How to Flash Jelly Bean 4.3 ZNUANC2 on Galaxy S4 TD-LTE GT-I9507V

Today is the day your Galaxy S4 TD-LTE GT-I9507V receives Android 4.3. Every time you will use this operating system, you will notice how much better it performs, how many new apps it receives and so on. Allow your handset to be updated to it and you’ll see how much of a difference this procedure makes!

The new ZNUANC2  just came out this month for China. It’s the firmware which we are about to use for today’s upgrade. If your phone is not the Samsung GT-I9507V, use a different tutorial instead of this one. That’s due to the fact that the firmware in questions is only available for the model we mentioned just now.

If the Android 4.3 is on your smartphone, you will experience many novelties. They range from new features and customization possibilities to options that improve the phone’s performance.

The firmware which helps update your device is not featured with an activated KIES logo. Because you won’t be able to use this option of update, don’t forget you can have a go at it with OTA. To use it, the handset must have stock ROM among its features.

When this OS, or any other version, appears on a rooted phone, some consequences will come up. This means the following: revoked root access and a deleted system partition. But your smartphone’s important content and internal / external SD cards will stay on it as usual.Galaxy-S4-GT-I9507V
