hey guys, yesterday i updated my i9500 via ODIN with the official 4.3 firmware, but afterwards when i tried connecting via Kies, it throws up the error firmware not supported on Kies.
Kindly help me.
I would like to know if my phone has been rooted?? As i do not want to root my cell and just want to install the official 4.3 firmware
I downloaded the official firmware for India 4.3 from Sammbile.com, also would like to know whether i need to install the INU or INS firmware.
My Model No. is GT-I9500ZKAINU. Please help me!!
Thanks in advance...

Have you not seen on this forums how 4.3 is such a baddie? But yeah as they guy/girl said above reinstall kies and if that doesnt work clear the cache or whatever on your S4?
Hey guys can someone please give me some advice on what to do with my phone please....
Sprint
Model # - SPH-L720
Android Version: KitKat 4.4.2
Kernel Version: [email protected] #1
Build# - Negalite-WondeROM-NAE-r6
I rooted and installed this rom a few months back, im getting inconsistent service! i barely get data service in places i should be getting. i updated my PRL, Profile, and Firmware but still no change. i called sprint and they said you need to update the PRL but i already did that but they dont see it on their system that i did, maybe its because im rooted with a custom rom.
if anyone knows what to do or which rom i should install. please any help would be great. thank you

1. This is the latest firmware: HERE.
2. You can't flash older firmware.
So one day I bricked my phone and had to flash it with the unbrick guide but it downgraded my phone to NCE which would be fine if i could just update my damn phone again. The problem I'm having is everytime I see if there's an OTA update it just says Your current software is up to date even though its not because im clearly on NCE........ Ive tried flashing Dynamic Kat to see if it would update everything but it doesnt upate the baseband. Does anyone know of a way I can fix this please?
Simon Hammers said:
If anyone could please help me it would be greatly appreciated. My phones bootloader is on NG3 but the baseband is just not updating. I read the only way to update your phones baseband is to take the OTA update but the problem with that is anytime I try to get it, I get a message that says current software is up to date which is bull**** because my baseband is NCE. So if anyone maybe knows what's going on or how to fix this issue could you please help me out

You could also just a flash a newer rom from another country/region with Odin, this doesn`t trip KNOX.

How would that work out since i have the G900A with a locked bootloader? Pretty sure the only thing i can flash through odin is the firmware in this link which is NCE. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/28224/G900AUCU1ANCE_G900AATT1ANCE_ATT.zip/
What model (version) of s4 is exactly this phone? which software is installed on it? is it stock or not ? plzz help and tell me its complete version details
My phone is sgh-i337 or gt-i9505 ? Or only baseband version is i337...or any firmware version difference ? Help
Open the back and remove the battery. Look on the label. Unless the person who sold you the phone physically changed the label, or removed it, it will accurately tell you the hardware version of your phone.
Given that the boot loader and modem (baseband) are for the AT&T version, SGH-I337, it seems likely that the hardware is I337.
Edit: Also, check that it's not a cheap fake clone. There are apps that can check hardware, and run benchmarks, etc. Search "Genuine Galaxy" on the play store.

I've really no clue. I'm not aware whether an AT&T modem will even work on that phone.
If the hardware is genuine GT-I9505, then you will most likely get a more definitive answer in the XDA-Developers forum for that phone.

It's most likely an I337 with an I9505 system. Either way, since the bootloader is i337, that means it's locked so if it ever was an I9505 it's not now, but mist likely it wasn't ever.
I checked indownload mode its sgh i337....can I install back stock firmware ...see this site http://www.att.com/esupport/softwareUpdateArticle.jsp?sid=KB419415&cv=820

The boot loader is locked, so you can't do this exactly. You can install stock KitKat, install safestrap, and upgrade to lollipop that way. You need to read through the forums to understand what you are doing before you proceed. I'd suggest you do quite a bit of reading, and only flash when you are sure you know what you want to do.

You seem to understand what you are doing. You should be able to figure this out on your own.
Start here.
Also this.
And this.
Or try some of the fine custom firmware in the Android Development forum.

I do not own this phone, so I can't test or speak from personal experience. I already gave you the links to the information you need ^^^. I don't know if you can receive Over The Air (OTA) firmware updates. You may not be able to if you're not in USA. Also, I'm not sure if you need to be on an AT&T sim. If you can, you can get stock lollipop without root with this method: go to the "[GUIDE]Odin to Stock, Updating, Rooting, and Installing Safestrap" which is the second link. Go to the second post titled "Odin to Stock, Updating, Rooting, and Safestrap Instructions" and click the button to expand the instructions for "OPTION 1 - Stock Lollipop (No ROOT)"
If you cannot receive OTA updates, then currently your option would be to first flash NB1, manually flash the NJ4 update, root and install safestrap. In the Odin to Stock guide, perform both step 1 and step 2 under "NJ4 -- KitKat 4.4.4" After this, you can use the "[How-To] Update to I337_OC3 - 5.0.1 and KeepRoot (4/7/2015) " thread, which is the third link above ^^^.
Your third option would be to wait until the developers post a method for flashing Lollipop directly from Odin.

I successfuly updated to 4.4.2 stock NB1 software manually thorough odin then manually flashed NJ4 by stock recovery...now im not receiving ota update to lolipop....now what nxt to do ? should i root NJ4 and install OC3...
And actually I dont want to root i nedd unrooted stock OC3 ...if you know any direct method to flash..
After update to nj4 4.4.4 im getting delays in sending text msgs and making calls....what to do now should i flash different modem or baseband any ideas ?? :/
Now that you have updated your user account, we can see that you are in Faisalabad, Pakistan using Mobilink carrier. As far as I know, you will not be able to receive an over the air update, nor be able to use Kies to update. Someone who knows more could give a definitive answer on this.
Assuming that you will be unable to use OTA or Kies, your options are:
- root, install safestrap, install rooted OC3
- wait unitl (and if) developers post an Odin flashable version of stock unrooted OC3.
As far as your other issues, you could install the NB1 modem (baseband) and see if that clears up the issues, as it was working before.
