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 there,
I have just got a note 3, on firmware 4.3,
I am considering upgrading to kitkat (stock not available to me yet O2 uk.) But Im also considering rooting it.
I have read something about knox what is it ?
Does kitkat fix the issue with wifi connection drop out ?
Also how would I go about upgrading to kitkat and rooting it ??
Please can anyone help me thank you

Yesh, the wifi connection will be disconnected frequently after updating to 4.4.2. And sometimes you have to re-key in the password manually. I have unrooted my device and now using the official firmware. For N9005 i feel that the best firmware will be 4.3 (Jelly Bean) the original firmware. Anyway, it's just my opinion. If want to root still, just go ahead, but make sure you have do lots of survey and follow the instruction properly. (Sorry for my poor english)

Hello people, I have been lurking and I was here last year to root my SCH-I545 and I still have the android version 4.2.2 . I know it was impossible to unlock the next version (4.4.2?) so I just moved on and kept using 4.2.2. So where is the official unlock for the latest version for SCH-I545? Is it supposed to be the same as i9500 or i9505 or i9505g? And I want a root of the official verizon version, not cyanogen or watever release group there may be. (no offence). I've tried your stuff but its just buggy sometimes and it feels weird. Sorry I didn't mean to diss the whole community of developers out there, I'm sure people appreciate your hard work and dedication.
But back to the main point, I want to update my rooted Verizon SCH-I545 from 4.2.2 to the latest version, please show me where to go.

Hello guys!
Recently I downloaded the Lollipop firmware from SamMobile and ungraded my Galaxy S5(G900H) to Lollipop but to my utter disappointment the new Android is gross for me.
So I just want to go back to KitKAt and my serious question that would it be just fine if I download the StockROM(4.4.x) from SamMobile and flash it through odin?
Will I not lose my Service Signals?
Would I need any particular modem after the downgrade?
My phone is not rooted,
Thanks....
You should be all right as long as you're getting the right version for the right device based on the right carrier. I've found that Kies has made it possible to unbork my past devices, but right now I haven't attempted to downgrade my phone from lollipop to Kitkat using it.

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?
