I have no idea why you can update over OTA... and, why are you complaining about it?
Furthermore, the OTA is unlimited... I would highly recommend you to read the communicates more carefully.

Now read the message with understanding... (a hint: software update service is not available and following sentence).
as you may have (visible) problems with it, let me to translate it to your language:
OTA server is too busy, because ppl checking the software update twice per second. therefore you shall use normal server via KIES.
Is it easier now?

Help needed regarding Update Error

Hi there. First of all I am sorry to create a new topic because I have already spent 2 days of searching the forum about my problem but couldn't quite figured it out rightly.
I have Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505. Its operating system is 4.3. When I try to update it via OTA, it says "Your software has been modified. Software updates are not available. "
But I don't know if I have done any modifications in my software.
Kindly help me in this regard.

What update? Can you be a bit more specific? Nothing showing for the UK for some time on sammobile.

The easiest thing to do would be to list your current firmware. Then we can tell you if its the latest or if you are a behind. I think NB8 is the latest stock BTU UK firmware.

Yeah. Lots of people reporting the same thing unfortunately.
I already have the latest version just that when you click on device and update it tells you maximum number of updates rolled out but like other people say there must be a problem with Samsung server.

Can you now pull the update from sammobile and install with odin yourself?
Got it now, only 16mb was wanting to know what it does? Never mind installing now.
Still 4.4.2 and is now I9505XXUFNB9
Yeah I just got it as well nothing major just a stability software update.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
I just seen NB9 released too, what a load of rubbish. Other countries are rolling out much newer firmware and we get a minor patch made back in February,,,
The latest German firmware NF1 had a June date.
Good old uk always second to last.

If it makes you feel any better I've tried loads of stock and custom firmware on my UK btu handset and have always come back to fnb8 UK stock as it's the most stable to date. So the fact that other counties have "more up to date" firmware versions is really not important because they bring no extra features and just add problems. E.g. nge5 and ngf1 (the latest firmwares) have random reboots meaning that I can't even walk down the street listening to music because halfway through a song it will cut out and reboot.
If it ain't broke don't fix it. I'd say stick with fnb8 until they release a firmware with new features (maybe when Android L is released).
Hi guy's, does the 16mbt patch fix anything??? Otherwise I agree that fnb8 is pretty good for me, any feedback? Thanks

[ HELP] S4 I9505 OTA Update Problem

Hi! So I'm rooted and I want to update my phone but when I try to do it, it says "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available." So I reset my flash counter using Triangle Away and now it says 'official' and 'O' but still that modified blah blah is still appearing. How do you solve this?

You will have to flash the firmware manually thorugh ODIN and root it again :highfive:.

AFAIK Manually flashing the ROM is the only way. If you want OTA updates, do not root your phone.

Use wanam xposed to make the status to official in the phone.
See if that works. IMHO it wont still..
"If someone helps, never forget to hit thanks ? "
I kind of tried that already with Triangle Away but it didn't work. It said that phone runs with official firmware but the warning still appears.

Onlt flashing stock will work.

OTA's on ROM's typically don't work unless the ROM maker implements their own OTA system like Cyanogenmod. So no. Wait for the official thread to update with it.

Cool thanks will do. Any way to get rid of the notification, it keeps popping up.

Can't send sms after lollipop update

Hello guys!
Just updated my Note 3 OTA last night, to Android Lollipop.
Ever since, I am able to recieve SMS but not to send. All of my messages remain in a pending state. I had to restart my phone so i can send sms. ??
All stock apps, all stock firmware. Phone was working fine with Kit Kat. The SMS Service Center number is correct.
Any ideas?

Anyone? ?????

Shouldn't be anything to do with Lollipop upgrade, but still as you done the update OTA I will suggest you to wipe everything and do the update manually, via Odin I mean. I never did trust OTA method of upgrades.
Thank you for your reply. Pls kindly give me the link on how to do that.

Have you tried clearing the cache and data of the Messages app?
(backup old text first, they'll be wiped. You can use 'sms backup & restore' (app, check google play) for that.)
