for any help!!!!!!

None of those ROMs have a Sprint kernel built in them, so even if you were able to get them to boot, which you obviously didn't, you would most likely have non-working data (3G & 4G), WiFi, etc.
Stick with the ROMs that are in the dev sections of the Sprint GS4 variant and you'll be fine. There are others that have claimed to be able to get non-Sprint variant ROMs to work, but YMMV.
Good luck!
It happen to me as well. But i just make sure i force a delete Data and it got off it.
I was in rooted stock.
I flash an incomplete Team Sonic rom.
Dawn download...
I try to restore it wont boot, i flash the Cf root with odin that got me on a loop, i then did a force data delete and done.
Not the same in the way but might help.
So freak out, no rom no back up
Hahaha

If you're trying to flash i9505 onto i9500
That's the first problem, different chip sets wherein probably lies the issue. Flash what is built for Qualcomm on Qualcomm based phones, Same goes for Exynos, don't try to mix and match.
You should run SPRINT ROMs to.start off. Its possible to run Verizon ROMs with working 3G with some small edits.

Go to the sprint galaxy s4 forum, it's definitely your problem. Try any rom, they are all good, and once you are comfortable with the rom, try a custom kernel for your rom. And read the thread about the rom you're flashing, lot of times there's good tips and options you otherwise wouldn't know about...

wow you really are BRAND new to posting see you got one post, well Welcome to the community. Now to your dilemma all those roms you tried to flash are not mad for our phones so you were in the wrong forum when you downloaded those roms. Now you can use those roms as long as you flash a SPRINT kernel after flashing one of those roms. Now your not guaranteed to get data working it's been hit or miss for many. Try flashing one of the roms from our Dev section, you'll be happy

He can only flash I9505 roms I9500 roms could brick his phone because it is ment for the international exynos version. I9505 roms are fine if you flash a sprint kernel after flashing the rom because they have the same hardware other than the cellular radios are different. (Depending on the rom data or voice or both might not work) I would not recommend flashing and roms not intended for the SPH L720 because I havent been able to get data on any of thoose roms. Hope this helps.

I have the Verizon GS4 and I understand there is also the VZ GS4 Original Android Development and Android Development. Can i flash these generic GS4 Roms and kernels on my VZ GS4 also?
I came from the HTC Rezound which was VZ exclusive so i don't know the intricacies of flashing ROMs between carriers.
TL;DR Will generic i9505 GS4 ROMs work on the VZ GS4? (safe?)

Hi,
I believe it is OK to flash ROMS on your phone,BUT make sure you only flash type specific modems.

There happens to be one or more threads covering this in some detail in the Verizon GS4 forum. It is not as simple as just flashing the rom and being good to go with no other effort. Also DO NOT flash an i9505 kernel on your phone.
Go to the Verizon forum and read what's been posted. If you don't, the best case scenario for you is that you'll be staring at your phone as it it refuses to boot into the os and tells you that unauthorized software has been detected and to bring it to a Verizon store. Worst case is that you brick it by flashing another device's kernel.

need advice on which fully functioning rom will work on my rogers galaxy s4?also how to root?unlock?I have flashed htc windows devices years ago but pretty new to android,was reading one thread but like a thousand pages,wow!!!any advice would be apreciated.
Best place to start is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314494
As for ROM recommendations, that's one you'll have to find on your own. We generally don't allow recommendations on threads lest they attract trolls/fanbois and hijack your thread. Besides... you'll never find what you like if you don't explore a little bit.
Best of luck and welcome!

For rooting, look up CF-auto root or kingo root, CF-auto uses odin pc so you may want to read up on that, I use version 3.07, others have used 3.09. For rom choices, you want to make sure you are selecting a rom for i337m, there are also roms for i337 which is the at&t version, if it doesn't specify Canada or i337m I would stay away from it. There are ASOP (sort of a vanila rom) and touch wiz roms suggest you read up on the differences. To flash any rom you need a custom recovery, I use TWRP version 2.6 some say to use 2.5 and I would suggest staying away from the latest and greatest since I have seen a lot of issues using the newest versions. Some people use Philz recovery which I am not familiar with but have seen quite a few successes with it. The last option is clockwork recovery, though I have used it in the past it can be finicky and I have seen people have a few issues with it. Lastly unlocking, if you going to unlock, I would skip all the free methods and use a reputable service like unlocker.com or something like that.... again read up before hand.
Best advice I can give, if your going to try something, read a lot make sure you know what your doing and be paitent, some processes look like they are doing nothing but allow them to finish.....

All S4 ROMs run on all variants, with the exception of the i9500 octa core version. So you can flash anything, but the ROMs in the development section here that mention jfltecan or Canadian S4 or I337m are the best. I've also heard T-Mobile ROMs are the next best for you, and keep in mind there are also the unified ROMs with one zip for all variants.
The iB4STiD variants have been working great for me. The GPE and TW versions.
Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314494 3 or 4 times. Familiarize yourself with kernels and roms that work with i337m. Read as much as you can. The general section has so much useful info. Good luck.

I feel like I've spent two whole days downloading and flashing stuff on my phone, and to no avail, nothing has worked. In your opinion, what's the best way to get _________ ROM on your AT&T Galaxy S4? I'm currently downgrading from NB1 to MK2 because I thought it'd be easier, but I thought I should ask everyone else first. I'd honestly just like to get Cyanogen Mod on my phone and call it a day, so what would be the easiest way to go about it?
Edit: I can root my phone just fine, but I'm basically asking for what version my phone should have as well as the easiest procedure to get me a custom ROM on my phone.
Currently there is no way to install AOSP/AOKP ROMs. The ROMs that can be installed are listed in the all things att thread
