Why dont samsung roll out 4.3 updates for 9500 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Still waiting but why ? It has been for about 10 ten days since first release for few countries but still no common release for all countries. Any idea about that? Still testing? So frustrated!

Which country are you from? I have Indian I9500 and got two 4.3 so far.

Flash latest indian(INU) firmware with odin if you don't want to wait ... one of the less bloated stock firmwares too ...

At least you're turkey, my region is Panama(TPA) it usually takes months for this region to get updates and most of the times doesn't get any at all

Try installing the jb firmware from here, kies never works for me
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
You sure its stuck? Its seems to take forever, and does halt for a considerable period halfway, but I should complete
Forget about KIES.
Go to http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9300 (link is for the International version), choose ANY ROM you want, or the ROM for your country/operator, and flash it using Odin3.
KIES is evil and I don't know why people insist on using that P.O.S.
But will i have any problems in future if i want to upgrade if i flash it using odin?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I updated yesterday using Kies. Make sure your battery is well charged (70% or more) and let it run. It looked like mine had stopped after downloading the components. After 20 minutes of looking like nothing was happening, the firmware proper started to download.
With all the downloads then flash, it probably took just under 2 hours (not the 5-30 minutes that Kies claims).
Most likely the download servers are just busy.
previously was root with stock rom...(unroot usin those root keeper) and proceed to update JB.
Looks good but root is lost.

Have you encountered the "Processing failed" message when you register your device to be able to recieve OTA updates after flashing the rom? I did. I don't really rely on OTA upgrades since i flash roms, but it does bug me a bit knowing that i dont have that option.
You are rooted?
Sent from my HTC One X+ using Tapatalk 2
Afaik it happens because of csc doesnt match between rom (uk or german or whatever) and our phone's (globe or smart or sun or openline).
I am currently using german rom flashed over philippine rom (globe), and just ignores the warning.. do far no prob for me stabilitywise
Hopefully when official philippine jb rom comes, the csc will match so ota upates can now be enabled..

I think that was a problem with the german rom which was release earlier than the uk, haven't tried it yet
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Its is because you have flash rom which is not for your region and hence you get this error, you can either live with it or change the CSC code to the rom you installed the only issue then would be you will get updates for that particular region in future
i am using jb rom of germany no issues so far well except for ota updates. i can always use odin anyway.
I just bought my Note and as I was using the S Note for reading my chemistry ebooks and doodling on them, everytime I exit the app, it took so long before the ebook is saved. Sometimes, my Note won't even respond. Is there something wrong with it? Should I have it replaced?

4.1.2 Jellybean seeding to Note2 now

I read on the internet that the Jellybean 4.1.2 update has started seeding. If you have already got the update please share your feedbacks and reviews about the new update. I havent got the update yet. So, it seems that the update hasnt started seeding in India.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk
It has been seeding to Polish devices at the moment.
I'm on a German Unlocked DBT device and still nothing as of 15 minutes ago when I checked . haha.
it was only released in Poland.. all other countries and their carriers are on pending status.
And remember if you have a carrier branded device then you could be waiting even longer.
That's not true . 4.1.2 released in Poland is carrier branded.

Not sure which is best for updates. I unbranded mine from 3, but with all the root issues I'm staying stock btu until the new root methods are well established and tested. The updates will come to sim free phones soon enough.
AFAIK Netherlands or any others are fine to flash, I prefer to keep to btu myself.

Yep used to be. I heard that the carriers may have a deal with Samsung these days to get theirs first, maybe to encourage contract buying?
I guess the success of the Galaxy S range of phones has made carriers see that IPhones aren't the smartphone everyone wants now. Money is most likely the reason

heres the update if you want to do it
but you cant go back to 4.3 and ive read 4.4.2 is a bit buggy
Maybe that's why they haven't rolled it out in other countries yet, I will probably just wait then because I use my note 3 as my daily driver so I'd rather it was 100%

I think it is not a 100% safe thing to try to update a carrier-locked Note3 - given that you also do not have a lot of experience I would suggest waiting a little more (and in the meantime reading in the many threads around and searching for somobody else with a carrier-locked Note 3 from the same 3 UK carrier).
You can get a free unlock code from three, got mine installed polish kit kat no problems.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Just to mention that some 3rd party apps still require updates from developers to work on 4.4 so if you don't mind waiting a month or two this should also give them time too.
So if I get it unlocked, then its OK to flash the official update?
Basically I just want yo know the effect of flashing an official ROM on a carrier locked fone.
Yeah I've been reading the threads so I know how to flash it using Odin.just wanted to know will it be OK or will my fone go KU-KU
Sorry if I'm eating your brains
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You can flash even if it's network locked. It will stay network locked... But won't be a problem. You can also get your phone unlocked free from three.

You will loose root unless you use mobile odin with the keep root feature, and boot into download, then flash the bootloader. I don't think there's a de la vega style root on 4.4.
