Update your Kies. If this doesnt work reset your phone to factory data and then try to update. Or the best option is to download the official firmware through Sammobile. And next time post in Q&A section.

Make sure an upgrade is available for your phone carrier and or for your region.
If not, you can't update OTA or Kies.
Also make sure you are not rooted.
Then read the tutorial and use Odin if you really want an update.

[Q] need some help, please..

I'm Indonesian and I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9500).
It's about a Month ago, I Downloaded a Jelly Bean 4.3 Firmware from Sammobile's Firmwares Database but I Forgot which Firmware that I've Downloaded.
I check "About Device" section on my phone, I see Kernel Version : 3.4.5-2092849, [email protected] #1, Thu Nov 21 12:59:52 KST 2013.
Then I check Sammobile's Firmwares Database, I found a Jelly Bean 4.3 Firmware with Build date: Thu, 21 Nov 2013 04:05:08 +0000 that released on January 2014 (I dont know the Kernel Version, there is no information there).
Link for the Firmwares Database : http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9500&pcode=XSE#firmware
My Question : Is That The Same JB 4.3 Firmware that I've Downloaded ??
English is not my native language, so sorry if my English is bad, but I hope you can understand me.
Thank You..
What exactly are you after.Your English is good, but it makes no sense.
Normally someone would download a rom from sammobile and keep it on ones pc.Then they would see whats what.
If you dial *#1234# it shows info about rom etc.
If I try to guess what you mean, then your post is ridiculous.
All you said is "you downloaded a rom".Not I downloaded, then installed the rom.
Why are you after the same/another rom?.

Note 2 going back to stock - help please :)

Hi all,
I've got a GT-N7100 and I'm currently running Ditto Note 3. I struggled to find which firmware my phone was meant to run on stock. Its a South African phone so I downloaded the XFE 4.1.2 one for South Africa.
I tried installing that and in the process it lost the IMEI. I went back to DN3 and the IMEI is back and all is working. I really want to go back to stock 4.1.2. Is there something I'm doing that's wrong?
Screen when I was still on stock is the following:
Model Number: GT-N7100
Android version: 4.1.2
Baseband version: N7100XXDLK7
Kernel version: 3.0.31-1071214

SMP PREEMPT Wed Mar 17 10:33:53 KST 2013
Build number: JZO54K.N7100XXDMC3
Screen on DN3 is the following:
Model Number: GT-N7100
Android version: 4.3
Baseband version: N7100XXUEMJ9
Kernel version: 3.0.31-2138564

Thanks for all the help

But first back up you're IMEI from the link below, since almost certainly you're gonna lose it, and restore back later.

[Q] Noob gifted phone. Can't upgrade from 4.3?

Hey there xda.
I received this Galaxy S4 from a friend of mine who I no longer have contact with. For a while, I've tried upgrading from 4.3 to 4.4 using the regular in-phone option with no luck. It goes through the download and installation and optimization of apps but it still stays at 4.3. My friend had told me he had rooted and messed with the software on the phone but that it should be fine. I just can't seem to get the automatic update to work.
When I look in the 'About Phone' option, I see the following:
Software Version: L720VPUEMJA
Hardware Version: L720.08
Model Number: SPH-L720
Android Version: 4.3
Baseband Version: :720VPUEMJA
Kernal Version: 3.4.0-1927016

How do I go about manually updating to the most recent version of Android? I'm a complete noob with this and have never done it before. Can anyone point me to things I need to download and the steps I need to follow to upgrade?

Thank you. Any time frame as to when will Samsung release it for my phone ?
Is the update available for your friends' Note 3 phones while not for yours?
Are your carriers the same one? If yes, and you just did not received the update notification message, try to manually update yourself. Settings - General - About device - Software updates.
I just got notification and upgraded from 4.4.2 last weekend. Good luck to you.

I did but it gives me a message, "The latest updates have already been installed".
I think my friends CSC was Saudi Arabia, that why he got the update.

Navigation bar

Hi, I bought my s8 on Saturday and as soon as I turned it on I threw the option to update, my friend also bought it the same day and also updated.
After updating my friend had the option to show and hide navigation bar and I did not.
I wonder what the error would be and how I could fix it.
Thank you.
