4.3 Update Rolling Out To GE S4 - Galaxy S 4 General

And it started.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...e-play-edition-samsung-galaxy-s4-and-htc-one/

Probably a dumb question, but anybody know a way to force the update? I'd really like to get my phone to 100% stock, official 4.3 firmware.

I wonder how long it takes until there is a pre-rooted flashable ROM available. So glad they are updating this phone quickly.

I used the trick of clearing Google Application Framework. Worked like a charm! I'm pulling the OTA file now before I update.

Try to pull the zip file if you can. I think you can flash it with the stock recovery.

So I got the update OTA on my T-Mobile GS4 running the rom from this thread.
Anyone know what will happen if I update? I don't know if I'll lose root, recovery, etc.

I'm a noob when it comes to using command line. I checked the /cache folder after logging into to SU. But not sure where to go from there.
list shows:
lost+found
recovery
and there doesn't appear to be anything in the recovery folder, and not this is in lost+found:
#117121
?! No idea.

I am on a Google Edition I9505G, I reverted back to stock recovery and was able to flash this just fine. Your mileage may vary if you do not have a GT-I9505G. It may turn your device into a lawnmower...I just dunno.

I'll inspect when I get home. The ATT and I9505 are pretty much the same. I've been running I9505 GE ROM without issue for a bit while. If its just a kernel and system update then it should be fine. We will see shortly.

Can you still get the OTA if you are rooted? I've cleared Google Service Framework but I'm still not getting it.

Haven't noticed it mentioned on any websites yet, but a notable change is with cover view, we reverted from thin font time to Google favored fat hours & skinny minutes. Yuck.

hmm don't have the balls to put this on my i9505 someone go first

as far as mods go, this is from the stock firmware so any mods that are being made for the new nexus 7 should work fine (for example the advanced power menu that i added). that goes for kernels too, those are device specific, not rom specific

Xposed works on 4.3. You have to install 2.1.4 then flash a zip in recovery.
I'm not sure if you just missed them or what, but some of the Google apps you said you had removed are still in the zip. Currents, Earth, Ears, Games, and then I stopped looking. It's not a big deal, I'm removing them from the downloaded zip, but I wanted to let you know!
And in advance, thanks for the ROM.

well this is based on the released firmware, if there is a patch out there for that, i will see if i can get it included, otherwise i will wait for the next firmware update which will probably have it in there.
no my next release would be a couple of mods im working on, which in reality can be zip files to flash so you wont need to reinstall or reflash the whole thing, but will also be added to the rom as well for anyone who has not tried this one yet

SGH-I337M (TELUS) Update 5.0.1 is out

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/45755/I337MVLUGOC4_I337MOYAGOC4_TLS/
Before I update my phone, I would like to know if I will be able to use odin to go back to 4.4.2 just in case... thanks
It's not just Telus. Looks like everyone except Rogers has updates available on sammobile.
Any fast download options that are free? Faster than 50 kb/s.
A new version of 4.4.2 just got released too after the 5.0.1 update for all carriers ...
maybe 5.0.1 has bugs ...
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-I337M/
Anyone install it ota yet? Is it still multicsc like usual? Does the *#272*IMEI# trick still work?
Lollipop 5.01 update
Will the CF-Auto Root for Canadian models work for this one?
Was able to install via ODIN, upgraded to 5.01, and was able to downgrade back to 4.4.2 via ODIN as well. CF-Auto-root works fine for 5.0.1. It has multi-csc as well.
I was on Goldeneye 51 and decided to Odin the Bell OC4 release in order to update the modem and provide a solid firmware base for Lollipop. I did not find that my version of CF root worked but did re-root by using Odin to flash Philz recovery and then flashing a zip for SuperuserSU 2.4.6 once the custom recovery was in place.
Now I shall wait for the next version of Goldeneye and install after using the vanilla version of the firmware while waiting.
Can you guys please upload to a better file server like Mega? I just spent 7 hours getting 80% from Rapidgator and then it stalled and died.
Anyone knows if the OTA update erase anything on the phone or it just kinda do a ''dirty flash''. I imagine it wouldn't do anything to the sd card but will the data on the device storage be affected?
Galaxy S4 completly stock on Koodo!
Thanks!

it doesn't matter if the rom actually works, we just need to know if the aroma installer comes up
Thank you this is great news. I wonder though if this is going to work with the international patch in some way? That is all that has stopped me from figuring it out is the flashfire aroma issue.

