I'm getting my popcorn and waiting for the river of tears to start flowing..."Guys, I accidentally took the OTA, what do I do now?"

or the ever so hilarious, my girlfriend / kids / someone else took the update on my phone and it wasn't my fault, what can I do......

Of course, it depends on if LOKI was patched or not, it still might be possible to ODIN back to MDL, but we won't know until someone has to try.

Yeah, I'm waiting for someone to upload it.

I wonder if geohot's S4 Active root will work on the new OTA? It would need to be modified slightly because his APK checks to make sure the phone is the Active.

ok, after upgrade to mf3, my att s4 not able to use ota rootkeeper to restore the root. and I also try the motochopper, still can't root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] oldblue910:
Then that means the exploit has been patched, so you're going to need to wait for another exploit to be released before you can root again.

I'm noticing that when you run "su" you are not getting a "#" prompt afterwards. Are you sure you're rooted? If so, did it prompt you to Grant root permissions?

I have the custom unlock emblem an can disable att apps. Root check says root access available
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Aou:
I ended up needing to replace the device. The old device would not take anything, not even MF3 bootloaders, etc. Basically, mismatched e-fuses.

Something is wrong, still. After executing "su", you should see your prompt change to a hash sign #. Might try it from ADB instead?

I just got an S4 and its baseband is I337UCUAMDL and Kernel 3.4.0-453947.

I am assuming I don't have the apps to sd update. How do i get it? i am running out of space on my device and want to move some of the apps to SD.

I tried connecting the phone to Kies and it says no firmware update found. I tried doing the update through the phone, it says i have the latest firmware
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jd1639:
You sure you want the update? Just today there is finally a way to root it, still no custom recovery or roms. If you don't care about any of that then it's just a waiting game. It's rolling out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Vaygr:
I agree, who know how far away is 4.3 with root + recovery? ATT could push out 4.3 anytime :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cyberdentist:
Since I just got the phone yesterday, I am going to play with Stock rom for a month or two . I probably am not going to root it and put other ROMs until I know for a fact all the bugs have been fixed.

So i guess i just wait for the update to show up on my phone? The problem is I use Navigon and it uses 2GB space and I don't have that space on my device :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Febby:
If you don't want the device.update to mf3 that will render your device to only root I suggest you root stock ROM now and freeze the update process. :p

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jd1639:
Go for it then. I'm betting on the awesome developers we have on xda. No custom recovery, no awesomeness.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Solange82200:
Just beware that if your phone messes up somehow, you can't restore to stock using kies or Odin yet. You will be stuck with a brick or glitched phone until Samsung releases the file for the firmware. I personally would use a rom that gives you the mf3 updates without the locked bootloader (so if something goes wrong you can use kies or Odin to return to stock). It's a win win. But to each their own, just as long as everyone is aware of the pros and cons that's what's important.

I've already had to restore to stock once because my phone was showing huge discrepancies in the storage space (like showing 9 gigs of TOTAL space instead of 16),so I'm paranoid of not being able to restore if needed. I'm using a great Rom that is basically the mf3 update, which means it has all the improvements without the locked bootloader, which gives me custom recovery and ability to restore if needed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cyberdentist:
I downloaded the MF3 firmware and updated the phone using stock recovery. It basically wiped out all my settings and I had to reconfigure everything again. Wasn't a big inconvenience cos I had not set up my phone completely. Now I have the MF3 update! Thanks to this thread.

By the way, anyone figure out how to add shortcuts to the lock screen with pattern lock enabled? I could do it in S3 but can't in S4 and find it strange they removed that!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] oldblue910:
You can't, and if you had it on your S3, you must have been using a custom ROM. Lockscreen widgets were new in 4.2.x and there is no official 4.2.x ROM for the S3. That said, though, it is definitely pretty dumb that Samsung took that out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cyberdentist:
You are mistaken. I didn't say widgets, I just said shortcuts. Shortcuts were on S3. I don't need widgets but I really could use shortcuts.

By the way, guys if you are experiencing wi-fi issues especially noticed with Dlink routers, this update fixes it!

This was haunting me and my wifi (I use Dlink DIR-655) was dropping every 5 min and I had to manually disable and enable wifi to get connected again. It was a big mess. Fortunately the new update has resolved that issue.

