Right, this was what I was wondering now that someone posted the no wipe MJ7 image. I'm in no huge rush for 4.3... no one has mentioned anything that was added that sounds very important to me yet, and my phone is rock solid stable and working great as is... maybe wait for kitkat...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] portscan:
Are you trying straight OTA? If that's not working download the update zip and flash from recovery. Mine wouldn't OTA either and I did all the steps correctly 5 times. The 6th time I did it I flashed from recovery and it worked like a charm.

Here is the update zip if you need it. Let me know if dropbox axes my link for bandwith reasons..

I just updated to VRUDMI1 two days ago . It has no mods and I saved root using Voodoo . That said , Can't I just enable survival mode in SuperSU and take the ota ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] z-man79:
I followed all the instructions and went to about phone and Software update and received the following message:

Unfortunately, Settings has stopped

I want to say I deleted the file that would cause the phone to automatically update. What can I do to get the software update function back or to manually update my phone?

thank you!

Hey guys

I flashed my i9505 with 4.3 for my region today which I got from samsung updates.

I now have no wifi after flash, does anyone know how I can get it back?

Much appreciated

Is it possible to follow this method with a Samsung Kies update vs. OTA?

My OTA does not work....getting Service Unavailable repeatedly.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DarkMenace:
What does that do? There are no instructions or information about what it does or if it restores root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kyle4269:
I had the same exact problem with my phone. Go to Verizon and tell them you want a new sim card. After the new sim is activated, it will work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swears11:
Thanks got a new SIM card (had to pay $30 for stupid thing), and voila, it started downloading the update.

Only problem is now I get an error during the install (Code 402). Anyone have this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kyle4269:
They should have given you that card for free. When they looked up my account it said that my phone wasn't a recognized Verizon device. "AKA a bad sim card" the guy said.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Well nevermind now, we have the odin tars, but it contained working bootloaders.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ffd173:
Short answer, no. All you have to do is follow the instructions in the OP. You have to enable survival mode in supersu, but you also have to download the file in the instructions and copy it to the /system/bin folder, thus overwriting the one already there. I was at the same position you say you are in now, on MI1 and stock rooted using Voodoo to save root. Just follow the OP instructions and run the update normally OTA.

That's it!! Good luck!:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] huedawg:
Thanks . I didn't have to download the file and move it to system/bin . I just checked Survival mode in SuperSu and took the ota . I'm good to go .

That's the same files as you'll get if you flash the factory no-wipe ROM.

Please be careful about flashing things related to CM - they ONLY work if your phone is running MDK.

MMS Media issue with VRUEMJ7

Guys i'm having some problems with MMS media ONLY, can't send pictures.

Anyone else???

Also some disconnecting with WIFI, saying your network not "fast" enough.

Everything else working good.

Can i re-install VRUEMj7 with Odin, i may fix my problems?

I know there's a thread here [LINK][ODIN][TAR][VZW] SCH-I545 VRUAMJ7 No-Wipe Factory Image

But no one can't confirm that you not going to loose root

Thanks

Can't recall where it was posted but I seen the answer as NO, on rooted 4.3, safestrap is no longer functional at this time until updated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mickrg123:
Any idea on time frame for when we can root with Mj7 if we have lost root while taking MJ7 update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] portscan:
Use the factory recovery. You have that.

Here is a YouTube video of how to put your phone in stock recover and download mode. For the flashing we're talking about here, you will want to worry about the stock recovery part of his video. Make sure the file I put in the other post is on your ext SD card before you enter the recovery menu.

You can install the SS APK, but you will get the blocked message when trying to install the recovery from within the SS app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Everything here worked for me I'm on 4.3 and I'm still rooted, so thank you very much!

Couple questions though...

I had a message come up saying something to the effect that my phone has recognized a sercurity threat ( it being rooted I'd assume) and to go to a Samsung site to update my security. Of course I hit no thanks!

Wish I copied the exact message. And I've checked my phone and it says it's all Samsung official.. The Knox kernel and warranty are both showing 0x0. And I think it says custom at the bottom ( of Odin download screen) and I'm still getting the custom unlocked padlock screen at boot. And in about phone it says custom there as well. So.. What's up with that? Just confused I think it's a good thing is showing 0x0 as far as all the Knox things go right? And also I've read the custom padlock boot screen for some people has gone away.

Again I followed the directions in the OP I also did a factory reset and wiped everything after I Odin Ml1 from ME7.

Again thanks to everyone on here who helps out. Just want someone to set me straight
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] portscan:
Not tripping the Knox counter is all that matters. We have a stock MJ7 tar file available now. In the event you need to return for warranty, just flash the stock tar file back to a clean MJ7 and all will be golden. I had the security pop up when I tried to go into settins.db using SQL editor. Someone else got it trying to install the SafeStrap recovery from within the SafeStrap app. Keep in mind if you flash back to stock MJ7 you will lose root and we currently do not have a root method for MJ7. We only have a way to keep root going from MI1 to MJ7. With that being said, if you have to return it for warranty, just Odin back to stock MJ7 with the tar and hope to God your replacement phone comes with MI1 lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] KitchMD:
Quick question and I'm sure it's been answered. I've searched but cannon find anything about it.

From ME7, can I no-wipe to MI1, root MI1, use the prepare-param.zip file, and take the OTA to keep root...all without wiping factory data and resetting at any point? Or should I wipe data when I'm installing MI1 from ME7? I would really like to keep all my setups and not reinstall everything.

