Update T-Mobile Galaxy S4 to Android 4.4.4 KitKat & Root It

Rakesh | 19 Sep 2014 | ROMs/ Root/ Samsung

The Samsung Galaxy S4 received the Android 4.4.2 KitKat firmware update long ago and now Samsung has started rolling the latest version of the OS to the Galaxy S4 and S5. If you own the T-Mobile Galaxy S4 SGH-M919 think yourself lucky as the TMO S4 has become one of the first devices to get the latest Android 4.4.4 update. The update is not a major one, but it brings a bunch of bug fixes and goodies like Wi-Fi calling for better performance.

The users of the device have already confirmed receiving the OTA. However, if you have yet got a system software update notification you can request it from Settings> About device> Software update. For those who have a rooted galaxy S4 or those who are unable to get the update for some reason, we have firmware file itself. You can download the Android 4.4.4 KitKat firmware for the T-Mobile Galaxy S4 below and install it using the good old Odin method.

In case you are shrinking from updating your Galaxy S4 to Android 4.4.4 for fear of losing root access, you need not worry at all as we have also found a way to gain root access on the TMO Galaxy S4 running the latest software with version M919UVUFNH7.

Warning!

The firmware installation procedure described below is very easy yet not free of risks. By rooting your Galaxy S4, you’ll void its warranty. Follow the guide at your own responsibility.

Preparations

  • Download the Android 4.4.4 KitKat firmware for  T-Mobile Galaxy S4: M919UVUFNH7_M919TMBFNH7_TMB.zip  
  • Download Odin 3.0.9: Odin3 v3.09.zip 
  • Download and install Samsung USB Drivers on your computer if you do have them already.
  • Enable USB Debugging on your Galaxy S4. If you do not know how to do so, read the instructions given here.
  • Create a backup of your apps and important data.

Update T-Mobile Galaxy S4 to Android 4.4.4 Using Odin

  1.  Unzip the firmware package file that you download from above.
  2. Also extract the Odin zip.
  3. Put your Galaxy S4 in Download Mode. To do so, turn off the device and hold the Volume Down + Home + Power buttons together for 2-3 seconds. When you see the warning screen, press the Volume Up key to continue to the Download Mode.
  4. Now launch the Odin tool and connect your phone using the stock USB cable. Wait till your device is detected in Odin. A successful connection is indicated by blue color at the ID:COM port and “Added!!” text on the message box.
  5. Make sure that only F. Reset Time and Auto Reboot option are selected on Odin.
  6. Now click the AP button and select M919UVUFNH7_M919TMBFNH7_TMB.tar.md5.
  7. Finally, click the Start button to initiate firmware installation which usually takes about 2-4 minutes to finish.cf-root-odin
  8. At the completion of the installation, you’ll see PASS! message on Odin.
  9. Your Galaxy S4 will reboot automatically.

Done! You can now unplug the USB cable. Just wait till the device boots up and enjoy Android 4.4.4 on your T-Mobile Galaxy S4 SGH-M919.

Root T-Mobile Galaxy S4 on Android 4.4.4 (NH7)

Having updated your T-Mobile Galaxy S4, if you also plan to root the device on the new software, you can do so easily using Chainfire’s CF-Auto-Root which is flashed using Odin using the same steps that you followed while installing the ROM.

  1. Download the CF-Root package and unzip it: CF-Auto-Root-jfltetmo-jfltetmo-sghm919.zip
  2. Enable USB Debugging again (see Preparations above).
  3. Launch Odin (provided in the CF-Root) package.
  4. Boot your phone into the Download Mode.
  5. Connect the device to the computer.
  6. Click PDA button and select CF-Auto-Root-jfltetmo-jfltetmo-sghm919.tar.md5.
  7. Then hit the Start button.
  8. Wait till the file is flashed and your phone reboots.

When the device boots up, open the app drawer and look for SuperSU app there. If the app is present, your device has been rooted successfully. If you notice KNOX issue with root access, see the tips given here. You can verify root access using the Root Check app from the market:

    Rakesh,
    My S4 4.4.4 is the same version and build as Atin below
    M919UVUFOK3 Build # KTU84P.M919UVUFOK3
    I am a tech moron so most of this is Greek to me. But my phone barely works as it is so loaded with apps and i want to clean it up. The ones I downloaded I have uninstalled. Still no space
    I have already tried Kingroot w/o luck. I would like to follow your directions but there are several areas confusing to me. May I PM you if I have questions?
    Thanks

        Well, quite a number of things actually. Not sure exactly where to start as I am not certain exactly where my phone is in the process since I already tried to root using Kingroot which I cannot seem to completely remove now. My phone is already 4.4.4 so guessing I can skip the prep and update steps and go straight to root, Is there anything I should check to make sure everything is “in place” or not blocking the root process, before beginning?
        You write “you can do so easily using Chainfire’s CF-Auto-Root which is flashed using Odin using the same steps that you followed while installing the ROM.” To begin with, I don’t know what flashing (in this sense) is nor how to proceed. That would be step 1, question one.

