1.. ATT does not tell me if or what update does. This forum is where to ask.
2. I searched 4 different threads that were not conclusive and said wait for developers to tell you.
3. I have only 9 posts and can only do this in certain forums. I am following rules..

Oh noes, another MDL update thread.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
You are running "UCUAMDB" firmware currently, aka "MDB" for shorthand. The current firmware that has been out for almost a month now is "MDL" firmware. The OTA update you are getting is for the update from almost a month ago which has since been deemed safe for Root and Recovery.
The links the others provided in the thread provide those answers. Just takes a bit more reading and understanding. Please read a bit more as the info is all there, or you will bound to run into more bashing like this.
Thank you for the help.

4.3 update appearing on 9505

Right I don't know if this is normal or not I have a 9505 running a Google play rom, and I've just received a notification that a system update has download and I can touch to update. I'm guessing this would brick my phone I just wondered if this was happening to anyone else.

4.3 update applied to rooted 4.2.2

Hey everyone, I had a question. I have a rooted s4 on 4.2.2 and I might upgrade to 4.3. If I were to do that would it just get rid of my root and update to 4.3 or will it wreck havoc on my device? Or should I not even update because its not worth it? Also are there any good root keeper apps that work? I heard that the su survival mode doesn't work so well.
Thank you. Much appreciated! Sorry for all the ?

I did take the time to read it and all I see in that thread is an old thread stating that the 4.3 update will he released Nov. 13 which was pulled, and now its the 30th. Also I kept reading (I even read the posts that didn't have anything to do with the thread) believe it or not, and couldn't find it, but its okay. I appreciate the help. Thx.

Why would you want to give up the ability to root and or have custom ROM? I must have missed the part on fascination with 4.3. But in the end the decision is yours good luck.

So there will never be a way to root ever again on 4.3?

Eventually. If I where on an unlocked bootloader like you, I'd stay put so I can load other roms. If you update to MF3, all you have is SafetyStrap and other 4.2.2 roms. Updates to MK2 and your tw 4.3, with root but no custom recovery, no unlocked bootloader and no way to downgrade.

Yeah I was definitely gonna stay 4.2.2 for a bit until a root method came out. Earlier I asked what the new baseband would be so I could keep checking Google for a root method.

Never is a long time, as someone else posted eventually one or more of the developers will find away to root and have custom recovery sit tight and wait for it, Once you take the MF3 update you can not go back. I'm on MDL and am enjoying running CM and what else is out their. It will come.

Whichever road you take do whole lots of reading and when you think you've read enough read some more and always do a backup. Long time ago I thought I had read enough and only to find had I read more I would have found that the method I was trying did not apply to my phone I had an Atrix 2 and the method was for the Atrix and Droid. I ended up with a paper weight. Good luck and take your time
