Accessing Firmware update setting in s4 (OTA) - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
When I started my phone for first time, it took me to a screen where I have updated the preferred time for getting firmware updates OTA and some other settings for OTA. or it might be called as "Software update setting" In my view it happens only the first time you start the device, where it will ask you your desired time for software update..
It happens only for first time, so wanted to ask the seniors, how can I access that setting again in Samsung Galaxy S4 (I9500)
Please advise...
I tried searching for that setting but i am not able to find it.
Please help..
Regards,
Anoop

Go to settings - more - about us - software update

Thanks for your reply.
I know that settings i.e. More---About us---Software update, but when I manually click on it, it gives me below message..."The Software update service is not available. Maximum number of roll-out updates has been exceeded Try to update device later"
I am trying since 2 days but getting same message..
I remember that when I started the phone for first time, it took me to software update setting and asked me about my preferred time of update etc... (1st booting of the device) so that setting I am asking.. if someone can help please...
Regards,
Anoop.

I had that error on my i9505, the only way i rectified it was a factory data reset... works fine now.

You are not alone I have been facing the same problem with updating kies.
Mine reports the update, downloads it 100% but download bar still reportsas 40% & then says internet connection lost want to retry?
I say yes! does the same looping over & over again. I have downloaded over 3-4 gb in name of kies update but it has never updated.
The most messed up program I have ever used is Kies, seems some dumb guys are developing this who do not even understand how computer works.
The solution would be not to update instead download the new version> uninstall the old version & install the newer version.
The screenshot shows it already has downloaded twice the amount of data what the update size is.

This seems to be a higher version than what kies is officially reporting as update v2.0.0.11032_12
The link you provided is downloading Kies_2.0.0.11033_25
Is it ok to install with I9003, hope nothing goes wrong further as i am already fed up with this stupid software.
Uninstalled the older version & reinstalled the new version all seems to be working till now, its reporting me a new Firmware update & I will try updating it too but I hope it doesn't loop again & again as it was doing last time.
_12 is actually newer than _25. _25-January build. _12=February build.

Though I don't understand the logic of numbering If its so where can I download the latest v2.0.0.11032_12 build?
I wish samsung thinks about giving some steam lined info on these updates.

I was having the same problem with kies saying it had lost connection so i turned off my kaspersky internet security and then install the kies update

[Q] Android 4.3

Maybe a noob question but i'm helpless.
I bought a brand new S4 with contract here in Germany, branding- and simlockfree, european model.
The problem is that I'm unable to update for 4.3. The current version on my phone is 4.2.2 I9505XXUDMH5 DBT (open Germany), CSC I9505OXADMH5. I receive no OTA notifications. Kies says that I have the latest firmware. In conformity to sammobile I should receive 4.3 I9505XXUEMJ5.
It's my second s4, the first one was replace due to a minor functionality problem. With the first one I did receive the update, but not with this one.
What am I doing wrong? Any help apreciated. Thanks.
I don't think you are doing something wrong.
as you are german:
http://ukonio.de/samsung-galaxy-s3-...rollout-update-firmware-mobile-digital-42632/
rollout is stopped for s3 & s4
so either you root your device and flash 4.3 or you keep 4.2.2 which is not bad in my opinion.
and for the future it is always a good idea to google your device together with "update" or something and display only news or new pages.
cheers

I suggest that you just keep on trying to OTA update on a regular basis. Samsung spreads OTA updates for a queue so sometimes you have to wait some time.

Just stay on 4.2.2, I had no issue with it, 4,3 is annoying as I'm hounded everyday or security issues plus I didn't notice any improvements either, Wait for 4.4
thanks guys. i'll wait and see.

[Q] Is there an update for i9505 in uk today?

Just wondered as before i left for work this morning, i seen my phone searching for updates, so i went into updates to look and it searched and said the server has exceeded its download limit, so i should update via kies.
Currently im using 4.4.2, updated to that a while ago.
Thanks

Seems theres somthing mine says Max number of Roll-out updates has been exceeded, try later or use Kies
hmmmmmm wonder whats coming now
Same here. Update must be on the way.

Try updating trough the Smart Switch software from Samsung... It will automatically flash the latest version of stock. If it is stull on the same version it means that the update hasn't came for your region

Just try with SS no matter if it shows updates or not. If it doesn't, try Odin.

If its not letting you I don't think you can. Just try to get on PC and update through samsung kies.
You can also go on sammobile.com and download the latest software/firmware and ODIN it to your phone. Instructions are right on the website as well as the latest ODIN software.

I just found out that my phone is rooted. I just buy a rooted phone. I dont have idea have is that posible but it rooted. I dont have install TWRP.
Maybe i dont have update because of root?

Correct root=no ota
I dont know what happened but when I check root again after two hours i got this:
so is it any better than the last MM update?
I checked and i dont have OTA marshmallow. .i dont have pc to try with samsung kies
i have installed it on my EUR phone and it flies as a first impression , security patch update august 2018 though. will report battery life later in the week
Can i change something in phone to get update? Why is happening this? Why i dont have update OTA? Does anyone have this problem and how is fixed? My big problem is that i dont have pc..
If your phone is rooted there may be a program that disables the update applications (com.samsung.sdm and com.samsung.sdmviewer if I remember correctly). What applications (other than stock) are on the phone, such as titanium backup, app quarantine, etc.
Now if someone rooted the phone to make it work with your phone network or other software you use this update may disable the phone and/or software requiring root.
Andrew
I dont have any app in phone that need root for working.
I found and install this SDM but i need a phone to connect with..
can you give ne a little more explanation of this app? What do i need to do when I install it?
I dont have anyone app in phone that need root to work.
Can you give me a litlle more explanation abot this SDM, i found and install it on phone but..i dont know how to use it
Was it not already on the phone? This app automatically checks for OTA updates and downloads them.
You can open settings, scroll all the way down to the 'system' section, click on 'system updates' and then select 'check for updates'. Just make sure you have mobile data connection of some kind. (Cell or Wifi).
SDM should be installed on the phone unless someone specifically removed it. Of course be careful what you download and install. Lots of malicious software out there... If you had the ability to see the 'system update' option in settings, you already had the com.samsung.sdm package and did not need to install anything.
Was this phone sold by your carrier/provider originally or is it one you bought online and was made to work with your carrier/provider?
It is from provider Tmobile.
I give my phone to service provider and pay 10€ and thay put 6.0.1 marshmallow to my phone.
When i get back to my home,I get info that I can update android.
I have download the update, 300mb but when i try to install it,i cant. I get some update error.
Does anyone know what is this update? And how to install it? I have download a couple of times but its always the same. Can not update.
I finally have Marshmallow 6.0.1, but I cant install this next update.
