You have some options:
1. Flash a custom firmware through custom recovery.
2. Download the latest firmware and flash it through ODIN. For know what firmware is the best for you, conect it to Kies and tell me the 3 letters close to ur CSC

Thanks for quick reply.
I already attached image showing csc characters.( MJ5(INU))
Does flashing firmware through odin void warrenty?
there is no way to get official update via software update or kies?

its just the update didt arrived for your country and there is 2 solutions :
1- wait till the update arrive
2- download & falsh the Update VIA Odin
if you flash it with odin nothing wrong will happen i just recommend you to backup everything :good:

you need to flash 4.3 then 4.4.2 Because of the bootloader

ok,so do i need to flash all updates that are passed over 4.2.2 up untill now to get the latest 4.4.2 or any one 4.3 firmware will work, and then 4.4.2 firmware ?
Where can i download all these firmwares?

Download 4.3 Here
You Want to download 4.4.2 you will need to signup to www.sammobile.com
then enter firmware section then search for your device in search bar "GT-I9500" then choose country and download
PS: if you dont know how to flash VIA Odin Search XDA or Google it

[Help]Firmware Issues

Hi,I'm new here and i have a problem my phone is showing the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.Please select recovery mode in kies and try again.".I don't know how to fix this:crying:.
my phones status in odin mode isroduct name:SM-G7102
Current binary:Custom
System status:Custom
i was running the Indian NG7 4.4.2 rom.i cant flash the G4 rom because it will only show an error.i think i need to flash a G7 rom instead of G4 am i right or wrong?and if someone can reply i will be very grateful.

If you already had CWM installed earlier, flash it again using odin. Once done you will be able to turn on your phone with whatever version of rom u have installed already.

thank you for replying but everything is all wiped EVERYTHING Boot,system,etc i was running the stock android 4.4.2 it was only rooted i can flash cwm through odin after that waht can i do?

heyy bro same problem here...although i flashed the stock recovery and binary went back to Official but status was custom... tried a lot to flash the G4 firmware but couldn't.... hence i gave it to service centre..wont get warranty.. they said if they succeed by updating the software then it will be $3.27 else they will unroot which may cost $12.26.....
i just want my phone back to life:crying:

Yeah we have the same problem so did you manage to fix it? I think to fix it via odin we need the official NG7 rom from samsung but they haven't released it in sammobile or at samsung updates

post some screen shot

NG7 release. ......hurry

Initialize your grand 2 firmware using kies. It will install the latest firmware but you will lose root. [emoji4]

I believe it is in need of repartition. Some partition from the Rom you're trying to install exceeds current partition size.
So either find the correct update for your region (which I strongly advise) Either try it by ticking repartition( do it your own risk) which is not advisable as you might end up bricking the phone.
You need a pit file for repartition.

The best solution for you is to initialize your phone using Kies 3... However, this requires a running phone, not a bootlooping one... Use a firmware that works with you first!
Install it, connect your phone and do the initialization from the firmware menu... This should install the latest available firmware to your device while cleaning up the whole mess....
Good luck

Send it to Samsung... They definitely know how to put Kitkat on your device!

Are u sure you are downloading right firmware for your device since there are few variants around here, and mayb kitkat is not released for your variant ...
As i can see on samsung update page there is only one 4.4.4 for your device variant (s3ve3gUB)
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9300I
It is : I9300IUBUBNJ1 ,so try flashing that one

I am working on the same exact phone and I have having a hard time finding the right firmware for this phone.
It is stuck on recovery. I get a could not do normal boot and back to recovery. So I was planning on flashing a stock rom to get it out of recovery. Every how to page talks about going into setting to find your firmware version. This makes it hard when you cannot get into phone settings.
If you ever find the right Rom for this type of phone Please reply. Every rom site I have visited does not have the correct one.

This is most probably a hardware issue. Something on the main board got fried or some other glitch took place in a hardware component. Send it to Samsung for a repair or better buy a new phone.

Another idea is to use Smart Switch. You don't need a running phone this time. Just choose the firmware initialization option and enter your device model and serial number, and you're good to go. If this didn't work, send it to Samsung or give it a goodbye kiss.

SAMSUNG Blocked wifi on kitkat 4.4.2 stock roms???

Hello 2 all !
i use the stock roms for my S4 ,most offen i use kitkat 4.4.2 versions.Today i reflash my phone and i get this stupid msg on notification : '

I reflash many time with diffrent roms versions (only kk 4 4 2 from sammobile) the probl is the same on every rom i flash !!
I think is releate with KNOX crap but im not sure ,The only way to have wifi on kitkat again is to flash another kernel after i flash the stock rom !!! I really need help with that because i need some stock version for daily use.
I try kies ....same results.... i try odin..same results ...wifi dont start ! I delete wpa_supplicant from data/misc/wifi ..nothing.... no wifi !

I do not think I missed the point. Your original post only mentions KK but not LP which is why I suggested LP. The last line of your original post even states the ROM in use on the phone.

No worries. Thank you for clarifying the situation. Your English is fine.
I don't know which version of Odin you are using but I always use Odin 3.07 because I have never had a problem with 3.07.
Do you have a pit file for your phone? Flashing the pit file with the stock ROM in Odin might solve the problem.

This is coz KNOX blocked the wifi access.
SOLUTION:
1. Flash via ODIN the latest android 4.4.2 version to your device: THIS ONE.
2. Root it via ODIN with CF-Autoroot.
3. Using Root Explorer (for example) delete all the KNOX entries: GUIDE.
4. Reboot your device. You should have wifi now. Install TRIANGLE AWAY and reset your flash counter to complete the job. Done.

Are you using the original USB cable?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes I am using the original usb cable that came in the box in a USB 2.0 port with usb driver for i9505 and kies installed (and i close it with taskmgr when i open odin)
My method of downgrading to android 4.3 needs PhilZ/CWM and android 4.4.2 (i cant test on 5 because it says There is no pit partition when i try to flash recovery/root)
I got a odex 4.3 stock rom with more stuff but it can be installed with custom recovery, not odin, like a custom one. But i am afraid that I need atleast android 4.4.2 to keep modem working.

Flashing a ROM with Philz/CWM will not usually flash the bootloader and this may be the cause of the problem in that you are trying to run a 4.2.2/4.3/4.4.2 ROM on a 5.01 bootloader and modem.

Well I would downgrade to android 4.4 by Odin but as I said flashing anything will say "There is no pit partition" (re-partition is off)

Using an incompatible USB cable could cause Odin tool fail when reading the phone partition information.
If you have tried with a short, original Samsung USB cable, not sure what else to suggest.
I have flashed many s3, s4, note 2 and note 3 phones and never had a problem with an original Samsung USB cable unless the phone was defective.

well i ve already talked to someone i know from a service and tommorow i will send the phone to them and they will flash android 4.2.2 or 4.3 on it

If the phone is running a 5.01 bootloader, I highly doubt they can downgrade the bootloader. I've never come across a post on XDA where the Samsung 5.01 bootloader was successfully downgraded to anything older than 4.4.2, even using a riff or octopus box.
Please let us know how it turns out. I hope you are successful.