        Smooth until step 6 “Click PDA button and select CF-Auto-Root-jfltetmo-jfltetmo-sghm919.tar.md5” there is no PDA button. There is an AP button but nothing to select once checked.

        OK I finally figured out that I downloaded the latest version of Odin and not v3.09 (which I have now downloaded) Questions now are
        1. If my phone is running version 4.4.4 I can skip the download firmware step, right?
        2. I’m not sure how to or if I need to complete this step “If it is a zip file, extract it to get the firmware file with .tar.md5 extension. If you want to flash a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP, it might have either .tar or .tar.md5 extension”
        3. Lastly, I got to Step 8, followed your directions w/ lovely screenshot and checked the AP box. Your next step is “Navigate to the firmware or recovery file and select the file with .tar/.tar.md5 extension”
        How? Where do I navigate?
        There is nothing in the box next to the checked AP.

        Thanks – almost there and learning so much!

    Hi. I have an SGH-I337 running 4.4.2. The firmware is AT&T stock. It is a replacement for a fubar T-Mobile SGH-M919. The new 337 is unlocked. It works fine with a T-Mobile SIM, except it lacks the WiFi calling feature, which I believe is baked into the T-Mobile version of the OS. I need that feature because I spend an unfortunate amount of time in places where there is no cell signal.

    Forgive if this is an ignorant question, but after several hours I cannot find an answer.

    The procedure described here does not work for me, presumably because I’m trying to replace A&T firmware with TMB firmware. Odin gives the following error:

    File analysis..
    SetupConnection..
    Initialzation..
    Get PIT for mapping..
    Firmware update start..
    SingleDownload.
    aboot.mbn
    NAND Write Start!!
    FAIL! (Auth)

    Complete(Write) operation failed.
    All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

    Does anyone have any suggestions, or am I SOL?

    Thanks.

      Hi Sean, since you got a SGH-I337 (AT&T), you can’t install a firmware on it that’s meant for the SGH-M919 (TMO) or any other variant of the S4.

    Just wanted to let others know not to panic on some things. I did. Here’s how it went for me using the instructions above.

    My phone seemed to be in a loop reboot about 4 or 5 times. Then it got to a Samsung logo. It might have rebooted again at that point. After that, it booted all the way to my t-mobile logo. I personally started to panic as it seemed frozen on this screen for at least a good minute. After a very scary period of time, the phone then moved to a screen that said “Android is upgrading…” and showed it upgrading all my apps, and contacts. Finally, my main screen. Background the same as I had before. Took longer than normal for my phone to do all the normal boot up things like weather app to show current weather, etc, but it finally stopped. Everything seems to be working well! The only thing I see different is my battery icon seems to have changed from green to white.

    I’ll re-post once I try the root method as all my apps are still updating currently.

        yup, I enabled USB Debugging and done the mentioned procedure. Even though the upgrade failed,for my goodness phone is working fine still. I have downloaded odin 3.10 from the link you provided. Let me know wil there be any problem if I do it again ?

          Well, flashing a stock firmware in Odin is one of the easiest things to do. I have flashed my phones a hundred times without getting into any problem.

          There’s no reason why it would not go smoothly for you if you do things carefully. Use the stock USB cable, disable and re-enable debugging, reboot system and try again.

    Hi Rakesh,

    I have SGH M919 with device status as “custom” and Baseband Version as M919UVUEMK2 with Build Number JSS15J.M919UVUEMK2. Can I update it to 4.4.4 with this TMB firmware.

    Will this method work on a rooted Verizon S4, Model #SCH-1545? I’m trying to figure out how to update to 4.4.4 as the Verizon push fails likely due to prior removal of bloatware

      Hi Hannah,

      It will not work. Since you say you are unable to get the OTA because you removed some system app, try to get back to the stock NG6 firmware and then take the 4.4.4 OTA.

          Then you’ll have to wait, I’m afraid. Since I am not sure is the CF-Root for SGH-M919 will work for SGH-M919N, I can’t recommend you anything risky.

            I was rooted before running on custom roms then i heard about official kitkat for mpcs and flashed back to stock. Since we got this update very late i feel like developers wont bother finding out how to root this device 🙁
            Can you try speaking to anyone that might help or making a request to developers if its possible?

            I havent, but ill try to give it ago when i have time. For the link you gave me, do i just plugin my device or i go into download mode. Instructions werent that specific. Also, if the rooting exploits dont work will it brick my device?

            You need not boot into download mode. Just enable usb debugging, plug the cable and run it.

            Since none of the exploits included in Mashup tool messes with bootloader or kernel, it won’t pose risk of bricking.

      It’s a no-wipe firmware that means it should not wipe your apps and data. However, we would still recommend backing up things as precaution. You can use these apps to keep it safe!
