Hello, so I never took the OTA update to Kit Kat. I just stayed on 4.3 and flashed a Kit Kat Rom. My sig says what I'm running right now. My question is.....can I just update my bootloader somehow from MJB to the new one so I can get the latest modem? I dont want to have to go back to stock and get the ota and then reflash my rom and all that stuff. Or do I have to do that?
Oh and if I have to go back to stock to get the new bootloader and modem....will this suffice? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
Just follow enewman17's thread on how to update. Its in the General section. And yes you have to go back to stock 4 3.
My warranty bit is 1. Will that be an issue?

Nope. Doesnt affect OTA's in my experience.
Lol you answered my question on both threads....hah thank you sir!

So i rooted my phone a few months back but im still stock, im on 4.0.4 and because if been rooted, i've skipped two updates. What can i do to make the update go through? i still wanna be stock but i know this update jellybean, which i want.
I've read having root blocks the update. There's a rooted version of the stock update in the dev section you can install.

So what's it called, I've been away from the scene for a long while.
All you need to do is download kies and under one of the menus is an option to emergency stock recovery this will take you to both the latest version and restore your phone to completely stock

I'm rooted with a custom recovery running M919UVUAMDB.
So if i get it right. Only way to upgrade is to
Odin to stock.
Upgrade and break root.
Root with upgrade.
Re Flash upgraded stock.
Pretty much. Or you can use Skies to do recovery to the lastest firmware, then root again.

Been searching for last hour or two and this is only thread I've found this specific topic. Just got S4 today coming from a GNex so somethings are new to me.
Is there a detailed instructions somewhere on how to do this?
I'm also rooted on M919UVUAMDB and trying to figure out the best way to upgrade to MDL so that I can re-root again.
Install Kies. Under Tools setting, select recovery and put your phone to download mode. Let Kies do the rest.

Thanks for clarifying. Just to double check, would cwm recovery affect the kies firmware recovery process?
No. Kies would wipe it off during recovery process and install the latest firmware.

lol I've searched around too, but made my own conclusions. ahha
Not attempting to promote any particular roms but Wicked v2 is running mdl update with the mdb modem and radio and smoother than silk on s4, Revolt requires manualy updating with setuidremoval but has a great writeup how to do so as does Infamous S4, I personally can confirm Revolt and Wicked are working flawless as long as the minimal theming currently in both is fine with you.

I currently have the T-Mobile version with the 4.1.1 stock rom with a modified framework and root but stock recovery as well.
The phone don't seem to find the update available to get 4.1.2
What would be the best way to upgrade to the newer version?
Where can I get a backup of the recovery for that newer version.
Firmware thread stickied in development. Link in my sig.

Just flash the new root66 file then I assume?
If I recall correctly that should update and not lose data right?
Thank you
Correct. But still back up your stuff. Things do happen sometimes.

Very true.
Thank you for the advice.
The build is MH2, and currently the bootloader is locked on my SCH-I925, so I'm trying to see if there is a way to re-enable the phone app that Verizon disabled... is there another stock rom I can flash, or something?

I'm trying to find the same thing since my I925 is softbricked and in a bootloop. All I can do is put it in download mode. Do you by any chance know how to put it back to stock?
Yes, you need the stock firmware. But FYI: that's the note 10.1 2012... I was sold that thinking it was new one. I took it back. Just flash the stock firmware via odin. Let me see if I have it... But you can prolly find it in the forum...

I need to get back to 4.1.2, unrooted, and I'm on 4.3 skynote vanilla. What are all the steps I'll need to take to get there?

You can Odin back to stock 4.1.2...[emoji106]
Or you can download the firmware you need from Sammobile.com/firmwares for you particular device...
There a few threads that you can also do it they the OTA update...

If you have the official 4.3 bootloader....then the device will never be completely stock...
But if the knox free leaked loader was used then a full downgrade including the bootloader is possible...
Happy flashing...g
