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.

If you use the forums search function you will find many instances where people ran across the same thing for many different reasons. You will need to check (based on what you will find) and see which reason is causing your problem with ADB. It could be anything from a driver issue to out-of-date SDK tools and many other reasons so there is no way to know until you check and trouble shoot.
the de-odex thread talks about at&t. will this work on other carriers?
Rogers in particular?

Link for loki'd deathstar rom

Does anyone have a link to download a loki version of the deathstar rom? Also do you know if it requires gapps and which one?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
There isnt one... i believe if its a tmobile s4 rom you can flash as long as you flash a loki'd kernel after. Dont quote me but ive read around the forums that this method works. As far as gapps, not sure as i haven't used this rom before. Check the original thread for installation instructions.

TW roms do NOT require gapps.

you can use shabby penguins recovery and flash it without having to flash a loki kernel right after because his recovery will patch it for you on reboot. Have fun!!

Its in the t mobile forum. If you have twrp, flash an i337 kernel right after or use the auto loki cwm and you don't need to flash the kernels after.

Literally the first post on original development section. SEARCH does not always mean search with the tools, look at the first page or two of the sections.

I would be interested hearing from somebody that is running deathstar rom on their i337, what loki kernel they used, and how the rom is running. I haven't found anything yet on this in any of the att forums.

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.

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
