I just got my Note 3 and the first thing I did was root it. The problem is that I forgot to perform a software update. Now when I try to update the software, I get the message that I can't update because my phone is modified. Is there a way to download and manually install the latest software update?
This should be in Q&A....mods will either delete it or move it for you.
To answer you...depending on your region the stock firmware may or may not be available for you to odin back to stock.

use triangle away to restore official status. Then update and reroot (from what i heared, ony the international N3 had a firmware update) Usually, if there was one for you, as soon as you would have connected to the internet it would have told you, unless you rooted without first connecting the phone to the internet

You can use kies to restore your phone back to stock. It will change your phone back to original status, without root. However there's nothing you can do on your knox warranty.

Moved here as this does not belong in the Development Section.....
Thanks, guys. The phone is great the way it is, and I refuse to give up root if I can help it. I have faith in the devs here to overcome all issues!!

Just wondering if anyone has figured out how to root the S4 without tripping the flash counter? I know that thier is trianlge away but that still doesnt let you use the allshare cast dongle.
Wrong section. And non that I know of.

Are you sure. Did you click the box to disable root for a few minutes on boot in triangle away, so it has Official Device Status?

I just picked up an s4 from att today. Ive been playing with it for about an hour and I definitely want to root the phone and remove all of the bloatware. Ive read online that there is no way to fully remove all traces of rooting this phone when needed for warranty reasons. Ive also read that att will still honor the warranty even if the phone is rooted. Does anyone have any info on this? Im experiencing a little lag here and there with the phone and am honestly not as jazzed about it as I thought I would be. If I root the phone will I still be able to switch for another phone if I choose to within 14 days and will att honor my warranty if I keep the phone and something goes wrong with it? Im in the US.
Well I had the s4 from release day,and have both root and a custom ROM.a couple weeks ago my WiFi decided it didn't wanna live no more so I flashed stock ROM through Odin and WiFi was still not working so I took my phone into the warranty center he flashed stock ROM again and it still didn't work so he just swapped it out for a new phone right there....
Long story short just unroot and flash stock ROM and you should be good to go

That can only be done if the phone hasn't been updated to mf3. There is no flashable firmware for that one.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4
Yes forgot to mention that .also for anybody with mf3 firmware try to get a warranty exchange if you don't mind getting back a refurbished device and there's a possibility you will get a non mf3 phone

I asked ATT customer service if rooting voided the warranty. I was told rooting does not void the warranty unless rooting caused the damage. The example the rep gave me was: If you root and phone overheats as a result of rooting, then they wouldn't cover that.

Thanks for all of the replies! They're very helpful. How can I tell if my s4 has the mf3 firmware and what exactly is the difference between mf3 and the other?
Just wanted to add that the last three digits for my baseband are mdl so im assuming I dont have the mf3 software as of yet. I have a software update available. Should I update or just root the phone as it is now?

Do not update, root and rename the files associated with updating.

If you want to be able to root AND flash ROMs, do not update to MF3. There is no method for loading a custom recovery for phones that have updated to MF3.
There is a thread in the General section about rooting an MF3 phone, but at this point you won't be able to flash a ROM.

Use Odin to update the firmware. It will wipe the device so make sure you backup everything first. But you are on 4.2.2 so you can really flash roms. With the newer firmware you won't be able to if that's important to you

I like the camera options that samsung has on her firmware thash why I want to update this one but I dont know if it is better to have a custom rom.
I had a rooted S3 SGH-I747 with Android 4.1.2. I sold it, and now I have a S4 SGH-i337 with Android 4.3.
I just want to root the phone, I am not interested in putting a custom ROM on it -- though maybe in the future.
Should I leave it at 4.3, or is it recommended to put a version of KitKat on it and then proceed to root it?
I did a quick software update check from the phone, but it said there were no updates. Does that mean I'm stuck at 4.3?
Thanks
Mike
I'd update to the nb1 rootable tar file via odin. Then use towelroot to root. The nb1 tar file can be found in the general forum

So the S4 at 4.3 is not rootable, unless I use the nb1 rootable tar file to make it rootable, is that correct assumption?
Apparently I need to read more on the subject. I was hoping it would be as easy as it was on my S3. I guess the difference is that the S3 was rootable, while the S4 requires additional work to make it rootable. Of course correct me if i'm wrong, as I'm probably still not getting it.
Thanks

Thanks for the link, it has helped tremendously!
Quick question, is the SIM card required during any of the flashing/rooting process? I didn't want to transfer my SIM from my working phone until I had my new replacement flashed and ready to go.
Thanks again

Can I reflash the same firmware over itself? I flashed my phone using the i337 nb1 rootable tar file you linked me to.
I ran into a problem, long story, it's in another thread I started.
Anyhow, everything was working and had it successfully rooted and my apps reinstalled. Now I'm locked out thanks to a glitch in a app called Unlock with WiFi. I have entered the wrong password 35 times and it still will not ask me if I want to reset/wipe the phone. Isn't it suppose to ask you after so many attempts?
The problem is I set a one letter password in the app, I mean it is convenient and the app allowed me too. Also it worked fine on my S3.
I did the same for the S4, but apparently with this firmware version, the lock screen doesn't like one letter passwords. If I type less than four characters and press enter, it erases what I typed. So it makes it impossible to enter my one letter password. If I type four characters or more, followed by return, I get Wrong Password.
At this point I give up, I just want to start over. I sent an email to the developer yesterday morning, but he has not responded.
Thanks again
Mike

If you are not a Verizon subscriber...you can't get any of Verizon's updates over the air....wifi or otherwise. You can get them at www.sammobile.com once you become a member (it's free to be a member].

you have an account with verizon right?
No i dont have a verizon account i bought the phone from third hand...
But with the OB6 manage to use the method of the 2 tar files to flash and succesfully came with everything, the problem is the next one, on the boot first screen says CUSTOM with the unlock lock draw or symbol, but i cant find the superuser app anywhere....
No when I reboot the phone, takes to long and says system something then I say ok and shutsdown, the only way to enter to android is recovery and delete cache...
Any way to fix this, and altought it says iu was installing the app, i cant find it, should I install the SUPERUSER app?
