[Q] How to flash the newest ROM by friedrich420 on unlocked Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505?

Hello everyone! In advance, i would like to say that i am new in android, since i have owned 3 different iphones (3g, 4 and 5) all of them jailbroken. Android OS seems far better and the xda-developers team is number 1 in android mastering, so i would like for someone to guide me how to CORRECTLY flash this rom by friedrich420 to 4.3, since i have never done it before in my life. I have read about odin and the several steps i need to make to install this rom, but i am very afraid of bricking my phone. What should i do first? I have downloaded Odin_307.zip; philz_touch_5.18.5-i9505.tar.md5; Modem_XXUEMJ5_[GT-I9505]; EchoeRom_v5_18Oct. Is it 1. root 2. backup 3. flash ROM 4. Flash modem?....i own an unlocked, never rooted version of Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505, bought in the UK. Heres the about info:
Model number: GT-I9505

[Q] omnirom

Hello,
I have just gotten a Samsung Galaxy S4 from Sprint
SW and Baseband version read the same: L720TVPUAMK5
Hardware version: L720T.03
Model Number: SPH-L720T
Android Version: 4.3
Kernel Version:
3.4.0-2099174
[email protected] #1
Build Number: JSS15J.L720TVPUAMK5
SELinux status:
Enforcing
SEPF_SPH-L720T_4.3_0012
Secure boot status: Type: Samsung
I was planning on putting omnirom on it. (I am new to this and several friends have recommended this so I thought I would give it a shot.) I have followed run saferoot and finished all of the steps. It appears to have worked as I now have hotspot capability. I am wondering if anyone can point me to instructions video or text that would explain the steps for omnirom or cyanogen mod. I wanted to try omnirom first but if there are issues I will try cyanogen mod.
Thanks for any help

Just go to the CM thread and follow the instructions on therr to get you up and running. I'm not 100% it will work since all Roms are built for l720 and you are l720t.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S 4 SCH-I959 - China Telecom - Installing Original Google Firmware

Hi Guys,
I am not a pro at this, i have this China Telecom SG S4 which is loaded with the company branded firmware with China Telecom splash screen and all and in addition to that it has many Chinese apps which i don't need and does not have google play etc. is there some way i can change the firmware and make it like a normal factory unlocked S4 would be? Listing below some details if they could be of any assistance.

I have the same phone/question.. Im really frusturated that no one has responded to this thread yet

I would assume it is similar to the sgh-i9505 because that is the international version. Download the app cpu-z and see if your hardware is the same as serannoltexx. If so then flash current twrp via Odin, use cf autoroot to gain for privileges then make a Nandroid and you are now safe to try flashing various s4 roms. Please know I am not an expert, s4 mini is my first android but I've been using it for a few years now.

[ROM] (Problem with Samsung S4 SGH-I337)

Hello to all developers in the forum. I want desperately your help because i messed up with my phone.
Recently i changed rom to my device. I think that it had the stock firmware from its factory which it was 4.2.2 (i am not so sure).
I updated to 4.3 rom through many difficulties.
The information i can give you is this:
Model Number: SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
Android Version: 4.3
Baseband Version: I337UCUEMK2
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-1921628 KST 2013
Build Number: JSS15J.I337UCUEMK2
I would appreciate any help because my wifi doesn't work as well as the data,the keybord and many other applications. I think that i didnt install the correct kernel. All i did was through odin because i cant install rom through recovery mode. I also cant return to factory mode. PLEASE HELP ME
sammobile.com. didnt work for me!!!

Boot the phone into download to confirm the model #.
Do you see anything about Knox or warranty bit in download mode?
