hello ..
i have galaxy s4 Lte (Jfltexx) running on Android 6.0 By CrDroid ..
i'm asking if i can flash another ROM ?
i mean i'm already running on Custom ROM and i want to change it to another custom ROM ..
so i have just to "clean install" (wipe system/cache - flash ROM.zip - flash Gapps...) or there's another method to do it ?
There's no other method, unless you want to risk having problems.

ROMs are all built differently and some have various tweaks under the hood.
Knowing that, do you really think it's a good idea to flash a ROM on top of a completely different ROM?
So, I may face problems and I may face not?
And what if flashed the original frimeware, and then flash the ROM I want to flash? Is that safer?
And thanks.

Just look for your stock ROM in the stock ROM thread.
is it safe to go back to stock kernel and rom using odin from any custom rom and kernel i flashed as long as i do it via odin?
yes

one last question do some custom roms for SGY modify the bootloader?

no - you do not need to replace bootloader files or repartition in odin - doing so could damage your device
you only need to include pda phone(modem) & csc

if i overclocked my device then flashed a fresh stock rom and kernel.. would the CPU return to default?

yes because you are flashing stock rom and kernel firmware - like I said - it will be like you switched the phone on for the first time
please search if you want more information
there are plenty of guides in the general section and on xda as a whole

It will HARD BRICK your device, you must flash the ROM which is meant for your device ONLY

for expl if i wanna flash a ROM of i9505 on my i9500 ?!
what could happen ?
Odin will refuse to install a stock ROM that does not match the model of S4 you try to install it on. This is a good thing, because using your example, at best the device would bootloop. More likely you would end up with a soft brick, as the processor of the I9500 is different from the processor for the I9505.
Flashing a custom ROM not intended for the device will have similar consequences, either a boot loop or soft brick.
Hey,
first sorry for my bad english and I hope you understand what I want to say.
I have flash my OnePlus2 full stock with fastboot and other methods and the phone starts normaly.
But I want use Paranoid Android and if I install Paranoid Android I have a bootloop. (I waited hours..)
I tried with follow recoveries:
Firmware Switch Zip
HybridRecovery from XDA Forum
Official TWRP for OnePlus 2
I have wiped all (flashed stock firmware)
I tried to install CyanogenMod 13 for OnePlus 2 and this doesnt work too.
I hope anyone can help me :c

Nope. Works for OS3 too. I believe the firmware is what's causing your bootloops. give it a shot.

I understand you want PA, but your firmware needs to be MM firmware. So you can either flash that or flash the official OS3 first then flash PA.

Too late bro, I've discovered that if you change the kernel of the rom (with one which is working with the new bootloader) you'll be able to boot it.
At least you made it. Good luck with your new ROM!
