Frimware doubt. - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have a Galaxy S4 with adroid 4.3 and CSC from NEE (Nordic Countries) but I'm living in Spain. I'm wondering if I'm going to get updates via OTA or Kies to 4.4.2. If I try to search for updates in Kies or OTA it says that I have the lastest firmware uptade.
Thanks you!

Problem is that you have wrong baseband for that OTA/KIES tell you have the latest updates.
Steps to follow:
1. Dont use Kies.
2. Use Kies 3 for know ur CSC. In your case its NEE (if its correct).
3. Go HERE for download the latest firmware for ur phone.
4. Flash it through ODIN.
5. When u finish the process of flashing and your system start again, dial *#1234# and have to appear this:
AP: I9505XXUFNB9
CP: I9505XXUFNB9
CSC: I9505NEEFNB2
6. Reflash the firmware if you dont have what appears in the step 5.
7. You will receive the OTA updates now. Good luck :highfive:

Ok thanks you very much!

[Q] Kies and OTA

Hi everyone
I wanted to ask you a question.
In short: Are Kies and OTA are connected? I mean if Kies reports it doesn't support my firmware so I won't get OTAs too?
Detailed: I flashed two weeks ago the German stock rom DBT for I9505 (MJ5).
The reason I did that is because I couldn't get updates via Kies with the last firmware, I had:
PDA: ME2, PHONE: ME2, CSC: MDB(BTU)
I understood ME2 stands for Nordic countries and the product code (BTU) is for England so I couldn't get updates through Kies.
I flashed the German stock rom via Odin and all went OK but afterwards when I connected the device to Kies I still had BTU in CSC:
PDA: MJ5, PHONE: MJ5, CSC: MJ5(BTU)
My question is why is it like that? Wasn't the CSC supposed to change to DBT?
And so the main question: Will this interfere me to get OTA updates from Germany when they will be out? Because Kies still keeps saying that it doesn't support my firmware.
Thanks in advance

I mean, when I updated to JB4.3 from 4.2.2 and rooted my phone, The knox counter incresed to 0x1; this was the reason I allways have thought OTA and kies updates notifications will never work again.
Anyway, In my case I can no more update by OTA or kies because I rooted the phone in 4.3 (or better, because of the knox counter increasing), but for buckups and so on I can use it normally, except I had to download kies version 3, the only kies version compatible with S4 JB 4.3, maybe you still have kies version 2.

What region are you in? -- if you flashed a region you are not in, of course KIES won't work as it's not for your country.

XTC shown in your KIES should be your version (So I believe) You have flashed a different region, so KIES and OTA won't work for your region at least, the OTA update will come from the region you flashed (in your case Singapore) However if you're rooted etc, you won't be able to receive the OTA update and you'll have to manually download it. I wouldn't worry right now, wait for KK to roll out properly then switch.

CSC question

Hi. Just a bit confused about my CSC. Currently my phone is on AP: I9505XXUEMKF with CSC: I9505BTUEMK5. As far as I was aware, this is an unbranded CSC for the UK and Ireland? (I am in Ireland). Now my phone was locked to a network but I got it unlocked and the CSC is now this. According to Sammobile, the latest firmware for BTU is I9505XXUENAA but when I connect my phone to kies, it says i have the latest update? Am I missing something big here?

1. The CSC appears close to ur firmware in Kies 3. Like in the 1st pic the CSC is XEU.
2. I9505XXUENAA no is an official update recognized by Kies how u can see in the 2nd pic. Kies 3 recognize that u have the latest update installed. If you want update ur phone by Kies you will have to wait new official update or u will have to use ODIN for install I9505XXUENAA otherways (SamMobile).
I tried that csc the other night, and it loads the Austria/Switzerland stuff on my phone by default......very useful here in the uk.
There is option to select uk/btu but it resets the phone, so Im not spending 3 hours setting up my phone.
Oh, and the mobile data speed seems so crap on that modem compared to mk9....
Thanks for your reply. Do you know whether unbranded phones get updates before branded??

Yes normally.
- Branded phones have to have custom firmware (coz they install their own apps/mods/rebuilts)
- Unbranded handsets can apply new firmware as soon as Samsung releases it (without changes).

Hello,
i have an Samsung Note 3 N9005 CSC: SER (Russia) stuck on android 4.3. When i check the OTA update on the phone or if i connect to KIES 3 i got the message that i already have the latest software. Regarding to

You will have to use ODIN finally and flash the latest firmware for your device. Use ODIN don't void the warranty or active KNOX.

Are you in Russia, or in another region? And are you sure your CSC is SER?
Check the latest firmware for your device using Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser'.
BTW, FYI, flashing via Odin will NOT erase user data on the device.

Hello, i did that the Original, Firmware and Active CSC is SER and if i check for latest firmware there is N9005XXUGNG1 date 2014 October CSC: N9005SERGNJ2 with the Kies icon active.
I know i can flash with ODIN but the question was WHY is not showing up the update in Kies or OTA ?

1. You will have to root the device again when you flash android Lollipop.
2. Lollipop update will be out when will be out.
3. I recommend you update your firmware for fix old problems: HERE. Remember make a backup of all your internal data before use ODIN. You can root it again later if you wish. Dial *#1234# when finish the botting process and have to appear this:
AP: N9005XXUGNG1
CP: N9005XXUGNG1

hi thanks for the reply . i updated the firmware as you mentioned to match the CSC ..but then it downloaded some update and and its back to the previous CSC. plus the brief time the CSC matched there was no LTE option .
so What should i do . Do i update thee firmware again and dont install the OTA update.
or do i root it and get the LTE option .
i am currently in pakistan if that makes a difference.
