Got my phone (Galaxy S5 G900F) today in the mail but it won't update to latest version.
It's now on version 4.4.2 and just says that latest updates are already installed when trying to update.
Doesn't work to update with smart switch either.
What to do?
Check for the latest updates for your region/carrier on sammobile dot com Or Samsung-updates dot com, if it's different/newer to what is on your device at the moment, download it and flash it with Odin....instructions for Odin flashing are readily/easily locatable if you're not sure how.......
Good luck.

Hi,
I have a samsung galaxy note N7100 which is made in vietnam and has a chinese version of 4.1.2. I live in India and hence want to update it to Indian version of 4.3 jellybean.
I am not able to officially update it via samsung kies and hence tried doing it through odin. I have downloaded two different official versions of 4.3 android OS (Indian version) from two different websites samsung-upates.com and forum.xda-deelopers.com.
I ma using Odin 3.07 as per the instructions shown on internet but everytime i hit the start button in odin it shows FAIL in red highlighted box on top left side. I have tried two different OS versions of 4.3 as well as different versions of odin like 1.85, 3.06, 3.07, 4.43 etc but the outcome remains the same.
Kindly help me to get the solution for this nad update my N7100 to official Indian version of 4.3.
Hi. I have the i9505 and my CSC is BTU. When I check on Sammobile if there is an update, it shows that the latest is XXUFNC4 which is available by Kies. But when I run Kies, it says my phone has the lastest update at XXUFNB8. Any idea why i'm not receiving the new update?
Thanks!
Download stock ROM at Sammobile.com and flash via Odin

NB8 is the latest version for the regular S4. NC4 is for the Black Edition S4

Root breaks the link to OTA and Kies updates. I recommend you this steps for avoid problems:
1. Install this APP and look for your CSC code (Pic 1).
2. Look for that 3 letters in "Select Country" -> HERE. It will tell you of what country is your device.
3. Download, unzip and flash via ODIN the latest firmware for your device (Pic 2).
My Galaxy Note 3 is an N9005 (LTE capable) phone and the firmware for my region (Philippines) has stopped its updates since 11/19/2015, I see that UAE has its firmware dated 06/30/2016 and thats pretty recent, will it be okay for my device to use a UAE firmware ? or is there a suggested firmware that works 'globally' ?
Choose one for your network .
But what do you expect to update to ??or even want to update to as 5.0 is the latest .
If you want the latest security updates for your stock 5.0 you can try this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-qs-n9005-lp-t3037655
If you want MM there are s7/n5 ports and cm13 roms here on the forums.
Hi,
i have purchased the Samsung galaxy S8 SM-G950FD from Dubai, since i will be using the phone in India i have flashed the phone with official stock firmware . now my question is will i received the OTA updates as usual or i have to keep on updating the phones manually. also when i use the smart switch my phones shows firmware updated. but recently on the July 16th there was new firnware which i have not received. Could anyone guide what should i do as i am concerned. also how can i do the master reset . (the same csc and firmware as it came from out of the box )
so where exactly did you get this stock firmware. my carier's firmware update is really slow, i dont want it
Firmware downloaded from Sam mobile
I had downloaded from Sam mobile . But mine is international unlocked version . Please check your firmware and model before flashing . My model is SM-G950FD
