Hi,
I "successfully" installed the new OTA update, but all it appears to have done was disable root without actually updating. It's still 4.3.
Since it was "successful," going to the software update does nothing; it tells me I have the latest software.
Any direct download?
Thanks.
Official 4.4 doesn't exist.

I am assuming that you are a sprint s3 user
On other hand you may have received an updated release of 4.3

You are both so right my dear friends. Verizon released an oddly-timed 4.3 bug fix. It was not supposed to be a 4.4.2 update after all.

Actually it's 4.3 the last ota update.. and 4.4.2 is not here yet..and it would not be there for monthes..:crying:

At this moment I have stock rom, but rooted. Will I be able to get the JB update when it'll come out? Will I lose the root? Will it be a problem?

Yes you can OTA update, yes you will loose root but you shouldn't have any issues. You will be able to re-root in a matter of seconds using CF root or the toolkit.
Once more your OTA update may fail during install on a rooted rom .
Multiple posts report update failed .

If it fails ota you should have no issues with kies. I have had to do this for 2 of the 3 ota updates I have received so far. This will also lose root though.

Ok, thanks for the answers! I'll root it soon... :good:
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.

Theres no reason to laugh at him. Maybe he doesnt care about root and wants the newest firmware.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
I just read about the new update. Actually my phone is not rooted yet. And it looks like this update will make it hard or impossible to root and get a recovery? I better leave it alone then.

The newest update can be rooted. No custom recovery at the moment but theres a few people working on it.

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.
Hi,
I have root my I9205 after I bought it three months ago. (I just root it nothing more)
Now I want to upgrade the stock rom (coz there are some minor problems)
Will I be able to upgrade the Stock ROM (OTA) after unrooting my I9205??
Anything else I need to consider??
Many thx!!
Have you tried OTA yet?? Even being rooted???

AFAIK OTA after rooting is not possible. Phone has to be 'virgin' stock to have possibility to upgrade by OTA.
Just flash the latest stock Rom, this will update and unroot all in one go.

Thx brother I will give it a try!
First i would like to say, Thanks for checking out my post. Now i have a question. I am running freezas rom and i have the nh7 firmware. How do i upgrade this to nk4?
Is it true i have to facyory reset my phone and run the ota update? If so it will not allow me to update, because my device had a custom rom. Also where can i find the nk4 tar file so i can odin it to my note 3?

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.

Or wait for a dev to put out a rooted update. And lollipop is being sent out so maybe wait a little bit.

So far running a lot better after upgrade. Turned back on all features I had to turn off prior to this upgrade with all the lag, and so far hell of a lot better. Hopefully this will continue to run better

Nope, Knox is still tripped

So there should be no problem downgrading regardless of what the update information says.
Can anyone confirm that they could down grade
Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk
I'll test it. Where can I find the version of firmware prior to the new one (FOG6) ??

For those who upgraded, did your baseband stay at OG6?
I have the Metropcs branded version of this, I updated it to the newest metro, and t mobile to test it out, I tried to go back to the baseband I started with, which was 4.4.2 and it would not, odin said it passed but it just started freezing at the samsung logo, I odin back to ob1 and it went right to it no problem.

Mine is F0J4
I downgraded to NE5 and then used Kies to upgrade. Now I'm on the right baseband.
