I've done exactly that.
Only thing you won't get is the "black" startup sound unless you root it and put the sound in the appropriate folder.

Yes i can confirm it does work normally as i have flashed one on my S4 black edition right out of the box, didn`t even start the device for the 1st on 4.3.

I would like to know which ROM you flashed and location of the thread where its available. I am a total noob, S4 Black Edition is my first ever Samsung Phone, I have expectations from it but its so different from HTC and Xperia Phones in terms of Roms development, rooting and finding the exact ROMs.

Well good to hear, which one you flashed? I'm a fan of the omega serie, probably

I have flashed latest Netherlands Kitkat stock rom (I9505XXUFNC4_I9505PHNFNC1_PHN) which can be found in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
To flash is very easy, normal procedure, just grab Odin. put your device in download mode, connect your device to your pc (make sure you have samsung drivers installed), in Odin select the rom after you have downloaded it on PDA or AP field depending on Odin version e right after click on start and flash shall start. As a side note, on Odin no neet to tick or untick any boxes.
Anyway all steps i have described are covered on the link i posted above.
Will an unlocked SK Telecom GT-i9506 Black Edition work on the AT&T network with full LTE functionality?
I'm most likely going to get a Note 4. If Samsung does something similar like what they did from the S4 to the S5, I will probably hold out and get a Note 5 in 2015.
Yes it does, I just bought mine and immediately installed the latest Romanian international 4.4.2 firmware from sammobile. It works great, no problems. Just without the wallpapers and sounds that came with the black edition firmware.

It seems 1st oficial Kitkat firmware for the S4 Black Edition is out now (southeast regions).
Link: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=27458
How do you know it's black edition firmware? Anyway it's not worth flashing again for me, there are no real differences.
How can you tell that the firmware is for black edition? It only says GT-I9505, like the "original" S4. I am also on a standard 4.4.2, but would like to flash the right one, once it is out, but I can't identify the right file since they're all for I9505.
i have a normal s4 (black mist)(i9500). flashed the latest INS firmware and now i have the black edition wallpapers and boot sound, etc.

After extensive use of my Black Edition, I've noticed a couple of things that I thought might be worth sharing for anyone considering getting it. Bear in mind I used to have the red GS4 up until december last year:
1.) The rim of the phone, round the edge of the front face, is not only a darker colour (not the silver/chrome) but also feels smaller and less 'raised' than the normal gs4. Really nice.
2.) Most people know this, but the front face is jet black, much sexier than the black mist. Exactly like the black edition gs3 for those that remember it.
3)The camera on the back (maybe because of the leather back?) doesn't stick out as much as the normal gs4 and is more flush with the rest of the back.
4) Tiny difference, but either because of the leather back OR an improvement in the motor, I've noticed when you start up the phone the initial vibrate no longer 'rattles' the phone chassis like it's too powerful etc. The motor feels more controlled, smooth etc. In fact that goes for the capacitive vibrate on soft keys and keyboard too.
That's all for now. Thought that might interest at least someone who's considering the phone. I haven't been impressed by any of this year's hot contenders (m8, oneplusone, gs5 etc.). This almost feels like a new phone to me. I love it. If you don't mind going for what I guess is now an 'ageing' hardware (in tech terms), go for it. It's defo what the initial gs4 should have been.2
