Just checking if this is the latest open uk firmware for the s4? I9505XXUEMK8

MI5 · ‎10-01-2014

MK8 is the latest (MK8 is just a small patched update from MK6) which replaced the botched MJ9

Model GT-l9505- Galaxy S 4 LTE
Product code United Kingdom - BTU

Will I still be able to update through kies when any new updates come out ie 4.4 once I have changed from o2 firmware to open firmware? thanks

@MI5 will be able to answer that correctly but I am sure you will be able to update thru Kies

Yes you will as long as you stick to official Samsung ROM's.

Your phone is unlocked isn't it ?

By the way this is the reason I am asking, read this on Sammobile

"My advice is to leave the firmware as it is if you have the working language you need, and the phone works Ok.

Reason?
To change firmware is comparatively easy, but this will stop Kies updating your phone.

To get Kies to update, you then have to change the phone Product Code, and for this you have to root your phone.

After all this, you have a phone with older firmware than when you started. "
