I'm on Android 4.2.2 on the I545WWUAMG6 build.. Can I not safe strap and get me a custom rom?
I really don't like Touchwiz..... I certainly hope I can.. xnx
Okay no wait, I realized I'm supposed to be on 4.3 not 4.2.2.... So is there any way I can surefire guaranteed update to Mk2? Or is it... Just... Update and hope for the best?

I'm really not sure what you're saying, but regardless, if you have an issue with TouchWiz, Safestrap isn't going to help. You can ONLY flash TouchWiz based roms with Safestrap.

Darn it... Really? So I can't flash anything that isn't touchwiz?
Wow that's a bummer.... Alright, then, uhm... So that means if my 4.2.2 build isn't an MDK I'm doomed, right? lol

I've updated two phones today but they were both stock so I don't know yet. Still early going so I have no real feedback as of yet.
My biggest question is can I upgrade all my 2.3.x phones to this over the air, or will I have to hack 4.0 on there first anyway? I literally spent hours upgrading 5 S2s to 4.0.3 two days ago seeing as there was no other way. Then I see this today. Ah well, better late than never I guess. I have 4 s2 devices to get to 4.0 anyway I can so I'm hoping I can just call the users and tell them to do it over the air.
Downloads but fails to install for me, Siyah 3.5.1 kernel & rooted stock UCLE5.

Use stock kernel
Yes if nobody knows you have to be on stock to upgrade, as Nina pointed out.
Is there a lke modem or does somebody have a separate link to the modem?

Back on Topic, I tried the update this evening on my rooted stock ICS S2 (replacement came with 4.0.1 on it from AT$T). Of course, it failed. I'm sure it is because I uninstalled some system app. I didn't note which ones I got rid of. Does anyone have a list or link to a list of the apps that came with the phone originally? I want to reinstall them so I can update. Thanks!
Just wondering if anyone knew that there was even a Revolt ROM for the VZW S4?
Been running Eclipse as my daily driver since I got my S4 back in July, but I just discovered the Revolt ROM and may have a new DD. TONS of customizations, pie controls, halo, 4.3, the works! I couldn't find a thread for is in the development section so I thought I'd see if anyone here knew it was even available for the VZW S4, because it in fact, is.
Here's the video review from The Droid Effect that made me look into Revolt:
http://thedroideffect.com/revolt-rom-review-the-new-4-3-aio-rom-king/
Here's the thread for the 4.2.2 version for the other S4's so you can kind of see the full specs (Don't download from there!):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2300817
Here's the DOWNLOAD page for the VZW S4:

The only one I can seem to get working is the 4.3 based ROM under Stable Builds > Alpha.
Is this able to be installed with SS or is this a MDK based rom?

I'm guessing if its a 4.3 ROM that it isn't going to work with safestrap.Most 4.3 are still mdk

It's indeed an MDK. What's the benefit of Safestrap? Wait...I guess I'll look it up.

Just a nice work around for us unfortunate ME7 people that allows us to run custom Roms as there is no bootloader bypass for the ME7 kernel.

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.

You can't, it's not possible because no bootloader exploit has been found since MDK.

One person has claimed it's possible through JTAG, but they declined to provide proof and nobody else has been able to do it.

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.
