Jellybean to Kitkat upgrade problem - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Experts,
I am using Galaxy S4 and unable to update my phone OS from jellybean 4.2.2 to Kitkat. I bought this phone from Dubai in 2013 and using in India. When I try to update software through wi-fi or Kies, it always tells me that I have latest version.
Can anyone tell me why I am facing this problem and how can upgrade OS?

You can check here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
enter your device and see wether there is a new firmware.

I think
There is a thread in general section for an updated rom which is available for india consumers
That is a odin flashable firmware
But if you are not familiar with all this then you should not do it
Instead take it to either a samsung service center or any third party mobile repair shop

If the phone is an i9505 the ssc wont have the firmware and would keep his phone. In India i9505 is not that common. We have i9500.
Its better to do it yourself

S4 4g is being sold in india therefore ssc will have all the required tools and files
The problem could be ssc refusing to upgrade due to mobile being purchased outside from india

Outside phones they charge a tad bit higher.

Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies

Brand new Note 2 .Not rooted. When I connect to Kies I get the above message.
Wont be such a problem I guess as I will just download from Sammobile and flash with Odin. Just curious as to why I get that message.
The phone is a EU Spec model (French) and I am in UK. That would have no bearing on it would it?

Try reinstalling kies, i had same with SGS3, just reinstalled kies and after that worked without any problems.
The same here even after clean installation of the new kies
Only updated Kies this morning as I wanted to flash latest official update on my S3 in preparation for selling it. Like I said it probably won't be a problem as it willmore than likely be rooted before an update is released. I just like things to work as they should.

Kies will work when there are roms on kies, at the moment the samsung kies servers have no N7100 roms at all.

Thanks, so i need to re-install KIES or re-initialise my phone in download mode or when the FW is ready to be downloaded from KIES, it will change the status? Right now it is showing not supported for upgrade via kies...hmm but irrc my previous S3 (telco set) will show " your phone is running the latest firmware" in KIES rather than showing not supported (when there is no new FW).
A day back I had done a nandroid backup of my phone using CWM and flashed a custom rom, the the very same day i restored the nandroid backup because i didn't like the custom rom, now there is JB update available for my region ad whenever i connect my phone to kies it says "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies" ... I tried reinstalling kies but it didn't help. Help!
I have the same problem. Installed ICS from odin and its over, kies wont recognise it anymore. I have tab 7.7 P6800 and its for a birthday gift so rofl. It would be great if someone have any sugestions. Thanks to all.

[Q] KIES update not going through, Check my codes..

Hi, I flashed with odin before and changed CSC aswell
i had uk unbranded s4
switched to german
i get this:
"your devices current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via kies"
Current firmware version: PDA:MGA / PHONE:MGA / CSC:MH2 (DBT)
i think its correct, so whats the problem ?
thx
Did you flash a pre-rooted stock firmware? If so, Kies may be detecting that the firmware is modified, and does not allow you to update. On your phone, go to settings - more - about device - software update and see if you get the error that your device has been modified. If so, you can try triangle away or else you have to factory reset your phone to remove this error.

In phone it says i did too many updates... and try in kies.
I flashed stock german no root.
But inthink i flashed it twice first not changed csc then changed csc and flashed again. How can i fix it?

To get official Kies updates the PDA phone and csc codes must all match. Because your codes don't match Kies knows the device has been modified.

Something is still not official with your firmware. You may have activated the "fuse" security feature. When you have stock firmware do you have wifi and sound?

You have upgraded your bootloader by flashing N900ZSUBMJ2_N900OZSBMJ2_BRI, (your phone now has MJ2 build), you can not downgrade bootloaders on Samsung phones so you cant not go back to N900XXUBMJ1_N900OJVBMI5_KSA.
You will need to wait for your stock rom to be upgraded to MJ2 or you can flash CMW/TWRP and run custom roms.
Some users say Kies 3 Beta using 'Emergency Firmware Recovery' work to get their phone back to original but it didnt work for me.
The same happened to me but my stock was upgraded a few days later - had to run custom rom for nearly a week but back with stock rom now.

Does anyone know what would happen if we installed the generic T817 firmware on the SM-T817T model? Would it simply disable the LTE aspect of the tablet? I don't really care about the LTE, personally.

samsung s5 SM-G900F call audio delay

Hello
I've just got a used S5 SM-G900F Running Stock 4.4.2 Baseband Version G900FXXU1ANC7 and I have noticed that there is a large amount of delay when calling !
the G900F is the European version, it doesn't connect to LTE but that doesn't matter to me.
My carrier is Ultra Mobile, its a mvno that uses T-mobile network
here is the delay shown in this clip I'm calling from my samsung s5 "on the right" to LG E980 on the left : https://youtu.be/7Ko6ogf4i-c
I have tried my SIM in another phone and there is no delay
any ideas ?
