hi all
i have the samsung galaxy s4 i9505 in the uk, i just want to know when will my phone recieve the 4.4.2 update as iv heard it has been release for the model but both OTA and kies doesnt detect it yet
currently my mobile runs 4.3 i9505XXUENAA
am i correct in say that the 4.4.2 update is called i9505XXUFNB9 if so i can download and install manually carnt i
thank you

Arnie, you just have to wait!.UK unbranded phones will undoubtedly be last to get it (as usual).
If you cant wait, then get that german or russian one.
I'll be back.....

But isnt i9505XXUFNB9 the international 4.4.2 if so I can manually download that

Have a look here, theres an open europe one in post 2.

I cant say much about it as Im not using it.Just wait for someone to confirm the best option for you, as you could end up with useless crap on your phone (I.e csc related).

What do you mean your phone doesnt have a brand?
From your screenshot, i can see its a GT-i9505 Samsung Galaxy S4 (correct me if im wrong).
It is true that Germany o2 network only have Android version up to 4.2.2 (see screenshot below)
You can try update using ODIN (Over the air - OTA)
Please have a study with your closest friend (google)

[Q] Does the KitKat 4.4.2 update for the Note 3 SM-N9005 restricted to regions ?

Hi all,
I have the Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005, currenty running android 4.3, and I am waiting eagerly for the KitKat 4.4.2 update, but I'm afraid that because this specific model is not officialy sold im my country (Israel) and I bought it from abroad, that maybe the KitKat update will not reach my phone here in Israel.
Can someone please tell me if the official Samsung KitKat 4.4.2 update for this model (SM-N9005) is not region restricted, e.g. it has nothing to do with regions, and my phone will be updates via kies anyway ?

You Note will update from the Region that it was bought from, via OTA -- So if you got it from say, Germany, you'll receive German OTA update when it rolls out, same for X Y Z country.
I just did this and flashed the mexican CSC and locked my phone. I think if you keep the right CSC you'll be fine
Thanks

[Q] Upgrade to 4.4.2 via odin with firmware with a different CSC code ..

Hi,
Via OTA and Kies there is still no upgradet 4.4.2 available ...
CSC code is MJ8 (BOG) --> Bouygues Télécom France.
My phone is an I9505 ... I suppose I can just use Odin to flash another 4.4.2 firmware for the I9505 with a different CSC code?
I used to do some modding with previous phones ... but so far I 've only been using a 'standard' S4. Thus therefore I would like to get confirmation from some people who have more experience with flashing S4 phones.
Better wait for OTA or KIES 3 update android 4.4.2. Your phone is branded to one company.

That's the point firmware is not yet available via OTA or KIES 3. The phone is most certainly branded ... it contained some french apps which I never use out-of-the-box. I don't care about loosing these apps.
Question is will I encounter problems when I flash with another french, british, dutch, ... firmware?
Personally I don't think so ... If you can only flash the original firmware then sites like sammobile.com which host all different original firmwares dont have a reason to exist?
Or am I wrong?

[Q] Galaxy S4 I9505 Original Help Needed

Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 Original
I am having the problem of not seeing the option in Network menu to enable 4G/LTE. I am running 4.3 right now. Our service provider Ooredoo in this country (Maldives) has released 4G and several others with the same model phone as mine can switch to 4G. I was wondering if there is any fix for this. I did hear about rooting the phone and deleting a file to fix this problem. I can't find out which file. and I have already downloaded a 4.3 firmware that said would fix the problem and flashed it. But there is no change.
And I am looking for the 4.4 Official Firmware for Galaxy S4 I9505 which can be used in my country.. Maldives.
And also is it possible to Downgrade the phone back to 4.3 after I flash 4.4?? From what I know so far it isnt.
I will post more information about the phone soon. Don't have it atm.
Thanks for any help you guys can provide.

1. Install Kies 3. Look for the 3 letters btw parenthesis close CSC. It will give u the code for know what firmware you have to download.
2. Go to Sammobile.com, log and sig in (pic 1)
3. Look for your firmware and download it
4. Flash it through ODIN like in the pic attached 2
5. Enjoy it

Alright so I was directed to a firmware on Sammobile
/firmwares/3/?download=27582
Model: GT-I9505
Model name: GALAXY S4 LTE
Country: Unknown
Version: Android 4.4.2
Changelist: 481100
Build date: Wed, 19 Mar 2014 10:39:06 +0000
Product Code: OMD
PDA: I9505XXUFNC9
CSC: I9505OMDFNC1
MODEM: I9505XXUFNC9
Does the country being Unknown have any effect on the firmware? The I9505XXUFNC9 firmware is said to be the international one but there is one on Sammobile that has country/carrier of Russia.
Thanks.

Hi,
What model of phone do you have? The LTE SM-N9005? If so (and I hope someone could either second this or correct me if i'm wrong) I believe you could flash via odin (and you do not need to be rooted to do this) the lollipop update that O2 has. 5.0 is available for the UK via the sammobile website, so if the basebands remain the same and the phone is the same model, I believe you could just download the 5.0 update from sammobile and flash it via odin.
Since you would be flashing an official version of sammy's rom, you won't need to be rooted, nor have a custom recovery.
Cheers

so, you are using the sm-n9005, and the firmware u have is the same one as the firmware that the 02 UK version runs in 4.4.2.
Unless I'm mistaken, and if anyone sees I am please correct me, you could flash the 5.0 version with odin for o2 UK. I don't see why it wouldn't work, since it seems you have the same phone and firmware currently in 4.4.2
cheers

Your device is using of UK (with CSC: BTU). It still without Lollipop update. I recommend don't flash via ODIN any firmware and wait for future updates (via OTA) if you aren't rooted.
