I have an S4 which i bought from 2013 using an AT&T contract. Now its unlocked and im using it in a different country with a different SIM card. I have mever received any updates - even when i try to go to settings and do it manually, and even when i try to update it via KIES. It always says that i have the latest firmware.
So last day i contacted a Samsung agent, and he said that it is impossible to update it via OTA if dont have AT&T carrier. But i really want to update it to KITKAT 4.4.2 considering im still stuck on 4.2.2 ...
So last day i saw you can upgrade it using a computer with the official firmware and boot your phone into download mode or something by pressing power key + home + .... and whatnot. But it said that it might cause damage to my phone.
Anyone knows how i can upgrade it without damaging my phone? I would like specific instructions please... also, will my phone be locked again if i do this? Will i lose any data? Thank you.
Ps: baseband version: I337UCUAMF3
