HI!
I have the samsung s4 i9506 version and heard of its recent lollipop release. Can anyone please suggest if it is safe to update my kitkat? What differences is there apart from the UI? Are there any known bugs? In short, should i update it at all? Any help would be much appreciated! And also, does anyone have any good ports of the s6 for this phone??
Thanks in advance

should work with kies. try the newest version.
Kies does not update Galaxy Fit to 2.3. The phone comes with 2.2 and that's about it. He was referring to a custom rom I believe. It's still soon as the phone was just recently released

There are in a special thread for S7560/S7560M (Trend and Ace II x are the same phone with different names) here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2019146
I've put in a suggestion to make a master thread called Samsung Galaxy Ace (all models incl. Trend) with a subforum for each model since they are different and incompatible as far as firmware, kernel etc. is concerned. There's not much out there yet, the only one that did a JellyBean (unsupported and buggy) and then a KitKat (4.4) firmware stopped since he switched to another model. I've tried the Kitkat but it's simply not finished and will probably never be unless other people take over and give the Ace 2x/Trend a go since it seems they seem to become very common as they are often sold in great bundles around the world.
My thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2605722
There are root-kits that flashes CWM-recovery while unrooting in a kit.
Even if your (and mine) phone is named Samsung Galaxy Trend you'll need to get used to call it a Galaxy Ace II x. This is the name of the rootkit with CWM-recovery: Galaxy_S_Ace_2_X_Root_kit.rar
And there are some ROMs (Australia and Guatemala versions with higher firmware version numbers) that can be flashed on any Trend/Ace II x since they aren't country locked or something like that.

thanks for your reply man but that thread was posted long time ago i already tried cm11 and cm10.2 for this device but now i manged somehow to fully brick this phone i cant enter in recovery or download mode when i try to turn it on the phone just shows the samsung galaxy trend and shuts down itself...dont know what to do i lost my warranty paper and threw away the box so i dont know what to do
Hmm, if vol up & down & home & power doesn't take you into recovery or vol down+power+home doesn't take you into download I'm not sure there's much you can do without leaving it to someone with a full JTAG-rig that can read and backup your system partitions (esp. the EFS partition that store your IMEI etc.) and reflash it with a stock ROM + stock partitions.

hye i want to know how to root ly samsung galaxy trend i realy need help because i want to clean up my phone
Hello.
I have Samsung Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 Verizon.
Android version 4.1.2 with MF1 baseband.
I have rooted my device + have TWRP more than a year ago.
However, I was away for more than year, and I am really lost on how to upgrade my stuffs to 4.4.2.
My OTA upgrade is not working, it just goes back to TWRP screen on reboot and I cannot proceed from there(maybe I don't know what to do).
Can anyone please give me detailed information on how to upgrade my s3 to 4.4.2?
+ How do I check if my bootloader is locked or unlocked?
Thank you so much in advance.

You have to do a factory reset in order to upgrade to 4.4.2, on 4.4.2 it's a locked bootloader with no custom recovery FYI

Sorry to step into your thread, but factory reset then take OTA Shapes? That's it?? That's too easy. Don't have to Odin or anything?? Thanks

Yes, with a caveat. You cannot flash a custom recovery if your S3 has the official 4.3 or 4.4.2 OTA installed. Do you know which software is installed on your S3?

No custom recovery can be installed on your S3 at all. From your phone, use Towelroot to gain root access then install Safestrap as a workaround the locked bootloader. You can then only use VRUCML1 4.3 based TouchWiz roms, just look for "VRUCLM1" or "ML1" in the title of the rom you are looking at. All pertinent info can be found in this handy guide for you.
Ok I am doing allot of reading and want to ask..my phone says baseband version (unknown) and com.phone has stopped so im wondering how can I get it back

You need to post more information than that. Show screenshots and tell us exactly what you tried to install to your phone prior to this circumstance.

Hey guys I know that this question has been asked many times and i know that there are many tutorial that show you how to return your verizon galaxy s3 back to stock rom.
My verizon S3 is running 4.3 and it has the locked bootloader but i want to be able to flash the kitkat update using Odin however every tutorial i look at and every link i follow is not working when i try and download the stock firmware.
Can someone here help point me into the right direction and possibly provide me with a link to the official samsung (verizon) firmware for model SCH-i535. If you can provide a good tutorial that would be great as well!

Have you tried just taking the OTA update? As long as your not rooted and didn't make any changes internally you should be able to take the OTA

Alright. Here's the thread, be advised the bootloader will be even more locked down. With TW 4.3 there is more options for roms. With the 4.4 update your stuck with 3 options
