Simple Ans Is No.. if U downloaded Update u can't install it/update failure ......
May B Some Stock Based Custom Rom ...Software update Work ....But Most Of Custom ROM Update Not Working.......
Software updates also doesn't work if ur stock or any rom is rooted
As sir ^ said it will download but while updating it will stuck around 28% and phone will reboot with message "update via kies"

Software updates works fine in rooted stock roms.i had tried it 3 times.
Dont do it with custom roms or deodexed stock roms.
I also tried to update frome settings but after download it error and say to update via kies. So i also think it is not available in custom or any rooted rom.

Are you rooted? The update should be in your /cache folder, you can move it to the sd storage and flash from recovery. You'll probably also need superuser 1.51 zip to flash after flashing the update as you will lose root.

There's a few threads about as people have been receiving/flashing it. It seems to be a security update, the update is under 2mb.

Yes updated last night, seen a few people having issues so was holding off, but it was pretty straight forward. I ended up downloading the grouper.zip (ota) update from the thread above and the superuser 1.5.1 zip. Fully unroofed from the superuser app then flashed the grouper.zip and superuser zip in recovery.

will it work for me cause i dont wanna lose all data ( only 4gigs free
thank u all for helping
I also had to use the Grouper.zip to take the update. That zip comments out a line in the install script that performed a verification check that many people had fail. The released ota update continually failed for me. I never unrooted first, just flashed grouper.zip in TWRP recovery. After booting back up, I went back into TWRP and flashed the Supersu1.51 zip and got root back. No data loss. This is on a wifi, stock rom & kernel, rooted and TWRP recovery. Now on JWR66Y and happy.

I believe this update was to address the bitcoin exploit found in Android and that was promised to be addressed soon.

Thats exactly what I used, although I didn't have any modifications, so unfortunately I am unable to say whether there would be any problems or not.

If you dont have Custom Recovery (CWM/TWRP) then you can simply download and instal the update zip package through stock recovery. If you can't download because of modified system settings then use TA to make it official
Do u mean Triangle away? If yes then that also does not help. It downloads the file but fails to update. Any work around on this?

Can v flash stock recovery through cwm recovery?
Sent from my GT-I9082 using Tapatalk
Yup, I mean Triangle Away. The update shall be downloaded but the update zip can only be flashed through stock recovery. AFAIK entering into CWM immediately modifies your system settings to Custom and update zip wont load on a modified system. I am not sure whether you can flash stock recovery through CWM.
Hmmm... I went back to stock to get the updates.

If u rooted ur phone u wont gona be able to INSTALL updates via OTA coz it changes ur system to CUSTOM. You can download them but NO install them. The unique way is flashing this file downloaded for STOCK RECOVERY :highfive:
Now wanam show status to official. There are many tweaks in this app. Changing color of clock etc. What if delete this app, my status remains to official or change back to custom.

Once you rooted the phone : you have both warranty and official support (OTA) out of the door and you can't do anything to get it back .. unless you buy another S4. Just kidding though, now you'll have to do everything manually. Juste take a look at all the available roms and install the one you like

If you really want to have stock rom instead of gennxt rom, you can initialize your firmware using kies. I did it. Previous it was not possible but now yiu can do so as G7 is available through kies. This lrocess will also unroot your device.
ok thanks Bro… I am trying… .
