It used to be when I had the HTC Thunderbolt I'd be changing ROMs as often as I did underwear, now with this S4 i545 I'm in need of help. All the processes and methods are different.
I want to install Jelly Beans Build 7 ROM but don't know how. The recovery screen is too small to read even borrowing glasses, but I do have the custom ROM saved to both the phone and sdcard.
This SCH-i545 is rooted, Android Ver 4.4.2, Kernel Ver. 3.4.0
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello everyone. I recently got my Samsung galaxy s4 mini I9190. Which have 4.2.2 jelly bean. After searching I found that I can upgrade to kitkat using other region stockrom using odin. So is it safe? If I want to downgrade to my original jelly beans stock rom, will there be any problems like no wifi or corrupted imei?
And I also came across this twrp and custom roms. In case if I install twrp and custom lollipop rom. Will I be able to go back to jelly beans if I have back using twrp backup. Or using odin with no twrp back.up. and how will I get my original stock Recovery menu. I mean like it was before twrp.
I know I asked alot but please help.
And I searched alot regarding these questions but couldn't found any.
If there are any necessary steps regarding downgrading or using custom roms first time. Please tell me.
Thanka for listening.

Thank you for the heads up... I'm currently running twrp 3.0 & 11/17 cyanogenmod 12.1 I'm happy with it so far...
Hay everyone i am so frustrated on this phone as I read that there is no update for this phone anymore. I have reed that I could flash a custom rom and and I seemed to do all with no progress. Am I missing something here? My phone info:
Android version 4.3
emotion ui version 2.0
basband version 100131
build version MT2-L03V100R001C421B132
I need some help on this if anyone has info. I would hate to have to get another phone because I can't update my phone. I am starting to work with Amazon that needs a samsung version phone with 4.4 or higher and this phone has no update and is running 4.3....... Any help would be greatly apreciated guys....GRRRRRRRRR
Just wanted to day that after posting my problem with huawei ascend mate 2 up date not working because of running 4.3 jelly bean. Well I did what I was told and bam I'm running 5.1 lollipop.
So I've successfully rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3 from Straight Talk using TowelRoot and have installed SuperSU. I now want to upgarde to KitKat 4.4, but don't know where to start? I've done alot of reading on this and I understand I have to basically download a ROM of KitKat 4.4, but I am wary as to which one to download and how I go about installing it. I don't want to brick my phone.
If that's not possible or too dangerous, I would at least like to remove all the stock bloatware that came with my phone. My baseband/build number ends in H1, if that is relevant at all.
Thanks!
Hello,
Yes, I know this phone is old and I'm hoping someone will help me but I have a Motorola Droid Turbo 2 and the battery is about to go bad and I also broke me MicroUSB port so I have to wirelessly charge it. I want to go back to my Samsung Galaxy S4 which it's on Android 5.0.1.
Before I got this Samsung Galaxy S4 had the same phone but I broke the LCD when I went to replace the screen which it ran Android 4.4.4, it was rooted, and had the SafeStrap custom recovery on it. This Samsung Galaxy S4 is on Android 5.0.1 and I saw a custom ROM that can make the phone run on Android 7.1 or Oreo so I want to do that to get the phone almost up-to-date close to my Motorola Droid Turbo 2.
I rooted using Kingroot so the first question is how to make SuperSU the main root permission.
I tried to use TWRP but it mess the stock recovery up so now it goes to Odin mode, the second question is how can I get a custom recovery to unlock the bootloader.
Lastly, what is the best ROM, I see the CM is nothing anymore and I saw a ROM called "LineageOS 14.1" which run Android 7.1.1, so the ROM I like to see haves at least Android 6 or newer and if there isn't any then what is the best Android 5.0 ROM.
--Here is the Phone info---
Model number: SCH-I545
Android version: Android 5.0.1
Baseband version: I545VRSGPL1
Kernel version 3.40
Build number: LRX22C.I545VRSGPL1
Keep in mind I'm little rust on rooting and custom ROM. I haven't done a custom ROM since the Droid 1 days. Please make it noob friendly as possible. I'm using a Linux OS right now but if I need a Windows OS I got one.
Thank you!

You're stuck on 5.0.1. forget about upgrading past 5.0.1. not going to happen. Ever.

Only the MDK bootloader can boot ROMS based on Android 6, 7, 8, etc. Once you've updated past MDK, you can't go back.
