Hi, I have a Samsung Note 3 (SM-N9005) and when I bought it has Jelly Bean 4.3, now I want to update it to Kit Kat 4.4 but when a I search updates says already have the newest version, I think is because I bought it in a phone company of my country (Costa Rica) because others phones that have the same model of mine already receive Kit Kat but that are from the factory. That could be a reason why I didn't receive 4.4? If I unlock my phone I'll receive the update? Please help me. :crying:
Sorry for the bad english, I don't speak english good, like you can see xD
pleeeaseeee
PLEASEEEEEEE CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!!!!

First Don't Unlock bootloader if like official updates.
then what u mean by buying it from company !!!
It s Galaxy Note 3 N9005 normal version
i mean it s not something like dev edition or commercial
SO it will get update
u should check sammobile.com/firmware & live.samsung-updates.com
then see build number on about phone option and searc for ur model if update is available or not...
after All
u can simply download Stock Firmware of N9005 and flash it using Odin.
that u should search for its tutorial
:good:

What is your phone's CSC? I think there should be KitKat update for all CSC now.
Anyway you can check for the latest firmware for your device by installing Phone INFO ★Samsung★ --> open Menu --> Firmware Browser...
You can download the latest firmware and flash it via Odin.

Unless you're located in Mexico and have the N900W8, or you're located in Poland, you won't get the update yet. Please be patient.
Hello,
I have a Galaxy S4 unlocked Argentina, model GT-9500 Android 4.3 baseband version I9500UBUEMK1
Two days ago, checking for OTA upgrades, I was surprised that a new upgrade was available (I think it was about 390 Mb), so I suppose it is 4.4.2 kitkat (great!).
However, I was not ready to accept the download at that time because my battery charge was not at full, then I canceled after a partial download.
Today, I´m ready to apply the upgrade, but ... it is not available anymore: I receive a message "The latest upgrades have been applied".
Is it that Samsung retired the upgrade, or that my phone "thinks" that it was upgraded because of that partial download ?? In such a case, how can I go back with my phone to the point before the partial upgrade download ?
Thank you very much.
Pablo.
Samsung haven't android 4.4.2 for ur device with CSC: Argentina. This update was a minor one that was installed for sure unknowingly. OTA or Kies 3 doesn't lie. Enjoy ur latest version till KitKat arrives :highfive:

Thank you for your feedback, but ... no, this upgrade was not applied since I have aborted its download. Also, I keep a screenshot of my "About device" to follow upgrades, and nothing have changed.
My oppinion is that there WAS an upgrade there, but it was removed.
I have checked SAMMOBILE for the kitkat upgrade for my country, and it is not available. However, in the past, the 4.3 upgrade was published OTA, and SAMMOBILE reported it a week later...
Anyone had the same symptom as me ??
I'm using a Czech T-mobile S4 GT-I9505 which is currently running firmware 4.3 (baseband I9505XXUEMKF) and am unclear about whether I'll be able to get an official update to 4.4.2 via my Singapore carrier (Starhub) at any point. I can't go via Kies, it says the device doesn't support firmware initialization.
Any advice would be welcome, thanks very much in advance.

1. Android 4.3 and android 4.4.2 use KIES 3.
2. When u conect ur phone to Kies 3, you dont need press Tools -> Firmware Upgrade and Initialization. The update, if u have any, will pop up automatically (example in pic 1 attached).
3. If Kies 3 tell u that can't update is coz the old owner installed one firmware with wrong CSC.
- Go to Kies 3 and you will see ur CSC (its your zone code) like the pic 2 attached.
- Knowing ur CSC, take a look for this firmware in Sammobile.com
- Download and flash it with ODIN (Dont flash a "Black EDITION" if ur phone isnt it)
- Enjoy
Thanks for the reply.
Actually, this was a new phone, but it was purchased as a grey market import. I should have said that I have tried to go via Kies but it tells me I have the latest firmware. So does the phone OTA update.
Could it be that the OTA update is still connecting to the update server for Czech S4 phones and there hasn't been a 4.4.2 rollout there yet? If so, it looks like I have to root it if I want to go to 4.4.2.

