However, before flashing this custom ROM, you should meet some pre-requirements. First, make sure the latest Custom Recovery image is already installed on your device. While the new custom ROM offers considerable changes in your handset and make it more noteworthy to use, you might face some small bugs in your device in the daily use.

Remember, this update is only for the Galaxy S4 LTE I9505 Smartphone. If you flash this Custom ROM file in any other device, it will end up bricking. Moreover, you also enable the USB Debugging option before the update. Keep at least 50% battery backup to avoid unexpected shutdown during installing update. Another important thing is making a full backup so that you will not permanently lose any important data.
