Hey guys, so my buddy rooted my device just before I got the OTA 4.2.2 update. In supersu, i clicked full unroot, and now i dont have root access on my phone. When i try the OTA update, it fails and the phone reboots into normal use. Any ideas? PLEASE HELP!
what software version are you on? Likely we can find you a no wipe odin package to do what you want

Title to thisSays 4.3 to 4.2 which isn't possible. What exactly are you trying to achieve? If you're trying to update to anything above 4.2 you can simply use Odin.
If you're trying to update to kit Kat you can Odin up to mk2 then take the update, just know that there's no root or SafeStrap for kit Kat and may never actually be... That's going to take some time. I'd say root probably will happen, just there isn't a way just yet if you're on stock kit Kat

Whoops, i meant 4.4.2
Sorry for any confusion.
I just want stock Verizon Wireless Samsung GS4 4.3 so i can OTA update to 4.4.2
Just to clarify, I do not, repeat do not want a rooted version on Android, just plain ole software from out of the box.
Thanks in Advance,
Mike

Here's a list of Odin files both full wipe and no wipe

Just make sure you know what you're going to end up doing if you take the kit Kat update that's all.
If I were you I'd just stay on mk2 but that's because I'd need root and SafeStrap. And there is a SafeStrap method for you to run kit kat as well and keep root.

I'm on 4.3 and rooted with Kingo but showing official with Wanam Xposed. Do I need to undo that and go back to stock in order to get the update?
Thus version works for all variats?

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.
Yes smn-9005 is what most of us on NABD (& NAB ) used to root our phones.

Do you lose the engineering bootloader?
You can also flash with Odin either philz or twrp. ... Keep in mind this rom will reflash stock recovery. .. so uncheck auto reboot in Odin and boot into twrp or Philz using vol up home and power and flash su zip
This has a kit kat bootloader that as of right now is not ! Not! !!!! Not !!!! Able to Downgrade .... so once you have nab you can't use any 4.3 roms. ...

Same here. I'll wait for Kingo to support KitKat.
Does flashing the unroot tar wipe the device, or at least the apps? I assume that method does not trip Knox 0x0?

I would assume not, and i dont think you would trip knox by using a stock tar of your current most up to date firmware,

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.
I tried this but the phone just boot looped when it said it was booting into recovery after flashing the tar....

Hi all, I got a couple questions. I'm currently still on 4.3, running a safe-strapped Rom (Galaxy s4, VZW). I'd like to upgrade to KK.
Is the latest firmware available OTA still NC5?
What method will I need to upgrade, OTA or flash stock? Since I'm rooted, is an OTA even an option? I do have SuperSU pro's survival mode (I heard that worked for a couple people). I'm guessing otherwise I'd have to Towel root.
Finally, I assume I should delete the custom ROM slot and factory wipe my stock slot before updating. Will doing a reset affect safe strap, or will it leave it alone?
Thanks!

Thank you for the link, and everything else you've done around here, Bob. I read around a little but I couldn't figure this out: do I have to use Surge's method to upgrade or can I take an alternative route (in guessing Odin) , now that towel root exists?
I'm hesitant only bc I tried to use his downgrade /upgrade methods on a different phone and had some problems. Thanks.

You can't use ROM slots with 3.72 safestrap. ROM must be installed to stock slot. Take and research this info.

I would recommend Odin full wipe tar. This gets your phone 100% stock. It's safe, simple and proven to work.
Watch the videos they help a lot.
I haven't done it the other way!

If you factory reset, then odin the nk4 update, you will be on official firmware. Odin will over-write your old system, giving you official status. This is how we all go from rooted roms to official in order to get updates.
