Unable to detect new OTA updates

Hi guys,
For some strange reason my phone is unable to detect new OTA updates. I'm running I9505XXUGNF1 per the screenshot below and when I try and run an update to I9505XXUGNG2 I get a message saying "The latest updates have already been installed" even though NG2 is available via the OTA server.
Can someone help me please?
In order to upgrade I need to download the 2gb ROM file and install using Odin which is a pain when you're travelling!
Is it something to do with DBT? Is there some way of changing my phone into a DBT phone?

Does someone know how I can change my CSC? I've seen a few guides but they require root and an earlier ROM version which I can't go back to...

Dial *#1234# and attach what appears. You have wrong CSC for sure.
CSC is the country code of ur phone.
- Conect it to Kies 3 for know ur CSC. (pic attached)
- Download the correct firmware for ur device and flash it through ODIN.

I've flashed through ODIN a number of times but my CSC doesn't change... How can I force a CSC change?

OK, so I re-downloaded the following file:
DBT-I9505XXUGNF1-20140619102758.zip
and followed the instructions from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43553707&postcount=14
Make sure you take a backup via Kies if you need personal files
Download the respective stock ROMS from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com or see thread on Stock Roms on XDA
Extract zip to get tar.md5
Put device into download mode (Vol down+ Home + Power) and Flash using Odin (PDA option)
Wait till device reboots back into Android after completing the flash and recovery
Once device reboots, do a Factory Reset via Settings > Accounts
Once device reboots after Factory Reset/recovery, enter the google account info and restore settings and then turn off the device
Boot device back into download mode (Vol down+ Home + Power)
Re-flash the same downloaded firmware for a second time via Odin
Once the device reboots after the 2nd flash, your CSC should have changed to the CSC of the ROM you downloaded, and Kies also should show that CSC has changed and it should allow future updates via Kies or OTA
And my CSC still says OXA which I think is "open europe" (same as before) and OTA updates are still not available.
Can someone with knowledge of this please help?

Can get S5 SM-G900T out of soft brick mode.

Hello, I have a Tmobile Samsung S5 and I am able to get into Download Mode and I have used Odin v3.09 to try to and flash Odin Flashable Full Stock from the oldest version to the latest and everytime it just boots to the Samsung S5 logo screen with the words Recovery Booting on the top upper left of the phone. The phone is also unable to get into Recovery. I tried flashing other recovers such as TWRP via Odin but I get an error stating "recovery is not seandroid enforcing"
I am beating my head up against the wall here trying to get it to boot up.
Title was meant to say CAN'T

You might not be able to get into recovery mode but when you're soft bricked you can get into download mode.
Press the key combination to get into Download Mode and keep holding them until your phone gets to the Download Mode screen.
You'll then have to redo it and if it still doesn't work then you're probably flashing a bad firmware.
Your phone may reboot a few times during this process, as it's happened to me before and I just ended up holding until about 3 or 4 reboots.

I did flash in odin in download mode using the correct firmware. I also used kies to no avail.

Make sure it's definitely the right firmware, and try using a different version of Odin perhaps?

I used Odin Version 3.07 and 3.09 to flash the following firmware files, odin finishes with a green PASS!
It is a Tmobile S5 sm-g900t
G900TUVU1CNK2_G900TTMB1CNK2_G900TUVU1CNK2_HOME.tar.md5
Everytime its done flashing it goes to a screen that says on the top Left in blue text "recovery rebooting......." and it just sits there.

[Q] Galaxy Grand 2 Duos G-7102 doesn't want to boot "Could not do normal boot", HELP!

[Q] Galaxy Grand 2 Duos G-7102 doesn't want to boot "Could not do normal boot", HELP!
Hi , i'm new in this forum, and i hope you guys could help me on getting out of this problem:
I have a Galaxy Grand 2 Duos, and i cannot boot it anymore. When i turn it on, it appears the boot logo for like 4 seconds and suddenly it turns in ODIN Mode with an error saying : "Could not do normal Boot": !
here is it a screenshot:

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The problem occured when i tried for the 4 times to flash a Stock Rom, (and they didnt work as well, it stucks in a bootloop), and then i tried to flash a custom one. Now even if i flash a Stock ROM the problem stucks, and i cannot turn it to Recovery mode also!
I tried to flash a CWM/ TWRP, but Nothing at all. I also tried a Stock recovery, and it seems like they dont pass at all to the phone, because , although the green "pass" that i get in ODIN 3.09, the download process seemed going too fast for a normal recovery.img flash!
Thank you, and help me i'm going mad with this phone!

Nothing, i tried it and Now it stucks on Recovery Booting screen,
I'm beggining to think it's a wrong recovery.imgh..
is there a program that downloads you the stock ROM suitible for my device, automatically? (maybe i did the wrong choice of firmware)

I think the bootloade is the problem

Flash stock firmware in odin options select phone bootloader update

With AP you need to flash .tar or .tar.md5 files
Same procedure to root as long as your root method hasn't been noted as being outdated
