Hi All,
I bought a new S4 i9500 in Chennai today from a retailer.
I saw that it had android 4.2.2 installed.
I connected via wifi and got a 343mb update and i updated it.
after that i received few more updates for 43 mb 26 mb and 12mb and updated them all
Finally it showed "all latest updated have already been installed"
Now i again checked the about phone but kernel information has changed but phone still shows android 4.2.2
I read online that for India the 4.4.2 Kitkat is already out
Why is that my phone is showing "all latest updated have already been installed" and remaining on 4.2.2 wherein it must actually show 4.4.2 kitkat update?
Kindly advise

I don't know the reason,but comparing ur stats with mine,the only difference is SE thing,which is enforcing in my case and permissive in urs...
No idea if that makes any difference..
edit:flash 4.4.2 via Odin,from sammobile.. But do remember that u will get Knox bootloader in ur phone.
Similarly,u can go to Samsung care and get it updated..

Hi,I personally feel there is no difference in the heat from the phone.whenever i run a benchmark like quadrant or antutu the phone heats up quickly. even in 4.4.2 too.one more thing i found out is the battery drain.the phone is just one week old and battery drains like hell.within 2 hrs of chaton and msging friends the battery falls from 100 to 63% which is way too bad.i dont understand why this crazy battery drain.

Hi
If you are unable to get OTA update then there is something seriously wrong with your phone. First make sure it is 9500 as the update is aimed at 9500 only. If you still cant update it I would strongly suggest you go to a samsung service center. There is no reason why you can not receive the update over the air. One of my friend had purchased a phone from black market. When he did not receive 4.2.2 update he goes to the service center and it turns out that his was a imitation.

If you like to use Kies instead of Odin then you can disconnect your USB cable (phone) and go to Tools>Firmware Upgrade and Initialization and follow the instructions. You'll need to enter model number (case sensitive) like GT-I9500 and your mobile's serial number (from Settings>About Device).

Just let it be. When you open ODIN then it will have only 2 ticks. Dont tick more then that. Then select PDA (i.e. .tar) file & Press Start. Don't unplug the device until you get clear Ext button.
Note: Do check whether your Mobile has been detected by ODIN (A Green column will be highlighted in left upper corner).

No, this is actually a fail-safe way to upgrade your firmware in case the automatic Kies updater fails. You'll get to a step where you'll choose to factory reset or not, and you can always back up and restore data from Kies (you can back up before the whole upgrade process).
Odin is good, though. Basically the same thing. If you flash official ROM then your phone status will stay "Official" but the flash counter may increase. Kies method is official and will not threaten your warranty.

Thanks very much mate! For your valuable information the kies is very bad... it tooks me 1.5 hour per season. .. I tried 2 times to upgrade my s4 but still not successful. Hmmm
I will definitely try download and flash it using ODIN. Sorry if I'm writing too much because I am absolutely noob to Samsung device.
One more thing? Its that the phone recovery in the kies are reliable? In case of brick or something how can I revive it.

1. my home button stop working ...i said i can leave with that i tap more often back back button !
2. my lock screen disappear .... when i press power button my last page comes up ....i restart 2-3 times nothing ....i check if lock-screen it's enable and the slide option it's on.
i have the stock ICS 4.0.4 i didn't do any upgrade or something similar.
i see a loot of peoples talk about JB 4.2.2 why my tablet don't find any updates ?
i read about update to some rom....but there so many things to do : new soft like odin, superuser, su, clock ...etc i'am afraid not to damage the device..but most off all my wife will kill me !
and the big question it's can i do something to fix it?

