Problem installing OTA update - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Been trying to install update for a while and haven't been successful so far.
I realized it was from being rooted and a unlocked bootloader. So I removed the root and relocked the bootloader and I go to apply update and it is still not working. So I try to force the update by clearing cache and data in the google services app and that still is a no go.
That is when i noticed something.
Android Version is 4.2.2
Baseband is I9505GUEUBMH5
Build is JDQ39.I9505GUEUAMFD
So somehow my Android Version and Build correspond but my baseband says its the latest 4.3..
How do i fix this so i can get 4.3?
EDIT: I Even tried downloading 4.3 update and doing it manually and it fails on me.

Can I use the 4.3 restore with Odin and get it working?

[Q] OTA 4.3 without losing CWM Recovery?

My Nexus 7 is a stock 4.2.2 rooted and has CWM recovery. The 4.3 OTA offering has arrived. Is there any way to actually allow it to update and still have CWM? I assume that with CWM I can flash something that will return root.

After the OTA, just re-flash CWM or TWRP, and then use it to flash the latest SuperSU update.
How did that work out for you?
I have the same setup. Stock 4.2.2, rooted, CWM. But when I accepted the OTA it error'd out so I rebooted and never saw the OTA update again. Tried manually updating via "system" settings menu. I don't recall the error. Now I'm not sure how to get and install 4.3....and without ANY impact on data.
Thanks!

This happened to me too. In my case it was because I was running the hybird 84/33 modem for LTE on 4.2.2 and the update fails when it checks whats currently installed. As in your case after the failure the update is no longer available.
I went and flashed the original 48 modem (for 4.2.2) from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087227
and then followed the update instructions on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2378413
after which I reflashed the hybrid modem. It worked and I'm now on 4.3 with root, CWM recovery, and LTE.

Went back to stock 4.2.2, how do I update to 4.3 stock? (won't let me update)

So basically I went back to stock by "TAR files to flash MF3 via ODIN" and now I am on 4.2.2 stock. I don't really need root and just want to go 4.3
What I want to do is go 4.3 but it won't let me, it says I am up to date even though I am on 4.2.2.
It also won't let me update via kies...how do I fix this?

Ok so I have a rooted 4.2.2 mf3 S4 and I want to factory reset it because it's pretty laggy if I compare it to my gf's s4 which is also rooted.
I didn’t do the odin root, I used this method to root my s4

Is there any easy way to factory reset without losing the root?
I got a few more questions
Is there a way I can go to 4.3 root from 4.2.2? What would happen if I update to stock 4.3 or 4.4 (when it officially comes out) using the AT&T software update, will it brick my phone or will I be ok?

ODIN root method is for the I337m only anyways, so it wouldn't have worked. If you do a factory reset in the stock recovery, it doesn't touch the system files at all so you should still keep root. I'd make SuperSU a system app first though. You can get the 4.3 OTA through the software update menu and as long as you activate survival mode in SuperSU and you haven't made any changes whatsoever to the system files (besides root), it will run just fine.
Nvm got it! thanks

5.1 OTA upgrade error

I am on 5.0.1 rooted with stock ROM and stock kernel. I recently got 5.1 upgrade notification.
After downloading the data and restarting the phone, it started installing updates and after a while it showed "error" and stopped.
Now I m on 5.0.1 with no 5.1 upgrade notice.
What is wrong and what should I do for this?
Thank you.
Do I need to unroot? I am on stock kernel and ROM.

Yes, you need to unroot before you can apply the OTA upgrade. Look for the Nexus Root Toolkit, and it should be able to clean up for you.
But prior I didn't need to unroot to upgrade anytime! To upgrade JB to KK or KK to LP, I didn't unroot before installation.
you need stock recovery to update via OTA
Yeah I was on pure stock. Stock ROM kernel and recovery.
Btw, I unrooted my phone with simply unroot and then OTA update went well.
So now I am on stock 5.1 unrooted.
Thank u all.
i have troubles as well. i unrooted, installed stock recovery (via n4 toolkit) and tryed to install. it takes longer then before but i stell get an error. SuperSU is gone in my app drawer.. any other help?
PS: i am on stock rom 5.0.1
i tryed to use sideload ADB update. it says: "/system/bin/app_process32" has unexpected contents. Error in sideload/package.zip. Status 7
any tipps?

Odin can't install any firmware/rom

I really need help on this one... I had my device rooted and then I installed lollipop.. Now for some reason I cannot install any rom into my phone.. Odin always gives me errors.. I've tried 4.2 4.4 5.0 nothing..
They all fail by saying sometime auth..
Any help?
lollipop update locks the bootloader tight, you're stuck with stock now. Sorry...

OTA update issue after stock rom flash

Hi guys,
so flashed a stock note 3 rom for EE in the UK to remove the effects of the root and custom rom I had.
Flashed via odin, all went ok.
Went to update OTA to more recent version and it says system has been modified. Sure enough under settings/about device/status it says "custom"
my question is, is there a way to change that to official so i can receive OTA updates?
ive googled and seen a few solutions that didn't work.
I tried removing SD card, reboot and wipe cache - didnt work.
Also tried using xposed, tells me im not rooted so cant do anything
Finally tried SuperSU unroot option, told me again, not rooted.
Any help please!!
Ben
