I'm running AMO (Spain) firmware and was wondering will I receive OTA updates when new security patches come out or will I have to manually update the phone? Thanks.

You will probably need to manually download the update and flash it.

Yes, sammobile firmwares never wipe. (Unless you try to downgrade)
So as long as I keep the CSC is the same it shouldn't wipe?

I'm pretty new but I wanna know how can we upgrade to 4.4.3 if we are rooted? Obviously OTA is out of the question

Well there's a few ways. You can go back to comepletely stock and accept the OTA or wait until someone puts out a 4.4.3 build.

Nope not yet
Check your Update setting on your S4. Update is 392.48 MB download.
Sure I will loose ROOT. It is downloading Now.
It updates to 4.4.4. Not a whole lot added but bloat. Did make the phone more snappier after the update though.

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

Glad you got it

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.
Finally got the official update to 7.0...
happy update checking =-)
its 1563.03Mb in size.....uploading screenshots in a moment. You don't need to be in the BETA to get the update.

Can confirm. Its smooth as butter, too.

Getting mine too
Hey guys, I have a question I hope someone can help me out with. I have the sm-g935v which I flashed to sm-g935u. I'm considering flashing it to sm-g935t since the unlocked firmware will be getting quarterly updates which is unfortunate, and I would like to use samsung cloud, FM radio, and now Nougat. Would I have to factory reset my phone back to the verizon firmware before flashing tmobile's, or can I just flash from my current unlocked firmware straight to tm? Prior to Nougats release, I had downloaded the latest tmobile firmware and tried to flash it with no success so not sure what I did wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
OTA
Won't taking the OTA update certain partitions we don't necessarily want to update? Like the BL, for example? Could this prevent rolling back to 6.0.1 if there are issues? Or does this not matter since we don't have an unlocked BL anyway? Thanksssss
Apparently I do not see that update on my phone as of now

The update is for T-Mobile users using the T firmware. You are on the US Unlocked firmware.
I got this also and updated this morning. Very smooth and loving it! Did OTA update and one thing i noticed after updating i wasn't able to clear my cache like before. When i power down, hold all 3 buttons (power, home and up key) get a screen more like a warning saying installing other firmware's or roms can damage my device. Not the exact wording but similar. Has anyone else tried doing that and got the same warning msg?
