Cannot update S4

I bought a 'brand new Galaxy S4' which came with rooted. I have flashed the BTU firmware to the device but in Keis it says device not eligible for update.
How can I fix this?

You should be able to flash back to stock using odin then upgrade or flash the updated version with odin.

You have to unroot your device and flash the firmware with corresponding CSC to your country. On top of that you have to flash the firmware that was ALREADY officialy in your country (best way is to download package from sammobile.com) after that the OTA will work. I know because I also had problems with OTA after rooting the device.

I have reflashed the BTU UK firmware I9505XXUAMDM via ODIN and my device now shows as running official rom
Kies now says...
Your devices current firmware version is not supported to update via Kies.
What gives?

Hi,
Recovery mode mentions multi csc. Could this be the problem?

Hi,
Where did you buy a "Brand New S4" with root?
Not sure what you are trying to do.
You have root, so, just flash the latest stock ROM and you are up to date.
If you are trying to get back to "Official" stock, then, look HERE
Use Triangle Away to reset your counter, and you will be able to get Ota.

I bought the phone from Amazon as new.. This is my first Android phone and I only noticed the problem when I checked the apps and it had SuperSU istalled and Kies complained about not being supported for updates.
What I am trying to do is get the phone running as stock so it will update via Kies + OTA and also remove the yellow multi CSC writing from the boot recovery menu.
I have tried unrooting and flashing stock BTU firmware but then I still have the yellow writing in the boot recovery menu and cannot update via Kies.

Hi,
OK.
Did you use the link I gave you ?
You need to get Triangle Away from the market.

Ok.. here is what I have done so far..
Rooted the rom and ran triangle away to reset my counter to 1 . I have removed root and flashed stock BTU firmware then wiped data/cache from the recovery menu.
But I still have the multi csc message in stock recovery that will not budge and Kies reports the phone is not supported for updates.
Could this be because the boot loader is locked?

Hi,
The bootloader is not locked.
You should have reset the counter to "0"
Then, flashed the stock firmware without rebooting the phone.

Does the recovery says that it "applied BTU" ? If not then your region code is not proper and that's why OTA does not work. Unfortunately it is hard to change CSC right now as Samsung has blocked the keystrings for user packages, keystrings works only for engineer builds.
And about that flash counter, it does not matter if its 100 or 0. The OTA will work as long as the status in download mode is official for both variables, and in Settings > About device is official too.
As I work at Samsung's R&D I know that you have to flash the firmware which was RELEASED for your country with proper CSC, the CSC has to be set (you can check it in recovery mode) and then both variables in download mode have to "Official" and status in About device also has to be Official. Then the OTA will work (At least over-the-air, not through Kies). Best way to check the OTA is to flash first firmware released for your country and check the updates. Ive done it dozen times on various devices and it always worked. You cannot be rooted and need stock recovery. The only major problem might be changing CSC on your own, because as I said it is not easy right now as Samsung blocked *#272* keystring in user packages (released for the market). Flashing engineering build will make the all keystrings work, but I guess you won't find any of those odin flashables on the net.

It says applied BTU but multi CSC exists. How do I find the original CSC code out? SO its not possible to change this at all or at least get rid of that stupid message?
Is a green andriod bot with a red exclamation mark anything to be worried about?
OTA updates now work fine However they dont work via Kies. Is this normal?
FYI the flash counter was at 3 so somebody had obviously messed with this.
Sorry for all the questions. This is my first Android device having switched from Crapple
It is weird because the box was sealed and had the protectors on the phone.

Multi CSC means that the file that was flashed contains few regions code and that it can be changed inside the OS with keystring. So nothing to worry about as long as it is set to your country and OTA works. As for the icon, it is normal after entering recovery, my device also has that icon, it does not mean that there is some error. Kies does not always wants to cooperate I do not know why, but as long over-the-air works you're not missing anything apart from cable update.

Hi,
That is why I questioned the fact that you bought a phone , and it came "Out-of-the-box" with root.
This just does not happen.
Anyway,glad you got it sorted.

downloading.... don't turn of target appeared although i didn't update

hello
two months ago i was using my SM-N9005 -*not rooted * as usual, there was no internet connection
not even an update notification appeared
then the screen turned black with android logo on it and a text message below it saying "Downloading .... don't turn off target"
and some small words
however it took too long so i removed the battery , device restarted and worked well
now i cannot update my 4.4.2 to 5.0 which was released here in egypt more than a month ago
the device state is OFFICIAL how ever i can't update via OTA or KIES

Try looking for the stock LP firmware on sammobile.com

I recommend you this steps for avoid problems:
1. Install this APP and look for your CSC code (Pic 1).
2. Look for that 3 letters in "Select Country" -> HERE. It will tell you of what country is your device.
3. Download, unzip and flash via ODIN the latest firmware for your device (Pic 2).

