Hi folks, I wanna update my device to I9505XXUBMEA (for App-to-SD), but don't know how to exactly. I want to do it in the most legal way, without erasing anything (Apps, Data, Settings etc.) on my S4.. So can someone tell & show me the best way how to do this please?
Btw I'm from the Netherlands and got my phone here, so I don't know if I can use or need the Stock Firmware and/or Kernel File from Germany's XXUBMEA update and if it's compatible without bricking my phone or losing data, because I havn't seen any I9505XXUBMEA update for my country yet..
Thank you in advance.

No, nothing will be deleted unless you do a factory reset.
BTW: I misread your post haha, thought you said ''will it delete my data''.

Ohh thank God.. i seriously was doubting now to continue any further, since I would've to Re-apply all setting and download all Apps and Data once again.. :good:
Now, I dont know what the Kernel is used for.. but do I need to get that also? After I have the 1.6 GB sized Stock Firmware (aka ROM right?), I can start installing?
I'm downloading I9505XXUBMF8 (first one on the list, most recent one) than from the Official Rom Collection (Thread).
I've got myself Odin also (File name: AndroidJinn.Com.Odin307, Size: 1,15 MB) like you said. (Please confirm if its the right one)
If it's not to much asked, could you write within a few sentences, the steps on how to get trough the installation and what I need to do before starting, like: do I need to backup anything or does my phone have to be USB plugged to my pc the whole time etc.?

It depends on the service center. Some dont look to csc if it is stock. And some look. Any way you can flash your original firmware back.

If it can accept another sim so it is unbranded firmware.
Any way, you can flash any stock for your I9505. Kernel is included in the firmware, no need tp flash it seperately

Can someone tell me why again XXUBMF8 is better than XXUBMEA?
I mean what are the differences compared to one another,
the only thing I know is that they both support App-2-Sd.
Which is actually ofcourse the most important thing to know,
but what other <better improved> features does the XXUBMF8 (DBT) have than XXUBMEA (DBT)?
And how are overall user experiences with both versions?
Hello.
Because I do not remember correctly, I have knox 0x1, and I read somewhere it is not possible to upgrade to official roms if knox has been triggered.
Can I update my phone to 4.4.2 with knox triggered?
Yes you can via Odin
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
Knox doesn't affect using official stock roms. It's only for warranty purposes and for the actual knox container itself.
As Dahdoul said, grab it and flash via ODIN.
Be warned. Once you upgrade there's no returning to 4.3 as the bootloader locks you into KK.

Did you notice any increase in perfomance?
Any cool features?
Do you have more RAM free?
Do apps work properly?

I know there are other questions and ive seen people mention PIT files and other bits..... I was just wondering if someone could give me a step by step Dummy's guide to flashing my phone with STOCK UK firmware - I realize this means all future updates would be manual and not OTA and that hopefuly this will not mess uk KNOX.
If anyone can assist me with this i would be very very grateful.

You gotta be really careful with HK Note's as they're set up different to the normal one.
Flashing stock 4.4.2 is a nightmare, you will get Ext4 errors. -- Then you need to root and install a custom recovery to fix your issues.
You need to get your PIT file, if you fail flashing normal stock, then you need to re-partition with your PIT file and flash a clean firmware on it. There is quite a bit around XDA about it, ad you really would need to read up on all the methods or you will find yourself in a tricky situation especially if you wish to preserve KNOX (PS if you have a HK Note then you're not under warranty anyway as it's an import so KNOX doesn't mean anything to you unless you are using it for the secure container. Plus UK law around KNOX isn't too bad if it is tripped)
Good luck, if you get super stuck come back and we'll see what we can do

The TM-320s are at the following. You need to filter by country. The standard U.S. firmware is under "Cellular South (XAR)":
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-T320/
Do note that Lollipop just started rolling out to the Tab S series. Hopefully that's a sign that the Tab Pro Lollipop isn't much farther off.
I'm not able to download any firmware from the SamMobile site. Can anyone provide me with a firmware? I don't care about the region or anything since I'll be flashing CM right after that (my device is soft-bricked, and I need to flash stock firmware with Odin). If someone can either mirror a firmware or share it with me, I'd greatly appreciate it
Would flashing this firmware remove the KNOX triggered flag.
I.e. if I flash it, can I return it to the shop and Samsung for repair?
EDIT: Yes, it removes KNOX
I have problems during the boot of the tablet
I've followed all the steps but when i've finally used odin, my tablet doesn't power on, it stays at samsung, st 320 or something like that and I can't go further. Also it only shows all that stuff when it is pluged in the pc.
I really don't know what to do, so could anybody help me please???

I don't think that's possible unless you have a pre-rooted or custom rom that you are flashing thru Odin. If you flash the newest firmware it will wipe out your root and custom recovery and you start all over.
