4.3 Update Rolling Out To GE S4

And it started.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...e-play-edition-samsung-galaxy-s4-and-htc-one/

Probably a dumb question, but anybody know a way to force the update? I'd really like to get my phone to 100% stock, official 4.3 firmware.

I wonder how long it takes until there is a pre-rooted flashable ROM available. So glad they are updating this phone quickly.

I used the trick of clearing Google Application Framework. Worked like a charm! I'm pulling the OTA file now before I update.

Try to pull the zip file if you can. I think you can flash it with the stock recovery.

So I got the update OTA on my T-Mobile GS4 running the rom from this thread.
Anyone know what will happen if I update? I don't know if I'll lose root, recovery, etc.

Where would the update be stored on the phone? I doubt it's somewhere easy like Download..

A quick google seems to point to /cache being its location.

I'm a noob when it comes to using command line. I checked the /cache folder after logging into to SU. But not sure where to go from there.
list shows:
lost+found
recovery
and there doesn't appear to be anything in the recovery folder, and not this is in lost+found:
#117121
?! No idea.

I am on a Google Edition I9505G, I reverted back to stock recovery and was able to flash this just fine. Your mileage may vary if you do not have a GT-I9505G. It may turn your device into a lawnmower...I just dunno.

I'll inspect when I get home. The ATT and I9505 are pretty much the same. I've been running I9505 GE ROM without issue for a bit while. If its just a kernel and system update then it should be fine. We will see shortly.

Can you still get the OTA if you are rooted? I've cleared Google Service Framework but I'm still not getting it.

Haven't noticed it mentioned on any websites yet, but a notable change is with cover view, we reverted from thin font time to Google favored fat hours & skinny minutes. Yuck.

Stagefright fix - Lollipop AT&T

I made a fix for AT&T Galaxy S4 Stagefright vulnerability.
Attached the zip file for you to flash.
Below pictures of the device before and after applying the patch.
Please rate 5 stars and thank, it doesn't cost you anything.
Note: This fix is for AT&T Lollipop ROMs on or after OC3 version.
KitKat users: Please, don't even try to flash this fix!

Giving it a shot now.
---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ----------
Installed on OC3 rooted via flashfire and it worked great. Thanks!

Hidden - mistaken info that I posted
Applied the update from I337UCUFNJ4 [4.4.4].
It wiped and reset my phone.

Hidden - incorrect info that I posted
I took a picture of my screen with another phone while the zip was running

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3ePa0Zibh6URXZqZl9FeXpVNjA/view?usp=sharing

Hidden - incorrect info that I posted
I did make note before I flashed that I had two different zips on my sd card. One was this stagefright fix and another was 2400258.zip which was leftover from some previous flashing. I was consious not to pick that file and I'm reasonably sure I didn't (unless maybe I got confused by the color of highlighting). After phone became reset I checked my system and it was still 4.4.4 and still rooted. (that other zip if I had flashed it should have made me 4.4.2 I think).
At any rate, no big deal for me, I'll go ahead and upgrade to Lollipop latest version (including Stagefright fix) using the Flashfire method.
I guess I'm 99% certain the op's zip caused my reset but there's always the case I may be mistaken. If others reporto they have successfully flashed from the same place I started, the likelihood I was mistaken probably goes up.

@electricpete1
If you pay close attention to the pictures you posted, you will see that what you flashed was a Multi CSC update, the file I uploaded doesn't even deal with CSC.
Open my file and you will see that only stagefright libraries are included, not a single CSC file there.
Besides, the fix is intended for Lollipop and as far as I know I337UCUFNJ4 [4.4.4] is KitKat.
KitKat users: Please, don't even try to flash this fix!

@churapa Thanks, I guess I must have flashed the wrong file.
Sorry for posting bad info on your thread. I edited my posts above to "hide" the info to clean up the thread.
Thanks for your contributions to our community.
I just finished flashing to latest Lollipop with stagefright protection (I337USUGOC4), so it worked out fine for me.

