[Q] Upgrading S4 Active I9295 to 4.4 Kitkat

First of all, hi.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 Active I9295 with android 4.2.2 and I've seen on internet that 4.4 is out, but not for all devices.
I didn't received any notification through wi-fi, i checked for updates even using kies but no result.
I just want to ask.. can I update using another 4.4 version ? (from nordic countries or germany or etc).. without carrier-locking my phone ?
Do you recommend me any official 4.4. rom that would be compatible with my phone ?
And, not at least, are there any improvements in battery on Kit Kat ? (that's the reason I want to update, my battery sucks).
Right now I have baseband I9295XXUBML3; VERSION NUMBER JDQ39.I9295XXUBML3, KERNEL VERSION [email protected] #1.
Please answer as soon as possible.
Thans !

nobody ? >.>

Same situation here... same specs.

It is safe to flash any other i9295 firmware. When the firmware for your country is released you can just reflash.

I'm still not sure.. are there any reasons to take the risk ?
I've seen a lot of people complaining about wi-fi and having to flash modem separately.. and so on.
So, it is 100% safe ? and are there any improvements which deserve the risk ?i

Hi,
i got this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2764500
works like a charm, for me.

I'm still on 4.2.2 as well as there has been no official update for me yet. Yay for Eastern Europe.
From what I've heard 4.4 should handle the battery a little better and microSD cards a lot worse. Apparendly Android 5 (Lollipop?) will fix the SD card trouble, look a lot more like Ubuntu Touch (rumoured Q4 2013 :silly: ) and will only take a few months until it is out (rumoured Q4 2014). So you can flash twice or wait and flash once. It depends on how you use your phone, though I doubt S4A will be getting Android 5 as an official Samsung update.
The flashing guides are good enough to minimize the risk either way.

Official OTA came for this firmware.. Kies didn't find any update btw.
I'll come with an edit or something else after it finishes.
// So far so good.
Everything works like a charm, battery looks promising, can't tell until a full charge.
Love white battery indicator.
Not big modifications btw, i'd have loved if they put S5 UI...

i have a device with basically the exact kernel, baseband version and build number, but i have no OTA update, and kies don't find any update, any idea why ?
baseband > I9295XXUBML3
kernel > 3.4.0-2015525 [email protected]#1
build > JDQ39.I9295XXUBML3

if i flash it with any other i9295 firmware, will my phone be carrier-locked or something?

No. The firmwares ate optimized for specific regions, but they do not lock you in to a carrier. The major difference between the different versions will be the modems and the APN settings, so you may find that you get better signal with one version as opposed to another.
Hopefully somebody else can chime in and share their experience.

I want to download an update i saw on the sam mobile website.
So i can download and install any official firmware for i9295 on my phone, regardless the baseband, version number, etc? Right?!
My current carrier will still be working right?

Umm if what you're saying is you that you have not been able to update to kitkat via OTA or with Samsung Kies and you want to update with Odin, then uninstall Kies and then follow the instructions in this thread. The files in this thread are the latest official kitkat release...after you flash them with odin you will be on stock NC2 and any future OTA updates should work properly if you stay on stock.
If not, try rewording your question...

ok
Download Odin here
Download NC2 (kit kat) file here
Open Odin, click on "AP", select the _HOME.tar.md5 file that just downloaded
When your phone reboots and Odin says "PASS!" the upgrade to official kit kat was successful.
Better instructions with screenshots of how to upgrade to kit kat are in this thread
Don't forget to thank @carl1961 for the install guide and @BlackRam1500 for the official kitkat files

No that is not a problem. Upgrading to kit kat this way will safely overwrite your baseband current baseband to NC2.

Yes after you use this procedure you will be receive ota updates

You will only receive OTA updates if you are using AT&T's service.

Before making the upgrade, it is necessary to make copies of efes?

I am not using the service of AT&T, I am with a company of another country

You will have to use ODIN (when the files are made available) to update from here on out.

I mean, after the update on via ODIN OTA, i do not want to be updates?

You will only be able to manually update with ODIN since you are not on AT&T. So you can choose to not update.
OTA means over the air. It comes from the provider.

Please verify the source of the image file
Can you verify where you got the file N900AUCUCNC2_N900AATTCNC2_N900AUCUCNC2_HOME.tar.md5
This worked for upgrading my N900A Note III, but my concern is the source of the tar.md5 file.
The sammobile site only lists the follow for my phone which actually fails through odin (note failed when it was starting out on 4.3)

I've been searching the depths of the internet, and your post was the first post that actually got me moving in to 4.4.2. So thanks for taking the time to post. Any validation/verification you can provide as to your source would be awesome
Thanks!

