Hey! i was wondering if anyone knows if theres a update for the GT-I9506, i've only gotten to update to 4.3 (jelly bean) while my mother she has nearly the same except its I9505, is there any difference that makes that she has Kitkat on hers while i have jelly bean? and i've seen kitkat upgrade for it in the northern countries (i live in Norway) but i havent gotten any update since i bought the phone, do i just have to wait? or do i need to manually update it?

Thanks in advance!

Hello and welcome to Android Forums Delko! :)

Whilst most i9506 phones have received an update to Android 4.4.2., there are still some on Android 4.3. It all depends on your phone's CSC code. This is explained in detail in #1.3 of 29 Galaxy S4 models - know yours? There are also other reasons that you may not have received the update, as explained in #1.4 of the previous link.

If you are still unsure about your update, just publish your 3 lines of firmware information, as described in the first link, and I, or someone else, will be able to guide you further.

Your i9506 phone was originally on CSC code TEN which is the code for Norway, Telenor.

At some point in the past, it has been flashed with NEE = Nordic Countries firmware.

This has caused a mismatch in the codes and will prevent you receiving further updates. See #1.4 29 Galaxy S4 models - know yours?

The latest release for your CSC code Telenor is Android 4.3....

Model: GT-I9506

Model name: GALAXY S4 LTE-A

Country: Norway (Telenor)

Version: Android 4.3

Changelist: 2210443

Build date: Wed, 18 Dec 2013 11:46:45 +0000

Product Code: TEN

PDA: I9506XXUBML6

CSC: I9506TENBML2

MODEM: I9506XXUBMK7

This is the version of the firmware that should be on your phone. However, the NEE code has had 3 releases for Android 4.4.2 and is now on the following...

Model: GT-I9506

Model name: GALAXY S4 LTE-A

Country: Nordic countries

Version: Android 4.4.2

Changelist: 2986314

Build date: Mon, 13 Oct 2014 10:37:00 +0000

Product Code: NEE

PDA: I9506XXUCNJ1

CSC: I9506NEECNJ1

MODEM: I9506XXUCNF3

Since TEN, Telenor have not issued an update since February 2013 and are still on Android 4.3 and show no signs of releasing Android 4.4.2. You may wish to manually update your phone to the Android 4.4.2, NEE, Nordic Countries firmware by following the instructions and video in #1.5 of 29 Galaxy S4 models - know yours?

Alternatively, you could take it to a Samsung Service Point and they could restore you to the Android 4.3, TEN, firmware. They may charge for this as it is outside of the warranty terms.

You will need to do a Factory Data reset as per post #2 of S4 Lollipop Update Problems - Dummies Guide

so i was wondering is it possible to revert back to the firware i had without loosing anything on my phone?

As per the warning in #1.5 of 29 Galaxy S4 models - know yours?...

"If your current firmware is Knox enabled, Android 4.3 onwards, you cannot downgrade to 4.2.2 or from 4.4.2 to 4.3. "
