4.4 upgrade manually - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I have safestrap and rooted my vzw gs3. Though its a vzw phone, I am using it with ATT. I tried to get kitkat via OTA and it didn't work. Is there a way to manually install/flash 4.4 stock manually. Can someone email/point me to the file and instructions. Thanks in advance

Thanks. I had tried that link before I decided to post here. The link from rapidgator does not work. Any other place where I can get kitkat stock?

There is not root for 4.4 yet. I don't doubt it will be out in the next 1 or 2 months
So, has anyone upgraded this to Kit-Kat yet? I don't think we'll ever see it from AIO.
So the aio variant for sure has a locked bootloader?

Don't know for sure. It came with MH1. Is there any way to tell that won't cause a brick?
off hand I don't know but I'm gonna look around. I'm on aio but have the at&t version I've been wanting to sell mine and get a different version.
Wow, just got a software update notice for 4.4.2. Of course I'm afraid to even try to install it. I don't want to lose root. I'm just shocked to even see it.

Do you have root? I know there's a way to download and grab the zip from the phone if you have root. Otherwise the other method you suggested may work.
EDIT: Root method is easier as you just download, use file manager to get it from /cache, and then you can upload it for others. I don't know which root methods do and don't work for your device however. Logcat can be done, you'll just be looking through a lot of lines of logs possibly.

its true what you say, i have been trying logcat but it shows a ton of lines, and im searching for the hotword .zip or zip or update and no results give me a URL, maybe samsung is cloaking the update from logcat or they found a way to hide it, in my phone the root i know it works is kingo root, but when im rooted the phone does not let me download the update, it says "your phone has been modified, updates are not available"

Try installing Xposed Framework and Wanam Xposed, and use the fake Official system status option. I think that might fix it but I don't remember all it checks.

You need to tell us what rom version you're running? Go into settings->about phone and report the rom version.(like 4.1.2 or 4.3 etc..)

Is this true for all 4.3 or just those with Knox? Last night I was trying to update from cm10.2 to cm11 and realised that trwp needed an update. After a some failed boots pf cm10 and 11 I decided to just go back to stock since I need it during the day..and unknowingly put the dreaded 4.3 on via odin. I understand how to get root...but what I really want is my bootloader again. Did I screw myself by putting 4.3 on? Thanks.

You're stuck on 4.3 now, your bootloader is locked. Using Odin to load a stock 4.3 firmware is the exact same thing.
You should've odin'd a stock 4.1.2 firmware, but it's too late now.

Don't flash any ROMs for the S4 onto your S3. Through safestrap you can flash almost any of the 4.3 TW (ML1) ROMs found in this section:

If he rooted his Verizon S3 on VRBMF1 4.1.2, then he could use EZ Unlock v1.2 to unlock the bootloader. Or he could use Casual.

Great. Now if they accidentally or intentionally take the 4.3 VRUCML1 OTA, using EZ Unlock will cause a bootloader hard brick. Please make sure your friend understands this.

The kernel has been changed so saferoot will not work. I'm sure there are root methods for after the update but they won't be one click root. When I get home tonight I'll make a custom tar pre rooted for people who want to be on the newest build.

So I do not confuse you, you're referring to another file that is for those of us who have an unlocked bootloader. It is the VRUCML1 modem-ONLY zip, this is something that is useless to you on 4.3 but is useful to those of us with an unlocked bootloader.
Edit: this modem-ONLY zip is roughly 20 MBs in size. Completely different thing than what ThePagel has supplied with a link. Basically, forget what you read about VRUCML1 being unavailable because the specific file is of no use to you.
ThePagel posted the Odin flashable, stock image tar that is readily available. That has always been available and will continue to be so. That 1.2+ GB tar file is to return to fresh, out of the box factory settings.

Yes, they are the same. I was simply agreeing with ThePagel. VRUCML1 and VRUCNC1 are both 4.3. You can not flash anything pre-4.3, so nothing that starts with VRA** or VRB***. Those are off limits for you.

Since you are already locked into 4.3, once you ODIN back to ML1, your only options are saferoot, safestrap, and safestrap compliant ROMs which are pretty much all the 4.3 touchwiz ROMs. You can read all about them in these threads:

Honestly I wouldn't know. I have an unlocked bootloader. You'd have to ask someone else on that one. There are apps in the play store to check the IMEI. Unsure what you would even need the test mode for as they have disabled most of the testing on the S3 models

Do you know what that means? (on picture). how can we know the device is already unlocked bootloader?
That means nothing much, only that knox/firmware knows that you flashed odin or another ROM.
Go into the stock recovery and post a picture of that.
If it DOES NOT SAY NE1, your bootloader can be unlocked AFAIK.
If it DOES SAY NE1, JTAG is your only hope to downgrade(and it isn't worth it on a device this old imo)

No way to go stock after new update?

I asked in the MOAR q&a thread but realized it's a generic question that does not generally pertain to the ROM.

What version are you on now? As of PK1 firmware, you cannot flash back to a previous version, you would need PK1 or newer to go back to stock.
