Anyone else get it yet? It is available via Kies.
**As with any update, if you are rooted just wait for a rom since you will probably lose root and high probability it will be locked down like the S4 was.

As always, do not take any OTA update if you want to keep root. Wait till the file is taken apart or someone installs to see what this changes.

And considering kingo root app is still fairly new, there is a .1% chance it was patched. But Verizon might have enabled selinux to enforcing, that would ruin safestrap possibilities for awhile. I think I'll test it out and keep you guys updated.

Could be AWS patch seems it didn't launch with it enabled like the S4.

AWS LTE Bands. Verizon just enabled it in major markets. It will make the coverage better and faster. Only certain devices have the hardware to take advantage of it. Some devices come with it enabled and others have to have it enabled with a software update.
Just ran through the update. And it said there was another update, so far I have updated it twice. Will post back if I see anything. Holding my breath for KNOX to show its face.
I am curious to know all of the implications of the updates but will not risk losing root
Just a heads up, it is highly likely that many problems will come from updating. Namely, SELinux is expected to go from Permissive to Enforcing on VZW devices. This will cause issues with future rooting, and issues with SafeStrap.

I looked and didnt see this info here in the forum so I figured I should post it. If it has already been posted I apologize. Anyway if not here it is. Samsung has released a firmware update to allow moving of apps to external SD. This is due to the 16gb not actually being that, but more like 9gb. I for one think this is great news. Especially considering I just ordered a new Class 10 micro SD and it will be here today. It is currently only rolling out in Germany, but Im sure it will get here. And even if it doesnt Im sure some cool dev can make it work for us!!! Anyway here is the link. http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57...r-galaxy-s4/?tag=nl.e703&s_cid=e703&ttag=e703
Heres a list of what the update includes.
New Camera firmware with HDR video
Smearing issue has been fixed (Purple effect while scrolling)
Smart Pause Toggle
Move Apps to SD Card
Semi-transparent status bar
New Icons in Settings
Secure boot status in “About Phone”
Increased display legibility
I just read this on http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2420067,00.asp . This looks promising but right now its only out for the snapdragon processors. Hopefully we'll see the qualcomm version arise soon.

I'm wondering if this firmware update brings "under the hood" changes. I.E. removing root exploits and bootloader bypasses.

If I remember correctly, if you freeze/remove any of the Verizon apps OTA updates will not be pushed/downloaded to your device. I am not 100% sure on this, someone please correct me if I am wrong.

If your worried that the update will cause you to lose root I wouldnt worry about it being permanent. The devs we have here are awesome and would get root back for sure. You could also try voodoo OTA Rootkeeper. It might work if that happened.

no only if you remove the file needed for OTA, but if your rooted its you won't be able to download it anyway. Will mess up your device. usually theres a leak a week or two before them update gets pushed out and if your rooted you can just flash it and be fine
plus wouldn't you have to manually go and approve the download and update before it ran? Or are they automatically pushed and updated? I know on my wifes unrooted S3 I have to go in and get the update and run it. I haven't had an unrooted phone in so long I wouldn't know on mine
Can't wait till a dev merges this with their rom.

It probably only adds the HDR video that's talked about, it doesn't help the "lag" everyone but me seems to notice. People in the main board already have it installed I think.

Supposedly this update patches root and swaps the bootloader. Proceed at your own discretion.
Most recent VZW update that was discovered today.
I have not yet delved into the files to see exactly what this update updates. A few users have reported Apps2SD being included and a change in phone status that now displays a "Secure Boot Status Field" in addition to the SELinux Status field.

What he said.
If you do, you won't likely keep root across the OTA, and won't be rootable afterwards.
Any chance of a bootloader breach is also lower once you update. Just say no,

NFL Mobile. That right there is one HUGE reason to root. Get that crap off your phone, unless you a willing lemming drone to the NSA and you have "nothing to hide"...
Seriously... I don't get it. Those of you that are on SafeStrap mk2 or mj7 are better off staying where you are. You're not missing some huge thing other than saying... Your s4 is on KitKat.
I have a sprint s4 on TW 4.4 and let me tell u...it looks just like TW 4.3.
So keep root..keep SafeStrap and wait and see if the XDA gods can bring root to it first before anything else.
I don't know I guess this kitkat thing is already tickin me off!

I am sure Vroot can already root this. I will be updating when its out and root.

Wait for someone else to try it and see what they say to do. Likely, don't take OTA update unless Towel Root works and that will take trial and error.
I am thinking as long as you didn't modify any system applications (like I did) you should be able to protect root with a program (I forget the name) then update and use the app to allow root again.
---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------
And also now that I think of it, being towelroot was just released I doubt Samsung would have patched it. What I was thinking of doing if that is the case is just flashing the new update with Odin once it's up at Samfirmware and then rerooting it.
Ha ha you can tell I'm addicted.
Checked about 8 times in the last two hours. Still haven't got an ota yet.
They said update through ota is available only in VoLTE markets, others should update manually using kies 3 at or after Jun. 20th. Thanks op for the heads up
Looks like it's only radio update, I guess it doesn't affect root.
