Can't apply custom ROM's - General Questions and Answers

Hi guys,
As the title show, I can't flash my Galaxy S4 i9505.
Ver: 4.2.2
Base:I9505XXUMDN
Now it has been rooted from stock ROM (I337UCUAMDB_I337ATTAMDB_I337UCUAMDB_HOME.tar)
Also, i9505-cwm-recovery-6.0.3.2(0611) has been applied
I have tried all methods of updating versions 4.3 & 4.4
Every time I wipe and install an update, it isn't flashed and have to resort to the above stock.
One error the is reported , is the E=Signature
Here are some of the ROM's I have tried:
Arrow_ROM_v8.0.0_XXUBMH1
I9505XXUAMDN_I9505OXXAMDB_XEF
jfltespr_mja_test2
and
Pure-Google-pre-rooted-4.3-v2.3
Pure-Google-pre-rooted-deodexed-4.4-v1
What seems to be the problem? Must be something simple
Cheers

[Q] Installing original stock rom N8010: Fail

Hallo Forumianers and XDA-Freaks!
I've got a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8010 Wi-Fi only) and I got it two years ago with retail mode software on it. To get this retail s**t off, I flashed it with CWM and installed a custom rom with same functionality as the stock rom. I was happy with it until now. For some reasons I need to get original stock rom on it now (e.g. update capability by Samsung) and here my problem starts:
I downloaded N8010XXUCMA5 - Open Germany - JB 4.1.2 file, extracted the zip and flashed my N8010 with Odin 1.85 and the xxx.tar.md5 file. It worked perfectly until trying to write the boot.img data. At the very last second (actually 1 or 2 seconds before it should have been finished) the procedure failed with a red field in Odin and the word Failed in it.
Then I just tried to restart the device normal and I got the "DEAD-SCREEN" (An issue occurred while updating device... a.s.o.).
Frustrated from hours of work - I tried the same procedure three times with same result - and sleepy I decided to go back to a custom rom for now. So !! I flashed CWM on the N8010 by Odin and made a system restart.... !!!!! I couldn't believe: N8010XXUCMA5 rom started perfectly and works without any problems...
But my main problem stays: I can't use update functionality to update to newest Samsung version...
Does anybody have an idea on how to resolve this problem and just install original stock rom by Samsung? (e.g. resetting binary counter - not yet tried, etc....).
Do I have to do special procedure before installing N8010XXUCMA5 version???
Thank you all in advance for any help and/or ideas!!!
Best regards, Ingmar

Not really know what do you mean about boot.img, but I flashed my note using stock rom dozens of time without any problem, just Odin and the stock 4.1.2 rom.
I was thinking, probably the rom you downloaded was corrupted or something. I would do a factory reset from recovery mode and try flashing other version (older 4.0.2). Then do the upgrade from the settings menu instead. Probably you'll need to upgrade to 4.1.2 first then to 4.4
Resetting binary count works PERFECTLY, using triangle away (props to the dev; chainfire, purchased it immediately). You need to root your device to use it tho. And yest, GT-N80XX is supported (mine is GT N8000, Wifi-GSM).
hope that helps.
cheers
Thank you for your answer.
I tried now four different firmware versions (cma5 to cmk2) also with triangle away before (triangle away -> reset counts and status -> boot to download mode -> flash versions).
Neither of the versions work. The flashing by Odin 1.85 always fails between 20% and 99%.
Why this could hapen??? Does anybody have an idea or suggestion on how to get an official version of JB and recovery on N-8010???
Best regards,
Ingmar

[Q] [NOOB] Flash a 4.4.2 custom rom over a 4.3 firmware ok?

