Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me.
I have a S4 i9500. For the past couple months I've been having so many issues with it. It's slow, kills the battery and just an all round annoyance.
I want to install a custom ROM. Some look exactly like what I'm looking for. The only problem is that I'm struggling to root it. I'm scared of bricking the phone so I havent done it.
I cant seem to find the kernel that matches my phone model and my build number. Does that matter? Should the model of GT i9500 be fine, even if has a different build number.
I was looking at Chain fire for it.
My spces are:
I9500
Kitkat 4.4.2
Baseband I9500XXUGNF6
Build KOT49H.I9500XXUGNH2
Can anyone try and point me in the right direction. Im getting frustrated of flopping around the internet trying to find solutions.
Thanks

Hello, Can somebody help me please? I want root on my device. And I haven't done it before. And I am kind of scared. Because I don't want to brick it and I am sick of the ads. That are just plentiful on my device.
I have Android 4.0.4
Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 the Wifi version
Model number
GT-P5113
I am not sure if the Kernel and the Build number is needed at the moment.
Also I would like to backup my device before I do this just in case. (Thanks)

Hello Guys,
I wanted to install S5 rom on my S4 Gt-i9505. So, i firstly tried to root it with Kingo Root but i think i couldnot root it completely. Now, when i talk over phone it shuts down etc etc.
Plz help me can i install S5 rom or should I go to previous rom (how can I???).
Any help will be appriciated
Hello. The first thing I would advice is to get your device working correctly before proceeding any further. Secondly I would highly suggest never to flash a Rom that is not specifically for your device. Meaning, do not try to flash an S5 Rom on your device. Unless of course it has been ported over. The links below should help you get your S4 up, and running again. Best of luck .

Hey guys. Hope you doing okay.
I got this Samsung Galaxy S4 sch -i545 NK1 and I've been trying to install Cyanogenmod and is almost impossible for me to do it. Seems like there are some incompatibilities...is this true? What can I possibly do to install it. Cause I'm lost.....The main reason is that I want to install a Rom with Android lollipop and that's the only rom ( cyanogemond) that I know. Please help.
Hi,
Please ask for help in the rom thread you are referring to. And be specific about what errors and issues you are having.
Good luck!
