[Help] Galaxy S4 KitKat update - Australia Firmware question - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
I would like to first root my phone and upgrade to KitKat 4.4 firmware and remove the Optus bloat ware. I have stumbled across this firmware and wanted to know if it would be safe to upgrade?
Firmware: I9505XXUFNA1_I9505OXAFNA1_I9505XXUFNA1_OXA - from sammobile
Currently with Optus and my settings are:
Model: GT-I9505
Product Code: GT-I9505ZKAOPS
PDA: I9505XXUEMK9
CSC: I9505OPSEMJ5
Modem: I9505XXUEMK9
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I dont recommend that process coz:
1. The Australian (OPTUS) firmware still without receive the correct android 4.4.2 update.
2. i9505XXUFNA1_I9505OXAFNA1_I9505XXUFNA1_OXA is only a LEAK KitKat firmware (with bugs).
3. You own a branded phone. Better only disable the bloatware at this moment or root it without void ur warranty if you can

Branded THREE UK - unbrand

Hello,
I need to ask if There is any possibility to remove branded applications, and general system
three.uk operator, so that seemed normal as the normal S4.
I bought a phone with root, so this is not necessary, but I'm not sure if it's somehow going to make
and do not know how. TouchWiz does not bother me so or if there is a original samsung rom.
Thank you very much for your answers and advice

You can Flash with the BTU version of XXUBMGA and keep a pre Knox version of 4.2.2 If you want 4.3 you can Flash with a Knox version of the BTU Rom on XXUEMJ7. If you want 4.3 pre Knox you will have to read the forums to find the best option for you. Both of these options definitely work on a 3UK i9505 Galaxy S4

[Q] From HK FW to Ita no brand

Hello,
I bought a GN3 in Hong Kong. I've tried many times to upgrade to the newest fw via OTA or Kies unsuccesfully.
Here is the details of my phone:
AP: N9005ZHUBMI7
CP: N9005XXUBMI5
CSC: N9005ZZHBMI7
As soon as the phone tries to install the new firmware, the phone gives an error and stops the upgrade. I don't understand why.
I would like to upgrade to an european FW like ITA nobrand. And I have some questions:
1) Will the CSC change as I flash the new FW, I mean will be installed the new CSC ?
2) I heard about the knox trigger. Will it be triggered or not ?
3) The status of the phone will remain "Official" ?
4) The upgrade to the new firmware MK2 will not allow to get the root anymore ?
5) Can I upgrade to new released FW in the future via OTA or Kies ?
Thank you in advance.

[Q] Upgrade from 4.2.2 to 4.4

I have Android 4.2.2 bootloader MH8 with root and knox 0x0.
I want to upgrade to Android 4.4 beacause now it is possible to root. In sammobile I checked that the most recent android version for my region is this:
PDA: I9505XXUGNG8
CSC: I9505BTUGNG2
MODEM: I9505XXUGNG8
I saw many people having problems with battery drain and random reboot with GNG8 version.
Which is the best version for Android 4.4?

Evvery 4.4 is the same. Some are tweaked and some are not.
If you want to root and test roms and mods, check the firmware relating to 4.4.2 that has been used widely for making Custom roms.
I select my firmwares that way, because devs here are pretty cool.
Press Thanks if I helped

Should be fine as neither are network locked.
To downgrade your phone its not that easy, you can lose your IMEI.
