im currently rooted, how do i unroot 1st?

Have you tried downloading the update (from the links provided on this forum somewhere), putting it onto your SD card, booting to recovery, and applying the update? I did that and I was already rooted before hand (meaning I didn't have to unroot). Did you do any other changes to your OS aside from rooting, such as applying the GPS fix or any other kernels?

will i be able to install this manually like i did the leaked .3 version or will it mess up my phone
Engadget
I just read this on Engadget, I have to say I give HTC and Sprint a lot of credit for under promising and over delivering in my opinion. I absolutely love this phone and to know that both the carrier and the manufacturer are fully behind supporting the phone after launch is a great relief! I never hear of companies doing anything early or at least on time when it comes to software updates...I'm pleasantly surprised!

There is no direct firmware to flash. You have to Odin the NB1 tar first, then flash the NC1 update. There is more information in Post 5 here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51130818
Keep in mind, I do not have a sim unlocked phone, so I have no idea what effect, if any, Odin back to ATT stock will have on that aspect.

Nice link.
Did you look at the link I sent you? It has a link to the files you need. UCUFNC1 was only a small 20MB update. Probably why it's not showing up on your link.

Why do you want the update? Once you update Towelroot, Safestrap, etc most likely won't work anymore.
Mine will not update says installation has been interrupted any ideas
Like all of the updates so far, you likely will not be able to update if you have rooted or made any adjustments to the system folder/files. If you really want this update the best bet is to flash stock NC2 and then go from there. Personally I am going to hold off until root is achieved.

[Q] Help Obtaining Sprint SGS4 Stock Rom

Please xda brethren, I need some help. My niece purchased a sgs4, which was rooted for like $150. She was in need of a phone. Anyway, the damn thing has been permanently frozen after a week of use. So i figured maybe flashing it back to stock rom. I found the links to download the stock rom, but its taking forever to get it down. I've been at this since 9:30 THIS MORNING and it hasn't downloaded fully yet. the download keeps stopping. I have to be back at work in 6 1/2 hours and i haven't even slept yet. Can someone please out of the kindness of your heart provide me with the latest stock rom for the sgs4. I'm dying over here for sleep. :crying::crying::crying::crying:

No need to look for an old file like this. He's the latest stock to run through Odin, it should get get all fixed up and unrooted.

Just got an OTA on Verizon (10 July).

Anyone install yet? I'm not about to take it unless it has some major improvements.

I would advise against it, if you want root, and possible bootloader unlock. It may not cause any issues, but why risk it?
Did you get the one that bumped you up to 11A yet? And how big does it say the file is?
I got an update on sprint that I'm passing up on myself until I see more about it

What version are you on now? If you are on 11A and getting an update, it is a new one.
I know it could be meaningless because they could be pushing it out in waves, but I am on 11A and an update check shows there is nothing out there.
Got the update last night.never took it though..my build #right now on sprint is lmy47d....guys do NOT update until root has been pushed out to us..could be nothing but then again why chance it...

Could someone please explain to me what being on 11A means? I don't recall if this is the update that disabled downgrading or not, if so that sucks.
EDIT: Apparently it is, well my excitement & anticipation been shot down quite a bit. -.-, sad really because I purchased this phone July 1st, shouldn't have this update on it...especially from eBay, shame.
that uppdate has been talk about many of times on that thread below un less this is a new OTA update wish i am not seeing yet if its 11A then this fourm needs too be moved if its a new updates then please yet us no about the new update version # some one is really late too the party if its 11A has its been talk about in the thread be low
