anyone else receive the update on their t999l?
How do i install this update? I have TWRP recovery and if i try and flash it in there it says failed. It fails trying to update the partition.
If there is any modification to the device, the OTA will fail. CWM used to be able to get around this when the recovery and root were the only changes, but I don't know if this is still the case. If you are running a rom, or have made any changes to /system, it will fail.
Im looking for the firmware, but its not posted yet. Hotfile is gone and the new file hosts that samsung-updates and sammobile are using are some of the worst I've encountered! Pretty sad when they make you miss Hotfile!
Once its released though, I will host it from my AFH account if anyone wants a faster download.
Does this have multiwindow?

Full firmware is now available. I am downloading now, but it will take nearly 5 hours to complete. Once done I will upload it to my AFH account so you guys dont have to suffer such long download times! I will also post the flashable MK4 modem. This should be compatible for both the T999L and T999N, but dont be surprised if this has changed!
T999V firmware will be posted in a bit as well.
anyone needing the ota here is the file.

On a more serious note, does this update do that weird mnt/0 thing or any of the emulated SD card crap that other ROM's do? Getting things straightened out after using those ROM's was nuts.

Yes, thankfully it does! We should of BEEN had multi-window on 4.1.2....I don't know why Samsung skipped out on the T999L with some of those little things. We got a 2 week delay from the suppose "screen shot date" so this better run good.

Install OTA, then download and install busy box and superuser app. Then use Odin to flash rogue stock ek02 kernel/recovery in development section. That should be all you need to do, to gain root.

Check the tread in development that says [dump]
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
first of all the update is not going to flash if you are rooted.
second if somehow you flash it just root like you did the first time.
updates don't wipe data but if you try to flash it on a rooted/non stock phone you are going to have to wipe and reflash anyway.
Hmm, hopefully I get this updated soon. Thanks for the help so far
Ok, I've been reading in the threads mentioned in the posts above and still feel somewhat confused. Apparently in the thread with "dump" in the title, I have to be on a stock EG30 "odexed" rom to flash the EK02 update.
I am currently on stock EG30 "deodexed" rooted rom. So do I need to first revert back to a stock odexed EG30 rom? Then odin the ek02.tar? Then find a root method?
So they've started releasing the OTA?
Got my notice this morning
Someone posted something in the sprint website on the link below. Looks like it started release yesterday...

Man why dont you just update with one of the rooted roms in the forum instead of dealing with all this what should I do and I am confused. All you need is here and if you are rooted already why are you worrying about the OTA..
I believe FOTA apk will stop you from seeing that. There is a disable update script you can run that freezes that(pm disable com.samsung) link here ). I mean way more options than what to do is says I have the update

No problem but so far so good with the Calk version 2.3.6 and I will be honest I debloat the hell out of the rom before I load it up on my phone. I get it down to about 165mb then install what I want too... So I dont really care for downloading OTA's never have since my OG Evo days
Can I let the Tmobile Update download and flash if I am rooted on the stock ROM and have Clockwork recovery? I would use ota root keeper to disable root also before the update.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
When it is rooted even if you try to use the OTA update it won't let you, while rooted, you could alternatively flash the update via ODIN w/ root support. Or try some of the sweet ROMs available , the reason I switched to a custom ROM because I was going to have to erase my phone anyway if I wanted to update, so I thought why not just try a custom ROM?
I use LiquidSmoothRC7, but if you want a more stock feel with touchwiz you can try Wicked, Wicked stays true to the "official stock ROMs" and just adds roots and tweaks the ROM to make it as stable as possible
If you are rooted, with a custom recovery, there is absolutely no reason for you to be playing around with Odin or OTAs... your updates are available in the development section

Actually there is. There are 10 partitions rewritten with the Odin and OTA update. Only 5 get rewritten if you flash via custom recovery, so you don't get the full update.

go to doc's thread, flash his firmware update, reboot, then flash whatever JB ROM you desire. there is absolutely no need to ODIN your phone with the OTA fw, resetting your device completely. you just need to make sure you flash the latest firmware first before you flash a ROM that is based off the latest OTA

Some of those 10 partitions that are getting rewritten are... for one, your recovery... so that makes 9 actually...
My point is, and I'm not trying to be argumentative in any way, merely objective, is that unless it is reformatting the ext4 partition to new file structure (for example) there should be no need to do this. I suppose I would ask somebody to define in depth "rewritten" and how exactly this is being done and why. Every single update we have had since the release of this device I have not once updated my own device with odin merely to put it back to stock. And I have run into zero issues. Seems like a waste of time to me unless there is something highly critical being restructured entirely. In the end, its all the same disk, and disk size for any given partition.

