Mr Rakesh, i bought a new S4. Sorry for replying late Rakesh. I had that Firmware upgrade encountered issue with Exlamation mark inside a yellow triangle. So had given up! But thru the XDA website someone mentioned your site.
I with almost not anticipating the positive result followed the prompt and Vola! Thank you once again. Ive tried pretty much everything, after the MDK failed and semi soft bricked my device, the carny fw worked after I got the yellow triangle, with device to computer sign, Which is the ME7 builod like I already had.
But I want MDK, only bc I thought the bootloader could be unlocked for custom recoveries, without loki or safestrap. Now if thats not true, then theres no reason for MDK…However, I didnt try the method recommended to my question, Is that a option when wanting to downgrade the firmware to MDK???

Bro… I bought a phone from saudi and now in india the indian sims are not working.. Please help bro.. What can I do to fix.? Mhaan its irratating you buy such an expensive phone and soo much hassle.
Hey Rakesh, i bought my s4 from saudi.. Hi Pratik, Verizon does not release its firmware to be downloaded separately, so it is very difficult to tell you a way for that outside the USA. The best way I can figure out is custom ROMs. Root your device and use the custom ROMs.
Most custom ROMs are updated regularly as Verizon comes up with new firmwares. The best way, as I told above, is to root your phone and install a custom ROM. That way, you will be able to use the latest builds of firmware for SCH-I I am having the galaxy s4 which I bought from France! What do i do now?
Do i need to root my phone? Will it void my warranty? Will I be able to update in the future via OTA or kies? Sorry for a lot of questions but I am really confused! No, you need not root the device to install official firmware and can try any firmware. Thanks a lot! It helped a lot! Does the procedure on galaxy s4 was the same on galaxytab2 on flashing stockfirmware using mobile Odin? I mean using mobile Odin. Check that yourself and if it supports, the steps will be the same.
Firstly, thanks for the quick reply! Do you have any other suggestions for the language issue? Hi do I need to root the device before installing original firmware via Odin if the firmware is from a different region than my phone.
If so where is the tutorial for that? After rooting and getting a custom recovery mod should I just follow the update via Odin instructions above? If I do that will I lose all of my apps? Titanium backup needs to root the device.
What ago can I use to backup without routing. Should I still root the device anyway. Seems like most people so that? Thanks, should I factory reset before flashing the new firmware, or after flashing? I already installed the firmware and forgot to factory reset, is that bad? What makes you think that USB debugging makes the device dirty? It is just an option.
Also, factory resetting the device is not compulsory, it is rather mandatory. We recommend it for better performance. Could you send me the instructions,how to update it to 4.
Am living in jamaica. Thank you!! I spent a night trying to fix a massive idiocy I did and them your post came to rescue me! Thanks so much! How do i ensure that i get regular OTA updates. I will no longer use the phone in Saudi but will use in India. Is changing the CSC the only way?
And will it void my warranty in any way? And which CSC should i get? Elaborate please. Only the CSCchanger app way needs. Yes the code method does not need root but it is not working on Galaxy S4 now. Check it and let me know.
It worked on some earlier firmwares though. Ill try it and let you know. Do you leave a space? It appears that installing ME7 on my device trying to recover it has left it a mess. From what I have read, there is no way to root ME7 yet. You can root only after downgrading firmware and later you can install a ROM that is based on the latest build.
Yes, I know. Hmm, have you used this method while downgrading? Waiting for copies of the other i files listed above do re-download so I can try again. You can then install it using Odin. Unfortunately I think that would require that my phone is rooted with a custom recovery, correct? No, you can install any. Please wait about 2 minutes Receive Response from boot-loader rpm. Now Writing.. Please wait about 2 minutes Receive Response from boot-loader aboot. Auth All threads completed.
XX… instead of …. Hey, Nikhil.. Does this give any info on the problem? I never had a problem rooting my device before, not sure why I am now. I think so. Build number is JDQ This is the kernel correct? Keep getting that same error. Is there any way that Samsung could have locked the ME7 version up tight? Are you trying to install the firmware or the Kernel? ME7 might not allow it but you should be able to install the firmware. I was following some rooting instructions and the files that came with them were kernels.
Thanks for pointing that out. Anyway, I wanted to delete the settings so I could make sure that tweaks were being reapplied and when I booted, I got the black screen and no custom recovery… strange. Might have been a coincidence but who knows. Is the odex or deodex version the best choice? Any firmware can be downgraded. Just try it. And yes, it is always wise to keep a copy of stock firmware on your computer.
I want to have the new app2sd feature on my phone which is not available for this CSC. What should I do now?? Hello Rakesh. Thank you for this valuable information. Ive been seeing this update from samsung, that supposed to be provide stability and other updates to my SGS4. Im currently living in the philippines. And so far ive been checking on the software update but it still says i have the latest update installed.
Im only using mobile network. Would i still receive OTA update even if im in the philippines?? I dont want to try manual updating as im not well versed with it. Thank you and please reply to this. Email me [email protected]. More power! You have not yet received the latest update because it is not available yet for Brazil or even Philippines.
Alternatively, you can install a firmware meant for another country to enjoy the new features. You can later install the original firmware when it arrives and resume getting the updates. Ahh so that explains why when im checking the software update it says that i have the latest firmware available.
I guess india is really getting the latest update the earliest than any southern american countries. So since i have the CSC for brazil and im here now in the philippines, my update will still be from brazil not from philippines right? Thank you very much rakesh for really informing me about all of this! I want to fix these issues. Which one should I use? Once I click for download in sammobile, It shows two packages.
If not what I have to do to get the same. Yes, you can flash the Indian firmware with INU csc. However, on Chinese models, it is a little harder to install any other firmware but there is no harm in trying. Now i disabled all Chinese apps on application manager and using selected apps only, so need of Google Play for me. Using third party app and websites to download apps for phone. So Not a Big deal to change, So i left as it is and look similar to other S4.
Moreover OTA is my main concern. If firmware changed need to flash regularly for any new updates. I want to buy and use apps from the UK play store. Is there a way to just change the CSC to let me do this? Google Play has nothing to do with that. Google detects your location and then shows you apps for that region. So I do not think it will help. Do you think changing it to a UK setup would make any difference? My account with Google is set to a UK address and bank.
Hi, if this is the problem, I think we have a pretty nice solution for you but for that you will have to root your phone. If you wish to root, here is the guide. Thank you so much for this helpful tutorial! I now have the google play store and finally, a decent phone! I live in China and there is no google play store, which kinda sucks. Nvm, just read the useful comment below! Yes , you can.
