No OTA update for S4 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone help please, I unlocked my O2 S4 with an unlock code from O2, I then flashed the standard BTU firmware to KitKat to get rid of the O2 branding and make it standard.
When I check for OTA updates it says I already have the latest firmware installed.
When I connect to Kies3, I get the same message, I have the latest firmware.
No message to say its been modified or anything like that, just that I already have the latest firmware.
it currently has: I9505XXUFNB9_I9505BTUFNE1
Not rooted and nothing flashed except official KitKat.

Download latest BTU firmware from SamMobile or something else and flash over your current firmware with Odin. I've done the same thing on my friend's i9500 using XSE firmware (because update via OTA takes 1GB+) and everything goes fine.

No update for me yet, however I think that Samsung will provide the network provider with the build then the network provider will add there bloatware and so on. I'm not 100% sure on this though.
Based on the CSC changing to a German CSC when I flashed the German DBT I'd have a guess and say flashing a UK ROM via Odin it would again change the CSC. Just a guess..
I have installed the German DBT and so far so good..

Hi mark, just wondering but I have a n910f UK version and I flashed the German lollipop build through Odin yesterday, although after giving it some time to boot it upgraded all of the pre-installed apps, the phone booted but all that showed up was a black screen and an empty notification bar, and kept rebooting over and over. anyone know what the problem could be?

Hi xjw1,
Not really knowledgeable enough to help much here. You don't say what you flashed the rom over. I flashed over bobcat rom and had already updated the bootloader too. I also did a full wipe in recovery before using odin. If you ask here you should get a response from an expert. Good luck. http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/910f-official-lolipop-germany-dbt-t3029508

Yup you use the German update you get the German CSC, flash to a UK one you'll get a UK CSC. But there is almost no difference.You'd be better off sticking to this German one. Whenever an update is pushed you will get it first. If you flash a UK ROM you'll be back in the same situation you're in now waiting for an upgrade. Sometimes the UK providers are weeks/months behind the German updates.
If you want any new OTA updates as soon as Europe gets them stick with this ROM. That is unless you want the UK bloatware. I'm quite surprised the only German stuff is deletable. I bet the EE/Vodafone stuff won't be.
Edit: Actually I take that back, I just checked my CSC and my phone is showing as Polish OXA strangely enough. Well I'm pretty sure I'll still get the OTAs first. What I said should still count for German/Polish updates as they get them first so ..........(fingers crossed).
Flashed German update still retained my UK CSC
Like Mcshave said am better off with German update than EE bloatwares.

Well I've got the German Rom on now, so far all seems well. I haven't done a reset just a dirty flash.
So all you guys who have done the same to your UK N4, will you flash the BTU when it's released or stay on the German Rom?

When you download the file is a ZIP. I think I must decompress it in order to get the tar.md5 , right?
Which option must I select in Odin? AP with only REboot and Factory reset?

Rooting my device voids the warranty, but if I have any problems with my device and need support ... Can I flash the stock ROM and take it to customer support?

No. You can reinstall stock ROM and have the tablet working as before, but after installing anything custom the efuse will be blown. This means that it can always be detected that custom firmware/kernels/recovery/root/etc have at one point been installed. It also means security containers like Knox will refuse to operate.
I tried out the October (J) release for T815 which has been released for DBT (Germany) and a few other places. (link here). PDA version: T815XXU2AOJ4. Included CSCs: BTU (UK), DBT (Germany), ITV (Italy), XEF (France), XEO (Poland). Android 5.0.2. Previously I had the latest release for PHN (Netherlands), which is still T815XXU1AOG9.
Stagefright bug fixed according to Lookout. Not fixed according to Trustable.
New app icons
Still no multi-user
For DBT, there are four German bloatware apps included. All four can be uninstalled without root.
No Camera2 API
Dialer doesn't accept the secret codes like *#06#, *#0*#, *#1234#
Weird display behaviour (flashing, freezing) at very low battery percentages
Warning: you can not fully downgrade from this version "2" firmware to the version "1" firmwares we had until now! You can partially downgrade if you leave the bootloader and the modem as is (so downgrade only PDA and CSC).
This is great. Any chance that someone has the Stock ROM for the SM-T817V? Or does the firmware for the T815 work on this device?
The October T815XXU2AOJ4 version is now also out for T815 in the Netherlands (PHN), which is bloatfree. No other CSCs included. Link here. The dialer accepts the secret codes like "*#1234#" again. Otherwise the experience is the same. Again, you can't downgrade from this version.
Can the 5.1.1 update be flashed on any SM-T810?
I purchased one in Australia and when I tried to follow the instructions and flash with ODIN I get an error SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE when using 5.1.1_T810XXU1BOH7_T810XAR1BOH7_XAR.zip
I had and un-rooted device, which just received an update (11/03) to version LMY47X.T710XXU2BOJ1. I ended up rooting and flashing TWRP on it, but I'm having an issue writing to my external SD card. Is there something I can flash to fix this?
Thanks

The T810XXU1BOH7 firmware is very old (H = August I think). Apparently for your device it constitutes a downgrade, which it doesn't allow. Download the most recent firmware to flash. If e.g. you currently have firmware with a "2A" (5.0.2) on your device, you can't flash this "1B" (5.1.1) firmware even though it seems like an upgrade of android, because it is a downgrade of the bootloader. Download firmware with "2B" (5.1.1) in the name and I think it may work.
I don't have the T810, but T815 which is still stuck at 5.0.2...
Is it possible to flash a T710 firmware onto a T715 device? I don't need LTE at all so I don't mind losing it (I have no SIM). I just want to get faster updates because I need multi-user support from 5.1.1.

