Dear all,
first of all, sorry if this question is repeated, but I couldn't find a good answer by searching.
I bought a i9505 Galaxy S4 that came with a version of Android that has been modified by the carrier. There's a lot of bloatware and everything, but worse, they haven't even released the Android 4.3.
Can I install a "default" firmware of a i9505 Galaxy S4, in order to solve this problem? Clean, carrier free?
If yes, can someone post a guide on how to do this? I'm completely new to this subject, have no experience at all.
Thank you very much in advance!
Anyone?
This problem is really annoying me...
Another try...
Is it possible to just flash android again or do I need to root my phone?
I'm new to Android.

You can directly flash a rom from your country free of branch (fob) or unbranched (ub), their updates are faster than carrier ones. You don't need to root the phone to do this.

Great, that already helps a lot. I'll find a way to do that. Thank you!

Well, searching in Sammobile I found out that my firmware is Brazil (VIVO) - ZVV. (Vivo is the carrier)
Can I just flash Brazil - ZTO (which is carrier free) with Samsung Kies?
Thank you!

You can flash that rom, but not with kies... kies will only update your installed rom, it is, zvv firmware. You must flash zto rom by Odin 3.09. It is easy, just search the forum.

Hi all!
I bought my Gnote online i sweden and the version of my phone is says this:
PDA:KKA / PHONE: KK5 / CSC: KK5 (AUT)
My question is what is (AUT)
And do I have the latest version?
Thank you
Best regards /equalness
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
Your phone is from austria (aut)
KKA is not the latest firmware but
it's the latest the phone comes shipped with.
There are two ROMs for Austria:
GT-N7000ZBAATO - N7000XXKKA/N7000OXXKK5/N7000XXKK5/N7000XXKKA 12/11/2011
GT-N7000ZBADRE - N7000XXLA4/N7000DREKL1/N7000NELA1/N7000XXLA4 16/01/2012
LA4 is the latest leaked for the moment.
Thanks now I known, but is it possible to change it to the Nordic version and get updates with kies / on the air?
Best regards and thank you for the info!

Switch to Nordic countries version
I think you can flash this FW to switch to Nordic countries version (you have to root ur phone first and use CWM Recovery to do flashing). Remember to Backup data!
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/137300051/62531bc/N7000XBKK4_N7000OXXKK5_NEE.zip.html
It's stock rom listed on http://www.samfirmware.com and for that, you can update OTA by Kies.
Thank you! Just another question before I flash.: do you think its necessary for me to flash to the Nordic version, or I can stay with this one?
Thanks in advance

Only in case you have to do special things directly with Nordic language. Otherwise, no need to do so if your device is working smoothly. Plus, UK/English versions trend to be updated very soon, if not the soonest.
It's my private opinion.
Hi all,
I'm fairly new to the rooting scene so please go easy on me if I sound a little stupid. I've done a bit of reading from time to time over the last few months and it seems like there are a lot of different opinions and theories about rooting to and from the official ROMs with Knox. I'm on the official 4.3 now so I've already got Knox installed.
I'm wondering if it's easy to simply root the phone so I can adjust some settings (Eg. turning the annoying shutter sound off on the camera), but not install any new ROM, without tripping the Knox flag? I don't want to lose any warranty and I want to be able to update OTA officially when new updates come out. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your help.
Not without voiding the Knox warranty, no. If that's important to you, forget about custom firmware.

Hmm damn! So it's loading custom firmware even without loading a custom ROM?
No way around that if you already have the Knox bootloader.

Not my case, but I have readen that only for i9505 (i9500 will not work) you can use VROOT to root the phone without warranty bit increasing... othercase, for 9500, no way...

Yes, search for "s4 vroot" in Google, there are several blogs with instructions. Only works in i9505.

Thanks but these quotes are a worry:
"I DONT SUPPORT NOR DO I USE THIS ANYMORE."
AND
"Kingo and vroot have been determined to be malware and unsafe for use, as such all threads will be closed and links removed.
Thank you"
The links provided for alternate solutions aren't making much sense to me.

You can download the b230 firmware and downgrade by fastboot. It's easy

I was afraid that because right now I'm no computer. I googled a lot and really have not found another way without being fastboot. apparently I have to wait for my computer. but thanks anyway for your answer. and in relation to the fact that the model does not appear Ale-UL00 is normal?

Enviado de meu ALE-UL00 usando Tapatalk
You have the balong bug it's why you haven't ALE-UL00.
But it's only wrong information, and in the Chinese version you didn't have the playstore.
how did u do it?

Hello. First I would like to say that I am running stock nougat on my phone. Version 137-78-4. The thing is I would like to emigrate to custom roms now but I want to be able to re stock and most importantly relock bootloader in case I have to. I cannot find a stock firmware for the version I'm running but Early versions and that would hard brick my phone. So what firmware should I use for my software version if I would like to relock my phone and come back to stock?.

sorry to re ask you this again. but i was not able to download from this site. tried every proxy and every vpn and still able. i really need help here. please.
I have a NANDroid made with TWRP ran with fastboot (ie. I didn't flash TWRP) if you're interested.
I restored from it and it looks like all the partitions are the stock ones, I was worried mainly about recovery and/or boot being somehow overridden by TWRP (it shouldn't have, but just in case).
The backup is for the XT1680 customized for Telcel (Mexico). It has some bloatware apps, but all of them except one allow uninstalling and the remaining one you can just disable/freeze.
Let me know if you want me to upload it.

Hi @neo9596
Unless I'm mistaken, Indian is Global Rom.
I update myself (Europe Phone buy on Realme Europe Website) using official update process (see first post). With locked bootlader, no problem at all for me.
I can't test with TWRP and/or unlocked bootloader.
