Hello i bought a couple of day ago a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 from France.
I'm from Greece so i thought it would be good to install the greek firmware...
Now i try to restore to the french firmware but with no luck. Neither Kies nor odin works...
With kies i tried Factory restore and initialiazation but it didn't work.
And odin keeps giving me an "AUTH error".
But everytime odin soft bricks my phone(trying to install the french version), it installs the greek like a charm.
Could anyone please help me?
PS: 1) French firmware (I9505XXUBMGA_I9505OXXBMG3_I9505XXUBMGA_HOME.tar)
2) Greek Firmware (I9505XXUDMH6_I9505OXXDMH4_I9505XXUDMH6_HOME.tar)
3) my phone is factory unlocked

The Greek firmware is newer than the french and you cant flash back to older firmware on the S4 only to newer.
Btw why do you want to go back to the french? Im asking because i have the German one and was thinking of flashing the Greek. Is the Greek not working well?
you cannot downgrade as mga firmware is knox free and mh6 firmware contains knox you need to flash a newer french firmware .

So i have to wait until 4.3 to flash to french firmware?
Isn't there any way to downgrade?
i actually read someplace that any firmware starting with mgg or newer could be flashed over a knox firmware . so you could flash a french firmware ending with mgg or mh1 or mh5 . an mh8 will work for sure.

Hi everyone,
first of all i hope it`s not a double thread, I could not find any BTU discussion of 4.3.
I`m getting really lost in this OTA / Kies compatibility over here..
My S4 was rooted now I`m trying to restore it to official state to make it OTA update compatible again.
The phone was bought in UK, GSM phone.
There was a matching firmware, which should be compatible for updates here, but i keep getting the same "Your firmware is not supported..." error message again and again.
Details:
AP: I9505XXUEMJ7
CP: I9505XXUEMJ7
CSC: I9505BTUEMJ8
Current binary: Samsung Official
System status: Official
Later on 2nd try:
AP: I9505XXUEMJ7
CP: I9505XXUEMJ8
CSC: I9505BTUEMJ8
Current binary: Samsung Official
System status: Official
So far after trying to help my problem with Google all I got, that I9505XXUEMJ7+I9505XXUEMJ7+I9505BTUEMJ8 is the latest official state and BTU is for the UK.
If someone could explain what is wrong here, I would be very happy.
Thanks.
Thread says the same, that I`m using the correct version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
Is my question so stupid or is it an unique problem that I have so no one will reply?
Maybe I'm missing something here but have you reverted to stock, stock recovery and Triangle Away first. You cannot receive OTA updates or Kies if your device is rooted or has a custom recovery etc...
Yes, Triangle away done, stock rom, stock recovery.
Cool, is BTU the correct firmware for you? Are you on a different carrier there? Can you flash the stock ROM you want through ODIN? (gotta run for lunch but I'm sure someone better than I will help)
restock
put phone into download mode
open kies select firmware upgrade initialisation
enter model number and serial number in capitals
make sure both are correct you can find it on the box or under the battery.
Thanks everyone, I`m gonna do it all over again this evening. BTU is correct for me, its unbranded gsm unlocked phone from UK.
Edit: Boring day in job here.. redone the whole thing and it works now.
Thank you everyone, again.

Yes , in Persian forums , they said you should install same base code , for example you can install firmwares with same XXU or XCU and you can't flash XCU on XXU or other same situations . it may be cause of Knox or other security reasons or ... on new Galaxy devices
because there isn't new middle east firmware of my device base code , i can't try and don't know if it works or not

Hi. Yes our device are made in Vietnam , but regional Codes are different because of regional languages and some other regional settings.
it has (G530HXXU1ANL4) firmware installed and i want to upgrade to ( G530HXCU1AOA2) or newer one for our regional (middle east) , but base code in here installed firmware is (XXU) and (XCU) of new firmware (look at G530HXXU1ANL4 and also G530HXCU1AOA2) . we can't install XCU on XXU firmware of device and we see fail notification in Odin at start of flashing . but these are for middle east and Persian support firmware and i don't know for other regional , for example we can use some other regional but there isn't our language in that regional firmware , So we have to wait for releasing new firmware for our regional base code
good luck

which rom now you using
i have model number g530a ud or ez works can u find 4.4.4 or firmware or way to by pass it
It just happened to me, when upgrade over the air and it different on PDA/Baseband , such G350HXCUxxxx then your country G350HXXUxxx, it will be failed and guest what : you're still on last firmware (4.4.4) but your wifi become doesn't work!
So I tried re-flash by odin, and still failed!
The soulution is look at about phone > baseband (PDA), then find one a simillar PDA here : http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G530H/
If your baseband is G350HXCUxxx, you have to download G350HXCUxxx too (no matter what it's from another country/carrier).
Then flash your new firmware by odin. Done! You're on Android 5.0.2 Lollipop!
unable to flash 5.0.2 stock ROM
phone is network locked, the only custom Rom that works via recovery mode installation is MIUI. All other 5.0.2 custom rom's installed via recovery fails to boot.
Odin fails to flash 5.0.2 stock ROM, it fails while writing at the very beginning itself
is this normal?
do i need to update kernel and recovery to be able to flash 5.0.2
smartswitch does not detect 5.0.2 upgrade though it is available offline for download (sammobile)
need to find if there is a software method for network lock removal
Update: was able to flash 5.0.2 stock ROM via ODIN but it worked only for a specific region (SKZ) firmware, still there is an issue of not being able to install custom ROM's will give it a try again
Buenas, compre un Samsung Grand Prime (G530H/DS), con error de encriptado pensando que podia repararlo con un recovery o con odin, pero nada!, he descargado ya como 5 firmware y odin siempre me da "fail", dice error del PIT, e utilizado KIES y hasta intente RSD Lite; tampoco entra en recovery para hacer wipe, por ningun lado de lo que he probado me funciona, que puedo hacer?? Aqui le dejo uno de los intentos y lo que parece ...

Hi,
For a couple of days my Galaxy S5 XEF SM-G900F tells me there's and update for the firmware. As my phone was rooted no FOTA were possible so I uninstalled the root. Still no way tu update from OTA.
I tried Kies, but it always stop at 19% (tried on 2 different computers). So ok, back to the only one method that always works : ODIN BUT
Kies tells me that the available version is DA: OC7/CSC: OC2/PHONE: OC7
On sammobile, the only one firmware that has a csc: OC2 is the one for a specific carrier (Bouygues) . Which one should I download and flash to be up to date please ?
Thanks in advance for your help
