If you are rooted you can go into Titanium backup and Freeze SDM.
I just got my i545 and had the same issue. The new phone (bought off Ebay) has MJ7 and the 4.4 update was beating me to death.
I rooted with the method in the General forum sticky. Then, I paid for the Titanium Backup registration key. With that, I could freeze FWUpgrade.apk and SDM.apk. No more prompting.
I added Safestrap after that. use the 3.71 version linked in Hashcode's thread (Safestrap-JFLTEVZW-3.71.apk). With this, I could get the 4.3 to activate Hotspot tethering ( I am still on grandfathered Unlimited). Voila, everything works just the way i want it to.
I am unsure if I want to go to 4.4 at this point. I would eventually like to have CM11. But, with 4.3 and tethering working, I am pretty satisfied with this phone already. It is miles ahead of my HTC Thunderbolt.

You don't need safestrap for tethering but if it works it works right? 4.4 isn't anything special anyway and you'll probably never be able to flash CM or any AOSP ROM anyway.

no route to flash any CM or ASOP based ROMS unless you have a mdk base S4...

I've noticed that with every TW based ROM I flash, the LTE connection is horrible, not even reaching over 1MB download. However WiFi is fine, and so is call reception. I've used Internet Speed Master (App found on Google Play) but that seems to do it no justice.
When it comes to any AOSP based ROM the LTE acts completely normal in my area (20Mbps-30 for the Albany area usually).
I have done some searching but haven't found much of an answer and didn't want to bother any Devs with this.
Any help is appreciated

I noticed mine really crawling today. I thought maybe it was a Verizon issue but just for the heck of it I flashed back from the new me7 modem back to mdk. My speeds were right back to normal after reboot. Not sure if it was coincidence or the new modem was causing issues.

Ah I just noticed in my build number the ME7 at the end. I never remembered flashing or ODINing to that modem in the first place. So your saying flashing back to MDK might help out? Sorry I'm bad with the whole Radio/Modem thing.
Sent from my Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
It's worth a shot. You can always flash back and forth if you need to to test which runs better on your phone.
Your phone must have installed it when you didnt notice. Unfortunately once your phone takes the ota you cant go back to mdk. If you were planning on modifying it all me7 has at the moment is root, no custom recovery. Just a heads up.
Edit:
Or did you flash an me7 based rom?

I was referring to just the me7 modem, not the full ota.

I'm assuming you haven't taken the ota if you're running custom roms

Yeah I think I had MDK and flashed one of the newer ROMs that had ME7 and didn't notice. I just got everything all set up on RLS8 and would prefer not to have to re-do everything again, so is there a way to find the MDK and either flash it or put through ODIN?
Today for whatever reason my phone decided it didnt lke verizon anymore and decided to jump to USCC. Seriously though. I flashed the latest test build of CM 11. played with it. then wiped data and flashed CM 10.2 and booted. next thing i know it is trying to activate on USCC. So i odined to stock MDK and attempted to get it fixed. There was no help given there. Lady was really nice but still no help. I a trying to figure out what is wrong and get it fixed. Im not sure how in the world this even happened. I do this all the time and never have issues. I am open to all suggestions. Right now i am on stock rooted MJ7 using wifi as i cant even activate the new sim she issued (I keep new ones at home) to activate as it dials USCC for some reason. Any ideas. I did enable the hidden menu if that helps

I did the same thing and now I am stuck in roaming as well. I'm trying to restore a nandroid backup right now to see if that fixes it.
Edit: I restored from a nandroid backup and it still is stuck roaming. Even though it is roaming I have no cellular connection even though I have bars.
Same thing. I am trying to find a fix or a way to wipe the current carrier info. Or manually push the right info

Fixed it. Flashed cm10.2. Set the CDMA subscription to ruin/sim and rebooted. Fixed it.

