Now that both Android 4.3 has been released as an OTA update and official Kernel have been posted by Samsung, I am thinking about turning my T-Mobile S4 into the 9505G (until T-Mobile releases the firmware update). I have a few questions:
- Is it safe to install the stock 9505G ROM on the M919? Do I have to worry about basebands/modems? What about the kernel? Will the new stock kernel work?
- When do I find the latest and purest GPE 4.3 ROM? I've been to the 9505G forum, but most stock-based ROMs are either old (not the latest) or have been modified in one way or another? Is there a link to the source?
Thanks in advance.

Since 4.3 just officially dropped. I'm sure by tomorrow allot of the developers who have posted 4.3 leak builds will update there ROMs with the official build. I would just wait till later tomorrow. That way you won't have to worry about flashing something you are not suppose to

I wouldn't recommend using a rom with the 4.3 official build. Security settings force quits, and you can't uninstall apps. Stick with one of the leaked 4.3's; I'm personally using VirginROM by mvirginia and it works great.

Any luck with a link for the flashed OTA GE ROM for the M919? I'd also like to try making my T-Mobile S4 into a straight GE version.

I am a noobi when comes to roms, kernels and modems. I do not know what is compatible with what. Here is my set up.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy Note 2 , Sprint Edition
Current Rom: Goodness Noteworthy v. 1.0.6
Base band/Radio: Stock L900VPMAC2
Kernel:3.0.36 Perseus Alpha 35
My question is, will my modem be compatible to ASOP roms ? I am interested in trying the sprint jelly bomb rom v.21.
If my modem is not compatible where can I obtain the right one?
Thanks for your help.

Yeah it is cool, I've flashed it before and personally I stayed on Paranoid Android 3.99 for a while but now that we have 4.3 I switched back to TW I'm running stock deodexed by lorjay589 and it is great!

I am one of those who are looking forward to get "Official Samsung" ROM on my M919 ASAP.
It is not that I don't like custom ROM's. I have had car bluetooth issues with custom Kitkat. Also I use S-View a lot....something that is not possible out of box in Custom Kitkat.
I found a 4.4.2 Official ROM has been released in Europe for snapdragon 600 processors (i9505)
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/install-of...t-update-galaxy-s4-lte-snapdragon-600-1437696
I never developed Custom ROM's before. My experience stays with flashing ROM's.
Would appreciate any tips or help to install a official samsung 4.4.2 on my T-Mobile M919.
I just can't wait few more weeks for a official ROM from T-Mobile. I think I can, because I got you guys
Thanks, Ari
Hammer coming down in 3....2....1....
You should lurk in the 9505 forums. Devs there should have one available soon. Usually can be flashed fight to our phones once they make it a flashable zip

i9505 - Compatibility with M919
Thank you for the Golden Eye ROM link.
Is it fine to flash it in M919? I know they have a common processor.
Not sure if it is safe to try.
Thanks, Ari
i9505 and m919 are as close as identical as you can get. btw this is Q&A
Does this version still retain the same issues on our phone such as Wi-Fi, storage, and security settings?

Looks like you have a custom Kernel on your M919. Let me know what it is. Can it be used in 4.4.2?
If anyone flashes Goldeneye, would you kindly post your experience. Does it work? Your specific steps to get it working? I don't use Bluetooth, but my issue is the camcorder performance on non Touchwiz roms. I think this thread will probably be moved to Q&A so I'll check back there. Wish there were a thread over there dealing with flashing other carriers' roms. I'd try it if I knew it worked out well for others.

Yes, I've read that guide before but somehow it seems vague. It doesn't specify the Rom version tested, the exact kernel tested, and the info might be outdated. The link to Goldeneye for the T-Mobile S4 is a link to a closed thread that apparently used to be on the T-Mobile GS4 Android Development forum. But thanks anyway :good:
Ok OP, I looked everywhere, where is the link to your ROM!?

Try WanamLite. He just updated his ROM to 4.4 too. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283194
I would think you would need their bootloader to run any of these roms. I hope I am wrong but I will wait for someone to try it first.
I am running Wananlite. It works.

Try typing that same exact phrase into the search bar "flash other carrier's roms" in either General or Q&A and be amazed.
Could not flash. Failed.

VirginRom as of now is already on 4.4. Perhaps you downloaded an outdated version of it. The 4.4 kitkat update people are awaiting for is the one with TouchWiz.

So you now have VirginROM 4.4.x? Is it the same one that's been available in the Android Development section since like December? Because if so, it's the official 4.4 update and it IS out and has been for a while now.

Pardon the comments which seem like objections, but they are necessary if the content of your post is not exactly accurate. The GPE 4.4.2 has been available for a long time for this device. The official TW 4.4.2 is not available yet. Don't confuse the two. Also, of course the GPE update notification will occur if you're on the older version of Virgin Rom(4.3). But if you have a custom recovery it will fail to install most likely. Also, the title of your post fails to recognize the complexities of going from 4.3 to 4.4 on an older bootloader and having a fully working result.
I think your intentions were nice, but you may end up misleading people.
Mods can you delete this thread please.

Is there a flashable (CWM) Stock 4.4 Rooted rom? I have looked and havent seen one. Anyone know of one being worked on? 2 Simple reasons i ask, wifi calling and 4.4.
None as I know of. I think its because the full firmware has yet to be released

Gotta wait till someone who has taken the official update to do a system pull or wait until sammobile has the firmware available. (I'm waiting for the latter )
Hey guys. I've been using Note 3 for almost a year now and I am giving my Note 2 to my son. But its still on an old 4.3 AOSP custom ROM right now and want to upgrade it to an official 4.4.2 firmware if there is one.
I look at sammobile and search for SGH-T889 but the latest I can find is 4.3 released on Dec. 2013.
I checked both N7100 and N7105 and they have 4.4.2 available for download.
I entirely forgot already the difference between all these variation so I want to be sure before I Odin something.
Can I use the 4.4.2 FW from any of the 7100 or 7105? If not, can you guys point me to where I can download it?
Thanks a lot. Really appreciate the help.
There isn't a firmware update. The T-Mobile model of the Note 2 still hasn't received the update for Kitkat.
Feel free to flash a custom Kitkat ROM on the device though it worn have T-Mobile WiFi calling if you desire that.

Oh I see. I just installed the stock 4.3 FW last night since thats the latest I can find. Can I flash the KK Rom straight over the 4.3 stock?
Thanks for the response.

I wouldn't. The Kitkat ROMs aren't going to be like taking an OTA update and I believe all the TouchWiz Kitkat ROMs are ports from the N7105 model