It seems that your device's firmware has bugs so try to update it to official 4.1.2 , it will solve your problem and also note that there is no official 4.2.2 fw released or leaked for 51xx

Surely(if your device has an update in your region or country),update through OTA in update options found in settings--->about device---->software update or otherwise download a rom from sammobile and flash through Odin

The first line is saying your device is tab 2 10.1
second is explaining which variant your device is
Third is saying the android version which your device is running(it's ICS)
Amd the last line is saying about the kernal version,kernal build date , kernal build time etc...
which one?
so ...i go to sammobile and look for new firmware for my gt-p5110...the problem is there are like 7 country which one to use?
i will try to use kies after i solve my MTP driver problem !

Just do a hard reset in settings. Backup and and recovery or something like tjat.
My tab was ok with ICS. But as told before have you tried to update via settings over the air?

Hello, I'm from India and today I received my brand new Samsung Galaxy S4 which I had ordered online earlier. Currently it's running on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean but when I'm checking for Software Updates, it says "The latest updates have already been installed". But I know that Android 4.4.2 KitKat is already available in my country and also my device's product code is INS. Being pretty confused I installed the "Genuine Galaxy - Phone info" app from Google Play Store to check whether I received a fake S4 but it says that it's a genuine S4. Then what makes it unable to receive any update?
Please help me.
Thanks.
You'll get it. Give it some time. Otherwise you can install kies and try it out from there.
Can anyone suggest me that how much time it may take?

Is it Safe bro? Does the FOTA work after installing the update in that manner? And does the Air Gesture, Air View etc. work properly after updating in this manner? Please guide me step by step.
Thanks.
Download the firmware package and extract the
zip file. You will get a .tar.md5 file and some other files.
[Download link 1 , 2 ]
Step 2: Download Odin v3.09 , and extract the zip file.
You will get Odin3 v3.07.exe along with few other files.
Step 3: Run Odin3 v3.09 as an Administrator.
Step 4: Switch off the Galaxy S4 and boot it into
Download Mode by pressing and holding Volume Down,
Home and Power buttons.
Step 5: Connect the Galaxy S4 to the computer via the
USB cable and wait until a blue sign appears in Odin.
Step 6: Click on the AP button in Odin and select
the .tar.md5 file that was extracted in Step 1.
Step 7: In Odin, ensure that the Auto Reboot and F.
Reset Time options are checked
Step 8: Now, click on the Start button in Odin to begin
the installation process.
Step 9: After the installation is complete u will see PASS in odin, the device
will restart automatically.
Step 10: Once you get pass on odin you can unplug the device from the computer
and close Odin

Oh! Thanks a lot.
Last day, I sent a mail to Samsung too. But they say that the update is currently available to particular S4 devices with particular baseband versions which are: XXUFNB3, DDUFNA4, ODDFNB3, I9500XXUFNC1, I9500YDDFNC2, I9500DDUFNA4 & I9500XXUFNC1.
But my Baseband version is: I9500DDUBMF8
Eh! What kind of a dumb thing is Samsung doing here?
Does anyone have any idea regarding this?
Please respond.

Hello guys,
After changing my phone's mainboard (gt-i9505) because of the signal issues, I cannot flash any roms on the 2nd mainboard. Well, the only one that worked,was a 4.3 google edition version, but because of the battery drain, I tried to flash a differnt rom. I tried sever official versions 4.3, 4.4.2. 5.0.1, but stucks at "installing applications" screen. Tried to flash Albe95 S6 FULL PORT 4.7, installation completes, but when I try to set the phone for the first time, the touch does not work. Tried also to flash pit file along with a stock firmaware, no success.
Could you please advise how to solve this?
Devices is rooted and I flashed Philz recovery 5.
Thanks!
Deleted. Sorry.
Are you sure the new board is from a GT-I9505?

Odin stops after trying to flash aboot.mbn because you are trying to flash a ROM that contains a bootloader that is older than the bootloader on the phone or the bootloader in the ROM is not compatible with the phone.

phone rom is 4.4.2 but rom file is 5.0.1 so bootloader not only older than phone but also newer
It looks like Odin is stopping the installation due to a bootloader conflict.
i dont known what do i do
None of those doesn't worked
