Are you attempting to connect via wifi? I find I can only get official updates using Verizon's network.
I've tried with and without wifi with no success... any other suggestions?

I believe I would have to turn wi-fi off to initiate OTA updates on my DX. For kicks I would also toggle the other devices off and on prior to initializing the update. Bluetooth, gps.
I was running EB01 so I odin'd back to DI01 and DL09 but I got "server unavailable" messages when I would check for OTA updates. I've scoured the internet far and wide for a solution but I've had no luck. Can someone please chime in? I don't get why I would have this issue having odin'd back to stock and it is frustrating.
Im on that same boat I haven't found a solution, I read an old thread on a similar problem but when update 1 was releases that said that certain models can't get that update. .. I think MAYBE because we own these models?

I'm not sure what you mean by certain models. I can tell you for sure that when I was running the stock eclair build on my Fascinate a few months ago I was able to check for and install OTA updates. I've literally tried almost everything and still get the SERVER UNAVAILABLE message and can't find any help on this on any forums. If you find a solution please do post back here and I will do the same. For now I just ODIN'd the ED01 zip here.
No one else gets a SERVER UNAVAILABLE when checking for OTA updates? I really suspect even though I ODIN'd the stock tarballs something must not be stock for the OTA updates to fail. Anyone, please??
I guess we need to wait for an Odin 2.2 file

You can Odin 2.1 and then flash the ED01 update.zip. That's what I ended up doing since no one responds to these server unavailable issues.
Take a look at this thread

It is not your exact problem but it does deal with a server problem.
If you can do either option it is worth a try.

I'm glad that worked. I have to do the wifes now. Since she got the update the same thing is going on with her phone.
I'm unsure of what changes were made but I was so excited to see "Android Upgrading" on my phone only to realize that it's still running 4.3.

I just received the update as well. It was small. I just clicked check for updates for the first time in a month and was shocked to see my phone found one. Don't know what the changes are yet.
I also got the update and I can't find any update notes anywhere yet. Searched through Verizon and Samsung's websites, nothing is posted yet. I'm guessing it is just a maintenance update.
New build number is JSS15J.I545VRUEMK2
Here's what I found about it.http://www.christianpost.com/news/galaxy-s4-software-update-coming-to-all-carriers-soon-110005/
So, I see it could help with the battery life.
Well I'm rooted and it failed to install so I wonder if the Vroot method will work with the new update or not....

I am rooted MJ7 and this update failed as well. Im sure there will be updates soon. Give it time.
Guys...if your rooted and you accept the OTA you could brick your phone. If your on a custom ROM most dev's remove the files necessary to take the OTA's. Simply be patient and wait for someone to, in the spirit of the holidays LOL :silly: , wrap it in a pretty little zip package then we can flash it via custom recovery.
I cant get the update since im not on MJ7 and no odin tar via kies or vzw update assistant . Someone has to post the update.zip from cache/fota before any analysis/editing can be done.

Can you post the OTA
Is it safe to assume that the OTA would fail if I'm S-Off with TWRP installed? I just S-off'd & rooted last night. Still running the stock ROM. Haven't made any other modifications other than uninstall a few preloaded apps.
What folder do I find the ota, so we can get this thing rooted?

S-Off is fine but you need the stock recovery to flash the ota. Also if you removed any stock software it may be a problem as well

IF youve already updated, the ota usually gets deleted after/during the reboot....if you postpone and reboot itll be either in the root of your storage or in downloads...

If you already updated to kitkat there is absolutely no way u can downgrade unless u updated it using surge update to kitkat. But right now u r stuck in kitkat. For me I am still on rooted mk2 waiting for a root for kitkat. U should of waited before updating.

You may want to search these threads. I don't remember reading about anyone trying to downgrade from NC5 back to MK2 yet, but I'm sure someone has at least tried. The leaked KK build (NC2) was able to be downgraded, but with some problems/issues.

There are some that tried and are now bricked until there is an ODIN file for NC5.
If root is important, one should just be patient, sit back, wait.

I'm always amused by these "I took the update... Help I lost root" posts. It takes time and unless you're actively working on a root solution.... Leave the people alone and let them work. If root is important to you, then never update until a solution is found first or your stuck. No amount of begging will find a solution faster.

Every time I think I will try to go without root'n, they screw something else up and I find I need it again. This sd permissions problem has really messed me up. I had to move 3gig worth of data back to my internal memory to get some of my apps to work and I don't have much room available on it. If I knew this, I wouldn't have upgraded.

Google put restrictions on SD cards that broke most programs that rely on them. Search for KitKat and sd card for more details.

From what I read, if the app is not one of the pre-installed apps that comes with the ROM then the app will not have permission to freely access the SD card. There is an App to fix this in the Play Store but I think the app needs root. This really sucks. I thought I used TB to freeze the OTA on my wife's phone but she approved the OTA last night and now I am stuck until someone creates a new root exploit.

There is now a method to update while keeping root. See here

this is still 5.0.1 (hence the LRX22C build number) but it fixes the Stagefright vuln as well as other stuff
or it's supposed to fix stagefright... lol. good ol sammy.
anyway, if you want root, don't take this update. be patient.

i have a feeling the conflict with kingroot on oc1 was samsung's auto-updating SELinux stuff. no user intervention, it just runs in the background. although those updates make the samsung keyboard not exploitable. lol.

LRX22C means nothing here (it just signifies 5.0.1, which is what most people are already running). It's what's at the tail end of the build number that counts - OF1. Reread the thread title, the OP and the linked article.

What's StageFright?
So being the n00b that I am, just to clarify, there is no functioning root for the Verizon Galaxy S4 with the specs i have (shown in my updated signature) short of using Odin and reloading 4.0?
Sir_Eagle said:

i'll try and sum it up
it was a security vulnerability discovered by jduck (Josh Drake) and, basically, someone can send you a malformed video through the MMS protocol and basically, malware would leak into your phone through that video message if it automatically downloaded.
the exploit specifically targets a system lib called "libstagefright.so" (clever name, eh?) and that library handles everything related to video playback. i think.
if you're not going to install of1, the best way to patch it right now would be to disable automatic downloading of mms messages through your messaging client. chompSMS has its own dealio with stagefright tho, and i've been using chomp for forever, so, yea.

well
if you took oc1 via ota, you could try to root using kingroot desktop, that seems to have mixed results.
if you have the nk4 bootloader, you can downgrade to nc5 and root that using towelroot (easiest method ever)
you can't downgrade to kitkat if you took oc1 via ota
Bren caught the update, but is still uploading it. Hopefully kingroot or something else will get root for others.

honestly, you could "fix" stagefright yourself by disabling automatic downloading of mms in your app
