Firmware update available for S4? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hi,
I was reading on google + that Samsung is releasing an update for the S4 that will allow you to install apps on your SD card. I couldn't find any information on how to download the update though. Is it out? This is my first real smartphone, so I'm not quite sure how updates work. Will it pop up on Google Play, or will I have to download it manually? I looked on Samsung's site and looked for "Downloads" in the S4 section but didn't see anything. I did read that the German update is out though. Anybody have any word on where to download the update, or when it will be released to the US?

Last I read I read; Germany was only one getting it for now.

dude just wait,ATT will release it

Have you encountered the "Processing failed" message when you register your device to be able to recieve OTA updates after flashing the rom? I did. I don't really rely on OTA upgrades since i flash roms, but it does bug me a bit knowing that i dont have that option.
You are rooted?

Afaik it happens because of csc doesnt match between rom (uk or german or whatever) and our phone's (globe or smart or sun or openline).
I am currently using german rom flashed over philippine rom (globe), and just ignores the warning.. do far no prob for me stabilitywise
Hopefully when official philippine jb rom comes, the csc will match so ota upates can now be enabled..

Hi mga kababayan. I just want to ask if you have any screen protector recommendations for me. Im based in manila. Also cant seem to find any dock lately... tnx in advance
Yes just flash the UK rom as it is newer then German and most probably the one which is going to come to Asia, I also got sick and tired of waiting for the indian release and installed the uk samsung really are treating as a second world country two months still no release

I think that was a problem with the german rom which was release earlier than the uk, haven't tried it yet
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Its is because you have flash rom which is not for your region and hence you get this error, you can either live with it or change the CSC code to the rom you installed the only issue then would be you will get updates for that particular region in future
i am using jb rom of germany no issues so far well except for ota updates. i can always use odin anyway.
I just bought my Note and as I was using the S Note for reading my chemistry ebooks and doodling on them, everytime I exit the app, it took so long before the ebook is saved. Sometimes, my Note won't even respond. Is there something wrong with it? Should I have it replaced?

Directions for how to flash 8010 firmware onto the 8013, then get JB over the air?

Could I please get directions for how to flash 8010 firmware onto my 8013?
I hope that by doing this, I'll be able to update to Jellybean over the air. Is this possible and is it a good route to getting JB on the 8013

You can't. You have a U.S. CSC and the update is for the German CSC "DBT." So with a German ROM on a U.S. CSC you won't receive any updates (ever) via OTA or Kies. There are instructions for both rooted and stock Wi-Fi Note's in the big thread that explain how to load the German base ROM and and then apply the update for people with non-German CSC's. If you decide to install the German ROM you can replace it with the U.S. version when it finally comes out and then you'll start to receive updates again normally.

Check your inbox + download german rom instead of uk rom in the pm then after flashing download csc changer from market and change csc to dbt and you will get the ota to jellybean (german rom has english and other languages normally)

You need to have a german base rom to do the update Anually but you have n8013 which has different software and the jellybean firmware isn't yet avaliable on samfirmware, so the only way to get it is by flashing the ics then change csc and then get the ota to jellybean
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda app-developers app
Alright I just followed your PM directions to change the firmware and switch to German ROM. It reset my device, as you said. When I check my device settings --> About Device, it now says "8010". When I go to software update though...it says "Access to the software update service is provided to users in the order in which they request it. Try later." Arrggghhhhhhh!!!!
I connected the device to my computer and open Kies, but also no update.

I also used the suggested program to change the csc to "DBT"

There's no reason to change the CSC. You can just flash the German (DBT) ROM and update and leave your original CSC as-is. Changing the CSC wipes the device and you'll have to change it back if your device ever needs repair. People are better off keeping their original CSC, using the German ROM until JB for their region comes out, and then flashing to it and replacing the German ROM. And none of what I described requires the device be wiped. I don't understand the sudden fascination with changing the CSC. The Note's no different than any other Samsung device.
BTW, how to check cdc on this tablet?
Barry, just saw this post from you : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35431458&postcount=179

yes, the ones I have tried work quite well.
Although, I cannot get gmail, youtube, maps to work beacuse I cant figure out how to completely uninstall them before reinstalling the modded apks
Is there any downside to doing this while waiting (not so) patiently for the official 8013 release from Samsung?

