I am looking to root my Samsung galaxy s4 gt-19505 and flash a lollipop rom onto it, however, I have no clue where to start. I rooted my SII a while back and put cyanogen mod on that, so I know some basics.
Links to a trustworthy lollipop ROM would be greatly appreciated, as well as a link to a working way to root my phone.
I have included a screen shot of my phones settings just in case you need the kernel or anything.

Dear All,
I am a newbie to this site and a bit to Android. I've rooted by Samsung Galaxy S4 19505 (International Version) using Towel Root and installed clockwork recovery and used a custom ROM 'Cyanogenmod' for a while. Cyanogenmod 10.2 crashes a lot and therefore I decided to go back to stock rom. There was some md5 checksum mismatch when I tried to come back to my stock rom and therefore I could not do it. I found links to download official ROMs for variants of different countries but couldn't find one for the 'International Version'. I am looking for the stock ROM of S4-19505 International Version. Please help me to find the stock ROM for my phone. Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
The best way for root your device is this one: [RECOVERY][ROOT] Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Dual SIM (GT-I9192)
Anyway, S4 mini never receive official Lollipop update, so go ahead, root your device and flash custom ROM with 5.x.x baseband.