I had some trouble rooting after I first did a 4.4.2 OTA. So I downgraded to 4.3 and got root and installed TWRP without any trouble.
So from a 4.3 firmware I went to Cyanogenmod (Android 4.4.2). Is that ok ? Or do I need to upgrade radio, boot or other parts that dont come with a custom rom? In other words: is a (rooted) 4.4.2 firmware a precondition for installing alternative 4.4.2 roms?
Well, everything might not work perfectly as many things (though little) changed from 4.3 to 4.4. Yup, most of those things (radio,etc) change, flashing a cm11 rom wont change those and cm will most likely need them. Better to upgrade to 4.4. Also, does ART (new kitkat runtime) need anything new from kernel or anything? I don't see anyone who seems to have tried this and might mostly not work.
Also, What root trouble did you have? Easier to solve that issue than deal with any new issues that might arise from this.

Thanks. I will look into that. The kernel is included in a ROM though wright? So that wont be an issue I guess... But just to be save I'll flash 4.4.2 firmware and start from there. My problem was I actually got root, but flashed custom roms always got stuck in the boot animation. The thread on that is here.

I can't keep KitKat using CyanogenMod

Good morning guys, sorry about the english. So, a while back I installed the 12.1 cm in my GT I9515L (Galaxy S4 VE), the rom was running normally, but i had some problems in some applications that were not compatible with the version BOJ1 (Lollipop). I performed the downgrade of the same for AJN1 (KitKat) to reinstall the CyanogenMod above, the problem is that whenever I go into recovery mode, time to flash the GAPPS, one error appears saying that the version isn't compatible. I performed the test of reset the machine without installing any version of gapps, and the cell was automatically updated to version Lollipop. I would like to ask for your help because I am unable to keep KitKat version in Cyano. I think that it's a litte mine mistake on wipes or in version of cyano, but I googled a lot and found nothing. Thank you guys.

Marshmallow for Samsung Edge SM-915F - Rom can not be updated

Hello I am looking for and have been trying to get one of the momentarily available version of the marshmallow running on my Edge. So far without any success.
I am now running a 5.01 version with custom rom. I applied the new bootloader from mickey387 in order to install roms, mack backups etc. Then I tried to get a newer Rom like the following running, so far without success:
Galaxy-NoTEdge-1.0BETA2
N915F-DPC7Binh24_Deodex
DBT-N915FYXXU1DPE1-20160524112616
The problem is that when trying to apply for example the DBT version, the recovery stopps and is not going to install it. The NotEdge could be installed but resulted in a bootloop. The DPC7 version i currently downloading, so I could not really test it.
What could be the problem ? Do I have to downgrade first to another "Stockrom" or do I need to upgrade to another newer version abbove 5.01 and after that to the version 6 ?
I f so could anyone help me or point me in the right directions ? Here are the programms and tools I already have on my computer:
BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247
Odin3_v3.11.1
twrp_3.0-915F-915FY-915G-915V.tar
twrp_3.0-915F_FY_G.zip

DBT-N915FYXXU1DPE1-20160524112616.zip
Galaxy-NoTEdge-1.0BETA2.zip
With the Deodex Rom the following occurs:
with the deodex after flashing boot runs only into recovery mode, no restart to phone menu.

Rooted with old firmware trouble installing custom ROM's

I'v done a ton of reading and plan to get good at this.. I have been having ALOT of trouble trying to install various custom ROM's. I get no further than stuck on the splash screen. I have a backup and reinstall it without any trouble after each of my failed attempts using TWRP v2.8.6.0, mind you after installing TWRP the first time i was stuck in a boot loop and had to try older? versions until one worked but had to dial *#2663# and fix the inverted display.
I read somewhere that the kernal needs to match the firmware, could my problem be extremely out of date Kernal, Baseband or Bootloader as my phone has been rooted for quite some time running stock firmware without any updates.. Thinking about unrooting so my phone takes the latest update and re routing.. I'm kinda lost here..
Here is some of the information from my phone..
Samsung S6 920w8
Android 5.0.2
Kernal 3.10.61-4808800
AP: G920W8VLUV1AOE1
CP: G920W8VLUV1AOE1
CSC: G920W80YA1AOE1
Thanks for your help and advice
Anxious to get a custom ROM working.. can someone guide me?
