S4 i9505 UK Sim free now getting OTA - Galaxy S 4 General

This is the big update at 347mb that Samsung has pushed out to other S4s. Now its arrived officially on UK sim free, once complete I will add ROM details, this is BTU.
I had to create new thread as UK thread closed, as sticky for firmware discussion also closed.
This is the only way to advise people. Note for moderators , thanks.

mine just says the max numbr of rollouts has been reached and to try later or use kies. but if i use kies (like i had to last time this happened), it just says that i already have the latest firmware. it's been like this for the last 3 days so i'm not sure that there actually is a new update.

It's firmware i9505xxubmga.

oh, then that's what's been on kies for weeks now. wonder why my handset is now showing the max rollouts reached rather than telling me im already up to date though. weird.

Is this definitely mga? My handset is on mga for last few weeks (btu) and I am also getting max rollouts reached rather than the usual your handset is up to date message I had been receiving

But there is nothing showing on samsung-updates or sammobile! Guess we just have to wait to see if a new update is confirmed by someone

It's definitely mga.

That's the reason why I checked this thread I have the same problem. I got a bit excited, hoping a new version with stability fixes and improvements is on its way.

Nothing showing on Kies neither, must be a problem with Samung's ota server's

When I check for updates I'm now being told something about "maximum rollouts" too, usually it just says latest version installed? I've had XXUBMGA for 2 weeks though.

Just to clarify this is not a network unlocked UK S4, but a totally sim free, unbranded, like one you would buy from Amazon.

It's the same PDA but definitely new. I got the update OTA, and it only changed the CSC to MH1. PDA is still MGA, here are the before and after screenshots. The different fonts is my doing rather than the firmware

Saw no post anywhere and its E1 but it's one day newer than E2
With new firmware, beweent change log number and build date, which one is more acxurate to indicate that is a newer firmware? Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2
Not sure why everyone talks about build date.
The changelog is going to be your one guarantee that a firmware is in anyway different or identical to the one you already have
Quite often build dates might be different because of scheduling of the coding etc

Thanks for this. As a new comer to the Android world and having just got my S4, I note this is the firmware on my phone (online import to Australia). However, could you confirm for me:
this is a link to the Stock ROM should I need to return the original OS,
that despite this, I can still follow published methods for rooting my phone (eg "Root the Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean using Motochopper tool",
there is no problem with me moving to a British based Custom ROM such as described here "Update Galaxy S4 I9505 to official XXUAMDM Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean Firmware", and finally
Does the region software is designed for (eg Hong Kong vs Europe) have an impact on the phone's functionality and hardware abilities?
Many thanks
Gotta keep a eye on SamMobile as they are faster with Firmwares

I wish somebody would have mirrored.. HotFile sucks
Yep
Really don't understand why they keep uploading them on hotfile, when there are far better alternatives.. or why not they could even make a torrent for the most desired builds.
Anyway.. thanks!
Now just have to wait 2 hours for this to dw despite having a 100mbps connection.

All stock can be upgraded without wipe etc. Just use newest rom with odin
Region dont have any difference as long as rom is for your model. Dont try to flash rom for other model. You can eg flash brazilian firmware made for 9505 to simfree uk phone etc.

From my understanding OTA updates are way down the pecking order. Samsung have said all region releases will be done via Kies first

A little bit annoying as we in the UK were the one of the first in the queue when the Note 3 was launched so you would have thought Sammy would give us a bit more of a priority For the record many here had their Note 3s in 24th September 2013.

Why do people get so excited over updates? especially firmwares!!! not gonna see much guys
now if only an update would come so all users can install watch styler from Samsung apps , it would be a perfect world.

Downloading the S7 Edge Android 7 Nougat Beta Right Now (HOW TO)

I am currently downloading the Nougat Beta Update for my S7 Edge and wanted to let others know how to do it.
1. I registered through the Samsung Beta programs a few days ago from the Samsung App Store
2. I did a manual check for updates through the About section in the settings.
Downloading update as we speak.

You need to go to the Samsung App Store ans search for Beta and register.
There is no link because it is done through the over the air section under about/manual update in your phone settings menu.

Actually you got it via OTA and mine was leaked version so might be a little difference could be I there. And also I wouldn't be getting the next update via OTA cause it wasn't from samsung source. On the other hand somehow after flashing the Nougat my sim card got killed. I don't know how. then I replaced the sim & now I'm afraid to loose my knox warranty tripped. also faced some minor bugs- like a notification never closing from the status bar and some more. that's why I came back to MM. by the way I'm not from UK neither from BTU csc. I'm actually XSG csc. Bangladesh.

Samsung S7 (Edge) Nougat flashed with ODIN - no OTA Beta Update?

I have flashed the Beta of Nougat for Samsung S7 (Edge) via Odin. It was the leaked Nougat Beta. In the last days there was a small OTA Update for this Beta (only fixed some Facebook App crashes).
I have not gotten this OTA Update
I am wondering if others have received this OTA update (and match the things below) ?
- NOT part of the official Samsung Beta program
- flashed via Odin

You won't get the OTA if not in beta program I was running it on S7 fb closed once then worked fine for me . You will need to wait for some one to upload new beta build or do what I did return to mm and wait [emoji13]
Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
Damn. :silly: I kind of hoped for OTA since it is an official Beta Build. I don't want to go back to MM since N is so much nicer :crying:
(I do not really care for the FB Bug, but rather just getting updates via OTA so this was a good Test to see if OTA Updates are coming through)
Yr same" I found battery life not as good as on mm and camera grainy still work to be done but yes looks good I may re flash if new build up loaded
Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
I read somewhere that a new bigger beta update with new features is being prepared. Let's hope we can grab that one somewhere.
Would be nice
Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
I just hope that whatever build comes next can be installed (with ODIN) without having to setup the whole device again. With this first beta I had to do a clean install since all my data was wiped. Oh well only time will tell now. :cyclops:
First time I flashed I only selected AP file in odin it did not wipe just updated but kept getting ims error pop up was not usable didn't realise had to flash all 4 files . Not had a Samsung in long time forgot how to use odin lol

Don't think so you have to flash all files regardless of what region file using

Mine is a german (unlocked) S7 Edge and I flashed all four files. Just be aware when you do flash all four files you WILL have all data wiped and must do a clean install.

Yeah the beta program was never available in Germany. So I was not able to register for the Beta program and had to flash it manually.
