Has anyone heard when the Tri-Band MK5 will get the OTA upgrade?
It's been out for a few days now. I don't think anyone's snatched the manual download link though.

I flashed Android 4.4 to my international s4, but I don't get any signal at all when I'm in LTE mode. But when im in cdma / gsm mode I get full signal. So I searched the interwebs and found that most people are having trouble in nexus with this 4.4 update.
Nexus 4.4 poor signal:

I don't want to go back to samsung's crappy implementation. I really feel in love in 4.4 so I don't want to go back. Please upload for me the stock radio img of s4 so i can experience google 4.4
thanks!

I am having some issues enabling aws on my rogers i337M. I understand how to do it have have done it many times. But not since the new 4.3 update and cant seem to figure out how to get around it. I know it is possible as It is advertised locally.
I know a simple downgrade rom via odin is not possible as I lose my wifi and signal...
Could anyone help??
Please let me know if this is the right section to be posting!

Try flashing the MDL modem.
Hey guys, i've searched through the forums and as yet I havn't ran into anyone with the same problem. I bought a Galaxy s4 from gumtree, and it turns out its a i9507 with optus branded firmware. I really want to update to the new 4.3 software, but cant do that as optus hasnt released anything (and wont for ages). I'm wondering if any of you had the link for an unbranded version of the official samsung firmware, so in the future i can simply update when samsung releases new software. I've only ever found i9505 updates, and seeing though thats not my exact model number i've restrained from updating (as i'm not sure of any possible issues associated with this). I've attached a screenshot for reference, and any help would be greatly appreciated!
WAIT!!!!
WAIT!!!! Even if you find a firmware DONT DO IT!!! I have the galaxy S4 I9507, it's the newest version and only released in Australia and Hong Kong. I have an unbranded one (through virgin, which are owned by optus but you usually get a non carrier specific version)
It's not otus that isn't releasing the firmware, it's samsung, they have for other versions yes, but the I9507 has a different speed processor than all of them and a different processor all together than the earlier versions.
Unless you can get an unbranded firmware specifically for the I9507 (not I9506 or I9505) you could possibly damage your phone and definitely void any warranty or insurance.
I wan't to update to 4.3 but it's samsung that has to release that update for this model, optus can't do anything until they receive it, by which time we will have already found it without the optus branding elswhere.
You can maybe hound samsung but I doubt that will get you far, I am going to kee on it though, will let you know if I get anywhere
Forgot to mention: because it is only a AUS and HK version the only place it could possibly be released before here is Hong Kong. I doubt Samsung would wait long if at all to release the AUS firmware if not at the same time as the Hong Kong. Meaning as soon as the update is available it will be automatically notified to you through kies or an OTA update. Unfortunately there is no getting it quicker from elsewhere as there is no elsewhere right now.

hi all.
i bought my note 3 from three uk in about oct. i flashed the stock samsung firmware which rid it of the three branding and should have opened it up to getting faster updates. it shows in kies as PDA:MJ7 PHONE:MJ7 CSC:MJ4 (H3G)
unless i'm mistaken, it is still showing some of the effects of being bought from Three, the (h3g) bit. will this stop me getting an update? it still says no software update available both on phone and via kies.
also, any idea when and how i should receive the 4g update as 4g is now in my area, birmingham?
thanks

Factory data wipe and check again?
Hi. Thanks for the reply. I was trying to avoid that if possible, is there a chance that I will still get the update our will that (h3g)part stop it?

I think you should wait for a bit. Although I can't get a full comprehensive reply from 3 in the UK I'm now being told a carrier update enables 4G and although it's available in some areas it's still rolling out. I'm in exactly the same position as you and updated my phone to the Polish rom in the thought that the LTE option would be available in the settings (it still isn't) and there's still an amount of confusion surrounding the whole process. I'm going to give up and wait till something concrete emerges. If you get anywhere with it I'd appreciate a pm or update and I'll return the favour if I do :good:

Thanks jdomadia. My handset is a sim free model, CSC united emirates flashed with Polish KK rom. I doubt I would see a benefit to flashing a branded 3 KK rom on my device?

No So far Poland firmware is problem free & stable so not advisable to unnecessarily flash another.
No problem.
Any idea on the 4.4.2 update?
Go to Settings-About phone-Software Update & check for OTA update, otherwise connect to Kies & try for H3G Kitkat is available now.
tried both those methods and neither allows update. both say latest firmware installed

i gave up waiting. i backed my data and factory reset to see if it helped. low and behold, the update that enabled 4g downloaded straight after the first boot and then 4.4.2 downloaded also.
good luck
Good day everybody

You are out of luck, there is currently only one way to unlock the L720T for international use, and that is calling Sprint and doing it through them. You must have had the phone for 90 days, be activated on Sprint, or have a valid reason to unlock before the 90 days. The regular Sprint tech support can't help you, you must call Sprint Worldwide or International to get to the right person. If you bought this phone to use outside the US exclusively and not activate on Sprint than sell it now. Only the original Sprint S4 can be unlocked manually.
