This is most likely the update from a couple weeks ago getting rolled out. It was a kernel fix for the Exynos Abuse exploit. If you use ota rootkeeper you can easily restore root at the ota.

Looks like nothing new from tmobile or sammy besides the l4 update. So that'd be my guess as well.

Will ota rootkeeper always be able to restore root even after significant updates like say 5.0?
I was able to keep root after the last ota update but I've heard it may be lost after more significant updates..? - Thnx

I'm sorry I'm still new to this section of XDA i just upgraded from a GS3. Has the 4.1.2 came out for the note 2? I did an update two days ago but still on 4.1.1

I can confirm that ota rootkeeper works. I did the update. Here is a screenshot of new kernel and software

Its not out yet officially. But you can flash 4.1.2 international ROMS if you are rooted.

Not from the tmobile forum. You will see the 4.1.2 base that works on our phones, they were ported over. You also have 4.2 from CM and AOKP. I I've yet to try flashing one from the International forum itself though, and I won't.

Why hasn't there been a 4.4 Google Edition rom in t-mobile s4 dev section?
Is there a problem with the kernel ?

There's really no point. A T-Mobile version of the rom wouldn't give you anything different than flashing the i9505 version(it comes naturally from Google without carrier branding) and making it for the i9505 will let the rom reach a wider audience. The only thing you might have to do after flashing is change the apn setting for lte.

Owner of Tmobile M919 model want to install 4.4 kitkat
Hello Guys
First thanks in advance to anyone that may be able to provide me some info / input on my questions.
1. I would like to get out of the samsung branded install of the tmobile S4 and try a rom that would give me stock OS like the Google edition / Nexus phones.
2. Is it it possible to get 4.4 kitkat stock/custom rom installed on this phone ? any recommendations / issues ? i know that wifi calling is lost with stock roms but what about tethering ?
My phone is already rooted and TW recovery installed.

1.) Just go over to the Development section and browse the different 4.4 based Roms. They're almost updated every other day. I've tried a few of them and each has their strengths/weaknesses. Just always make sure that you Backup your current software so that if there is an issue, you can return to a previously working software.
2.) If you haven't upgraded to the MK2 radio yet, I would advise reading all that you can about it and performing that (provided you're still on MDL Bootloader). Tethering was still available with all of the 4.4 Roms that I tried. Ultimately, it comes down to what you prefer. I went back to a stock-ish 4.3 Rom because of certain features that a GE Rom just didn't have.
Best of luck!

i had been wondering this myself as well. this does look like the rom i want. im still on the 4.3 version of it atm, does installing the mk2 radio stuff do anything for me? and if so at what point would it be best to do the install? ( now or after installing the 4.4 rom?) i guess i dont fully grasp what the radio does for me.
thanks

The radio is more like a driver for all you cellular hardware. KitKat does not like the old firmware. That being said if you don't upgrade you may or may not have issues. Updating firmware would be best before installing your ge ROM. I would test it out now on you current ROM and then switch over to KitKat. Have you rooted or updated to new 4.3? What ROM are you on now?

ahh thanks for the reply, im running jamals gpe 4.3 rom from the dev section,rooted, twrp recovery. was watching the forums so i never updated to the stock tw 4.3 thing, went from stock 4.2.2 tw directly to this rom.

If I were you I would follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544612 it worked for me. This will upgrade radio without giving you Knox. IMHO I think dandroids ge ROM is the best. Also infamous (the man) is about to drop a ge ROM any minute. I am using the beta version and its rock solid.

Honestly they are all similar. The come from the same base. I do like the faux kernel of dandroid. Can droid has been the smoothest. Jamal's was good and is fully stock virtually untouched. His development was slower than other so I jumped ship. If you like his work stick with it. I use dandroid for the built in xposed framework. I can mod the hardware buttons and status bar easily and a little less bloat. Infamous has more bells and whistles. Hope that helps. Oh and FYI I have dirty flashed between all of these ROMs no problem. I also clean flashed them as well to really compare. Worst case scenario you just nandroid backup the one you like and flash em all they are smaller size to back up. Let me know how it works out

I rooted using this method while still on 4.1.2 and it worked flawlessly.
I then paid for and installed SuperSU Pro and activated "Survival Mode"
Lastly, after the OTA update was COMPLETELY finished, I followed this simple procedure to get root back again.
SuperSU disables Knox for you on 4.3 which is also nice. I should have qualified here that I am COMPLETELY stock other than root. I have not "frozen" any apps., deleted any Samsung provided files, etc. and I have stock bootloader and stock recovery. This will likely NOT work if you have done any of those things.

Is there a flashable version of this? If not, can somebody make one? Thanks.

I'm running a custom rom and rollouts/updates from vendors freak me out because I don't trust not one of them. Knowing AT&T they have thrown in some bit of encryption that locks the bootloader. I understand this might not be the case this time but I do know none of them can be trusted.
Now if you excuse me, I'm 1/2 done with 1984 the book and my tin foil hat is making me itch.

Guys I need help I am stuck, I am using unlock att with tmobile, I check software update but it days interrupted, and I even tried with kies but it's not connecting at all, I tried 2 pcs.... Any help... What to do to update it... Please

I have a few questions for you and/or those more in the know:
If I were to do this same thing, would I be able to flash a custom recovery (like TWRP) and/or flash custom ROM's/Kernels like I can already do now? One of my main concerns is that the stock kernel doesn't support Boeffla Sound, and that really makes for better audio on this device...might as well take full advantage of that Wolfson DAC...
I have to admit, it would be nice to be able to use pure AT&T stock, but rooted, as a base...this is why I loved the old CleanROM AT&T SE so much...
TIA for any guidance you can give on this.
Side note: after ODIN'ing back to 4.1.2 MA4, it says I have a 741MB update I can take....I'm sure that's this 4.3 update...Culpeper, VA here.

