• use this guide only with the International Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE model number I9505.

• enable USB Debugging for your device from the Developer Option menu.

• if you have Samsung KIES software installed on your computer, then you will have to disable it.
  – also, disable any antivirus app from running.
• ODIN 3.09 is the app that you will use to update your phone and KIES along with antivirus apps might not allow it to run, so it would be better for you to disable them before starting installation.
• if your Galaxy S4 LTE is rooted, then the official Android 5.0.1 Lollipop firmware installation is going to remove root access completely.
  – any custom Recovery that you might have installed on your device will be removed completely too and replaced with Stock Recovery image.

  – without applying ‘factory reset’ for phones with custom ROMs you cannot install any new firmware files.
• if your Galaxy S4 LTE is running stock Android 4.4.x KitKat, then this update will be completed without problems and you won’t risk losing any data in the process.
• in case you still need to save some data from installed applications, then you can try to use the Helium tool for Android tool.
  – Contacts and People details need to be synced with your default Gmail account.
