We don't have a reliable/trustworthy root for MJ7 and people start asking for MK2.
Don't take the update is you value root!!!!!

That would be REALLY nice. Friggin' phone refuses to go to sleep if a notification wakes it up.
This is for Sprint Galaxy s4, not Verizon.

Got the MK2 on Verizon
I was messing with some settings on my phone today and decided on a whim to check for an update, and low and behold, there was an update available. It seemed like a minor update, and my new Baseband version is I545VRUEMK2. Still at Android version 4.3. Kernel version 3.4.0 [email protected] #1 Wed Nov 20 12:44:43 KST 2013. Hardware version I545.06. I'm just wondering what the update changed, and I have not been able to find any information on it at all. THANKS!

Minor bugs. The sleep issue and I also saw something to do with the USB charging??
Whatever, no more updates needed here!

And it is now a Verizon update. At the time of my post all media indicated that this was only released for Sprint phones. I stand corrected.

Thanks for mentioning the new baseband, I was just about to ask! My voice signal sucked on MJ7 (more dropped calls and times when the phone wouldn't ring when called), did anyone else notice that?
I wonder if this new baseband update is any better...I actually just warranty replaced my phone due to the signal issues and the replacement came with ME7 so I disabled the updater on this one until I'm sure updating won't cause the same problem.
Just so you guys know the mk2 update can be rooted the same way as MJ7....I did it and it works fine.

I guess you meant 4.1.2, as 4.2.1 is not yet officially, just the leak, hence no OTA or KIES update possible
I think he means he's received the XXEMB1 4.2.1 official update which superceeds the older XXELLA 4.2.1 updare from a few months ago that appeared to be the cause of regular system freezes. I got my device back from Samsung yesterday claiming they fixed it but it still froze 3 times before lunch. Then I got the XXEMB1 update this morning and so far so good. I've been running Facebook and Google Chrome over wifi and mobile data with no lockups.

Is ME7 the new android 4.3? My baseband is ME7 but my build number is MDK. What is the difference? Can some explain this in detail? Im eeally confused with people saying ME7 4.2.2 when I thought it is 4.3.

ME7 is still 4.2.2. Verizon has not released 4.3 for the Galaxy S4.

So, when I flash an ME7 rom, does my build number have to be ME7? Or is it in fact my Baseband?
Sent from my Hyperdriven Core Verizon S4 using XDA Developers App
The build number shows which version you are on. ME7 is still 4.2.2 but if you receive it OTA, it locks your phone down pretty tight.
Baseband just means which modem/radio you are using. You can flash whatever one you want, which ever works best for you.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 4
No you can flash a ME7 Rom while on MDK. If you flash darkslide or the barebones rom you'll baseband will be updated to ME7 which is a plus if you decide to then flash back to a MDK rom. I've flashed back from darkslide (ME7) to synergy rom (MDK) and my baseband was still ME7. :good:
The barebone me7 build is exactly like stock except you can choose your system apps during the aroma setup I highly recommend it. The overall speed is better on the new build it really flies!!

I hope Verizon/Samsung skips 4.3 and goes directly to 5.0 so they don't waste time on such a small incremental build which would only result in us waiting 4-6 months for 4.3 then another 4-6 months after that for 5.0. So hear is to hoping for 5.0 in 4-6 months and a happy new year. But this is Verizon and they don't care about users at all.

Sadly this is truer than most people realize. It took forever for my Tbolt to even get ICS because of Verizon. After a talk with a CSR that probably opened her mouth more than she should have it turns out Verizon has better relations with Apple than the companies that run Android. Which is why Verizon always gets Apple products so much faster. But back on topic MDK and ME7 are essentially the same. Some people have reported the ME7 radio holding 4G better in weaker areas at the cost of a little battery. I know you Google it there is a "change log" so to speak about what's different in ME7. Its really nothing to major from what I remember, but like everyone is saying, there are ME7 based Roms out there so do yourself a favor and DO NOT OTA to ME7.

