My phone won't update to 4.3 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

It did update, but the sprint id was not installing so I reflashed back to MDL and updated by to MF9 via OTA... but that is where it stopped at. Now it shows no update for 4.3 and the Sprint Default Configuration keeps downloading over and over, but never installs. It says there is a problem with the ID and to reinstall it. Is this sprint id keeping me from updating to 4.3? Is there another way I can update via KIES?

mine still says, no update available, i was once rooted but not anymore on stock rom
I downloaded but it wouldn't or couldn't install it on my rooted unit.
Tried again, still will not install.
Anyone found a solution to not installing?
no update or firmware update available on my device? In kies it says this device CANNOT be updated? lol
mine still doesn't have the update. if this weren't Android, I'd be a sad mac. = /
Just got my replacement tab yesterday and when I checked for an update, it had one, but that just seemed to get me to 3.1 or something and didn't get me Touchwhiz.
I'm on a custom ROM for now, but I'd rather be on stock.
Anyone seen this live in the last day or so?
And again. Firmware update stuck at 13%. Tried with Kies. Failed. Tried with Kies emergency firmware recovery. Failed. I can only boot to the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue page" and the odin3 mode. Very, very disappointed with Samsung.

Update unavailable/not working

To start I rooted with Kingo but still stock otherwise. Then settings/about phone/software update and no luck. So I flashed the stock image and pit file so I'm back to no root and full stock. Go back to settings/about/software update and still says (update unavailable) not (no update available) or running latest version. It's an error saying my updater isn't working. I'm on MJ7 and wanting to update to MJE the latest version. Can anyone help? I've tried Samsung Kies and Verizon repair/update on my PC and still no profit. I'm want to update and run the cleanrom 1.5.....
Okay well update took through Verizon update/repair on PC finally. First off my signal went from -98 to -92.... so that doesn't suck. 2nd) upon re rooting with KingoApp when I boot/reboot I do not get the pesky custom logo and I'm on stock room with no wanam/exposed.
3rdly) I went to settings/about/software update and it now works and says my phone is running current. Now to flash cleanrom 1.5 and I'm done. Thanks for looking!

9505 OTA to 4.3 fails

Hello,
Can't update to 4.3, I get new FW notificaiton, it downloads, starts installation at quits at about 25% by rebooting itself and showing a message that I either need to update via Kies or get it to the service center. Any ideas what may be causing this?
I've got 4.2.2 rooted stock with triangle away, got another exactly the same phone and everything went really smoothly w/o any issues.
The worst of all that update is roughly 700 mb big and I have to redownload it again every time it fails.

happened to me also when upgrading to 4.3 on rooted stock w/ triangle away...
you have to unroot by reflashing a stock firmware in your region via odin...
Maybe I'd get a new OTA as tar file and flash it on top of current one w/o downgrading to stock?

LG G2 VS980 OTA/SUA 4.4.2 Update Failure

Well, I've been messing with this since yesterday. I was once rooted via Kingo, but unrooted it a few weeks back.
SUA:
Tried the Verizon SUA on my Windows 8.1 desktop and it failed multiple times in even finding the phone. It never showed up in the window.
Moved to a naked Win 7 laptop and after installing all drivers, it ran VZW SUA and again, didn't list phone in the SUA window.
After multiple attempts at each, the OTA update showed up.
Downloaded OTA without trouble, but but after displaying the installation screen, a black box showed up and automatically rebooted to the existing 4.2.2. That error message was:
ERR: 0x1117008
While attempting to do OTA again, I checked the status button on the notification window and see its current upgrade status there. Specifically:
Status
Name: LG_VS980_12B_TO_24A
Status: Update Failed
Code: 402
Date: 19 Apr, 2014 EDT
Time: 07:25:53 AM
Somewhere in another window, I did see the phone suggesting that it was still rooted. I ran RootChecker and it says otherwise, but I'm assuming that my Root/Unroot process removed something that the Verizon software package is looking for as a key to being rooted.
I'd gladly skip the OTA and just do a full package upgrade via the VZW SUA if I could in fact get that to make the phone and software upgrade appear in the window itself. Hope this detailed info helps me and others who may be having similar troubles.
Any insight on where to go next?

Did you delete anything off your phone with titanium backup or something? Any uninstalling of system apps?

I'm sure I pulled some bloatware at some point, but I wasn't too worried as all of it seemed to come back in after I did a hard reset.
Assume something like that is the problem, though. Thx.

BTW, if I did remove stiff it was probably with ROM Toolbox.

It's quite possible that could be the reason.

Have you tried manually doing a factory reset using kdz or tot method? I tried just choosing factory reset under settings on my phone and the OTA still did not work. I got it to work using the TOT method listed as a sticky in the LG G2 section. Once I went back to 12b stock with this method the OTA worked just fine. Try it and if you have problems give a holler. I get your frustration as I went through it too haha.

Are you running the Xposed framework? If so, uninstall from within the app and try again.
Not sure if your problem is the same as mine but when the OTA first appeared last week I had problems upgrading over wifi. I tried 3 times to install the OTA but all attempts failed (OTA downloaded successfully, phone reboots, and then the install fails with a similar error code). Switching off wifi and installing the OTA over 4G worked on the first try.

Update on rooted N910U

So ive rooted my N910U running 4.4.4 and now when I go to update I get an error pop up saying my phone has been modified. How do I get around this and update?
That is normal because once rooted, the device looses the ability to update over the air. Also uncheck the auto update box to prevent this message popping. If there is a new firmware, you can simply download it on pc from a repository, flash via odin and reroot.

Thanks for the tip. Where would i find the download for the update for a n910u?
Im thinking about buying this device. Is the bootloader unlockable and can i use it on Verizon network
Use kies to update your phone then re root
