Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 LTE G313 SM-G313F Firmware (Flash File) Drivers, Tools & Guide
Flashing Samsung firmware using Odin is a standard procedure once you understand the correct steps. This guide provides the necessary files and instructions to restore your Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 LTE G313 SM-G313F to its original state.
Before you begin, remove any Samsung account from the device. Failing to do so triggers Knox security, which can lead to a locked bootloader. Also, verify that the firmware file contains AP, BL, CP, and CSC components after extracting the ZIP archive.
Currently, only one firmware build is available for the Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 LTE G313 SM-G313F. This stock ROM is suitable for recovery, unbricking, or bypassing FRP locks. The device runs Android 4.4.2 (KitKat) and relies on Qualcomm hardware. The Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 LTE G313 SM-G313F was originally released in 2014, which means USB driver compatibility on newer Windows versions may require manual installation rather than plug-and-play.
Released in 2014, the Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 LTE G313 SM-G313F uses a multi-file system (AP, BL, CP, CSC) specific to Odin flashing. This page is maintained with the latest available firmware builds as they become available. Ensure you use the correct firmware for your device model.
The Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 LTE G313 SM-G313F firmware comes as a compressed ZIP file. Download and extract it using WinRAR or 7-Zip. After extraction, look for files named AP_*.tar.md5, BL_*.tar.md5, CP_*.tar.md5, and CSC_*.tar.md5 (or HOME_CSC_*.tar.md5). If these files are missing, you have the wrong firmware package.
Flashing wipes all data on the device. This process returns the phone to factory settings, which fixes software corruption, bootloops, and performance issues.
Factory Reset Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 LTE G313 SM-G313F Without a PC
To perform a factory reset without a computer, turn off the device completely. Hold Volume Up + Power simultaneously until the recovery menu appears. Use the volume keys to navigate to “Wipe Data/Factory Reset” and confirm with the Power button.
A hard reset erases all data and restores Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 LTE G313 SM-G313F to its original factory state. This fixes most software problems, including slow performance, app crashes, forgotten screen locks, and bootloops. If the issue persists after a factory reset, a full firmware flash using Odin is covered in the following sections.
Bypass Google Lock on Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 LTE G313 SM-G313F
The fastest way to bypass FRP on Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 LTE G313 SM-G313F is to use a free Android apps launcher that allows access to settings during the setup wizard. After flashing or performing a factory reset, you may see a Google account lock (FRP). Our free Android apps launcher is the quickest method to get past it. This is also why I always recommend removing your Google account before flashing, it avoids this problem entirely.
Why Flash Stock ROM on Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 LTE G313 SM-G313F?

How to Pick the Correct Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 LTE G313 SM-G313F Firmware
The most common mistake people make is flashing firmware meant for a different variant. Before downloading anything, verify your exact device identity:
- Identify Your Exact Model Number: Go to Settings › About Phone and note your full model number (e.g. SM-G313F). The letter suffix matters, U/U1 = USA, W = Canada, N = Korea, B/F = International/Global. Flashing firmware built for a different variant can cause issues.
- Match the CSC (Region): The 3-letter region code in the firmware filename must match your device. Check Settings › About Phone › Software Information for your current CSC, or look at the Service Provider line in Download Mode. Common codes: XAA (US), BTU (UK), INS (India), SER (Russia).
- Check the Binary Level: Look at the version string in your current firmware (e.g.
XXU9BZDP, the number after the letters is the binary level). You cannot downgrade to a lower binary level. If your device is on Binary 9, only flash Binary 9 or higher firmware. - Confirm the Build Date: The last 4 characters of the PDA version encode the build date, first character is the year (A=2024, B=2025, C=2026), second is the month (A=Jan through L=Dec).
- Verify in Download Mode: Power off, hold Volume Down + Power to enter Download Mode. This screen shows your exact model, CSC, and current firmware version, use this to confirm before flashing.

