Hello guys. I am new here, so please bear with me.
I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4, running android version 4.4.2 kitkat. It has no root, custom roms, or anything.
When I try to update my software (settings > more > software update > check for new software update) it tells me "Software update temporarily unavailable. Try again later". It does that every time I try it (I have had the phone for 3 days now, wanting to update) and obviously, I was connected to a WiFi network.
I contacted Samsung via their "Live Chat" function. The lady I talked to told me to boot into safe mode and update, and that it would work (of course, it didn't).
Is there something I am missing? Why will it not update?
The phone is not activated, if that makes a difference.

Did you Notice him that its smartphone bootloader will be "secure download" locked if he updates its phone so he will never be able to flash or root?
Maybe he will later want to root its smartphone, but he will face the most locked bootloader ever.
I am just to figure out why I didn't get an OTA update?

I just assumed he just wants to update to Lollipop. His issue is that he is not able to get the OTA update and he was looking for a solution. If he was successful in getting the OTA during his attempt the result would have been the same in regards to rooting. Rooting and installing ROMs is not for everyone. Probably most people don't do it.

There are several methods on this forum that will help you get the update. There are method's I believe Killnolife is referring to that allow you to root your phone and install custom ROMs. The link I gave you in my first reply is the official update and once installed you will not be able to root if that is your goal. But just search through the post on this forum and you should find a solution.
EDIT: The instructions to upgrade to Lollipop are in the S4 General forum.
Ok, thanks guys! I did want to root my phone (I actually just did that) so I don't want to update to lollipop then.

I had updated my unlocked / root 4.1.2 to stock 4.3 the other day and of course lost root.. Now i see there is a OTA stock Root 4.3 MJ9 posted by Beans in the Developer section but needs an unlocked bootloader.
Is there a way to unlock the bootloader on stock 4.3 yet? Odin won’t let me put CWM recovery on - will fail, which I’m thinking is due to bootloader being locked.
I had used casual on 4.1.2 to unlock root and get custom recovery, but casual has not been updated yet for 4.3 from what i could find.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

That's a no go. The boot loader is locked tight, and you can't downgrade.

Never take OTA updates until you know what's in them, that is if Keeping root and being unlocked are important to you. Learn from others mistakes and or wait for Development to clear it.
that stinks I cant go back. I somehow did get my phone rooted, dont remember all that I did. so I am good now except...
Now the hotspot app I had wont work, gives the verizon subscription message. Ive looked for a way around this and I tried the app Wifi tether as a post had mentioned but that wont work, gives error when starting but error log is empty.
Do I need to flash a custom kernal possibly? or anyone know of a working fix?
Thanks
I remember how I got root. I used Kingo. Had never used it before but it worked. Just cant get wifi tethering to work
because u need to be on a non stock rom.

I might be late to the party but I have att note 2 4.3. I used app quarantine. Made it show system files. Froze tethering provisions. Then download fatten wife toggle and press 3 times. 1st time will say settings stopped. The 2nd press does nothing. Then 3rd press it works flawless.
Yeah, I've just screwed myself over messing with a custom rom Now I've flashed to stock 4.3 through odin & I'm looking to root my phone again.
Root is still possible through kingo

I installed Kingo and it does not connect (keeps requesting to enable USB debugging mode).
I could not find Developer mode or USB debugging mode in settings.
I have i605 Galaxy Note 2.
So, how can I get Root?
word to the wise, please don't install the Google IM app in your effort install a custom recovery on 4.3.
I now have the yellow triangle saying that Verizon has found unauthorized software on the phone. Trying to revert back to stock 4.3 and I've tripped my knox warranty counter! I think i'll stop tinkering for now.
Hal88 , you have to go to about under settings and keep tapping the build version bar to get the developer options unlocked
Custom recovery or so called unlocked bootloader is not possible in stock 4.3 rom....wait f for the great developers to crack it or find ways around it....

Wow good to know about bootloader locking up from OTA 4.3 gonna stick to my CM 4.4.2 rom
No way to unlock 4.3 bootloader?
So is 4.3 stock out of luck now with the bootloader? I was hoping to unlock my wife's phone and didn't realize 4.3 had updated onto her phone. Is there no way to unlock the bootloader now? Verzion wins?
Hi,
I went through all the form to root my S4 verizon(unlocked) but nothings related to MG7 baseband??
my baseband version is MG7 is it different than others?? i coudnt find any post related to this version
Main problem is KNOX security is installed in my phone in system directory,
KNOX preventing me from root access(when i tried super user app i am getting a notification ""An application has been forced to stop for an unauthorized attempt to access system in your device"),
so i tried to uninstall the KNOX but I need a root privilage to uninstall it. I stuck in the loop.
after I found to bypass the KNOX I should use the certified application to get into root. (i may be wrong i am not sure) is their any way for me to root and install cynagenMod ?? or if helped in uninstalling KNOX i can root it.
Thanks in Advance.
FYI: BaseBand version is I545VRUDMG7 its verizon and unlocked now using AT&T

Are you sure it's MG7 and not MJ7? I did a quick Google search for I545VRUDMG7 and the only thing I found were the posts you created on this and other sites.
Maybe you could post a screen shot of your phone info.