Hello, Im new to this forum and hope not violating any rules..
I just bought Galaxy S4 i9500 and has stock 4.2.2 installed. Cant update to kitkat neither with settings, nor with KIES 2.6/3.
Kies 2.6 says " Your Device's Current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies. " (see attch)
I'm total newbie with these CSC codes and nor googling helped me out with all my questions:
How to make CSC and phone sales codes match safely without flashing official rom?
I bought AFR version S4 designed for Kenya in republic of Georgia (Asia/Europe). There is no firmware designed for Georgia. So does this mean I will never be able to obtain updates OTA or via Kies?
Phone INFO and such apps didnt work coz it couldnt find "preconfig" file.. Does this mean flashing is the only way? Which websites are good for official stock firmwares?

Hello, Im new to this forum and hope not violating any rules..
I just bought Galaxy S4 i9500 and has stock 4.2.2 installed. Cant update to kitkat neither with settings, nor with KIES 2.6/3.
My BB number is : I9500XXUBMG9
Here is my question..
1) Will this baseband region phone ever receive OTA update?
2) if NOT, then should i use services that samfirmware.com offers?
if YES, then can i install official firmware originally created for another baseband? For example can i use Russian I9500XXUGNG3 kitkat on my I9500XXUBMG9 ?
Doesnt it void waranty?
What are the risks of bricking? i mean basebands differ from each other, isnt that problem?
Also Im dissapointed with 2G call voice, sometimes i barely hear caller.. Can this be Baseband problem? I think this bmg9 baseband was originally for IRAQ carriers and im here in Georgia, which doesnt have specific baseband i guess...
I would be extremely grateful to those who answer me in this hard time ^^

Hi mate ,
First thing if you are in 4.2.2 is a shame to upgrade the bootloader..is Knox free
Your official updates most like it are blocked because you do not have the right CSC , download a nice little app from the market call PHONE INFO there it will tell you what your CSC is , this app can also change your CSC as long as it is available in the rom ( if you do backup first changing the CSC will do a factory reset)
Regarding your questions
1 OTA are CSC dependent
2 Samfirmware is good , and reliable you can go that way also
Second part of your questions
1 you can flash firmware for other countries , that is not a problem , BUT you may have problem with what languages are available , specific country services may not be available , no OTA
2 As long as you only flash stock rom (odin) you will not void the warranty
3 Briking is always a risk but when flashing not for different basebands
4 Maybe , for sure the right baseband would help

Alrighty. I dw-ed two apps, both named Phone Info. I just have a questions:
If I change CSC code to USA will I get OTA updates as soon as USA citizens get it? Doesnt it depend that im outside of USA?
Is there any cons for changing CSC?
My country, is not listed in CSC codes.. Is there a way i can always get OTA updates?

Hi,
A knox free bootloader is important if warranty some how is important for you , other wise there are the same
Regarding your first set of questions
1 Not an expert on kies but as long as all the csc inpho match it should , unless there is an issue with kies registration or IP
2 CSC give you country specifics network set ups , differnt countries have different set ups , fastdormancy , special services.......
3 you need to flash a stock rom from your country or region
Yes flashing firmware may change the csc code.
I have a question after I read around on the topics but it still unclear for me. Can I update to lollipop with the model. I saw the post on Note 4 general site (Lollipop Update Thread By Variants) which give user to update but as far as I try to update it via OTA it has no new version at all. So should I update through the site's link or wait for the update (I know the waiting cannot be told for how long it take for each country but just little doubt if I can update via the link or should I wait for the OTA update?)
Thanks for advance suggestion guys.
Where did you buy your SM-N910G ?

Can you change to english please I am not good in tagalog but it is currently possible via odin right? thanks
Thank you guys I already found the solution for this matter. It seems like lollipop update will not go on your device via OTA but you need to use Kies for the update. Once you plug in your device to computer while kies is running then the update will pop up for Lollipop update. For someone who gets the same problem please do the following then you will be able to update to lollipop even though you are not in India.
Thread closed thanks.
