I know the title is pretty noob and lots of thread are already there. I already searched some and can't find the answers I'm seeking so Im gonna make a new thread for it
ok here goes...
I have 4.3 jellybean running on my Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500
I tried an OTA update but it says its on the latest update
Also, I tried connecting it to kies 3 but tells me that
" Your device current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via kies "
(See Attached Photo)
Any other options to update? My phone is not rooted and will never root
I'm pretty noob at flashing but can learn
Also sammobile wont let me register I don't know why but the anti spam image won't show up so do not redirect me towards that site
I appreciate if someone would put a detailed instruction or a link to a thread which I haven't seen yet that will update my s4
Thanks in advance

1. I'd be careful. you are fresh, KIES and OTA is not giving you update => most likely 4.4.2 was not released for your region yet.
2. IF you really want to do the update... go to http://www.sammobile.com register, check the firmware section.
WARNING: before reding, research, review of comments related with 4.4.2 (SD card access problem, wifi and other problems), I'd thin twice before update.

In my possession i have the following firmwares:
...BOC4
...BOD5
and my phone is installed on the ...BOG5 firmware.
I wanted to know out of the above three which firmwares can be rooted, if any? So that i can flash the rootable firmware on my S5 verizon and root the phone.
thanks.

Your question has already been answered in a previous thread you started. Your phone is on BOG5 firmware therefore the only firmware you can flash onto your phone is BOG5. BOC4 and BOD5 can be rooted, but you cannot flash either onto your phone. Your phone cannot be rooted.
Ouch! Frosty are we? Must have been a bad day as usual for you..
Anyway, FYI: I didn't ask that question before, I asked about downgrading ans this is about replacing current 5.0 firmwares with other 5.0 firmwares.
Lighten up man, take it easy with life and you won't be so bitter all the the time.

The problem is this question has been asked many times and the answer will never change. If you are on OG5, you cannot downgrade, you cannot flash backwards, and you cannot root. Period. Sorry, but you can thank Verizon and Samsung for that.
Any likely root to come out in the near future then? For example when this version of firmware gets old and they get another update firmware released.
Not unless someone finds a usable exploit. Possible, but not looking very good.

Do everyone here a favor and search before you post. It is rule#1, and your questions have all been answered countless times. Maybe YOU should give it a rest instead.
I have a g930a with the basband version G930AUCS4APK1 and I have done all OTA updates.
Is it still rootable? Am I on the new bootloader?

go to the root thread, follow the instructions and give it a shot. That's really the best way to find out...just make sure you have the APK1 firmware on standby in case it doesn't turn out well.

Pretty much this. Backup files you don't want to lose, download the stock Odin files, and give rooting a shot. Worst case, you just gotta flash stock back via Odin. You may be able to flash an earlier firmware via Odin and root from there. Though I doubt Odin would let you. If I were you, I'd download all the applicable files, backup my data, wait until I've got a good chink of time ithat I don't need my phone and start playing around with it. I had all sorts of complications rooting mine s{ I was phone-less for like an hour

Any way to extract the firmware from my phone??
Update 12/6/16
I downgraded to the U firmware (G930UUEU4API3) following the steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/g930uueu4api3-firmware-download-t3481159
I then rooted using Max Lee's directions and I have root! Haven't tried rooting directly from APK1 firmware
I successfully rooted my G930AUCS4APK1 using princecomsy how to.

I'm still trying to learn the nomenclature....so, i'm assuming by the PK1 one part of the version that it is new than PI3?
Just wasn't sure about UUE part. Sorry, noob in this dept.
But, wanted to at least share that I had successful root with OP baseband.
Now to figure out how to make the battery last more than 10hrs and respond a little quicker.
The V15 fix hasn't seem to do much in comparison to stock OTA.
Hope this helps.

(for the others that may not know too)
The last three characters of the release are the ones that matter.
* The P indicates the year (P=16th letter of the alphabet, 2016)
* The K indicates the month (K=11th letter of the alphabet, November)
* The 1 represents the release number (to allow for more than one release each month)
Keep in mind that once you flash a newer firmware on the S7, you cannot go back to an older one. Odin will not let you flash it. Even if you could, it would most likely trip the KNOX flag.
Hi everybody,
this is my first post so please forgive any "incorrect habit" might come out of this post.
My situation is the following: I bought a Huawei Nova smartphone about a week ago. It comes with Vodafone brand and the complete build model is CAN-L01C02B130CUSTC02D014.
I read lots of forum posts and blogs over the web and what I learned is that:
- L01 means single sim;
- C02 means that is branded Vodafone;
- B130 is the firmware version;
- CUSTC02D014 is the custom build with the debug version.
I want to debrand my smartphone (without unlocking or rooting it, if possible) so I downloaded FirmwareFinder and, from there, I fetched every firmware compatible with CAN-L01 following to my build model (made on 2016-09-14). Unfortunately, I was not able to install any of those firmwares (very strange).
Given the above-mentioned information, here are my questions:
1 - is it possible to debrand my smartphone without unlocking and rooting?
2 - is it really possible that every firmware made after mine (on 2016-09-14) failed to install?
3 - how can I pick a compatible firmware?
4 - someone wrote that before installing a more recent firmware, one must debrand by downgrading and then (only then) update the firmware itself. Is it true?
Thank you very much,
Valerio
Hi there,
I will move your thread in the correct forum dedicated to Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers for more relevant answers.
Good luck
For your case you have to find a full update.app and to flash it via the tree buttons method

Ok so I need tofind a full update, but I am not able to do it on FirmwareFinder...I guess I have to wait for it a little bit...but (knowing that I have CAN-L01C02 build model) do you think I can install a CAN-L01C432 firmware when it comes out?
Thank you for your help.

I think that is better not to install it using the three button method. If you going to do it, at least have a nandroid backup, assuming you unlocked your bootloader and installed the twrp.
One other way to try, requires a unlocked bootloader too, huawei extract tool and then flash system.img and boot.img at least.
I linked the source, but Idk if it is going to work and requeries courage to do this :/
Edit: sadly, wait for the official upgrad is the most safer thing to do right now

I can tell for sure, but from the changelogs I read, it seems it is a test build or something like that. I could open it with dsixda and will try to flash as soon I unlock the bootloader but I'm waiting to get the code.

Thank you so much for the link! I think it should go flawlessly as long as it is compatible with CAN-L01 (and it actually is). The only thing that stops is that it is a test build...maybe I'll wait the official release too.

It's because you're rooted. Flash the original boot.img from 11.0.9.9 and try updating again.
