Malaysia import S4 LTE-A? I don't think so. You may need to follow the news from originated country of the birth of your phone.

Just OTA from phone will do. No root required

Alternatively you may download the ROM and flash it using ODIN, also no root required. thumbup.gif

Using ODIN is much easier once you know the steps. Download latest Odin (v3.09) then download your required firmware files, connect your phone to your pc in Download Mode, load your firmware in Odin then flash.

Check tutorial here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...377&postcount=1

is i9506 share the same steps and formula to flash with i9500 and i9505? btw this odin seem quite complicated. haha doh.gif

QUOTE(nokia6280 @ Oct 2 2014, 01:42 PM)
Just in case OTA screw up you may use bro wajahebat to rescue you phone but you need to know what country ROM you are using..

1. Do a backup of your contact, picture, apps, sms, calender, whatapps and etc... using Kies (download from samsung)
2. Go to settings -> More -> about device -> software update -> update (if you use data plan to OTA uncheck wifi-only)
3. Sit back, relex and wait for it's to complete

is this OTA an app that i can just download from playstore? then just launch it and update? unsure.gif

no la, just some simple stuff i want to clarify.

coz my i9506 is an imported set, and it is still android 4.3 until now.

so now here's my question: will imported phone which is not official in malaysia (malaysia only got i9500 and i9505) get their auto software update outside the origin region where the phone is produced? i tried both OTA and samsung kies methods but it showed that my phone have the latest update which is android 4.3, i supposed 4.4 kitkat for i9506 had already rolled out few months ago., rite? so now the only way i can get the update is i manually flash it by using odin?

You are half right,

1. You will receive OTA when released to the region where your phone from no matter what telco you with and there is no restriction.
2. 4.4.2 first released on July 2014 for I9506 but doesn't mean you will get it cause the updates may not for your device. You must understand how Samsung release FW.

3. flashing manual is an option if you want to experience FW faster then the rest. if you really not able to update from OTA but have you confirmed your region already got update? Tell us your phone region and some here may able to help. Tell us your baseband/ build number.

baseband version: I9506XXUBML3
build number: I9506XXUBNA2

i supposed my phone is europe set.

Looks like an ancient time firmware. Better update to latest firmware. Any country will do, if got signal problem, download any malaysian firmware, extract the modem.bin and i will make a flashable zip for you. Using odin also can flash modem

can u provide me a reliable go-through guide on how to find the FM and flashing by odin? tongue.gif