This worked for me as well. Thanks scarmon25.
I just very recently got a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 and have since rooted it. I love the phone, but have not been able to find a wireless tether app that'll allow me to use my unlimited data plan without a somewhat complicated setup. I'm not new to rooting as I have done it numerous times way back when I used to use the G1. I've run into a similar problem before on my now former Droid Bionic, which I'm keeping as a backup, when running certain custom ROMs. I'm currently using FoxFi, but I would like to find something that doesn't have a 500 meg limit so I don't have to reconnect so often. I know there's paid version of the app, but I would prefer a free option that's just as easy to use and works as well. Thanks in advance.

Almost all Roms have a built in teather hack so you can use the one that comes with the phone under settings->mobile data. Also, check the development forum. There nay be a flashable mod if your on mdk. If not, check out this:

So, I get my replacement phone from the insurance company, and of course it's 4.3 software. Here is the interesting thing. I keep getting "internet unstable" messages, and I never got the with OTA 4.3.
I did however get them when I went to Bean's 4.3 leak. Could it be possible someone flashed Bean's or some other earlier leak, and the insurance company would see 4.3?
If somehow what I just posted above is actually true what would my risks be, and could I just try putting a custom recover on?

Don't think it has Beans flashed on it.. you would see it in the build description or build prop if that is the case.
The message your getting is a known thing on 4.3.. it happens on every 4.3 rom as far I know unless it is disabled or removed..
I don't think it's an issue it just simply stating that wifi is in and out..

Obviously, you're right about saying Beans in the build #. I never had the wifi notices with Sophisticated 2.0 rom, and ran that for over a month.
Well, it wasn't Kitkat , still on 4.3, but maybe there's hope!! Anyone else get it?

Damn it that Knox crap. What's the point, I am stock. I can't even flash a Mod. Because I am root they knife me in the back.
Tell me there's no way back except ODIN back.
Added ability to roam on telus network. Got it last night. Also freaking patches the kernel so the saferoot method no longer works

it's probably just a way for them to try and lock the phone back down before the 4.4 release.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=29193
looks like 4.4.2 is released to those nordic countries for the n7105. the people on the att note2 forums are playing with it. Hoping for a port if everything goes well for them.
This update its very telling. A simple roaming fix that also kills root. Looking like my last samsung phone and maybe the end of VZ for me.
There's a pdf you can view before you download the update. it lists an update for Galaxy Gear, improvements for wifi, maps, voicemail notifications, bunch of other crap. comes with amazon appstore preloaded. im not rooted so i guess i'll go ahead and download it lol.
theyve been killing root with every update. id be more surprised if they allowed root to stay.

not going to take it
I keep getting bugged to do the OTA..
I don't want it...
I guess I need to start a new thread and find out how to stop the OTA if I am not rooted.
So the numbers did not change? I am on 4.3 now...
I got the message to update today so pulled the battery.

The only thing I care about is My free WiFi Hot Spot.
The last update KILLED my free FoxFi hot spot. But I was able to get it to work again by
(1) turning the phone off,
(2) removed the SIM card,
(3) retried FoxFi, without the SIM card, That got me passed Verizon's Subscription Check and Allowed FoxFi to install a security certificate.
(4) turned the phone back off and reinstalled the SIM card.
(5) turned the phone back on and my FREE WiFi Hot Spot has been working every since.
Could someone that has already taken the latest update try this and let me know if it will work ?

So far I have not taken the update.. Sorry I cant help you..
Update and root.
Just wanted to say, I was rooted running the stock rom and I took the OTA update this morning. I still have root access according to Super SU and Root Explorer. I have no idea about Foxfi, I don't use it.
I just downloaded and installed FoxFi, and while I'll admit I'm not familiar with the app, I got it set up on my phone and was able to connect and surf the web on my sons tablet. I didn't have to use the steps in the post above though. Hope that helps?
Please tell me.

the only way that I understand on flashing a new rom <touchjizz only> is using hashcode's safestrap after rooting, I have no idea how to go about this though, I'm still unlocked on 4.1.2 bootloader running an AOSP rom, lol. knock on wood my phone won't screw up and I have to warranty it out for a "brand new" <insert refurbished> stock 4.3 Note II.
