I have Android 4.2.2 bootloader MH8 with root and knox 0x0.
I want to upgrade to Android 4.4 beacause now it is possible to root. In sammobile I checked that the most recent android version for my region is this:
PDA: I9505XXUGNG8
CSC: I9505BTUGNG2
MODEM: I9505XXUGNG8
I saw many people having problems with battery drain and random reboot with GNG8 version.
Which is the best version for Android 4.4?

Evvery 4.4 is the same. Some are tweaked and some are not.
If you want to root and test roms and mods, check the firmware relating to 4.4.2 that has been used widely for making Custom roms.
I select my firmwares that way, because devs here are pretty cool.
Press Thanks if I helped

Hello,
I need to ask if There is any possibility to remove branded applications, and general system
three.uk operator, so that seemed normal as the normal S4.
I bought a phone with root, so this is not necessary, but I'm not sure if it's somehow going to make
and do not know how. TouchWiz does not bother me so or if there is a original samsung rom.
Thank you very much for your answers and advice

You can Flash with the BTU version of XXUBMGA and keep a pre Knox version of 4.2.2 If you want 4.3 you can Flash with a Knox version of the BTU Rom on XXUEMJ7. If you want 4.3 pre Knox you will have to read the forums to find the best option for you. Both of these options definitely work on a 3UK i9505 Galaxy S4

Hi Guys,
I would like to first root my phone and upgrade to KitKat 4.4 firmware and remove the Optus bloat ware. I have stumbled across this firmware and wanted to know if it would be safe to upgrade?
Firmware: I9505XXUFNA1_I9505OXAFNA1_I9505XXUFNA1_OXA - from sammobile
Currently with Optus and my settings are:
Model: GT-I9505
Product Code: GT-I9505ZKAOPS
PDA: I9505XXUEMK9
CSC: I9505OPSEMJ5
Modem: I9505XXUEMK9
Any help would be greatly appreciated
I dont recommend that process coz:
1. The Australian (OPTUS) firmware still without receive the correct android 4.4.2 update.
2. i9505XXUFNA1_I9505OXAFNA1_I9505XXUFNA1_OXA is only a LEAK KitKat firmware (with bugs).
3. You own a branded phone. Better only disable the bloatware at this moment or root it without void ur warranty if you can
Hello
Since the release of kitkat I haven't been able to able update my device and I still have 4.3 version of android on my Note 3 SM-N9005.
Whenever I check for updates it says I have the latest and with kies it says the same thing or says SM-N9005 won't initialize. I heard that I can update manually with odin but I had some questions and fears:
First of all will flashing with odin trigger my knox counter and make it 0x1? I have the Knox app too and working with it keeping my secret information in it.
The other and the most important problem I have is that which frimware should I download? my baseband version is XXUBMI6, and my region (which I checked it from /system/csc/sales_code.dat) is XSI. I am a bit confused with all this stuff and don't know what to do
Thanks in advance for your help please tell me what to do.

1. Flashing the correct firmware for your device via ODIN DON'T trig KNOX counter. Be relaxed.
2. One of the best method for know your CSC (code of country) is rebooting in STOCK RECOVERY and look close the text: "Applied the CSC-code: XXX" like in the pic attached.

- Flashing the stock firmware via Odin will not trip the Knox counter, nor erasing your data.
- To find and download the correct firmware for your device:
Open Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser'.
The latest one will be on the top of the list.

Flashing a stock firmware via Odin will not erase your apps.
I personally doesn't face with wifi and cell connection.
Hey Guys!
I am on the Polish official Lollipop Rom, rooted with Knox 0x0. Because of random reboots caused by the old bootloader I want to sell my phone. I need to unroot and install another stock rom (same version, but with the branding my phone had). I have often read "flashing original firmware does not trigger knox" and my guess is I can propably unroot with supersu, uninstall all the root apps, reactivate all the knox apps and flash the complete rom (including the much needed bootloader of course) and be on the save site.
Since I have lived with Knox for 1 year now (and thats enough for a lifetime), coming all the way from DeLaVega, I just want to be sure I do not trigger it afterall. So please tell me, is it safe or could the old bootloader be problem when flashing with odin for example?
Current:
Bootloader: N9005XXUENA6
CSC: N9005XEOGBOA4
PDA: N9005XXUGBOA5
Kernel: 3.4.0-3643614
The one I need to flash:
PDA: N9005XXUGBOA5
CSC: N9005VFGGBOA2
Thank you so much for any help!
