hey guys, yesterday i updated my i9500 via ODIN with the official 4.3 firmware, but afterwards when i tried connecting via Kies, it throws up the error firmware not supported on Kies.
Kindly help me.
I would like to know if my phone has been rooted?? As i do not want to root my cell and just want to install the official 4.3 firmware
I downloaded the official firmware for India 4.3 from Sammbile.com, also would like to know whether i need to install the INU or INS firmware.
My Model No. is GT-I9500ZKAINU. Please help me!!
Thanks in advance...

Have you not seen on this forums how 4.3 is such a baddie? But yeah as they guy/girl said above reinstall kies and if that doesnt work clear the cache or whatever on your S4?
Hi folks, I have recently updated my Note 3 SM-N9005 from Kitkat 4.4.2 to Lollipop using the BL, CSC, CP AND PIT Files. But I didnt like Lollipop, lots of bug like no NFC, alarm doesnt work with flip cover, gps issue, etc.. So flasked original firmware (O2 Germany) with odin 9 but no luck. After successful installation my Note 3 just stuck at Galaxy Note 3 screen. Even tried factory reset, wipe data not still stuck at the welcome screen. Is there a way to install kitkat original firmware?
You updated the bootloader so no. Just reflash the beta and wait for official update. Or you can try CM11
revert from android 5.0 to 4.4.2
Download this rom with 5 files with pit file and flash with odin, and do a wipe/factory reset before and after, then u can flash latest rom for your phone from sammobile.

I have tried these options but result is the same, Note 3 doesnt boot and stuck at the welcome screen. As Jack said, looks like I am stuck with lollipop beta for Note 3

Yes, I did that. Your UK firmware (UFNF4) and O2 Germany could install successfully but Note 3 wont boot. However,DBT firware couldnt install, odin gave error is initially installation process. Eventually I had to install leaked lollipop

I think the .pit file for Lollipop makes the system partition smaller, so it's only normal that no KitKat can boot, as to why after flashing a KitKat .pit you can't boot up, I don't know. You could have booted up Lollipop without the .pit for it, you know, I didn't, and I can revert to a KitKat backup anytime without any issues.
But yeah, you might have to stay on Lollipop for a couple more weeks until we get an official update.

Hi, is your issue resolved?
I'd like to tell that I have successfully rolled back to 4.4.2 GNG1 BTU ROM from the Leaked 5.0 ROM.
I had luckily backed up my original PIT file from 4.4.2 ROM before upgrade to Lollipop leak. As there were many bugs with the leak, i decided to restore a Nandroid backup of kitkat. But it failed miserably as all the apps started crashing. So I did a fresh flashing of 4.4.2 GNG1 BTU rom with my Backup PIT file. And now everything is working fine for me.
I have 32GB N9005 model. Let me know if you need the PIT file for the same.
It would be great if you can share the pit file with me. I desperately need to go back to 4.4.2. I too have 32 GB SM-N9005 model from O2 Germany
worked successfully for me
I had same issue when I was downgrading to 4.4.2 , but it worked for me :
1- install leaked Lollipop via pc odin ( no need pit file)
2- boot your phone up and if you see welcome screen it means you still are cool
3- download nad install 4.4.2 GNG1 via pc odin, and dont let it to boot up
4- go to stock recovery mode and wipe your phone
5- reboot your phone and hopefully you will be fine

On my first link i give you, u have the pit file for 4.4.2 and all the files u need to revert to 4.4.2, all u have to do is to download that rar and ur problem is solved.
So guys, I now able to downgrade to 4.4.2. As you have guys suggested, I used pit file sokar_goauld (32GB N9005) and used GNG1 BTU ROM, the way RedApple has suggested. Now everything is back to 4.4.2 though not the German O2 firmware.
Thank you guys!
I have one more question, can I now flash O2 Germany firmware on this GNG1 BTU ROM without any pit file? Seems like O2 Germany bootloader/firmware is an older version, so not sure if further downgrading to original O2 Germany firmware is possible without any issues?
Have a nice weekend.

i think there is something wrong with flashing lollipop on your device. i already tried flashing lollipop and i downgrade it to kitkat successfully without error... many people say that its ok to downgrade from lollipop to kit kat... like me im on kitkat now because i dint like lollipop so many bugs. i will wait the official update..
That's good!
Now I'm eagerly waiting for the Official Lollipop
Thanks you Guys
I did as ssn1978 did with the suggested files from RedApple and sokar_goauld and i just wanted to say.....
Thank you guys, God bless you
I started losing hope going back to kitkat or even reviving my Note 3 back...
And now it's alive thanks to you
But i'm facing a problem now, i can't go back to my NF4 BTU, the same old problem happened again :S do i have to stuck with NG1 ? :S

Your bootloader is now locked to 4.4.4 and you cannot go back. you need 4.4.4 firmware. I'm on 4.3 so you'll need to do some reading but the answer is here.

New to the forum but I do know a bit about custom ROMS and flashing (I think)
So basically, I own a Chinese variant Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9508) that is rooted and currently in Android 4.3 Jellybean. Recently I saw some sites with unofficial firmware updates for this model (I9508) to Android 5.0.1 Lollipop and decided to give it a go at flashing. Tried about 3 different MD5 files using Odin v3.10, but every time it would fail, saying that no PIT files are found. So I then proceeded to look for PIT files for the I9508 model online, without any success. Do I need a PIT file for this? Or am I missing something else?
Dunno what's going on. Any answers will be much appreciated
thx
bump?

You can flash via ODIN the latest LOLLIPOP stock rom OFFICIAL for your device: HERE.
Ok I don't even know where to start. The s4 i9507 model is a specific model of the s4 released in Australia on optus network. From what I understand, it is the exact same phone as the s4 i9505. What I am trying to do is flash an unbranded ROM (xsa) for the i9505 onto the i9507. I downloaded the firmware from sammsmobile, but while trying to flash the phone it keeps coming up <ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/003> FAIL! (Auth).
I don't understand why this may be happening. I have rooted the phone, I have read other forums that suggest to wipe the phone altogether?
P.S please only helpful suggestions, I don't need anyone telling me it's not a good idea to flash a ROM that's meant for another version because the i9505 and i9507 are the exact same phone/specs.
Anyone?
Flash i9507 stock firmware.

So is the GT-I9515, yet ROMs from GT-I9505 don't work on it.
Anyway, your problem may be a result of a faulty USB connection or cable. In other words, father USB wants to try another woman's hole

There is no unbranded stock rom for the i9507. It was released specifically for optus australia and asia. So the only stock rom i can get still has the telco's logos on boot up and shut down, I did see if i could find the file to delete them but couldn't see it anywhere

The only helpful solution here is to flash a custom ROM. Attempting to install I9505 firmware on the I9507 will always fail as Odin compares the firmware to the device. Odin will refuse to install the firmware if there is a mismatch.

Funny you say that because odin recognizes the device as an i9505 not what it actually is (i9507)

And yet, Odin rejects it, meaning a mismatch. Ergo, Odin is doing its job and rejecting the ROM you're attempting to install. Therefore the only viable solution is to install a custom ROM.
Could u recomend one thats not full of bloatware? I tried cyanogenmod 13 and it was terrible

Well, I'd consider the entirety of Cyanogenmod to be bloatware since very little testing is done to the source code. However, if you believe Cyanogenmod to be bloatware, then you clearly want to install an AOSP ROM, as that's about as bloatware free as it gets.
If you want unbranded gt-i9507 the only available is the hk version. You can find the firmware here:
