just got an s4 i9505 help unbranding

Hi guys just recieved my s4 today in the uk.
Its locked 2 three i dont like it branded.
can anyone tell me which firmware i should flash to
sim free version uk
And the newest 1 plz
Tbh don't bother unbranding it, if you want updates quick then your better off staying with the 3 firmware you have already got installed.
Updates on Simfree are painfully slow, compared to the networks we are still waiting for the update that 3 got a month ago.
If you still want to go ahead and unbrand your S4 then there are guides on here to help you do it, first of all though before you can install a unbranded firmware, I think you gonna need to have to unlock it first before you can do anything else.
yea thats fine i know how to do all of that

Little help needed about Lollypop update.

First of all Hi and im new user so im sorry if i post this is wrong section.
Im using Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F) and i need samo help about Lollypop update.
A lot of my friends who have the same phone got their update quite some time ago , but i still did not.
My phone was bought from private store , and from i can see in menu (About device) i think is bought from UAE (Because there is some numers and UAE name in About device) and sold in my country.
I wanted to ask someone who understand whole android update system , what determine how do you get your update? Country the telefon so bought, the country i live or my Mobile carrier i use ?
I will be gratefull if someone can answer me soon.
You can install any Lollipop ROM for G900F variant through ODIN
I had to use Kies to update my phone because Knox was tripped, and I could not receive OTA updates. It might help you, too.

Highest android version on new S5?

What is the highest android version that shipped on new S5. Is it KK 4.4.2?
Trying to buy new S5, but many sellers are selling used/refurbished phones as new, so figure what version OS it is running can help me figure out if phone is actually new.

The last stock update for the S5 was 6.0.1. The S5 has been out since 2014. You will probably not find a new S5, which is why they say used/refurbished. Most places selling an S5 will update them before shipping anyway(anyone can update an S5, they just need a computer and a usb cable). If you get a phone higher than 6.0.1, it may have some sort of custom rom installed on it.

AT&T has Released Pie for S8, S8+ & Note 8 Today

I got the update this morning on my S8+ So check your Software Update.
https://9to5google.com/2019/03/29/a...s8-note-8-android-pie-update-rolling-out-now/
Got the new one UI pie update on my S8+ this morning. Finally happening and sooner than I thought AT&T would push the update. Now onto learning some new settings.
I am not seeing any OTA update, I think its because I am on beta version of android pie. Can any one point me how to get back to regular updates from beta ??
I have the SM-G955U, I'm with cricket but its an At&t phone. I don;t think I'm going to get the update.
i live out of usa and have s8 plus g955u att unlocked on oreo - how can i update cuz i cant get it ota ? can anybody help?
Nope
I still haven't gotten the update on my AT&T S8+. I'm not sure what's going on but every time I go to check for the update it just says, "Current software is up to date". I even went as far as backing up my data and doing a complete factory restore and checking for the update and got the same thing. I know there have been some posts on here regarding using ODIN and using the Sprint or T-Mobile versions to update. Is this still the best option and are there any known issues by doing this?
Thanks guys!
I still haven't got the update on my ATT Samsung S8+ Unlocked. I am from the PH. Is there any way to force update the software?
