Samsung Galaxy S 4 (Exynos Octa) GT-I9500 Firmware Overview
What is the latest GT-I9500 firmware?
I9500ZCUIQD1, released June 20, 2017 with Android 5.0.1. The archive holds 20 official builds across 12 regions (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy S 4 (Exynos Octa) still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since June 2017, so Android 5.0.1 is the last version this model got. The final builds below are still the best choice for a clean reinstall.

The GT-I9500 builds in the archive run Android 4.1–4.3 to 5.0.1. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 5.0.1: I9500XXUHPK1 (Feb 2017), 17 builds in total
