Hello everyone, I have a tabs3 LET from Verizon. Long story short, I do not have verizon anymore.
I try to update the normal way using OTA, but it fails with error code 402.
I tried "Verizon update assistant", it will not recognize the device.
I have searched google far and wide, to no avail.
Any suggestions for next step?
Any Ideas?

Have you tried using odin and stock firmware? I'm not sure on Verizon since they kind of lock down the device. If you do try it make sure you backup anything on your device you want to keep because it may wipe the device during the update.

ok my s4 currently is stock MI1
it was ME7 rooted with SS i never deleted any apps i just disabled them through app info never altered any system info
now would that mess up my binary count
when i updated to MI1 all i did was plug my phone into my mac and used kies to update it didn't go back to stock
would that take it back to 100% stock or would it be some kind of unofficial version
in odin mode it says official i don't get the custom padlock in my boot loader
ok my problem is every time i try and find the 4.3 update it says "Software update is temporarily unavailable. Try again Later"
i plug it into kies and it says that I'm on the most up to date firmware and when i use that verizon upgrade assistant thing the update/repair button can't be clicked and i got a message one time saying my firmware doesn't support updates or something along those lines
my problem is I'm on a mac so no odin does anyone have any ideas to what i could do to fix this
would mobile odin work or no

Not really sure what you think anyone here can do for you. It looks like a network problem. Maybe try contacting Verizon?

I'm just curious if updating through kies like i did send me back to 100% stock because that verizon back up assistant said my firmware doesn't support updates
Yeah, I had the exact same issue with the OTA. I did some reading around and the only fix I seemed to find was to go to a Verizon store and have them swap out your sim card. It worked for me...as soon as they swapped out the sim and rebooted my phone it instantly started downloading the OTA updated.
I read somewhere that getting your sim physically replaced isn't necessary. They said you could call Verizon and have them deactivate and reactive your sim card and it would do the same thing. I tried that...either the vzw rep didn't actually do it, or it didn't work. I know it's a hassle, but going down to a Verizon store is probably your best option.
As far as updating the phone through the Update Utility on the computer, I don't believe that the update is being rolled out through it yet. As of earlier today the update was only rolling out over the air.
Hope it works out for you!
I have a S4 ME7. I was stupid and accepted the most recent OTA update. While update was installing I got an error. Now the update is constantly asking for permission to install and it always gets the same error result. I get a message that states no changes made to the phone, but when I look at the Build number and Baseband version, it now says VRUDMI1. I don't want to lose root and I certainly don't want to brick my phone. How can I get past this problem?
There is some way to disable OTA updates. Just Google around. I read somewhere in xda.

MI1 is fine.
You can flash MI1 with ODIN and the use the root_de_la_vega methond to get root back.
I had the same issue. Now on MI1.
The only problem is if you want to run safestrap.

Sounds good. Only problem is I have never used Odin and I don't know how to do what you are suggesting. If I can get a little instruction, I am willing to give it a try.

I was searching to see if anyone else was having issues, but couldn't find any. I finally decided to turn the update off for the Verizon update, but it keeps saying unsuccessful and I'm assuming because the phone is rooted at the moment. Is there a way for me to install the mk2 update?

Nope, it'll install even though you're rooted, but you need to restore anything you've modified before the OTA will work - or at least any files that the OTA is trying to upgrade.

my guess is maybe the wifi tether, I was attempting to get it to work and there was a file or something to overwrite through a script from one of the threads I was reading. Could that be it?

Very likely the tether - it changes the framework, doesn't it? That's very likely to be updated by the OTA.
Yeah, i have the same issues.. When i download the update ( I'm on MJ7 Rooted) it says please install, i click okay. It reboots it goes into the recovery, tries to update but shows a Error Android image, Restarts, then displays this message saying Error Phone couldn't update nothing was effected or something like that.What's the issue?! i wanna update / root because this message for the update pops up every damn day and it's so annoying! Please help me.

Flash the MJ7 no-wipe ROM that you'll find in the Android Development forum. That will restore all of the stock files that you should need (and also cause you to lose root.)Then, update to MK2 and re-root.
I just received a notice from Verizonwireless that there is a new software update available. So I went ahead and downloaded the update and attempted to install it. After a few seconds a new window opened showing the stupid Android robot laying on its back and the word "error" displayed. Thinking something bogus is going on with my phone I did a factory erase and retried the software update - same results.
Any way to determine what the error is and correct it so I can do the SW update? Out of curiosity I tried using ClockworkMod Rom Manager to install a custom ROM but got the same error indication.
My phone is a Verizon Galaxy S4 with Andriod version 4.3. The baseband version is I545VRUEMK2.
Thanks.

Sounds like your phone has been rooted / modified. This would be why. Samsung + VZW conspire to make it a mess to update officially when you have modded the phone. Just install the update via the PC and Odin. It is more reliable anyway than OTAs. If there is not an official 4.4 Odin version yet, then install the MK2 update that way and then factory reset then take the OTA.
But sounds like you really aren't sure what you are doing because you should NOT be attempting to use ClockWorkMod Rom Manager on a Verizon S4 with that update!! With the whole locked bootloader fiasco, this operation is not permitted as you can only use the SafeStrap recovery system to load custom roms. Really have to read up some more before you get your phone into a situation it might not find it's way out of...

Hi es0tericcha0s - Thanks for pointing out that Rom Manager shouldn't be used on a VZW Galaxy S4. I knew that but totally forgot about that fact.

You're welcome. What you need is here:
http://nasirtech.blogspot.com/2014/04/i545vrufnc5-android-442-kitkat-firmware.html
Or a 100 other places, but that one came up first.
I also find it best to factory reset after the update for best results.
Hi,
I am on stock rom, not rooted but I have still not received the update for 4.4.4. I am sim-unlocked so i don't know if that has anything to do with it. Even when i try to manually search for the update through the settings, it says it can't find the update.
Appreciate any help!

Are you using the phone on the att network? If not you have to load it manually.

Yeah, I am on AT&Ts network. I have disabled AT&Ts apps though. Maybe that has something to do with it?

Depending on how you disabled them you might not even be able to flash the ota. You have to have untouched /system and stock recovery in order to take the ota.

Only disabled them through Settings->Apps. Didn't tinker with anything in this phone as i did with my previous ones.
If you don't mind setting up the phone again, you can RUU (will wipe user data).
Similarly, sometimes folks have gotten the OTA to kick in after doing a factory reset.
Neither of these are ideal I know. But it is what it is.