If you are on LH2, with that same baseband, I would go ahead and update your baseband via docs packaged update in his thread, and just reboot, then move on to the jelly bean updates. Do a factory reset through recovery before you flash the JB ROM tho since you are coming from a completely different version of android.

If you want to avoid all the weird miscellaneous problems listed in the Q&A forum, update using Odin and the rooted rom in Docs' thread. If you choose not to use Odin do not be surprised if odd things happen.
Just stating my experience, I was rooted stock ics and ran the ota update. I was able to update, keep root and ran stock jelly bean without any problems at all.
Now I am running frosty jelly and still no problems at all. I am not saying for you to do it (dont want anyone blaming me) just stating that it can be done. Do whats most comfortable for you.

Again looking for some technical clarity here. Haven't had a single issue myself. With anything. And I have not factory odined my device once since I got it. It is not critical to do this, otherwise I would be suffering from "weird miscellaneous problems"
Hopin doc can jump in here and set me straight if I am wrong, but it seems to me you will be fine just updating your radios and then moving to the latest build (4.1.1) as long as you clear data before flashing your ROM of choice

The file used to flash with Odin is much larger because it is a complete rom. The OTA is a patch that attempts to patch and modify existing files.

BENEFITS AND ENHANCEMENTS
-Actionable notifications will show up in the notification pane.
-Jelly Bean makes your Android device even more responsive by boosting your device's CPU instantly when you touch the screen, and turns it down when you don't need it to improve battery life.
-With Android Beam, you can now easily share your photos and videos.
-As you place widgets on the screen, everything else automatically moves to make room. If they're too big, widgets resize on their own. If you choose to resize a widget, apps and widgets will now also move out of the way.
-Google Now automatically delivers relevant real-time information.
NOTE: Google is releasing this update in stages. Your smartphone will receive a notification when this update becomes available to you.

Edit: I attached vlingo.apk from ICS for anyone who misses the Samsung voice commands and driving mode for bluetooth headsets. I figured they would of put that in, as it is law for hands free driving in Canada...but I guess they needed space. Enjoy.

It's actually 4.1.2. I'm running it now. Haven't had a whole lot of time to try it out but it seems pretty nice so far. It's a huge change from 4.0.4, will take some getting used to before I'm sure of what I like about it and don't
Did you install with Kies or Odin? Are you on Telus or Koodo?
Based on the file names, it doesn't look like there is much functional difference between the TLS and the KDO (same radio this time around?). I'll be downloading tonight.
I'm on Koodo and I used Odin for the update. I'm guessing the only difference is going to be the boot screens.

I've got CWM on it, but I don't use ODIN much.
Once the firmware is installed, users will have the ability to offload their app installs to the SD card. That's especially important for 16GB device owners who were upset to find that they had just 9.15GB of usable space on the device's storage. Moving apps to the SD card can save some of the needed space. Samsung has also found a way to squeeze another 0.08GB of space on the device's drive, according to SamMobile, which was first to report on the news.
In addition to handling the storage issue, the software update for the Galaxy S4 includes a host of fixes and improvements, including the ability to record HDR video and a fix for the purple effect users were seeing when scrolling through pages.

Nah, T-mobile DID send me the update, the very day i purchased my phone, like May 7th or 8th, I had the incremental update that i noticed changed my transparent notification bar to like charcoal black. I had noted the dates as April 26 before the update, and May 6-7 on the newer update.
It's just I decided to try CF Auto-Root, once i realized i just wanted things back to the way i had it, yes, I BOUGHT triangle away, ran the reset flash counter, saw my status on rom read custom, so i flashed the official stock tar by odin and now it says i'm on official.
Issue now is, although my counter is at 0, and the status says official, won't ota to may 7th. I will try Samsung Kies though.
Edit: Even Samsung Kies Reports i'm up to date, which, i suppose I am for the most part, but still not up to date with the incremental May 7th release.

