My friend has a Galaxy I9505 from Vodafone Australia which he is using in India now.
Please tell me the procedure to flash official Android 4.4 KitKat update. The phone is running 4.3 and is not rooted.

Go to sammobile.com. and get it from there, then use Odin to install it.
But considering the fact that 4.4 was never released for Australia, which ROM to flash and what about the CSC?
Bump. Any idea on this one?

After upgraded my S4 i9500 from 4.2.2 to 4.3 XUEMJ5 via Kies, I'm having a lot of troubles regarding battery drain and overheating.
I came to the Samsung Services Center yesterday and asked them to downgrade my device back to 4.2.2, but their answer is "Sorry, we cannot do it. Once upgraded to 4.3, there is no way to reverse to 4.2" ?!?!!?!?!
Is it true? Has anybody tried to downgrade your S4 from 4.3 to 4.2
Thanks for your advice!

I had the same issue. There seems to be a problem downgrading to certain 4.2.2 roms. I eventualy managed to downgrade using the South African version (I9500XXUBMH1) . After you've flashed this,you can re-flash whichever ROM you prefer.
Give it a go and let me know.
Cheers
you are you kidding

Are you really serious? So you can downgrade from 4.3 to 4.2.2 using that firmware? What does your knox say in download mode?

Unfortunately it states:
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
Warrant Bit: 1
But it doesn't really bother me for now, until I have to send it back for repairs I guess
I'm sure the Chainfire guys will eventually be able to reset this counter as the TriangleAway is currently not supporting the GS4 I9500.
Cheers
So is there a specific way you have to flash it or do i just use odin?
Do i flash the roms back to back or what?
Hi all,
my S4 is currently running stock 4.2.2 MG1 rooted and both the phone and Kies refuse to tell me if there is an upgrade available.
In the past Kies would let me get the OTA but I guess Samsung made some change.
So is there an update available (4.3) for Canadian (I337) S4 and how can I install it ?
Is root available yet ?
Thank you.

??? If your phone is rooted you do know your NOT suppose to accept OTA or you will ruin phone.
There are plenty of custom 4.3 rooms out there.

You just loose root access , thats it.

is there a way to downgrade Android 4.4.2 to Android 4.3 on the i9500 i need this urgently. (Stock Official Samsung Touchwiz)
Have you tried downloading the 4.3 ROM for your phone's region from www.sammobile.com/firmware and flashing it with Odin? If you are not sure how to do that, you should be able to find lots of info in the forum explaining how.
BTW, questions should be posted in the Q&A forum.
Best wishes

If you flash the 4.4.2 stock rom then there's no way you can downgrade your phone .

You can still downgrade your phone , by using a Custom rom. But if you flash a stock 4.4.2 STOCK then you can no longer downgrade yoUR phone into 4.3 STOCK rom via odin.

Looking for a stock rom for Canadian Note 3 variant
Only one I could find was 4.3
Would it be possible to revert to 4.3 then update to 4.4 myself?

I dunno what is your device but stock Android 5.0 (lollipop) isn't out for TW devices, only leaks or custom Roms and only for the i9505G (Google Play Edition).