Also, the UI was faster and I think it maintained the sim unlock that i did using the hidden menu's. I don't see a reason to root and install custom roms. I love some of the features and apps on Touchwiz. Multi Window, OCR software, Camera modes, S memo, Watch on app, etc etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] oldblue910:
Doh! I should have read more carefully. You can enable lock screen shortcuts on the GS4 MF3 ROM by going to Settings - Lock Screen - Shortcuts. With pattern lock enabled, you won't be able to, I don't think. :/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] SDO1000:
I received my S4 with UCUAMDL and was able to root it. After the motochopper reboot, the OTA started to download. I turned off my phone to stop the download. Could anyone suggest a course of action from this point? I haven't even signed into my Google account at this point which would require turning on the wifi / mobile data.

Thanks for any advice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sphyyr:
OTA should be mobile I believe if you remove your Sim it 'shouldn't' start.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] T90:
Boot up, turn on airplane mode and freeze all the OTA apps with Titanium Backup. Turn airplane mode off and you should be good to go!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] SDO1000:
Thanks for the responses. When I turn on wifi only, it says it's downloading "device management software". Since I'm new to this, I don't know if that's the MF3 update or not. I don't have Titanium installed yet since I haven't had an opportunity to sign in to my Google account. I'll keep looking to see if I can figure something out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] graydiggy:
Remove the SIM card as suggested.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Bucknut89:
Link for MF3 Update Non Root

Can you please send me the link and instructions as well? Kies doesnt show it and Software Update on the phone says it has been interrupted whenever I try to download.

Thanks in advnace.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cubanghost:

Correct. To block future OTA updates, "Freeze" the following three applications:

AT&T Software update Vxx_x_xxxx_x_x

FWUpgrade x.x.x

LocalFOTA vx_xxxx_x_x

cannot seem to find FWUpgrade anyware in the apps to freeze. should i be looking somewhere else..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] movielover76:
Poor bastards

Me too, root method is already known to be patched and they updated various boot files, I know we don't 100% know yet, but I'd be willing to bet money that even when root is achieved again, we will find the loki exploit we use to install custom roms has been patched, and that locked bootloader is a much bigger problem than root.

I'm on cleanrom with any OTA processes frozen just incase, so I'm watching the show.

I let it patch my MDM modem, my NON-HLOS modem, and my RPM partition.

I now have no sound, at all. >_<

I flashed the RPM.mdn from the MDL update, still no sound.

I flashed the MDL modem package from the forums here, still no sound.

Any suggestions before I take more drastic measures?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] WoodburyMan:
Full MDL flash via Odin? Then factory reset from stock recovery to wipe Data partition.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] oldblue910:
FYI it looks like you can't flash back to MDL or MDB from MF3. Odin fails as soon as it begins.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] iB4STiD:
wow not good....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] WoodburyMan:
Ouch. So looks like Samsung is taking the Apple route....

Would it be possible to flash just the modem from MF3? I'm running CM10.1 and don't care about anything but the modem in case it has some improvements.

i'll be using MDL as a base to restore from via Odin should I ever need to never flashing MF3. If I did a full Odin MDL after flashing a MF3 modem would that cause issues?

Agreed. I patched my modem (and rpm) and I have no sound. Still working on that, though. I only have MDB odin image handy, so I'm going to try that first.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] WoodburyMan:
Thanks!

Ouch. Yep. Will be steering clear of anything MF3 for the time being then....

There's no reason to run MF3 when you can just run Goldeneye that has all the features and is even quicker than it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Percy_ARS:
Same question

I have the same question. I am on fido BTW and still waiting for the OTA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jeboo:
That is ominous. I would almost guarantee aboot has been patched against loki (must be confirmed by djr). Not touching this build..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Aou:
Aboot was certainly patched, but no way to tell if it was patched against loki without root/recovery. Or a brave (and foolish) soul to do partial updates, like I've been trying. :P

EDIT/ADD:

