Hi guys
Wondering if someone can help me flash the latest MIUI ROM to my Galaxy S4 I9505?
Currently using the latest official british firmware for it which uses Kitkat.
Though phone was bought in Australia.
Just want to be 100% sure of everything before i proceed to flash it.
Thanks in advance

Hi there,
I recently bought a Note 3 with Asian software (sm-N9006). But I live in Europe. I tried to flash the European stock rom
but it constantly failed. The device is already rooted, but I cant manage to install another Stock ROM with Odin.
So what i want to know is:
1. is it even possible?
2. how to?
3. Are there other options?
I really hope someone can help me out!
thanks in advance

Hi,
When asking for help , you should always give as much information about your phone , variant , firmware , rooted/unrooted , stock , any custom installations etc. etc .
Yes , you should be able to return to stock by flashing a stock firmware in odin.
Make a note of your current firmware , and flash one that is is equal to , or later than the current one.

Hi,
Well the variant you have is the samsung galaxy s4 i9505
Stock is the firmware that it came with from the shop.
Find this in settings /about phone.
Make a note of it.
I take it that the upgrade came in the form of an OTA (Over The Air )
So , your current firmware is 4.3
May I suggest a LOT more reading before embarking on anything.

I'm not quite sure what is the region for O2.
Is it N9005 ? which region ?
you could actually find any stock rom from www.samfirmware.com
after that you can flash through ODIN.
you won't mess up your phone, BUT, you have to download the correct firmware for your device (e.g : if your device N9005, you have to use N9005 firmware. If yours is N900, then you have to use N900.)
and other than that, try to flash stock rom which is the same release with your current one or newer release.
If you don't understand on how to flash ODIN, pm me.
Hi Everyone,
I have an international i9505 that I purchased online 18 months ago, and it is yet to receive an OTA update. The phone hasnt been factory reset since I started using it and it is really starting to struggle.
I am looking to root it and put the most up-to-date Samsung rom on it. I do not require the use of 4G
My question is regarding the 5.0.1 rom for the i9500.
Am I able to flash my i9505 with the 5.0.1 i9500 rom?
Thanks for any help.

Hi everybody,
I need help with my rooted Samsung Galaxy S4 Value Edition (gt-i9515, running 4.4.2). I'd like to update it to lollipop and I can't find any specific tutorial for the i9515, which for some reasons seems to be different from the basic i9505 version. I'm running the official rom, since there isn't any support for custom roms on the i9515.
Somebody help me please
Official Update
Hello, no need to do anything guys,
just go to Settings / Check for Updates, it will automatically download the official Samsung Update to lollipop 501

Thank you for your answer, but I had already tried the official way before posting and it didn't work because the phone is rooted

Download the ROM from sammobile and flash it with Odin. You will need to re root and please bear in mind that xposed currently does not work on Samsung Lolipop ROMs

Thank you very much, I'll try that!! :good:
I just realized that the GT-9515 is not even mentioned between the s4 models, hence there's no firmware available to download. How do I solve this now?
