[Q] I'm not getting the kitkat update, should I use odin? - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, as the title says, I'm not getting the kitkat neither by ota nor kies. I have the I9395 (international variant) and it's all stock with 4.2.2. If I update through odin it will affect something?
Ps: I don't care de warranty.
Thanks in advance

Just go to sammobile.com, download the firmware you want, and flash it. Assuming you don't have a corrupted download you should be able to flash any of those firmwares using Odin or Kies.

No, because I did not want to flash that rom, I wanted to flash a newer one, so I was wondering if the knox counter would be affected, but it doesn't matter anymore, I already flashed the nk4 and all it's going great till now

Well I did something like that. I flash the newer firmware and I had too many troubles getting my phone back to work. I recommend you to try. In kies for Samsung or you may have to get it to a Samsung dealer.

Hey Doc,
I am still om LR6 and software update shows "no update" I had the same issue last time as well and then I had to use Kies. I usually keep all files related to software update deleted from system as they keep running in background and copy them again to system to check for any update, could this be the reason for no OTA?
And what method do you suggest to update- Kies or odin? I am rooted with stock Kernel and almost all "possible" stock apps removed. I know I will loose root and all apps will be back in both methods
First there is no OTA update still in india after LR6.
And if you have disable software update related app then you won't get it.
I prefer Odin Odin and Odin only.

Since you are on a German ROM, so logically you should get all German updates whether through kies or OTA, but Indian updates are a no go.
You can later flash Indian version of LRQ using odin once available, I am sure Dr.Ketan will upload it same day

[Q] I flashed Jelly Bean firmware from Russia, should I update it via Kies.

Hello I am new here and this is my first post.
I flashed the Jelly Bean update via Odin, its version was I9070XXLPY, now when I connect my phone to my PC and launch Samsung Kies, it tells me that an update is available, a new firmware I9070XXLQ4 is available.
My question is that should I update it via Kies or not, is it safe?

And it might not damage your phone, but why take a risk? So, just clarified it to you
Well, I heard that we would be getting jelly bean by mid april, but still no update so far!
Samsung is just postponing the update I'm also waiting for the update :fingerscrossed:

What version of GB you have? Maybe it is not from India, and that is why you do not have OTA update.
This JB (India I9070DDULP8) is in http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
But I have runnig I9070XXLQE and works like a charm.
Take any you want on sammobile :cyclops: i'ts safe!

[Q] If update official update from different country will baseband change?

Hello guys, i will explain the story in order, sorry for my bad Grammar.
first i have the official GTI9070 but i forgot the baseband (GB)
then i accept software update that appear in notification bar, my baseband become I9070DXLK2 (GB)
and i see there's CM11 out that can make kit kat running in I9070.
but it requires root to install CMW / TWRP..
so hard to find root zip for DXLK2, and then i found one full ROM rooted then flash it with odin.
my baseband still I9070 (GB) but rooted (binary counter++)
after that i flash TWRP with odin too.
then i try flashing CM11 with TWRP.
it success, but no mobile network.
i search at this forum and someone say "no mobile network happen because flashing from GB (2.3.x) directly to KK (4.4.x)"
he said first update from GB to official samsung JB.
the problem, there's no official samsung JB update for my country/region (DXLK2)
my question, if i flash the official samsung JB update from other region.. let say it italy.. will my baseband change?
if it changed, what's the problem and whats the negative impact? what should i do better?
thx in advance.
PS: my device is Samsung Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070 (Indonesian)

You don't have any negative impact if you flash any stock JB firmware, only with your warranty if you still have one.
Please, follow this guide from point A (JELLYBEANIZATION): [GUIDE] From stock GB to Custom JB (Noob-friendly)
After you updgraded to JB, ask/read some tutorials linked here: [{INDEX of GUIDES/TUTORIALS}] Galaxy S Advance [GT-I9070].
Be sure when you proceed to do something OR ASK before, NOT AFTER you doing something wrong.

Or maybe removed. Try on samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com
In Canada, have XXLK2 (Africa?). Want JB, use UK version?
I bought my unlocked I9070 almost 2 years ago and am thinking about upgrading to Android 4.1.2 (JB).
On samsung-updates there appear to be lots of JB versions for different regions.
Can I just select the one for Britain (XXLQE)? Is there anything I need to check re: compatibility?

Yes you can flash any stock firmware for I9070. Be sure you don't flash firmware for I9070P.

Flashing worked...once I found a .zip file

I had a lot of trouble trying to get the samsung-updates.com download to work (used the free one, which either didn't start most of the time or died during download). Eventually, I took the filename (for Britain) and Googled it, and found a download site that let me download it (required 3 hours).
Armed with the .zip file and ODLIN, it worked like a charm. All my installed apps and data survived, which surprised me. I thought this would be a vanilla install.

if you know someone in the states, send it to them and let them do it and send it back
You should just be able to download the firmware and flash through Odin. It will update everything for you. The only problem is it will factory reset your device. So backup everything. Once you update to 5.0 or above, you can not flash back to KitKat. Just unzip the file, open Odin, click ap, find the file, then flash.

Thanks for yours reply.
I don´t know anyone in us.
If I change android rom, Must I change kernel and modem?
To update ROM, the baseband is: G900AAUCU2ANG3, what rom is compatible? Or the baseband doesn´t matter?
Can I install this in my phone and my baseband?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/g900aucs4cpa2-odin-files-em-hot-t3372388
Yes. It's only one file. It takes care of kernel and modem. You don't have to do anything else besides flash the one file.

OP,
You will not be able to update the smg900a as long as you are on a network other than at&t . I have the same model and it came with kit kat .
I used this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...w-to-update-to-g900aoca-5-0-keeproot-t3076803
Please be sure to back up your info . You can use your internal storage if you dont have a SD card to store the two files.
Good luck.
Thanks
I could do with ODIN and this files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/g900aucs4cpa2-odin-files-em-hot-t3372388
My phone works very good.
