[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.

4.4.4 GPE Custom Rom just received Lollipop upgrade

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

Samsung S4 with gpe custom mod
Just received it too, it is safe to upgrade? I'm curious.

Newbie Question :)

Is cm 12.1 stable as a daily driver for gs5 ? I really think I should try. I'm on lollipop 5.0 not rooted anymore. Also on last question, will the new touchwiz be available on gs5 as on gs6?

If you want stability stick with stock.

Stock already is full of lags. With lollipop my phone is much slower. Maybe because of art I don't know. Will the new touchwiz be available for s5?

If your phone lags on Lollipop TochWiz make a factory reset. Lollipop TouchWiz doesn`t really have lag. New S6 TouchWiz probably won`t be available for S5 but you can root your phone and install S6 ROM (you can find them in Galaxy S5 Android development section).

Galaxy i9505 Overheating after the Lollipop update

My Galaxy S4 i9505 is overheating after the Android 5.0.1 update...
Is there any solution to fix that....???

Lollipop is still buggy even though its veen out for so long if you dont care about lollipop try a downgrade with odin. Downgrade helped me with a battery issue. If you want to keep lollipop downgrade root and flash a rom and you can keep lollipop and no problems.

Is it possible to downgrade to Kitkat....???

It may be possible, but if I recall, it's not easy to do. You may be better off rooting, if not already rooted, and installing a custom ROM. Custom ROMs generally don't care which baseband is installed.

1. Our device isn't approved for 6.0 Marshmallow.
2. It's GearCM 13.0, but still in Alpha phase and develops slower due to the fact that the dev has his phone started to defunct.
And @marcosmdaniel,
1. But our device was approved for 5.1.1 update.
2. What do you mean that he broke your phone?

Researching again, and:
PA1 for GT-I9505 and OL1 for GT-I9500 are the last. Very unfortunate.
