[Q] i9506 4.3 Official Firmware Link? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Can someone put up the i9506 4.3 official samsung firmware for me please?
VAU if possible.
VAU-I9506XXUBNB2-20140404135239.zip
I'v tried download from .samsung-updates.com
but download is 1.6GB and fails all the time while downloading at less than 100kb.
Google drive, dropbox or one of them would be ideal...
Cheers :good:

But you need to signup first so you can download

here try this link out :highfive:
http://live.samsung-updates.com/?device=GT-I9506

the Vodafone aus support says that its still awaiting the 4.4.2 software for testing...........quite a long wait

Cheers guys.
Got 4.3 vau down and flashed.
Then flashed CyanogenMod 11... Living this custom ROM on my i9506. Performance is class. Looks amazing. Only issue I have had is minimum CPU performance being reset to 1300 on reboot. But easily changed back to 300mhz in settings/performance/CPU
Looking good so far and 4.4
2 is so much better.

lf2 firmware on kies and oot

Just recieved an update OTA (sim free, uk sgs3) which failed to install when it rebooted in cwm (im using cf root).
Just ran update over kies instead.
As usual Kies doesn't tell you anything about updates, but the OOT that failed said it had 'stability improvements'
Maybe a screen redraw fix? who knows ill give it a play this morning
I can confirm the same. UK unbranded firmware.
PDA: I9300XXALF2

Noiced Brightness fix so far. Maybe little zippier, too early too tell.
Mine failed over the air

it's already available on sammobile.com
here is the direct link:

I think they have fixed the screen redraw or is it just me? Mines back to 256m for dalvik and seems to be running like it was when set to 192m
Also mc3 loads way quicker now.
Edit: redraw fixed? Nope not completely

Can the OTA be installed on a rooted phone with perseus kernel? What happens if you do that?

Same here - OTA failed but Kies is updating
Anybody tried Mobile Odin?
mediafire mirror for this hotfile link would be nice
Just updated via KIES was not available OTA (SGSIII unbranded UK) maybe its just me but i would say its using a little less RAM.but like i said thats just me...
Can we now root it with cfroot or other tools?
Did not noticed any visible changes yet...hopefully high Cell standby usage improved.will see.
Will I get an update with a rooted Three Model?

You sure its stuck? Its seems to take forever, and does halt for a considerable period halfway, but I should complete
Forget about KIES.
Go to http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9300 (link is for the International version), choose ANY ROM you want, or the ROM for your country/operator, and flash it using Odin3.
KIES is evil and I don't know why people insist on using that P.O.S.
But will i have any problems in future if i want to upgrade if i flash it using odin?

I updated yesterday using Kies. Make sure your battery is well charged (70% or more) and let it run. It looked like mine had stopped after downloading the components. After 20 minutes of looking like nothing was happening, the firmware proper started to download.
With all the downloads then flash, it probably took just under 2 hours (not the 5-30 minutes that Kies claims).
Most likely the download servers are just busy.
previously was root with stock rom...(unroot usin those root keeper) and proceed to update JB.
Looks good but root is lost.

Official 4.1.2 Build

Hi
I have been using Nightly 4.2.2 for a while now but seeing as 4.3 official is on its way I would like to flash back to 4.1.2 so I can OTA it.
This is going to work right?
Anyway I have been trying to find a GBR in this link, although when I bought TAB it would factory reset to Germany and I would simply change the language on setup....
Is there a GBR or do I need to go with a GER one, cant see either in this link
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N8000&details=Galaxy_Note_10_1__3G_plus_WiFi
Appreciate your help
Thanks

You can flash a stock firmware and receive OTA updates normally.
To download the corrent firmware check this out - http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/

Make sure the model is the same.
No matter the firmware, if the model is the same the firmware should work.
Try to reflash again.

Thanks! Really good gallery! Just like stock gallery.
Today I flashed this firmware. The first thing I noticed is the SELinux Status that use to be there in my previous ML4 firmware is missing. Gallery is less laggy than ML4. I did a clean install. I rooted it and flash Philz Recovery and Boeffla kernel but even after that my phone status is always official. Not only this, everything in download mode is shown as official. I am still confused.

Seems like you don't know. After rooting and using custom kernel and recovery, the status of your phone will be shown as 'Custom' and you won't be able to receive OTA updates anymore. But in my case even after all the modifications, my phone status is still 'Official' and this is what surprise me.

Where to get hold of the change log for this or for that matter any update?
Only visible changes I can see is the design on bottom notifications.. which comes like highlight and disappears...
Nothing else till now...
Anyone found any other changes?
There is wonderful rom [emoji2]

Am sorry but I didn't understand.

Custom ROM made out of NI1 is supposed to be really good ( dr.ketan's ) plus it has a bigger change log over NG3 which was a big improvement over ND3 and NE1 so I am sure this one is worth upgrading.
There is really a noticeable performance and scrolling improvement?, also one application is removed(not sure), ...also freed up some space,also noticed a homepage button in chrome that takes to Samsung .com, the music widget on lock screen has seek bar(maybe not new)
Which application is removed?

I would suggest NOT upgrading to this rom if you are using any bluetooth equipment like a headset or galaxy gear. I had an harrowing experience since two days, where both my devices kept disconnecting.. even the range dropped to less than 7 feet.
Had to spend a whole day, downloading and re-flashing FNE1 ROM and now everything is back to normal.
Yup ,flashed today via MobileOdin & this built is quite smooth & snappy for note 2.
Battery is okay,no improvement over last built.

MobileOdin works same as PC Odin but doesn't flash bootloader & PIT file.
✏MobileOdin for those who have rooted their phone & installed Recovery.
✏They want to upgrade firmware but don't want to change their bootloader. Coz,MobileOdin doesn't flash bootloader.
✏IMO If you're flashing through MobileOdin then you have very low chances of corrupting IMEI/efs.
✏Flashing through MobileOdin shouldn't wipe your data. Again your previously installed apps/settings remains as it is.
✏if you're upgrading firmware from 4.3 to 4.4.2 then you should note that your device shouldn't charge in offline mode(power off state). Coz it's using previous 4.3 bootloader and 4.4.2 stock rom aren't support older bootloader for offline charging.
Last time i used MobileOdin when i was on JB4.3.
?If you really want to flash Stock Rom through MobileOdin then,do a backup of current Rom,Modem,efs,etc.in recovery,in case you're needed to go back to previous rom.
Then ,download latest Kitkat 4.4.2 rom from sammobile for your region.
Just open MobileOdin,it will ask you to download some required files,do it.
Don't touch any options there..
Just select "Open file" & then select your previously downloaded stock firmware "tar.md5" file.
After that move to EverRoot section(requires Pro Version) & optional.
Now then Select "flash firmware" ... after that MobileOdin boots in special recovery to flash your file. Relax & sit back,after few moments your device boots into New Rom.?
ℹNote : Some times superuser not works / your device unroots itself after flash. It's due to knox security blocks SU binary to do his work.
In that case don't worry,you can again able to root your device easily.
For Root ,Head to this link....

Hi,
Which bluetooth headset do you use? I use Samsung HS3000 and my rom is FND3. If i listen to music with Bluetooth headset, music stuttering 15 minutes later. This problem happens only while listening to music. I haven't got a problem during a call. This problem happens most 4.4.2 rom. Do you have a problem like this on FNE1 ?