Thanks all for the great job. I follow frequently but don't post much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] portscan:
You can, yes. No need to wipe data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] travisjshepherd:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] portscan:
Flash the update zip within recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] travisjshepherd:
custom or stock? do you have a link?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] portscan:
Stock. Make sure the file is on your ext SD card and that you have followed all the previous steps up to and including the param.sh file, then flash this update in stock recovery.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/cxq635gu7lfl6e6/update_GS4_T0_4.3_Official_OTA_Zip.zip

Let me know if Dropbox axes my link for bandwith reasons. It's also somewhere on XDA. I will try to find it in the event they axe my link before you get it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] travisjshepherd:
Downloading now, param.sh file sitting in the system/bin/ folder waiting for 4.3. I have Survival mode on, I just flash this & everything should be ok?

---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 PM ----------

do I need to rename it to update.zip?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] portscan:
You should upgrade to 4.3 and retain root once you flash the zip you're downloading currently. If you followed all the steps and set the permissions on the param.sh file and survival in SuperSU. Fingers are crossed!

Here is the link to the file on here in the event my link gets hosed..

Just worry about the recovery part. He shows how to do recovery and download mode. You want recovery for what we're doing.

Or download terminal emulator, type su then enter, then type reboot recovery and press enter.

I read somewhere we can downgrade by flashing to odin an international version to 4.2 because they don't have their bootloaders locked?

Sent from my Galaxy S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
I read somewhere that if you put your phone in the freezer for an hour, it'll be automatically unlocked. :)

No, you can't downgrade. It WILL brick your phone.

If you could let whomever said that the i545 could be downgraded that they're incorrect and irresponsible, it would be nice. Too many people are bricking their phones due to BS like that.

*UPDATE?*

I know things move and change... My GF accidentally clicked to install the OTA when it was offered, and I am now on MJ7. Is it still true that I am scr3wed completely and stuck in Stock Land?

Until a root it found, I am afraid so.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mickrg123:
Yep, join crowd as we wait for the devs, to figure out root! #Stockland
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ellisz:
Any downside to doing this method? I am on rooted ME7 and would like to update and keep root so this method seems easy enough. I just have root to run xposed mods and tether(unlimited data)

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
There's no major downside at the moment, but since you're on ME7 you can still run Safestrap. Upgrading will not allow that any longer (at least right now). Every upgrade tightens down the lock further, making it less and less likely you'll ever be able to unlock. There's nothing really stellar in MJ7 that makes it worth the upgrade.

I'd expect Safestrap-compatible 4.3 ROMs to be out in the near term. Why upgrade and close the door?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ellisz:
Good point. I have been consider the ss router but have not done it yet. Exposed mods are decent but cause errors from time to time. Limitations on space for apps was stopping me from going to the ss. Probably not a big deal though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mickrg123:
The one problem I found beside no root is 1 click tether does not work on my phone now after MJ7 upgrade. I use it a lot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] anthony92170:
Actually it's worth the update faster smoother and battery is even better

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jsyme222:
This is exactly what I had to do. Hard reset and then run the odin Ml1 file.

---------- Post added at 08:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ----------

I'm still working on getting the TrevE-mod to successfully tether as it worked well in both ME7 and MI1. However, since this method modifies and goes through the native tether system I am unsure whether or not it is possible to use on 4.3....I think they made changes to the wifi tether capabilities of the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] my59:
Worked great, thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wack0jacko:
im wondering this as well. When i go to do the software update, the only option is "Install Deferred SW". This is the MI1 update i believe and ive already done all the steps through checking survival mode in supersu. do i apply the mj7 update zip in stock recovery? Anyone know what the next move is?

Edit: tried to flash the mj7 update in Stock recovery and it didn't take. Should I try to "Install Deferred SW"? Or Odin the update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
You need to be running MI1 to update to MJ7, so go ahead and upgrade.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wack0jacko:
Im already on MI1. Followed all the instructions in the op until the last step. I had been deferring the MI1 ota for a few days. Should I do it anyways? Will it realize the system is already on MI1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kzoak82:
Everything worked but im getting random freezing. If i do a factory reset will i lose root? The problems I'm having are usually resolved with wiping cache and dalvik, but without a custom recovery and the fact that I'm a novice, I'm lost. Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jsyme222:
I don't think it will hurt anything to try the differed update. Either way you will be flashing it in odin so I would try the differed update, then follow the op directions, and You should be fine.

whenever my O2 mini gets around %30 of battery life it just goes off...

when i plug it to the power it goes back on (like a reset) by itself.

Well... AFAIK, this is because OS redirects all power to RAM in order to preserve the info from being lost if there is no more power...

I know there is a backup Bat.. but it gives power for about 30 min( according to i-mate if I remember right )

The best thing to do is try to keep your battery above 50%

Well haven't been here in a while, damn, well, here it goes, it's untested but worst that will come from this mod, is SystemUI has stopped, but we both know the solution, Reflash :highfive: woooo!

So this puts carrier name in your status bar, or so i think it does, it may add an option to settings or maybe just the 'custom carrier' option will work for it! However it is still a work in progress! So anyone who wants to test can go right ahead ;) It's a feature likein Mokee OS 4.3.1! :highfive:

CM10 only for now thou i think, just adb push, or copy to system/app and set perms to 644, or just overwrite and then phone should auto reboot, if it freezes, just batt pull! can put it into the Rom Zip and reflash or create your own flashable zip i dont care :D Just put it there, upload a screenshot, report bugs, give feedback, hit thanks, buy me a hooker, whatever!
