[Q] New I9505, Should I upgrade to 4.3 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ive just got my new unlocked I9505 in UK, but I just use Stock Roms.
Does 4.3 still have the battery drain issues and problems.
Which version of the Rom did Samsung fix the I9505 camera shutter lag bug.
Thanks

1. If u just use Stock Roms, update via Kies without problem. Remember that for Android 4.2.2 u can use Kies but for Android 4.3 u will have to use Kies3
2. Im using 4.3 (latest version) and i dont have battery drain issues
3. Camera lag either

If you are rooted use Triangle Away to reset the flash counter and after that go straight to download mode and flash a stock rom with Odin. After the flash do a data factory reset and you have the phone as you initialy got it

How to use Odin see this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372414.
Samsung oficial firmware see www.sammobile.com/firmware, you have to register first before you can download!
After this you are full stock if you flash the rom of your country/region and you will receive all OTA`s again.
hi all. I will be thankful if u can help me.
i have 9505 and when I connect it to my PC via USB instead of being charging , it will be warm and charge become decrease percent by percent. I have Stock Rom.whats Wrong with it??

Have you got the correct drivers installed by Kies? Tried another usb port (no hub)? Are you using the original usb cable?

Its not as hard as it seems to use Odin:
1. Close Kies, also in windows task manager!
2. Enable usb debugging on the phone.
3. Open Odin 3.04 as administrator
4. Place the downloaded rom that is unzipped ONCE and shows a .md5 file in PDA
5. Phone in downloadmode (after you used to reset the flash counter with Triangle Away)
6. Connect the phone with usb to Odin (IDCOM should light up and show a com number)
7. Press start and flash the rom.
Reboot and data factory reset in settings/accounts/reset
Done
Best answer.. easy to understand.. thanksss

BTW sir,.. i cant find any model of Samsung galaxy s4 GTi9505
can u help me to find th original firmwares?
You can try this rom with odin
http://samsung-updates.com/details/12205/Galaxy_S_4_Snapdragon/GT-I9505/XEF/I9505XXUBMGA.html
it's the last official rom from France. the only issue if it's not the right region code for your country is to had just issue with carrier network
why i choose the link from france ? cauz no specific region code for turkey and france is close to france (in geographical situation).
but if you remind the region code of your first stock rom i can try to find a link for the it
this is the easiest way to unroot and go back to stock and official galaxy s4 with TW.
follow this simple guide .

u have to read carefully in the OP, mate. Install the stock version through odin.
If in doubt, just ask in the thread.
Just ignore what Samsung told u.
They just out to scare u.
Don't worry about other things.

alright! lets just start off by saying im an android noob. i have minimal basic knowledge of installing a custom rom, but i picked it up very quickly. tried installing cyanogen mod, screwed up, tried booting phone, didnt work. wiped the system, didnt work. used odin, that didnt work and now i'm at "firmware upgrade encountered an issue." i cannot connect the phone to kies, so i cannot do a emergency reboot. (Does anyone know the reboot code?) then I tried using odin again, and that says "failed (auth)" I read on one of the threads that instead of the mdr file that it might be an me7 (i think)?
dont worry i've learnt my lesson, i just want my phone back :/
im so upset and angry at myself, the phone is only 2 weeks old
please help..

Its doesnt matter as long as its an official rom, just know that once go to kikat theres no way to go back to jelly bean, u should look for the steps to flash the rom, it pretty simple.

Don't update. the KitKat version has a lot of problems!
For one, the SD Card read/write problem.
Second, for me, I have a problem with device heating while gaming and doing some intense things on KitKat.
