Same as others. You won't see the update on them until they get the next batch in. If you are looking to get one , the time is now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jova33:
Oh yeah, didn't have the update, got mine on Friday. Although it did download the update, I just set the time to install the next day, then I put a custom ROM on this beast
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmk32:
Got mine on Wednesday. They were setting it up at the store and I could see the update loading. He had to pull the battery to do something with the SIM card, so the update stopped, and when the phone came back on (he was still setting it up to activate) he did something to delay the update.

The next morning, after having the phone on the charger all night (but shut off), when I turned it on in the morning, it was installing the update (must have somehow downloaded the rest overnight (but the phone was off? ). So I just let it go.

Didn't have much of a chance to do much with the phone besides downloading my apps the first day and setting up my go launcher settings, so having the update day 2,I couldn't tell any difference.

But this phone is a ton snappier than my old phone -HTC Rezound, and loving it so far. My main reason to root in the past was to get the latest version of Android, since HTC and Verizon neglected my old phone. This one has the latest version already and with 32gb internal, I'm not concerned with the bloat...

How much was the 32gb? I got my s4 16gb a few days ago and it was like $249 upgrade price at verizon store with $50 mail in rebate :crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] HowardZ:
I did my phone upgrade via flywire.com

The phone arrived without the sim card installed.

I left the sim card out

Rooted it, twrp, installed apps via wifi, froze SDM using titanium backup, made a nandroid backup, installed cleanROM.

One can do a lot without inserting the sim card.

Samsung asks to download something initially (over wifi) , and when booting up after performing a data reset. I always said NO just in case it was the dreaded ME7 update

Anybuddy who knows what they're doing wanna babysit an old guy?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eskomo:
Eventually if left alone it will auto update on its own. Doesn't matter if I you hit install later. Its reboots and installs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cruiserdude:
To everyone getting there's now, DO NOT put your SIM in if you want to flash anything at any point in the future. Make sure it says MDK in About Phone, then follow the guide to root MDK over in Development. Then, use Titanium Backup to freeze FWupgrade.apk and SDM.apk, or just delete them from /system/app. Then you can put your SIM in and activate it, and leave it alone if you don't actually want to flash anything yet (which is probably wise if the instructions I posted are a little daunting). But spend some time reading and learning, and eventually you'll want to flash, and your phone will be ready. If you don't do that and just activate it as is, your phone will update automatically. There's currently root on ME7, but nothing else, and you can't count on anything ever materializing, so play it safe.

If you really want or need features in stock ME7, then flash Darkslide (as close to stock as possible) or BoneStock (stock feel with some great tweaks). Flash the kernel in Darkslide (completely stock other than a fix for Apps2SD to work) or any custom kernel if you're into that (I certainly am, and personally recommend Elite kernel).

Best of luck!

I ordered mine from Wirefly. White 32g version and I received it yesterday. It came with MDK so I rooted right away and installed TWRP. Froze fwupgrade and SDM and all is good after I installed 4g card and activated. So it seems it is hit or miss with updated ones at this point but I go lucky
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Echo17121:
I got my 32 gig white on Wednesday. I could not get the damn thing to activate so I took it to the Verizon store and while walking out and receiving missed texts/e-mails, I saw the notification about the update. Didn't know about the issues with rooting/recovery so I just hit accept real quick. Now I am rooted but no recovery and I really really want to flash some mods to get rid of the annoying wifi notification and the green coloring. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] iamryfly:
I ordered one online from Verizon on Tuesday and luckily it came with MDK so I am able to fully enjoy a custom ROM.

I'll be honest with you, it was a bit nerve wracking going straight into phone settings to see what version I had. Made my day to see it was MDK!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Blue:
I actually just purchased my 32gb s4 this past tuesday and it did NOT come with ME7. I rooted it fine with motochopper and then I was prompted to update OTA and I selected yes because I did not know it would break my root so know i'm on ME7 just rooted.

