[Q] safe root for BML4 (CSC XEO) needed! up-/downgrade possible? - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I've already tried the search and google but I'm still not sure.
I've been wondering for a while why I did not receive any firmware update for my GT-I9195 and finally figured out, that I've been sold a Polish version of the phone (XEO). According to sammobile, there have been very few updates for this version.
*#1234# is showing:
AP: I9195XXUBML4
CP: I9195XXUBML4
CSC: I9195XEOBNA1
I don't want to trigger Knox, because I already had a warranty case...
Is it possible to upgrade it to 4.4.2 with a different CSC and use towelroot?
Is it possible to downgrade to BMK3 (or BMJ7) and use saferoot or Kingo?
Thanks in advance!

[Q] Install 4.4.2 from Sammobile manually

Hi All,
Got a small question about upgrading my S4Mini (GT-I9195 LTE) from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2.
At the moment my phone is on stock-rom which is 4.2.2 , when i check for 'updates' it says, 'latest updates already installed'.
Also when connecting to 'Kies' , the program says latest firmware already installed..
However when i check the Sammobile website for the GT-I9195 Model there are newer firmware's showing up , Android 4.4.2, but it depends on the country if the firmware is already at 4.4.2.
For the Netherlands, where i'm from, this one is available :
Model: GT-I9195
Model name: GALAXY S4 mini LTE
Country: Netherlands (Vodafone)
Version: Android 4.4.2
Changelist: 1646188
Build date: Tue, 27 May 2014 08:17:05 +0000
Product Code: VDF
PDA: I9195XXUCNEA
CSC: I9195VFGCNE4
MODEM: I9195XXUCNEA
However, i'm not with Vodafone as a provider, would that be a problem ?
When i check my phone specs, this is what i get:
AP: I9195XXUBNB3
CP: I9195XXUBNB3
CSC: I9195PHNBND1
Can i just install android 4.4.2 from Sammobile without any problem ?
Thanks in advance.

Network/carrier specific firmware may have custom software or setting for the ROM, it better to find some other model that are as close to your phone's spec as possible to avoid any potential problem.
As if your phone has Know, it would trigger Know if you don't update via the official way.

Hi, thanks for your answer.
Knox-flag is already triggered on my phone, but because i had to sent it back to shop for maintenance they reset it back to factory settings (android 4.2.2.)
However, i don't get it the way Samsung is updating the phone's. It's said that 4.4.2 is out for S4Mini , however when i'm searching for my device on Sammobile (I9195XXUBNB3), it still says 4.2.2.
Should I wait with updating, or what else ?

That depends entirely on you... If you wish to preserve the warranty and keep the KNOX, than don't. If you can't wait and don't get bother by KNOX or warranty than go for it.
LOL, too tired, I just realize I keep typing KNOX as 'know'...

I just typed that my KNOX warranty is already void, it's triggerd 0x1.
I'm now just wondering what the best way is for me to update to stock 4.4.2...i'm confused with al the stock-roms that have 4.4.2 for S4Mini on Sammobile.

All the ROM listed on Smmmobile is for different region. And I would also expect there won't be a 4.4.2 for your specific phone since you've check via Kies. So you need to find a phone from another region that are same spec as yours - band, function, etc and prefer not a carrier/network model.
Alternatively you can go for the custom KK ROM here.

S9 (SM-G960F) No OTA updates. Changing firmware.

Hi experts,
I bought a used S9 (SM-G960F) a few months ago from Pakistan. Phone is un-locked and was manufactured in YATELEY, UK. This phone never receives any OTA updates. When I manually check for updates, it says that latest updates have already been installed. I checked on a sammobile, there are quite a few updates available there.
I am not sure what kind of firmware or CSC modifications were done to this device before I bought it (I am sorry but I am still a noob when it comes to android, so please help). I did however check with Phone INFO app, the device is not rooted. In settings it also says that it is official and knox warranty void is 0x0.
Can I flash a firmware for my current country (Pakistan) using Odin?
For example this one: PDA G960FXXU2CSA2 and CSC G960FOXM2CSA2.
Or should I use UK BTU firmware? In that case would I have to unlock the phone by using UK SIM before being able to use it in Pakistan?
My Phone INFO:
Firmware:
Bootloader: G960FXXU2BRGA
PDA: G960FXXU2BRGA
CSC: G960FOXM2BRGA
Baseband: G960FXXU2BRG8​CSC code:
Product code: SM-G960FZPAPAK
Original CSC code:
Firmware's CSC code:
Active CSC code: PAK
Available CSC codes:
CSC country: Pakistan / PK​
My apologies if my question is very basic or has been answered before. I've been reading forums but found nothing satisfactory. Please guide.

Question firmware question

I'm in the process of rooting my phone, and I just wanted to double check something my firmware is as follows:
ap: g990bxxu1buk5
cp: g990bxxu1buk5
csc: g990boxm1buk5
and the closest firmware I can find is g990bxxu1bul5. Since L is one letter on from K, I'm assuming this is just the latest version, and that the OXM CSC lines up fine, so it's ok. Can someone confirm that I'm ok to flash that ROM?
You are correct, g990bxxu1bul5 is the latest firmware. I just confirmed on my own updated handset (SM-G990B).
