Hi XDA, I need help with my future Stock Rom. I have an Galaxy S4 I9500 which Im going to give away but its rom-customized, rooted and also has xposed framework. I live in Venezuela so I searched the firmwares trought Samobile but neither of the rom's worked because they are all branded and the one that I need (movistar) is from Android Jelly Bean. When I got this phone it had an unbranded stock rom without any bloatware from any Phone-line company, find that rom would be excellent but Android 5.0.1 from movistar could also works. Any help?

This isn't the right place to post such questions.
Go to S4 Q&A, help and troubleshooting. Post your question in a related thread. No need to start a new thread for this.

I have used Samobile and downloaded the firmware either for Argentina, Product Code: ARO, or Trinidad and Tobago, Product Code: TTT. They are open firmewares and work just fine and are more updated than the ones for Venezuela Movistar, Digitel or Movilnet. I use Digitel and have had no problem with these.

Hi All,
Ive searched and searched and cant find anything, i have just acquired a SGS4, I9505.
First of all... you will need to know this:
AP: I9505XXUDMGG
CP: I9505XXUDMGG
CSC: I9505VFGDMG3
Im on a understanding that this is on Voda (UK) software, however the handset isnt locked to Vodafone. I recieved this second hand and have a Three network sim on it.
My question:
I see on Samsung-updates.com and SamMobile that there are loads of 4.3 software variants available to download and flash, would i specifically need to look for a MGG one? (If so i can only find 4.2.2 ones) or would any UK Variant work? I was wanting to try this before i think about Custom romming the handset. . . Also, if i am available to do this would it lock the phone to Vodafone (If the handset was ever unlocked before i got it)
Thanks in Advanced guys.

Here you go and next time post it in a right Section. Have a nice day.
Hello Xda community,
Personally i own an unbranded GS4 i9500( currently i have Android Jellu Bean) and i wanted to know which version of kit kat is the best to update to, since there are many options in sammobile.
- Country: India
PDA: I9500XXUFNB3
CSC: I9500ODDFNB3
And the rest are from different countries(Trinidad and Tobago, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia) but they have the same PDA and CSC, unfortunately it isnt released in my country yet...
PDA: I9500XXUFNB7
CSC: I9500OLBFNB4
Thank you in advance
The best u can do for avoid problems is:
1- Conect it to Kies 3 for know ur code region. CSC are the 3 letters btw parenthesis. The list of codes for region is HERE
2- Wait the update for ur code region. Why? Each country is different (some have LTE, others only 3g, differents modems, etc).
3- If its try for try.... select the one u wish but take care of the step 2 :highfive:
Indian one is quite stable and battery friendly.

As the i9500 does not have LTE, is safe to flash both. I did saw some improvments in phone calls and time to do the call in the indian version from the latest Omega Rom. The v18 was based on Russian version and v19 is based on indian.
Hope this help.
Hi all
Firstly, I'm sorry if this has been posted elsewhere but I haven't been able to find it. I have a Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 (the non LTE version) on Vodafone UK, I had the latest update on Kit Kat (I think it was 4.4.2) it was behaving very oddly and freezing multiple times through out the day. I tried to flash a Vodafone ROM using Odin, but it failed, and keeps failing - I later found out that this is because the version of the ROM I was using is earlier than the version I had, which is why its not working.
My phone is now stuck on the Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue screen, but I can't locate the most recent 4.4.2 Vodafone UK ROM - is there anyone that can help me please?
Thank you very much in advance for your help
Find here all you gotta do is select your country and model ul get United Kingdom vodafone in country list select that and it'll give you the download link

Hey guys,
I've recently bought an Galaxy S5 G900F from Vodafone Germany, but now i live in Romania.
The phone is running stock with all the vodafone and samsung bloat.
My question is how to flash an international rom without any bloat, or maybe my current country rom?
Sorry for being noob but i am new to samsung, not android

Just use Odin and flash any unbranded firmware from Samsung Updates,SamMobile or links from Firmware thread here
so there's no need to unlock bootloader and so on? only download firmware and flash via odin? does this unbrand phone? i mean get rid of vodafone bloat?
Bloat comes with the ROM, if you flash a clean bloat free ROM, bloat is gone

Example, my phone also had bloatware by the carrier, but I flashed various firmware various countries unbranded and branded without problems
carriers bloat is gone
but Samsung bloat comes with all stock firmwares
I now even i'm with Malaysian firmware or (not remember now)
See Firmware thread in General section
Thanks for the info
