[Q] Kitkat update - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I have a Samsung S4 Mini Duos i9192 running 4.2.2
I also have a macbook, but can access a windows laptop if needed.
I wanted to know how to upgrade my phone to the official 4.4.2
I dont get any updates in kies or ota.
The phone has never been rooted. I want to install the stock kitkat.
Please help me.

Oh right, sorry!

No apps to external SD card anymore.
Recently Samsung updated my S4 mini I9195 to KitKat (v442), from JellyBean (v422).
With JB I could move apps and docs to my extSD, now I can't any more, only official Google apps are allowed.
My phone is not rooted and my question is:
Is there a way to bypass this restriction? For instance using BusyBox Pro (No Root), but how?
Can anybody help? TIA to all

Go to Sammobile.com and click the Firmwares tab at the top. Search for T310 and scroll down then choose the one that says "Cellular South".
Just to Confirm that SM-T310 is the WIFI only Tablet. This ROM "Cellular South" is the US ROM to the WIFI only SM-T310 tablet ?

Not sure why they only seem to release the Cellular South firmware, but yes, it is the correct firmware. We used the Cellular South version for the T210R as well.

Awesome! Thanx I will Download it and give it a whirl.
Anyone know of a mirror site I can download the stock SM T310 ? I've tried sammobile.com, but after a few minutes, the download has a "fatal error" and then aborts. I've already tried 3 times and the download usually aborts after the first 80MB.

I did do searches for stockrom t310, but they all point to sammobile.
I want to be able to upgrade to KitKat, so I need the stock rom. (I don't want to experiment with non Samsung ROM's)

Requesting for Stock ROM for Samsung Galaxy Grand GT-I9082 (INU)

Please someone provide direct download link of the Stock ROM of Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos GT-I9082 with the Indian Product Code - INU along with the required/recommended version of ODIN and proper step by step guidance to flash it from Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean (Build XXUBNB2).
My device is running too slow and sometimes it's becoming crazy (like Display, looking and behaving quite oppositely. Suppose, you're looking at the reflection of your Smartphone's display in a mirror. Though, rarely it's happening, but it's happening at least!).
Please help. Thanks.

[Q] Want to downgrade from Kit-kat to 4.3, is it possible?

Hello,
I have a S4 Mini LTE that I have upgraded to Kit-kat 2 days ago. I discovered today that I can no longer write to the external SD-Card... so bye-bye copying my mp3 to it to listen while commuting...
How can I get back to 4.3? My phone is not rooted, and still under warranty...
Thanks for any help!
Downgrade is not possible.
But your SD problem can be solved very easy:
- root with Towelroot v3
- install SuperSU
- install SDFix
No Knox counter tripped, no warranty lost

OK ... I have KK 4.4.2. I will put this FW: "ZTO-4.2.2-I9195UBUBNE2 Brazil"
but after this procedure....! If I want to put an custom FW on 4.2.2 it is possible? ex: ML1 by radislov
use my files stock file manager
Kit kat just limits 3rd party apps from writing to external SD. But the stock file manager "My FIles" can still do it.
So if you just need to transfer your music then just use the my files app that came with your phone.
But I am wondering:
Can I just use odin and flash the last Jelly Bean update and replace my kitkat upgrade?

Device: i9192 Duos
To downgrade to 4.2.2 I have to do with a rom that has the same knox version in I9192SERCNG2_SER.
Which one?
Can anyone help escape this Kit Kat?

My problems with kk were two:
No more Text Reflow (solved with UC BROWSER).
Third-party apps not more writing on the SDCARD (this problem can be solved with root)
I decided not to go back to JB.
Also While using KK in 9192 I noticed better performance, etc..:good:
i need help