Issue with update Lineage OS 14.1

Hi all community. I have a phone S4 9505 and i install the firmware as the object. I have this issue:
When i turn on my phone i received the notify for update, i click before on download and then on install. I receive a warning telling me that I must have a TWRP version as Ricovery (I have the version 3.1.0 already) when I click on update the phone reboots and goes into recovery mode but nothing happens. Then reboot normally always comes out the same notification, but I can not install the update. The alert tells me that i can do even manually. how can I do?

You have to manually flash the build.

R
Yes with file.zip from recovery
This is the file (lineage-14.1-20170310-UNOFFICIAL-jfltexx)

Flash that the same way you flashed Lineage the first time.
There is no actual auto-update that will flash it automatically.

R
Yes, while notifying me always comes out in the status bar. Where can I find the official image for my Galaxy device? You could give me the exact link from where you can download the exact firmware to see if there are updates?

Download it from this site or this site, search your model number and choose the correct firmware based on your country code.
You must sign up to download..as always.

How do i get 7.0 on this tablet?

I just got this tablet from Amazon and it came with Android 6.0 and it says there is not an update available. How do I get stock 7.0 on it? I had read reviews that said it was updated which is one of the reasons I bought it.

I never got an OTA for 7 I had to use Firmware Finder in the play store. It found it, downloaded it and installed it.

Here’s how I upgraded. Reposted from another forum.
The update checker was a non-starter for me until I used it with firmware finder and bypassed having to use a micro+SD card in order to upgrade to EMUI 5. First, I picked the 2.5gb file option within firmware finder which is basically EMUI 5, chose the get an update using dns beta option. Added the dns address that firmware finder provided to my wifi settings by holding down your wifi, choosing modify network, tick advanced options, change settings to static, and then change the dns to the one provided by firmware finder. From there, it downloaded the file, but once finished it passed it on to Huawei's upgrader app and it took over from there. Just remember to remove the dns address from your wifi settings when finished. As I mentioned didn't need to use a SD card and once finished, checked the Huawei updator again and there was another small update available. I thought it was the easiest way to upgrade without having to do too many steps. Once the file was passed on to the Huawei upgrader, it did all the work.

Mediapad M3 Upgrade
Dear friend I have also bought these wonderful tablets these days, I have the same problem, so I installed "firmware finder" app so I can download the new firmware for emui 5.0 btv-w09c100b302, I do not know if the procedure is correct, light forums before upgrade, I would like someone to tell me if I can proceed safely with the upgrade, thank you

I posted how I did it above and it’s correct, and it’s safe. Follow the directions.

okay it's not super clear with Firmware Finder version 6.6 but I finally watched enough videos to figure it out.
Install Firmware Finder
Tap on your model number (should pop up right away at top)
Tap on latest FULL version
Check Firmware access
Tap IN-APP PROXY
Goto wifi settings and press hold your wifi
tap modify
show advanced
PROXY select manual
Proxy hostname: localhost
Proxy port 8080
save or connect
Go to Settings
system update
check for update. It should then show an update. Tap and let it download and install.
Edit: I do not recall having to change the DNS setting. I just checked and mine was still set to DHCP so I am sure I did not change it. Once done with update though do go back and remove the Proxy setting.

I got a BTV-W09C128B005 FW version (USA from Amazon). Updater didn't show any updates. I downloaded a two folder update. I unpacked them (.zip) and put on an SD card under 'dload'. I pressed the vol up/ vol down and power to start the update. It worked and went to BTV-W09C128B350. I then deleted the contents of the 'dload' folder on the SD card, and replaced them with the unpacked USA data upgrade files. The data folder included a lot of app .apks including one called 'bluetooth'. The force update for the 2nd set of files took very little time, and it didn't seem to do anything. It didn't update or install any apps from the data folder, and the vers. stayed at B350. Now bluetooth won't turn on, and the 'update' app is missing from the 'settings' menus. I can't use the other update methods because they use the missing update app.
Huawei cust. support chat assured me that the Android 7 update (OTA) would arrive if I was patient enough. (6 months, yeah right.)
I'm returning this to Amazon to start over. This time I'm going to try other methods that use the updater app, or log into the PC program HiSuite to see if it pushes the update properly.

