Hello,
I have a Galaxy S4 unlocked Argentina, model GT-9500 Android 4.3 baseband version I9500UBUEMK1
Two days ago, checking for OTA upgrades, I was surprised that a new upgrade was available (I think it was about 390 Mb), so I suppose it is 4.4.2 kitkat (great!).
However, I was not ready to accept the download at that time because my battery charge was not at full, then I canceled after a partial download.
Today, I´m ready to apply the upgrade, but ... it is not available anymore: I receive a message "The latest upgrades have been applied".
Is it that Samsung retired the upgrade, or that my phone "thinks" that it was upgraded because of that partial download ?? In such a case, how can I go back with my phone to the point before the partial upgrade download ?
Thank you very much.
Pablo.
Samsung haven't android 4.4.2 for ur device with CSC: Argentina. This update was a minor one that was installed for sure unknowingly. OTA or Kies 3 doesn't lie. Enjoy ur latest version till KitKat arrives :highfive:

Thank you for your feedback, but ... no, this upgrade was not applied since I have aborted its download. Also, I keep a screenshot of my "About device" to follow upgrades, and nothing have changed.
My oppinion is that there WAS an upgrade there, but it was removed.
I have checked SAMMOBILE for the kitkat upgrade for my country, and it is not available. However, in the past, the 4.3 upgrade was published OTA, and SAMMOBILE reported it a week later...
Anyone had the same symptom as me ??

PDA:MDK / PHONE:MDK / CSC:MDK (XFE)

Unless you're located in Mexico and have the N900W8, or you're located in Poland, you won't get the update yet. Please be patient.
I'm using a Czech T-mobile S4 GT-I9505 which is currently running firmware 4.3 (baseband I9505XXUEMKF) and am unclear about whether I'll be able to get an official update to 4.4.2 via my Singapore carrier (Starhub) at any point. I can't go via Kies, it says the device doesn't support firmware initialization.
Any advice would be welcome, thanks very much in advance.

1. Android 4.3 and android 4.4.2 use KIES 3.
2. When u conect ur phone to Kies 3, you dont need press Tools -> Firmware Upgrade and Initialization. The update, if u have any, will pop up automatically (example in pic 1 attached).
3. If Kies 3 tell u that can't update is coz the old owner installed one firmware with wrong CSC.
- Go to Kies 3 and you will see ur CSC (its your zone code) like the pic 2 attached.
- Knowing ur CSC, take a look for this firmware in Sammobile.com
- Download and flash it with ODIN (Dont flash a "Black EDITION" if ur phone isnt it)
- Enjoy
Thanks for the reply.
Actually, this was a new phone, but it was purchased as a grey market import. I should have said that I have tried to go via Kies but it tells me I have the latest firmware. So does the phone OTA update.
Could it be that the OTA update is still connecting to the update server for Czech S4 phones and there hasn't been a 4.4.2 rollout there yet? If so, it looks like I have to root it if I want to go to 4.4.2.

Conect it to Kies 3 and attach screenshot pls :highfive:
Hello,
I'v bought a GALAXY S5 G900F before two months, and it hasn't received the lollipop update, yet. I bought it from Saudi Arabia and now I've moved to Jordan (should that be a problem?)
I cannot wait anymore and I want to manually upgrade to Lollipop and I've got few questions.
1) Is it okay if I download a firmware for another CSC code? mine is (G900FOJV1AOA1) and in sammobile the latest downloadable firmware is 4.4.2.
2) If I root the mobile afterwards and a 5.0.1 was released OTA or via Kies, how can I get it? can I un-root to get the update then root it back?
3) Is there a way to reset the KNOX counter?
4) Are there any better websites than sammobile to download the firmware and how can I ensure if it is legit and untouched?
5) Why do different countries get the update so late? this is so irritating. why cannot Samsung just make the update available for everyone ? especially for the international unlocked versions.
Thanks in advance,

1-yes but if you want stability for modem choose same reigon code (ex.XXU-BLABLA for russia\egypt\saudi arabia like that ... see your current firmware code and find the one with the same ... if not its no big deal its that some people say its better ... imho get the latest by samsung any area make sure its international)
2-umm no and yes ... no if u just unroot ... yes if you make a full wipe after unrooting (ofcourse with not deleting any system apps in partition :silly: )
3-until now .... no ... but its simple ... you have warrenty stay away ... u dont ... just go and screw it :laugh: :silly:
4-yes but sammobile is the best and fastest ... another site is samsung-updates ... it gives you new firmwares faster than sammobile but download speed is pathetic for ul.to and other mirror
5-i dunno for real but keep in mind that 99.999% of samsung phones which gets the updates are "russian" ones ... so if you have the russia stock rom you will be the first to get an OTA by 99.999% :fingers-crossed: :silly:
hope i helped
Greetings,
My name is Hisham and I have a Galaxy Note 3 LTE unlocked; I can't wait any longer for the official lollipop update to reach my phone via OTA or kies (I live in the UAE) so I am thinking to update manually using Odin and the official update released in Poland (or any other official release for that matter)! My question is: let's say that everything went smooth and I got the update; what will happen to my phone afterwards? and how it will affect my phone? let us say that the official update reached my region (UAE) what can I do then? and finally, will I still be able to write and receive SMS and email in Arabic as well as English ( I mean can I still download any keyboard and language?)
This is my build number for reference N9005XXUGNJ2 (I don't know if it will help)
Thanks for the help in advance

1. The CSC code of United Arab Emirates is called XSI (no UAE). Install this APP for know more info about your device anyway.
2. I do not recommend update your device manually if your device with your actual firmware (N9005XXUGNJ2) is going ok and smooth. Wait for the official update.
Thanks for the reply; I guess I have to wait for the official update now. I hope it will be soon :fingers-crossed:
