I was searching to see if anyone else was having issues, but couldn't find any. I finally decided to turn the update off for the Verizon update, but it keeps saying unsuccessful and I'm assuming because the phone is rooted at the moment. Is there a way for me to install the mk2 update?

Nope, it'll install even though you're rooted, but you need to restore anything you've modified before the OTA will work - or at least any files that the OTA is trying to upgrade.

my guess is maybe the wifi tether, I was attempting to get it to work and there was a file or something to overwrite through a script from one of the threads I was reading. Could that be it?

Very likely the tether - it changes the framework, doesn't it? That's very likely to be updated by the OTA.
Yeah, i have the same issues.. When i download the update ( I'm on MJ7 Rooted) it says please install, i click okay. It reboots it goes into the recovery, tries to update but shows a Error Android image, Restarts, then displays this message saying Error Phone couldn't update nothing was effected or something like that.What's the issue?! i wanna update / root because this message for the update pops up every damn day and it's so annoying! Please help me.

Flash the MJ7 no-wipe ROM that you'll find in the Android Development forum. That will restore all of the stock files that you should need (and also cause you to lose root.)Then, update to MK2 and re-root.

I keep getting a msg on my phone that there is a software update on my phone, I go to install the update, it downloads it, then says my phone needs to be restarted. it restarts and I get to the CWM boot screen... then tells me it failed to update my phone. I'm assuming it isnt working due to the fact my phone is rooted. any suggestions on how to's to do this?

If you want a samsung update you have to flash a stock rom without root with Odin. You could also use Mobile Odin Pro for flashing a newer firmware and still keep root. You get the firmware here www.sammobile.com/firmware.
Disable Update
That sounds like a bit of a process that I'm not looking to get into right now... until then, is there a way to disable the update notification so that it doesn't keep alerting me that there is an update? it's starting to get rather annoying, it keeps pooping up from time to time.
You can freeze or remove the Update app. An app that doesn't exist cannot give you notifications.
It's not needed for the phone's correct functioning.
Flashing through Odin + Re-Rooting is a procedure of roughly 5 minutes, 4 of which for the firmware transfer and double-checking of the input.
Update CWM and re-run the root process

I had the same issue. I had rooted the phone using an older version of CWM. In this version OTA updates download but fail to install after booting to recovery.
Download the latest versions of CWM from here and re-run the rooting process. The newer version of CWM (1.5 and up) supports OTA. Worked a charm for me!
Or you can just plug the handset into your pc and update with kies. You will need to reroot following this though.

I'm trying to install the latest update but it keeps failing. It says "downloading" for hours and hours but nothing ever happens. I'm on ME7 (or whatever it is) so the phone is rooted but no recovery is installed. I'm hoping to figure it out before the 4.3 update. I searched but did not see this problem posted. Any ideas?

If you want the update just flash it with Odin. Or use voodoo root keeper to try and keep root. To get the OTA to take the phone must be in stock form. Which means no system apps have been frozen or deleted.

Thank you for the quick reply. I have not done much with the phone yet so I have not seen ODIN. Hopefully 4.3 is released soon like the rumors suggest.
I have a S4 ME7. I was stupid and accepted the most recent OTA update. While update was installing I got an error. Now the update is constantly asking for permission to install and it always gets the same error result. I get a message that states no changes made to the phone, but when I look at the Build number and Baseband version, it now says VRUDMI1. I don't want to lose root and I certainly don't want to brick my phone. How can I get past this problem?
There is some way to disable OTA updates. Just Google around. I read somewhere in xda.

MI1 is fine.
You can flash MI1 with ODIN and the use the root_de_la_vega methond to get root back.
I had the same issue. Now on MI1.
The only problem is if you want to run safestrap.

Sounds good. Only problem is I have never used Odin and I don't know how to do what you are suggesting. If I can get a little instruction, I am willing to give it a try.

I just downloaded a OTA update on my S4, which I hoped was 4.4.4, but it looks like it is still Android 4.4.2. During the update, it says it was also updating KNOX, does anyone know what this update is, I was hoping it was the 4.4.4 upgrade. It did update KNOX to 2.0, so hopefully I can move my work stuff into KNOX now, and not have my basic phone subject to my work's locking policy.
The build number is KOT49H.I545VRUFNG6.

Download Titanium Backup and try to freeze SDM, you might have to purchase Titanium Backup Pro to freeze apps.
When it asks just click , No Thanks.. Update won't show again till you manually look for an update in settings.
I see the method for rooting the G6 involves the roll back to G5 and flashing G6. I've already towel rooted G5, will accepting the G6 OTA remove root for me because of the knox update? IOW if I want the LAG, is it better to flash G6 via odin, or can I just accept the OTA?
Thanks for your time!

