Finally got the OTA to install. Had to do the following:

Connect device to PC as "installer."

Install Verizon Software Repair.

Repair device (this wipes EVERYTHING).

Restart the OTA process.

Successful.

Hopefully an exploit happens because there's absolutely no way to install this unless you're completely stock unrooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] razzie33:
I am in the same boat (except I am rooted) - I use the No-Wipe Factory Images to go to M1 update when it was failing and then used Root De La Vega to root the M1.

The only thing I touched since then was the feature.xml file (hate that shutter camera sound) and now the 4.3 update is failing - error code 402.

I will try replacing with the stock feature.xml and see if it works. If not I guess I will try the Verizon Repair and go that route.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zregnier:
I have the OTA zip file saved on my SD card and will try to Odin it later after work. If this works it would be helpful to others who don't want to wipe everything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xmguy:
You maybe on to something. I downloaded the Note 2 Hidden Settings app. I hate the camera sound too. Used it to add the Camera sound on/off option. I'm going to restore that to defaults and install that Feature file see what happens.

I just don't want to loose root access!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xmguy:
Where is the script file at, and how does one keep root since the Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper doesn't work on 4.3?

I would try Survival Mode in SuperSU. But I don't have the money to buy the pro version of the app. :(

So til the Root situation is resolved I'm staying on 4.2.2

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zregnier:
I finally got the OTA to work. I unrooted and uninstalled SuperSU and Voodoo, then downloaded the MI1 no wipe file and flashed it in Odin. Next I applied the update.zip I had on my SD card through stock recovery. Worked like a charm but root was lost. Not a big deal since I run stock ROM anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xmguy:
When someone gets a simpler way to update and keep root I'll go to 4.3

THANKS!!!

Bkwagner, thanks thanks THANKS!!! I figured out that feature.xml was killing me when I attempted the update through adb sideload, and I knew if I could just get the stock feature.xml I'd be set. I'm watching my phone properly update (with root) to 4.3 right now. Thanks again so much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] iiipm:
how do i apply the xml is it like a standard update or do i need to find and replace the file in the system
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
It's not an update zip, so you need to replace the file.

Go to post #17 and download the zip file. Unzip it and you'll have a feature.xml file. Copy it to your phone, then use a root file manager to replace the /system/csc/feature.xml after mounting /system read/write.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cannonball_CO:
The method above is probably easiest. I prefer using the command prompt so I copied it to my device then used 'abd shell', went superuser, and moved it to the appropriate place.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
That's easier IMHO, but lots of Android users aren't Unix users. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cannonball_CO:
Yeah, I sure do love the command prompt though. When I figured out how to do that on my phone it was like the greatest day of my life. Well, OK, not that great, but it was a good day :)

I tell my friends to log into their phones and they look at me like the proud Unix nerd that I am!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] iiipm:
this unit is back to full stock with no root , it will not let me overwrite the current file . Do I need to re root it to add/change the file and if I do wont that just change the said file again ?

thanks for your help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cannonball_CO:
You're going to have to re-root. You must remount /system read-write [mount -o rw,remount /system] and you must be root to do this. Not to mention that system is owned by root so to move it there even after the filesystem is writable requires you to be root.

Rooting won't change feature.xml. Mine changed because I screwed around with some sidebar settings using root - I added some apps in there that weren't allowed by default.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arvin2212:
Where did you download the update from? OTA? If you received the update from OTA, or downloaded the ROM from sammobile, you most probabyl have the new bootloader.

The MJ3 posted on RDLV thread has the bootloader removed, so the phone would still be running on the older bootloader.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ValenteL:
Install Shell Terminal Emulator from Play Store. Open it and type getprop. You have a great listing. Search [ro.bootloader]: and [ro.boot.bootloader]: and You have [N9005xxxxxxx], the xxxxx means Your bootloader that is working.

(In some cases a SU must be typed before getprop).

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Nurmi_CEO:
That's right.... I want LTE bad. The entire reason I switched to T-Mobile was for LTE. Now the issue is after the sim is activated, LTE disappears.

$50 Amazon gift card if you develop a fix for this. $25 if you give a solution that works!

Let's figure this out! I can't afford an S4 or htc one now....
[AT&T LG Optimus G] br0adband:
I don't mean to sound negative or pessimistic but, the LGOG using T-Mobile's HSPA+ service is pretty damned fast as it is... and yes I'd like it to work on my LGOG since it did work not once but twice with two different T-Mobile SIM cards for periods of time but, if you're in an area serviced by T-Mobile's current LTE rollout then you're also getting HSPA+ service too so...