Which Firmware Version Should I Download?
Use this table to find the right file based on your specific situation:
| Your Situation | What I Recommend |
|---|---|
| Phone is completely dead or stuck on logo | XXU0ANI1, download this one. It is the latest Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 LTE G313 SM-G313F firmware available. |
| FRP / Google account lock only | See the FRP bypass guide above, you likely do not need the full firmware for this. |
| Not sure which region/CSC to download | Check Settings › About Phone › Software Information for your current CSC, or enter Download Mode (Volume Down + Power), it shows the CSC on screen. Match the 3-letter code (e.g. XAA, BTU, INS) to the firmware filename. |
| Phone slow after a recent OTA update | Try the next older version, sometimes the latest OTA introduces new bugs and an older build runs better. Make sure the binary level is the same or higher than what your device currently has. |
| IMEI missing after a previous flash | Re-flash XXU0ANI1 first, then follow the IMEI repair guide. Do not skip the reflash. |
| XXU0ANI1 failed with a flash error | Try the next older version instead and double-check your AP/BL/CP/CSC file assignments in Odin before assuming the firmware is the problem. |
| Restoring to factory / warranty repair | XXU0ANI1, clean state, fresh start. |
To compare firmware versions, look at the last 4 characters of the PDA version string (e.g. S938BXXU9CZDP). The first character is the year (A=2024, B=2025, C=2026), the second is the month (A=Jan, B=Feb… L=Dec, Z=final stable), and the last two are the revision (0-9 then A-Z, where Z is highest). However, always check the binary level first: the digit just before the date code (e.g. XXU9CZDP = Binary 9). You cannot downgrade to a lower binary level. If your device is on Binary 9, only flash Binary 9 or higher. Also make sure the 3-letter CSC code in the firmware matches your device region.

Prepare Your Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 LTE G313 SM-G313F for Flashing
Go through this list before you open Odin for the Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 LTE G313 SM-G313F. Two things that commonly cause problems with Samsung devices: a Samsung account that was not signed out before flashing, which can trigger KG lock, and a USB cable that works for charging but drops the connection mid-flash. Always use a proper data cable, not a charge-only cable.
- Save Your IMEI Numbers: Type *#06# in the phone dialer and note down both numbers. These are your device identifiers for the cellular network. If flashing wipes them, you will need the originals to write them back.
- Disconnect Google Accounts: Before you start anything, remove all Google accounts from the phone. Settings then Accounts then tap each Google account and remove it. This avoids the FRP verification screen that appears after flashing if accounts were still linked.
- Remove Samsung Accounts: Sign out of all Samsung accounts to avoid KG lock.
- Create a Backup: Copy your data to your computer or an SD card. Flashing replaces the entire software on the phone, which means all personal data, apps, and settings will be permanently deleted.
- Charge First: Get the battery above 50% before starting. The flashing process takes a few minutes and the first boot takes several more. A power failure during either stage can leave the device in a state that requires more advanced recovery.
- Prepare Your PC Connection: You need a Windows computer and a USB cable that supports data transfer. Test the cable first by connecting the phone normally, if it shows up in File Explorer, the cable is good.
- Install the Right Drivers:
Install Stock Firmware on Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 LTE G313 SM-G313F
We are using Odin for this. A quick tip: keep “Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time” both checked in Odin, those two options together give you the cleanest flash result. If you are not sure which Odin version to use, check our Odin versions page. Some older Samsung devices work better with older Odin builds.

- Extract the archive with WinRAR or 7-Zip. Use a short folder path like
D:flashto avoid issues with some tools.
- Check Drivers:
- All drivers from the prerequisites must be installed before connecting your device. Restart your computer after installing them.
- Load the Firmware File:
- In Odin, click “BL” and select the BL_*.tar.md5 file. Click “AP” and select the AP_*.tar.md5 file. Repeat for “CP” and “CSC”. Use HOME_CSC to keep data, or CSC for a clean flash.
- Connect Your Device:
- Enter Download Mode: Turn off your phone, then hold Volume Down + Power (add Home button on older models) until the warning screen appears. Press Volume Up to confirm and enter Download Mode.
- Connect your phone to your PC via USB. Odin should show “Added..” in the log area, this means your device is detected.
- Start Flashing:
- Press “Start” to begin writing the firmware to your device.
- Do not unplug the phone, close the flash tool, or interact with the device until the process is 100% complete.

