Hey guys, need some guidance.

Will it work?
I have a phone rooted long back at 4.2.2. I did not flash a custom recovery, as well as ROM. Now I want to flash some ROMs and some ROMs need fixed or latest firmware.

Can I flash any ROM without specification on firmware, to 4.4.x first then to the ROM that has specification on firmware version or do I need to unroot and update firmware first?

I remember vaguely, I could just flash any ROM on my HTC Desire to "Upgrade" the firmware. And make it one of the first Gingerbread Desire before HTC decided to push theirs. Can I do that on Samsung GS4, taking into consideration of those Baseband or Build numbers?

tl;dr : Simply put, is there any ROMs I can "borrow" to flash it to 4.4.x from 4.2.2 so that my "firmware" is updated which translates to me flashing another ROM that specifically stated it needs 4.4.x and above firmware?

Thanks.

Perhaps it's time to move on from MIUI but I really wanted to try one last time how good it works on this phone. (used to be a beast in my Desire).

His first line goes "Make sure you have the latest firmware".

While it might be great to have a pre-Knox, if I flash any 4.4.x it'll be Knox no?

What ROMs do not require firmware?

PAC? Paranoid? CM10?

And thanks for the reply.

Is this the US.miui.com version they been doing since long ago?

They have a I9505 Variant?

Thanks! Downloaded

Anyone here tried PAC or Paranoid or some other kind of AOSP/AOKP?

Would like to know opinions on AOSPs aside from MIUI and CM. Looking for "The Best" Rom you ever flashed.

Edit : Wifi doesnt turn on and data "sleeps" when lock phone. Kernel issue?

Flashed all recommended kernel yet still same problem. Even tried the MIUI.TW version and his recommended kernel didn't help either. (Adam's, Chronic, etc.)

What firmware or baseband were you on when you flashed that MIUI.EU? If you remember.

Thanks.
