Well...
Which 4.4.4 Custom rom do you want to flash..??
Check the firnware on which the ROM is based..you ought to have the same firmware..
Never flash anything for i9505 on i9500 or i9506.
I9505 Roms are specific for i9505
I9500 ROMS are specific fora I9500
Have a backup. If anything goes wrong you can always restore the old rom without any data loss.
Always follow the steps in the OP. NEVER TRY ANYTHING BY YOURSELF, because devs do know better than us.
Things you need:
The custom ROM
A custom recovery
The same firmware as is it in the rom.
Just flash the rom by following steps in the Original Thread of the rom..

There are many roms availabe mate..you have to select what suits you..like the S5 looking roms or the AOSP or AICP..Check in the GALAXY S4 I9500 Android Developement...
Nothing india or usa specific..
You ought to have the firmware..just that..
Like if a roms is based on XXUGNG8 then flash XXUGNG8 official firmware, Install recovery and flash the zip of the ROM. Just dont flash a network specific rom..

For the ROM's firmware, read the thread. Devs generally say based on XYZ Firmware.
For the official firmware

Can I flash a i9505 custom rom, like CM11 ?

Android version : 4.4.2

Flash a custom recovery via ODIN and out SuperSU zip file on an sdcard, then boot the phone directly on recovery mode and flash the mentioned zip file.
You have now successfully rooted your phone.
Note that knox counter will be tripped with this method

What recovery work with my phone model ?
And, what's the supersu zip, I only have .tar.md5 file

SM-G900P with SM-G900F Firmware?

So just bought an S5 on ebay, seems to work OK and is on Android 5
I have another S5 and it's on Android 6.0.1 so I thought I'd connect the new one to PC and update.
But it claimed to have the latest firmware installed already???
So tried to manually install using Odin 3.10.6 and got a secureboot check fail message.
BUT then I read the product name, and it states it is an SM-G900P NOT and F!
Yet under the battery inside the phone it says model is SM-G900F???
So how did this USA phone model get a UK firmware installed on it?
And why doesnt it let me install the latest UK firmware using Odin?
And if I download the 900P file from sammobile, will it lock my mobile to a US network?
Just checked and this phone is rooted, and in the recovery mode I can see it's actually G900PVPU3BOG1 Not G900FXXU1BOI3

Hello Dude You Can Try To Download A G900F Custom Rom and it will work fine 100%stable on g900p if stable on g900f
my phone is g900v and i've installed a g900f custom rom ??

I am not into modding phones really.
Where is the best place to get a stable ROM? Cyanogenmod?

DO NOT FLASH A G900F tar.md5 on your G900P!!!! you CAN flash the g900P ROM in TWRP on a G900F, but dont cross the beams!! aka dont use a firmware not meant for your phone!! Resurrection remix has a killer ROM for most G900's. Root, TWRP it, and ROM it if you want to mod
