Good day, my I9505 won't update to 4.3 via OTA. Still stuck to 4.2.2
i dont know what's causing this problem. Im from south east asia and 4.3 update was released last year. checked my devices if it's rooted, installed root checker *deivice does not have proper root access*. How can i tell my device if it's rooted or not? Can you tell me what's causing this problem? Is it region locked? Newbie here.
Pls help! Thanks!

Try using Kies PC software to update. It will let you know if your phone has been modified and refuse to update

It came from germany so feel free to download the file from here ,But the best thing you can do is flash a pre-rooted 4.2.2 rom man then flash any 4.3 custom rom you like just to avoid that Knox Warranty Void , so incase you got a problem later you can just go back to 4.2.2 but this is up to you.

thanks! so if my phone came from Germany, there is no way I cant update my phone via OTA and Kies because now the phone is now in Philippines? pls enlighten me on this.
I have no knowledge on flashing nor rooting a phone, can you give me step by step instructions? or is there any other way to update my phone officially? (requires no rooting or flashing) THANKS!

I bought it in Kosovo, seems it comes from Macedonia
The most common way is to install Samsungs Kies and do an firmware update in the program. This will check automatically whether an update is available for you.

I did check update but message was you have latest update.
I patch registry with kies 1.7 and update to 2.2.1,
After update all went OK.
now I have
PDA: I9000XXJPY
Phone: I9000XXJPY
CSC: I9000XAJPY
Build info: 2010.12
is all OK?
Hi everyone
I wanted to ask you a question.
In short: Are Kies and OTA are connected? I mean if Kies reports it doesn't support my firmware so I won't get OTAs too?
Detailed: I flashed two weeks ago the German stock rom DBT for I9505 (MJ5).
The reason I did that is because I couldn't get updates via Kies with the last firmware, I had:
PDA: ME2, PHONE: ME2, CSC: MDB(BTU)
I understood ME2 stands for Nordic countries and the product code (BTU) is for England so I couldn't get updates through Kies.
I flashed the German stock rom via Odin and all went OK but afterwards when I connected the device to Kies I still had BTU in CSC:
PDA: MJ5, PHONE: MJ5, CSC: MJ5(BTU)
My question is why is it like that? Wasn't the CSC supposed to change to DBT?
And so the main question: Will this interfere me to get OTA updates from Germany when they will be out? Because Kies still keeps saying that it doesn't support my firmware.
Thanks in advance

I mean, when I updated to JB4.3 from 4.2.2 and rooted my phone, The knox counter incresed to 0x1; this was the reason I allways have thought OTA and kies updates notifications will never work again.
Anyway, In my case I can no more update by OTA or kies because I rooted the phone in 4.3 (or better, because of the knox counter increasing), but for buckups and so on I can use it normally, except I had to download kies version 3, the only kies version compatible with S4 JB 4.3, maybe you still have kies version 2.
Hi everyone,
first of all i hope it`s not a double thread, I could not find any BTU discussion of 4.3.
I`m getting really lost in this OTA / Kies compatibility over here..
My S4 was rooted now I`m trying to restore it to official state to make it OTA update compatible again.
The phone was bought in UK, GSM phone.
There was a matching firmware, which should be compatible for updates here, but i keep getting the same "Your firmware is not supported..." error message again and again.
Details:
AP: I9505XXUEMJ7
CP: I9505XXUEMJ7
CSC: I9505BTUEMJ8
Current binary: Samsung Official
System status: Official
Later on 2nd try:
AP: I9505XXUEMJ7
CP: I9505XXUEMJ8
CSC: I9505BTUEMJ8
Current binary: Samsung Official
System status: Official
So far after trying to help my problem with Google all I got, that I9505XXUEMJ7+I9505XXUEMJ7+I9505BTUEMJ8 is the latest official state and BTU is for the UK.
If someone could explain what is wrong here, I would be very happy.
Thanks.
Thread says the same, that I`m using the correct version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
Is my question so stupid or is it an unique problem that I have so no one will reply?
Maybe I'm missing something here but have you reverted to stock, stock recovery and Triangle Away first. You cannot receive OTA updates or Kies if your device is rooted or has a custom recovery etc...
Yes, Triangle away done, stock rom, stock recovery.
Cool, is BTU the correct firmware for you? Are you on a different carrier there? Can you flash the stock ROM you want through ODIN? (gotta run for lunch but I'm sure someone better than I will help)
restock
put phone into download mode
open kies select firmware upgrade initialisation
enter model number and serial number in capitals
make sure both are correct you can find it on the box or under the battery.
Thanks everyone, I`m gonna do it all over again this evening. BTU is correct for me, its unbranded gsm unlocked phone from UK.
Edit: Boring day in job here.. redone the whole thing and it works now.
Thank you everyone, again.

What region are you in? -- if you flashed a region you are not in, of course KIES won't work as it's not for your country.

XTC shown in your KIES should be your version (So I believe) You have flashed a different region, so KIES and OTA won't work for your region at least, the OTA update will come from the region you flashed (in your case Singapore) However if you're rooted etc, you won't be able to receive the OTA update and you'll have to manually download it. I wouldn't worry right now, wait for KK to roll out properly then switch.

Hi,
What model of phone do you have? The LTE SM-N9005? If so (and I hope someone could either second this or correct me if i'm wrong) I believe you could flash via odin (and you do not need to be rooted to do this) the lollipop update that O2 has. 5.0 is available for the UK via the sammobile website, so if the basebands remain the same and the phone is the same model, I believe you could just download the 5.0 update from sammobile and flash it via odin.
Since you would be flashing an official version of sammy's rom, you won't need to be rooted, nor have a custom recovery.
Cheers

so, you are using the sm-n9005, and the firmware u have is the same one as the firmware that the 02 UK version runs in 4.4.2.
Unless I'm mistaken, and if anyone sees I am please correct me, you could flash the 5.0 version with odin for o2 UK. I don't see why it wouldn't work, since it seems you have the same phone and firmware currently in 4.4.2
cheers

Your device is using of UK (with CSC: BTU). It still without Lollipop update. I recommend don't flash via ODIN any firmware and wait for future updates (via OTA) if you aren't rooted.
