Are we sure that just rooting SHOULD trip it? I'm not so sure... this phone I've never installed a custom ROM on, and I've been very conservative with even hacking system or config files... stock works well enough for me, so it's just rooting that I've done. I wonder if those seeing the counter bumped up had it bumped up before this update and just didn't notice? (wasn't there some at least "stub" Knox code in the previous update? Thought I remembered seeing it... maybe enough for the counter?)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] wraith404:
That's excellent. Did you have SuperSU installed as a system app?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fzammetti:
That was my first thought too. That begs the question: if you ODIN back to MF9 and your counter was previously tripped, will it reset? Because if so then I'd suggest people that are concerned with that warranty flag might want to do that before updating to 4.3, and just keep letting SuperSU do it's survival thing, at least until that fails with some later update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JrQuesh:
Have any of you tested the camera app? I thought with 4.3 we were supposed to get photosphere? Is it not there or am I just not able to find it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fzammetti:
You know, I'm frankly not sure... however, I don't believe so... I don't recall ever hitting that option (and I in fact remember specifically NOT hitting it because I didn't want to risk that causing an OTA failure)... plus, I just looked in /system and I'm not seeing any root-related files (unless it puts it in a subdirectory of /system, then I wouldn't have found it).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] crawrj:
UhOh. I think I'm hosed. I tried to do a data restore in TWRP. It failed and the phone wouldn't boot. I tried to Odin stock MDC, MDL and MF9. All fail with an error in download mode. #$*#
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ram9200:
I did the same thing run cf auto root in I'd in again and it will reboot

Your okay trust me
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fzammetti:
I just launched it... got an "updating camera firmware" toast for 10 seconds or so, but I don't see any photosphere anywhere... I might just not know how to get into it though, but it's not under the Mode button anyway, which seem like the obvious place to look.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ram9200:
It appears we can't go back to mf9
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] chicagoaan:
Doh'
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Cooljb:
Recovery???

Never mind, I was finally able to boot into recovery. It looks different than before too - bigger fonts, different colors too maybe.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ram9200:
okay crawj will you respond that your phone is okay already!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] galaxys3man30:
Oh no buddy no good might have to flash the pit file or basically the unbridled method on qbking77.com buddy
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ram9200:
no he just needs to odin cf root again, he can still get into download mode. I did the same thing and ran cf auto root in odin and bingo phone rebooted
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] maxpower7:
Menu is unnecessary. Volume down + power will get you there :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] skyyrocket:
Yea once updated you can't go back its the same way with international S4 Knox BL'S won't let you

not if he is still reading the thread and his messaging we didn't
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] crawrj:
Nope. Still stuck at the S4 screen. Let it sit for a while. I think the data restore did something horribly wrong.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mjs2011:
has anyone else still nor gotten the ota? I'm still waiting....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] chris-allen:
Me too
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] luci89:
You're not alone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] animal7296:
I went into recovery to run the update and I saw an android laying on its back with a red triangle. I did the update and it is still there and in download mode it says knox warranty void 0x0.

Is that android normal or is something wrong? I never took notice of it before.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] chicagoaan:
No OTA in Frisco. Which might be a good thing seeing as I can see what issues I will face after updating watching this thread.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] galaxys3man30:
Oh OK I see buddy I was saying that just help replace any damaged files

Was your data from 4.3 or 4.2.2 buddy that could have been a issue too
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] xxaddictedxx:
is i possible to take the Mf9 img and decompile it add in the new patches and recompile for a flashable version? odin or otherwise? im no dev so i dont know if its even possible but seems logical from what i do know........?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bondosho:
Downloaded the update, but when it went to install, I got an error. Now while my phone boots and seems to work normally, shutting down now shows me the boot sequence. Tried to update via the zip, and I still get the error. Guess I'll re-odin to mf9 and try again. Ugh.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] aypanthony:
No OTA here either-MN.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] crawrj:
OK I think it was a mental fart on my end. Looks like I put 2.5.0.2 on the phone to try and restore. But I originally had 2.6.3.1. So I made a tar version of 2.6.3.1 and am trying it now.

Edit: BTW I am in panic mode for probably the first time ever :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ricketkm:
Is it possible for someone to send me the ota zip for me to go back to stock rom please, I am at work and I can't download it because of my company's network.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] galaxys3man30:
Don't worry there's enough brain power here to get you fixed up buddy
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] xxaddictedxx:
dont worry crawrj if it dosent work well send out the developer down signal to all of XDA and get you a shiney new one lol.....cant go loosing one of our devs
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mjs2011:
Panic mode sucks and is critical. I normally give myself 5 minutes to breath and analyze before doing something that could make it worse.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Cooljb:
When I opened the camera it did update the camera firmware. Don't see photosphere though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] crawrj:
LOL that's what I said. I think I see what happened now. I had 2.6.3.1 on the phone before updating and that is where I made the backup. But after the update I put 2.5.0.2 on the phone. When I tried to restore data it failed. So I tried it again. This time I thought I hit data but hit system by mistake. It wiped the system partition first and then failed to restore. Which is a horrible thing to do. So it wouldn't boot. I am now restoring a backup on 2.6.3.1. It didn't error out at least.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JoeFCaputo113:
What a great day for the Sprint community. Just read from page 11 till the last page lol damn that was exhausting. DL'ing stock odin MF9 and gonna sideload the MJA update and do it that way.

PS- Anyone here live in NY and get the update?! I know, I know it's not location based, I'm just wondering lol...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mjs2011:
I don't know man. 6 people in my city. All haven't received it yet. I am going to debunk this location theory if we all get it within an hour of each other. MUWAHAHAHAHA!

