Before you start let me make it clear that, I don't own this device or don't have any connection with it. I put this thread only because my friend from Chandigarh, India requested me to do a guide on customizing this device. So, I collected information from members related to this device & from other forums.
The Roms listed here are not my works, so it may or may not work with your device. I tried my level best to make it as simple as it can.

Hello guys.
I will show u the way how you can install cwm recovery mod on your android device using android application.
It's much easier then using adb command (for some users) .
First you need to download mobile_uncle _tool.apk.
You can download it from google play store or from this link: DOWNLOAD
Then you need to download cwm recovery from their official site or just google cwm and your device name.
When you download recovery, copy file to root on sd card and rename it to "recovery".
Note: if is recovery zipped, unzip it using winrar or 7-zip and rename it to recovery and copy into root of sd card.
Open mobile_uncle_tools and press "flash recovery from sd card", select recovery.iso and then program will do everything.
Your phone will reboot into new recovery.
Done
Cheers :highfive:
GUIDE: HOW TO INSTALL/UPDATE ROM WITHOUT STATUS 7 ERRORS
p.s this guide is totally noob friendly and to the best of what I could explain. But then again, I don't mind replying to kindergarten-noob level queries either.
Okay, this is for those who face these Status 7 Errors, don't panic, I found a partial-but-working fix. Your phone is not corrupted. Just follow these steps to get out:
Method 1:
1) You can simply quit Recovery Mode and go back to using your ROM as it is (that is only if you haven't Wiped Data).
2) Once you're phone's booted, download ROM Manager from the Play Store
3) Using USB Mass Storage, copy the ROM (zip) file to your internal drive.
4) Then (obviously) unplug/turn-off the USB Mass Storage mode and go to the ROM Manager app.
5) Click on Install ROM from SD Card (which means internal over here, idk why) and select the ROM. Ignore step 6 if you don't want to backup.
6) This is optional, but if you wish to come back to this ROM later click on Backup
7) Click on wipe-data if you're upgrading to another ROM (from CM10.1>CM10.2 or CM10.2>CM11) or ignore this step if you're flashing a new build (nightly/alpha)
8) The ROM will be flashed and you're good to go. If you're upgrading to a new nightly/alpha build, ignore step 8.
ONLY IF YOU'RE UPDATING TO ANOTHER ROM:
Just before the bootanimation, be ready to take out your battery and go to recovery mod with the combo keys (Volume Up+Power) and flash Gapps. (Preferably from this)
Method 2:
1) You can simply quit Recovery Mode and go back to using your ROM as it is (that is only if you haven't Wiped Data).
2) Once you're phone's booted, download ROM Manager from the Play Store
3) Using USB Mass Storage, copy the ROM (zip) file to your internal drive.
4) Reboot to Recovery
5) Flash the zip and reboot to recovery, again, and flash Gapps. (Preferably from this)
Oh and make sure to go to this thread and thank them for the gapps

Reserved. Will post some later
Normally this problem is rather easy to solve
1: If you have the error at the beginning of flash you need to do a factory reset wip
2: If the error appears when the symlink you need to format the system
the gapps and other files. sh are the cause of this problem
Remember that the i9003 can only use 230 mb clean flash
if you do not do a full wip factory and format system welcome to STATUS 7 ERRORS MouHaHa ?§!
if you change rom author does not expect to keep your data!
Really good tutorials by both of u...:good:

Here is a meathod to flash stock/custom kernel using UKF for those who are new to these things
Q: What is UKF ?
UKF is UNIVERSAL KERNEL FLASHER developed by @frapeti Original thread
Playstore link- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.frapeti.ukflash2
Prerequisites-
1. A Galaxy S4 (I9500/I9505)
2. The phone must be rooted
3. Any Stock/Custom kernel
Procedure-
-For Stock kernel
1. Download UKF from Playstore.
2. Extract the Firmware package whose kernel you want to flash there u will get boot.img file.
3. Copy that boot.img file to your SD card
4. Open UKF, Press "Select a Kernel Image (bin/img/md5)"
5. Select that boot.img file that you previously copied to your SDcard
6. Then Press 'Flash Kernel Image'
7. Thats it click on reboot and its done
-For Custom Kernel
1. Download UKF from Playstore.
2. Extract the .zip file of the kernel you want to flash.You will get a file with .img , .bin or .md5 extension

This meathod is more useful for those who want to flash stock kernels as their flashable zips are not available.
Others who may not want to use custom recovery can find it useful
BUT DO IT CAREFULLY SELECTING WRONG IMAGE FILE CAN RESULT IN HARDBRICK TOO
HIT THANKS IF YOU FIND IT USEFUL
