O Just recently got a sm-g900f and im stuck with kitkat 4.4.2, cant find Lollipop update, not even 4.4.3 or 4 4.4, i got it from orange and its unlocked, is there anything i can do to receive updates? It says im up to date and that there are no updates available. Cant use kies since i dont have a pc atm
There isn't 4.4.3 or .4 update for Galaxy S5 and Lollipop update is based on region and only few of them received it. But you can always update it yourself by downloading firmware from sammobile.com
I know but as i said i have no pc so i cant upgrade via kies or odin
Lollipop was only released yesterday in the UK. Mine is also unlocked but still no OTA update ?

Hiya i bought a samsung galaxy s4 i9505 unlocked from amazon directly. For some reason i cannot get updates via kies or ota and i manually had to flash a offical firmware with odin so that i had the most up to date firmware. Does anyone know why i cant get updates ota? My carrier is "3" in the uk however the phone is factory unlocked any help is appreciated. What would i have to do to get updates ota or via kies?

As your phone report that the latest updates have been installed, that means everthing is OK and the phone status is official...
Sometimes some roms available to dowload (for example from Sammobile) could be not available yet in OTA mode. I always flash with Odin, I don't really relay on OTA updates...

okk thanks, just a quick question which country gets the updates first? and which countrys firmware are you running on your device?

Hi,
Unbranded phones are due an update on the 7 th
Sent telepathically from my S4
Hello,
I have a Galaxy S4 unlocked Argentina, model GT-9500 Android 4.3 baseband version I9500UBUEMK1
Two days ago, checking for OTA upgrades, I was surprised that a new upgrade was available (I think it was about 390 Mb), so I suppose it is 4.4.2 kitkat (great!).
However, I was not ready to accept the download at that time because my battery charge was not at full, then I canceled after a partial download.
Today, I´m ready to apply the upgrade, but ... it is not available anymore: I receive a message "The latest upgrades have been applied".
Is it that Samsung retired the upgrade, or that my phone "thinks" that it was upgraded because of that partial download ?? In such a case, how can I go back with my phone to the point before the partial upgrade download ?
Thank you very much.
Pablo.
Samsung haven't android 4.4.2 for ur device with CSC: Argentina. This update was a minor one that was installed for sure unknowingly. OTA or Kies 3 doesn't lie. Enjoy ur latest version till KitKat arrives :highfive:

Thank you for your feedback, but ... no, this upgrade was not applied since I have aborted its download. Also, I keep a screenshot of my "About device" to follow upgrades, and nothing have changed.
My oppinion is that there WAS an upgrade there, but it was removed.
I have checked SAMMOBILE for the kitkat upgrade for my country, and it is not available. However, in the past, the 4.3 upgrade was published OTA, and SAMMOBILE reported it a week later...
Anyone had the same symptom as me ??
I'm using a Czech T-mobile S4 GT-I9505 which is currently running firmware 4.3 (baseband I9505XXUEMKF) and am unclear about whether I'll be able to get an official update to 4.4.2 via my Singapore carrier (Starhub) at any point. I can't go via Kies, it says the device doesn't support firmware initialization.
Any advice would be welcome, thanks very much in advance.

1. Android 4.3 and android 4.4.2 use KIES 3.
2. When u conect ur phone to Kies 3, you dont need press Tools -> Firmware Upgrade and Initialization. The update, if u have any, will pop up automatically (example in pic 1 attached).
3. If Kies 3 tell u that can't update is coz the old owner installed one firmware with wrong CSC.
- Go to Kies 3 and you will see ur CSC (its your zone code) like the pic 2 attached.
- Knowing ur CSC, take a look for this firmware in Sammobile.com
- Download and flash it with ODIN (Dont flash a "Black EDITION" if ur phone isnt it)
- Enjoy
Thanks for the reply.
Actually, this was a new phone, but it was purchased as a grey market import. I should have said that I have tried to go via Kies but it tells me I have the latest firmware. So does the phone OTA update.
Could it be that the OTA update is still connecting to the update server for Czech S4 phones and there hasn't been a 4.4.2 rollout there yet? If so, it looks like I have to root it if I want to go to 4.4.2.

I personally use the Phone Info app from the play store. I only ask as I was going to try to see what should be your latest firmware VS what you are on. E.g I'm on BTU and if I didn't have a custom ROM, my latest update is DQD7 still on the April update.
If your knox is already void, would you consider a custom ROM? Superstock 2.8 is fantastic and has the May security pack.
