If you are on 4.3 baseband and don't mind the possibility of voiding warranty then
here is the direct download link for cf-autorooter by chainfire for your phone:
http://download.chainfire.eu/316/CF-...xx-gti9505.zip
Unzip into empty folder and use Odin which is in the zip to flash the TAR.MD5 file.
Good luck!

Hmm.. Gonna think about that autorooter..
I more confident in manually rooting like what I did at my old phone.. maybe I'll just try the site.
Yeah, I have always used the cf-autoroot with odin, fast simple and clean
It will trip the knox vw thingy, but I didnt mind.

Baseband: I337MUMUAMG3
Kernel: 3.4.0-1163001
Build number: JDQ39
Selinux status: permissive
Sent from my SGH-I337M using xda premium
I am on the same boat... I do have this device since a month. Had it rooted with motochopper with out-of-the-box firmware PDA: I337MUMUAMDJ Changelist: 518267 Android: 4.2.2 then unrooted to do the OTA update to the latest released firmware PDA: I337MUMUAMG3 Changelist: 1163001 Android: 4.2.2
Now I tried the motochopper again and it says "failed" and/or that su binary is outdated ??? Do not know what it means, only that don't have su permission. Under about device it does reads "SELinux status: Persmissive" with Baseband version: I337MUMUAMG3
Does the Baseband is locked or what? I do not know a lot... please help! Thanks in advance.

Hi!
Im from Croatia and I want to update my Galaxy S4 GT-I9505. My Galaxy is locked on T-Mobile so I downloaded official firmware for my S4.
I found this metod on DroidViews and I think it is very simple metode to do OTA update.
Current:
Number of model: GT-I9505
Android: 4.2.2
Basic version: I9505XXUAMDC
Kernel: 3.4.0-431985 [email protected] - 137#1 Thu Apr 11 22:42:13 KST 2013
Number of version: JDQ39.I9505XXUAMDC
I have downloaded:
CRO-I9505XXUDMH7-20130910164421
I have some questions:
1. Is this metode safe?
2. If I have KNOX on my S4 (my currently version is I9505XXUAMDC) will this metode activate it, if it does what then?
3. After I update my firmware with this metod, will I be able to upadte my software in future ia Kies?
4. Can I brick my S4 with this metod?
5. What I can do if something goes wrong (for example if my S4 get stuck on rebooting)?
6. Do I lose my warranty if I fo update with this metod?
I am NOOB in this so help me if you can.
Excuse me for my bad english.
Thanks!
- What u downloaded no is a OTA update, is a STOCK FULL Firmware. U cant install it by Custom Recovery
- U can flash the firmware u downloaded (MH7) with ODIN 3.09, but this will void ur warranty too (Knox 0x1)
- The best u can do is wait for T-mobile updates and update ur phone with Kies for keep ur warranty
Can you give me some link with update which I can do with recovery, links on hotfile are dead.

Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 Original
I am having the problem of not seeing the option in Network menu to enable 4G/LTE. I am running 4.3 right now. Our service provider Ooredoo in this country (Maldives) has released 4G and several others with the same model phone as mine can switch to 4G. I was wondering if there is any fix for this. I did hear about rooting the phone and deleting a file to fix this problem. I can't find out which file. and I have already downloaded a 4.3 firmware that said would fix the problem and flashed it. But there is no change.
And I am looking for the 4.4 Official Firmware for Galaxy S4 I9505 which can be used in my country.. Maldives.
And also is it possible to Downgrade the phone back to 4.3 after I flash 4.4?? From what I know so far it isnt.
I will post more information about the phone soon. Don't have it atm.
Thanks for any help you guys can provide.

Alright so I was directed to a firmware on Sammobile
/firmwares/3/?download=27582
Model: GT-I9505
Model name: GALAXY S4 LTE
Country: Unknown
Version: Android 4.4.2
Changelist: 481100
Build date: Wed, 19 Mar 2014 10:39:06 +0000
Product Code: OMD
PDA: I9505XXUFNC9
CSC: I9505OMDFNC1
MODEM: I9505XXUFNC9
Does the country being Unknown have any effect on the firmware? The I9505XXUFNC9 firmware is said to be the international one but there is one on Sammobile that has country/carrier of Russia.
Thanks.

Thanks for the responce guys but downloading from SamMobile gives only few KB/s which will take ages to download i was able to download
{I9505XXUFNB8_I9505OXAFNB8_I9505XXUFNB8} from a torrent site am not sure if i can flash it with other region's OS
If your phone is not locked u can install any region firmware By doing so, you will break the link between the phone's Product Code and its firmware CSC.
This means you will not get Kies updates.

Well...
Which 4.4.4 Custom rom do you want to flash..??
Check the firnware on which the ROM is based..you ought to have the same firmware..
Never flash anything for i9505 on i9500 or i9506.
I9505 Roms are specific for i9505
I9500 ROMS are specific fora I9500
Have a backup. If anything goes wrong you can always restore the old rom without any data loss.
Always follow the steps in the OP. NEVER TRY ANYTHING BY YOURSELF, because devs do know better than us.
Things you need:
The custom ROM
A custom recovery
The same firmware as is it in the rom.
Just flash the rom by following steps in the Original Thread of the rom..

There are many roms availabe mate..you have to select what suits you..like the S5 looking roms or the AOSP or AICP..Check in the GALAXY S4 I9500 Android Developement...
Nothing india or usa specific..
You ought to have the firmware..just that..
Like if a roms is based on XXUGNG8 then flash XXUGNG8 official firmware, Install recovery and flash the zip of the ROM. Just dont flash a network specific rom..
