Hello, I can't update my 2.3.3 firmware via Kies.
My phone has: I9000XXJVO - baseband version.
What should I do to get 2.3.6 firmware ? thank you
You can only upgrade through kies for your area based on your ROM version.
If you want a newer version you are going to need to either flash a newer stock ROM through Odin or flash something like darky rom/cyanogenmod 7.
Here is a thread with instruction for latest firmwares: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
Remember that you could end up trashing you phone and your warranty by doing this.

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. I have the i9505 and my CSC is BTU. When I check on Sammobile if there is an update, it shows that the latest is XXUFNC4 which is available by Kies. But when I run Kies, it says my phone has the lastest update at XXUFNB8. Any idea why i'm not receiving the new update?
Thanks!
Download stock ROM at Sammobile.com and flash via Odin

NB8 is the latest version for the regular S4. NC4 is for the Black Edition S4

Hi everyone.
I want to receive nougat G935FXXU1DPLT (UK BTU) through OTA, while using marshmallow.
To do that, which previous firmware should be installed, so that when i click software update, it find G935FXXU1DPLT nougat firmware and ask me to update ?
I guess you have to have the UK BTU Firmware.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G935F/BTU/
Yes but which one ?
I tried this with UAE XSG 6.0.1. There is also Nougat already in UAE XSG but when i installed 6.0.1 , after completion setup, i checked "software update".
It said "you already have latest updates". So, same can be happen with UK BTU. That's why i need to find that firmware which detects nougat update in OTA automatically.
Why do you want to OTA update from MM to Nougat?
Just flash the Nougat BTU Odin files.
You probably didn't get the update because your CSC didn't change. What is your CSC?
Nougat BTU CSC is actually OXA which is a multi-CSC. If you have ANY of the existing CSC that are in OXA your CSC will not change
When i just flash Nougat, S-health is not working due to tripping know before (root). That is why i want OTA update from MM to Nougat (I decided to use without root for a time).
Yes Nougat BTU CSC is OXA but, when you select UK list in sammobile, there is no other OXA CSC with MM. Only single Nougat is OXA, the rest are MM and non of them contains CSC OXA.
So, my question continues :/
No solution ?
Which MM firmware you can suggest me to download guys, so that after installation, it can detect Nougat (OTA) ?
I flashed bplb last night with Odin and it now as option to download and update to 7.0 but eff that, I had horrible battery life on 7.0
Hmm, well it is something to try, at least. I will download BPLB and see how it goes.
If it goes to Nougat with OTA, i will observe and notify you about battery life also. Thanks
Download 7.0 Nougat [UK] firmware and flash it. Im using UK version and for now no problems
Battey life is better then 6.0.1 but u need disable few packages with PDP
Hi,
I installed the one on this site and upon first set up, received 2 OTA updates, one of them being Nougat. You might want to give it a try.
this is the one i used and recieved ota nougat G935FXXU1BPLB_G935FBTU1BPK3_BTU
Yes i finally find thanks to you (G935FXXU1BPLB_G935FBTU1BPK3_BTU). I updated to Nougat with OTA.
But, now i am on G935FXXU1DPLT_G935FOXA1DPLT and when i install apps or games in play store, some of them are not appear on my phone.
When i search back in play store, i see that they are already installed and i can open them.
Why i can't see them :/ ? (i am without root)
What do you mean by PDP ?
That's definitely not normal, I would do a factory reset, good luck
I'm on 930u lastest firmware, now i want to downgrade to official firmware to get nougat update,
i'm new user and don't know which firmware i can downgrade, pls help me
thank first
