[Q] Newest version of software for i9505 BTU - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am new at all of this. So excuse me, I have recently purchased a GT-i9505 and was wondering what the newest firmware is for my version.
I cannot move my apps to SD card and I believe I have the old firmware as
PDA: i9505XXUAMDM
CSC: i9505OXXAMDB
I have tried Kies update and it says it is latest firmware PDA: MDM, Phone: MDM, CSC: MDB (BTU)
I am in the United Kingdom, and as far as I am aware it originated here as it came with a 3 pin plug. It is also unlocked and free of branding.
Why is the new firmware MGA not on my phone or on update? How do I get it, as I am running lower on room on my phone everyday.
Thank you

The latest available firmware for XSI is ENC2 (KitKat 4.4.2).
Go to Menu --> 'Firmware Browser...' to get the download link for this firmware, then flash it via Odin.

This will happen if ur device status is modified.
U can check it on download mode.
I post this somewhere but I forgot where
Happened to few of my friends owning note 3 export europe set (bought in singapore). But no big issue, since I can flash stock through odin.

he have the note 3 with xsi not sin
Firmware OTA updates depends on region. Like in US it 1st releases and after few time in other countries one by one due to localization. Also it depends on career those have taken locked version under contract, like Verizon released the 4.4 in May where I got it many month back, even another latest firmware update recently.
So check google news, for your region or check other phones in your region. If they provides you will definitely get it. If others got it then contact Samsung.

I know. But shld not be a problem mate.
Mine is BTU. I flashed so many region alrd : DBT, XSI, SIN and BTU itself.
All run well.
Since I m flashing with odin, I don't really care abt region.
Worst case (if happen, so far never), just flash csc of ur own region.

Yes mate. Pain in the ass when u wipe to clean.
OTA got bad habit. Happened. To 2 of my friends already. They do OTA, enjoying it with data still intact. One day, all of sudden phone freeze, reboot, auto wipe. Puff, all gone.
Another one more also same. Freeze, never reboot auto, just stay freezing, phone very hot, unplug battery, boot and stuck at Samsung logo. Finally factory reset as well. Both can't save their data.
This happened. To my friends who do OTA from 4.3 to 4.4.2 but dun want to wipe.

[Q] Help Pls - bootloop when flashing from Singapore firmware to Australia firmware

I bought this Galaxy Note 3 LTE (SM-N9005) in Australia, and it came with Andorid 4.3, the original firmware was:
Product Code: VAU
PDA: N9005XXUDMJ7
CSC: N9005VAUDMJ2
MODEM: N9005XXUDMJ7
Later on, I decided to upgrade my phone to Android 4.4.2 by flashing a Singapore firmware because I couldn't wait for Australia firmware anymore, it was too slow. The Singapore firmware that I flashed was
Product Code: XSP
PDA: N9005DXUENF3
CSC: N9005OLCENF2
MODEM: N9005DXUENF1
Now that the Australia version of Android 4.4.2 firmware has eventually rolled out:
Product Code: VAU
PDA: N9005XXUENE3
CSC: N9005VAUENF1
MODEM: N9005XXUENE3
Last night I flashed this new Australia firmware and I got bootloop unfortunately, so I had to flash back to the Singapore one, I seems that I have been stucked with the Singapore firmware. Could anybody please tell me how I can flash back to Australia firmware? Thanks.

Debranding my SM-G900F?

I know there is similar thread but I want to be sure with this in only my case so...
I have got SM-G900F from Poland and its branded with Plus network. The put about 6-8 own **** apps in my phone and f^%$ing boot animation that i can't remove also.
I don't want to root. I don't want CWM and I don't want to lose warranty also. What is the safest way to get rid of that branding from my phone?
This is what I know. If I'm wrong let me know.
Now I have this one installed
Date: 2015-02-17, Country/Carrier: Poland (PLUS), Version: 5.0, PDA: G900FXXU1BOA3, CSC: G900FPLS1BOA1, Kies:YES
If I flash official firmware from SamMobile I will not get any KNOX counter and still have warranty.
There are few XEO firmwares with Lolipop (XEO means debranded so they are just for me)
Date:2015-02-02, Country/Carrier: Poland, Version: 5.0, PDA: G900FXXU1BOA3, CSC: G900FXEO1BOA1, Kies:YES
Date:2015-02-02, Country/Carrier: Poland, Version: 5.0, PDA: G900FXXU1BNL9, CSC: G900FXEO1BNL1, Kies:NO
Date:2014-12-23, Country/Carrier: Poland, Version: 5.0, PDA: G900FXXU1BNL7, CSC: G900FXEO1BNL1, Kies:NO
Date:2014-12-16, Country/Carrier: Poland, Version: 5.0, PDA: G900FXXU1BNL2, CSC: G900FXEO1BNL1, Kies:NO
All XEO roms will work fine for me and I get my phone debranded
I should download any XEO firmware and use Odin to flash it. Then I should make factory reset from options in my phone and all apps will disappear and I will still have warranty.

Am I using the correct firmware for my phone?

I have installed this firmware: N910FXXU1COJ3_N910FBTU1COI1_BTU from sammobile
I have a note 4 that is unlocked and based in the UK, it was purchased new off amazon. My original CSC code was BTU but my active one is XEC/BTU. Should I be worried and should I try to change it.
When I type the serial number into kies I am told PDA: OK2/ CSC: OJ2/ PHONE: OK1 (XEC). However XEC is for spanish phones which mine is not.
How can I get my device back to its original state when it was first purchased?
