I have an AT&T Galaxy S4 (i337 unlocked) that i am using with T-Mobile. My firmware is I337UCUAMDB_I337ATTAMDB_ATT. i realized that it is DB, not DL. When i try to check for updates, it get an error "Software Update Interrupted" i know this is going to happen since it is checking my sim. I have a T- Mobile sim. is there any way to receive updates without an AT&T sim card. I have one, but it hasn't been activated. is there any workaround to this?
I will be also posting this in the T-Mobile forums
I'm thinking if u pop in your ATT Sim and use WiFi it should do its thing.also thinking if u r rooted and push for the OTA update u might not like loosing root.the newest update to my knowledge is MF3 and that means no root exploit. If your rooted try the MF3 roms .

The bootloader unlock has been released. If you are having trouble getting the amdl update from the phone, you can download it and flash it through Odin. Look for Adams thread over in development. You can still root and bootloader unlock from amdl.

I was wondering if Im able to receive OTA updates even if I'm not living in US.
My phone model is i337m so its not the international version.
The carrier is AT&T
Anyone knows?
Of course my phone is SIM Unlocked and I'm not using AT&T
Thanks

AT&T has the i337, not the i337M (which is usually the Canadian variant). I believe the update server authenticates the SIM though. Not sure.
Yes, you're right sorry
SGH-I337
I think the same, but I cant test because I rooted my phone.
I'm only asking this because they gonna release the new android next month.
Thanks

You can always download the OTA file when it's released, put it in the phone's internal memory and name it "update.zip". After that you can go to [stock] recovery by turning on the phone while holding only the volume-up key and choose "Apply update.zip"

But when I try to update OTA it always says that "there ir no upadate avaliable" and I'm not sure if this message apears because Im not in the US and using AT&T Sim Card or because my phone is rooted.
I updated to UCUAMDL via Kies but back then I wasnt root yet.
Is there another way to download the update.zip? Like a web site?

Well, if you're on an official, but rooted (stock) ROM, then the phone should still be able to check. Root itself doesn't make a difference in whether or not an OTA appears, but a custom ROM might have purposely broken the internal URL to check for OTAs in order to prevent them.
Just so you know, the AT&T Galaxy S4 has a locked bootloader. If you take an OTA, you'll lose root and you won't be able to do anything (no custom ROMs, root apps, or custom recovery) until an exploit is found. That's what's going on right now with people on the MF3 update. Currently they found a way to have root, but that's all.
You're better off downloading a stock, rooted ROM from here and flashing that when a new OTA comes out. They're usually posted quickly afterwards.

Well I'm using stock rom. So I guess this answers my question, either I'm not in the US or not using att sim card i can't update through OTA.
Thanks for your help bro. :good:
I have a rooted and unlocked I337 from AT&T which I am now running in Canada on the Rogers network.
I haven't received the 4.3 update from either AT&T or Rogers, and nothing seems to be available through Kies either. I'm assuming I am supposed to get it through AT&T, but that it would only work with an AT&T SIM card in the US. Is that correct?
Anyway to get the update?

I am pretty sure you won't get the update from Rogers as your only using their sim rom would not be compatible with your phone.. I337... Rogers is I337M.... I also don't think you will get it from AT&T because your rooted..... Just a guess but if you just want to get to 4.3, I would think you need to use an AT&T rom which you can find in the general thread to flash using Odin, but I would do a lot more reading and asking questions before you dive in the deep end....

Thanks. Can't flash using Odin AFAIK, as I am on MF3 baseband.
But what you're saying is that if I wasn't rooted, I would likely get the AT&T update, even though I am not currently on their network?

I'm pretty confident you need to be on the AT&T network to get the OTA. You can use the MK2 ODIN files just fine, locked bootloaders don't prevent that.

Hello i am new to this forum and i have a question that i asked around and can not get an answer to it.
Whenever i try to update my LG G2 (ATT) i keep getting a phone not registered error. I hooked it up with the LG software in hopes of updating it, but it says that i have my software is up to date, but i only have the D80010d. So the software recognizes my phone as being valid but it doesnt seem to get an update. I tried doing a factory reset but that didn't work. I did register my phone to the LG website, but that didnt solve anything? Any ideas?
Sidenote - I know that ATT has a service center near my area where they can possibly fix it for me, but i want to avoid doing that if i can. Also, I bought the phone through best buy if that helps in any shape or form. I did talk to LG and they said to talk to ATT, but ATT said to talk to LG. My last hope is just to do CM11 on this phone when there is a stable build out haha.

Even I have the same problem
M facing the same issue.. Did u get any solution for this..?
Get a new sim and try again. I talked to ATT rep and it said its mostly likely a sim card error. If you have a family member also on ATT try using their SIM and it should work. I used my mothers sim and it worked out. If it doesnt, go to ATT and get a new one. If you get updates working you can ask ATT to push updates to you VIA live chat.

I had that exact same issue. Leaving the new sim into the phone go to ATT live chat and ask them to push the updates to you. Just tell them that your phone is on the D80010o update and you would like to update to the D80010q and D80020c (KitKat) right after. It took me about 2 hours total because KitKat was a huge update. Try to keep the phone connected to a charger.
Quick link to the live chat. Just select technical support.

Upgraded to Kitkat...
Hey Rokanaske,
followed ur steps... and just now got upgraded to kitkat... Thanks a ton...
Just as an update to this thread.
If your IMEI number is showing as one ZERO and you can't get any OTA updates because of this. I have the solution. If you know your IMEI, even if you don't you shuold be able to get it from your AT&T account. Anyway, check out this thread. It's a neat program where you can type in your IMEI manually then write it to your device. Worked wonders for my LG G2 D800.
I just got a tmobile note 4 and Im unlocking it for att service. I have already rooted the device, the question is do I flash att roms since im using att service or do I flash tmobile roms and input att apn?

Flash Tmobile. Att has a locked bootloader, and I don't know if flashing an att rom would install said bootloader. If it does, then you won't be able to root and you'll never be allowed to flash anything other than att roms.
Better to be safe IMO
