Hey guys, sorry for the newbie question.
Is there any ROMS available for the 4.2.2 MI1 build? I wanted to download the Hyperdrive but it's saying that I need the base 4.3 version.
I've tried to update the phone but for some reason, it keeps saying error when I try to update OTA.
How do I upgrade to the base 4.3 version?
Or how is there any ROMS available for the 4.2.2?
Sorry for the newbie question, I have tried the search function.

you can download hyperdrive 10.2 which is the old 4.2 version. i think that's it for 4.2
if you want to update you need to unroot before you take the ota

Thank you! That helps a lot.
So what I need to do is unroot, install OTA upgrades, reroot, install Safestrap, and then install Hyperdrive..correct?

Hey there. I'm having trouble upgrading from Android 2.3.7 to 4.3. I want to use CyanogenMod 10.2 and at least according to the gapps download page you need 4.3 to use it. On the stock firmware my Wi-fi doesn't work and it won't let me update Android without being connected to it. In CM7, the WiFi works but I don't see an option to upgrade Android. Is there some way I can upgrade Android without being connected to Wifi, or some way from CM7?
Thanks.

I upgraded mine to 4.3 with supernexus 3 v.1. It's working fine. I did a clean install of 4.1.2 with ATT stock rom through Odin and then flashed Supernexus

Thanks - can you tell me where to find a 4.1.2 stock rom? Or do I have to upgrade Odin Lite to do it?
Also, as a complete and utter noob, I'm just kind of confused as to what the difference is between flashing firmware through Odin versus using Clockwork Mod to install a ROM from SD card? Thanks.

Ive heard recently that sgs3 is soon to be receiving the 4.3 update, skipping 4.2.2 all together. 2 questions.
1. Apparently my current firmware isn't supported to update via kies, meaning I can't check for updates via kies. Was running cm10.1 nightlys then decided to re flash stock back onto the device. So im running official 4.1 touchwiz with stock kernel.
And 2. Will this update be available over the air since kies doesn't want to work? I mean it should right? I am on stock now so I don't see why not? Thanks guys all help appreciated

did you follow the guide to get back to stock conditions? including non-modifed status etc.? usually KIES should even work with root, just removes root after the update though.
I guess the easiest, and maybe fastest bet would be to just download the update once on sammobile or here on xda and flash via Odin.
I currently have stock rom and recovery and kernel rooted and want cwm so I can finally get a custom rom installed ^^. How would I install cwm?
And how would I install this rom properly:

You can't. I suggest you look at some of threads talking about boot loaders.... Safestrap . mj7 is fully locked down. Hash code is working on porting his safestrap to work on 4.3 bases

I'm not sure what you are asking. You want to go back to me7 or mi1? You definitely can't go back to mdk....

Sadly, this gets repeated over and over:
If you upgrade past MDK, you can't bypass the bootloader, which means you can't install custom recovery or custom kernels.
Once you install a release, you usually can't install any prior release (the only exception is that MK2 can be downgraded to MJ7).
Hello people of xda,
I've got a verizon galaxy s4 running a version of safestrap, I used to run a stock jelly bean rom but swapped back into touchwhiz with the google home launcher instead and erased the JB partition. I'm thinking it would be refreshing to jump back into stock kit kat.
Really, I'm only after the ability to run a recovery and flash roms :/
My phone is still on ME7 and I'm not able to update through the prompts.
I would preferably like to root/unlock/update(or downgrade)/get a kit kat rom running. Are there still restrictions with unlocking these?
Hopefully someone knows this stuff off hand and can let me know without much trouble
Thanks!

There aren't any KitKat ROMs available for our S4. Furthermore, your only option for custom ROMs is Safestrap.
I suggest you do A LOT of research before you jump in.

I've already done a lot of research, there are plenty of roms based on 4.4., Cyanogenmod 11 nightlies would be ideal. but I dont think they run with safestrap.
So maybe to clarify what I can do from here, is there a current list of roms that are compatible with safestrap?

Your version of Safestrap is compatible with TW 4.2 Roms. The newest version, for MJ7 and MK2 builds, is compatible with TW 4.3 (Hyperdrive only at this point).
You can't revert to an older build and you can only flash Touchwhiz Roms with Safestrap.
You have more reading to do. All of this information has been posted multiple times.

So only roms with a ME7 kernal?, I guess it's back to the ole GPE rom for me -_-
Well that's ****ty. Verizon has no mercy.
Is there an option for me to upgrade to MJ7 via odin and upgrade my version of safestrap? Or is this out of the question?

Lol great minds
I have not updated my Hyperdrive since 10.2 and decided it was about time I caught up. I am on ME7 now and attempted to flash the new ROM but my phone will no longer boot. I have been able to boot into my stock rom with safestrap so I am not bricked by any means...
What's the process from here to get caught up to Hyperdrive 14?
I am currently in the process of installing 10.2 since I still have that .zip available to me.

Hyperdrive RLS14 requires the 4.3 kernel, so you must update to MJ7 or MK2 before you install it.

I thought that might be the problem, where can I find the 4.3 kernel since I don't think I can update OTA.

You can't update the kernel alone. That's why I said that you have to update to MJ7 or MK2 first.
Flash the no-wipe MJ7 image using ODIN. That'll get you to MJ7 while keeping apps and data intact. Then you can re-root, re-Safestrap, and install RLS14.
