What if anything can I flash on my S4

Hi, its been a while since I've flashed anything, I rooted my S4 months ago but never put any recovery or rom on it.. I have cwm on it right now but would like to try twrp but goo manager is having some issues my build number is jdq39.1337mvluamg1.. What can I Flash is anything.. there's just too much info and a lot of post with no or little direct answer..
Thanks... And yes I did search

Flash kangabean ROM if you're looking for AOSP experience. If you want to remain on touchwiz try GoldenEye. It has 4.3 software and is smooth as fk... Unless you're Canadian then you'll experience data drops during calls. I'm using kangabean right now and I'm enjoying it.

Thanks for the reply, yes I have a Canadian phone.. My cousin is using paranoid on his nexus 4 I was looking at that. Now that I know my ver can be flashed I'm very open to flashing again :laugh:.. what rom should I start with before flashing any of the new stuff?

Like I said I rooted the phone months ago just didn't want to flash anything until now (I was flashing every week with my other phones lol) Goo manger was not working so I used odin to flash Twrp 2502 for now.. My mean question is it ok to flash my build ver and should I flash a older rom then the new ones for kernel and other things..

am not familiar with your build as i am att
2.5.0.2 is what i use no issues, there is a flashable zip you can keep on sd if you want
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yhrq0tia8512rj9/FCjN8C9RMT/TWRP_Flashable-2.5.0.2.zip
on att some roms required having taken at least the mdl version. not sure if that is something that would apply to Canadian builds. that's why i posted first link. it may have some useful info. someone with Canada will reply here also--

[Q] What ROM Can I Jump To?

Ok I'm lost. I've been reading around for the past few hours & I've been out of the loop for too long to make sense of this.
I have scrosler's [ROM][1/27/14] - Stock Rooted Knoxless - VRUCML1 - Android 4.3. I have the unlocked bootloader because I have TWRP installed (right?). I did NOT take the OTA to get to 4.3.
With baseband VRUCML1 can I jump to any other ROMS still? Or what should/shouldn't I be looking for?
I'm thinking of trying CM11 or SlimKat

If you can list the version then that would be great. If you do have TWRP installed, yes your bootloader is unlocked and you can flash any Touchwiz rom up to 4.3 or any AOSP rom.

Darn, only up to 4.3...
Versions:
Android: 4.3
Baseband: I535VRUCML1
Build #: JSS15J.I535VRUCML1
TWRP: v2.6.3.1

I think you misinterpreted me. You can flash any AOSP rom that you want since you have TWRP installed. You're limited to 4.3 roms for Touchwiz. CM and SlimKat are ok.
Word of advice, if you're looking to use KitKat AOSP, the S3 has unified builds. One zip for multiple carriers. KitKat AOSP roms will be listed as "d2lte" when you search for recently updated downloads.

As you told you have custom recovery and unlocked bootloader...
I have tried many ROMs and personally will suggest you to go with cm11 .
Slim is also cool but cm has good features and gets updated quickly as there is a Professional team working on it.
Where as on slim if some one ports or adds some more stuff then u will get update which won't be ota ( cm will have some ota update )
Cm is cool ASOP is also cool.

Please thank me if I helped

THANKS SLIM!
Next time I'm dropping the $ on an unlocked phone so I don't have to "think" about what I can & can't do (Stupid Verizon).

You're welcome, always here to help out :good::good:
Also, I'm thinking the same as well in terms of an unlocked phone. Tired of worrying about which OTA is not for my phone or things like that.

This is actually a question I've had for a while. What sorts of things have OTA updates on CM? Does CM update "OTA" often or rarely? I used CM years ago on my OG Droid, but they didn't have updates back then. I keep hearing there are some kinds of updates on CM, but I can never find out what this really means... can you elaborate for me, please?

It depends actually if the developers will fix and update your device ... its on luck ... for example if the developer has the device and he will update for himself. Also it depends on device if it is capable of running the new android , means the hardware capablitity .... You can install cm11 as they are fast in fixing stuff and if you have some problem , xda will help you as cm is common on xda...
I had used cm11 on galaxy tab 2 and it worked like charm ... i was update ( android version v4.4.4 where as on stock they use v4.2 ) f***ing nice.... thanks to xda and cm.... love you all....

New CM 12.1 nightly for d801

I saw that there are new 12.1 nightlies for the T-Mobile LG G2.
https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d801
You need to have KK bootstack installed.
Also you need GApps for 12.1 if you want them.

What is the KK bootstack you are referring to exactly? Thanks in advance!

I had to install a new bootstack for the stock lollipop to work here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g2/development/rom-tmo-g2-lollipop-30b-stock-rom-t3084687
This rom uses the old bootstack for kitkat. You can download it here if you installed the lollipop bootstack: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934556125

I flashed the 20g bootstack with cm and the rom kept rebooting every few minutes. Is anyone else having this issue?

I'm on cm12 right now. I never installed a kk bootstack for it to work? But when I try to flash 12.1 I get some error in twrp regarding some verification issue.

This whole post should be deleted by mods. Bloody cancer. Having the KK boostack installed will cause reboot every time you connect to LTE you NEED 30b in order for this to work. Did you even test this OP? Or did you just put this thread out here without even knowing if it was correct or not? Because I wasted a lot of time troubleshooting this and needless to say I'm a little miffed at you for the absolutely incorrect information you posted here.

I flashed it straight from stock Lollipop and everything worked, until a few hours later when LTE and 2G stopped working. I could make calls and get on wifi but no mobile data.

What is the best current guide/method for installing a custom recovery and CM12 on the D801? Are the nightly builds stable enough?

Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...l-one-click-freedom-tool-lp-30b-twrp-t3084474
Nightlies might be stable if I could figure out the bootstacks issue

Thanks, I installed the newest nightly and had the the same issue as you. Mobile data didn't work as soon as I installed. Unfortunately I also wiped my contacts, I mistakenly though they were backed up. I did an ABD and TWRP backup, so I'll see if I can restore them.

[Q] Running NIGHTLY CM as opposed to any other rom?

Hi.
I am new to this.
I am running RR for a while.
Every Time there's a new build up, dev instructs to flash latest CM NIGHTLY.
I was thinking - why not just run the Nightly build as a daily rom?
Am I missing something? Is it strictly for development purposes?
I am looking for rock solid stability mainly.
Thanks!

That's usually only recommended if there's a change in firmware in CM. It's not necessary to flash CM13 every time before flashing RR. I've never even used RR but I'm sure that's the only reason he would advise to flash CM.
Latest CM13 works great, rock stable at the moment so if you wanna switch go ahead

CM nightlies contain firmware files in it. So what the dev wants is for you to update to the latest working firmware from CM nightly, and when you flash RR after, the firmware stays.

updating to CM 13

I have been really confused on updating it if I am able to or should. I am on the latest build of CM 12 as far as I know and have the latest twrp and I am wondering if I can update to cm 13 and keep all my files or if to much is broken and I should just wait for a bit

If you want to upgrade to the nightlies don't. Either upgrade to the latest Snapshot build or use Sultan's build which is on stable branch and has few issues.
Keep an eye on this thread if you want to flash CM13 Nightlies currently there are some annoying issues
