SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 factory firmware. Installing the official firmware on Samsung Galaxy S4 i9500

Hello, in this article I would like to tell you how to reflash Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 / GT-I9505

For the firmware, you will need a laptop or computer connected to an uninterruptible power supply, uninterrupted food is a very important point, because in the case of the power supply there is a chance to get from the "Brick" phone,

Which at home will not be restored and will come to carry your Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9500 / GT-I9505 to the service center.
It is desirable to flash via USB 2.0 port, with USB 3.0 ports sometimes there are problems (in mind their novelty and not perfection). USB1 ports are not suitable! (Too old)
The phone needs to be connected directly to USB, and not through the hub!

And so what you need to reflash samsung galaxy s4 gt-i9500 / gt-i9505?
You need to install the driver for your phone to your phone, you can find them on. Samsung site.
Download and establish the program itself through which we will reflash our Galaxy S4, Flasher - Odin v3.07 or a more recent version. (Odin is of. A program of company service centers, because I will not give an active link, google to help).
You need to download the firmware itself, you can download and ETU Rutovanny SGS4 (root)

Well, let's start flashing Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9500 / GT-I9505
Close the KIES program, we kill all processes in Task Manage associated with KIES.
The firmware which I downloaded unpacking into the directory is easier (preferably without Cyrillic, etc.), for example, with: \\ GT-9500 \\ i9500xxuamdk_i9500seramdk_i9500xxuamdk_home.tar.md5

1. Run the ODIN V3.07 program from the administrator account code, and see the following window:

2. Include smartphone. Close on the disabled smartphone three buttons (volume down + center software key + power button. As soon as the inscription appears on the warning !! And then the white-green text let go of the keys.

We read: VOLUME UP: What we need, press the volume up the volume up. And we see a green android and under it inscription, downloading .., all the phone is ready for flashing, we entered it in Flash Mode. (If we press the speaker volume not up, and the smart will go down to reboot!)

3. Everything is ready for the firmware: connect the cable (inserted in advance in the PC) to the smartphone and see in the upper left corner the inscription "COM" with the port number on a blue background (the phone is recognized by one)

Drivers will be put if you make it the first time, so wait until they do not fully install !!

4. If you downloaded the archive, in which there is only one * .tar or * .tar.md5 file, then we substitute this tar (MD5) in odin3, as the PDA part. The remaining daws do not touch. Ticks near Auto Reboot, F.Reset Time should stand, the remaining checkboxes should be like in the picture, that is, empty !!!

Notes: MD5 extension is not recommended. This is the same TAR, but with checksum checks (CRC).
Some custom firmware also go with MD5. Their authors do not always understand the meaning of the CRC. Those. Take stock *tar.md5 and change files inside. As a result, CRC does not correspond to the content, and ODIN3 is completely rightfully starting to swear. In this case, or this protest ignore, or the MD5 extension is removed.
With some firmware there is a ss_dl.dll file. It is present in all the firmware, pulled by Kies. For one, this file is not needed.

Hello everyone, in this post I will show how you can flash (update software or reflash), get root-rights (ruting or ruting), install CWM (custom or not factory recovery) and reset the settings (Hard Reset) on the smartphone SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 GT-I9500 16GB.

It so happened that I had to use it for a whole week. If you compare it with mine, I practically didn't notice the difference, just the same in the drain, as much useless applications for me, but there is one thing - the quality of the assembly of my better.

And so, when updating, I will use the usual factory firmware of the latest version with Android 4.4.2. In this article I will not put custom (modified by other "specialists") version of firmware for the reason - well, they don't like me. About six months stood on my SGS3 not official firmware - I did not like it. It can be seen that people make them "for themselves." Back set up stock and rutuane. Everything suits me. Root-right I need to delete all the applications that are not necessary for me and for the installation of prog that needs these privileges. I will not talk about it in detail. In the following articles.

Only one thing can be said on the user - the most important cant of this phone is Akb - sank for this week. This is a factory marriage (more accurate). When using consumption of 0.7 amps, and therefore, with long use, the first acb could not withstand such a load. And one more thing that I did not like - by the end of the warranty period, if not to use the case, then the paint with the rim can be dried. On the Chinese, this is almost uncommon, and here the device for kilobaks when starting sales. It was possible to solve this problem. Well, okay enough to gung and let's already start. All in order.

ATTENTION!!! Before starting software updates, rutovania, reset the settings and other manipulations with your own or do not give God a foreign apparatus HIGHLY RECOMMEND Read this. In short, you were warned and not say then that you hear it for the first time.

Preparation for firmware and other actions.

To get back to flashing your smartphone, you must first prepare. The preparatory stage takes not much time, but allows you to do everything without any problems. Everything needs preparation.

As usual, I first recommend charge , preferably one hundred percent, but also enough for half a half. But it is better not to risk and put the phone for charging and wait for her ending;

For firmware we need the usual microUSB cable which is included with the device. Check the phone and cable connections on the health and absence of dirt and oxide traces. Otherwise, the device is simply not determined by the computer and will not flash;

Drivers are installed along with Kies. - or you can install separately - there is an instruction on the installation and the file itself;

Firmware - ODIN3 v3.07 ;

Firmware - I9500XXUGNG3. . In the examples, I used this version, although at the moment the updated was released. But do not essence the main show you the process of changing the software. Fresh firmware version I9500xxuhod4. There are in files - it is relevant at the moment;

CF-AUTO-ROOT-JA3G-JA3GXX-GTI9500 - file to get root rights;

philz_touch_6.00.8-i9500 file to install custom recovery;

Personal computer or laptop - suitable simple computer with winxpwin7win8 on board;

You probably thought, where to take all this by - at the end of the post you are waiting for the answer to this question.

But before you begin to do something Save all the important and necessary information from the phone to the memory card or other media information, otherwise you will lose everything, since it will be removed. Start.

1 step: Before the firmware you need to enter the phone to downloading mode. This is done like that - clamp the volume button down (sound decreases) and not releasing it by pressing the HOME button (below on the front part it is there) and immediately the power button, keep them so far Warning warning will not appear. Here we warn about risks when firmware. If you are not afraid, press the volume button up (volume increases) to continue.

ROOT rights in 3 minutes

Let's now show how you can get superuser rights or root access. But there is one minus - you automatically lose the official warranty on the smartphone. And so I do not recommend you to do this.

1 step: Enter the device to download mode. How to do it showed above. Run Odin.

2 step: Press the PDA button and select the CF-AUTO-ROOT-JA3G-JA3GXX-GTI9500 file. Connect the device to the computer. We are waiting for when it is determined and click the START button.

3 step: Files are loaded quickly. The phone will reboot and will appear Pass! - Root Received.

4 Step: Go to the main menu of the phone and the SuperSU application icon should appear there.

This means that when contacting the ACS under the manufacturer's warranty with some kind of malfunction, you will repair at your own expense. Since the warranty you were worse in 3 minutes. It is spelled out in gar. Coupon. Dump this meter more or less in a simple way has not yet learned.

ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM)

CWM is a custom recovery, which has a much greater functionality in comparison with the standard one. The installation of the recovery will be shown here philz Touch. For our smartphone. When installing this recovery, you also lose the warranty.

1 step: Load your smartphone to download mode. Run one. Select the philz_touch_6.00.8-i9500 file by clicking the PDA button, connect the body to the computer, after determining the COM port click the Start button and wait for Pass!. CWM installed.
