Here's the recovery from MDB (should work fine with MDL as well)..

http://d-h.st/SE9

As for that samsung response, I don't buy it. They will put MF3 up on Kies once the rollout is complete. It would make no sense not to, and would only serve to increase warranty servicing..Even sammy ain't that dumb :silly:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] CAG-man:
So where does it say it will never be available? It looks to me as though they are waiting until full roll out for at the the present time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SaltyFoam:
That could be. Whuch is why the thread title has a '?' ;)

Here is their last response:

After reviewing your email, we understand that on your Samsung Galaxy S4 phone stopped working in the middle of the OTA update. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Updates for the Samsung phones will be released through OTA or Kies or sometimes both. But, in this case the update relased through only OTA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Aou:
"We apologize for the inconvenience." should instead read, "We owe you a new phone. Send it in, and we'll flash the firmware for you."

Almost sounds like you should try for a warranty replacement through the carrier, but chances of getting a refurbished phone are high. If going for a warranty replacement/repair through Samsung, I'm not sure what their policies are.

Still working on the MF3 system dump. Planning to release it in several different forms all at once:

CWM-Flashable ROM .zip

Odin tarball, based on a make_efs4fs dump directly

Odin tarball based on make_efs4fs dump, modified with Chainfire's sgs4ext4fs

System & Kernel images file dumped using dd

Odin tarball created from image file

I'll be travelling for part of today, so I won't be able to get to it until later.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SaltyFoam:

Best of luck with the Odin flashes! I am really hoping that something will work for you. One of them is still uploading tonight, but you could theoretically re-create that one with the other files provided.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SaltyFoam:
and so it goes...

Aou,

I am downloading the various files now. Thanks for the effort on behalf of the community. After reading through the R&D thread, the you referenced, I have serious doubts as to being able to push any of this onto the brick. It will be a wait and see game regarding samsungs release of MF3 via Kies. One lingering question: Would it be possible to have the an MDL phone download the OTA but prevent from installing, copying the OTA version of the update, then converting that to an odin flashable package without losing the Smasung signature? I am sure there would be some interesting gymnastics is such a feat... I sure someone is trying it... In the meantime I will report back (on the new thread) with my results.

Digitronically Yours,

Saltyfoam...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Aou:
We're half-way there: The first thing I did with the MF3 update was download it without installing, and I posted it here. Converting it to an Odin-flashable directly would probably never work (can't think of any feasible way to make it work in Odin): The file itself mostly only contains patch files, and a script that runs through a long process of flashing stuff and patching stuff.

It's unfortunate that you had to give up, but I am happy for you that they will be replacing your phone, for free, with the upgraded shipping for free. At the very least, we can put this one to rest. If there are others out here in the same exact situation (sounds like there are), they might want to follow suit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SaltyFoam:
And in the End

I got the new phone today and was disappointed to see that it already had MF3 on it... :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Aou:
AND SO IT BEGINS. :(

