Freeze or uninstall SDM and reboot. That's what I did, saw some other post here saying the same thing.
Really? Custom romantic and recovery and you got an ota? I'm running beans 11 and nothing was pushed to my phone

I'm running rooted stock and it's forcing me as well. I thought it was disabled on all the root roms even stock ones? Not sure how to stop it other than keep defering it.
OTA
I just accepted the OTA, restored to factory defaults, one step rooted it, got rom manager from the play store, booted into clockwork and then reapplied my rom. No biggie.

Just because it worked ok on yours doesn't mean it will on everyone's. Good way to brick your device...
Is this the new security fix? I heard there was a major browser vulnerability.

Probably not, they don't like to fix actual problems. They prefer to make minor tweaks and such to their bloat instead. You didn't want your device to actually work as advertised did you?
what's the baseband version after ota?
can someone upload the latest ota?

What's up crew?
After my update the baseband version is I535VRLG7.
I used Mobile Odin pro to PRE-ROOT the OTA before flashing it.... Successfully I should add.
I don't have the OTA Handy for you though, but if you do a little searching around this forum I'm sure someone has it here for downloading.
The OTA did not update my modem though, I had to flash the G7 baseband version separately. Found it on RootzWiki.
Edit:
Found it: OTA update.

You guys can .... SAFELY... check your device to see if you're vulnerable to the hack on this site.
http://www.androiddoes.net/news/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-ussd-hack-test/
Read up on the page.. it says something about if Your Dialer screen coming up and your IMEI is being displayed on it then you have the Vulnerability.. if nothing happens.. or if your dialer comes up with nothing being displayed then you're probably safe.

The phone wipe hack was fixed months ago on the S3. I took the OTA then unlocked (casual) and unlocked boot loader (EZ Unlock). No problems no issues. Slammed Beans 12 non-kexec back on it and I really don't see any difference.... World didn't end Phone police didn't knock my door down.... Nothing....

I'm on Beans 12, or was possibly on 11 at the time, when it tried to DL.
I was stock rooted on ICS and did the update saving my root with OTA Rootkeeper. When JB was installed I restored my root and now on my reboots it shows me as running custom with an unlock icon. Is there a way to remove the unlock icon?

I'm surprised unlocking the Bootloader would remove the custom icon. Wonder why that is. Anyways The icon is gone now. The phone boots right off the 1st Samsung icon real fast too lol.
If you want to keep root, don't update to today's MF3 OTA as it break motochopper exploit and prevents Rootkeeper from working
Some members have sacrificed themselves:

Anybody knows if it break Loki too?
It has been well documented that trying to ODIN back to MDL does not work and causes an immediate fail
If you wish to have the new features then run GoldenEye ROM, a fantastic i9505 MF8 based ROM that runs smooth as melted butter. It also has all latest MF3 additions such as App2SD, audio flickering and sms fix
I have been trying to tell everyone that...
DO NOT UPDATE PERIOD

If you can't root, you can't install custom recovery. Can't install custom recovery, can't loki...
If using customer recovery, I don't think the update will apply.
The question should be answered once root is achieved.

It might break motochopper, but what tells you that once another root method is found, loki will still work? that was my question
It's not going to break loki I don't think, it has KNOX but thats a seperate bootloader that allows apps to run with full security, our phone doesnt boot into Knox mode.

It was made specifically for the active. It will not run on other devices. You would have to modify the apk or make a root method off of it

Might have to do the same thing we had to do in the Motorola Atrix HD - edit some of the XML files out and then flash it though ODIN.
I just got my S4 today and updated it outside of the box. I'm now trying to root.
I know that the motochopper method is broken, but is the odin method broken?

The software simply says "PASS" and your phone is rooted.

To late Can't downgrade. You'll have to wait and be patient until a new exploit is found for the new firmware.
To boot I did the same thing. My S4 came with AMDB installed. I updated out of box to AMDL without even checking first in the parking lot of the AT&T store. Got home and luckily found AMDL was still rootable.
I have one question.... what exactly does this update do besides patch stuff because its 300+ mb? Just wondering because I had to freeze my att updater

Can anyone answer this dumb question. I unrooted via SU app with the intention of trying to take the update, then just root again via recovery. I rebooted after the unroot script and was stuck in bootloop until i rerooted.... way?

Pretty simple actually.....

1. Flash newest update via Odin, reboot