My didn't come with ME7
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RaptorMD:
I just got my GS4 32GB today from ordering online with Verizon and both the box and the phone say ME7 software code. Sucks big time and now the only option is root, and wait for custom recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] iamryfly:
Where did yours ship from? Mine shipped from Nashville this week and had MDK on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jova33:
Send it back. You're in your 14 day window
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Wendemixda:
I just bought a used GS4 with a slightly cracked screen. When I activated it, I received the notification to update. I pushed to accept and it downloaded the update. However, there was an error message during the installation process and it said update failed. I repeated three or four times unsuccessfully. Then I read the issues about ME7. Checked my build number and it ends with MDK. I don't know why I wasn't able to Update but I'm glad it didn't work. Now hoping I won't have trouble with rooting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RaptorMD:
You only get one return within 14 days and that's it. Root is fine for now and I have confidence custom recovery will come along, eventually. I just get tired of the cat and mouse games from these carriers on top of their clear violations of FCC rules pertaining to spectrum rules and blocking of apps, yeah I am talking to YOU Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] _Gir_:
If you were successful or unsuccessful with buying one with MDK, please list

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] all3rd:
Hmm there was a 32 gb verizon version I never saw that one?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RaptorMD:
It's only available from online sales or telesales, the stores don't carry them. I would like to find a 3rd party reseller who does but then you get into the double whammy charge by the 3rd party seller IF you change the phone off the line within 6 months,or do anything. I barely keep one for 3-4 it seems.

32GB White Verizon Galaxy S4 ordered off of Vzw.com. Shipped from TN.

Ordered: 8/13/2013

Delivered: 8/15/2013

Came with MDK firmware. Flashed CWM & CM 10.2. Runs pretty well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheWhiteChallenger:
vzw store

Was there yesterday. 32gbs they had in stock all had mdk.

Software version is on the box BTW. Right where the meid is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RaptorMD:
Really, in NY they do not stock the 32GB ever so what state is that store in? I have considered checking out 3rd party retailers to see what they have for stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheWhiteChallenger:
idk what part of ny ur in cuz we got em
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] minionhunter:
Week ago, 16gb at store, returned next day, ordered white 32bg from store,

kept SIM card

, MDK in two days via FedEX.

MDK is indicated on outside of the box.

My guess is that they are all MDK right now. I would suggest ordering from the store, ask for the SIM card at the store (not mailed, so leave the store with the SIM card) to ensure that you have MDK. Don't put in SIM until after you root the phone and disable or remove the updating apps via something like titanium backup.

I'm no pro, but I've read a lot of threads on this, and it worked for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RaptorMD:
Upstate NY, and none of the stores carry the 32GB around here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheWhiteChallenger:
Random, I'm in Rochester. Must have just been random, or the girl I talked to was an idiot. I asked if they had 32gb s4's she said they did. I asked about s/w version. She didn't know so she went and checked in the back, came back Said it was mdk. So who knows.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RaptorMD:
If they do then that is a big surprise. Ever since the GS3 Verizon stopped carrying 32GB versions of the S series in store based on the face (they claim) that customers only buy the 16GB so why waste stock and retail space. Could be true, could be BS who knows for sure.

By the time I actually returned my phone, got a full refund and took the shot at ordering another one it could take me a couple of weeks since I have to get the phone returned in order to get my upgrade returned. What I am considering doing is checking a few Verizon 3rd party resellers to see what they carry, that I could have a shot at getting MDK.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Well, it's been fun. My Q was sitting on my lap instead of the seat next to me, and decided to go flying into a glass of water.

I was using it for navigation, and the damned thing worked - got me back to the hotel. I shut it off, threw it in a box of rice... But it seems like a lost cause.

The phone turns on, most of it even works - I can see the screen, it connects to data, accelerometer works, vibe works, alarms, notifications... all work. But the touchscreen critically does not.