UPDATE: I have sound back after Odin back to MDB. Gotta re-root, re-install recovery, and restore some nandroids from a little while ago. :P Afterwards, I'll try playing with the MF3modem again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jeboo:
Wait, so you were able to ODIN back to a previous build?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] AxAtAx:
Dude, thanks for all your work here. serious
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Aou:
I've been dissecting the MF3 patch and only allowing it to patch certain parts - not letting it touch my aboot or sbl's, etc. In doing so, I lost sound, and I was able to Odin back to MDB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] scarmon25:
Do you loose sound with just the modem. Very curious to know if the modem would effect CM.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] adam13141:
Thanks for the advice. The download started immediately when I got home and I was able to freeze it with Titanium Backup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Reinaldo33897:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
It can.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Aou:
Got everything back to normal again, with sound, on my stock-ish MDL build. Tried again with the MF3 modems:

-NON-HLOS modem image

-MDM modem image

And upon first start, I have no sound (not even boot sound). Currently reverting to a nandroid to see if that's an easy fix for the no-sound (keeping MF3 modem).

Well damn. That sucks.

That you had such an issue with it that is.

It'd be great if somebody who took the entire OTA update would be willing to try to ODIN back to MDB/MDL. This is the most important Q right now..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] DanMc85:
I checked the update log for the build. Here are the changes (at least the public ones, not sure about Loki etc...)

Enables LTE Bands 2 and 5

NFC Broadcom Chipset firmware update

Reboot issue fix

Drive mode SMS fix

Wi-Fi compliance fix

E-mail/Calendar fix

Nothing to special except maybe NFC update. Would be nice if just the modem/nfc could be updated and nothing else... i'm running the Omega 7 rom on my att s 4 anyways...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Aou:
Thanks. It looks like the MDL modem .zip that I got here on the forums is packaged wrong! It flashes a file named NON-HLOS.bin to mmcblk0p19, but it is certainly not a NON-HLOS binary (that would normally belong in mmcblk0p1). Found this out the hard way when I flashed this wrongly-named file to mmcblk0p1 and nearly bricked my device. o_O

All is good now, I'm temporarily on MDB. It seems that simply manually (using dd) flashing back and forth between MDB and UF3 modems/NON-HLOSs is completely harmless, except that you lose all sound capabilities. :P

Investigating still, but it's lunch time.

Hi , i have a question, OTA means a software update right? this is my first android phone, i used to have apple, so i was wondering , when there is an update you mean that their is a new android OS update ? cause i see you guys saying an at&t update so that means that at&t releases updates for my s4? what kind of updates would be that? wouldnt be samsung in any case the one who releases updates for the phone ?

please excuse my ignorance but i want to learn, thanks in advance :laugh:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] DanMc85:
It is a samsung official update but att pushes them over the air to the phones wirelessly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] HiTideBlastoise:
I'm in the same boat. I don't think so, I might root when I get home.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] WoodburyMan:
Yes. OTA means Over The Air update, sent directly to the phone from Samsung that were approved by AT&T, just like what iOS 6+ allows, so you don't need a computer to update the software. It's the same version of Android (4.2.2) but it contains fixed for certain thinks like Modem updates for our particular phone and such. And in this case it doesn't allow people to root (equivalent of Jailbreak) the device to allow for custom software and firmwares to be fun.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Aou:
Probably not a bad idea. Keep in mind it would technically void your warranty to do so, but if you are _ever_ planning to root in the future, now would be the time to do so. ;)

Also, don't wait too long - the MDL update was forced upon most users that downloaded it and waited to apply.

EDIT: typo on MDL ...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] zarbon:
Do you think you can root even though the update will apply on reboot?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] d4rkboss:
Thank you so muuuch

Thanks thanks thanks:highfive: , so if someone updates it phone right now , it will lose the root(jailbreak ) and will have to wait until some one find an exploit to root the new version right? another question i have is, when you change of ROM that means that the phone wont be using android anymore and will use another custom OS?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] scarmon25:
The update flashes a new boot loader. If it flashes that then it will erase root and you won't get it back until a crack is developed for the BL. Until then you would be unroofed.

I337 CM10.1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Aou:
If you were to use motochopper right now to root, you could theoretically use the temporary root access that it grants (when motochopper says to "press enter to reboot" - DO NOT) to delete \cache\fota\2400258.cfg at the very least. It would be slightly complicated, but theoretically possible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] HiTideBlastoise:
Could I unroot for anything that is in warranty? Like if I needed to send it in
