Install Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Update For Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE; CM10.2 Custom ROM For GT-I9505 Now Available

A custom ROM based on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update for Samsung Galaxy S4 has been released.

Cyanoged Mod 10.2 custom firmware was previously released for a number of Android mobile devices. And recently, a stable M1 build of CM10.2 ROM for the Samsung Galaxy S4 was made available; particularly for the LTE variant bearing the model number GT-I9505.

And since this is not an official Android 4.3 Jelly Bean release, users of Samsung Galaxy S4 who wish to install the custom ROM are advised to be extra careful during the installation process. WCCF Tech offers a comprehensive guide on how to install the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update on Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE using the custom ROM. Check out the post here. All the download links for files necessary to install CM 10.2 ROM is also provided on the post.

But before proceeding with the actual installation process of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update to Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE, there are particular requirements that should be met first, to make sure, that there will be no issues along the way. Some of them are provided below:

• Enable USB Debugging mode on your Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE.
• Make sure that the correct USB driver for the Galaxy S4 was installed on the computer so the Android device will connect easily.
• Create a backup of relevant data and settings stored on your device since a complete wipe will be required when installing the custom ROM with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update on Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE.
• Use ClockWorkMod or TWRP as your custom recovery tools.
• Verify the model number of your smartphone. Again, CM10.2 M1 stable build is specifically made for Samsung Galaxy S4 with model number GT-I9505. Using the custom firmware on other device can result to undesirable consequences.
• The battery level of the Galaxy S4 LTE should be at least 80% to avoid power interruption due to battery drainage. Any disruptions while installing Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update can possibly cause more issues on the device.
