so is being a couple of weeks since the MF3 OTA came out, I have a GS4 ATT, that keeps saying I’m up to date. (ACUAMDL).
don’t care much about being rooted I just want the update, I spoke with the ATT people about the MF3 and they just look at me like I was speaking Chinese. They said “ the most recent update is jelly bean” !?!? LOL
the Samsung people told me to do the update via KIES, and KIES keeps saying the same thing, “I’m up to date”
so where is the update ?! … why is so hard to get the updates? Where can I get the update?
Can someone shed some light on this matter please
coming from an iphone i guess there are many things i dont understand about android

Hi, my phone wants be to upgrade the firmeware and i was wondering if it has any negative side effects for a phone that is rooted. I remember last time when i upgraded it since my phone was rooted it caused all sorts of problems and i am wondering if the same thing happens now.
If you want the upgrade unroot the phone......... but what firmware upgrade is it ?
Its the long awaited OTA 2.2 a tmo rep told me it was rolling out this week, but with no hard evidence I didnt post it.
(_ Don't PM me. just send an email. [email protected] _)
Ya, i got invited to upgrade, but i am worried when i do it will screw up my cellphone since its unrooted.
Just unroot then..
Dont worry,just do it
Maybe a noob question but i'm helpless.
I bought a brand new S4 with contract here in Germany, branding- and simlockfree, european model.
The problem is that I'm unable to update for 4.3. The current version on my phone is 4.2.2 I9505XXUDMH5 DBT (open Germany), CSC I9505OXADMH5. I receive no OTA notifications. Kies says that I have the latest firmware. In conformity to sammobile I should receive 4.3 I9505XXUEMJ5.
It's my second s4, the first one was replace due to a minor functionality problem. With the first one I did receive the update, but not with this one.
What am I doing wrong? Any help apreciated. Thanks.
I don't think you are doing something wrong.
as you are german:
http://ukonio.de/samsung-galaxy-s3-...rollout-update-firmware-mobile-digital-42632/
rollout is stopped for s3 & s4
so either you root your device and flash 4.3 or you keep 4.2.2 which is not bad in my opinion.
and for the future it is always a good idea to google your device together with "update" or something and display only news or new pages.
cheers

I suggest that you just keep on trying to OTA update on a regular basis. Samsung spreads OTA updates for a queue so sometimes you have to wait some time.

Just stay on 4.2.2, I had no issue with it, 4,3 is annoying as I'm hounded everyday or security issues plus I didn't notice any improvements either, Wait for 4.4
thanks guys. i'll wait and see.
Alrighty then, I've been gone a good while, and now no longer know what I'm doing, which I know is dangerous.
I'd picked up an S4 for myself and my mother last Black Friday, and that same night, rooted both our phones. I also know that within a good week, an OTA update had been put out, but I'd blown it off, as I couldn't get it going and finishing up my bach and getting into grad school took over my life. That said, I recently got my father's line upgraded to an S4 (it was a dollar and he wanted it, so eh). It forced me to remember my own phone and it's horribly outdated self, and so I have returned.
As it stands now, I do not know what or how to go about getting this puppy up to speed, or even how to really explain where I'm at software wise, so I took a couple snapshots of the phone info, hoping I could get a hand with it.
Any help you guys could give would be appreciated.
Also, not sure if this means anything, but the System update it says I have downloaded will not install.
You have android 4.3 and the latest version is 4.4.2.
Upgrade to 4.4.2 for your phone and then you can flash the latest custom roms for android version 4.4.2 if you are out of warranty and do not wish to use knox.
Youre not outdated. Just a version behind. There are not many changes in 4.4.2 stock rom.
Thank me if I helped

Hey guys. First off, I'm new (this is my first post) so if I say/ do something wrong, please be considerate.
So I read somewhere that the new version of Android, Android L, might be coming out as early as December for the Samsung Galaxy S5. Earlier this year I got a Galaxy S5 and as it is my first Android, I wanted it to be the best it could. After a while I decided that it would be a good idea to root it, but as it is a Verizon model, it didn't look like I was going to be able to since the bootloader is locked. Luckily once towelroot came out I was able to root it, thankfully.
A month or two later, an OTA update came out, for Kitkat 4.4.3, and after several tries at installing it, I figured out the hard way that once you root your phone, OTA updates don't work anymore.
With all this being said, I'm a little concerned that I wont be able to get the next version of android on my phone. Even if it does come out in an OTA update, I know I wont be able to install it and since the bootloader is locked, I wont be able to flash it onto my phone.
Is there any hope that I'll be able to get Android L, or am I going to be stuck with Kitkat 4.4.2?

I don't know anything about L coming out but you can get all the updates you want. All the info you need is in threads here and in the general forum. You can always odin back to stock and take OTA updates. Or you can install which ever version you want via odin and then root from there.
Edit: In reading an article a while ago over @ techradar, I think we'll be seeing L sooner than you think. The thinking seems to go that when the Note 4 drops with L on it, Sammy will push it to their top tier phones right away after that...
The AT&T forum has been of no help to me. My wife has the regular S7 and she got her update over a week ago. My Edge is still saying its up to date on 6.0.1. Ive included my phone information below. It seems some people had issues updating because of one thing or another not updating properly from a previous update. Versions not matching and such.
Someone on the AT&T forum said that AT&T is rolling out the updates in batches of IMEI numbers. I just wanna figure out if they haven't issued the update for my IMEI yet, or if im not getting the update because of something wrong with my current version. This phone is stock. I haven't rooted or flashed anything on it yet..
I haven't got the update yet either. It's kinda making me mad. I did try to root my phone and was unsuccessful. So I factory reset my phone and still no update.
Flash the stock files in the ATT S7 guides and discussion thread
