Before you start let me make it clear that, I don't own this device or don't have any connection with it.

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
3. Copy that file to your SD card
4. Open UKF, Press "Select a Kernel Image (bin/img/md5)"
5. Select that file that you previously copied to your SDcard
6. Then Press 'Flash Kernel Image'

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

Sent from my GT-I9500 using XDA Free mobile app
THIS THERAD WILL NO LONGER BE UPDATED. TAKE A LOOK ON MY UNIFIED GUIDES/COLLECTION
CLEAN & DIRTY FLASH STOCK OR CUSTOM ROM
Note: These guides have mostly specific links for the S4 GT-I9505 Roms TWRP, Modems & Bootloaders but the steps are the same for all other S4 Models - You just need to find specific Roms,TWRP, Modems & Bootloaders for your device model. You can take a look at "Usefull Links" section below.
THIS IS A COMPLETE GUIDE FOR THE BEST CLEAN INSTALL OF A CUSTOM OR STOCK ROM FROM THE SCRATCH:
1*. Download a stock LOLLIPOP Rom from here or here (doesn't really matter which country you will choose, just be sure to download one of the latests firmwares-recommend is QK1 or PK2) and recommend is latest QK1Modem / QK1Bootloader or PK2Modem / PK2Bootloader. For the all others Modems/Bootloaders, you can find them here. Also Download a windows program Odin. Next, move all your personal data such pictures,music etc from your internal storage to your external sd card or to your pc.*
2*. If you are going to flash a Custom Rom, Download the Custom Rom you want (Recommened any JDC Roms of your preference), Pico or Nano Gapps (or Super Gapps if you have a custom gapps-confg file) be sure you have choosed Platform: ARM and the proper android version of the rom you are going to flash) [If the Rom you want to flash include Gapps, no need to download and flash any Gapps at all] and the latest Magisk for root. After you finished with downloads move your Custom Rom,Magisk,Gapps to one folder in ur external sdcard. *
3. Reboot to Download Mode(power button+vol.down+home button) and Flash TWRP 3.3.1-1 or JDC TWRP 3.3.1-0 via Odin. (You put the .tar file in AP)
4*. Reboot to TWRP Recovery (power button+vol.up+home button) go to Advanced-File Manager-external_sd and delete all folders on ur ext sd card (For example you should delete: Android, .android_secure, LOST.DIR, DCIM, etc) except your personal files/folders and the folder with your custom Rom/Magisk/Gapps you want to flash. *
5. Now still on TWRP select Wipe-Format Data and type yes-then go back and press-Advanced Wipe-Select Dalvik / ART Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage, Cache and then Swipe to Wipe.
6. Now Boot to Download Mode(power button+vol.down+home button) and Flash Stock LOLLIPOP Rom via Odin. (You put the file in AP section)
7*. When Stock Rom is Flashed go to Odin again,
Reboot your device to Download Mode, connect it to PC and put Modem(CP Section) Untick Auto Reboot in options, flash it and reboot your device to system by holding Power Button.
Then Reboot to Download Mode again, put the Bootloader(BL Section) and do the same steps as before.
Check what Modem and BL you have, if Modem and BL didn't changed do the same steps again.
If for some reason Odin fail to flash, try to change USB Port in your PC and don't move the cable during flash. Also if you have Odin and the files on an External hard drive, move Odin and all the files you want to flash to your C: drive.*
8. Now Reboot to Download Mode once again and Flash TWRP 3.3.1-1 or JDC TWRP 3.3.1-0 via Odin. (You put the .tar file in AP)
9. Reboot to TWRP(power button+vol.up+home button) and do the steps 4. and 5. Then flash your Custom Rom--->Magisk--->Pico or Nano Gapps (or Super Gapps if you have a custom gapps-confg file) (If Rom doesn't include).
10. Let the Rom boot and Install Magisk Manager manually if it's not preinstalled. Enjoy!
1*For Stock Rom to have your WiFi working you need to have the same version of Modem/BL as your Firmware. For example if you have PK2 Stock Rom then you need to have PK2 Modem/BL.
On Custom Roms doesn't matter. You can have any of the latest Modem/BL you want but recommend is QK1.
If you want to use KitKat Rom custom or Stock you should flash the proper KitKat Modem/Bootloader. It will not work if you have Lollipop.
2*Skip the step 2. if you are going to flash only Stock Rom.
4*Each app on your phone with the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission may create files or folders in ur sdcard. Most of these folders have once been created by one of these apps and many of them may be deleted with a few exceptions (e.g. Android, .data, .android_secure, these contain important system or app data like a game's downloaded content):
.android_secure: apps installed and then moved to sdcard
Android: app data/cache
data: app data
.estrongs: ES file manager
LOST.DIR: sort of trash folder (collects recovered files after phone crashes)
DCIM: phone gallery's photos and previews
OTA-update: Over The Air update service
ppy_cross: an unknown third-party app's data.
So I recommend to delete them so you can put your phone/sdcard in a clean state and is guaranteed to be able to re-create these folders.
7*If you wanted only to flash stock Rom you done on step 7. If you have any problem with Force Close Apps etc go to Settings->Accounts->Backup and reset->Factory data reset.
***** You can follow the same steps for other variants too but you need to find and choose the proper Firmware-Rom/Modem-Bootloader/TWRP for your variant. *****
THIS IS A COMPLETE GUIDE FOR CLEAN INSTALL OF A CUSTOM ROM BUT NOT FROM THE SCRATCH:
1. Download the custom Rom you want (Recommened any JDC Roms of your preference), Magisk for root solution and Pico or Nano Gapps (or Super Gapps if you have a custom gapps-confg file)[If the Rom you want to flash include Gapps, no need to download and flash any Gapps at all], be sure you have choosed Platform: ARM and the proper android version of the rom you are going to flash. Then move all those files to one folder in ur sdcard.
2*.Reboot to Download Mode(power button+vol.down+home button) and Flash TWRP 3.3.1-1 or JDC TWRP 3.3.0-0 via Odin. (You put the .tar file in AP)*
3.Reboot to TWRP Recovery (power button+vol.up+home button), go to Advanced-File Manager-external_sd and delete all folders on ur ext sd card (For example you should delete: Android, .android_secure, LOST.DIR, DCIM, etc) except your personal files/folders and the folder with your custom Rom/Magisk/Gapps you want to flash.
4. Now still on TWRP select Wipe-Format Data and type yes-then go back and press-Advanced Wipe-Select Dalvik / ART Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage, Cache and then Swipe to Wipe.
5. Flash your Custom Rom--->Magisk--->Gapps.
6. Let the Rom boot and Install Magisk Manager manually if it's not preinstalled. Enjoy!
2*Skip the step 2 if you already have TWRP Recovery installed.
THIS IS A COMPLETE GUIDE FOR DIRTY INSTALL OVER YOUR CUSTOM ROM:
1. [Optional]Make a full nandroid backup., just in case something goes wrong. You can use TWRP to do that. (TWRP-->Backup-->Select everything)
2. Uninstall all Substratum overlays if you have any installed.
3. Remove previous root solution with Magisk Unistaller and optional UnSU to ensure all root remnants are gone. (TWRP-->Flash the unistaller.)
4. Reboot to TWRP and Wipe system, cache and art / dalvik.
5. Flash the Rom-->Magisk-->Gapps.
6. Reboot and Enjoy!
***** I've skipped some explanations, because if you are going to dirty flash, you already know for example how to boot to TWRP . *****
USEFUL LINKS (USB DRIVER, TWRP, ODIN, PIT FILES, ROOT-MAGISK, FIRMWARES, MODEMS AND BOOTLOADERS)