I have heard that OTA's are pushed by serial number sequences not locations.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] animal7296:
Is this normal to have in recovery or is there a problem?

Chatting with Sprint is just the worst. The reps never know what they're talking about and it always takes forever to get a response. It's almost as bad as talking to them on the phone.

Try to find at least a 2.6.3.4 or higher TWRP. According to N3 logs: (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2471564) this seems to have fixed the restore issues. You'll also see bigbiff's notes on how to get past a bootloop if that's where you're stuck, crawj.

Everyone else - I wouldn't try restoring any backups until a version that is known to handle SELINUX properly is available. It was a known issue at N3 launch.

Lol you guys too. We arent all bad! Hit me up if you have questions or need help. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] wsoxfan1214:
So if I backup everything and then Odin back to stock MF9 before updating to the new one, then restoring data, should it work?

Or should I just wait for a flashable, rooted zip of the new one? I have no issue waiting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Highway 55:
Yeah that file wasn't working for me either. 7zip kept erroring while trying to extract. I found this post containing a link to an official MF9 .tar.

For those of you that have received the OTA. Did you pre-order your phones or did you buy on or after release day at a retail store? I'm just curious because I pre-ordered mine, and haven't received the notification for the OTA yet. I would imagine that the pre-order phones have lower serial numbers than the release day ones, but who knows with Sprint...

WARNING!!!!

I was just messing around with some settings on my phone... I switched the network type to automatic (from LTE/CDMA because that seemed like a reasonable choice), and also enabled the option to allow location detection even when wi-fi is off and turned on the option to automatically switch networks (the one about stabilizing Internet connection- seems like a good idea, no?)... now though, I can't boot past the Sprint startup screen. No idea what's going on, if it was one of those options or not... I had rebooted I think three times since doing the 4.3 update, and I hadn't done anything else, so it sure seems to be those setting changes. I can't get into safe mode now even, and it looks like a wipe is in my future :( ARGH.

UPDATE: After a dozen or so reboots (thanks to my son for pulling me away from waiting for it to restart due to me needing to enter the new password on Xbox for him!) it *finally* rebooted. I changed all the settings back to what they were and the next reboot was perfectly normal. So, while I can't say anything definitively, it sure *looks* like at least one of those settings is a Very Bad Thing(tm) after this update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] galaxys3man30:
Your welcome buddy anytime
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rdalrymple:

I just did my update following these instructions worked great..

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] neudof:
WARNING - ROOT BROKEN!!

Here is what I did

download and install the stock rooted rom via mobile odin using the instructions in the OP of the thread I linked above - let device fully boot up.

run triangle away - let device fully boot up

Open SuperSU Pro and check survival mode

download the update to your SD card and install

After rebooting it took a little while before I got the update complete message so wait for that before continuing.

Here are my stats in Download Mode:

ODIN Mode

Current Binary: Samsung Official

Current Status: Official

Knox Kernel Lock: 0x0

Knox Warranty Void: 0x0

CSB-Config-LSB: 0x30

Write Protection: Enable

eMMC Burst Mode enabled
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] crawrj:
OK I finally got all the way back up and here is what I have found so far.

None of the Odin Images are working. Tried MDC, MDL and MF9. So we can't Odin back to anything, for now. I did a restore of data using TWRP 6.3.1. I got UID errors and boot loops. Wiped data and it came back. I did a restore of MJA which I had just made a clean backup of and it boot looped. Wiping data did nothing. I was able to restore MF9 System and Data but you have to include the kernel also. The last thing I tried was restoring MJA which has put me in a bootloop I can't get out of. So I am going to have to start over at restoring MF9 and getting back to MJA.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] skyyrocket:
Haha I see 4.3 is not playing very nice
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] maxpower7:
Alright, so I finally pulled this up on a computer for the first time in a very long time (I always use the app), and I see that the word "good" between colons makes a thumbs-up sign. I had no idea, and suddenly it makes sense that I'm seeing it everywhere. Obviously, the app is just leaving the "good" and the colons without populating the sign.

I was wondering about that.

Hopefully we'll get a working rooted version that will not 'knox' us out of restores and using custom recoveries and kernels.

Pretty crappy that sammy is 'sneaking' in the lock downs with out directly saying they are.

I'm pretty sure though that the great devs and contributors here will get it ironed out soon.

Tried to install TWRP via Goo manager broke root!

After successfully going back to stock rooted mf9, selecting Survival mode in SuperSU and updating to 4.3 everything was fine. Kept root etc. So,

I then wanted to install TWRP, so I went to the play store, downloaded GooManager, ran the install grab twrp, it downloaded, said, installing, then when I reboot, I have the tiny blue stock android recovery!!! reboot again and lost superuser and root!!!

So, now I am re-rooting via chainfire. That works. Tried the same thing again and received the same results.

Anyone install a recovery such as TWRP without Goo? after the 4.3 update?

I'm having the same problem except that I wasn't rooted at all when I got the update OTA. It broke the wifi and lists the software and baseband version as MF9 but the build number as MJA.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Semtronix:
I went back to stock, OTAed to MJA, Odined CWM, and restored CM 10.2. Everything is working fine. There is a message on the boot screen now (irregardless of normal, download, or recovery) in upper left corner. Is that normal for MJA or is it giving me a hard time about my setup?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mjs2011:
Hmmm.....This has me a bit worried. Did you ever root before taking the update? I worry because my status is "custom" and this sounds like something that was happening when trying to update to MDL. WIFI wouldn't work because I was on custom binary.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] crawrj:
Once you are on MJA there is no way to go completely back to MF9. Not yet anyway.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bes06d:
I was rooted on a custom rom but I used odin and the MF9 tar to go back to complete stock last night.
