Updating will devalue your phone when you sell it in the future because people that want to buy the phone from this forum won't care for the phone after you update it. Why do you want a crippled phone?

i dont care. not rooting again.
There's a thread on how to update from MDL to MF9. Idk where though, sorry, you'll have to search. You could also just do what you did but with MF9 instead of the MDL.
MF9? You mean MF3...

Im using stock galaxy s3 rom, too. with root. and i was able to update via Samsung Kies without any problems. then rooted again. Don't know if it will be different for JB tho. but i guess it will be the same.

but you reverted to a stock kernel or kies updated also with rooted one?
Root = no or failed OTA update .
But should update via Kies .
Root is lost .

It will flash with root OTA or through Kies. At least it does for me.

I updated my rooted stock rom via kies without any problems. But not JB of course. Some other ICS update some weeks ago. It worked without problems, i just had to re-root again.

If your system status indicates "modified" you can't do OTA, just via kies. you may have this status, as do I, after flashing via Odin, and even after using triangle away.

Really? The status shows modified even after using triangle away? Then we wouldn't get repair in case of trouble right?

I just Kies-updated my SGS3 international to JB after being rooted running stock ICS 4.0.4. Now it runs 4.1.1 but is no longer rooted. OTA did not report ugrade available. At least it did not yet before Kies did its job.
So here is a sample that a rooted ICS can be upgraded just like you did with the same side effects.
In my notifications there is a new system update that it wants me to download that I can't get rid of. I am rooted using the motochopper method and was wondering if I can accept this ota? Will it brick my phone? Will it unroot me? Not a big deal to me if it unroots, just need to know what will happen
I guess u wont be able to update since u have already rooted that makes a device custom only official device software firmware can be updated
U can give it a try

You can update via the Kies software, but you'll need to re-root after
Hi all,
my S4 is currently running stock 4.2.2 MG1 rooted and both the phone and Kies refuse to tell me if there is an upgrade available.
In the past Kies would let me get the OTA but I guess Samsung made some change.
So is there an update available (4.3) for Canadian (I337) S4 and how can I install it ?
Is root available yet ?
Thank you.

??? If your phone is rooted you do know your NOT suppose to accept OTA or you will ruin phone.
There are plenty of custom 4.3 rooms out there.

You just loose root access , thats it.

I found the required file from this forum which was redirected to another download site as shown below
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407566574
Do you I use the following instructiuon that is found in this forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2621279
1.POWER OFF YOUR PHONE AND GO TO DOWNLOAD/ODIN MODE ( VOLDOWN+HOME+POWER)
2.DOWNLOAD ODIN (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2537619&d=1390629800) AND MAKE SURE U HAVE THE LATEST DRIVER INSTALL FROM SAMSUNG KIES
3.DOWNLOAD AND EXTRACT I337MK2_Combined_Odin_Tar FILES
4.START ODIN AND FOLLOW IN ORDER WHERE EACH FILE SHOULD GO INTO ODIN SLOT....
I need confirmation if the above instruction is correct to get the latest update for Samsung Galaxy S4 AT&T i337 model?
You're currently on mdl firmware. This firmware allows you to put on a custom recovery and flash roms. Are you sure you want to update? You will no longer have the ability to put on a custom recovery.

Well not interested in custom recovery as long as I get the latest update that looks like offical Samsung Galaxy S4 updates for i337 model. Will I be getting latest update for future updates?

Yes to all your question.....i337MK2 tar md5 contain 4 seperated files ( first released ) follow the image guide where u have to place into ODIN SLOT ....the one that said combined ALL IN ONE ( newest released ) mean that u just flash into PDA ODIN SLOT ONLY.....just follow that guide on second post it would get u to latest ATT MK2 4.3 firmware. But like @jd1639 said with MDL firmware u can install anything even 4.4.2 rom and also there is alot of custom stock rom without ATT bloatware out there that u can install .....goodluck and PM me if u need more help. FYI if u got helped by someone please hit THANK button to show your appreciation ....:good::good:
I'll update my S4 to the latest update and you can send me yours. I'd kill for mdl firmware...

That is my another question regarding ATT bloatware? Will the combined TAR file contain the ATT bloatware?
Is there a way I can remove the ATT bloatware after I have upgraded the phone, as I find the ATT bloatware annoying

Yes it contains all the bloatware, another reason not to upgrade and flash custom roms.
Edit, it has not been mentioned yet but one you upgrade you can not go back to a previous firmware.
When I upgrade to MK2, does this mean I will need to perform factory reset and all my existing app will be gone or will the app remain on the phone even after the upgrade.
I will do the backup before the upgrade but at the moment when I connect the Phone to the PC, it would mot pick up so maybe I will need the latest software driver, is that correct? I have the same problem with Kies which does not recognise when phone is connected.
Any suggestion would be great.

Not always, most times a factory reset is needed to clear the phone of old apps and data. Root, is lost, but apps that require root can still be present which can become a problem when root is no longer available.

Why doesn't your friend flash a custom rom instead
He wants a stock touchwiz ROM. If their is a custom ROM based on the latest firmware then by all means direct me to it and I'll flash that for him. Thanks.

He's on mdl which allows a custom recovery and easy flashing of roms. If he upgrades to mk2, the latest, he'll lose that ability. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47713264
Right, we have a custom recovery and an unlocked boot loader and I flashed an older build of that Google edition ROM, but he just really wants the ability to move his apps2sd. I didn't see a mention of the apps2sd feature in the change logs. Thanks for replying so quickly.

hello, i want to ask, why did my S4 when i try to OTA update it,, it always showing that i have already installed the latest update,
while when i plugged it and open the KIES it shows MK8 update available.
but i cant download if it was from KIES or ODIN, cause of the firmware size and my monthly limits.
it happens when im trying to update to the 4.3 from 4.2.2 as well, i have to bring my s4 to the service center.. but they installed the DXUEMJ5 not the MK8 (latest version) anyone can help?
i've never rooted my s4 or install any custom rom and my device status is official
Did you disabled any apps
