Following up to my own post.  Got some help on #ubuntu-phone on freenode.
I didn't mention that the fastboot commands weren't able to see the device
after I rebooted.

Seems like I need to use heimdall instead of fastboot for the Galaxy S4.

Now I need to figure out how exactly to use heimdall and how to manually
download roms.

The quest continues.
