That makes sense, did they ever get rid of the annoying Knox warnings on stock mj4? I haven't been stock since the day I got this thing.Knox and My Magazine were killing me.

I know right, Knox was still an issue with the 4.3...and no way to get rid of it unless rooted...hopefully won't be the same with 4.4.2

I wonder (from other users opinion), is it better to stay or 4.3 or update to 4.4? I am talking about official release. Can someone give us compare of pros & cons of both system...?

Might be late for you but...To get rid of the My Magazine...Accept the T & S then in the menu settings, unselect the box for the home button. That's how I got rid of it.

hmm i am not sure but i think @freeza has hinted on the leak thread that there might be something cooking regarding the engineered bootloader (NA4) that makes it possible to downgrade to 4.3 from 4.4. Take with a grain of salt. ( if that how is said... LOL)

4.2 update soon?

Saw this bad boy when I was looking for a phone to upgrade...
Coincidence or?
Discuss.
I'm guessing this is on the official Tmobile site? I'm on edge right now so I'm not even going to attempt to look lol. If it's not a typo, I'd say the chances of getting 4.3 just got better.

Very cool.
Doubtful, international L9 would get 4.2 before T-Mobile would since it wont need carrier additions and LG would be the only one able to do the port. The P769 is near its end of life, I doubt we will get another update. This just seems like a mistype.
I have a friend who is on 4.1.2 and he is getting an ota software update notification.

I saw that too. I just thought they mistyped 4.2 in place of 4.1.2
hate to be a party pooper but who cares? people always pining for the latest android.. half the changes are for tablets and multiple user accounts. we're better off focusing on easier bootloader unlock and more rom/kernel variety. i'd rather have a GB rom available than the bleeding edge android. to each their own i guess :highfive:

I haven't taken any OTAs yet in 5 months of owning my phone. Once you build firmware is updated you are stuck...and most likely will not be able to even odin back. If you don't care about Root or any ability to mod...and don't mind stock features go right ahead and take the update

I got really excited too. I've been using Wanam Xposed for awhile, but I do like the white battery icon in the status bar in KitKat. I hate to sound cliché, but emoji support would help in apps such as Twitter.
sorry to get everyone excited. i will have to do this update.

[Q] Cyanogen s4 mk2??

Yes it's possible. But not with out an unlocked bootloader.
No w/ out a locked bootloader you can't even run aosp. (Depressing eh?)

The S5 is even more pointless if you ask me. It's going to come even more locked down than these s4's
Sure people will work hard at finding exploits but its not going to be any easier. Its getting to the point where more an more people will jump ship over to Sprint where you can still unlock the bootloaders.
So what if Knox gets mad and keeps telling you in tiny yellow and red letters during each reboot.

That's a joke right sprint?
People will jump to Tmobile. Unlockable and actually decent and fast service.
Granted the S5 (on vzw and att) will come more locked than the S4 but people (dan rosenberg or someone else) will initially come onboard and find a 2nd init or kexec method. Also vz has the most coverage around the US.

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,
Android 4.4 + TW = lipstick on a pig
Can't wait for this update, I'm taking it in a heartbeat. A shame there's no word on it for Verizon.

I no longer see a need to root. So much function is freely given now. The only reason I would root again would be for ad block. That said, break me off a piece of that Kit Kat!

What aspect of it are you looking forward to the most?
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!
Do what you want.

An update is an update...I enjoy browsing through for new things. It's like flashing a rom? Some people like stock, it's clean and functional . Have been rooting and installing roms since my og droid days and this is the first device that I find no need to root to enjoy. It's filled with customizable options and speed.
I am sure Vroot can already root this. I will be updating when its out and root.

So it is definitely not possible at this time.
If you want to run AOSP/etc you'll need to buy a used S4 with MDK (e.g. on swappa). They generally sell for a bit more than non-MDK ones, but I've seen them as low as $310-$335 recently. Lowest currently is $360 though. Basically, assuming your S4 is in mint/near-mint condition the price difference should be under $50 if you were to sell yours and buy one with MDK.