Works great, thanks

Thanks for keeping this up to date. It did not work, however, and might be my fault?
I am on OC4, using OD7 Build of GE 53 on ATT S4 i337. The first patch in OP worked and got it all fixed except 6602. Should I try with clearing cache or something? Thanks folks!
***Btw, I am flashing this with using NC1 Flasher, then after updating 6606 .zip via SS, I flash OC4 kernel again*** Is this a problem?

Hopefully dev editions can just odin a package that doesn't include the bootloader.
Also, I did not expect WiFi calling or advanced audio with this.

I'm sure there will be a method to root it on dev editions.
Like, maybe odin flash a tar without the bootloader and recovery, then before booting into system, immediately boot into TWRP, flash SuperSU, reboot to bootloader, odin flash a tar with just the bootloader and recovery, boot to system, re-unlock bootloader.
Shrug. Someone will figure it out.

Aboot is the part of the bl that tells unlocked/locked. We may just be able to only flash sboot (secondary bl) from MM and it would work. I don't have a dev edition so I have no idea.
Also, for us on unlocked bl, they may have updated the EMMC firmware, so we SHOULD NOT try to unlock on MM.

Has anyone taken the plunge yet? Curious to hear reports on this release.

Got Echoe Rom working on sprint galaxy s7!!!

got echoe rom working without having to flash to tmobile firmware like one poster did. yes on the sprint s7 variant. started on universal firmware, rooted. then i flashed stang5litre rom. couldnt get data to work on it. so i then flashed echoe and it worked!! yes i did a full data wipe each time... had to edit build prop (310120), then add apn2 in apn settings. everything works... not sure if it has to do with stang5litre, or i could have just flashed over universal firmware.

[ROM] [DEV aboot ONLY] Verizon Stock Rooted DEODEXED PG2 [kltevzw]

Hi everyone, I'm going to post a separate thread about this. None other than @jrkruse has once again made us a stock modified rom for the Verizon galaxy S5. Lets go over the basics shall we?
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
You MUST have an unlocked bootloader in order for root to work!(Or you may/probably will bootloop your phone)
This rom uses an updated bootloader, but it is not needed, you may flash this over the PD1 and PF4 bootloader!
If you wish to update your bootloader or need to unlock, please goto my thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...t/rd-unlocking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909
Features
DEODEXED
Knox Removed!
Amazon Bloat Removed
Verizon Bloat Removed
Rooted!
Hotspot Fix!
Installation
Please read everything Above before continuing
Well you continued so I assume you understand what you are doing
One last time, you MUST HAVE AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER TO FLASH
You also MUST BE ON PD1+ Bootloaders!
You need to download the ROM from here
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=312968873555004789
Flash it inside TWRP or Flashfire or Safestrap(Or whatever method you may be using to flash roms)
I recommend against Dirty flashing however if you are coming from a 6.0.1 ROM you probably are fine
Wipe Cache/Dalvik
Reboot!
You should be done!

I don't know for sure, but my bet is it because the programs check something for security/anticheat reasons, and since we are rooted and unlocked it fails and won't work. That's just a guess though.

Wasn't sure if it had something to do with the fact that some of the bloatware was removed or what you are saying. I am on rooted, deodexed, modded PF4 already but never tried either app so for all I know I cannot use them already on my current ROM.
EDIT: And now I see what happens on PF4 with Samsung Pay. The app cannot verify the Android software when adding a card, rendering Android Pay useless. Oh well.

Last I checked SuHide was a bit of a disaster and had alot of issues(especially for xposed users since I'm not aware of a systemless xposed version for our Special Samsung ART runtime and atop that, I thought it bootlooped my S5 during testing.

I use it on s7 and it works fine but I don't use xposed. I used an earlier version on s5 and it worked but then again I didn't use xposed framework. So I guess the best would be just read through the suhide thread and see if latest versions work with xposed. By the way I meant to ask earlier, how is everything going. Good I hope.

Things are a bit of mayhem, stuff not working, computers breaking, limited internet. Always something. Anyhow, @Chainfire said it doesn't work with xposed, only systemless
