What will the procedure be to get the official KitKat upate? I am currently running the 4.4.2 beta and haven't had any problems with it. Will we need to use Odin to install MK2 then run the update?

Official KIT KAT UPDATE will hit tomorrow.

The second link is from AT&T support and I called, and while the tech support rep could not pull up information in her system, she confirmed that based on the article and the KB # in the article this is legit. She said "should/probably" hit after midnight but could not give a specific time, and that might get caught with that only once every 24 hour update check, if you check and it its not yet ready. Can always try like last time and forward the date a few days/a month on your phone and force it to check, if you check and not yet available, and then pushes out later on in the day.[/QUOTE]

For the official OTA, you'll likely need to go back to stock.

Getting the official update

I think the procedure should be:

Get a copy of stock ATT rom.

Flash it

Then do an OTA update which happens eventually.

I am stuck at the getting back to stock ATT.

Oops, accidentally thanked. Oh well, freebie!

Anyways, you are NOT gonna be able to upgrade from the leak to nb1. You MUST odin back to mk2 and not root to take the update, whether ota or sideload.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] John The Rhino:
Well said. Imagine buying a new computer with all the bloat ware like Norton Antivirus & Microsoft everything & then only having guest privileges & not being allowed to download anything or change anything about the computer? People would not stand for it and would purchase their computers from a different brand. Though that is essentially what we are going through as our devices really are little computers we can make calls from.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rbedell:
Anybody figure out if they patched the downgrade? I know it just came out but someone knows where to look... I read that they had a theory and it wound up working...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rebel1699:
They patched the downgrade on the official 4.4.2. Since they raised the qfuse count, you can not go backward from official nb1 if you install it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rbedell:
Good to know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Scripps:
I was able to upgrade to 4.4.2 Official. All is running well.

I used Odin to install MK2 then went to Software Update. It asked me to upgrade and all went well.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ALD3:
I tried to update 5 times yesterday, by restoring each time. Never would complete kit kat install. Finally flashed 4.3 with Odin and update went smoothly. Must of had some corrupt files, as I had uprooted and uninstalled safe strap and fixed the tethering files back in device/system/app
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Dhs92:
Can you update with root enabled and survival mode on or no?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dave5777:
I did but I lost root but it left my system as Un official. I used the NB1 Unbrick method to have a fresh install.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Dhs92:

Will SGH-i337 S4 running leaked 4.4.2 (I337UCUFMLD) get official OTA kitkat update?

I soft bricked my phone trying to install a custom recovery (something about Loki) and I couldn't get it to boot. So I installed the one-click odin install for the leaked build from January, (I337UCUFMLD).

Will i get the official OTA update from AT&T? Kies says my "Firmware is up to date" but it is not. Any help would be appreciated.

This is my first time posting here, and I did google but found no answer - probably because the update just dropped.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] johnsaldivar:
You will not get the update, you need to use odin and install the firmware from 4.3, i was in the same situation, I downgraded last night and then went to update and now i am up to the new release. Had to wipe everything though.

GT-

Dear all
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sdf66:
GT-i9500 or i337

Dear all

I have a galaxy s4 that model number is "GT-I9500", but for software update by OTA it check the at&t server and the CSC is I337ATTAMDL and MODEM is I337UCUAMDL, but PDA is I9500ZSUAMDF (Hong Kong ROM). So I think it is an unlocked at&t GS4.

How can I update it by flash? (Which ROM should I flash? GT-I9500 or I337?)

If it is an unlocked one and I flash GT-I9500 ROM, what will be happened? it will locked again?

What will be happened if I flash wrong ROM?

I attached the screenshot of my About device.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] beast3300:
No, you can't use anything from here. Go to the 9500 part of the S4 forum. The 9500 uses a Samsung chip set. The 9505 and 337 use a Qualcomm Snapdragon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sdf66:
but the modem version is I337UCUAMDL and the CSC is I337ATTAMDL.

antutu shows that the number of CPU is 4 cores and 1.9GHz.

so i think my device is unlocked version of AT&T, but Baseband Version is I9500ZSUAMDF and Model Number is GT-I9500!

