[Galaxy S 4 General] Waleed.Q:
I'm trying to download the I9500XXUBMEA build, and from what I gather from Kies is that I have the EGY build on my phone.

I've been trying to download the firmware for the past few days. Seeing that the file is 1.5 gigs, that hotfile doesn't support resume download for free downloads, and that I have a crappy internet connection I figure i'll never be able to complete the download without getting a premium account.

I understand that Adam does not have the acctual firmore and that he only providing us with links that sammobile.com had uploaded onto hotfile. I will greatly appreciate it if anyone could provide me with a solution or an alternative that works. It would seem that I'm not the only one who's having trouble with hotfile!

Thank you in advance.

[Galaxy S 4 General] coront:
I have the same problem. Are there any other sources to download?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Waleed.Q:
I found a solution, though you need an active android smartphone for it to work.

UC browser has a cloud storage system that lets you download huge files onto their servers,

and at a later time re-download those file from their servers onto your device.

I've successfully tried it, downloaded and installed the firmware, and have official device status on my i9500.

Hope this helps

How to :

So, download "UC browser" from the play store. Upon opening the browser, swipe to the second bookmarks page.

You will see a shortcut to "UDisk" press it and register.

Go to the hotfile link you want to download. When you press download you will be prompted to "download" or "cloud download",

press "cloud download".

You will have two choices, to "transfer to UDisdk", which will permanently save the file in the server.

(I tried this the first time, but the download was not successful for some reason.)

or "save in temp-file station", which saves the file to the server for a period of 7 days,

Which I did the second time and worked wonderfully.

You can go back to the UDisk page where you registered, there you can check on the status of the download.

After the download is completed, re-download the file onto your device (make sure you're using WiFi), then to your PC.

Hi everyone, I need some assistance here ...

I am currently on I9500XWUBMG5, I was trying to revert back to older version I9500XWUBMG1 or other BMG1 firmware I discover that my phone will be in No Network status.

I have go through network search manually & choose my network yet is still show no network. But once I flash back to BMG5 the network goes normal.

Did I miss out anything during my flash with Odin 3.07? Or the system don't allow to downgrade?

Please help

[Galaxy S 4 General] lch920619x:
I would say that's because all major bugs are sorted out now so there is virtually no urgent need for a new firmware.

I'm on BMG9, everything is good. battery life quite good, camera launches quickly, phone feels snappy, buttery smooth, no call issues or any other issues.

and yeah, there's still smearing, but I don't give a shxt.

So why bother with new firmware?

Anyway don't mis interpret me, new features and more bug fixes are always welcome. we're just, not so thirsty in that sense. :)

Just an advice...

I think once you install MH1 which includes Modem MG9, you will not able to downgrade rom with lower version modem.

( You may face problem with calling , like ...not registered with network....)

So I suggest to make a backup of your EFS partition before upgrading and also note-down your current modem/baseband version from Settings--> About Phone.

Multiwindow has got many new apps into it (Music, video, play store, samsung apps......)

RAM management is surely better as i am having 1100~900MB free without clearing RAM

only irritating things are reduced internal storage ie. now 8.9GB and home screen folder's losing icons of sd card apps after OTA update.:rolleyes:
