I had an Active and remember seeing this. option in the settings (to move apps to sd), but I traded it in for a regular s4 and this phone doesn't have that option. If I check for a software update via att it says I'm up to date, how can I tell for sure though? I did try searching both xda and the web but I didn't have much luck, so please go easy on me, thank you....

From what I know, we haven't had that update yet. The active and international devices have it. I think there are options with rooting and roms.

Thank you, I'm using folder mount so it's not a big deal, I just always want to have the latest firmware. When the update does come out, will I be able to update over the air even if I'm rooted (by using OTA rootkeeper), or will I have to flash the firmware via Odin and restore everything? Thanks!

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 It could be anything from a driver issue to out-of-date SDK tools and many other reasons so there is no way to know until you check and trouble shoot.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?

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.

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

You didn't say what firmware you are on, but you might want to try KIES3 instead of the regular KIES.

Take the device out of developer/debug mode if you want to use kies or kies3.
I think i tried that and it didn't work, has anyone with ATT s4 able to connect with kies?

I can't get kies to work either, we're both in the same boat. There is no real reason to use kies though. They don't have the firmware for you to update or anything so your better off not using kies.

I talked to ATT support and they said that being my update fails all the time that the firmware is ON kies and to update that way.

Are you happened to be rooted or have disabled any apps? At every single boot the system scans for these things, though I don't think it would prevent you from getting an update, just give it a Lil more time.

You get the custom only if you have made modifications to the system partition and that can happen only if you are rooted
Well I did have to send it in for a repair and the guy rooted it. I ended up removing the root via the superuser app option.