How is this possible? How Can I update my device?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] beast3300:
I have no idea what happened. What does the sticker under the battery say the phone is?

Your modem in the screen shot is I9500ZSUAMDF. That is not the MDL modem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] drock212:
If you bought the phone from a third party they could have edited the build prop to show that model of SGS4. Could also be some weird flash someone did where they only flashed os did not flash modem or bootloader.

Were you able to extract system.img by chance? I keep trying with ext4_unpacker (Windows) and it just hangs for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] shoman94:
If you downloaded the second zip (non oneclick) them there is no need to extract.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] timmytim:
I did and they are in raw img form still. I downloaded it last night. Did it change since then?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dave5777:
This is not the Kitkat update this is a leak there is no telling if you flash this that you will be able to receive the OTA. The same thing happened with the S4 active the only unbrick method is DG's oneclick but it is MF1 a prerelease version that the OTA won't work on. So just be prepared to be going to a Best buy and maybe the Samsung Rep will flash the OTA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] shoman94:
Oh okay... I thought you were talking about extracting system from the One Clock.

From there I use dsixda's kitchen. But there are other methods as well. Searching should give you plenty of results.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] muniz_ri:
I took the plunge and flashed the leak using the following Odin tar I put together from

all

the contents, including bootloader, in the second file in the OP:

https://mega.co.nz/#!9pF0DZDA!nkZYmEN6aE2K_ZSMRmerksdqx9S8kwlQY4UnG3BDQ_c

MD5: D5C7470C240A9A74A6365C5575D78597

So far everything seems to be working just as well as stock MK2 and the leak is definitely stable enough to be a daily driver. No major performance improvements(maybe just slightly) and a few minor UI changes, e.g camera widget in lockscreen.

I had the same concern but now that we have the full MK2 tar files we can create a work-around to sideload the next OTA following the same methodology that gtj0 used to get from the MJ6 leak to MJ9(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2526964). I can create the files once the next ota is released unless someone beats me to it.

Many Thanks to the OP for sharing this leak!

EDIT 1/27/2014: It has been confirmed that the leak's aboot has the same qfuse counter(4) as MK2. This means that you are able to flash back to MK2 after flashing MLD.

Sporadic device reboot is observed when using video codec related function. This is due to an issue related to video codec.

Dumb question, but does anyone know how the known issue with the video codec can manifest itself? For example can it happen while recording video with the camera or watching youtube?

Just curious.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jeboo:
From a quick look at aboot, it looks like they haven't changed the qfuse value from MK2. This theoretically means it may be possible to revert back to MK2 even if you flashed the new bootloaders. No guarantees, time will tell..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] scott14719:
Very nice. This means that people that flash this can always ODIN back to stock MK2 and take the official OTA when it is released. Of course, if this leak is similar or very close to the final release (official) than there really wouldn't be a need to do so.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] shoman94:
Correct me if I'm wrong DG but this is 4.4 not 4.4.2? Build.prop shows "ro.com.google.gmsversion=4.4_r1" whereas the intl leak is "ro.com.google.gmsversion=4.4.2_r1" and there is also a large difference in the changelog.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] toxicpaulution:
At this time safestrap is useless, as there's no roms built for 4.4(.2) so just because you can boot safestrao you wouldn't have anything to change it too. And no Google Edition wouldn't work because it's a different kernel. (I know you didn't say that but I'm just clearing it up for others lol :p

Found one bug on this ROM. If you use the S View cover on the S4, it has a rectangular 'window', while the Note 3 has a square 'window'. With this ROM, the S View cover mode acts as if the device is a Note 3 so when you close the S View cover, the information displayed is 'cut' since the 'window' is too small. Wouldn't surprise me if Samsung didn't start with the Note 3 as a base for the phone and then removed/added features as needed.

Here's what I mean:

Note 3 S View

Please, do not ask for instructions. Seriously, if you do not know how to do this, then you probably shouldn't be trying.

You can seriously mess up your phone. Please read anything and everywhere on how to flash a rom. Before you attempt something like this, read how to back up your device.

As with any flashing, it is done at your own risk and believe me, there is risk involved.