I was very worried about this as well, afraid of ruining an already great device. I have been playing with my tablet all night and so far have not seen any downside. Tablet is much smoother and has really nice new multiwindow functionality, apps, etc

It may be a group cast update, that will give the new features demoed in s4.
I am guessing this as group cast update is 27 mb in size... its on news as well.

Yea, it removed any custom multiwindow apps you had via MultiWindow Manager as well.
One thing I've noticed is the 'Birthday' card template in S-Note. Definitely wasn't there before.
I just flashed my n8013 to the latest, with mobile odin. I still have root & all my apps & settings.
I found the firmware update here. http://www.hotfile.com/dl/198751350/93e64ff/N8013UEUCMB3_N8013XARCMB3_XAR.zip.html

N8013 Update
Does anyone know why Samsung would offer an update that was the same exact # 4.1.2?
Also no way to OTA except that it was busy, will update in order received and to check back later?
Nothing about it on its site and only allows it to occur via Kies. Or am I just use to how Verizon and ASUS roles out an OTA
And yet no discussion about it here!
norm883
I updated via kies.
The Build number changed in the end. Instead of A3, it became B3.
The birthday template has been there.
Only difference I see is when you highlight the url in the default browser, it's a darker blue.
I compared mine with my friend's note who hasn't updated yet.
Edit* You now have an "export" option in the drop down menu on the home page of s note. It was only "import" before.
Edit** When you pinch the home screen to add more home screens, the background is now blue and not transparent.

Thanks for the link. Downloaded, extracted the .md5, flashed with Mobile Odin, kept root and my apps. It is working great. It took awhile to freeze the bloat in Titanium, but now it is working well.

Received Android 4.3 OTA to my i9505 when using GE broodRom

This is not from broodrom and i wonder if it's safe to install it on my international gt-i9505, or will it brick?
And if I install it, will there be any different other than a new software? I mean, will I be able to flash all the roms that are flashable on the international one?

Probably best to wait, just in case. The i9505 and google edition could differ in partition layout so it may just fail or could brick. Im sure the devs will have an update ready soon.

So I've got 4.2 installed on my T-Mobile GS4.
It's been running great, no complaints.
I just received a notice that the system update to 4.3 has been downloaded and ready to install for Google Play Editions of the GS4 and I can reboot and install.
This is, I'm assuming, the pushed download to the Google Play phones. It caught me off guard, so I don't know if I should install it, cancel, or disable the auto-updates etc.
Whats the consensus on this?

seems like even though we don't have the GPE bootloaders, the device are able to be updated via OTA. We just don't know if it will flash correctly. gsmyth is correct, it's better safe than sorry
You're probably right.

The easiest thing to do would be to list your current firmware. Then we can tell you if its the latest or if you are a behind. I think NB8 is the latest stock BTU UK firmware.

Good old uk always second to last.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
If it makes you feel any better I've tried loads of stock and custom firmware on my UK btu handset and have always come back to fnb8 UK stock as it's the most stable to date. So the fact that other counties have "more up to date" firmware versions is really not important because they bring no extra features and just add problems. E.g. nge5 and ngf1 (the latest firmwares) have random reboots meaning that I can't even walk down the street listening to music because halfway through a song it will cut out and reboot.
If it ain't broke don't fix it. I'd say stick with fnb8 until they release a firmware with new features (maybe when Android L is released).
Hi guy's, does the 16mbt patch fix anything??? Otherwise I agree that fnb8 is pretty good for me, any feedback? Thanks