"How fast is fast?" is the question I end up eventually asking people: how fast do you really need the connection to be for a smartphone? What are you folks doing with your smartphones that requires more than ~15-20Mbps? :D

Also...

Can anyone that is rooted/unlocked (bootloader) and has a recovery installed boot your device into fastboot mode and see if it shows a baseband listed at all? Mine - which is running the stock JB 4.1.2 presently and using the stock JB AT&T radio shows N/A which makes me think there's something going on in there or I busted something during my multiple flashing phase over the past week or so, I don't know. Here's what mine says presently:

Now I'm wondering about two aspects there: the MAKOZ10o reference which could be related to the older ICS bootloader since that was a V10o thing, maybe it was updated and now IDs itself as Z10o, I don't know for sure, and of course the fact that it doesn't show a baseband version at all. I don't particularly believe that's what's causing the LTE to crap out and die but, I can't say for certain.

But I'm interested in seeing if anyone else's device running the stock JB 4.1.2 (mine has been flashed with LGNPST directly, not as an OTA - the device could have been 4.0.4 > 4.1.2 by OTA from the previous owner, I have no idea), and of course I can't say for certain when the LTE just stopped working but it was within the first day of me owning the device and before I ever flashed anything or rooted it so I will say that rooting it didn't cause the LTE to stop working and that was the first step in the flashing I've done since I got it.

Still, it's odd that it works then just stops working and never comes back... :confused:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Nurmi_CEO:
For the most part, it's fast.... But it's line having a Porsche with a speed limiter.... Who wants that?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Nurmi_CEO:
Mine didn't have lte bone stock. I just rooted mine and booted into bootloader and I do have a line of letters and numbers with the baseband.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Nurmi_CEO:
Bounty is going to be void unless someone has a solution quick! I put it up on craigslist and supposedly someone is going to buy it. Guess I'll have to fork over extra $ for a One or S4 :(
[AT&T LG Optimus G] omgbossis21:
I'm on T-Mobile LTE has never worked for me (been on it about a week). I get week 4g in town and most the time it wont even load ANYTHING! 2G is garbage...... My fastboot shows baseband version as n/a also. Unlocking the bootloader via freegee simply flashes the nexus aboot image which likely hasn't been modified. Does Tmobile LTE work on the nexus/nexus conversion? I know free also flashes a modified boot image but it simply removes the wallpaper.bin file from the phones bin directory to allow removal of any apps (its checks for videos,apk etc etc). I haven't tried flash the T-Mobile modem in the modem thread (.38 or something?) but I am assuming it also wont allow for LTE? Do these phones share modems with nexus or are they just cross compatible? Does the phone run LTE stock? I'm not familiar with at&t and do not know if they have a LTE band. Is it possible the hardware has just been removed on this model for LTE and those that get it do so without the antenna? I know there is another phone where that is the case but I cant remember which one of the top of my head.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Guys really need to quit buying e970s and thinking lte on tmo will work.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] br0adband:
As I just noted in another post, the LGOG is fully capable of LTE service on the T-Mobile frequencies - it's a damned Nexus 4 in a different package, with the same hardware radio and I/we can even run the T-Mobile radio firmware as well. That's not the issue.

The issue is that for many of us it DOES work at first but then the LTE stops working and I/we would most certainly like to figure out why it's happening.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Probably tmo trying to force you to buy a phone from them.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] charleswesde:
Doubtful considering that's one reason they refarmed their network in the first place, so potential customers could bring their unlocked ATT devices to the T-Mobile network and have great service, LTE included. The "uncarrier" has great pride in that fact and have gone through great lengths to advertise it. The issue the OP is having appears to be LGOG specific as I hadn't heard of or seen any other devices with said issue, thus the bounty.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] autosurgeon:
The reason you guys are losing LTE is T-Mobile is slowly switching to a diff band. And it is one this phone doesn't handle. As they convert towers to the new frequency phones that do not handle all the US LTE bands get left behind.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] br0adband:
See:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47076068&postcount=67

Since this double-posting and chasing people around threads gets tiring. ;)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] charleswesde:
I hadn't seen any information to back this up, feel free to direct me to the info if you'd like. I find it hard to believe as T-Mobile just refarmed the network to support the same LTE bands as att and are still actively advertising the fact you can bring your unlocked device to their network without issue and with full support. In addition individuals are reporting LTE service that works fine initially then ceases generally after reboot or within a few days. The odds of these bands being changed just as users switch in multiple locations to multiple users are slim to none.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] autosurgeon:
I was told this by technical support when helping a friend that has an e970. Whether it is accurate info I guess is now in question. Sorry if it is not.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] br0adband:
No worries in the long run, we just like to make sure people do get accurate info. T-Mobile uses band 4 for LTE purposes, and that'll fall within the 850 and 1900 MHz bands they're refarming aka repurposing from primarily 2G/EDGE network usage towards more HSPA+ access which would also get more LTE support there as well.

