I was informed today that Verizon is pushing out the new Ota already. If you haven't gotten it you will soon. 2 questions....
1. Do we have to Odin back to stock to receive the update?
2. Will there have to be a new process to root after we accept the ota?
Should this have gone under the Q and A?

I think this has already been discussed. The nee ota is nothing more than the search feature dumbing down and a new baseband+kernel. I believe you can root this with the current method. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Why mess up your root? Just give it some time and the devs will probably have the update rooted and ready to flash with Odin !
Can anybody confirm that these will not auto-install?
On my HTC Incredible, I would just hit install later, but the popup would come back every 15 minutes.. very annoying!
Soon as the update comes out I will have a fully deodexed rooted zipaligned version available.
If I can figuire it out, I will also make an Odin image out of it.

No one does. But literally its as simple as putting the old search apk back into the new rom or ota. Nothing to be worried about

I love how Samsung and Verizon take so long to release updates - except when it's to take away the features on your phone. They get those out pretty quickly.
Does this OTA have any benefit??

I don't remember where I read this but you have to freeze FWUpdate.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
It's been pretty well established how to restore proper search functionality. The real question should be what do the kernel and radios do? Any improvements in reception or battery life? Any improvements in device performance? And most importantly, does this change anything regarding bootloader unlocking research and work-arounds?

Update should fail anyway if you don't have a stock recovery. They generally require a stock recovery to update the phone.

I consistently get -75 to -85 dbm so I really don't think there is a reception issue with the 4G radio for me. Now the WiFi is awful for me. That could be improved. GPS is sick.... I lock on in about half a second

I wouldn't think so. Otherwise, if it does when an ota comes around, try looking in the settings. I doubt it will warn you every hr though. Don't know and won't know soon unless verizon actually releases the ota on time

You should never use *228 on an lte device. It usually cooks the sim card. I would go to stock and probably get a new sim now. A ROM usually can't affect signal unless it's an AOSP ROM, but if that's the only variable changed then it would make sense to undo it.

Saturday I got a Galaxy s4 on VRUAME7
I rooted it with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43994323
This morning I accidentally accepted a update that was pushed through (I thought my phone was going to brick) luckily it came back up and I am now on DMI1.
I verified that I have lost my root and now I just want root access back even if it's on 4.2.2 I don't care. Can anyone please advise me how to proceed? I just use root access for one purpose and just need root access for 1 program.
Given the history mentioned above does anyone know if this method will work for me to get my current firmware rooted?

I was on CleanRom ACE 5.0 I think. Then I deleted my EFS data from within the service menu. Then I couldn't get a cell signal.
Today I flashed back to a stock I605VRAMC3 using ODIN. That didn't fix it.
Can you please point me in the right direction on how to fix this?
I've read the forum for about 3 hours and can't find the answer.

No, I have twrp installed on my phone, but didn't make a backup on this phone.
I don't think I have any saved backups from older phones either.
Is there a file I can copy to my phone or ADB commands to make it work?
I've seen a few posts where people ask for the EFS files, maybe there are three of them?
I don't know what the result of those requests were.

Thanks! I had replaced my Note 2 in December using my assurian insurance with $100 deductible. So I called them today and told 'DonTrey' what happened. He said they'd send me a new phone for free so I didn't argue.
It should get here tomorrow. Are there any issues flashing to the latest ROMs? Which one would you recommend?
Depends on what firmware is installed when you get it. If it's completely locked down then safestrap will give you root but no custom roms as of yet. I prefer meanbean but that's just my opinion. I run meanbean reborn v0.9 It's so smooth and battery life is the best. But again just my 2 cents.

OK thanks Macasus, I might try that meanbean. Is it a 4.4 or 4.3 Touchwiz based ROM? I saw some ROMs that included some stuff from the Note 3. I might try some of them out.
I'll do some reading and find out how to tell if my new phone is completely locked down. That would suck. I'm hoping it will arrive today.
I have a week of vacation, and of course I have to deal with my phone for half of it. I'm almost ready to jump ship and get an iPhone. j/k
