I finally coudl do it. You have to extract the image file with simg2img (linux). Once you got the raw file created by simg2img you could mount it.

I haven't tested it myself but a user on Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root thread says it is not working.

I haven't tested it but it should work. A lot of users have succeeded in rooting their Qualcomm-based Galaxy S4s using Motochopper.

Separate modem and kernel packages from I9505XXUAMDM firmware are availlable for download in 3rd & 4th post.

This post was reported as a duplicate, we already have one "official stock firmware" thread for this model. Second one is not needed.

Official Android 4.3 is online!

Hi Faryaab,
Do you have any news in the I9500 version?

Samsung doesn't provide a change log list so you will have to flash it to find out. It does have a much higher change log then MF8 so it's the latest and greatest.

Anyone tested it? I just flashed MF8 and there is MG1:crying:

Added it to the Original Post!

And what exactly means the number after "Changelist"? the number of changes/a code to a list/ what ?

I dont understand you guys...
We are all looking for improvements. And if Samsung publishes updates, we start whining that they do too much?
Besides that: 20 minutes after opening this thread, somebody is already asking: "...and and and??? any improvements?" I guess it takes more than 20 minutes to download it, so dont think about a report.
Afaik, no matter what firmware version we have installed: the phone is at least in a "usable" state which allows us to wait 1 or 2 days for validation of fixes in a new firmware.
Cool down, guys

Yeah, hotfile sucks like that. Patience is a virtue unless your a crack flasher like I am

lets have a check list instead of flooding the thread with any improvements question
Check list
1. Has new camera firmware?
2. Any new applications?
3. How is the overall memory management?
4. How is the overall smoothness?
5. Any noticeable bugs?
Lets make this as a template and post feedback accordingly, it will simply save time for most people.

but this the same as faryabb's release and hy said its a leak firmware !!

the leaked firmware was final not test, already saw some comments about that yesterday

I am getting bootloop... and in recovery mode it says cant mount efs, but I don't get bootloop or efs error in previous fw's...

Samsung is not providing test firmware trough KIES. This is official, latest firmware published to KIES servers today. If your phone is in SER region you can simply connect it to PC and run KIES and update.
I don't post leaks.
Enjoy!

sorry for the noob question, but once installed this ROM how I do root? and how to recover the CWM recovery?
thanks...

thats a copy paste typo from sammobile, 9500 wont have full opengl 3 support, just tested the same with antutu opengl 3 graphics test, the result is"device dosent support opengl 3"
btw , both the firmwares (the one mentioned here and the one released by faryaab/sammobile) yesterday are same , both are offical roms only
