hey guys, yesterday i updated my i9500 via ODIN with the official 4.3 firmware, but afterwards when i tried connecting via Kies, it throws up the error firmware not supported on Kies.
Kindly help me.
I would like to know if my phone has been rooted?? As i do not want to root my cell and just want to install the official 4.3 firmware
I downloaded the official firmware for India 4.3 from Sammbile.com, also would like to know whether i need to install the INU or INS firmware.
My Model No. is GT-I9500ZKAINU. Please help me!!
Thanks in advance...

Have you not seen on this forums how 4.3 is such a baddie? But yeah as they guy/girl said above reinstall kies and if that doesnt work clear the cache or whatever on your S4?
hey guyz my gf is using s4 from past year now, and it is still on android 4.2.2 (screen shot attached for details)
:crying:
shes having problem of updating it to next versions of androids 4.3.x, 4.4.x
when we try to update from samsung update (setting-->about-->software updates) it shows up to date
when we try to install via kies it shows latest firmware installed.
what should we do now ,thanks in advance.

You have some options:
1. Flash a custom firmware through custom recovery.
2. Download the latest firmware and flash it through ODIN. For know what firmware is the best for you, conect it to Kies and tell me the 3 letters close to ur CSC

Thanks for quick reply.
I already attached image showing csc characters.( MJ5(INU))
Does flashing firmware through odin void warrenty?
there is no way to get official update via software update or kies?
its just the update didt arrived for your country and there is 2 solutions :
1- wait till the update arrive
2- download & falsh the Update VIA Odin
if you flash it with odin nothing wrong will happen i just recommend you to backup everything :good:

you need to flash 4.3 then 4.4.2 Because of the bootloader

ok,so do i need to flash all updates that are passed over 4.2.2 up untill now to get the latest 4.4.2 or any one 4.3 firmware will work, and then 4.4.2 firmware ?
Where can i download all these firmwares?
Download 4.3 Here
You Want to download 4.4.2 you will need to signup to www.sammobile.com
then enter firmware section then search for your device in search bar "GT-I9500" then choose country and download
PS: if you dont know how to flash VIA Odin Search XDA or Google it

Yah.. were the same.. there are two new update on grand prime XTC Philippines (open line) but cant flash in odin. And also can not update the device in OTA. Please help.
This device have secure bootloader, so might be the reason u cant flash updated firmware, only OTA update. IMO need to unlock bootloader first if wanna success flash through odin.
Until now, the way to unlock this device bootloader is unavailable.

To upgrade the device is not necesarry to download the firmware of the respective region, u can flash any version of firmware for another regions, the only need to know is the respective version of firmware is for your device only that, i have flashed many firmware in my prime without issues ever from other regions ( most actual than my original region ) and y device is working ike a charm
Have you rooted the phone?
Can u elaborate what means.of.respective version please? u said that u flash many firmware for ur prime, which.one firmware have u been flashed successfully @tutibreaker
Hello guys I have solve this issue by flashing different firmware I used Nepal firmware. XTC firmware is corrupted.
You can use different region firmware if your phone is openline.

no i dont flash many versions in my device, just flash the latest update from other region and works fine, the region is not important
Hey, same problem here. I can't flash any firmware. Odin just errors: Failed [Auth].
And since I've rooted my Grand Prime, I'm not able to update it via OTA
What am I supposed to do?!
Recently I've faced some lags on my phone that I don't know why, but I think I need to update my firmware.

What firmware did you flash? If its XTC then you should try other region firmware like Malaysia or Indonesia. XTC firmware is corrupted.

You have to flash exact soft for your region and phone. Grand Prime have many versions so you must select right one. In East Europe there is no secure bootloader or maybe I haven't encountered it yet. If you have secured bootloader so probably it's gonna be same like Sony or HTC. You'll have to unlock it. I can't say where

Just open your odin then firstly do not connect your device before . Add the files to AP first and then you can connect your device into odin or that firmware you've download did not match .
And did you solve that problem guys?

The order did not do any difference. Why should it do?!
Before a chance the rom, I rooted my cellphone by this way
[ androidxda. com/root-samsung-galaxy-grand-prime-sm-g530h ]
It worked!
As someone said here, I should need to unlock the bootloader, I looked for I solution and I find this one
[ techtudo. com.br/dicas-e-tutoriais/noticia/2014/07/como-destravar-o-bootloader-de-um-dispositivo-android.html ]
this site is in portuguese-Br
it did not work
so, I installed samsung kies, and odin 3.04. And also didn't worked.
Now, I installed CMW recovery
[ mediafire .com/download/w0gzfrq7xtvztdr/Galaxy+Grand+Prime+CWM+Recovery.zip ]
still the same
finally, I downloaded odin 3.10.6, and instal a rom from india. As I find here [ droidviews .com/install-android-5-0-2-lollipop-firmware-on-galaxy-grand-prime-sm-g530h/ ]
Before I was trying Russia's rom.
After all, I noticed, and I read here, that depends on firmware which I was intalling
Hi, everytime I try to update I get this message.
your device as been modified. Software updates are not available.
I had a wile back rooted this Samsung S4, so im guessing is the knox sotware that is doing this.
I heard that we can force the update using Odin, Just dont know how.
Can it be done?
If any one can please help would be appreciated.
Samsung S4
Model SGH-M919V
Ansroid version 4.4.2

If any other info need please let me know.
Thanking all in advance.

This is the international S4 forum. Everything you need to know can be found at the link above. But to answer your question, yes, the update can be applied using Odin.

This title appeared coz you rooted your device. You will have to download, unzip and flash the same firmware that you are using (HERE) via ODIN for receive future updates via OTA.
Hello guys,
I have a samsung galaxy grand prime, and I want to update it to Lollipop. Unfortunately, there's no firmware update to lollipop in my country/region. I noticed that there's an update for this device in Russia or India region. I wanna install one of those firmware in my device. Is it okay, although I'm not from India or Russia?
(Pardon my english)

It's G350H. And the baseband is XXU. I know about that, but I'm still not sure that's safe. Is there any risks if I flash it to any region firmware though my region firmware isn't available yet?

Hi argounaut! There's nothing really risky about updating from another region as long as it's the right firmware for your phone. I usually update just like this 'cause my region doesn't give anything at all. My first was from Russia and then I updated my firmware from Uzbekistan and then flashed the latest build from Panama. All of it are 5.0.2 (Lollipop) and I haven't had any problems at all upgarding from other regions :good:
(EDIT: And I have the same SM-G530H as you, so no need to worry about risks)

Not really, but you have to root it again after every update beacuase you will lose root access. And for the best firmware so far, I think you should always go with the newest build every time you update:good:

Hi man! I don't know if it's going to void your warranty but, I do know that flashing firmware from official updates from other regions are totally ok. If it's a custom rom or your phone is rooted, well I can't really assure you with your question
