Jelly Bean wasn't OFFICIALLY released for i9070 So it is first official news about it.
Actually it has to be a complete fixed international update date.

OMG.. so this firmware we've been using for about a month is a "leaked" firmware? And developers on XDA are making custom roms using this firmware..??

P.S. To me this JB is perfectly fine now. But lets hope Sammy will make it as he should.
And one more think, it has been released to Russia. And heve you seen any russian here on xda in our forum that has phone?

Leaked it or not...anyway it was rolled out by samsung without any notifications and supported by kies for future fixes. Even Russian off. web doesn't mention about it in a support tab. It is a test stage. OS debugging on device per country is more comfortable, than receive international bug reports with similar contents and filtrate it (by language for ex.) in fixing process. Russia has the worst mobile network coverage in country zone so I think it is the main and best reason to debug device in these conditions. (A lot of russian users are complained about network problems on Galaxy S Advance).

Could you tell which ROM uses? and Kernel ...
I'm about to downgrade and would like to try one last time.
You could share as experienced user.
I would also like to say that the JB STOCK ROM that Samsung has presented is at least good.
For now the word is frustrating. You use begins to like and suddenly something strange happens.

What a surprise, I9070P not in the list!

This may be a really noob/stupid question, but flashing another kernel increases binary counter right?

No, only flashing custom roms or rooting your phone (not all methods) will increase the binary counter.

This is not completly true. Only flashing custom kernel with Odin will increase binary counter. And maybe custom firmware, but one root method use firmware with su file integrated, and it do not increase bc. So for us now, only flashing custom kernel with odin increase it. And there is no Odin flashable kernel files for JB now on xda. And ecerything you install without Odin will not increase bc.

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

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.

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.

[Finally] Downgrade to 4.3

Now you can downgrade 4.4.2 kitkat to 4.3 jelly bean
You must have
1)an official stock 4.3
2)mobile odin
3)pc odin(computer odin)
4)This kernel (http://goo.gl/8MGXnQ)
5)custom recovery
6)rooted 4.4.2
Instructions:-
1)copy the stock 4.3 to sd card
2)flash it using mobile odin and make sure that all boxes are checked
3)flash custom recovery via pc odin
4)flash the kernel via custom recovery
Enjoy 4.3
Tested on my Gt-i9505
Notes:-
1)if you didn't flash the kernel you won't be able to use wifi
2)make sure to backup EFS and IMEI using EFS PRO (https://www.mediafire.com/?4smom74xg5tfkxu)
I wish i could helped many people to get rid of 4.4.2 kitkat

Thank you for posting this... won't do me any good as I'm not rooted...and need to downgrade to saferoot. But what is known about the custom kernel...I was under the impression using stuff for s4 variants that are not yours is dangerous. Im using the sprint version.
Regardless, I'm giving you a "thanks" for posting this as its a step in the right direction.

i don't know but i think 90% that will be successful downgrade cause odin mobile it's a general app and not a specific app

Has anyone tried is as follows
Flash MDM or MDF firmware that can receive OTA update and thereby update the phone
These two still receive firmware 4.2.2 OTA updates
Does not get downgrade with this way

I just tested to downgrade with no luck! Only comes to the first galaxy logo then bootloop? Can someone help me? Thx

Will this work for downgrading to 4.2.2 with KT JB4.2 kernel?

Why would you guys want to downgrade to 4.3?

I can't imagine why anyone would want to downgrade back to 4.3. 4.4 was a huge breath of fresh air for me. Everything works smoother, looks better, better battery. What more so you want. Only thing I miss is the jelly bean game, I hate the kit kat game now. It seems like 4.4 is a lot llighter OS then 4.3. Less parasitic loss on my phone I guess you can say.

I main reason I would want to downgrade to 4.2.2 (XXUDMH8) if I ever end up with KitKat or 4.3 is so JKay Deluxe will work. It appears JKay has completely abandoned development.

thanks

I see. Still, I heard there are problems concerning the new FW about the tablet being unrooted if you flash KK on it and the samsung logo not appearing in the booting screen. Is there any way for the root to stay? I already know that there are a few bug issues in the software like the fast battery drain and I can handle that but the root though...I don't really want my device being bricked or whatever. I'm still a newbie about this so I wanted to find more information if possible before doing anything first.

I know it's official and everthing but that's not what I'm worried about. My tablet's already rooted with a custom rom and a blackhawk kernel in it. I read from the other posts that you'd be stuck in the booting screen if you flash the KK due to the logo missing and that you'll lose the root and will never be rooted again due to KK leaving a signature on the build or something. I'm not exactly sure what steps to take to prevent it though and I wanted to flash KK so bad. I just want to know if anyone knows how to flash KK in my already rooted tablet without encountering those two issues I just stated above.
Anyone?

You can always get root access again either by pre-rooting the firmware or by a custom recovery image in several different ways.

I don't think I can do the pre-rooting one. My computer doesn't run in Linux and I'm currently out of the country (and probably will be for months) to do anything about it.
Can you please tell me how to do it using custom recovery? You mentioned that there are different ways to do it?

I had that problem too, along with lots of lag. The reason is because you have the Noble kernel. Flash SkyHigh instead as the Noble kernel is very buggy.
