I recently flash my Samsung S4 9505 with 4.3 ROM, and to find out that the Samsung App application (Like Google play) is not available. Is there anyway I can install the Samsung app so that I caninstall all application I purchased under Samsung? Need help.
Thanks in advance.

Caution:
During instalation, you cannot use your device at all, even for emergency calls. Icons at the home screen and device settings may revert to default and may need to be reconfigured after installation. After installation your data will be preserved, but if you stop the installation incorrectly by removing the battery, your device might not work normally. To avoid unexpected data loss, we recommend that you back up important data before installation. If this installation fails, you can easily update your device via Samsung Kies (www.samsung.com).

Build number: JDQ39.I9195XXUBMJ7
As I understand this is for Region: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom
Well I let it a try and want to share my experience.
The update took 13 minutes from applying the update untill the full bootup. And drained 3% of a battery from 80% to 77%. All apps and icons on the home screen remained untouched.
Comment removed
Thanks for the details. Let us know if anything is improved

As read in another thread now you have the Knox warranty flag/counter.
You can see that when you bring your phone in download/odin mode.
And as I understood now you can't flash back older firmware, or root and flash custom roms without loosing your warranty (warranty void).
Look at this thread!

Waiting to install will see if there is anything interesting in this one.

I didn't think s4 mini was getting 4.3 this year. (I got an s4m for my wife)
My S4 is locked up with Knox now, I had to make the decision, stock/stable/official or root - stock isn't so bad.

It`s offically annonced that S4 mini will get 4.3 till the end of November and this is sure as Samsung anonce that Gear will support S4 Mini which mean 4.3 for us in the end of November.
As for the Rom I love the stock one and don`t need root as there is wifi tethering so I don`t need to play hacker just to have network on my laptop when traveling.

Do you have a source by chance? I know about the 4.3 and Galaxy Gear compatibility but don't remember reading anything about timing.

I think this will cover it.
A spokesperson for Samsung UK told CNET that Android 4.3 Jelly Bean "will be available across a range of Galaxy devices from mid-November, subject to software testing and approvals by individual networks."
Installing now and see how it goes. The only thing I pray for is the basterds fixed the battery drain bug. I doubt it, but we will see...
Someone mentioned no rooting possible from this version on? Should there be a workaround this, because I am pessimistic they fixed the issue?
For now, everything is in place and the update was non-problematic. We will see how the battery usage goes...
where are you based cos I just can't get this update, my software version is BTU which I thought was uk un brand

Bulgaria, but my phone is from France. I updated it via Kies.
Hey Guys, Any idea where can I download the official Samsung ROMs from? I am not looking at the leaked Kitkat version of the S4; but a standard one which comes on built with the phone in the US. The deal is that, I am kinda bored with my Google Play clean software on the S4; I want to try to install the original software on the S4 (i9505G) and kinda try the gesture recognition apps etc. Any inputs?
Yeah Sammobile.com has all stock roms to be flashed with Odin.

OTA is available in India indeed. Just wait a couple of hours. I'm sure you'll be able to get your update UNLESS your device is not from India.

Friends,
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S4 i9500 and there is new update but I can not install because the device is rooted and it says updates can not be installed because your device has been modified, any solution please?
It is good is not working otherwise you would brick your phone. Wait for developers until they release a room with that update. Never try to install updates on a samsung rooted room. Cheers

You can update the phone downloading a firm from samy page, then flash it with odin.
