requirements you should pay attention to: make a backup of the data you think is of utter importance, charge the device’s battery till it’s full and then follow the instructions you are about to see below.
Instructions
- Begin by locating the file online (its file name is Frosty Jellybean-S4-5.30.2013-v2.zip). After you spot it, you need to download it on your laptop. Extract the content it arrives with to the same place and then transfer it to the handset’s SD card.
- When the files are right where we told you to transfer them, you have to power the Galaxy S4 off. Once you send it in that state, you will be asked to unplug it from your notebook and then help it reach Recovery Mode by performing the following: press and simultaneously hold Volume Up, Home and Power.
- Stay in the Recovery Menu, because you will have to operate a set of instructions that will make sure the data on your phone is wiped.
- So begin with this: opt for Factory reset/Wipe data. To find your way around in the Recovery Mode (if you use ClockworkMod Recovery), you are advised to make use of the Volume button; employ the display if you use the TeamWin Recovery Project instead.
- In case you just upgrade from the phone’s old ROM, you need to ignore the above and just select Wipe cache partition; now opt for “Yes” to have the action confirmed.
- When you are in the Advanced setting, you need to opt for Wipe Dalvik Cache; confirm this, too, by choosing the same “Yes” option. Then, when you are done with that task, you have to go to the main menu in Recovery.
- Once you reach that destination, you will be asked to opt for Install zip from SD card. Wait a bit, then select Choose zip from internal SD card.

Enjoy the handset with its new capabilities and improvements. But be careful: this procedure is going to void the phone’s warranty.