I was thinking, just replace the touch screen... well the USB port doesn't seem to work anymore either. It charges, but only occasionally does the computer detect anything is plugged in... and it doesn't know what the heck to do with it.

So I'm going to try and find a Q for sale... although somehow I doubt I'll be able to. Swappa has 0 lol.

Not sure what I'll get, but I am going to miss this small but tight nit community. Cheers!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] oTToToTenTanz:
Oh no, not good! :( How long did u "dry" it before u turned it back on? Maybe u should've waited more??

Anyhow, there are lots on amazon and ebay if ur in the states, very cheap prices.

But of course, there are lots of other nice phones out there! Thanks for all you have done for the community!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] PythonFanTN:
Do you not have TEP? I actually just got a replacement due to my touchscreen crapping out (it would work sometimes after a reboot--or several reboots more accurately, but even then sliding the keyboard out always instantly made it stop working).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
No, I had TEP a while ago but let's just say they always managed to find a way to screw me. Got sick of it, and my last phone didn't even qualify for it...

That, and the whole voided warranty thing made me think it's really not worth it. Although in this case they would probably treat it as if the device was stolen, and make me pay the $100 deductible, or whatever it is now.

Looking at what it is going to cost to get another phone, I might just end up grabbing a Q on ebay. I really do like the physical kb, and there's really not a whole lot of choice out there (like I didn't know that already, lol).

We'll see. Since the thing still turns on and functions, I'm going to completely tear it apart when I get home and see if there's something obvious.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unai_goiko:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adsmji:
I'm sitting here with this exact problem. Anymore insight?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xd.bx:
I had the same problem as the OP. Can enter download mode just fine (thanks to Unbrickable Mod), but fails to print PIT or flash anything. I think the flash is fried, that would explain the problem. The phone however can still be used as a S5PC110 development platform so it's not completely useless.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unai_goiko:
I'm afraid I wasn't able to find a solution and that I gave up. I still have the phone, but i haven't tried to fix it again... :(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xd.bx:
By the way the other choice (in the drop down menu) which is Nexus S, in theory the proper choice, did not lead to a successful fastboot mode, the phone became totally unresponsive. That's presumably because the fastboot code tries to access the flash and gets stuck at this point. Like the OP I gave up.

The reason for the brick in the first place was that I removed the battery while the phone was booting (fresh ROM just installed). I guess there were some flash writes and the sudden power removal left the flash in a bad state. So don't do this.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fenderbass146:
I'm sure this has been asked but I just wanted to verify I had my information correct, I have rooted and put custom roms on a gs3 in the past so I have little experience but don't want to brick my gs4 and it seems it may be a slightly difference process.

Essentially I want to get CM10 on my Verizon GS4

I found these root directions here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2290798

They seem pretty straight forward. I would assume I follow these directions and install TWRP or clockwork mod after its rooted then just flash my roms, however I saw something about Loki on another thread and getting around the bootloader. Do I have to do anything special involving that or once I am rooted can I just install the custom recovery from the app store and start installing roms...

Also how do I check if I have the update that just came out that prevents flashing roms.

Sorry if this was asked but I didn't see my specific question anywhere and I would really appreciate the help.

Also would you recommend going with the google edition or CM10?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kyooshi:
Im fairly certain TWRP is pre-loki'd now, so you wont have to worry about it.

In about phone, look under baseband version, If it doesn't say i545VRUAMDK then you have the new update that isnt rootable yet.

And for your last question, i havent tried either of them yet (I'm on hyperdrive).

Interesting find, to say the least. I wonder what it is though. iFixit's pretty thorough, and I can't imagine they'd miss any obvious way into the casing...so whatever this trick tool is, it must be fairly clever (which could mean either brilliantly simple or...well, not. :P)

Only that the tool costs about 1 million dollars. :p Those bastards. I know people enjoy the kind of design like apple, but I prefer those that use screws.