You might wish to post a new warning thread in General to let people know that we're going to start seeing a lot more MF3 people now. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] nicholascap:
Im right there will ya man, samsung really suxs. Im locked out of my phone and need the MF3 update to fix it and it is not on KIES and no where to be found online.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] 5>4:
I just chatted with someone at samsung. I didn't grab the transcript, but what I was told was that the update wasn't on kies yet, but to keep checking back for updates. Sounds a little more hopeful. I can't imagine it should be too much longer, but if it is, I may have a spare screen to donate to a dev. I might have to upgrade to a Nexus 4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
The MF3 update is no different than the MDL update. The MDL update started as an OTA update as well. The reason Samsung support said it was not available via Kies is because it's not available via Kies. Updates can be delivered in 2 ways, as OTAs and via Kies. This MF3 update as well as the last MDL update was only available as an OTA. However, the firmware (known as emergency firmware restore through kies) should be available in the near future. Again, this will not be the MF3 update that will be available on Kies, it will be the full firmware. It should be released from Samsung first as a stand alone Firmware and then sites like Sammobile will get ahold of it. Nearly, at the same time, Kies will be updated for MF3 emergency firmware installs. This should all happen soon but won't happen until Samsung is satisfied the the entire roll-out of the MF3 OTA has been completed. So no ETAs, just watch Sammobile for the firmware and the availability via Kies.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] j510:
Stating the obvious. By the way Sammobile is a fanbased site fyi. They get firmwares just like all of us. MDL did have a kies update. And emergency firmware restore IS the full firmware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
Yes, Sammobile is a fanbased site, and they are also on their game. The full firmware for MDL was available on SamMobile before it was ever posted here. I know this because I was the first one that posted about it's availability in Adam Outler's Odin firmware restore thread in the development section. The MDL update was an OTA update, Kies only offered the full firmware version and that was along the same time the firmware was available via SamMobile which was some time after the MDL OTA was pushed to phones. Kies could not issue the partial update that was available via OTA, it would only offer the full version of the MDL firmware which was different (a larger file as it was the entire firmware and not just the updated files that were pushed via OTA). Adam posted a method for obtaining the full firmware from Kies in his thread as well.

It is the same thing for MF3. The MF3 OTA only has the files that are being changed / updated for the phone (new bootloaders, etc...). When it is available on kies, it will be the entire MF3 firmware (an entire ROM). There is a difference between the two. Kies can be used as just an updater (similar to just what is offered in the OTAs), but in the case of MF3 and MDL, it has not been used in that manner, it is just used as a means to emergency (re)install the complete firmware package and not just some of the files as an update to an already existing firmware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] 5>4:
I just got a message that there was a kies update available, it failed, and then when I checked in kies, it said I had the current version. Don't know if it was important, but it had a lot of files.

Edit: nvm, it just hadn't pushed an old update to me.

I have had this phone fur a year and I know I'm hacked. Apps open by themselves and I always have high data usage. I took a few screen shots that I thought might be helpful? Haha please help!!!!
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
I highly doubt you're hacked. I see you have the Facebook app installed; that's known to drain your battery. Have you gone into its settings to make sure it's not set to auto-refresh at high intervals? I think the default is every 15 minutes. What about Google+? Is it set to automatically upload your photos and videos? And finally, I see you're on Sprint, which has LTE almost nowhere. Is your LTE set to on?

[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
Are you using Google Now? That's known to destroy battery life by at least 30% (its been tested). Turn that off. It keeps your location services running 24/7.

Worst case, I'm not sure if your device is rooted or not (it doesn't matter), but try and wipe it and "start over" if you can. Make sure your contacts are synced with Google, and if your photos are on your internal storage, move them to your computer or your SD card. Then go into Settings -> Security -> Factory Reset.

[Asus Transformer TF700] B00T_Sp0rk:
Android 4.3 is expected to be announced at Google's special event today (7/24/13). I'll update with details as they're announced.

JB 4.3 Features

-Multi-User with Restricted profiles - restrict apps and DLC on a per-user basis

-OpenGl ES 3.0 support

-DRM APIs (1080p Netflix support)

-New Gapps layouts (optimised for new Nexus 7 res, which happens to match our own 1920x1200)

-New Chrome/Maps/Hangouts features (which I can't imagine are locked to 4.3)

-Play store tablet app discovery enhancements (tablet filter, dedicated games app, etc.)

Let's talk about the update in relation to the TF700.

What features are you hoping for?

Is this device still relevant enough for Asus to update?

What features can be ported to 4.2 without a full 4.3 ROM (a la the 4.2 keyboard into 4.1)?

Post your thoughts, my lovelies.

EDIT: My thoughts-

The biggest news here seems to be OpenGL ES 3.0. Everything else sounds fairly independent from the framework. I'm sure there are optimizations under the hood, but nothing mindblowing is apparent based on the announcement.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ishamm:
the new graphics processing seems like it will help with smoothness and efficiency, early reports are suggesting battery improvements to, that cant hurt anyone XD
[Asus Transformer TF700] B00T_Sp0rk:
OpenGL 3.0 is only going to help apps and devices that support it. This will not impact system smoothness directly.

