And once rooted, it won't download. I even tried unrooting and that didn't work. Wifi calling will be key for me, so I may have to install the official download and go without root.

Mine say I have no updates. Shrugs Shoulders. I cant wait for the mega to go to 4.4. Mine say L600VPUAMK1.

You could just flash a 4.4.2 ROM. Unless you like touchwiz.

The prior update activated all the LTE radios in the Mega (3 I think). This update may have tweaked that code for performance and/or connectivity.

Has anyone noticed LTE data connection errors with NA7? I am going to try and flash back to MK1 because i have had no LTE data after upgrading to NA7 ... ive flashed NA7 3 times now and done several ##RTN#s still no luck
keep getting the error "unable to establish mobile data connection ESM - x EMM - 15"

I got LTE with 2 bars in my area when I didn't have it before the update. Doesn't work with kingo root either. Continues to say "NeedRoot". Hell, the phone seems slower too.

How do you revert back to MK1? I've been searching for the tar file but I can't find it anywhere

For those who want root on updated firmware download an app called"ota root keeper" from the play store run it (while on MK1) then ota the update.

Unable to update

I just bought a used S4 and as expected the seller reset it to factory settings. Now, when I checked for updates, there was a system update that I downloaded. However, my phone cannot install the update. It reboots and starts the update. I see the android logo but then it says error and the phone reboots. I then get a message that says the update was unsuccessful. I am coming from the rebound and don't know what issue the S4 has.

You can download the stock firmware and flash it with ODIN. That would likely fix the problem. Just make sure you use the same baseband version that you're currently on.

If your deadset on installing the newest update you can try odin. It doesnt have to be the same firmware tho. You can upgrade from mdk to me7, you cant go back tho because of it being blocked. Be warned tho me7 only has root capabilites. No custom recovery. Theres a thread in the devopment section with the me7 files posted and theres a guide in the same thread on how to do it as well.

Same issue with update, only I lose data
I used Odin to go back to stock MDK, then when I take the update from Verizon, it fails as OP states and I lose data. No 3G or LTE. Have to erase everything in the Odin back to MDK stock to get it back. Any suggestions? Not in too much of a hurry, but concerned that I'll never be able to get to the new radio and firmware.
Update: I lose data when I set up Wi-Fi the first time after restoring. Had data when phone first booted in setup mode, then after setting up Wi-Fi, goes away. Must have some mucked setting somewhere.

BEWARE ZV8_13 Update w/ Root Keeper --> LOST ROOT

Installed and ran rootkeeper backed up SU, did the OTA and LOST ROOT!
Rootkeeper was unable to properly restore root.
Going to have to try and reroot tonight.

Glad to hear it worked smoothly for you! I'm about to do the same.
EDIT: Smoothly re-Rooted
I can also confirm IO Root worked like a charm after this update.
So best thing to do is return to stock the re-root??
I was stock rooted. Took the update. Re rooted. That's all.

Just letting you all know that one of the changes it makes is to enable lte bands 26 and 41
another is it removed twrp as my recovery and replaced it with the stock recovery.

Guys...it takes like a minute to reroot using iorootv11. Just do it after the OTA update. There is no point of trying to use apps to try to preserve root when it is so simple.
Any chance we'll see a TWRP flashable version of stock ZV8? I'd use the LG tool to start over, update to ZV8, root, etc., but then I'd have to apply all the xposed mods, set things how they were etc. I tried flashing stock recovery, then doing the update the normal way, but it led to a bootloop and didn't work.
Edit - Or can someone tell me how they flashed stock recovery, where I can get the recovery, and whether or not it worked? I got my stock recovery zip from a Sprint user in the the TWRP thread, but could only flash it via flashify. Flashing the zip via TWRP would not work.

You wont be able to install the frimware unless your device status reads official ( menu- setting- about phone- status ). So unfortunately you will either have to wait for a modified version of the firmware or revert back to stock with odin tar and then take the OTA update.

As I said, my phone DOES read official, thanks to Wanam Xposed. I don't get any "modified" error message when I look for updates, just "the latest updates have already been installed". Do I need to undo Kingo and Wanam or has the update just not reached the DFW area yet?

I misread that, try running the xposed framework disabler, reboot, and try to redownload the software. If you get the message " your device is up to date', then it probably means it hasnt rolled out to your area yet.

The carrier is the one who pushes the update to the phone. If your using it with another provider you'll have to flash the phone with the updated firmware yourself.

I have my phone flashed to another carrier also running 4.4.2 NABD. You should be fine to Odin the NAB tar file, but might have to flash the Mj4 modem afterwards. On the NABD modem, it kept trying to read from the sim card (NAB may be ok). The MJ4 modem works fine with 4.4.2 and everything works as it should now. Make sure you back up everything first.

You can use Kies to flash, or download the .tar file and flash via Odin...that way you don't lose your app data.
Once you flash the new update via Odin, just re-root using CF-Auto-Root
