Newbie Coming with Galaxy S4, Needing Help.

[Huskied]

New Phone, Who dis?

Hello, Huskied here, And I am requesting help installing this Nougat safely on this Galaxy S4 on T-Mobile.

Keep in mind, This is still on 4.4.4 KitKat, Haven't installed an update just yet, unrooted, and it's a SGH-M919 type.

Build Number KTU84P .M919UVUFNH7

any help would be appreciated.

Here's what I would do:

1. Flash the latest stock ROM from Sammobile.com with Odin;
2. Flash twrp for the m919;
3. Save the rom and appropriate gapps to the phone's internal storage or sdcard; and
4. Flash the custom ROM, flash gapps, reboot.

Thank you. And one more thing, Some ROMs require LP Bootloader. Where can I get that?

Flashing the latest stock ROM will give you the latest bootloader.

Tried today, Couldn't find any stock ROM for the jfltetmo. Found a bootloader that's supposed to boot the ROM I would like, Failed and could only boot into recovery until I restored 4.4.4.

Any thoughts?

If the phone baseband is running these latest fok3 ROM, that is the newest bootloader for the phone as indicated here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s4/SGH-M919/TMB/

Btw, that nougat in the original is not for the m919 so don't flash it as it may hard brick phone.