There have been 3 official firmware releases since MI9 - MJ5, NB4, and the latest NC2...sammobile is clearly not up to date
The NC2 files have been used and verified by several devs let alone used by tons of us regular folks with 0 problems...the original post with the NC2 files is here have a read through the thread I think it will put your mind at ease. I think @Walter.White created the HOME file from the stock files which is more reason not to be concerned

through kies and ota update does not leave me for kit kat

hello friends tell them that I have a note 3 version n900A at & t released, but I still have the rom 4.3 and I want to update via ota I get that I have the latest version as well as via kiees, the only thing left is updated using odin but the problem is that nowhere encutro official rom kat kit and where can I get another question is if I update the version's release will come out? from already thank you very much

[Q] Need to Upgrade from KitKat 4.4.4 rooted to Lollipop 5.0.1

Im trying to upgrade my Note 4 N910T to Lollipop 5.0.1. I've been looking around and haven't found a straight answer. Don't really care if I lose root. I just want the Upgrade. CAN SOMEONE HELP?

And I'm guessing you don't have access to Odin/PC or Mac? Then the only way is for someone to upload a Twrp backup of a lollipop stock based rom. That might work.

U need odin till someone makes a zip to update all. Baseband boot and rom. That would be a huge risk. Get to a pc and use odin.

Here is a link which has the full instructions/guide/step by step for upgrading to
the new official Lollipop firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...sy-steps-stock-odin-n910tuvu1anih-cf-t2903733
Here are the three tools (files) you will need to upgrade to lollipop:

The actual lollipop firmware can be downloaded from
http://Sammobile.com
Look for the "Tmobile N910T" Lollipop firmware on SamMobile...
Check it out.
Good luck!

I will have my note 4 on lolipop kernel and firmware?
I am currently on rooted kitkat with dynamic kat rom.
Thank you.

No, that is just the Kernel, You need to flash the entire Firmware. Remember this is an entirely different OS.

Check out pop rocks forum in development. Has stock rom and auto root with how to.

This is SM-9005 or SM-900A?

Hi.
I have a problem to identify my phone.
I was bought it few days ago, and I don't know what model it's it.
Screenshots below.
Under battery it's says that this is a SM-9005 model, but under back cover it's says that this is a SM-900A model. In download mode it's a SM-900A model.

It is a SM-N900A.. Not sure why it would say N9005 under the battery tho.. The NC2 Bootloader belongs to At&t.. You are aware that your phone has a custom Rom on it right? The Rom on your phone has is one from the International Note 3.. You can easily revert it back to stock AT&T firmware .. Seeing you have the NC2 Bootloader you can not put any Firmware below Kitkat 4.4.2 witch I believe is what is on your phone right now.. You can also upgrade to 4.4.4 Kitkat or Lollipop 5.0.. At&t Note 3 has a locked Bootloader so be careful not to flash any Rom that is not TouchWiz base or custom Kernels, Meaning true AOSP roms like CM, Slim, Paranoid Android, Pacman an so on will not work an will more than likely harm your phone.. Hope this helps..

I want the international wersion. I don't like this 4g icon. Can I easy change it? Maybe it's a custom stock rom from N9005 without at&t apps and other bloatware? I really like stock touchwiz here but it's so many apps that I will don't use it never...what can I do now? Thanks for reply

Yes you can install another international as long as it is TouchWiz. So let's find out what kinda Rom you are looking for? Do you want to stay with Kitkat Roms or are you looking to upgrade to Lollipop? And another question, Are you familiar with Safestrap recovery? After you let me know I will get you links to a great Rom an easy to follow instructions for installation..

I'm having the same thing too. I got the device in the UK but it's an AT&T model.
I've got Safestrap on my device already and is looking to install Lollipop on it. How do you suggest I do that? I really like Knox security from Samsung but it is a pain to install ROM now. And I want to install a stock Lollipop on it if possible.
Thanks in advanced.

You are a life saver. I also have the same issue as mlekopan16. I bought my device in UAE online. Reading your post I am assuming my device is also 900A. I am also attaching screenshots from my device. Request you to have a look. I was able to install safestrap on my device and it is working fine now. I want to use custom lollipop roms on my device but dont know what does a locked bootloader mean. My question is can I install custom lollipop rom and can I still use it with any other network or it can only be used with AT&T? Please advice.

note 3 upgrade n9005 which is actually n900A

hello
i am having the same problem how do I upgrade my 4.2.2 kitkat phone which shows n9005 in android and n900a in download mode to 5.0 lollipop. i wish to do an update without locking the carrier

If the phone in download says it is an n900a, it is a AT&T Note 3 sm-n900a with a locked bootloader.
You will need to look here to upgrade to 5.0:https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703006