You chose the complicated way to upgrade. My input ( above ) for how to upgrade is a lot easier and is less riskier as Huawei's upgrade software is involved. Your call, but if you hit a brick wall on other ways to upgrade, consider my suggestion.

Thanks dude (@b4u2), worked like a charm!

I like it too with Android 7.0 , despite all the bloatware apps (I'm coming from a Nexus 7).

For me they installed without firmware finder. Right after first boot, I went to System Settings, and the Update section showed the OTA update. It installed 2. Only thing disappointing is that they haven't released an update to fix KRACK yet.

I stupidly tried an SD card method first, and ended up with an upgraded tablet with no Bluetooth and keyboard issues. Finally got back to original state and followed @callanish method.

I wasn't so lucky: I had to install it with Firmware Finder (only the one of ~500MB).
Can you please tell me which security patch level do you have ?
I have those of May 2017.

That's what I have, May if 2017. I also used firmware finder and to my knowledge, that's the newest available for this tablet.

I did this too, because the instructions in FF app were crap for the other methods. I found the SD card method and ran with it. It didn't put the USA data files on that included the keyboard and bluetooth, and updater app.
I had to return mine to Amazon and try again using the DNS / Updater app method on FF. This time it worked great! This tablet is sooo much better with updated launcher and Android 7.
How on earth did you get it back to original state without sending it back?

I think there is a security patch level more recent than May '17.
I got my US version with the B005 FW vers. It had a SP level of something like Aug '17 (I don't remember exactly, but it after May of this year.)
It showed no updates in the updater app, but I upgraded it using FF app, and now it says May '17 for the SP level.
I don't think Huawei ever intended US versions to get the Android 7 update because it doesn't comply with current SP levels.

Hi all, I have a question, when I open Firmware Finder I have a list of 4 FullOTA (see attached screenshot), all with the same release date, how can I choose the right one?

@fidrat I worded that poorly. I used the same technique you did, started with a new one.

an error occured during software update!!! HELP

i boot up phone and see an error occured during software update!!! now smart switch doesnt recognizing, i connected to odin, in AP i put file G903FXXU.md5.tar but failed! can someone give me 4 files? BL PDA PHONE CSC? imei not random gone when i flashed with 4 files??

I bet you have corrupted system files. There are many websites that provide the recovery files (including .pit file) for free. I suggest you to flash one of your choice with first four options turned on (reboot, nand erase, repartition, and reset time). It has nothing to do with your imei. This will solve your problem and you'll be able to flash any newer firmware you want. PM me with your storage if you can't find the files. I can upload either Austria or Germany one for your g903f.

Your stock .tar.md5 is not meant to be used when you're downgrading. You may want to consider using twrp. Follow my guide above as a last resort. Basically it'll wipe out everything and roll back from BRH2 to the old version you choose so that you can start fresh. You repartition only when .pit file is used.

