[Q] How to upgrade to 4.3 without losing data? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I am currently on 4.2.2 MDK rooted. I haven't done much except flash AIO Mods for odexed and freeze OTA, and delete TalkBack, GoogleTTS, and SamsungTTS. Someone told me that I can't upgrade due to being rooted. So my question is, how do I update without losing my data? Im willing to give up root too. Make sure that it's noob-friendly too, gingerbread for the X-Play was a lot easier. Thanks in advanced!

Your best bet is to Odin back to stock MDK.

Solution 1: Update the firmware with KIES ans you will have your phone unrooted.
Solution 2: Use the "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" in the "Tools" of your Samsung KIES and you will have the newest firmware and with everything reset
Are you on a stock or a custom Rom?

Just flash a stock rom with mobile Odin or Odin. You'll lose your root though.

I notice that this is to go back to 4.1.1....will this work for my 4.1.2? Maybe it will put me back to 4.1.1 and then I could just update it again to 4.1.2! :fingers-crossed:

I'm probably guessing it's can be done by porting the app then opening it with eclipse and changing some code :victory:

Yes, it kind of works on the international S3 I believe but definitely not on the S4. It's just too hard, TW camera is dependent on Odexed TW framework.

Rom slot not working- SS 3.71

First off, if this is in the wrong area I apologize. Please move it Mods, or tell me where it needs to go.
I am running ss 3.71 on my verizon mk2 s4. For some reason when I create a rom slot and try to boot it up i get passed the splash screen then nothing. No button lights or reaction to any of the buttons, just a black screen. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance fellas

Yes. Tried booting with and without a rom installed. I run the same version of ss on my fire hdx and it worked fine the first time. Also when I go to make the partition I can only change the data size. It won't allow me to change the others.
should I try uninstalling SS and re installing it?

When I did my HDX the rom slot opened and ran on the stock rom then I made changes to it. This should work the same on my GS4 right??
I just tried creating the slot again, same issue.
Thanks a lot guys! I really appreciate the help for a noob!!

And its definitely the Eclipse for Safe strap?? If so maybe try and load a different ROM on that slot just to see what you get then. If you can get into SS to do all this I wouldn't think SS is the problem myself.

Well like josh said whatever one you do chose must be a 4.3 TW ROM since you're on a Safestrap S4. The only one I could suggest is Hyperdrive. But there's a few from what I've been seeing.

If you're gonna buy xda premium just buy tapatalk pro just in case you join any other forum. Even if you don't it still has features not included in xda premium. XDA screwed their app when they updated to tapatalk 4

New Update ANE5

Updated my GS5 this morning to G900TUVU1ANE5 with Odin, so far the phone feels faster ( opening camera/Gallery) no UI changes except for the new Wi-Fi Calling toggle on the notification bar.
Just receive the update OTA and my phone is much more responsive. Opening apps, camera, etc

You're on it Beans! Do you plan on rebasing Alliance on the new OTA?
I hope this isn't a dumb question, but. ... can we assume that the update is "safe" to take OTA? What I mean is, are we pretty sure tmobile is not going to lock the bootloader in an update?
