[Q] Galaxy S4 I9505 Original Help Needed

Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 Original
I am having the problem of not seeing the option in Network menu to enable 4G/LTE. I am running 4.3 right now. Our service provider Ooredoo in this country (Maldives) has released 4G and several others with the same model phone as mine can switch to 4G. I was wondering if there is any fix for this. I did hear about rooting the phone and deleting a file to fix this problem. I can't find out which file. and I have already downloaded a 4.3 firmware that said would fix the problem and flashed it. But there is no change.
And I am looking for the 4.4 Official Firmware for Galaxy S4 I9505 which can be used in my country.. Maldives.
And also is it possible to Downgrade the phone back to 4.3 after I flash 4.4?? From what I know so far it isnt.
I will post more information about the phone soon. Don't have it atm.
Thanks for any help you guys can provide.

Alright so I was directed to a firmware on Sammobile
/firmwares/3/?download=27582
Model: GT-I9505
Model name: GALAXY S4 LTE
Country: Unknown
Version: Android 4.4.2
Changelist: 481100
Build date: Wed, 19 Mar 2014 10:39:06 +0000
Product Code: OMD
PDA: I9505XXUFNC9
CSC: I9505OMDFNC1

Does the country being Unknown have any effect on the firmware? The I9505XXUFNC9 firmware is said to be the international one but there is one on Sammobile that has country/carrier of Russia.
Thanks.

no sorry not as yet. i know it's a pain in da a**, regard's joe

OK, so this is odd: if I do a *#1234# the CSC listed is G900FOXA1BOA4 which is UK, but if I run phone info *Samsung* it still says I'm on Poland CSC, even though it lists the UK CSC?!
So, is G900FOXA1BOA4 UK or Poland? Have I got UK csc or not?!

Hi, has anyone tried using Kies emergency firmware recovery? I tried "firmware upgrade and initialization" and entered by device serial, it detects correctly (XSE) but when I proceeded with it, it goes to the default CSC in the rom (XXV - its a multi CSC rom btw). Not sure how to get emergency firmware recovery code tho...

[Q] Galaxy S4 (GT-i9500) Official Lollipop update on Indian Version, any bad ?

Hello there,
I have downloaded the official version of GT-i9500 Lollipop 5.0.1 ROM , Russia release , from Sammobile. Its a typical odin version single tar file. If I have install this on my Indian Galaxy S4 (GT-i9500) , by pointing the Odin (3.09) AP/PDA to the corresponding tar file alone , will it succeed ?
I have seen a couple of threads showing installation of russian version on other phones, but in that all, the zip file contains , 4 tar file for each section , pda, ser and so on. So I doubted if I proceed with only pointing the PDA and rest 3 section as blank on my Indian versino of S4, will there be any problem ? As I am using it as a daily driver, I dont want to experiment and see the result.
Please comment
Cheers,
KiK

Hey ya... Alright, so you mean to say not to bother about the other 3 columns only to fill with AP/PDA with the downloaded tar file, So have you tried this before ? I know it works for same country ROMs , but not sure about a different country, so wanted the confirmation. If someone tried and found it working then I will go for it.
Cheers,
KiK

Alright, Good to go with Lollipop Russia 5.0.1
Hey Folks, I tried myself upgrading my GS4 with the official lollipop 5.0.1 Russia release on my India Phone, and it works fine. Just need to download the tar file from sammobile and point that in AP/PDA section of Odin 3.09, and start it off, Done ! It feel refreshing the new look and performance after the upgrade
Cheers,
KiK

Samsung galaxy note 4 6.0.1 update?

phone details
samsung galaxy note 4 (snapdragon 805)
5.1.1
sm-n910f
baseband version: n910fxxu1coj3
I was following a guide but then came across a few questions
I am trying to update to 6.0.1 i need some advice about which rom to install as automatic update will not work. Little unsure what region rom to use i am from Australia and this phone model is not a Australian model i am guessing i should use one of the United kingdom ones?
A google search revealed N910FXXU1COJ3 firmware version for Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (Snapdragon) (SM-N910F) from region DBT what is DBT? is there a 6.0.1 DBT?

Just make sure the model number of the firmware matches that of your device. After you have installed it onto your device and just skip through the set up process. Then perform a hard factory reset but wipe the cache partition first. You should now be able to get firmware OTA updates on your device.

DBT is just the CSC code, its Germany. Best and most stable I would say is to flash the 6.0.1 united kingdom BTU one.

Download the firmware from here. Once downloaded extract it to pc.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/111876/N910FXXS1DPK1_N910FBTU1DPI1_BTU/
Download odin from here. Version 3.10.6 seems to work better.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711451&page=19
On device go to software info, tap build number 7 times until developer options is available. Go on developer options and enable usb debugging.
Open odin, click AP and insert the unzipped firmware.
Turn phone off, once off hold power + down + home until phone boots to download mode.
Plug phone into pc and wait until it says added in odin with a blue COM box. Click options in odin, check auto reboot and f.reset time. Uncheck repartition.
Then just press start, it will flash the firmware and reboot. The first time it boots it may take like 20 mins or so.

Yea I'm having a similar issue too. OTA and smart switch says that my phone is up to date but I know it is not according to sam mobile. My device is sm-n190s XSG and I flashed a stock 5.1.1. Rom months ago. I know I can update via Odin if I wanted to, but how do I update the normal way if I wanted to in the future?

[Update: Galaxy S7 edge too!] Full Android 7.0 firmware for the Galaxy S7 now availab

The firmware are available for two regions: UK (BTU) and the Czech Republic (O2C). You can download these Nougat-based firmware files and flash your compatible Galaxy S7 models manually (you should also be able to update your device through Samsung Smart Switch on your PC). Galaxy S7 edge firmware shouldn’t be far behind, and we will be sure to let you know once those show up in our database.

Yes

Right .. I've been reading and researching this .. but can't find a definitive answer. Perhaps one of you gurus can assist. According to Phone INFO I have the following setup:
Bootloader/PDA/Baeband Version: G935FXXU1DPLT
CSC Version: G935FOXA1DPLT
When I try to use/install the Galaxy Gear VR, I keep getting "network error". From my research, this is linked to the CSC. Question is, how do I restore it to base CSC - without rooting?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers.

The other thread was created when the full firmware was not available yet, the workaround was to flash mm btu then update to nougat. These are the nougat firmwares as they are now available, not the mm ones. so you just have to flash them and you'll have nougat on your phone.

I haven't flashed a different CSC cause I don't want to lose features such as the Mobile data toggle, currently on the Arab firmware since my phone is a Duos, anyone know if BTU has the Mobile data toggle even on 7.0?
