4.3 update questions... - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hey everyone I have a few questions hopefully that can be answered. I took my phone to bestbuy today because I jacked up my recovery and it disappeared so they fixed that and now my root is gone which is what I wanted to happen because of the 4.3 update. If my phone is still rooted somehow will the update jack up my phone? Or will it just get rid of the root and make it like everyone else's phone? Second question. When I try and look for updates by hitting the update button in settings it won't let me do so. I remember freezing DM manager with titanium and I don't know why it would still be frozen because my phone got flashed back to stock. Does anyone else have this problem? Or is it just me... :/ I have a feeling its just me. Hopefully not and its just a common prob. If anyone can help me out I would appreciate it. Thank you!

you took it to best buy. to restore it to stock. it is stock, not rooted. The update button is for updates from samsung, you just got restored to the latest update. there is no updates available.
Is titanium backup still installed?

I uninstalled it cuz there was no need for it anymore. I don't have root access anymore but It is just odd that the Software Update button worked before and I was able to at least connect to at&t to check for an update and now it won't. I was wondering if there is a possibility that something glitched and at&t DM server is still frozen.

look in about phone>Device Status, does it say 'modifed' or 'normal'?'

Sorry for the late reply... it says Samsung so I'm assuming normal.

What version were you on before? I'm on the leaked version and wondering if Best Buy could flash the new update.

com.sec.app.MIPErrorNotifier running after restart

Another odd thing I am seeing since the new update, is every time I reboot, if I go into the task manager to see all my open applications... After about a minute or so, I notice there is an app in there that says MIPerroractivity, when I click app info it says it is an app called com.sec.app.MIPErrorNotifier. Why is this automatically open like an app in my task manager when I reboot? Any ody else seeing this?

Thanks for the reply. Was hoping it wasn't just me. Perhaps someone with more insight could shed some light on this.

Same here. Not sure what this is, and if I should just freeze it using Titanium backup. Searched google and the first hit was this post
One of the subsequent posts indicates that this app existed on the S3 late last year too - http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...ng-galaxy-s3-sprint-version-stock-rooted.html
Same here! I'm wondering if we rename it to .bak at the end if that will affect anything... anyone willing to test that lol?

QUESTION: Is everyone here running the latest KT Kernel. Bc when I reverted back to the MF9 kernel, I didn't get that anymore...
I am bone stock, haven't even rooted it yet. First time I haven't rooted a phone right out of the gate.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Same here just updated this morning. Bone stock and not rooted. Shows up after every reboot.
I did the update myself not via ota. Did everyone else here do it that way? Or did you receive the update via ota?
Maybe its somehow related to the way sprint is rolling out the update?

Happy I found this thread! Thought it was only me. I flashed the MF9 zip, and I'm using KT kernel.
The thing running doesn't really bother me, I'd just like to know what it's for. I kill it every time I reboot anyway

Should I have? I used Odin to get to stock MDL, then flashed the MF9 zip in recovery. Nothing else. Why would I need to flash the modem if the modem is in the OTA?

Did the same thing.
I also get this PITA notice.
Only thing I have been able to find so far is it appears to have something to do with "Mobile IP ERRor".
I will not claim to know what this means.
I have noticed that I have no cell service while roaming at home anymore.
Hopefully, this is because I am slightly (1/4 mile) outside of the official roaming service area.
I am hoping I can reset the phone profile once I get back into Sprint's network later today.
I am also not sure if this is related to MY upgrading to MF9 using the manual ZIP from SD card method and not waiting for the official OTA update.
I already posted that I did the ota stock non rooted and it appears for me.

After a bit of review
Ok, so I've been doing a little testing this AM to see if I could get to the bottom of this error.
After rebooting, locking and unlocking a ton of times I've decided its related to wifi connecting on the initial boot.
After a while I started noticing a pattern in relation to the toast message that pops up when it initially connects to wifi and the error showing up.
To confirm my theory, I removed the local wifi at my office, and on reboot, no error.
I have zero clue on how to fix the issue, but just wanted to point any devs looking into this in the right direction.
Additional notes, I'm stock, not rooted, and updated via the sdcard method.

