(Replaced previous thread with this due to some confusion on how to find the ClockWork Recovery file)

Supported Devices:

Galaxy S4 LTE-A SK (SHV-E330S, ks01lteskt)
Galaxy S4 LTE-A KT (SHV-E330K, ks01ltektt)
Galaxy S4 LTE + International (GT-I9506, ks01lte)

What you need to know:

This is an unofficial portion of CyanogenMod
'Opensource' does not mean 'no-respect'
Leave credits to original developers
This is only tested on
- SHV-E330S coming from stock Android 4.4 KitKat
- SHV-E330K coming from stock Android 4.4 KitKat
Other variants, other OS may not be fully compatible

Installation: THIS WILL TRIP KNOX,

* Gapps must be made for Android 5.0 Lollipop ! *
1. Install ClockworkMod(or PhilZ) recovery
2. Put ROM, kernel and Gapps on your SD card
3. Enter recovery and do a factory reset (wipe cache and divak cache for safe measure)
4. Flash ROM, kernel and Gapps in order
6. THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT, let the device boot up (the first boot takes anywhere from 5-10 minutes so be patient)
7. Once rebooted you will be greeted with the device setup
8. Enjoy your S4 :)

Can u make new video for Nightly CyanogenMod 13 for LTE-A?

[stephenkingking]

This was a bit messy and hard to understand on a few steps. I have the problem getting cmw on my phone by using odin. Its like it wont read it. I used tar-tool-odin to convert the img file to tar file but still nothing. the rest is easy peasy as i have other phones with custom roms.. Scratched my hair of on why i cant figure this out..
I cant get any further than this: recovery.tar.md5 is valid
checking md5 finnished successfully
leave CS..
And when i press "start": All threads complete (succseed 0 Failed 0)