[Q]Why can't I update my stock software?

So last night I flashed stock firmware from sammobile,after that I flashed the appropriate modem for the wifi to work.Everything is good but I tried from curiousness the Update Software button.It says my software is modified and I can't update it.Why?! I just flashed the stock firmware without rooting it or anything.What can I do?

Reflash everything with a full (not modified) stock firmware. That's because you flashed file that not corresponding the stock firmware you installed, so the OTA update will break.

I flashed a stock frimware! First I wiped everything from my phone except storage and flashed the stock firmware from sammobile.It is completely stock right now...
In order for OTA updates to function, the parts of the firmware must match each other, and the firmware must have the same CSC as originally installed on the device. For example, my S4 originally was from O2 (CSC O2U), but when I got it off Swappa it had the CSC of SIM installed. I would need to install the O2-branded firmware back on to the device in order for OTA updates to function.
If you do not know what the original CSC was, either because the phone was a "hand-me-down" or was purchased used, then OTA updates will not function and you will need to use Odin to update.

To identify what's the latest firmware for your region, use your hometown's CSC code (region code) and look for a new version available.
Like I9500UBUHOI1 for region ARO, I9500XXUHOH7 for region SER, and many more. If you're unsure, check your CSC code by entering Recovery mode or use an app like Phone Info.
@calinoii: Many S4 boxes will have the CSC on them as part of the Samsung merchandising code, though mine did not. If the box does not have it, or you don't have the box, the only way to get the correct CSC is by parsing the IMEI and finding out which carrier purchased that device. imeidata.net used to have that option available, and it was how I found out that my device was originally from O2. They took it out, and I'm not aware of any replacements. Try contacting your carrier, as they may be able to provide that information.

I guess I wasn't clear. When I say "CSC of the phone", I'm referring to the three digit carrier code some of the devices have. For example, my phone I discovered had the model number of GT-I9505ZKAO2U. The carrier code of my phone is the last three digits of the model number. It therefore is O2U, and on sammobile.com I would narrow down my search for ROMs using that code to get the correct ROM for the device.
The firmware has its own CSC code, but that cannot be used to determine the phone's CSC. You either need the model number of the phone as printed on the box, or you need to find someone who can research the IMEI and tell you what carrier the phone was originally sold to.

No, that's probably modem or baseband version. Like Strephon said before, it refers on latest 3 digits on your phone box. Like my Galaxy S4 is GT-I9500ZWAXSE, so this phone is for Indonesian markets. Third party app might refer it into installed CSC codes like I install Latin American firmware into my phone and it's changed into GT-I9500ZWATTT. It mostly refers to region like region CHN for China, ARO for Argentina, etc.
CSC that always mentioned on the firmware details is actually multi-CSC. Like on SEA I9500XXUHOH7, it's multi-CSC version is I9500OLBHOH1 and Latin American I9500UBUHOI1 is I9500UUBHOE2. Multi-CSC applies one of CSC codes that matches your phone (like I download ARO firmware but after installing and wipe cache, CSC code installed is TTT instead of ARO).

Yes, you can still flash the unlocked firmware on AT&T note 8 after the Oreo update. Only the U1 unlocked firmware can be flashed and as long it's still on the same bootloader version. Also, you'll need a different version of Odin to flash for the Oreo update.

What am I doing wrong. I flashed 8.0 with the intent to be able to revert back to stock 7.0 once official Oreo rolled out and I literally cant do anything in Odin. I've tried odin 3.13 and 3.12 prince version. HALP
update: flashed G930UUEU4BRD1 using odin 3.12 successfully. phew
As far as I know, the newest Oreo version of AT&T is CRE4, not BRD6 as you say

You may be speaking about where I said CRD6, that is a version of Oreo that doesn't have much difference than the latest version of Oreo CRE4. Most of them after release have been minor changes. I was not flashing back to BRA1 to constantly flash the newest update of Oreo. I have an unlocked s7 so I can flash any carrier but eventually when the official oreo firmware comes out for either tmobile or the unlocked 930 varient i will be switching back to OTA updates

You tried with patched odin? Odin v3.13.1 3B.

The issue was probably that I needed to put home file in csc and exclude the csc file and then factory reset and clear caches. I probably ended up factory reset before Odin and didn't activate USB debug or the files I was using were corrupt. Since then I've just flashed TMobile Oreo that came out a few days ago and I'm gonna just use official ota for future updates