Maybe someone who knows more about this can comment, but I was under the impression that it's a moot point for us anyway, even in games. Tegra 4 is not 3.0 compliant, nevermind Tegra 3. I'm not sure whether that means 3.0 elements cannot be rendered, but our SoC is certainly not optimized for it at the very least.

I've read similar things about smoothness and battery, but you have to remember that those leaks were from Nexus (and Nexus Experience) hardware. We can hope those improvements will trickle down to us, but it's impossible to tell whether the benefit observed was framework level or driver level.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ishamm:
http://developer.android.com/about/versions/jelly-bean.html i meant the other rendering changes, as seen here. i too am not sure what 3.0 will do for us.
[Asus Transformer TF700] huy_lonewolf:
I have read somewhere that people were reporting better performance and battery life with Android 4.3 on the Nexus 4. We may not get all the benefits of Android 4.3, but overall performance should have some improvements, which is the most important thing to me. We now have multi-threaded hardware-accelerated 2D renderer, apart from other optimizations that Google didn't mention. Overall, as Android is now more or less a mature platform, I am expecting updates that enhance performance from now on, which is a good thing because having lags on quad-core devices in 2013 is unacceptable. The only feature that I am dying to see on Android tablets is something like Samsung's multi windows or Cornerstone.

[Asus Transformer TF700] becomingx:
Anybody else notice this bit from the above link?

Seems like this would effectively kill superuser programs that have a GUI component. Of course it might just be as simple as remounting the partition without that option to work around it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sparkym3:
It will kill the current implementation of superuser as each app would not be able to elevate to root, but each of the main superuser apps are currently in the process of changing how the superuser process works. (one cannot just remount /system since this is at the per app level) Both apps’ developers are going the route of launching a daemon during initialization from a thread that still has all the required permissions. This will then always run in the background and service the apps as a pass through, though this may require some modifications from some apps that utilize superuser.

This daemon method was already needed prior to the change that set nosuid on /system due to the fact that apps were already being limited in other ways due to other recent changes. You may have seen this if you tried to mount a file system as r/w in one app but it still appeared ro in another.

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Asus are still releasing 4.2.1 updates. I reckon it'll be at least September maybe even October before we see a 4.3 update. Although they were fairly quick with 4.2 it still took from Feb to May to get a release out for the TF700.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KinetiClutch:
Hopefully at the IFA we get some more news regarding the 'new' TF Infinity.

If that turns up and will be launched with 4.3 then it could mean we might be seeing it sooner rather than later. However, I still expect 4.3 to come eventually even if just based on the 2 year average support provided by most companies
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pyperkub:
FWIW, it appears as if they yanked 4.2. I recently got mine back from a warranty repair (digitizer was acting up with phantom touches - at first I thought it would randomly lock, but once I enabled developer options- show touches I could see the problem), and I noticed that it had 4.1.1. I must have hit Update 15 times that evening trying to get it to update to 4.2.1, so I could restore my Titanium backups, but it never came up.

I went looking for it, and it appears to have been pulled. Unless anyone else has any info?

Hate to say it, but I have to agree with this. I can hope, but I don't expect it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] B00T_Sp0rk:
This is the worst kind of speculation, but the ONLY thing Google has said about KitKat is:

"It's our goal with Android KitKat to make an amazing Android experience available for everybody."

(http://www.android.com/kitkat/)

I think the Google experience phones show that the Android team is thinking about ways to catalyze consistent software upgrades. I have no idea how that notion would materialize into something positive for us, but that "available for everybody" clause makes me think the situation isn't futile.

But take that with a GIGANTIC grain of salt. There's basically no point in speculating right now. Keep in mind that a name change signifies a major revision. There might be some hardware limitation or driver problem that makes further support difficult for Asus. Based on how CM 10.2 is performing, though, the community might have a better handle on it. It helps that the OG Nexus 7 will almost definitely get an OTA.
