[Q] Need help with updating samsung galaxy s4 i9500 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9500. I would like to update it from jellybeans to kitkat.
OTA says it couldn't update so i should use kies.
I downloaded kies, but it doesn't work. It kept saying connecting.
Thats when i got kies 3. I attached images of the problem i'm getting.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After this image, i reconnect the phone, and it keeps going through the process from the first picture.
So I uninstalled kies 3, and uninstalled the device under device manager.
Re-installed kies 3, and went through the process in the images above.
I still haven't found a solution.
I hope someone can help me out.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
I installed kies 3 on a windows 7 emulator. I was previously using Windows 8.1.
The update started, it downloaded 100%, then it said: could not access the model information server. Try later.

Recently used the factory reset settings on my phone if that may of made the problem?
Just doesn't recognize now when i connect to Kies and comes up with this message^^^
its still doing this!!
In my quest to resolve the FsUsbService64 Service Initiali Failed errors, I found a newer version of KIES on this website.
http://dls.scione-music.de/KIES/
Downloaded and installed Kies_1.5.3.10104_66.exe 20-Nov-2010 16:14 136M
and voila, no more errors !! Problem Resolved !!
However, I am not sure where this version come from as it is newer than official Samsung version.
If you have USB driver issues, click on KIES pull down menu at top left and click on Driver Recovery. It should resolve your USB Driver issues.
Vista?? thats your problem... Hahaha
i had a connection-problem to kies on windows7 not recognizing my phone.
i disabled "usb-legacy-support" in the bios and it fixed the problem.
maybe you should try it out...

Here is a screenshot. The Tab says Downloading, do not turn off target. Am i really doing anything?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
do you have the drivers installed on your computer?
I believe so, I've used oden before to root the tablet and that went fine. My odin screen says I'm using COM15.
I just went into device manager (I'm using WinXP) and it doesn't show a COM15 as existing. I'm wondering if maybe nothing has been happening for real this half hour and maybe it's OK to reboot the tablet afterall - any thoughts?
I gave up and rebooted and the tablet came up with a message that a firmware upgrade had failed and to use Kies to recover. After fighting with Kies for a while and not getting anywhere I tried again with Oden and this time it worked, so I'm functional again. That was the closest I've come to bricking a device, glad it worked out OK.

Messed up 5.1.1 upgrade

Update !! problem solved !!
You have to use the original USB cable that solved the FAIL issue..
Thanks guys..

Cannot flash firmware.

Hello my friends, hope You can help me.
My friend recently came to me with her smartphone - SM-G531F
She said to me this story: during using tinder/snapchat (or some similar sh**) phone freezed. After put-out-in battery phone came up with this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And here is the thing. I tried to flash it with odin but no success - no pit partition(3.07 and this new one), I tried to flash it with kies but smarphone acts strange (keep connecting and disconnecting, never connected succesfully).
All tried to do on win8.1 and 10.
Am I missing something? I know the basics, but I'm more familiar with LG and Sony devices.
I'll be happy if someone can give me hand Thanks!
lock bootloader
Are you sure that your USB hubs are working fine?
Nd most probably thats issue of Locked Bootloader. What method are you using to flash it with Odin?

Stang ROM on Galaxy S7 Edge build PI3

I just purchase a Verizon Galaxy S7 Edge 32GB
this is my build # mmb29m.g935vvru4apI3
I followed the rooting instructions and got root.
Well I realized the hotspot didn't work :/ so I tried installing the Stang ROM
that didn't install, and I downloaded the PI3 stock rom image and tried to install that via oden
but it fails. I've included some screenshots below.
Will Stang work with PI3?
If not how can I restore back to stock?
Thank you for your help

I'm currently using stangs rom on pl3. When it fails that's normal it will fail the first time you just have to load the files together (don't click start yet) in Odin, restart your phone in bootloader mode until it says device added and then start.