Which official tar did you Odin? If it was the MDL build that is the may 7 update so that's why your phone would say up to date.
woops.

Oh wow, really? Yeah.. it's the MDL update.. gosh, how could i have made that mistake..
(just for reference to everyone else, i mean i odin'd this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258628
where it says "Download UVUAMDL Official TAR" )
See what I was looking at thinking I was behind was the kernel version..
I got so used to seeing the kernel get updated whenever a new update rolls out on my old phone that I had no idea the may 7th update didn't bring a newer kernel.
Yes. I have MDL on baseband/modem and on the build number. Thing that was throwing me off was paying attention to the kernel version as Friday, April 26, also, i could of sworn the homescreen status bar isn't supposed to be transparent, but mine is, looking back at how it wasn't transparent before last time i was on the may 7th build, now that it's transparent on some things, i just got really confused. might of been the old background i had before, seeing to it that it's clear on homescreen now, and charcoal black when i open settings.
What I did to get an I9505 Odin build on my M919 was just flash the firmware, wait for it to fail at modem, then odin flash the UVUAMDL modem. Reboot and everything is perfect (except the Samsung Knox modified notification, of course).

The only different I can see so far is the s voice. It also still shows 4.1.2. Stock unrooted. The samsung keyboard has a prev. Next button. Can email the pics I took while it was updating.

I got it, same file size as your picture. Haven't noticed much to be different. Baseband is UCAMH3, but I don't remember what it was before, if it was different.

I got it too. I notice that I can now make a Google Hangout video call over LTE.
It seems like it's running smoother now

Anyone kind enough to make a flashable Baseband only UCAMH3 zip? I would love to try the new Baseband but I am only a Tmobile Rom.
Hopefully someone will zip it up for all of us to try out the modem and if stock rooted whatever else is in the update.

Uh no I don't believe that's the case cause it was real glitchy the days leading up to gettanding this. Messenger would freeze and fc along with Internet. Can't Judge on battery life yet but it seems about the same.
Its def smoother, as a matter of fact smoother than my s4 hopefully Samsung gets the 4.3 update right

Got the same update. My sound profiles went back to factory settings.... meh... haha more work for me to do on a Sunday

I do not know about smoothness or battery but after updating, Bluebox Security Scanner shows I am patched for both the 8219321 and the 9695860 bugs. I cannot remember which one it was but before the update I was only patched for one. Root also survived.
Just curious how the update isnt breaking root. It is breaking mine, just on stock with UCAMA4 rooted fine, grabs the update and installs and *poof*, no root
OK, maybe I'm just really really stupid (probably HAHA) but every time I've tried to DL this and the thing reboots, it reboots into TWRP, and there I'm stuck - would have thought it would have tried to install itself outside of TWRP recovery, or am I really missing some point here?
OTA update requires stock recovery to install.

I did a recovery install via Kies to get my Note 2 back to stock which removed root. I then made my phone download software updates which now has it at 4.1.2 with Baseband Version I317UCAMH3. I changed the day numerous times and tried Software Updates again but it says I am now at the most current version so I then rooted the phone again! Mine still has the ripple lockscreen as well. I'm not sure why yours disappeared!

+1 There are a number of folks posting they took the MH3 OTA update... what is being asked here is if one of you could kindly post the OTA update file (i.e., on dropbox, then share the dropbox link). In the past, ATT OTAs were stored in " /cache/fota" folder. There are folks here on XDA who can extract the kernel... extract the modem... etc from that OTA and repackage in flashable zips for the rest of the community to try (those who either cannot get the MH3 OTA to download/install... or for those who do not want to flash back to stock in order to take the MH3 OTA). Can someone who has updated to MH3 take a look (via your favorite file explorer) and see if they still have the MH3 update in /cache/fota folder? Thanks.
