[Galaxy S 4 General] samersh72:
some users reported that they successfully downgraded their I9500 to stock MH1 or MJ8 only South African (XFA or XFE) firmwares with odin.

Note that I have also a i9505 on Vodafone UK carrier, but my phone has the non-carrier specific UK firmware I9505XXUAMDM_I9505OXXAMDB_BTU. So you might want to use that one (and you will probably avoid preloaded Vodafone crap).

PS: I double checked again, if you have the XXUAMDM you need the BTU firmware, not the VOD (which has XXUAMDD).

quick question, not exactly on topic but kind of. I just thought people here would know...

I'm on the latest GE rom, but still on the old bootloader and stuff... if I want to update the BL/modem/lte modem, can I just delete everything else from an odin fw pack and flash that?

plus, I know the modem file is modem.bin and that the lte modem is NON-HLOS.bin, but what is the BL file?

also, is there anything else I should keep? I just want things that aren't updated with costum roms to get updated

OR is there any thread where the kind of pack I'm looking for is done and posted for download already?

thanks in advance!

edit2: huh, tried deleting some stuff off the .tar.md5 file with 7zip and it gave me an error, so an already made package would be nice, anyone?

there are stock firmwares that are updated with ota and not with kies. and your current firmware is not supported by kies for upgrading, and all are official.

Using Odin 3.07...if that has anything to do with anything

She is on three network so I downloaded the ccorect firmware for it and tried flashing. Got a fail because no pit file and used pit file and everything worked grand firmware flashed phone booted up.

Did a wipe with stock recovery and all. But when I went to set up phone evwrything started to crash. Google location, google +, few other apps and even touchwiz launcher.
