[Q] i9500 (region MID) still not received 4.4 kitkat update - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Galaxy S4 i9500 bought from Middle east (region/csc is MID).
I have tried Kies and OTA both multiple times to update to android 4.4 but it says no update available.
This page -> http://samsung-updates.com/region/?region=MID shows that it is still not released by samsung.
Should I wait for the update or flash some other region firmware using ODIN ?

You can download the INU version of 4.4.2 firmware from Sammobile.

Can I flash 4.4.2 INU firmware even if I'm having MID 4.3 firmware ? Wouldn't there be any issues ?

Check your baseband and look for the 4.3 firmware for your region in the sammobile.com website. Download it and flash through ODIN.

As long you keep your phone with the Official Sammy ROMs no issues with warrany or knox being fired.

but the OTA updates says: the software update service is not available. Maximum number of rool-out updates has been exceeded. try later or update your device using Samsung kies!
FFS Samsung, what about the rest of Europe, you morons?
I'm getting the same message when I try the OTA update??

However, most of them got the ND4, and if Europe (NEE) get a ND3 update I would not run this as France NE1 is a newer and better build.
So hopefully NEE will come soon with a newer build than ND3 or ND4.
I updated using kies3.

Hi,

I want to update to 4.4.2 Kitkat, but I'm not sure which firmware to download on sammobile site.
How do I check what country my firmware is from?
The firmware doesn't have any carrier branded stuff which I would like to keep.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Install 'Phone INFO ★Samsung★' app and you will get all info you need.
- To check what country your firmware is from: under the CSC INFO section.
- To get the right firmware to download on sammobile site: enter the Menu --> Firmware Browser...
Download link in my signature.

Thanks. I just realised that I'm running Australia (which is where I'm from) XSA software. latest version is 4.3.... is it worth using a different countries firmware?
Is it risky?
I have root currently and my KNOX is 0x0 and I'd like to keep it that way.. I want to have 4.4.2 unbranded with root.
Any recommendation on which version I should download? and instructions for root?
does KINGO android root trip the KNOX counter?

Downgrade to kitkat what version should I flash?

I just want to know if I should download the latest version 4.4.2 from Sammy firmware or I should look for a version that has my country (Romania)
the latest version I found is from United Arab Emirates... ANL1

For future OTA updates and matching CSC you should look for latest ROM for your country :good:
