hey guys, yesterday i updated my i9500 via ODIN with the official 4.3 firmware, but afterwards when i tried connecting via Kies, it throws up the error firmware not supported on Kies.
Kindly help me.
I would like to know if my phone has been rooted?? As i do not want to root my cell and just want to install the official 4.3 firmware
I downloaded the official firmware for India 4.3 from Sammbile.com, also would like to know whether i need to install the INU or INS firmware.
My Model No. is GT-I9500ZKAINU. Please help me!!
Thanks in advance...

You have some options:
1. Flash a custom firmware through custom recovery.
2. Download the latest firmware and flash it through ODIN. For know what firmware is the best for you, conect it to Kies and tell me the 3 letters close to ur CSC

Thanks for quick reply.
I already attached image showing csc characters.( MJ5(INU))
Does flashing firmware through odin void warrenty?
there is no way to get official update via software update or kies?
its just the update didt arrived for your country and there is 2 solutions :
1- wait till the update arrive
2- download & falsh the Update VIA Odin
if you flash it with odin nothing wrong will happen i just recommend you to backup everything :good:

I believe it is in need of repartition. Some partition from the Rom you're trying to install exceeds current partition size.
So either find the correct update for your region (which I strongly advise) Either try it by ticking repartition( do it your own risk) which is not advisable as you might end up bricking the phone.
You need a pit file for repartition.

The best solution for you is to initialize your phone using Kies 3... However, this requires a running phone, not a bootlooping one... Use a firmware that works with you first!
Install it, connect your phone and do the initialization from the firmware menu... This should install the latest available firmware to your device while cleaning up the whole mess....
Good luck

Send it to Samsung... They definitely know how to put Kitkat on your device!
Are u sure you are downloading right firmware for your device since there are few variants around here, and mayb kitkat is not released for your variant ...
As i can see on samsung update page there is only one 4.4.4 for your device variant (s3ve3gUB)
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9300I
It is : I9300IUBUBNJ1 ,so try flashing that one

I am working on the same exact phone and I have having a hard time finding the right firmware for this phone.
It is stuck on recovery. I get a could not do normal boot and back to recovery. So I was planning on flashing a stock rom to get it out of recovery. Every how to page talks about going into setting to find your firmware version. This makes it hard when you cannot get into phone settings.
If you ever find the right Rom for this type of phone Please reply. Every rom site I have visited does not have the correct one.
This is most probably a hardware issue. Something on the main board got fried or some other glitch took place in a hardware component. Send it to Samsung for a repair or better buy a new phone.

Another idea is to use Smart Switch. You don't need a running phone this time. Just choose the firmware initialization option and enter your device model and serial number, and you're good to go. If this didn't work, send it to Samsung or give it a goodbye kiss.
Hi at all,
Today I have came back stock rom samsung, I have download official firmware samsung (A500FUXXU1BOJ6_A500FUITV1BOJ1_ITV) and flash with Odin, the update successfull, after first configuration of the A5 I have search new update software from settings BUT I recived an Error, as if the phone was Altered.
