What version is your phone currently running? If you just got the phone it could already be running on 4.3 but most likely on 4.2.2. Give the info on your current status and we can work from there.

Has the device been rooted?
---------- Post added at 07:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 AM ----------
I just realized that you aren't a Verizon customer. The update is only available for Verizon phones at this time. Give it another couple of weeks and your phone will be getting the update.... Sorry brotha.
If anything helped----Thank me!
Thanks!

Owh okay thanks for that info

Also, you'll have better luck (in general) if you post in your actual phone's forum. This is for the Galaxy S 4G, not for the Galaxy S4. It's a ~3 year old phone.
The Galaxy S4 has not only a general forum but also specific phone model forums. Depending on how specific your questions are, you may have better luck on one side or the other.

1.. ATT does not tell me if or what update does. This forum is where to ask.
2. I searched 4 different threads that were not conclusive and said wait for developers to tell you.
3. I have only 9 posts and can only do this in certain forums. I am following rules..

Oh noes, another MDL update thread.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
You are running "UCUAMDB" firmware currently, aka "MDB" for shorthand. The current firmware that has been out for almost a month now is "MDL" firmware. The OTA update you are getting is for the update from almost a month ago which has since been deemed safe for Root and Recovery.
The links the others provided in the thread provide those answers. Just takes a bit more reading and understanding. Please read a bit more as the info is all there, or you will bound to run into more bashing like this.
Thank you for the help.

Hello, quick question...

Can I still upgrade to the 5.0 android when it comes out even if my S4 is rooted??
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Yes, but you might have to install a custom firmware or return to stock without root, or just remove the root and wait for the ota update.

I hope we get it, but I'd say we'll be waiting quite a while but no guarantees either.

I don't understand why people keep asking when 4.4 will be out, 4.3 hasn't even been released world wide yet :banghead:
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
if you want the touchwiz software i expext you can wait untill next year. I think the google play edition firmware wil release within the next 4 weeks, so you could flash that once it`s released.
edit; nvm, just read you have an i9500, so google edition firmware won`t work.
thanks for all answers

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.

Get firmware of your region and flash it.

That's a problem because Sam Mobile doesn't have I9505XXUEMI8 Firmware. I have checked every single region to try and find it but no UEMI8 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.

Your firmware is not official
It is a leaked firmware. Download official firmware of your nearest region and flash it.
Where do you live and which carrier do you use?

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.
