Does anybody have any news or information about the OTA after OC1 on Verizon? I was going to Odin restore my phone on fresh OC1 (my bootloader has already been updated, so I'm stuck anyway), but I happened to check if there was another update and there is one. I'm curious as to what it actually is, and if it will make my phone run a little smoother or not.
Munir_ri just posted a safe way to update. The fix fixes stage fright...

My phone use to be running stock rooted 4.2. I kept receiving messages about the OTA Update. I was going to take the update because I was having problems with my rooted 4.2, however, my phone would not take the OTA update. I think it was trying to tell me something lol. So i downloaded the official 4.3 file from the Samobile website. I used Odin to flash it to my phone. After doing this my phone has been a huge hunk crap. The thing that annoys me the most is that the vibration feature is not working. So read where people were talking about using Odin to reflash the 4.3 file. My only question is will this brick my phone? I haven't found any definitive posts reassuring me that my phone will work again after doing this. I just know that the 4.3 pretty much has everything on lock down and didn't want to brick my phone by trying to re-install it.
Alright so I was on MDK Hyperdrive and I used ODIN to return to complete stock MDK. I want to set this straight. I dont care about rooting or unlocked bootloader. I just want to get to the newest Verizon firmware. I want my phone to be as if I just picked it up from the Verizon store.
Anyways I downloaded the software update and ran it but if failed. Why? I don't know. Does anyone know how I can just get to complete stock and then update to newest firmware?
This is ridiculous...no reason why this update shouldn't work...just keeps failing. Maybe it is a kernel issue? IDK

Thanks I will try that
My mom's s4 is getting an update notification that fails to install, honestly I don't remember what modifications I've done to it. I'm assuming root, not sure if knox is tripped. What's the new build number I need to update to (aka so I can find a guide to update and keep root, if that's possible at this point)?
Thanks
It is NG6, it is really buggy as of now and shouldn't be installed. Freeze the SDM and you should be good.
Apologies as I searched for the last two days, and still not sure I have the answer to this.
My phone did the automated update to NK4 this summer. It then failed to do the upgrade to 5 or 5.1. I made the mistake of rooting it, thinking I could just put a custom ROM on, but (if I'm correct) that's not possible from NK4?
Assuming that is correct, is there any way to fix my phone so that it will do the stock update? Everything I read says that once I'm rooted, there's no way to do the stock update. True? Did I screw myself?
Right now my phone is running VERY buggy with seriously reduced battery life. I need to do something.
thanks
You can Odin to nc5 and root with towel root. If you want to keep root don't ota use a method that doesn't upgrade bootloader past nk4 like muniz.

Hi there. I just broke my s6 and so had to go back to my old s4, heh. I currently have a rooted OC1, and I was looking at the latest info on available root methods and see that the OF1 can be rooted using kingroot. My phone shows an OTA available but repeatedly fails when trying to update.
My question is, should I try to figure out what is causing the failure, update the "right" way, and then root with kingroot? Or should I just figure out another way to get the update, like I think the old way was to downgrade to OC1, root, then odin the OF1 update. Should I just do that?
This happens when you try to ota on a rom which has root or has been modified. Just dont update it doesnt add any features
