Hi .please give me an explanation. I have got s4 with xxuamk firmware. But my country got the xxuema firmware already 20 days ago. I cant update my firmware to xxema through OTA. IN kies, it also says that your phone is up to date! I am gone mad. Please help me. Won't my s4 ever do an update through OTA?

sir, what it matters is the product code of your phone (csc), and not where you live
connect to kies and see ---------- MDK(???)
any way, for Turkey mdk is the latest firmware http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9500&pcode=TUR#firmware

Sir please here is the turkey s update list and there is xxxmdea update. Am i mistaken?
Just have a look at this

no, just download TUR, latest MEA and flash it with odin, and you will be good to receive any future update
also you can flash any other newest firmware for other country (India firmware is so fast in OTA)
see my sig for the guide

Thank you very much sir....

Still custom in stats

So after rooting my device I decided I didnt like it, I backed it up and then went to settings and reset the device back to stock. I then restored it. For some reason the device still shows custom in stats and thus I cant check for updates. Any help is apreciated.
Thanks in advance

While you can flash it to try to fix it , I'd be very tempted to take it to the service centre and then post the results here.
If an Ota update of an un rooted phone can hose the modem / network. Then how can they be sure that an OTA cannot trip Knox? .

Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505XXUEMI8

Just recently gone back to official Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 4.3 Firmware. I've checked on updates to see if 4.4.2 was available. It doesn't look like it is for me, can anyone give me any input or anything if it is available.

Is ur phone branded? What is your CSC (country CODE)?
Before I started modding this phone, it came with a 3 (carrier) bootloader. I'm not sure what you meant with US - it's a familiar word I think I've seen it on Odin. But when I had been given the firmware for 4.3 UEMI8 it all said UEMI8 on the files before I flashed official firmware.

I9505XXUEMI8 is leak Firmware
flash firmware for your region
you do not remember of the region was the firmware of your phone from the beginning
you were not with him
(possible if you bought your phone second hand was with him)
and if it is irrelevant to you just flash some official firmware and OTA updates will work
Hey I made a mistake in one of the posts. I said I had a 3 carrier boot loader. What I meant is when you boot up your phone I used to get the 3 boot animation. My phones bootloader is unlocked BTW.

Uemi8 or any such number is not a type of ROM. They are a specific rom and are different for each region and each version of ROM.

So would my region code thingy change? What would happen if it failed?
BTW sammobile uses Terafile which is damn slow at times my download fails and gets stuck at 0kbps - eventhough I have like 60mb download. So there servers suck.