It sounds so pessimistic but that what they have done to us.
So for me seeing is believing.
Sorry to be so pessimistic
Not going to happen. I'm a pessimist too and I am nearly willing to bet this will not happen on 10/28. I think we should bug the hell out of verizon though....pointing them to this leak to make sure it gets out ASAP.

IIRC GPE later then 4.2.2 (or what ever the current one that works on safestrap) uses a different kernal then the regular touchwiz and will not work until kexec is developed.
Though hopefully 4.3 does come out soon, I get the feeling that having a new update to android that cannot be installed w/o a new kernal will help push kexec along...
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
I think the 10/28 date is when Samsung is submitting the 4.3 update to Verizon to review and approve. It makes no sense that Verizon would update first out of all of the US carriers based on their past history.
Look at the rest of the S4 and S3 dates, most of them are slated for mid to late November, which seems more likely for a Verizon release. The other carriers don't really have a reviewal process like Verizon does to my knowledge, so they get the update and just push it to devices almost immediately. Therefore, Samsung built our version of 4.3 first and is submitting it earlier so that all of its devices get 4.3 around the same time.
Of course, I could be completely wrong and Verizon is releasing the 4.3 update on Monday. I won't complain if they do
I wonder how many of you will say lol woot when you download the update on 28th or 29th whatever the date is
I'm not getting a woody over this atm. It will likely be so locked down as mentioned that safestrap & roms will be out of the question for who knows how long. I'll stick to the customizations that I have now via ME7 & safestrap/Hyperdrive Rom.
Updates to me are useless until at least root can be obtained.

I don't care about the root aspect as I haven't been able to really flash a ROM being on me7 and now the newest update, but if this holds true, I am excited. Otherwise I think it was a typo and they meant Oct 28 2014 for Verizon.

Followed up on your claim that any official dates have been confirmed, they haven't. Most recent information as stated by HTC is target 2nd week of April. That's not a confirmation of any specific date especially since the update is with Verizon right now to get final certification. If you have specific information from a source to say otherwise please post.
Agreeing with xlxcrossing. Everything i see shows the 2nd week of April. if you have diff info please share. otherwise here is where i got my info.
http://motoringcrunch.com/news/htc-...e-release-date-siren-starts-ringing/10012474/
If they are to meet the target launch of April this should mean that KitKat 4.4 should arrive before 14 April. Detail :

I'm sure resources could have been but at the same time Google said it was a low percentage of devices that even have that version. I'd like to say it was like 1-3% or something that low so it probably wasn't too high on the list to fix. I do think their is a patch they have out though
There's been some subtle info coming through the pipeline but week of 21st (now) is the adjusted time for target release. Hopefully some of you will get the OTA notification soon. This isn't a guarantee by any means, we all know the update process through Verizon historically has always been massively delayed at times when dealing with older devices. Its not like HTC or Verizon though to give constant updates pushing it week to week. They already did their 3 month postponement so I think its legit at this point.

Will I get notification of the KK update OTA since I'm in Canada and hence not running on Verizon's network and secondly, if I do the update, will I be able to run the ViperDNA as a dual boot option or is it even worthwhile to do that?

I'm guessing different chips then s6 uses the exynos 64 bit and the s4 uses snapdragon 32bit.
Ikr It's Weird That We can root the s6 but not the vzw s4 it turns out pingpongroot supports kernels built before may 15 and are kernel was built March 30 so it's probaly possible that the exploit pingpongroot uses would exist in our phones just a guess though are kernels are different of course it's a possibility
I read somewhere that there will be a lollipop 5.1 update by the end of July but it's unofficial if that's true

Yes I see where u going but also look at note 4. It still can't get root. And it's been how many months it's been out.
I'm sure if that update does come out there probably going to mess something up in that update but it's suprising the note 4 still doesn't have root you would think the note 4 would already have root it's not like the s4 that's almost 2 years old

If, and that is a pretty good IF, they update the S4 to 5.1 Verizon's version will never see it. Verizon is just too lazy and only care about their cash. I was surprised to see us get 5.0
They may both be lollipop, but have different code. Also, this update was sent AFTER the s6 exploit, meaning Samsung/Verizon had time to patch it. Therefore, the same method won't work.
