Thanks. Think that's why the OP posted this. Will be looking forward to flashing your odex version.
Will you also post a link to the MF1 AIO file in your thread too so that we can get the radio/etc updated too?

Right.. but beans was talking about a full ROM not just firmware. this way you can flash a stock version with the features that were released with the MF1, not just the radio update that any rom can use.
i am not seeing any bar signal improvement from D3 modem but i will see how it fairs in more than just my office.

Finally Verizon fixing their mistake, thank you Beans for having to do this (again!)
can finally have an update that doesn't feel like a leak...

It's not that it borks it, there have been changes with everything on the new firmware that the prior kernels are incompatible, we just need kernel source. But if your on touchwiz you can flash ktoonsez kernel meanwhile for a fix.

Touchwiz 4.3 (VRUCML1/NC1) update discussion thread

DO YOU WANT 4.3 WITHOUT LOCKING YOUR BOOTLOADER OR KNOX? DO I HAVE A LITTLE TREAT FOR YOU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2591895
We now have a safestrap! Mind you its an ALPHA and should be used with caution there are currently NO Roms that support it but it does have TWRP. So backups are possible. Read up and download here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2605648
Now that the 4.3 update is out the old thread isn't very accurate.
So I'm making this so we can talk about it!
Rules:
-No spamming
-Be nice
-HAVE FUN
DISCLAMER FOR TAKING THIS UPDATE: your bootloader will become perminantly locked after updating. So if you are fine with no more Roms or Kernels then update away. any rooting applications other then the one listed below will cause hard brick. any attempts to downgrade to MF! HARD BRICK
Some general info on the update rooting ROMs and such

Emoji Input
View Changes I don't like:
On/Off Button uses words "on and off" instead of the sign
Emojis have changed and they look worse than 4.1 (IMO)
Cannot swipe left (or right) to access lock screen camera (3rd app must do that)
No Swipe to Unlock with passcode on

Not sure many actually "installed" the OTA, think most are waiting for beans and them to crack it open.

Aren't those guys all on the s4?

Yeah. Meant to change title. Oh well.

You may want to retitle this thread as "TW 4.3" since, you know, 4.3 existed on AOSP for some months.

Which means VZW probably has some trickery in this to permalock the bootloader, so be careful.

Can anybody please check what languages does 4.3 have and if they're any different from 4.1.2? As we won't have root as of now, I'm afraid to lose support of one specific language enabled by Language Enabler. Thanks in advance!

Well this is great news. Maybe i'll run it over the holidays for the Camera. Can't wait to see what our great Devs can do with this!

great, permalocked bootloader . The Sprint and T-mobile versions were cracked though...

Someone said delete the new boot loader in the update zip, that's what they had to with the old Motorola.

Sprint and TMobile are never locked. Just Verizon and ATT. This is basically same as S4 and it has never been unlocked. They are blowing Q-Fuses like old Moto.

I wonder who else is going to try and install it

So seeing that Beans hardbricked his S3, is the only way to unroot back to stock, re-lock the bootloader, and then get the update?

Pretty much. I tried to update and it failed. I'm rooted on stock TW and unlocked. Tried a few things and I can't even get back to a stock unrooted rom
I guess I'll wait for a rooted rom.

[Q] Downgrade from 4.3

I just updated my samsung galaxy s3 to jellybean 4.3 and really don't like the update. I would like to revert back to the official stock firmware that came before this 4.3 update. Can anyone tell me where I can download the firmware? Unfortunately all the links I found were not working.

From what I understand, the new bootloader included in the update makes reversion impossible.

As of today, attempting to revert will brick you.
As of tomorrow, who knows?

is KNOX in the 4.3 rom?
if so, it is impossible to revert, at least so far.
some ppl tried it with Samsung engineers but they said the main board need to be replaced for revert.

Well, looks like I jumped the gun yesterday before I did my homework. I tried to revert back to 4.1.2 with ODIN...and now I have a brick. The phone will turn on, but with the stupid message about not having authorized Verizon software on the device. I'm very hopeful that someone will figure out a fix to this soon. Thanks in advance to anyone who comes up with an answer!

That means you are trying to flash a custom rom with a locked bootloader. Are you flashing a rooted 4.1.2? You did not take the update though, right? If not, unlock your bootloader and all will be well.

Thanks ShapesBlue. I'd definitely recommend NOT taking the OTA for 4.3 for a while. I'm about to try to flash an official 4.3 update file, to see if that will work, but I'm not hopeful it will do anything for me.

Let's just say I had a lapse in judgement. I tried to flash a stock 4.1.2 image after taking the OTA update to 4.3. (Yeah, I know.) I then tried to flash 4.1.1, and then to the stock 4.0.4, which finally worked. I have tried flashing a 4.3 update file from the stock recovery, but it won't load since it says it's expecting to update files from 4.1.2, not 4.0.4.
Any suggestions?

Ah I'm even leary to take the OTA. I prefer custom roms and for the most part can't stand stock. It's just to bloated for me even with some bloatware removed

Sorry for jumping in with a dumb question, but does anyone have a link to a forum where it shows how to root the 4.3? Or is there Way to go back to 4.12 after 4.3 ota?

[Q] How can I root a Verizon SCH-I535 4.3?

Hi,
I was recently given a stock Verizon SCH-I525 but unfortunately they had upgraded it to android 4.3. I have tried almost every way to root this thing with no luck. How do I go about rooting this version? If I can't, is there a way to flash it back to one of the older versions and then root it?
Thanks
Jim

Would Also Like to know if this is possible?

4.4.2 touchwiz based ROMs for Galaxy s4 active i537

I've go all over the forums looking for a 4.4.2 ROM touchwiz based to try on my Galaxy s4 active i537, I'm also willing to try any ROMs to see if it's works or not and report it back to let others know.
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Tried ROMs on i537:
1. Hyperdrive RLS20-Working(must flash master patch for WiFi and other problems.)
2. Graviton-Tried! (bootloops)
Let me know of if you want me to try any Kitkat ROM I'll gladly try it.

Not KitKat but the OC7 SICKASHELL ROM is really nice. I believe it's the only i537 rom, with flash fire being new. If you're still on kitkat though, I believe the regional version of the s4a has a s*** ton of roms to choose from. I don't know how well they will work though.
