Hi,
So, I have GS4 I9505, and I live in Dubai (United Arab Emirates).
When the new 4.3 came out, I downloaded it, and installed it via ODIN, I think it was German, because I had some German apps pre-loaded.
Anyways, now we do have 4.3 here in Dubai but when I connect my device to KIES, it says I need KIES 3, and when I go there, it says:
That ny current firmware is not supported to be upgraded by kies.

I want to get back to my old firmware and I can't find it in AndroidFirmwares.net for UAE
I also lost my LTE connection, Is there is a way to get my old firmware back??
PS. My sister has the same device as I, only different color, can I some how make a copy of her firmware and install it on mine??
Thank U
U cant come back to 4.2.2 if u are in android 4.3. Ur phone is unbranded? Coz i see i can provide u latest firmware for ur region but only for the companies Etisalat and XSS

I don't know what do u mean by branded! but i think it's not branded!
Yes, my mobile service Provider is Etisalat, I will be grateful if u can provide me with it.
By the way, there is no XSS here! Only Etisalat & Du.
Thanks a lot!

1. XSS -> Unbranded for United Arab Emirates
2. Unbranded -> No brand, unlocked, free
3. About ur sister phone what u can do is: Go to Apps - Settings - More - About device and make a beatiful screenshot and paste it here for take a look what firmware is using

Hi pros, I owned a galaxy S II. I was happy with it and I suddenly wanted to upgrade as I wanted to keep up with the latest firmware. So I upgraded from Gingerbread 2.3.3 to 2.3.4. I downloaded the odin3 and I accessed the download mode so I started the upgrade. The upgrade was done but the phone didn't reboot! So I shut it down and rebooted and the phone turned like this

Flash another firmware from scratch using Odin. Use Intratech's ROMs, its under the Original Development section. If you want, you can use the latest XWKI4.

Where do you live exactly? ZC firmware is for Asian users. Do you live in Asia? If yes, feel free. Just use Intratech's pack for a change, and dont rush things.
You guys need to read more before trying to flash stuff on your phones, thank god Samsung made this phone difficult to brick
Click here and read carefully before flashing
Bare in mind these roms are for the international version I9100

Actually, no. Your phone is different to the international SGSII. Get it from Samfirmware.
Mind you it's a 3 package odin flash. You select Code for PDA, Modem for Phone, and CSC for CSC. No repartition, no pit file. Also make sure to select the above files first, THEN connect your phone to the pc, and start the flashing.

I suppose that's the right place to look at.
I am not certain about this, however. You *should* be able to flash the international software.
Do you remember the version of your old software? was it ZC?

I am not too sure what to suggest. You tried ZCKH2 and failed, is that correct? Odin said passed with green letters etc? Do you want to try that once more, then if it fails again, use an international firmware?

Before it got bricked, Odin showed a fail sign when I started the update. My phone was purchased from singapore by the way.

I need to update my Samsung Galaxy Y Duos GT-S6102 to 2.3.6 DDKL1.
I once tried to update, but I did something wrong and the phone didn't want to start. I gave it to my technician and he told me that I removed the reboot system or something and he got me 2.3.6 XXKL8. So, this is the question, Is there a SAFE way for me, not to loose my data, messages and other items and updating to 2.3.6 DDKL1?
And I got another question. I installed a Font with Font Installer and only the keypad changed the font. The other text didn't change. Any Help?
Thanks to that guy who solve these 2 questions
Sorry for my bad English
EDIT: I live in Malta

Hey, I think there's an official update for it so no need to take tension just go to settings > about phone > and software update ,,, either this or u can do it via ur pc just connect ur phone to pc(via usb data cable) and run kies just search for an available update ( else the kies will automatically tell u about an update) and just update ur phone officially no need to actually mess with odin............... but if u wan't to explore new things then try the odin method it's fun for the first time........ good luck:good:

And download the European version.. xxle3 xxlg3 xxlf3 one.. it doesn't have any problem as you mentioned..
Ans you are not able to update through kies.. because you are not having your region firmware currently.. if you have any friend who as same duos phone.. you can check in his phone for firmware for confirmation.. just make cwm backup before flashing through Odin..
After flashing.. go to cwm.. backup and restore option .. advanced restore option... restore data only.. reboot.. if you get force close for any apps.. clear data/cache of that app in manage application setting menu..

Yes you can cahnge your firmware with other one but you need to know what model is... for example is SM-G900F...., after this you need to enter on samsung-updates.com and search your device, after this look at wath region you want to have that firmewall..., after this press dowload and choose your link to be downloaded... After you download the firmewall you need to flash in your device with odin3... for falsh I recomand you to look on youtube....
First step search...

Now you need to download one of that... and flash with odin A yes and you can change your language from settings to french
If that not work maybe you have a Samsung Galaxy S5 only for china... and I don't know what you need to do...

You have to extract it first. Then you have to press pda on Odin and select the file you extracted it should end with . Md5 or .tar. After ghat you wait for Odin to check it and press start.

At the time of flashing this ftf you should uncheck option " wipe data " from flash tool...
Currently I have a locked bootloader and Android 4.4.4 stock . I want to update to Lollipop and thereby make a full wipe . Can I back up my data before and after restore ? If so, how ?
Sorry for my bad english

Well I have been running the Russian 4.4.4 as O2 UK were taking forever and recently my phone has been playing up and I'm having to reboot it a few times a week to get SMS' and occasionally I make a call and nobody can hear me. I'm wondering if I just need to re-flash or if what you said might be the problem.