I did the same as marchusdavis but it resulted in a total disaster. After I downloaded the OTA update from AT&T I restarted my phone and it installed through CWM-Touch. At the end it asked if I wanted to ensure root was maintained and of course I said "yes" there (as well as through my SuperSU Pro Survival Mode). When it booted, my WiFi no longer works AND I lost root.
If anyway has any advice on how to get to a stock 4.3 from here please let me know!

Ugh, having trouble updating atm.
Goes up to 30%, then my phone reboots and says
"The update was interrupted" or something like that
On stock 4.1.2 rooted with stock recovery if anyone can help.

I don't believe so, as I am completely stock, bootloader and all. If you want to install other ROMs, you'd need to use a different method I believe. Likely downloading this update either via Kies or something else, and use ODIN to do everything. If you search around a bit on XDA, you'll probably find someone who has done it successfully and posted how. While I like custom ROMs, I have not had a need to use one yet on this device. However, if Samsung doesn't eventually give us Air Command, that might be enough to make me try it!

Is it possible to get the official update from the leak or do I have to downgrade to 4.1.2? I tried updating from the leak but it said it's the latest version.

Aren't those are re-packaged ROMs rather than being a complete 4.3 ROM similar to Rogers/Bell/Telus ROMs? To install, you have to Odin back to a stock rom or TW-based ROM.

AT&T did not release an official Odin tar for 4.1.2 or 4.3 it would be great if they did but they haven't and don't have any plans to do so.
Even without the tar files I think our developers have done a great job.

Agreed. The devs worked directly from the OTA. They never had the official firmware, as they all will tell you. You're not going to find it here or anywhere on the net.

So since you allege AT&T released official firmware for 4.1.2(some other way than OTA) obviously my search skills aren't what they should be. Can you provide a link to backup your allegations?
Whether or not we get updates has little to do with Samsung and more to do with the service provider, and it is the service provider whom determines if we get an official copy released.
My thought is that AT&T is attempting to discourage us from customizing our devices. Some people have no business customizing anything and that can cause them to attempt to return their device under warranty. When the owner was the cause of the device failure that costs the provider money...

Btw I want to apologize to the OP here is a link to some roms that are pre rooted they're very close to stock with only minor differences mostly in its capabilities and some are debloated. These will get you rooted for sure, remove knox and should do what you want. I like the one from loserskater. This link below works only on the AT&T SGH-I747.

There are two bootloaders that you can choose.One is MJ5 which is knox free and will not trigger knox nor void your warranty (but phone cannot be charged when turned off) v/s ND3 the latest Kitkat bootloader which will trigger knox void your warranty (phone can be charged when turned off).You need to flash either of the bootloaders to get wifi working.Another alternative to get wifi working on custom rom which i learned few weeks ago ,flash DN3 rom , then flash latest agni or nadia kernel for kitkat and you'll have wifi working.Custom kernels have some sort of wifi drivers which enables wifi to work properly.

Tq bro for u suggestion....

Actually all the current 4.4.2 custom roms are stable,it all comes down to what features you're looking for in them.Whether you want S5 look and features or want to stick to stock N2 rom look with some stuff tweaked.So it's hard to tell you "awesome stable" ROM.Try a few yourself like a week each and then see which suits you the best.
Regarding which bootloader like i said the pros and cons of the two bootloaders I myself upgraded to ND3 after being on MJ5 cause i don't care about warranty and sooner than later we all would have to upgrade to ND3 and i am not going to downgrade back to 4.1.2 (if you flash mj5 you can go back to 4.1.2 rom).So just take your pick,both bootloaders are fine.

Link to bootloaders? Is that you what need?
ND3 bootloader
mj5 bootloader
How to flash bootloader via odin
Note: You can flash mj5 then upgrade to nd3 if you like but you cannot upgrade to ND3 and then downgrade to MJ5.Bootloader downgrade is not possible only upgrade.Flash the bootloader after flashing the DN3 rom.

Where's my bootloader?
Yeah nooby, Where can i see what bootloader i have plz?

MK3 is newer than MJ5 and it is most likely a knoxed bootloader so you cannot go back to 4.1.2 you can only flash 4.3 and 4.4 ROM.Only reason to ugprade to ND3 is if you want to charge your phone by turning it off which is not possible on any 4.3 bootloaders. We might not see anymore updates from samsung when it comes to major android release from google cause google announced earlier this year that they will stop supporting phones after giving them upgrades to two android versions so our phone originally came with 4.1.1(mine came with 4.1.2 since i purchased it much later) then 4.3 and now 4.4.2 so the most we might get is 4.4.3 but that's only a bug fix update if any.So in my suggestion stick to MK3 bootloader and see how your phone performs especially wifi/bluetooth and if it's stable when you flash 4.4.2 ROM

Ah that sucks man! Thanks for the data bud, i'm Phantom rom 4.4.2. When i bought the phone it was 4.3 then i waited then used odin and put on cm 10.2 but the cam bug just made me get angry so i came off to phantom. I haven't had any problems with it and i was thinking of putting in the phantom ver 5, i'm waiting to see if anyone has had any probs with it.

Bootloader cannot be downgraded just so you know so once you flash ND3 you'll be on ND3 unless a newer bootloader after ND3 is out.

You can stay on it as long as you don't feel the need to charge your phone by turning it off or in worse situations your battery is 0% when you plug in your charger the phone will boot up and not go pass the splash screen cause the phone doesn't get charged during that period so you'd have to boot into recovery and charge your phone for sometime before turning it on and booting into the ROM but if you never let your phone battery die on you or dont care to turn off the phone to charge your phone stick to MK3 dont bother upgrading.
