I recommend u wait the official update. You will have to use ODIN if u wanna have android 4.4.2

I don't think that there would be an official update to it because it doesn't even have a 4.3 update.

I can't figure out which file suits my model!
Root de la Vega = no Ota, there is a new bootloader and new bootloader = no more de la vega
Your knox flag should be = 1 now? If it is the case, flash your newest stock firmware and root it with CF-ROOT

[Q] New I9505, Should I upgrade to 4.3

Ive just got my new unlocked I9505 in UK, but I just use Stock Roms.
Does 4.3 still have the battery drain issues and problems.
Which version of the Rom did Samsung fix the I9505 camera shutter lag bug.
Thanks

1. If u just use Stock Roms, update via Kies without problem. Remember that for Android 4.2.2 u can use Kies but for Android 4.3 u will have to use Kies3
2. Im using 4.3 (latest version) and i dont have battery drain issues
3. Camera lag either

Pending updates? Disregard?

Hi, i have never done updating the phone through update center. I have d802C and i know there are more updates pending in the update center.
my question is when kitkat comes will it overwrite the latest software update or do i need to install everything up to kitkat? can't i just ignore them all and install kitkat?
Anyone who knows the answer??

flash the stockrom via odin. did you root it? check your device status, and it says "custom". so download the stock firmware and flash it via odin.

Factory reset from recovery, then go to download mode directy (don't let it boot to Android!)
flash stock rom, and you're done, It shouldn't display that message now.

If 4.4.2, you can't install older bootloader ,so you can't flash 4.3
