If you have rooted then OTA or kies. Won't update as others are saying Try Odin n refer DOCKY's thread
N we all know how irritating is that to use kies

Agree.kies is the worst software i have used.like a nightmare.

If I unroot phone. What will be then? Will kies be available again?

Rooting does not affect kies
Sent from a device
|Unable to figure out which one it is|

i dont have a rooted device or obviosuly a custom ROM. Its clean. OTA says - update available but wait in line - so naturally turned to keis - and bingo it confirmed my thoughts - kies is still crap! it recognised my sgs 3 I9300 but doesnt display firmware info. I can sync etc (not that id want to) and transfer files but current firmware isn't listed!
Any ideas?

If you are rooted use Triangle Away to reset the flash counter and after that go straight to download mode and flash a stock rom with Odin. After the flash do a data factory reset and you have the phone as you initialy got it

How to use Odin see this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372414.
Samsung oficial firmware see www.sammobile.com/firmware, you have to register first before you can download!
After this you are full stock if you flash the rom of your country/region and you will receive all OTA`s again.

hi all. I will be thankful if u can help me.
i have 9505 and when I connect it to my PC via USB instead of being charging , it will be warm and charge become decrease percent by percent. I have Stock Rom.whats Wrong with it??

Have you got the correct drivers installed by Kies? Tried another usb port (no hub)? Are you using the original usb cable?

Its not as hard as it seems to use Odin:
1. Close Kies, also in windows task manager!
2. Enable usb debugging on the phone.
3. Open Odin 3.04 as administrator
4. Place the downloaded rom that is unzipped ONCE and shows a .md5 file in PDA
5. Phone in downloadmode (after you used to reset the flash counter with Triangle Away)
6. Connect the phone with usb to Odin (IDCOM should light up and show a com number)
7. Press start and flash the rom.
Reboot and data factory reset in settings/accounts/reset
Done

Best answer.. easy to understand.. thanksss

BTW sir,.. i cant find any model of Samsung galaxy s4 GTi9505
can u help me to find th original firmwares?

You can try this rom with odin
http://samsung-updates.com/details/12205/Galaxy_S_4_Snapdragon/GT-I9505/XEF/I9505XXUBMGA.html
it's the last official rom from France. the only issue if it's not the right region code for your country is to had just issue with carrier network
why i choose the link from france ? cauz no specific region code for turkey and france is close to france (in geographical situation).
but if you remind the region code of your first stock rom i can try to find a link for the it

this is the easiest way to unroot and go back to stock and official galaxy s4 with TW.
follow this simple guide .

[Q] i9506 with 4.3 Odin not working

Hi,
After updating my i9506 with 4.3, my phone is not recognized anymore by Odin in download mode.
Since the wifi is not working, I want try to reinstall again the 4.3 using Odin but I saw in another thread that Odin is not supported with 4.3. Is it true?
Is there another method to install a firmware without using Odin?
Thx in advance.

If u have android 4.3, try install again Kies3 with the new drivers. Odin have to recognize it :highfive:

GT-i9505 does not support initialization

Noob question ahead!
I have International Galaxy S4 i9505 and I’m currently on rooted stock rom “i9505vjuemj6″ (zto) brazil android 4.3. I can not update OTA because of “modified device issue” and also can not update via Kies it says “GT-i9505 does not support initialization”.
Can I download “I9505VJUEMKE_I9505DGTEMKE_DGT” venezuela android 4.3 and flash it using odin to fix everything above?
- If not, which latest stock ROM do you recommend to install?
- Any description for this? “GT-i9505 does not support initialization”.

For install updates for android 4.3 u only need Kies 3, no Kies. I recommend u install the updates only with Kies 3 or via OTA. Flashing other firmwares that dont marry with ur region code is create more problems :highfive:

same problem
Mate i am having the same problem and tried everything that's been said here. I am however in New Zealand and put a Nordic 4.4.2 on via Odin, but that shouldn't matter because as soon as i put the serial no. in that should fix it and initialise

ok
Will do and get back to you as soon as i get another firware on, have also contacted Samsung and the'ry look into it too. but cheers if you can help. i'm just mucking around with other options as well at moment. i understand some forums say you cannot roll back the firmware from 4.4.2 to 4.2. I am having the screen rotation problem with the new 4.4.2 so i'm trying to find a way to roll back the FW and one way might be to install a custom rom with old bootloader that is also knox free via CWM install zip function to replace the new 4.4.2 bootloader with an old one. This may then allow me to roll back the firmware to an older version and kill my screen rotation problems.

Pretty sure once you root your phone you can no longer use OTA or Kies, as you now have custom status.
Having said that I've not used kies once since I bought my S4 on April 27th and I change firmware like crazy.
Just use Odin. 9 times out of 10 any problem you have can be fixed by reflash and factory reset.

you can use on any modified phone
If Kies lets you initialise the firmware with model and serial no. to the base version for your region for that phone then it will overwrite anything. However in the I9505 case it will not even let you initialise the firmware. Have called Samsung and they confirm they know this is the case but it is not something they will do anything about.

Sorry about the delay. thanks for trying to help
OK so is this what you were asking for?
Screen rotation a real prob, but all my sensors show pass via *#0*# sensor checks. Tried nordic i9505 I9505XXUFNB9_I9505NEEFNB2_I9505XXUFNB9_HOME.tar 4.4.2, then SIngapore I9505XXUFNBE_I9505OLBFNB3_I9505XXUFNBE_HOME.tar 4.4.2 all the fken same problem. Screen rotation all fine when I flash firmware, root, then flash CWM touch - everything good. Screen rotate works until the first reboot after all of this which might even be a day or 2 later. As soon as reboot phone, screen rotation dies and it is a huge pain in the arse. Sensors continue to say pass via *#0*#. Every few days i have to re-flash firmware, re-root, then re-CWM touch, no need to factory reset just those 3 steps.:crying::crying:and is why i'm trying to figure out whatever methods i can to roll back the firmware to an earlier version but no joy....

Do you have the drivers installed on your PC? Without them you can't proceed with anything.
Also you needn't to update via Kies. You can simply download a ROM and flash it via Odin just like you are trying to do for the root method. But in any case you need the drivers to be installed first.
