Hi,

Have fun

Wouldn't do much good until a workable bootloader unlock is released...

i'm moving this to the Q/A forum.
Please do not post in the dev forums unless it is directly development related.

For your info, I have a Canadian variant and I can confirm that the bootloader is already unlocked.
If any dev/themer need a dump, let me know.....

You said i337. That's the US AT&T version. If you have the Canadian variant, you have the i337M.

My bad,
I used to have the i747m S3 using AT&T ROM so I made confusion between ATT S4 variant (i337) and Canadian Rogers one (i337M).
bootloader a side, the only problem would be the dev of Omega giving permission for sharing said port. I know he didn't give permission for Omega on AT&T Note 2. If you did port it, you can use it yourself but you couldn't share with the community.

If you have any programming experience, or even if you have none, Android is a great place to start, and porting roms will give you the necessary skillset to do almost anything, especially if you have to do kernel work. It's not super hard to do, and you're on the best informational resource there is. I doubt Omega would allow it to be ported, but as RMXO said, you can do whatever you want as long as you don't try to release it and take credit for other people's work.

First you should head over the I9500 forums. Then install CWM then Omega.

Nope you can no longer downgrade to 4.3 after flashing 4.4.2 stock rom.have a nice day.
So if he flashes a 4.3 ROM via Odin, what would happen? Brick?

any opinions on trying this ? Thanks!
on youtube i saw a person using i9505 having kitkat.he downgraded from 4.4.2 to 4.3 using mobile odin. n it worked well.
as mobile odin is not supported on i9500 we cant do this.
but the important thing is that he downgraded.that means it is possible.
please devs..help us guys.please.i am fed up of kitkat n i am on the same boat to have jellybean back.
one more thing, what if we flash jellybean custom rom over kitkat.will it work ?

post the link to this video
/ I found it - nothing new - familiar things
Sometimes it is possible to downgrade, but for sure my friend, then u won't have wifi and/or sound
tapatalked by an Echoenian on old b/l without knox
What if he installs a custom 4.3 rom?
Would that work? can he install the custom rom in recovery? or that would brick the phone because of the new bootloader?

downgrade always possible but there are problems
example
sound, calls
can be fixed using a custom kernel, mods, etc.
but this did not benefit
why necessary ? 4.4.2 is better
question is downgrade and reset Knox
it is
everything else is nothing
confirmed for I9500 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2686882

Only wifi but fixed by flashing a custom kernel. But every time i rebooted, i had to re-connect to my router again.
Hey im looking through the forums and noticing that there isnt any part for this model . does anyone know of how to root it on 4.3?
I guess Chainfire hasn´t made a Autoroot for the I9507 yet.

Hey there,
When I first got this phone, there were problems with the phone being locked in such a way that it couldn't be flashed with a new recovery/ROM.
I have looked through the various subs, but it's not obvious to me, so I wanted to ask. Is it possible to flash S4's now with custom recoveries and ROMs?
Thanks in advance,
Sebastian

Its possible.
Its easy.
There are lots of options to choose from.
any chance you could point me in the right direction? Last time I tried (admittedly, some time ago), there were zero options because everything was locked down by samsung.
