DISCLAIMER: You will be flashing your phone at your own risk. You are solely responsible for anything you do to your phone, so make sure you are well informed and well prepared before deciding to flash or install anything on your device.
The purpose of this thread is to provide a 'reference site' for anything related to ROMs and kernels, be it original stock, modified stock or custom images for the Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE-A Korean versions, starting with model SHV-E330S.
All comments and feedback are welcome and appreciated.
Reminders:
After flashing a new ROM image, it is highly recommended to perform a cache wipe and factory reset. Please avoid posting about problems repeatedly which can be easily solved by this procedure.
If you find that someone has been helpful in assisting you, then please do not shy away from hitting the THANKS button below their post; this is the preferred action instead of creating a new post just to show your gratitude

Warning:
Do not jump in blindly and flash any stock image you 'like'. PIT files are posted here for your information and to alert you to changes in partition configurations when they are introduced in a specific stock rom release. You MUST follow stock rom upgrade paths in the order they are being released; if you skip a release which contains changes to the partition configuration, problems may arise with any later version you flash.
PIT File
Use this PIT file when flashing with Odin, and ONLY if you have scr*wed up your default partitioning scheme due to specifying an incorrect one during a previous flash. Normally there is NO NEED to specify a PIT file when flashing with Odin!

Pre Rooted stock ROMs
(Unfortunately, flashing these ROMs will trigger KNOX)
Rom images which are preloaded with Proxyme offer the following default functionality:
Default state after factory reset is - not rooted -
Proxyme offers live su binary control, and without the need to 'root' the phone, you have...
- SSH server with virtually unlimited user accounts, configurable with specific UID, GID, home directory and shell,
- execution of scripts with elevated privileges (sample debloating script included),
- tag along scripts for root ON and root OFF actions,
- busybox switch

Is the pre-rooted Android 4.3 Rom an SKT one? Or is it a debloated one?
I'm currently running 4.3, rooted. (after bricking it yesterday....! This device, a gift from a friend, has been a real pain for me the last 2 days)
What I'm now looking for is a way to get rid of the SMS 70char. limit, and also a way to enable SMS delivery notification...

It's the SKT (E330S) version and is full stock, with addition of the chinese samsung IME to support full screen handwriting of chinese and korean languages. Debloating (incl removal of knox components) is simple with help of tools like Titanium Backup and ES File Explorer; the reason I no longer upload debloated versions is due to the sheer size of these rom images and the limited storage space and bandwidth I have with my mediafire subscription.
The SMS size limit has been set to 160 and you can enter and send a batch of 5 messages at once, before it changes to being an MMS message. I haven't tested the SMS delivery notification, but I have enabled the menu item to set it.
Haven't tweaked the rom too much and left it in stock as much as possible. Most important was to provide a rooting mechanism without compromising the custom binary counter.

OK, implementing the SMS/MMS delivery notification was easy by editing the "feature" file in "system/csc/". I'm pretty sure I can also change the SMS max size limit from there but can't find the right line...
How do you remove Knox components? I had froze everything with "Knox" using Titanium Backup, and the result was s bricked device after a reboot (had to flash a stock 4.3 again). I'm already fed up with all these security notifications
(sorry for these questions, I'm coming from a Note 2 anf this is my first Korean device, I'm not used to it at all)

For max number of sms before switch to mms:
Edit in /system/csc/customer.xml
Code:
<Messages>
<SMS>
<PageLimit>6</PageLimit>
<MsgTypeThreshold>
<ThresholdValue>6</ThresholdValue>
For sms size limit, edit /system/csc/feature.xml
Code:
<CscFeature_Message_SmsMaxByte>160</CscFeature_Message_SmsMaxByte>
To get rid of annoying Knox components, I deleted the following files in /system/app:
KLMSAgent.apk
KLMSAgent.odex
KNOXAgent.apk
KNOXAgent.odex
KnoxAttestationAgent.apk
KnoxAttestationAgent.odex
KNOXStore.apk
KNOXStore.odex
KNOXStub.apk
(No problems rebooting)
Man, thanks for all these good advises!!! I had frozen the same apps with Titanium, but the result was a bricked device. Now I removed the apk and the .odex files as you said, and knox is gone while keeping root!
I now can start really enjoying this S4, thanks to you
EDIT: I now have the "enable delivery Notification" in my MMS settings, but actually, even if enabled, I don't get the notification....I'll have to mess around the feature file again
Are the ROMS for E330K/L/S interchangeable or is there some difference in hardware?