I downloaded one from T-mobile with carrier unlock the rom maker said it would work on VZW too. so I am going to install FF v.19 and give it a try.
here is @tp2215 's rom link that i am downloading from. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723915
Edit 1: installing now time: 13:54 est time 13:58 est ff loaded all the white linex then went to a black screen so restarting the phone from pulling battery and restarting the phone now.
Edit 2: reloaded phone normally just fine. No new rom no restore ether. it just loaded with what ever my wife already had on the phone
What?!?!? No way. I thought that it couldn't work because the rom didnt let it access the framebuffer. I'm stoked.

The closest we come is having a barebones rom with flashable zips for options.
Try this ROM with the international rom patch.

Despite all the macabre artwork, after you get past the boot animation what is impressive is how well it's put together. Seriously. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think so.

Stagefright fix - Lollipop AT&T

I made a fix for AT&T Galaxy S4 Stagefright vulnerability.
Attached the zip file for you to flash.
Below pictures of the device before and after applying the patch.
Please rate 5 stars and thank, it doesn't cost you anything.
Note: This fix is for AT&T Lollipop ROMs on or after OC3 version.
KitKat users: Please, don't even try to flash this fix!
Giving it a shot now.
---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ----------
Installed on OC3 rooted via flashfire and it worked great. Thanks!
Hidden - mistaken info that I posted
Applied the update from I337UCUFNJ4 [4.4.4].
It wiped and reset my phone.
Hidden - incorrect info that I posted
I took a picture of my screen with another phone while the zip was running
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3ePa0Zibh6URUNpeGlMdFVnV0E/view?usp=sharing
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3ePa0Zibh6URXZqZl9FeXpVNjA/view?usp=sharing
Hidden - incorrect info that I posted
I did make note before I flashed that I had two different zips on my sd card. One was this stagefright fix and another was 2400258.zip which was leftover from some previous flashing. I was consious not to pick that file and I'm reasonably sure I didn't (unless maybe I got confused by the color of highlighting). After phone became reset I checked my system and it was still 4.4.4 and still rooted. (that other zip if I had flashed it should have made me 4.4.2 I think).
At any rate, no big deal for me, I'll go ahead and upgrade to Lollipop latest version (including Stagefright fix) using the Flashfire method.
I guess I'm 99% certain the op's zip caused my reset but there's always the case I may be mistaken. If others reporto they have successfully flashed from the same place I started, the likelihood I was mistaken probably goes up.
@electricpete1
If you pay close attention to the pictures you posted, you will see that what you flashed was a Multi CSC update, the file I uploaded doesn't even deal with CSC.
Open my file and you will see that only stagefright libraries are included, not a single CSC file there.
Besides, the fix is intended for Lollipop and as far as I know I337UCUFNJ4 [4.4.4] is KitKat.
KitKat users: Please, don't even try to flash this fix!
@churapa Thanks, I guess I must have flashed the wrong file.
Sorry for posting bad info on your thread. I edited my posts above to "hide" the info to clean up the thread.
Thanks for your contributions to our community.
I just finished flashing to latest Lollipop with stagefright protection (I337USUGOC4), so it worked out fine for me.
Works great, thanks

Just today I installed Fontfix, (even though the app, states it does not work on S7).
I had a hard time installing it at first, then i discovered two major steps. 1) you have to have "install from unknown sources" checked, which, is weird since its coming from the play store. and 2) you have to go into the app settings and find where it says install method and change it to root.
That's all I did, and now have "Gloria Hallelujah" throughout my whole system. If you have any questions or problems don't hesitate to ask. I get on just about every day or so, hoping to see any kind of mods or development for this S7, which, is scarce.