I believe you are absolutely correct in your assumption. I can replicate this as you say. Also, I am completely stock, unrooted and gained the update via OTA.
I did crawrj mf9 update for rooted mf9 and not haveing the issues only had to clear my google account (data) check out his thread maybe there that ll help yall

Possible to disable android os autoupdate?

Might be an answered question. Was just wondering if there's anyway to disable the autoupdate. I like my S4 the way it is right now and don't want any chance that it might autoupdate to android 4.3 which can mess up rooting etc even though i have rootkeeper. At least til issues with new android ver are all clear. So anyway to disable this auto os update? thnx..
Your rooted that's enough to disable I believe cus it wont update if modified. .I might be wrong

Rooted my nexus 10 and that didn't prevent it from dnlding the update. At least it has the decency not to go ahead w installing the downloaded update. Now I hv this constant notification on the status bar to install it. Don't want this to happen also to S4
4.3 is at least 1-2 months away so I doubt you need to do this. And got a blunt is mostly right. Being rooted will not allow the installation to happen. It will download the update and tell you have a system update but it won't install on its own.

So any danger of me inadvertently clicking on the update notification and update happens and wiping out my settings? or rooting won't let it updated at all and to update you have to go back to stock first?

The only way of being able to update its just having a rooted phone with no mods in someway and also having stock recovery, if you are rooted with a custom rom or mods and have a different recovery then yes if you click the update accidently then you wont have no problem what so ever its just going to abort.

On my rooted S4 (CF-auto-root), I also have TWRP recovery installed. So this would qualify then as a different recovery? Additionally i also got MF9HotspotMod-Odexed and international SIM unlock on there. So i am guessing all this should be enough to prevent any update?
OTAs won't flash in custom recoveries. If you for some reason hit install update it would boot into recovery and try to install but fail.

Am I forever stuck on MJ9?

Hey everyone,
Here's my situation. I updated my unrooted phone to AT&T's 4.3 update as soon as it became available. But as many of you know, the update was quite buggy. Which is why they postponed it and then later released MK2.
Well me, being my impatient self, rooted my phone while running MJ9 and manually removed a lot of AT&T blotware using titanium backup.
My question is, am I forever stuck with running MJ9? I know safestrap isn't available for 4.3 and from what I've read it doesn't look possible. I wouldn't mind unrooting, installing the new update, and then rooting again. But because of all the apps I've deleted I doubt it will let me.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!

Follow this guide by gtj0 flash the emergency mf3 files and it'll give you back the apps you deleted. Follow everything step by step and after you get back onto mj9 sideload mk2 than you'll have mk2.

Successful 4.4 Update?

My AT&T LG G2 is rooted and has the stock recovery and stock ROM and I don't have Xposed installed. I'm curious if anybody else with the same setup has updated to 4.4 successfully with no brick. Thanks in advance for sharing.
My phone gives me "phone suspected in rooting, update not available for rooted devices" I'm also rooted on stock recovery and rom

No It will NOT WORK. I just Flashed back to stock (Flashing Tool.. I know its a Pain and loose all your data) , Chat with AT&T to push 10q and KITKAT (if youre lucky, and if you Don't need root for time being and can wait for someone to make Kitkat root).
Or someone in another thread says.. Once you're on 10q , Root it and update to kitkat manual way and Root sticks. (but your mileage varies)
for me.. I got a great Rep on At&t side.. who pushed the 10q and waited till I updated and then Pushed the Kitkat.. Almost half hour + still this was her last statement on chat. sometimes at&T amazes me.
"At&t Rep: You too Thank you! It has been great chatting with you, you're awesome MYNAME HERE. I truly wish you the best and you have a fantastic rest of your day "

Restore to the stock image using the LG flash tool (removes root). Then go online and get them to push the updates. Did it earlier today. There's a video on youtube from rootjunky that will walk you through the restore.
Have to update to Q root then get them to push C (KitKat) I went back to stock rooted that's what I did now I'm on KitKat with root no problem
