Before we proceed, make sure:
1-You have installed your Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500/5 USB drivers on your PC (the easiest way is to install Kies).
2-You need to enable USB debugging mode which is deactivated by default. (you can skip it )
3-Your S4 should have 70-80% charge remaining.
4-Your S4 should be factory unlocked. (for locked phone, flash carrier firmware to stay on warranty)
5-Backup your important data like Call logs, SMS and other data stored in phone memory in case if anything goes wrong, your data is not hurt. (For backuping apps and their data and internal sdcard via ADB, see here.)
6-Make sure that kies program is not running & disable antivirus.
This guide is only for Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 & GT-I9505. So don’t bother to try it on other devices.
How to do it:
Step 1) Turn OFF your mobile and go to Download Mode by pressing and holding the Volume Down + Home Buttons together for few seconds followed by Power button then proceed with volume up.
Step 2) Now open ODIN on your PC and connect your Galaxy S4 to your computer.
Step 3) Once your phone is successfully connected to your PC, the ID:COM box on ODIN will turn blue (or yellow) and will show the COM port number.
Step 4) unzip the downloaded firmware, u will get a tar file.
Step 5) click on pda in odin (if odin 3.09 choose AP) and choose the file ".tar"
Step 6) check "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" options and make sure that "Re-Partition" is unchecked
!!!!DO NOT CHECK "Nand Erase All" IN ANY WAY!!!!
Step 7) Click on Start button in ODIN window to start the flashing process. The process will take few minutes to complete.
DO NOT UNPLUG USB CABLE WHILE EXECUTING THE PROCESS, YOU MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE!
Step 8) When the installation is completed, you read a "Reset " then a "Pass". your phone will restart (first boot will take a longer time so don't panic) :good:
It is recommended to make hard reset after flashing to have a fresh official firmware ​​
Note 1: Personally, i prefer to wipe data and cache before and after flashing the firmware.
Note 2: If you have a corrupted partition table (Odin says: "there is no pit partition" or "Re-Partition operation failed"), flash pit file for your device (attached, dont forget to unzip it) (put it in pit window) with your firmware (some users reported that it worked without firmware), in this case "Re-Partition" must be marked.
Note 3: If you use pit file, and you had an encryption password for your data, the password will reset! so you must hard reset your phone after flashing with pit file with encrypted data.
Note 4: If you want, after rooting with odin, to get official status and reset binary counter ON I9505 for warranty reason, do it before flashing stock firmware, refer to HERE.
Note 5: To change to the new CSC, just boot into recovery, wipe data and cache, reboot. If not use this great app to change your product code (must be rooted).
Note 6: If you flash I9500 stock firmware for China region, it will flash sboot.bin with it, that leads to have a Chinese bootloader (download mode will be in Chinese language and boot splash name will change). Even if you flash other stock firmware, it will not change the bootloader. So flash "GT-I9500_sboot.tar" (attached) as pda in Odin and it will fix the issue. (works on 4.2.2 firmwares!)
Note 7: Once stock 4.3/4.4.2 firmware is flashed, you can not downgrade to a previous version due to the new bootloader.​​
Odin troubleshooting: If Odin accidentally gives you "fail" try the following:
- Repeat procedure.
- Make sure that all actions of Kies are disabled from task manager.
- Change usb port.
- Try another usb cable (make sure it is the original).
- Try another Odin version.
- Uninstall and re-install driver.
- Use pit file.
- Try another computer.​
Bootloop troubleshooting: Bootloop occurs when a smartphone is not able to boot properly and stuck on Bootanimation and mainly caused by system files interfering with each others which cause instability and/or crash at the boot sequence. How to fix:
- Boot the device either into stock or custom recovery mode, wipe cache then reboot, if still, boot again in recovery and wipe data/factory reset then reboot. If not:
- Restore a nandroid backup with custom recovery if present. If not:
- Flash or reflash the official stock firmware. If not:
- Flash stock firmware with the appropriate pit file, after "pass", unplug usb cable, pull battery out for a minute, insert it, boot into recovery, wipe data and cache, reboot.​

Different csc. I will post NEE :thumbup:

Which will be the steps to change a COA(Romania) firmware with NEE in order to receive future OTAs ?
Is it difficult to change the CSC in phone to match the firmware to make it recognizable in Kies?
I like more NEE and I've used this in S2 and S3.

