4.4.4 GPE Custom Rom just received Lollipop upgrade - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I'm sorry if my question is weird or badly formulated but I am a total newbie at this.
I flashed my Galaxy S4 2 months ago using the GPE 4.4.4 custom Rom from DanVDH which I found on this site.
I love that ROM and have been using it ever since.
A few minutes ago, my phone warned me that a 5.0.0 system update just became available.
Should I just install it as I would if my phone was using the official image ? i.e. no need for backup, just click install and go for it ?
Thanks

I'm not sure about completely untouched GE roms, but kangabean is an amazing GE rom I recommend that.

Of course there is an untouched GE 4.3 ROM. Just download it from here:

It's from the i9505 forum, but it is the same phone, and works fine. I am running it myself.
Just make sure you already have a custom recovery on the i337 first. I prefer CWM because it auto loki's your ROMs for you.

[Q] At&t Samsung Galaxy S4 sgh-i337 mfc 4.2.2 [Where do I go from here?]

Hi, okay, so I've had my phone rooted for awhile.
I have a At&t Samsung Galaxy S4 sgh-i337mf3.
I've been using a minimalist rom given by someone on xda.
I love it, but now I'm thinking, is there something better.
1. Can I flash roms above 4.2.2 (i.e. 4.3, 4.4.2)
2. Would I have to update my phone using some odd technique?
3. What technique would you recommend for my build?
4. What rom would you recommend for my build?
Any help would be appreciated.
"mfc" ??
wow
MF3... I'm sorry... lol

To flash 4.4.2 roms you're going to have to upgrade the firmware and use safestrap. Read through this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49562527

[Q] Galaxy S4 Rooting Question

I managed to root my AT&T S4 successfully which is half the battle. I haven't flashed on this device yet but did a few times on my older Droid X. I am thinking of flashing GOOGLE EDITION 4.4.4 that I found on this site under ROMS. Is there like an easy process to flash roms?
Thanks
You need to tell us what firmware version you're on. Different versions have different methods to flash roms.

[Q] rooted S4 i9500-last updates

Friends,
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S4 i9500 and there is new update but I can not install because the device is rooted and it says updates can not be installed because your device has been modified, any solution please?
It is good is not working otherwise you would brick your phone. Wait for developers until they release a room with that update. Never try to install updates on a samsung rooted room. Cheers

You can update the phone downloading a firm from samy page, then flash it with odin.

Ok I need some advice lol.
Im new to rooting etc as I done my s3 i9300 ages ago and left it on ultimarom .
I got my s5 g901f today which I believe is a samsung s5 plus? Its been updated to lollipop and now on xxu1boc4?
Is it ok to use the auto root zip file I found online via odin? and if I wanted to flash a cwm recovery what one would I use? I dont want to brick my phone and I can see I dont have the g900 s5 so im unsure.
Anybody able to explain my phone to me? Thsnks in advance
