Hi,
I have an I9500 S4 international version.
I got a notification to update my phone and when I try to update FOTA it connects and says software is upto date.
Even if I connect with kies and it still says that it is upto date but its really the old build that I have.
Kies says :
current version: PDA:MDK / PHONE:MDK / CSC:MDK
new version: PDA:MDK / PHONE:MDK / CSC:MDK
Once it showed their is a new update and I tried to update but had to cancel the software download after that onwards it not showing the new update version :crying:, I even tired re-installing kies.
What can I do to update my firmware ?
Thanks in advance.

Forget kies and ota. Flash via odin. You will always get the earliest updates when flashing via odin no matter which region your phone is from.

latest version for Saudi Arabia KSA is MEA, it is weird, it must take the ota update. sure you are not rooted.
try wiping data and cache via recovery and see if it will take the ota.
if not you can flash (KSA) MEA firmware with Odin

(I tried to use search but it is down).
I have a XEU handset that I de-branded from O2 PAYG. When I connect it to Kies it shows that I am running the latest firmware below even though I am de-branded. I thought hey whole point of being de-branded is getting the latest updates?
Current firmware version: PDA:KE7 / PHONE:KE4 / CDCKD1 (XEU)
Has the de-branding went wrong or is KF1 not out for XEU yet? I know Kies is crap but it is esier (and safer) than Odin.
Thanks.

No its to remove branding
Current firmware version: PDA:KE7 / PHONE:KE4 / CDCKD1 (XEU)
Has the de-branding went wrong or is KF1 not out for XEU yet?
Dependant as always upon product code that Kies reads .

So if it shows that I am running XEU in Kies then why won't it let me upgrade to KF1? Is it even out yet for XEU handsets?

kf1 is a leaked build
KE7 is the latest through Kies if you want to get KF1 you'll have to use odin to flash
My Kies still shows KE4 for me.... how do I de-brand to get KE7?
Someone tells that KF1 is a NON official firmware and samsung will release an official firmware only with the 2.3.4

I updated to KF1 and now Kies says this device can not be updated in regards to firmware. Can I just go back to KE7 ?

No update past KF1 so how can it update something that has no further update released yet .
Can I just go back to KE7
yes see dev section .

Hi. you using your phone in india doesn't mean that you can get the indian update for panama (TPA) firmware. you can wait until the panama update rolls out or you can download any firmware you want from sammobile and flash it with odin.

U have one update for Kies now: HERE. If u have problems with Kies, flash it with ODIN. When u finish of install this firmware update ur Kies too (coz Android 4.3 use Kies 3)
Hi
Ever since I have updated my S3 with Odin I am having trouble with Kies. I can not update with kies and when I connect my phone and go to update section it says "Your current Devices Firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies".
So I know what the crack is about that Product code and CSC have to match blah blah blah.
Soo what I would like to ask for is help finding firmware that will match my S3 so it will be up datable through kies again.
My S3 was bough in the UK in Phones4U and service provider is Vodafone. But it never was branded or bloated with Vodafone apps so I am guessing that I have had a BTU unbranded firmware and as I read on other forum Phones4U sell phones with UK BTU Firmware.
My current Firmware is PDA:MK6 / PHONE:MK6 / CSC MK6 (KOR) Baseband - I9300XXUGMK6 / BUILD - JSS15.I9300XXUGMK6/ KERNEL - 3.0.31-2168382 4.3 jellybean
Before I always downloaded UK BTU Firmwares and none of them were not supported with kies.
Also my binary count is 1 after downloading and flashing 4.2.2 which was supposed to be official but wasn't but I am not sure if it affects kies updates or not.
So what Firmware will be compatible with my S3 so its supported with kies? Please help and ask for any additional information about my phone if it will help.

Your CSC is Korea CSC MK6 (KOR)
Pleas read the faqs and guides CSC etc .

use sammobile.com and flash chosen firmware for the UK via odin. After that check your csc.
And you should update to kies 3 to recognise your 4.3 rom

Also I have use sammobile.com to download my firmware and it was UK firmware i downloaded every time.
Pleas read the faqs and guides CSC etc .

Hi i had the same issue and here is how i fixed it
1. Flash the 4.3 UK BTU firmware from sammobile using ODN
2.Root your phone using cf autoroot - Instructions http://www.theandroidsoul.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-root-tools-videos-guides-downloads/
3. Download CSC Changer from play store and change CSC on BTU
4.Download and install triangleaway app to reset flash counter - http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/4973...ung-galaxy-s3-gt-i9300-reset.htm#.Urj3D7Rn25h
5.Flash the 4.3 firmware again using ODIN
6.Now go into recovery mode and wipe cache and wipe factory data
Your phone will be unrooted and the CSC will match ( Credit goes to medi-927 who originally posted this guide)
Hi. I have the i9505 and my CSC is BTU. When I check on Sammobile if there is an update, it shows that the latest is XXUFNC4 which is available by Kies. But when I run Kies, it says my phone has the lastest update at XXUFNB8. Any idea why i'm not receiving the new update?
Thanks!
Download stock ROM at Sammobile.com and flash via Odin