Thanks So if I'm using the EE firmware, does my phone still need to be factory unlocked? As at the moment it's locked on EE?

Soft brick in S4 i9500
Friends, I have a problem!!!
I did the actualization on my S4 and I was trying to put more space in my SDcard, when I turned it off when it was trying to unmount internal SDcard (it was my fault because I was changing the vold... file)..
So, When I was boot it, the phone just go in recovery mode and couldnt mount any file (always in mount files error).
I can access recovery mode, but I cant mount or unmount any directories (always in error).
I can access the phone in ODIN, and I tried to re-install the original FW. It did well, but the phone cant finish the instalation because it cant mount anything.
I think the phone have the files or partition corrupted!!! I'm trying to use adb shell, but I cant access the phone (error: device not found). I can access in ODIN, but with ADB no.
Somebody had this problem or could help me to solve it, please!!!
Tks in advance!

Can you add SM-G920I too?

I guess no need to differentiate with country. Just divide by model. eg 920F, 925F, I, M, W etc. Tq

Great initiative!
Could you add Brazil?

MD5/SHA Hash
Good work!
If it is not much work, kindly add the MD5/SHA Hash to the download instruction, for verification!

What is the difference between the H3G and O2 version in the UK?
I use G920FXXU1AOCV - nordic country, but I guess the UK firmware works just fine, right? So should I get H3G or O2?
Thanks in advance

H3G and O2 are the carriers, so it's the carrier bloat that comes with the rom essentially.

I am currently running the H3G rom as I'm in the UK and this is my actual carrier, you can remove/disable most of the bloat, but the boot screen is changed from showing Samsung to showing the Three logo. I don't know about the O2 rom. My actual phone is from Vodafone Germany and the Voda rom had a bit more bloat.

Well thanks. Just bricked my device tho. It failed and now it can't start. Trying recovery in a sec. Can it be because the firmware was not for my phone? Or the firmware number were, but the wrong country?

Could you add change list number?

Don't know about o2 or 3, but the EE one is from my phone and the only non samsung bloat is the "MyEE" app, which can be uninstalled.

Not sure if i'm wrong here, but you sure you gave them, the right names? Cause my device is a nordic SM-G920F and is using the G920FXXU1AOCV firmware from standard.
But when I downloaded the UK version (which should work just fine) and flashed it using newest version of Odin, my device bricked and haven't found a firmware yet, so still not able to start my phone.

My device is a German SM-G920F and I flashed the H3G rom. Steps I performed:
1. Boot into stock recovery (power+home+up) and delete user data and cache to factory reset
2. Boot into download mode (power+home+down) and flash the 3GB or so .tar.md5 in AP with Odin 3.10.6
I had no issues.

Well I did the same thing, but just before finishing up, it says fail. Tried 4-5 different firmwares now. Any idea what to do? ? Can't start pr turn off my device right now. Just a blue screen saying that the update failed. I can put it into download mode tho.

I have no network bloat as I bought mine outright.

You can purchase a phone outright and it will still have bloat. Such as mine.

The files are the same. You download any of them.
The difference is inside the phone.

I see this says that you have stock Android 7.0 nougat for LG K10 K420N we are talking about the 2016 version of the K10 right? Because when I checked for updates on my phone and LG bridge it didn't say anything about having an update to Android 7.0

Hello! A friend purchased the LG G710N. On the box and phone IMEI the same. On combination * # 06 # is not displayed. For different sites checking IMEI no information. 128 GB is written on the box, only 64 in the phone. How to really determine which device it is?
Android 8 is flashed. A friend wants 9.0. Which region to flash?

I'm not in the Beta, this was offered OTA to a 'clean' new phone that was only opened two days ago and hasn't even been fully configured yet as I'm waiting for my otterbox before using it properly.
You don't need to go to sammobile, you can get it OTA from Settings.