4. Done! Check what Modem and BL you have, if Modem and BL didn't changed do the same steps again.
If for some reason Odin failed to flash, try to change USB Port in your PC and don't move the cable during flash. Also if you have Odin and the files on an External hard drive, move Odin and all the files you want to flash to your C: drive.
Some explanation:
- For Stock Rom to have your WiFi working you need to have the same version of Modem/BL as your Firmware. For example if you have QK1 Stock Rom then you need to have QK1 Modem/BL.
- On Custom Roms doesn't matter. You can have any of the latest Modem/BL you want but recommend is the latest QK1 for GT-I9505 or the latest for your variant.
Great Tutorial, thanks @Retrial!
I wanted to ask if you could add some additional hints, e.g. like you did in response to a question of @InTheY2K here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78100797&postcount=2175
Then I realized, you've already done so. Thanks again!
But I've got some additional questions:
In step 4 you describe how to clean external sd. In step 5 you advise to clean internal storage. But if you wipe internal storage, all personal data (e.g. downloaded files, music etc) is lost. Wouldn't it be sufficient to delete the same folders as on external sd card and leave the personal folders?
In step 6 you flash an actual lollipop rom, in step 7 modem and bootloader. I thought an actual stock rom comes with modem and bootloader, so that a separate flash of modem and bootloader would not be neccessary. Am I wrong?
As this is a guide for clean flash, one could not expect to find information about a dirty flash . But I think, this is the best place to at least leave a hint to a place where this information can be found. I remember @Buff99 has one for his roms. @Buff99, @Retrial - wouldn't it be a good idea to add this information directly or as a link to this description?
Additional question: When reading the post with my beloved i9505 and XDA Labs I can't see the colour difference in the asterisks, they all look the same. Perhaps you can replace them with additional ones (meaning *, **, ***) or list your remarks with the corresponding number from your main list (meaning 1), 2) etc.)

We are doing the best clean install from the scratch so the internal storage must be wiped. You should move all your personal data in your sdcard before you wipe. I will add it as clue to the guide.
In step 6 you flash an actual lollipop rom, in step 7 modem and bootloader. I thought an actual stock rom comes with modem and bootloader, so that a separate flash of modem and bootloader would not be neccessary. Am I wrong?
That's not exactly true. If you have an old modem/bootloader and u flash for example PK2 firmware, you will not have same Modem/BL as ur firmware and then ur WiFi etc will not work. Flashing Stock Rom doesn't change them. You need to separate flash them.
As this is a guide for clean flash, one could not expect to find information about a dirty flash . But I think, this is the best place to at least leave a hint to a place where this information can be found.

Hmm yeah this guide is for clean flash, but probably I will say something for dirty flash too.

Maybe the xda app has some issues. I've added numbers near asterisks, I guess it can help. Thanks for feedback.

No, FQA1 should be the latest for your variant.
However, all the steps in my guide are the same for all variants. You just need to find the latest Firmware/Modem/Bootloader/TWRP for your variant.

Where can I find the latest FQA1 firmware other than SamMobile? The firmware from that website is only available for premium members.
EDIT: I couldn't find the FQA1 firmware in SamMobile. Where else can I find it?
