[Q] Help with FLASHING ROMS ETC...

Hi guys I'm new here and need some help...
I am currently using a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 on baseband version XXUBMGA. I have rooted and installed TWRP v2.5.0.0.
1) I have TWRP v2.5.0.0 and I want to update to TWRP v2.5.0.2, can i just flash the latest version through Odin? Or do I need to remove the older version of TWRP first? If so, how?
2) I'm looking for a rom for my phone like the Google Edition but with more features, however I want the phone to be stable and be able to be used as a daily driver. I have seen a rom called JellyBam, has anyone had any experience with it and if so, was it good?
I would like to go with CynagoenMod but there are only nightlies for the i9505 and I heard they are unstable with a lot of bugs, is this true? Is the latest version stable?
Cheers!

Hi,
1. No you don't need to remove, just flash the newer version over the one you have. Usually you will find this information on TWRP thread on first pages.
2. To keep features of the phone, just check development forums for I9505 and read more about the custom ROMS available there and what people saying about and you gonna be able to decide yourself what suits you best.
Cheers

1) flash it with odin, it will replace the old one.
2) you can try roms and decide. (read posts on rom threads to have an idea)
Thanks both for the replies, greatly appreciated! I will have a look at the section here on XDA and decide Thank for the help!

Question Installation Custom Rom S4 MK2

Hello
i was trying to install a custom rom on my galaxy s4 but after going through some topics i m kind of unsure about it.
its an att phone
my model number says I337
and the baseband is MK2.
most of the roms i found say something about att i9...
with reading some topics i just have the feeling that the MK2 is "special" and i cant just use any rom.
can someone help me and let me know which roms will work (download link would be appreciated). i planned to go with either google edition 4.4 or cyanogen mod. (if there is anything better please let me know)
and if i need any other software (for backup etc).
i already rooted the phone with saferoot. i just dont know how to get a custom rom on there now.
thank you for your help it greatly appreciated.
As far as i know you can't run custom roms on the i33, AT&T has it so locked down it can't be done

Some help please.... =)

Hi all.
I have a note 4, running into some problems here....
Im from the UK with a N910FXXU1ANK4 snapdragon edition. I'm unable to run Rapture by Ib4stid from the t-mobile section.
So im trying to get back to stock which ive done via backup! I need a stock recovery though. Could someone please help, or even better, does someone have this complete firmware?
I also don't suppose if anyone knows why rapture didn't work for me?
All help will be much appreciated!
Ajay
I am not really sure what rapture is but you may flash stock rom the firmware should be available on sammobile.com check there site once.
Hi friend, thanks for the quick reply. I've checked there, but all slots always full lol. Even just a STOCK recovery for my rom would help?

Cannot install any Custom ROMs after root sm-N910f

Hi all, this is my first ever post so please bear with me!
I have a Note 4 sm-910f. I rooted recently and have the latest TWRP installed. I have tried to install a number of ROMs but:
If I install AOSP based I get a "Failed" error and a note to say that the ROM is not the correct one for the device - it seems to get my device wrong too?!
If I install a Touchwiz ROM such as NoteX it appears to flash OK but it just keeps bootlooping upon restart.
Any ideas? Could it be anything to do with the modem or bootloader? I'm currently on stock 5.0.1.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Cheers

Hi, thanks for the quick response.
I did mean X-note. I have tried a number of other ROMs too, Aliance - Emotion Revolution.
Right now I tried flashing a new bootloader/modem as per this ROM "http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/rom-robomix-t3069298" but now I'm stuck in a complete bootloop!!
I think I need to get the correct bootloader and/or modem - I just don't have a clue why or what is what. I an't find any guides!

Need Help Fresh Install of Stock 6.0

I did a mistake, it is possible to move this thread on help section?
Hi all, today ASUS released the OTA but in some days the full rom will be also avaible.
I want to do a fresh install but i don't know how do this :crying:
I was a Samsung S2 Plus user and there was really easy flash something but on ZF2 with fastboot and recovery i don't know where go.
I am using full stock ROM unroot never touched. There is a SAFE way to flash a full firmware? I read that someone deleted some partition and IMEI was lost
Thanks for the help.

LightDestory.