And yeah, it's irritating as hell knowing it did work and now it doesn't, very frustrating. It's the only thing I haven't been able to get addressed with this LGOG so far and it flat out pisses me off. ;)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Nurmi_CEO:
Bounty is OFF! I sold the LGOG and picked up an ATT S4 for $185 off CL! Only slight damage to volume button but other than that clean, not stolen and LTE works! Until I bricked it by flashing the wrong rom but it's in the mail shipping back to me repaired !!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Sub-Negro:
I had it running on Simple and I would mainly get terrible edge a I guess HSPA since it would say 4G sometimes. Didn't get LTE until I went over to AT&T.
[HTC Droid DNA] danjull:
Alright, so I ported tripndroid to the DNA. Used cm's device tree, m7 kernel, and external/clang, and the muppets' vendor tree. Builds with no errors, flashes fine, runs great, but I got no root access. Superuser is installed, shows up under settings. Tried flashing busybox su package, koush's supersu 1.51 binary, and superuser. Nothing. Any ideas?
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
Isn't the latest supersu like 1.65? That's what I flashed on omnirom on my nexus 7 and I believe that's also the only one people were having success with.
[HTC Droid DNA] danjull:
Yeah, you're right. I just searched for the update and that's the first that came up. I'll try it out.
[HTC Droid DNA] danjull:
Nope. Still no root. Tried flashing supersu and superuser.
[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
I just took a look at their android_device_htc_m7. Wow, they are really not making any attempt to keep their changes in line with what CM is doing. I wouldn't be surprised if you get more surprises down the road...

In the 4.3 builds, superuser support requires that a daemon be running as root. This service is configured in init.superuser.rc which must get included by one of the etc/init*.rc scripts in the ramdisk.

The CM builds do this in vendor/cm which conveniently makes it apply to all devices. Tripndroid seems instead to have added the include directly to ramdisk/init.rc in their device tree. I suspect making the coresponding change to the init.rc on the DLX tree will fix the problem.
[HTC Droid DNA] danjull:
Yup. You hit the nail right on the head. I finally found it. Thanks for looking into it!

If anyone wants to try it out I uploaded it here. If there's enough interest I might keep up with it.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] cliffai:
Thought I'd throw this one in incase I'd missed something.

There appears to be some basic failings in the ability to cut and paste phone numbers between various applications on the WM phone.

Take the example that I receive a SMS text message from someone not in my contacts database.

I know who the person is and I want to create a new contact entry using the received phone number.

There appears to be no way of cutting or copying the phone number from the messaging section and pasteing it into a new Contact.

Or it may be that I already have an entry for the person I just don't have their mobile number number in the contact record (or what ever new number is received).

Have I missed a trick here - or indeed is this a limitation that exists. If there is a work around I'd love to know. i just have such an appauling memory for numbers that I couldn't even remember between flicking between applications - let alone the scope for error.

Thanks

Re: Annoyance with WM5 behaviour related to number cut and p

Open the message (instead of just reading it from the list or notification window). You'll note that the From: field is already selected.

Press the Menu softkey, then Save to Contacts.

Simple as that :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] cliffai:
OK so that allows you to create a new contact. Once you have them in contacts you can do a copy of the number and paste it into an original record. Then delete the new contact just created. Ideally I'd like to miss out the intermediate step of creating another new contact - for those where I know I already have a contact entry, but just not with that particular number.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] aage:
I agree with you.

There should be an extra choice after save to contact.

Like new contact/ add to contact.

The same with email. If i want to add an emailadres it makes a new contact.

An other problem i find is that copy/ paste is not always available when i select a text.

When I rename a file in file explorer I can't select the word and copy/paste by "tap and hold".

Now i use GSPocket Magic to copy/ paste
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] cliffai:
You would have thought that on the, what is it, 3rd iteration of WM they could have sorted this out.

It is behaviour like this that can make all the diference between something that is really user friendly and something which is torturous.

Hopefully there are some influential people who read this that can feed it back to the powers that be.