i put old version security patch but same 6.0.1 android version which i had on previuosly version when i did not install from ota update when i got the phone, but cm fail because binary number is lower. i had G903FXXU1BQL1 this version before update via ota. but from odin . why re-partiton automatic marked??? i saw when i flashed succesfully to bhr2 . i dont know why is ticked automatically... my phone not bricked up?? everythings would be ok?? phone booted up, but two times was in recovery screen entered and restarted two times samsung s5 logo and recovery mode, after that screen shows s5 neo and booting without the problem. i cant install previuosly android version which was be on phone when not uptated to security patch 2018 04 01 , i had 2017 december, after that when failed odin i installed the same version like what i had installed via ota. i dont know the same music apk was on preinstalled previuosly version on security patch 2017 december 1 th was . on the software was music stock apk like in photo which i more like it because on lockscreen was green backround not the white and rounded play ant back buttons, and from status bar same as looks like lockscreen. i dont know maybe the same app version was when i uptaded to the latest android version via ota when i got the update when was be on patch 2017 . but in my imagine was music stock 1.5 version but not 6.0.1 when i did reinstall fw via odin!! now changed to 6.0.1 apk music version. i found on internet the picture how should icon was on december 2017 patch without update samsung music, just stock music app. and maybe after ota update still the previuosly 1.5 version on april 2018 security patch.. i dont have any screenshots where music app was be without updated samsung music app when i had via ota uptaded version to bhr2 as same version as a flashed via odin.. how can i install lower security patch? is required pit file or twrp ? i dont do that to lower version security, because binary number is not the same. i try in a5 2016 to security patch when not changed binary number to 7. was 6 . when 6 was i can installed to february month via ota and roll back as the same file to october security because the same binary number , when i got updated and month changed to may i cant installed that version which i had until may updated security patch because binary changed to 7 with update. maybe you understand what can i say in my opinion about a5 2016 from october 1 update to every month until may i have same version binary so i can install update via ota , but when i dont like update security patch i successfull go back to the previuosly october security patch 1th because same version binary number was 6 not 7. but build number letter and number changed every month when update released ;D
and i will put photo which i found on internet music app was same as in photo when i had security patch 2017 december , and maybe was be same when i flashed update via ota when i got , but when i reflashed via odin to same android version and security patch now changed music app icon and style in the app :/ no round buttons, just buttons black. or maybe not the same when i got the phone :/ i really dont remember ://
now not looks like in 2 photo no bigger play button , not rounded and not green screen on playback line which in photo i see :/
in my music stock app playback line white not green which in photo green.. and from lockscreen white background and from status bar, before installed via odin, was version bhr 2 security patch the same as i installed firmware via odin, and music app was green and paybacks buttons all 3 rounded and green three buttons and in the lockscreen and status bar background music app was GREEN WHICH COLOR I LOVE IT MORE THAN NOW WHITE!!! not lovely looks :/ i see i can installed samsung music apk latest update but i hate that because animation effect used when song played... so name ,,Music" changed to "Samsung Music" when i installed update from gplay, when i unninstall update it shows Music. and back to stock version , but not when i was in security patch 2017 not the same icon....... maybe the ota uptade changed version but i dont believe it!!! because before reflash i listened to music with stock apk music but i dont remember what icon was . but not newer samsung music really i remember this!!! because i hate samsung music update so i unninstalled and i got stock green music backround in the music app,lockscreen, and status bar, and playbacks buttons rounded and green <3.... now after reinstalled via odin same version and same security patch and same region SEB changed samsung app to 6.0.1 apk. ... there is no way roll back to music 1.5 version apk which i had on ota update before odin reflashed as the same version !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

in the first picture android 5.1 not 6.0.1

G903FXX U2 BRH2
G903FXX U1 BQL1
The U# is the bootloader version which is inflexible and unforgiving. Simply put, you can't go back.
If it's just .apk file you wish to downgrade, you can extract it from G903FXXU1BQL1 and replace /system/priv-app/smusic/ or repack BRH2. That's more complicated. When downgrading is worth putting your time, as I suggested, you roll back to Lollipop or similar using the repair firmware and then odin flash G903FXXU1BQL1 after a successful boot.

how possible to downgrade to lollipop???? i wanna that! i like lollipop, but i wprried could be a problem with phone or firmware which i installed lollipop, can crashing apps or forced closed? i dont like 6.0.1 on s5 neo

yeah i wanna flash apk music, but i dont really remember the app music was 1.5 version or same like now 6.0.1. maybe lower version, but you say i can go back to LOLLIPOP . HOW BACK???? i dont wanna loose imei or phone doesnt boot after that procedure!!!

now my bootloader on 6.0.1 android and i cant flash 5.0 version lollipop...

maybe possible downgrade to 6.0.1 xxu1 because i cant install because my bootloader newer xxu2 binary number was this so i cant flash lower binary which has G903FXXU1BQL1 marshmallow, maybe than i flashed succesfully, and i saw 5.1.1 android the same xxu1 not xxu4 , so when i downgraded i dont know how but maybe try and successfull installed xxu1BQL1 marshmallow. so i can through odin installed 5.1.1??? because xxu1 5.1.1 lollipo so maybe allow to downgrade from marshamallow xxu1 version to 5.1,1 xxu1? this software lollipop : G903FXXU1AOGG. how to roll back to G903FXXU1BQL1 marshmallow?? because i wanna installed 5.1.1 which have the same XXU1 number in 5.1.1 lollipop ;D

Like I said you put the files to flash in Odin. Note that the Samsung Music app you want was released in 2015. There are some .apk ported from s6. *See the attached screenshots
