Updated to official 4.3 rom?

Hi,
I plugged my S4 to Samsung Kies the other day and it said there is a new firmware (4.3) and gave me a list of new stuff on the rom, once I updated I went into my device info and found out that it still remained on 4.2.2 .
Can someone please explain or advice why I can't update to 4.3?

And there is your problem. If you're rooted you won't be able to get an official update. So go to the i9505 thread and get a rom from there

[Q] shv-e370k (korean model)

Hello, does anyone have any experience with the SHV-E370K (Korean domestic version of Galaxy S4 Mini LTE)?
specifically, i'm looking to root it, but i'm wondering if this method is possible:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980
I am wondering if, as usual, the Korean version has a slightly different motherboard than the international version (GT-I9195) and thus cannot use the GT-I9195 rooting method in the link above?
Thanks a lot

According to my research, there is no difference. I am using the same model as you. And I also couldn't see any difference in the hardware. Does your Group Play work? And how if we flash an official rom like France or India on these models? We wont loose OTA?

im not sure. actually i dont have any friends with a similar phone to try Group Play ;P
the korean version has LTE cat 4 at 150m, whiles the rest is cat 3 at 100m.
The korean version also known as the E370K, E370S and E370L, differences being different radio support for different network.

this might be a noob question, but does that affect the rooting method? (same for international and korean version?)
You can use CWM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2398143, and root with this http://download.chainfire.eu/381/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.91.zip. Thanks to Arco and Chainfire

You can always update latest official with Odin, but remember if you trip Knox (using arco's recovery) you could lose warranty

European firmware sm-n910f on at&t galaxy note 4(SM-N910A)

Hi guys. I live in the UK and I bought this galaxy note 4 on eBay. As it turns out it was an AT&T model from America. Everything seems to be working but the only problem I have is that I can't get any upgrades. Now my question is: is it possible to install the sm-910f firmware on an at&t model?

since the AT&T model is locked down you are out of luck there is no way to flash anything other than AT&T firmware

Follow this thread. You can flash 5.1.1 using ODIN. You will need to download the files and links are there plus instructions which are relatively straightforward

That's the thing that really really sucks about android - they left you at the Mercy of your carrier, and if it's att branded they don't give an f about you unless you're their customer