- Press the power button to start your device. The initial boot is slow, wait up to 8 minutes before assuming there is a problem.
Video Guide for Flashing
What Is Normal After a Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 LTE G313 SM-G313F Flash?
Here is what is completely normal after a successful flash:
- How to know the flash was successful: Odin will show “PASS.” in green text at the top-left of the log area. If you see this, everything went fine.
- Battery percentage may seem inaccurate for the first day. The battery statistics are calibrated during normal use. Charge the phone fully once without interruption and the readings will stabilize.
- Notification sounds and ringtones will be back to factory defaults. Any custom tones you had set before will need to be re-downloaded and re-assigned in Settings.
- The phone will feel warm during first boot, this is normal. It settles after a few minutes once the initial app setup is complete.
- Stuck in a bootloop after first boot? Enter recovery mode and do a factory reset from there, see the hard reset guide above. This can happen occasionally and does not mean the firmware is wrong.
- Fingerprint and face unlock data are erased during the flash. You will need to re-register your fingerprints and face data from scratch in the security settings.
- Be careful when re-adding your Google account, if you did not remove it before flashing, you may see an FRP prompt. Add it fresh during the setup wizard, not afterwards through Settings.
Common Issues When Flashing Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 LTE G313 SM-G313F
- Odin Shows “FAIL” Instead of “PASS”:
- This is usually a mismatch between the firmware region or model and your device. Confirm your exact model number in Settings › About Phone before selecting the firmware. Even a single letter difference in the model code matters.
- Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 LTE G313 SM-G313F Not Recognized by Odin:
- Reinstall the Samsung USB drivers. Make sure you are in Download Mode. Try a different USB cable, Odin can be sensitive to cable quality.
- KG Lock / Knox Triggered After Flashing:
- This happens when a Samsung account was still signed in before flashing, or when unofficial firmware was used. Always sign out of Samsung accounts before flashing. If KG lock is already active, a professional unlocking tool is generally needed.
- Boot Loop After Flashing:
- Enter recovery mode (Volume Up + Power) and perform a factory reset. This clears any leftover data from the previous firmware that may be causing the conflict.
Missing IMEI or Corrupt Baseband on Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 LTE G313 SM-G313F After Flashing?
A missing IMEI on a Samsung device after flashing usually points to a corrupted EFS partition, this is the partition that stores your IMEI and carrier settings. Note that restoring an IMEI that is not your original number is illegal in most countries, so only do this if you are restoring the number the device had before you flashed. Tools like ChimeraTool or BFT can help with this. Check your local laws before proceeding.

Common Questions About Flashing Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 LTE G313 SM-G313F
Q1: Can I go back to an older firmware version?
A: It is technically possible on some Qualcomm builds, but downgrading can cause security issues and app compatibility problems. If the latest version is causing trouble, leave a comment below, there is usually a better fix than rolling back.
Q2: What should I do if I encounter an FRP lock after flashing?
A: Use our free Android apps launcher. FRP lock activates when a Google account was still signed in before flashing. This is why signing out of your Google account before flashing avoids this issue entirely.
Q3: My IMEI shows “unknown” after flashing. Is my phone permanently damaged?
A: No, it looks alarming, but it is fixable. Follow the IMEI repair guide in the troubleshooting section above. For Samsung devices, check for EFS partition corruption first. Do not insert a SIM card until the IMEI is restored.
Q4: Will flashing erase my data?
A: Yes, flashing with Odin restores the device to factory state, including Android 4.4.2 (KitKat) default settings. All apps, photos, contacts, and accounts will be removed. Back up everything you need before you start. There is no way to recover data once the flash is complete.
Q5: Can I use a Mac or Linux computer for this?
A: Samsung firmware can be flashed using Heimdall on Linux or Mac, but the instructions on this page are written for Odin on Windows. If you only have a Mac, you may want to use a Windows virtual machine or Boot Camp for the most straightforward experience.
Q6: What if the flash fails halfway through?
A: Do not panic and do not disconnect the phone. Close Odin, restart it, and try the flash again from the beginning. In most cases, a failed flash just means the process needs to be repeated. The device is usually still detectable by the flash tool even after a failed attempt.
Q7: Do I need an internet connection during flashing?
A: No. The flashing process is entirely offline, it happens between your PC and the phone via the USB cable. You do not need internet at any point during the flash itself. You will need internet later to set up the phone and download your apps.
Q8: Is this firmware compatible with other Samsung models?
A: No. This firmware is built specifically for the Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 LTE G313 SM-G313F running on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 (MSM8930) chipset. Even variants of the Galaxy Ace 4 LTE G313 with a different letter suffix can have a completely different chipset inside. Flashing the wrong firmware can leave your phone in a state that is very difficult to recover from. Always check your exact model number in Settings.
