The correct answer is No. While this "leaked firmware" seams to have fixed the GPS issue we do not know when it will be pushed out. Based on what I am seeing, it appears to be early beta quality. Figure a couple weeks to flush out issues, ship to the carriers, then the a couple weeks for them to certify it before pushing it out....basically I would say at least a month. However, this "leaked" firmware could be old as well and the carriers may already have it and we could start getting update notices tomorrow. The answer is, nobody on this forum actually knows.

Thank for your reply and i know no one here know for sure when it will come but then again i thought someone has more latest news then myself
Has anyone ripped the GPS fix from the leaked rom? I would like to try it but don't want to flash to the leaked firmware.

For you. I get unavailable messages. So its not a "for sure" thing. Unless i am doing it wrong.
GPS does not work for me either. After flashing I am seeing 12 satelites. All sats have an snr of 15-25 with zero locked.
I was able to get into lbstestmode using a market app called any cut. All of my settings are set to stock.
It appears that this update is not 100%. If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears.
op, if you are asking a question please put a question mark in your title so you dont waste peoples time with misleading thread titles. thanks

Hi All,
I'm a little new here but I've done a lot of searching and haven't been able to find anything recent on this topic. From what I can see there has been no progress unlocking the bootloader to flash custom Roms on the i545vruame7 s4 in a few months. I just got my S4 yesterday and when I received it, it already had i545vruame7 installed. I am able to gain root access but not unlock the bootloader to flash any custom roms. Have I missed something? Is there any way to flash back to the old version?
Thanks,
Peter

Welcome to the S4! So long as you are not on mj7 firmware you can still install Safestrap which allows you to run touchwiz based ROMs. Just search for it in development. If I'm not mistaken, it works with the Google Play Edition ROM too, so you can have a little bit of AOSP goodness.
Just to be curious, where did you get your phone from?

Thanks for the info! I've been thinking about getting involved in the development side, I develop android apps but have never touched anything as far as Roms and bootloaders. I just want it working so I can install CM on my phone so I figured it might be worth a shot.
I installed Safestrap and then stupidly tried to flash a rom slot with CM 10.1 which didn't work. Is there a list available anywhere of touchwiz based ROMs?
I ordered mine from best buy, im really hoping it doesnt have the update

What you have, I believe is the best your going to get until somebody figures out how to crack the bootloader. Im hoping the phone I ordered is running the same software that you have on yours.

Makes sense, I used titanium to freeze the SDM app so I'm hoping that will stop it from auto updating, along with a whole bunch of other crapware.
So what do you guys think will be the next update we will get you think Samsung/Tmobile will bother updating us to the 4.4.4 ??? Or just wait it out and go str8 to Android L ?? Will be interesting to see how Android L Looks once touchwiz is on top
I was wondering the same thing I'm betting we may not get Android L.... It probably makes more sense for Samsung to come out with a Galaxy s6 with Android L....

I'm guessing they'll update us to 4.4.4, then leave it till the S6 comes out. Probably a month after the S6 comes out we'll get L.

Same thing I was thinking I don't think the galaxy 5 will ever see Android L or at least for a really long time right before the galaxy 6 comes out.....
I'm guessing that Galaxy F/S5Prime will more than likely get the priority of the updates before the s6 lol
Well there's the 18 month upgrade rule, supposely these carriers follow. So we'll see L, just most likely in the summer or fall 2015 unfortunately.

You guys are buggin! I got KitKat on my S4 (Sprint) around January/February. So I'd be willing to bet anything that w get L Q1 of 2015.

Lol they are buggin, sg5 is a brand new phone, of course it will get andriod L update.
I'm disappointed we don't even have 4.4 yet, I don't understand how this works. Samsung devs finalize it, and send it off to carriers? And then carriers mess with it? This takes months and months?

Android is a highly fragmented OS, which is pretty annoying, luckily we can root and install our own 4.4 roms! haha

Yea any 4.4.4 rom have a bunch of important stuff broken so we do have to wait till Samsung pushes their TouchWiz update for us to be able to use 4.4.4

No, that won't help either. Even the 4.4.2 ROMs are broken. The devs are trying hard to get the drivers working, but I don't know enough about that stuff to see what exactly is holding them back.

fragmentation is the wrong word, fragmentation implies that android as an entire OS is missing major features and apps are incompatible which is simply not the case, you're thinking of segmentation which is what android is now(back in the 2.2/2.3.3 days you would be right though). With 4.0 android being released, it really blurred the lines between different Android versions and made things very modular as opposed to lets say iOS which is very monolithic, you can not get the latest safari on an older version of iOS, you can however have the latest google now, maps, ect. on a device with 4.0 without rooting and have full functionality for the most part(just missing minor things like "ok google") and unlike iOS, aps built on newer versions of android work on older versions of android unlike iOS where newer apps are incompatible with older versions of iOS
I think an update is required. I have a glitch with the back cover. The current modem is pretty awful. It even makes my phone start up longer. The device even added that T-Mobile 4G LTE screen logo too. I remember it took no time to boot up the S5. Now, it takes mine roughly 30 seconds.

next update I'm sure it will be 4.4.4
So it should be today that we get Lollipop. If you have received the OTA let people know here and post screenshots and findings (and URLs..)
wait
Im so excited about it. I hope we dont wait too much.
Yeah me too!
Since my Nexus 7 LTE and Note 4 will take a few more weeks to get the Lollipop glory.
Just done a format and flashed the stock ROM, now battering the check for update button...
Somehow I'm thinking we'll get the factory images sooner than full OTA today or tomorow, and OTAs should start throughout November up until Nexus 9 LTE and Nexus 6 are out
And here's me thinking that I don't know if I care for 5.0 without xposed :/
Oh well I did a nandroid backup so I can always roll back
Flashed back to stock and ready!

I agree, although I read somewhere that ART causes xposed some problems?
Meanwhile, 13:48pm UK time and no update yet...

As it stands it simply doesn't work with art.
If the dev actually goes back to it to make it work again then it will. For now its simply safer to assume that there shall be no xposed for ART (and therefore 5.0+)

Unfortunately the situation is not that optimistic, as Rovo89 (the author of Xposed) said:
rovo89 said:
...in short: Wait until the final images and source code drop. Then wait again until it's ready. I can't give any estimation when that will be the case, it depends much on my personal situation. Chance are pretty low that it will be within a month after Lollipop release, and will get higher once I start thinking about flashing a Lollipop ROM myself (which would probably be CM12, and I think these guys won't give us a timeline either, for good reasons). I'm still not 100% sure Xposed for Lollipop will work, but I hope that in some way it will, even if it might not be as compatible with most ROMs and as easy to install as it is for Android 4.x.

We have to wait and keeps fingers crossed.
He wrote that months ago, that's one. Second - ART in the latest dev preview is pretty much finalized. Third - knowing XDA in general, adapting Xposed for 5.0 should not take more than a couple of weeks

Lets be fair it wasn't likely to be today
i'm planning to buy a new phone and this one is one of the choices ....
i'm outside US, and i knew that H820 is factory unlocked and their LTE bands are compatible with my region, also i knew it's and AT&T model IIRC..
one thing i didnt get is the unlocking code is giving after purchasing , and i dont know if it's easy or hard to use for someone outside US.
does it got N upgrade or not yet ? this is one of the important features i want and i'd feel bad if it's not upgraded till now -or sometimes in the future-
any other thing i should know bout?
no one knows or the mobile is not popular here?

Just checked to see if mine had an update yet, and it does. I'm in the process of downloading right now. (1505mb update) so hopefully this is what it is. Haven't looked around to see if anybody else on 820 has it yet.
Don't even have root yet.
