We can now download the official version of Android 4.3 for Samsung Galaxy S4 model GT-I9505 from the firmware download page itself sammobile.com.
This update is considered operator-free, so if you want the one corresponding to that of your national operator, Movistar, Vodafone, Orange o Telstra you will have to wait some time since not available yet at least for Spain.
I say that they are not available at the moment for Spain, because I know that for example Movistar o Telefónica they are already releasing official updates to Android 4.3 in countries like Chile.
If you want to install this new update to Android 4.3 the users of these referred companies, you can also do what you have to count on a cleaning those apps or customizations that your operator has implemented. On the other hand, it is a good way to uninstall and clean the applications that come pre-installed by Movistar, Vodafoneetc etc, especially those hideous startup animations.
Remember that if you are going to update your terminal with this new firmware already official for Spain, you must take certain precautions such as having the terminal with the battery fully charged as well as USB debugging enabled from developer options.
This update is valid only for international models LTE of the Samsung Galaxy S4, better known as model GT-I9505. Before trying to flash this firmware check the terminal model from the settings / about device.

you are wrong, either you upgraded to 4.2.2 or you are free. because yoigo's haven't updated the s4.3 to 4 yet. Yoigo gave a lot of free S4s surely yours is free if you upgraded to 4.3 already. Not even movistar, orange or vodafone have updated the s4 to 4.3 yet
Today the official vodafone is at 4.3
It is in English and other Asian languages and it does not come in Spanish, you have looked good.
I'm sorry to tell you friend that I don't know the file that you have downloaded, but the Link that we have left here is the free operator version published for Spain.
Greetings friend.

The link in the middle of the page does point to the rom that seems to be the Spanish one, the one at the bottom of this page takes you to another page where a different version appears.

Hey.
I have the S4 in movistar and I did not understand a thing. Can I update my mobile by downloading the firmware from the sammobile page or not?
I want to get rid of the movistar apps and if I can do this that would be great.
Of course. When you put the official samsun room, your mobile is as if it were a free one (although it is still not released ehh). For you to know, the Samsung technical service will do it for you for free. They take an hour.
Thanks a lot!!! I have a samsung technical service next to my institute today I will go to vrr what they tell me
Hey.
I have a question, can I update my s4 even if it is from movistar? Will I lose all the movistar apps?
Simon
And how I do it?
It works with the Samsung Galaxy s4 SGH-M919 porfA it works or not… thanks ..
Hello, if I update my Movistar S4 to this free version, in the future will it be automatically updated via OTA to the successive versions that appear?
Thank you.
Of course friend, that as long as you do not root or modify it.

It has happened to me as Miguelo. It turns out that I was installed in English. Now I have downloaded the file in Spanish but when I go to download mode (lower volume + home + power) it doesn't go into download mode like the first time… It just starts up normally (in English). WHAT or how can I do it to install the official rom in Spanish?!?!?
Hello, please, I bought an S4 with an unofficial rom, this spanish rom would be installed by odin ?.
Thank you
Hello, it would work for the s4 lte sgh-i337m
Hello, the update for my s4 has arrived and I have been able to install it, but there has come a time that it tells me that it is installing updates and it has been turned off. Is that more than an hour ago, is it normal?
how long does it usually take?
regards
