Official? No telling.
We already have 4.3 if you run a different ROM than stock.

Google is your friend. 4.3 hasn't been announced for any version of the S4 other than the Google Edition.

I heard they were skipping that 4.3 for the s3 and s4 and updating those straight to key lime . 4.3 is just a small update. Google need to let the os sit for a while instead of update after update it's getting hard to keep up unless you update your phone allot and no one likes a old phone no matter how good it works.

The S3 and Note 2 are skipping 4.2 and going straight to 4.3.
This message brought to you in part by Sprint and the letters GS and the number 4

I believe its only for the international versions only, US carriers are still stuck with 4.1

After yesterday's news, I guess we should now look for Kitkat?

Forget 4.2 & break me off a piece of that KitKat. Couldn't resist

Guess we are getting 4.3. The us version no telling.

Next month for the international versions. No word as usual for the US carriers. Probably Nov/Dec.

Given how Samsung wants folks to buy their "gear", I suspect it won't be too late even for the US carriers - should be within 2 months (my guess)

This is gotta be at&t's fault no? lol I have t-mobile, it's for a friends s4. he's stuck on mf3

AT&T and Verizon have locked down bootloaders. When the OTA install starts, it blows a Qfuse making it impossible 'at this time' to downgrade back to a previous build.

So I couldn't use Odin to flash an earlier version of the baseband to also root, and stop myself from upgrading to mf3 again?

No. The bootloader is locked, and does not allow downgrade. Once you are on mf3, there is no going back.

No. It is impossible to downgrade anything. Read up on it. There is more in depth stuff than what I said. As of now, there is no way to downgrade, install a custom recovery, flash a rom, use Odin, etc. Only root is possible.

I was really thinking about rooting because i wanted to install this audio mod for music. That's really the only thing I wanna do. Also, to get rid of some bloat ware. But I still have very good battery

Root is possible, but if you mess something up, you may not be able to fix it until we get an Odin flushable MF3.be very careful with it.

If anything goes wrong with installing the mod you may be screwed. Also, saying you want to "get rid" of bloatware leads me to believe you want to delete. Don't, just freeze them.
I would wait--

Keep your eye on this app called Safestrap by Hashcode. It's being developed for Verizon S4 but most likely will work on AT&T's as well. Read more on what it is and other cool things about it here, be sure to read thoroughly so you fully understand what it does haha.

I'm on MF3 as well and I know how you feel. At least we can root.
Good things come to those who wait

Update to MF3 or stay at MDL?

Been out of the game for a little bit due to a broken s4 but my question tonight is should I just stay at Rooted MDL or update to MF3?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app

Don't do it
I STRONGLY recommend for you to stay at MDL, because as of this moment, there is no bootloader unlock for MF3, so that means no custom ROMS or kernels, unless you want to use SafeStrap. If custom ROMS don't matter to you, update. But remember, if you get TWRP, you can always flash an MF3 ROM and get it, while keeping your bootloader unlock. Try it. If you don't need custom ROMS and other cool stuff, update.

Lol just read about it and I defiantly do not want to update thanks for the help. So I'm safe to use any rom in the development section

You could flash the unadultered MF3 rom that somebody made and if I'm not mistaken that will allow you to revert

I saw an update for Samsung on my phone this morning. I deleted out of it fast because I was doing something and didn't take notice what it was. I'm running beans bld 6 and I'm trying to find where to check, but beans takes it out right?

Is that build based on mje?

Sprint roms

So any devs working on any roms for our phone? Ive tried all of the others that were made for different providers and unfortunately I cant get data enabled because they dont have apns in their rom version. ;/

No roms for you grasshopper

I think you are going to see a drastic decline in ROM development with all the Xposed apps out there.
Pretty easy to download Xposed and the apps you want. Then do your own mods. Easier to tailor it how you want it. IMO

There is stuff in the works but I need experienced testers for some of these.
One test, which can be done through Odin, I am about to post.

Well that sucks, I personal like finding a rom that has the features and everything. I really hope someone develops a aosp rom.
