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.
Steps to Update
· Move the custom ROM to the SD card of your phone. Once done, power it off, and boot it into the recovery mode by holding and pressing its Home, Volume up and Power buttons altogether. After that, press the Volume Down button, and your device is already in the custom recovery mode.
· Here, choose three wipes data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache options.
· Then choose “Install ” option and choose the files that you transferred to your SD card.
· Now, install the ROM and Gapps files on your Galaxy S4 I9505 one after another without rebooting your phone.
· Once done, return to the recovery menu and select “reboot now”.
That’s all! You have successfully updated your Galaxy S4 I9505 to the Android 7.1.2 VOLTE Nougat Custom ROM. In case you have any issues, ping us back in the comment section. We shall find out solutions for you.
