Hi all. I've been searching for an old firmware for my gt-i9506. Right now i have kitkat 4.4.2 but its bade soo badly that i just hate it. I want 4.3 jelly bean back. I've searched for it for a few weeks. And all i get is rapidgator downloads that looks like a zip file but it is exe and a virus. I cant find them anywhere so now i'll try here. I know that there are 3 different 4.3 versions.
I9506XXUBNE1 / NEEBNE1 Nordic which i think is the first 4.3 for my phone. Then there are
I9506XXUBML6 / NEEBNB1 Nordic &
I9506XXUBML6 / NEEBML1 Nordic
i dont know which one is the newest. But i really hope that someone knows it in here and has a direct download link where i can get it.
One of the things that has changed in 4.4.2 is that i cant hide apps without rooting my phone. I can only uninstall or deactivate it. On all my other old galaxy phones i could hide apps also on Galaxy s5 and all the way back to Galaxy trend. But not here. A little bit of research on the internet told me that it was the 4.4.2 kitkat update that has a whole lot of missing things and that it gives an unstable system.

If im not wrong, you cant back to jelly bean
If you flash kitkat via odin
Search samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com for firmware

Both samsung-updates, sammobile links to rapidgator like i wrote, the size is 1,39 Gb it appears like a .zip but when it's downloaded its an exe file (virus)
Anybody else whos tried ths before and that are able to give me a direct link to the firmware.
You write that i should not be possible, but i've tried to downgrade through odin before, it should be possible, exept if there someting im missing.
Are there someone from the XDA team who i can get to use 1 or 2 minutes to figure this out for me?

I tried it yes, and it appears as a zip file, but when its downloaded and i want to open it, it tells me that its an exe file and not a zip-file, so something is definitely wrong.
Thx
Thx for the link, i managed to get it back to 4.3 through odin and the md5 file from your link. THe phone is now faster, and has all the good old functions back

Im pretty sure you have to use ODIN to flash the update labeled kies, there used to be a way to force kies to use the downloaded firmware however kies has been updated so it may not work, id suggest google or looking around on XDA for a bit more help

Thanks for the files, the Kies one is 1 GB and the OTA is 200 MB, dumb question as I just woke up but what's the difference between both? I have a stock P5113 I'm thinking of simply rooting and I would like a stock rom to flash back to the state it was in out of the box, which of the 2 files do I want and what are the differences, thanks and sorry if it's a silly question.
PS: is this the P5113UEBLG5 version from july? I'd assume so according to the date of the post I'm actually in need of P5113UEBLH3

Hi there,
The download links don't work anymore. Any chance OP has the file?
I realize this is quite an old thread, but I'm trying to give life to an old tablet, and this seems to be my last hope. I've tried almost every kernel and rom I can find. I got one ICS to work, but then WiFi wasn't working... And no one had a solution. Then I found an JB combo that I got to work, but it was just too slow. So that's why I wanted to stick with ICS.
If anyone has the files, it would be greatly appreciated if you can post a download link.
Thanks!
I got my galaxy s4 through T-mobile UK. however it seems to be unlocked and unbranded. I cannot confirm its unlocked as I've never tried another sim card in it - but I see no branding and everything suggests it is unbranded.
In the about phone section of the settings it says my baseband is i9505XXUDMH6 but I cannot find a firmware that matches this anywhere! Also, kies won't work with my phone I guess because its got a custom ROM on it and its rooted so there isn't really any way I know of to find out more and the modem and PDA etc..
I have no idea what firmware I need to be looking for? The unbranded UK one off sam mobile is taking 8 hours to download and has stopped halfway through twice now
Any help would be greatly appreciated and I'm sorry if this is not the appropriate forum to ask this question!
I have exactly the same problem with my firmware on Sammobile, never completes the download. A 1.6 Gb filesize for Android firmware is obscene enough to begin with, but not being able to complete the download is driving me mental!

