If I took the 4.3 update and Im on a custom unlock according to bootup, am I able to do anything as far as custom recovery's and or rom's? Im a flashing addict and I fear that taking this 4.3 update has screwed the potential I used to have lol. I know there are forums on the update and some news but I'm trying to get it narrowed down could someone be of assistance?

The only recovery you can use is safestrap and the only roms you can use are TouchWiz 4.3 roms.

Yup your screwed. Everyone says you can use tw roms but u cant. Ohh you can root and put safestrap on it. And create rom slots but when u flash one it just goes to a black screen. So yes. Your flashoholic days are over my friend. Trust me. Im stock now. 4.3 JB. Yup. Randomly shuts down, freezes, battery last about an hour. Throw your phone as hard as u can at a verizon rep

Where did you hear this? I highly doubt we're going to get the update, even if the international version is going to get it It'll be months afterwards before Verizon even thinks about pushing an update to us. They really have no incentive to push a kit-kat build to us.

Hey guys. Just got an LTE version of the Notepro. I went to update it, first thing. It says that my software version has been modified and that updates are not available. Having just unpacked the device. Is this something i should be worried about or just send it back?

I would send it back.

Basically its a german lte version. They all seem to be affected. If samsung does fix this, could the update go through, despite this message?
Checked knox and its stil 0x0. So this is a bug.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
But in the case they fix this could an update go through via Ota or kies, even when it says this.

All my Samsung devices are rooted, and none take the OTA with the same "your device has been modified" error. All are upgradable through Kies without any issue. Just went to KK on my S4 and Note 10.1 (2014) via Kies without any problems at all.

KK is KitKat (4.4.2 for the S4 and Note 10.1). Yes, Kies seems to bypass even the knox counter. *IF* it is confirmed that all the German LTE devices are doing this, I would not worry. If it's just yours, I'd send it back. But if it is all of them, you will always be able to update via Kies and I would suspect the first update would fix this OTA issue.
I have the same problem with mine, Italian Note Pro LTE. After the first OTA the status changed to Modified. I have also tried with ODIN to reflash, but it is still Modified. Obviously the Note Pro has not been modified or rooted in any way.
It seems a common problem.

Hi. If we want to update thorough Kies and we are on custom recovery, should we first flash stock recovery?? Thanks.

Kies doesn't use recovery.

I read in the Singapore hardware zone forums that they too had ths problem with the LTE version. With the latest March (Singapore is one of the first to get it), the problem was fixed. They were able to fix it with an OTA update. So my advice for now is just hang in there untill the update arrives. I for example just returned my unit and waiting for the update.

I unboxed my Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 this morning. I get the same error when trying to check if the the software is up to date.
Where you able to fix yours?
Apparently there is an update AT&T is forcing that is causing massive amounts of phones to crash with a "No Sim Card Found, Restarting..." error message. Then you get "Emergency Calls Only".
I was told this by the in store warranty department at AT&T today when there were several people in front and behind me with the exact same issues. I reflashed, rebooted, got a new SIM card...nothing! Still here now with a phone that wont make or receive calls waiting for a new one.
The only fix AT&T is aware of? Get a replacement!
What update? Post a screen shot of your "About device".
Good luck with the replacement device.

That is for the international S4 9505. iB4 has built a ROM on that update for the i337/m.
Sent from my SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
My S4 automatically updated itself and removed my root access. I'm on NC1 and so far, its not that bad. Battery life did improve, but I don't like how the battery bar is white instead of green. At one time, my phone did the Emergency Call Only. But after I reset the phone, everything went back to normal.
I miss having a rooted phone lol.
My phone does the "no sim card found, restart" a few times a week...but its usually gone after the restart, occasionally ot takes a couple restarts...I am currently on nc1, however I have been experiencing this issue before I was even on kitkat

You'd have to downgrade. It's easier to flash the 4.4 keeproot OTAs, the nb1 and then nc1, or even just a 4.4.2 custom ROM.

I could only delay the so many time that it finally upgraded this afternoon. I lost my root.
The only reason that I root is simply to be able to tether. I'm not interested in custom ROMs, etc. So, in my situation, is there a more direct (simpler) method to get me back to tethering on 4.4.2?
Thanks in advance!

You still need to do the downgrade, but you can flash a the stock ROM with root and tether once you do. No way around the downgrade to root yet.

I finally traded in my unlimited data plan for the 10gb family plan because it's cheaper and they allow tethering with it.

Im aware its a hardware issue, I was just stating my experience as the op claimed it was a new update that caused it, although that is perfectly understandable as he states the service rep stated this was the issue...but how often do those service reps reall know what they are talking about lol.
As far as taking it to a store...I have spilled water on the table my phone was on...and now my water indicators are pink, so I havent taken it in cause I figured they would deny me due to water damage even tho the problem existed long before that happened

I am getting the update as well now. I have delayed it but I need root and have unlocked the phone. 4.3 mk2. But I use mdl modem to access service mode.
Can I just freeze the files to prevent the update from happening?

Use Odin
Link for the FW.
Follow this link for the firmware update.
It has the most recent update available for our phone other than OTA. It is 5.1.1 and there are instructions and a link to the ODIN software.
I finally got it to work, thanks anyways I'm on og7

The link above has OG5. Good. Smartswitch gives you OG7. Better. OTA is OG9. Required for Samsung Pay.
Question: How long does it take for Smartswitch version to catch up to OTA?
Answered my own question. OTA was on 10/16. Today on 10/23, OG9 is available on Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant. I assume Smartswitch would've also had it if i tried it first.
"This software update includes Android security updates for your Samsung Galaxy S5"
Based on what I've seen from people who updated, here's the info:
Still 5.0 with the same changelist as the past 3 updates (4782027)
Patches all the known issues with stagefright
Includes the 2015-11-01 security patch from google.
Here is the update.zip for anyone (hopefully @muniz_ri) that wants to make a ROM from it.
Probably another update to screw us over like oe1

Was it worth it? I am in the same boat and scared to pull the trigger. I am kicking myself for doing the latest update because I have the unlimited data plan (which just want up $20 per month by the way).

Is it safe to download this update, move it to the external sd card, then use the button combo and update it that way without a PC? I don't have one and my OTA update thing keeps telling me "software update is currently not available". BTW I'm on the OG5 version currently.