Maybe some sort of test build? Did you purchase the phone used? Generally S4 build numbers have followed a pattern. The second letter generally indicates a date, I believe. That's why MDK was most likely a May 2013 build, ME7 was a June 2013 build, etc. So this may be somewhere in between ME7 and MI1. I would say this device could be a rare gem and may even provide more information towards a BL exploit.

Its very strange I could only find i9500 with similar build number but clearly that shows as an i545. Someone here will know. He says he has Knox on there though?

Wait you dont have root on this? Try saferoot or any of the root methods we have they should work. Next it would be helpful if you sent me your bootloaders would you be willing to help us? Also please refrain from installing Cyanogenmod for a little bit until I can get some of the partitions from your device. Also don't upgrade the baseband yet either please.
There was a reason they didnt release this build. It would be helpful to know why I need to analyze the bootloaders from this build. I hope you read this soon and above all else do NOT update your phone!

I guess @Surge1223 can send you pm's on how to extract the needed files to find more about your bootloader. He could probably write a script for you.

I tried to update my phone today and ran into an issue. It seems that when the phone reboots into recovery mode, it says that there is an error and forces me to find the download image manually. I looked to see if it was on the SD card and there was no luck there. Is it because the download itself is corrupted in some way, or is this a bigger issue than that? BTW my phone isn't rooted if that helps

Did you get the update OTA? If so you could try a factory reset, then re-download the update OTA, and try again.
Rooted S4 won't update to 4.4, error, rooted with CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505
I haven't gotten the OTA notification yet, but if I go to about phone, system updates it will find it and download it.
When it tries to install it will do the normal things, but at the end won't complete and says error.
What error would it be? The S4 was rotted with CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505 and I also read the source code of KitKat was realeased from Samsung. I guess I may have to wait until I get an OTA update or until one of you masters redoes the update.
Please Help.
Thank You

You can root now and cancel the update, or let the update happen and follow the instructions in the NE9 update guide. The only thing that's missing in the guide is a link to Odin itself, so here it is for you. Odin is a utility for flashing Samsung firmware. Just make sure you follow the instructions given exactly.

That's my understanding. I'll probably be doing the same thing with my Note 3 in a couple days, once it arrives in the mail. But yours is a different device from a different carrier, with a locked bootloader, while mine will be unlocked.
I've done some searching (for several hours actually) and think I'm just more confused than when I started - so please forgive me for asking if I just haven't found the "right" answer thread somewhere among the thousands of posts here...
I am trying to update my wife's rooted S4 (Verizon) on 4.3 (MK2) to Lollipop 5.01 w/root. To do this, I was following the instructions near the bottom of this page that start with "Install Lollipop on Verizon Galaxy S4 & Keep Root"
http://www.droidviews.com/install-lollipop-on-verizon-galaxy-s4-and-keep-root
I followed everything as directed, and upon running FlashFire, it blacks out for about a minute, and when it reboots, reboots into standard recovery mode and just sits there. My only choice is to reboot.
I've tried it several times and get the same results. I end up right back where I started. Which makes me think these instructions may be lacking or my setup is not what's expected?
Any pointers appreciated - or completely different instructions if the ones I followed aren't correct or if there is just a better way. Thanks for your valuable time and info in advance!
You are on the older version so, the Flashfire may not like the fact your on the older bootloader! If your gonna use a ROM find one that uses the MK2 bootloader, or first update to a KitKat (4.4.3) NK1 bootloader ROM, then update the Flashfire

Thanks for your reply.
The instructions linked to a ROM for non-MDK bootloaders - which is the one I chose being on MK2. But you're saying I need to start at 4.4.3 at least?
What's the best way to get there without losing root? Or do I update and re-root?
I tried doing and OTA update on this setup and it errors out. I'm assuming I'd have to unroot to get the OTA first? But if I do that, will I get the 4.4.3, or will it try to go right to the latest Lollipop build?
Again - thanks in advance!
Let me do some research, will get right back to you...I believe you need the NK1 or NK4 bootloader.
