Thanks God, someone replied there ! But 10 seconds ago i flashed the firmware to my s4. AND THANK YOU A LOT FOR SECOND QUESTION. I got 4.3 android before flashing, i tried using kies to update but it said there is no available update for my phone and i got the latest version (that's strange, i remember the same thing happened when i got iphone 4 and i wanted to update via iTunes. Maybe someone know why that's happening. Or maybe that's why people flash newer firmwares.

Hope u understand.

firmwares you get from sammobile are fine to install as long as they are meant for your i9500. Pay very close attention to csc/pda and if you use a specific carrier. There are builds with very different modem software and you need to make sure you get the right one or you'll have mobile data issues galore. Samsung's bootloader does an 'ok' job of making sure it wont let you flash something that your device wont work with, but it can easily happen in many cases.

Luckily they are pretty hard to permanently break.