I've seen that guide before but the firmware it tells me to download is just generic firmware. Will that work with my phone in the UK on my network? :S Also why does that guide have pit files attached? I don't see any mention in the instructions of using them?
If I follow that guide will be phone be back to stock and receive OTA updates again?

Okay, I've been downloading that file for the past hour now luckily! So when (if) this downloads. I can follow that same guide you've linked just using the file I've downloaded in place of the one it provides?
I'm still a little bit confused about those PIT files - I see it changes how the storage on the device is partitioned. Do I want to do that? :S

What country code are you on now? This German (DBT) suppose to be for unbranded phones, but people have problems flashing this. Keeps getting fail in Odin. I'm having this too and I'm standing back for the moment awaiting solution.
You can flash the Polish (XEO) NB3 and the file can be downloaded from sammobile.com/firmwares

There is no returning to 4.3 once you have upgraded your bootloader to 4.4.2

You mentioned nogo to 4.3 due to bootloader however i dindt check the bootloader option in odin (see screenshot). Should i tick that as well next time?
Well there is some debate as to if you should check the bootloader or not.
With the leaked Polish firmware it came in seperate files. You needed to check to upgrade the Bootloader.
With the XEO single .zip firmware you don't need to check it as it upgrades automatically - plenty agree with this. -- There is a few people who say that by not checking it, it hasn't upgraded for them and some just recommend you check it for good luck sake.

MEGA is country based per account. So if I upload to my MEGA it comes from a UK Server which is slow to Asia/America etc, trick is to set up your own MEGA account, and then import it from the download MEGA link and it'll switch to a server in your country and you'll get faster download speeds

Hi All,
I REALLY screwed up and need some help....I have a stock rooted Sprint GS4 running 4.3 MK5, and I was out looking for a mod to allow incall recording, I followed a link on here that said it had a fix for this and it worked on the Sprint version of my phone, so I did a Full Titanium Backup thinking that would restore my phone if I had any problems, but it has been a while since I have played around with roms and mods and forgot about doing a Nandroid Backup....anyway... the file I flashed was supposed to replace my SecPhone.apk with a modded one that Increases call volume and allows for call recording....so I flashed it, but when I rebooted I know get an error that reads "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped." with an "OK" button, when I hit the ok my whole system is very slow and unstable or just plain non responsive!
So I am looking for a fix, maybe someone has the stock sprint version of that SecPhone.apk that I can put back on my phone? Or the link to a modded APK that will give me what I was looking for to begin with?
At this point my phone is totally unusable so hopefully I can come up with a fix soon!
Or does anyone have a link to a stock 4.3 MK5 rom I can flash back on my phone?
Thanks in advance for any help with this!

Download a flashable zip file for a stock ROM for your device and pull it from there. That is the simplest and fastest way to get it bro. Another option is to use Moblile Odin to flash a stock tar, without wiping data and cache. I do it whenever I encounter a problem and it works fine.

Hello,
I'm running KitKat 4.4.4 AOKP with a different kernel with CWM recovery and I want to return to stock touchwiz. I'm using a SM-N9005 (hlte)
Only problem is I cannot find a 4.4.4 stock touchwiz rom for my phone. So I headed to Sam Mobile and found some stock ROMS however they are Android Lollipop I think. So I downloaded this ROM:
http ://bit .ly/1Pkq933 and my question is can I just wipe and flash it, or will that screw my phone seeing as i'm going straight to Lollipop from KitKat??
Thanks in advance.
I don't know how to attach pictures so heres an imgur link to my "About Phone" screenshot, because I probably made a mistake somewhere: i.imgur .com/DzQCDpE. png
Sorry if working around the link filter is against a rule but I'm pretty bad at explaining things so a picture would hopefully eliminate the possibility of screwing up because of my own stupidity.

1. Backup all your internal data to your pc (pics, folders, etc).
2. I recommend you use TWRP than CWM.
3. Wipe all (system, data, cache and dalvik).
4. Download, unzip and flash this firmware via ODIN in DOWNLOAD MODE then.
