In recent days, Samsung began releasing updates for Galaxy S4 version 4.3 of Android. The news comes to both versions quad-core LTE as well as the apparatus with octa-core Exynos processor.
The process, however, as it should be, is gradual. That is, the innovation will be released gradually, reaching virtually every country at a time. Owners Brazilian Galaxy S4, for example, have not yet been covered by the news.
This, however, does not mean you have to go without the update. This is because some users from abroad, such as Germany and South Korea, already received the new version of the operating system – and drew the original ROM so that everyone who wants to can install it.
Thus, it is possible through a tool called Odin, install the new version of Android manually, practically forcing your S4 to receive the news. We, the Tecmundo, did this whole process. Check out
Warning

installing alternative ROMs, the process to insert this new version of the operating system on your laptop is quite risky. Remember that, despite being the official ROM from Samsung, still serious problems can occur, such as the destruction of their Galaxy S4. Thus, the entire process is at your own risk.
Additionally, this update completely replaces the operating system installed on your device. That means all your information will be lost , since the memory is completely erased. There’s also the chance you’ll lose the warranty of your gadget, so think ahead to anticipate the installation