You will lose root if you flash NG6 on Odin or Accept the OTA update. The only way to keep root is to follow that flash back method if you want the update and keep root. My advice is not to updated at all. The NG6 update has issues with random reboots.

I would also advise not taking the NG6 update. I did and I went back to NC5. The random reboots seem to be unfixable and there really wasn't anything new and exciting with NG6, unless you need Knox 2.0 for some crazy reason! STAY WITH NC5!!!

Say what? Mine is prompting me to install the update. It only gives me 2 choices "Install now" and "Install later", and if I choose later, it prompts me to pick a time for it to install. There is also a checkbox that says "Install automatically", which I am leaving unchecked. So, I think it's going to prompt me every day from now on, unless I root and then freeze something.

With my wife's phone I went in to settings, application manager scrolled over to all & found SDM app & forced stopped it. Notification is now gone.
She IS NOT rooted.
I also have it auto hibernate using greenify so it does not come back.

So is this update buggy for those who were unrooted? Or just for those who were rooted and took the update?
I wonder if we were to unroot, take the update, then follow the root instructions if many of the problems go away?

My wife's S4 is totally stock and she's had zero problems with the update. Took it earlier today.
After playing around with the update for a while, it looks like we have finally lost write access to the SD card like we were supposed to since the first Kit Kat update. I cannot write to the SD card (unrooted) with any file explorer, and my SMS backup app fails at writing to the SD card.

I read your post..updated for the heck of it..FDR'd it...random rebooted after a a few minutes.
Its been 2 days so far, and the thing reboots 3-4 times a day.
I noticed that sometimes before it reboots, I'll unlock it, and it wont even register my security swipe..Then it reboots..Sometimes, if it does let me in, tapping on an icon does nothing...then it reboots...Other times, like this morning, it was just sitting on the end table, and it rebooted. Boy, you weren't kidding about the reboots.
BTW..All stock.
Here's what I did, worked.
I used the towel root method posted here (and other places I'm sure):
Ok...Forum won't let me post a link because I'm new. So Google "Root Verizon Galaxy S4 SCH-I545 on I545VRUFNG6 Firmware" and it will be the top choice from droid views.
Read the comments section too I posted the issue I was having then reinstalled super SU, flashed the NG6 Kernal and I've been good to go.
Hope it works out for you, I'm on NG6 with root, no errors, no reboots.
Now Available!! 5.0.1!!!
Go get your lollipop ON!!!
Hopefully this will result in some bugs squashed with CM12. I am hoping for a better modem and better Bluetooth.
Queuing up downloads now, I have two of them pending for my device
are you able to capture the updates
I was able to capture the first update because im rooted. But i dont want to lose it if i update it. I hope the developers can find a way to keep root for the first update. if they can. I will happily capture the second update to get lollipop.

apparently this is a 2-part update
part 1 is a build where the last three characters are NK4. this is a kitkat ROM that was likely used to prepare for lollipop
part 2 is the actual lollipop build, OC1. i think it's 5.0.1 but i'm seeing conflicting things from the internet
for some reason verizon likes doing major updates this way (i dont think they did it for jelly bean to kitkat though). but i've had a few of their phones, they've been doing two-part updates since the original galaxy s in 2010 lol
Hey everyone! Has anyone solved the mystery of the lollipop update fail? Seems alot of us are getting the first update without any issues, but the lollipop update is failing. It gives error 402, which one person at Vz told me was an error thrown due to having root. ( I don't have root ) Any suggestions appreciated!

My update is failing as well.
I've wiped cache in recovery, wiped data and cache in download manager...
Still fails.
I was rooted at one time - not rooted anymore.
I do still get the "custom" boot screen with the padlock though...
Can someone that has taken the OC1 ota update test to see if the 4.4.2 kernel has been blacklisted by:
1. Flash the I545_NK4_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5 using Odin. The device will not boot after flashing but we are just interested to see if the kernel will successfully flash.
2. To go back to normal flash the I545_OC1_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5 also in Odin.
This is the first test to determine if a downgrade workaround will be available for those that took the OC1 ota update.

Successful update (in two part harmony) yesterday. Stock system. Fox-Fi still works over Wi-Fi so I'm happy. No issues except 2nd update took a loooonngg time on the red Verizon screen. Make sure your battery is full or you are plugged in. No comments on battery life as I've been able to stay charged today. Getting used to it.

I had the same custom boot screen--even after unrooting. Tried using Triangle Away to reset the binary count, but the count was already at 0. So ultimately I had to re-flash the NC5 kernel via Odin to get things truly back to being recognized as stock.
Then updates started rolling in for NG6, then NK1. Finally the two-part update for Lollipop.
