DISCLAIMER/FYI
- Sammobile stopped providing free downloads for this device and only available to Sammobile Premium Members.
- I am aware that other locations/websites offer one or more of the following Firmware/PIT files. I'm providing them all in one place to help others out in obtaining them.
- Due tot he size of the Firmware Files, the PIT Files are only available on the Downloads area of the DevDB.
- Any process (like updating your modem) via Odin/TWRP/CWM is simple/easy to do but, as always, if your not sure of what your doing and don't do your research (ie... searching, asking questions, etc... first), then you take the risk of damaging your device.
- I take no responsibility for any unexpected results or damage that may happen but, I am always willing to provide assistance to help you out.
- Also keep in mind that when performing any unconventional updates, unlocking, rooting, etc... you may end up "voiding your warranty"!
INSTRUCTIONS
1. If not already done, be sure your PC/LPTP has the latest "Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones" installed.
2. Download the Firmware and extract the ".tar.md5" file needed from one of the download links (below).
3. Reboot your device in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons).
4. Connect the USB cable to the Device and PC.
5. Open Odin and select the PDA/AP and choose the ".tar.md5" Firmware file you downloaded.
{Please Note: It's typically reccomended to use Odin v3.09-v3.12 (other versions may also work).
6. In Odin, please be sure not to make any additional selections than the default that was already selected when you opened Odin.
{Please Note: ONLY if using a PIT file, be sure you select the "re-partition" option.
7. Select "Start" at the bottom & be patient for the process to complete as it can take some time for Odin to finish. Once Finished, Odin should reflect a Green "PASS" when completed (The device will also reboot automatically when done).

In case anyone was interested, I had just uploaded the USB driver for the Samsung devices to my File Host Account.
The following link takes you there. It's for Windows OS and I also had Zipped it up to help reduce the size (all you have to do is unzip it for the software).
Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones v1.5.65.0 {05-22-2017} - Android File Host
I believe that this is the latest version released in May 2017 but, if anyone knows where there's a more recent release than the v1.5.65.0, please let me know.
I hope this is helpful for you!
Thank you very much and, as always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Enjoy!!!

Try this...
Place the Firmware in the AP.
Place the PIT file where the PIT file goes.
Only select the Re-partition and the Auto Reboot option.
That Should work.

I've gotta admit that sometimes I've been amazed myself at some of the most odd actions, processes, etc... have revived as well as killed devices that you would never have even imagined.
I'm just happy to see that your all set and the best of luck with your device!

S4 verizon problem
Hi, I have a phone model SCH-I545(jfltevwz) with android 4.4.2
originally the hostspot option does not work by different simcards, nor the usb tethering option.
do you guess it would solve if I change the Firmware to last version?

if you agree, is it required to change the recovery?

The guidance that I would recommend is all based upon your Yes or No answer for the following question.
Do you have a Custom Recovery (ie... TWRP, CWM, etc...) installed to indicate that your Bootloader is, in fact, Unlocked?
Don't worry about your answer because either answer is not a wrong or bad one. Your answer would only allow me to provide you with the appropriate steps based upon your setup.

What do you mean by the Recovery File?
Are you referring to the Pit File?
