Software update from Tmobile

Just checked for software update and downloading it right now. Its 94.45MB. Anyone know what this update is for?
Finished downloading and try to install but failed. Is it because my phone is rooted?

Maybe that's why. I'm not rooted so ill try it. Brb
Edit.: updated no problem now we haz brightness slider on notification
Sent from my SGH-T999

I need help bad... Please anyone help me

A couple of weeks ago, I went on Sammobile and installed a leaked OTA that I thought didnt carry any problems with until now. I Installed the UVLI1 verson. Now yesterday, I just found out that I will not be able to get any OTAs from T-Mobile since my modem number is changed. So I tried to Install the UVALH2 update so I can get back on the offical modem but its not letting me install it! Im 100% stock. No root or anything. I need help please.

Thanks guys... It may have taken 2 hours but I finally Rooted my phone for the first time... Flashed the previous update and now im just waiting for it to start so i can unroot my phone... I like knowing that I have a warranty on it

One more noob question.... How do you know if your phone is unrooted? I Flashed the previous update and cleared my cashe and wiped my data and now my device status is normal. does that mean that im not rooted anymore?

Glad you're learning some of the basics but you should definitely read before you start going to sammobile and installing leaks. You should be glad that your phone isn't bricked.

Learning is what happens when you do something that you don't have the knowledge to do. If I said I knew what I was doing before I started flashing, I would be a liar. That being said, a smart person learns from other people's mistakes. Read a lot.
It's simple. Basically, never flash anything that isn't made for the SGH-T999. And if using Odin, always use PDA.
Since you are rooted, get Terminal Emulator from the Play Store. Run it, and type: su <enter> reboot nvbackup <enter>. This will backup your IMEI data, so it can be restored should it ever become corrupted. You will only need to do this one time.
Follow these instructions, and it's pretty much impossible to hard brick.
You want to check root status? Why do you need another app from the Play Store? Just open Superuser/SuperSU. It will tell you if the binaries are present/updated. Though, the presence of a su app is generally indicative that you have root access.

[Q] Still cannot root.

TWRP recovery

Hey Guys, coming from the Samsung galaxy nexus. Receiving my s4 in a few days.
Just a few question to install twrp:
1.Root using motochopper
2. Install goo manager
3. Install TWRP
4. Funfun
Are those the correct steps? Thanks!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I think unlock bootloader should be in there somewhere.

Isn't tmobile s4 boot loader already unlocked?

Yes twrp will be permanent unless you flash it back to stock.

Did doing it that way change your system status in Odin mode? I Odin'ed TWRP and then rooted. Now I have a system status of Custom instead of Official.

If u have a custom recovery the status will always say custom. Only flashing back to stock through odin will make it official again.

I'm used to my Galaxy S2 I guess. It never said custom. Tried Odin k0ane's stock file. Still says custom. I thought I was going to have to return the phone. It started using hotspot data for all data. I was almost to my 500 meg limit. A factory reset fixed it and Tmo gave me an extra 2gb hotspot data for this month only for free.

What's the difference between custom and official?

Official is all stock factory system. Custom means you altered the system and your warranty is probably void. That's why people try to flash back to stock if they need to get their phone repaired or replaced.

I see. Coming from the galaxy nexus, so much to learn..
Also, where can I get the samsung USB Drivers to do the motochopper?

Take a look ant the N2 and S3 forums - they have threads on returning to stock and i am sure we will see one here - AS SOON as and only when an official Samsung TMo firmware is available.
If you break or brick your device before then you will have to wait before sending it in to Samsung or TMo.

I can't believe sammobile hasn't gotten the firmwares posted yet. Isn't this unusual? Doesn't Samsung usually release the firmware almost immediately?

Does anyone know why that when I download something to my internal sd card and then boot into twrp and try to install it the file is missing in the download folder. Am I doing something wrong? i'm coming from cwm and things are a lot different. Any help would be great thanks

Chad created versions for different LGOG models. He's legit. Wouldn't post in the Sprint forums unless he had something. There is a link for a geespr model (that's us).

Well, I didn't get that far in the ROM because I noticed I was getting the bug where I wouldn't get data after switching back from wifi. Really killed the vibe for me. Maybe an APN switch would've fixed it, but I didn't try it, haha.
