Hi there!
I have a Galaxy S4 Mini l9195L (Latin version), which only can only officially upgrade to 4.2.2
Is it possible to upgrade it to 4.3 (or later) using custom firmware for a regular non-latin l9195 device?
I have researched many websites and forums but cannot find the answer.
Thank you so much in advance.
I was about to ask the same thing in the Kitkat thread. Hope someone can answer to this.

Its better NOT to use firmware/ROMs meant for devices of different model number. Yes I9195 and I9195L have same hardware but there is a reason why sammy uses different model numbers. Wait for official kitkat, go to sammobile firmware section and search for I9195L.
I do not think you will be able to flash any stock based kitkat custom roms on I9195L. It gives error as it is looking for i9195 and u have i9195l.
Be patient. never be complacent.

Jason, you are fine to flash any ROM as long as it is for your specific model e.g. N7105 (yours) and not for another model. Being on 4.1 you may find your current bootloader causes intermittent problems on a 4.3 ROM. There are two solutions, upgrade your bootloader to MJ5 prior to flashing 4.3 ROM or flash 4.3 ROM then flash drketan's wifi fix.
I also recommend NOT flashing from Sammobile, instead go to Android development forum here on XDA and select an appropriate ROM. That way the Knox feature present in latest 4.3 ROMs can be avoided.
I have deliberately not included links for you - instead read & read install instructions from the ROM thread of your choosing. You will be fine as long as you understand each step & all the terms & points mentioned in ROM thread.
Good luck
Are there any KitKat ROMs for the 9192 variant of the S4 Mini. All the KK ROMs I can see are for the 9190 or 9195.
Planning on getting a 9192 this weekend.

Because of the dual radio, porting ROM for the GT-9192 has its difficulties. You either need to wait for the official release for Samsung or use ODION and flash another region's KK ROM. Note this will trigg Knox. You need to do more research on that before you getting the phone.
So far no kk for us, we'll have to wait for stock
I understand. Any update ? Maybe that is the reason why there are a few roms for our device. Hope we will get kitkat soon and developers will rebuild their roms for our devices. Thanks !

there is also a kitkat 4.4.4 with thousands of compilations, not understand exactly what the best, some lower older versions and do not exhibit the same bugs of others, it seems a rather matter of luck ... But all are not official, I believe that will not leave even reviewed by the official forum, only the good guys who make the effort,'re below the link of 4.4.4, if anyone knows which one is the most stable.

:laugh: That question was asked in February, more than 6 months ago when there was no KK ROMs for 9192. :laugh:
Its been a long time after that and there are quite a few KK ROMs for the 9192 now.
Right now am using the Carbon KitKat ROM (4.4.4) [link in my signature]
Thanks anyway for the reply :good:
Hey Guys
I'm a Newbie in Android stuff
I've Got a Note 10.1 2014 edition today and I was under the impression that the KK 4.4.2 update has been rolled out for it. read about it and watched a couple of KK video reviews. but now I see that it was P605 the LTE version!
unfortunately I bought the 3G version SM-P601 with the Baseband version of : P601XXUBMJ8 supposed to be for UAE I guess! not sure...
I checked in the firmware section in samsung website and saw that for some P601 devices like Indian versions, the 4.4.2 update is out!
is it possible for me to get those on my device without having to root?! and if yes, how?!
tnx in advance
Did you try the ota update check on your tablet? What does it say? I had to run the update from my pc. You can try that too. If both oc this fails you can update via odin if you can get your hands on the update file ... Usually a zip file.
Sent from my X9006 using Tapatalk
yea, I checked on both PC an Tablet updates both said the firmware is up to date!
I can download the zip file for other basebands, but I'm afraid flashing that would cause problems...
anyone can guide me what to do?
and this is from samsung firmware website
I Guess I can download Indian or Chinese 4.4.2 but can I have it on my tab with odin with no problem?
Ok! I can't post the image!

of course no !! ..needs lots of work plus i9195 sources are not even there
Thanks for your reply...
Sad to read this!
I have a i9192 and I just would like to have android 4.4.x on my device, but the original made by Samsung.
The CM variant has several bugs and personally I don't like the stock android appearance.

Just wait then
Sooner or later Samsung will update I9192 to KitKat
They did not finish with LTE variant, only 2 countries + Vodafone carrier did update to KK

Sadly no Samsung does not "confirm" or "infirm" anything . But we should wait and see
Well if u consider an answer from a Samsung rep a confirmation then yes . I asked 1 month ago on samsung chat and he replied that yes it is planned but he does not have a timeframe ( standard answer )
So is it possible to install i9195 stock firmware to i9190? Odin gives error.

You will BRICK your phone if you try that.
Purchased a Note 3 Neo in Hong Kong last year.
Model Number: SM-N7505
Android Version: 4.3
Baseband Version: N7505ZHUAND2
Currently running:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/29517/N7505ZHUAND2_N7505ZZHAND2_TGY/
KNOX is already flipped, so I don't care.
Browsing http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N7505/, I see that there are some 4.4.2 for various regions, but I need to have a 4.4.2 base in order to install a custom ROM correct?
I get a "Device has been modified. Software updates are not available" message when clicking "Check for Updates" - so my assumption is I'm going to have to do this manually? But do I just need to wait?

I posted the question but I didn't find an answer to this, yet.
I would flash the newest firmware for the N7505 (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/43318/N7505XXUCOB1_N7505OXXCOB1_BGL/) and then the modem for Europe (N7505XXUCNG2).
But I don't know if this is possible?!
