I had the latest rom installed from here and now there is an update from verizon that fails to install(Phone rooted). What should I do or is there a newer build availble to us rooted users?
You would have to un-root, update, and then re-root. That is the fastest way.
You are getting an update from vzw for your s4?

How would I un root? And no, it is on a S3.
There was some mention of an upcoming update in this thread:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/42938-heads-up-att-verizon-s-iv-owners/
Just checked myself and don't see any new Software updates.

Your questions would be better asked in the S3 forum, then.
I would not take any updates. Verizon and Att are surely going to block loki and you could be stuck without a root method.

If You Are on 3 network in Ireland/England then please reply.
I've read that some ppl on 3 network have gotten s3 updates already and im still on the stock update, does anyone know about the release dates for the updates on 3?
Are you still running the stock firmware or have you rooted your device? For reference, if it's rooted, you will no longer receive OTA updates and will have to install them yourself.

Call Three. They are a bit notorious for slow sendout of OTA updates.

Forget about otas and flash the firmware yourself, its the only way to have the latest firmware available.

Not until they put out an official UK release of 4.1.2. Just flash one of the available ones from the development section or using ODIN for an official release, just change your CSC if you really need to
If you dont know what you are doing, you should just wait for the official UK one to come out.
I thought it was already out via OTA in the U.K?

Do not accept it. Its to patch the root exploit. They did the same to the gs4

If you took the update can you try the one click root in dev. Interested in seeing if it still works.

yea, we won't really know if this is a root exploit patch until someone takes the hit.
Its been confirmed by multiple people that the update does not address root or loki.

Yes...it doesn't patch root. If you are rooted and do not have a custom recovery installed. You can accept the update and it does nothing. If you have TWRP installed, you need to flash the stock recovery, accept the update and then flash back to TWRP after.

From what Google says its been halted in the UK to iron out serious bugs

Why is everyone so excited abt 4.3 ota? Wait for a week after it is released. Search google. If there isnt any bugs. Then install it.

are you trying OTA or Kies upgrade... it only means not yet available in your region.
you can try upgrading using odin.
Just a heads up, the new OTA that At&t released has an updated bootloader.

Why didn't att just play nice and update to V3? Instead they update To V4 so I can't flip flop between t-mobile firmware and there's. Does root still work? On the other hand, I can flash Verizon firmware I guess.

I haven't attempted rooting it, and I won't be. There might be a small chance that it may work but I'm not sure.

Well ... if root doesn't work I know what my next firmware will be. (Tmobile)
I can't root, looks like it's back to the drawing board. It figures this happen as soon as I feel it necessary to root my device......
I advise everyone to not take any OTAs after the first August patch so you can still be able to root and flash roms. It isn't a problem for me since I wasn't planning on rooting this phone again anyways..

Pretty sure the eng boot will still work on the new BL, just no old ROMs. :^)

@raremind couldn't root on BL4. It's unfortunate how we can't root on API2, but if the developers are willing to find out a new way to gain root access on API2, then it wouldn't be the end of the world for anyone who wants the latest OTA but still want root.

I took the OTA to get the latest version, so unfortunately I don't have the actual firmware link.

Yeahhh, thought I'd give it a go
G930U firmware was just updated to API3 which has the incremented bootloader, so the individuals who updated to the latest AT&T firmware can use U firmware now. :victory:
