Mine fails on install. I think I have safestrap or some such nonsense installed (been a long time since I've toyed with custom roms on this phone.) Is that why the update doesn't play nice?

S4 Update
Here on the Coast of Maine. Update downloaded. Backing up my SMS Backup then installing. Rooted. We'll see how it goes.

Does the dump include the modem? We desperately needed the modem to be ported to the international versions (I-9200 and I-9205). HSPA+ signals are very inconsistent and I believe porting the modem from the AT&T version will help us a lot.

You would ideally need a new stock Rom which includes the modem.

No roms will work, if ever, on this device because it has been "protected" by Att from running unsigned boot and recovery images.

Or you could always try out one of the AOSP Kitkat ROMs, available in the original development section. They're pretty darn stable, and can certainly be used as DDs.

If you read this post:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2601067, the 4.4.2 leak is for the international S4 ONLY, not any of the North American variants yet.
Your S4 is probably soft-bricked right now, which is nobody's fault but your own.

Sounds quite reasonable.
Following Samsung OTA's for a long time across 3 phones and almost 6 years.. seems they connect some of the major OTAs to release of new product. Since the S5 is getting close could it be tied to that event? Betting Verizon's S5 won't be first on the release list for US carriers either.
OTA of 4.4 for the S4 prior to the S5 release just doesn't sound like a starter. It would be a nice surprise though....

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.

If you live in Poland for the Note 3 variant there, or, stateside, have the S4. Our variant is on the list, but has been delayed, in part, by Google spanking Samsung's hand for putting in code that would have not allowed 3rd party accessories to work properly, and straying too far afield from Android.'
I think the way updates work is that the manufacturer (Samsung) releases the update to the carriers then the carriers add their bloat. Then finally the update is released to the public. Sprint has not released any statement about the 4.4 ota being released.

Theres already a leak of a seemingly final version of 4.4.2 TW that was posted and its fully working, granted w/ some final bugs that didn't get ironed out that samsung is working on. So if the posted info about the OTA coming soon is true, it will be sooner than later before we get the OTA file pushed to the servers for everyone to grab

If you flashed the leaked build then you can't revert back to 4.3 however you can flash the 4.4 tar once its released

If you read through the 4.4 discussion page you will see that the bootloader that came with the leak is unlocked so you can go back 4.3. Once the official is released and you accept or flash it you will not be able to go back.

That is true only for the NA4 leaked build Due to the engineering bootloader. If you flashed the NAB leaked build then you can no longer go back.

Simplistic question. How will we make the transition from a rooted MJ4 JB rom to stock KK rom? I'm assuming by flashing a TAR? Will the current TWRP work with KK or will we have to wait for a new KK version?

Wait for someone else to try it and see what they say to do. Likely, don't take OTA update unless Towel Root works and that will take trial and error.
I am thinking as long as you didn't modify any system applications (like I did) you should be able to protect root with a program (I forget the name) then update and use the app to allow root again.
---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------
And also now that I think of it, being towelroot was just released I doubt Samsung would have patched it. What I was thinking of doing if that is the case is just flashing the new update with Odin once it's up at Samfirmware and then rerooting it.
Ha ha you can tell I'm addicted.
Checked about 8 times in the last two hours. Still haven't got an ota yet.
They said update through ota is available only in VoLTE markets, others should update manually using kies 3 at or after Jun. 20th. Thanks op for the heads up
Looks like it's only radio update, I guess it doesn't affect root.
I'm in the Philadelphia market
