This is the latest generic, unbranded, firmware for the UK...

Model: GT-I9505
Model name: GALAXY S4 LTE
Country: United Kingdom
Version: Android 4.4.2
Changelist: 481100
Build date: Thu, 13 Feb 2014 11:47:45 +0000
Product Code: BTU
PDA: I9505XXUFNB8
CSC: I9505BTUFNB3
MODEM: I9505XXUFNB8

This NB8 release is older than the EE, NC4, build. You can flash this using the instructions contained in the link #1.5 of http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s4/760098-28-galaxy-s4-models-know-yours.html#post6580830

Alternatively, you could flash the generic, unbranded, German firmware, NE5...

Model: GT-I9505
Model name: GALAXY S4 LTE

I'm afraid that SamMobile is your best bet.
