He means a ROM he could flash without losing the exploit, not the actual update.
Just wait and one should be created like it was for MF3, otherwise you'll have to settle for any other 4.3 ROM. You could always check the international section for their stock 4.3 or something.
I hope someone will create one

In the mean time you could try this. It's based on mj9. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42294395

Just got a Device Management update available message on my S4 this morning. Anyone have an idea of what it's for? I won't be installing anything until I know I won't lose root.
Are you on MDL or MF3? If MDL, it's probably the MF3 update and I'd use a custom rom. If MF3, then I have no clue

MDL.
Careful on Wi-Fi if it's downloaded because it will auto update if you reboot for any reason. Better freeze what needs frozen and delete the update. This came out a month ago.

Thanks!!!!!
Is there anyway I could still flash a rom if i am not rooted, I see some roms come with root if you flash it. Someone please explain to me thank you
You don't need to be rooted but need to have access to a custom recovery. What firmware are you on?
We can assume your phone is an ATT model but your profile says your a Tmobile customer.

Are you 4.3 rom or 4.3 updated
Sent from my ATT S4 MF3 using Tapatalk
4.3 updated
K thats what I thought .even if you achieved root there is no custom recovery for that update and no Safestrap either.

hey guys... im on 4.3 MK2 rooted, can i install a 4.2.2 rom stock or custom ?? with 4.2.2 modem and bootloader.
thanks.
If you updated by keeping the MF9 bootloader you can go back to stock. If you took the OTA however, you can only downgrade to 4.2 with a custom ROM.

but i can downgrade to 4.2 (100% 4.2) using a custom rom?? or i will be on 4.2 but with the same new bootloader?
what custom rom would work in my case? if you can give me a link to one.. there are so many here.
If you're on the MJA or MK2 bootloader, you're stuck with it.
And why would you want to go back to 4.2? Any ROM would work, but seems kind of pointless.

i downgraded the modem to mdc and did the unlock process. it worked, i can make and receive calls but when the phone is going to 3g i get a error message "LTE esm 29 emm-x cannot establish wireless data connection" nobody else had that issue.. i dont know if hte fact that my phone is not activated on spring is relevant.. it shouldn't be, because im using the phone outside the US.
i dont know what to do to make this thing work.. i have flashed from mdc to mk2 or mja like 5 times and i always get the same message.
Hey guys, well I'm back in action! After dumping my S4 a few months ago, I am getting another one tonight. Ever since I saw the 4.3 update on my gf's S4, I saw that things have smoothed out and things are the way they should be!
Long story short, I want to see if the one I'm getting can be rooted. It is on 4.2.2 and the baseband is I3373CUFCMF3. Am I good to root it? I've been out of the S4 game for a while, so I don't know. If I can root it, can I run 4.3?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
I'd try to get a MDL one so you could just flash a 4.3 custom ron
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
Most, if not all current S4's will have MF3 firmware preinstalled. I doubt any store would have MDL firmware. Those devices would have had to be sitting there since early summer.

Yes, with MF3 you can root. You can then install safestrap and do some roms.
However if you take the 4.3 update you lose the ability to safestrap and use some roms, but you should still be able to root. I am not 100% as I just kept mf3 and put a 4.2.2 rom on it.
Ok, thanks for the responses. Can I flash any ROM with Safestrap or just some? Can I flash a custom 4.3 ROM for example?
Thanks!
You cannot install anything that's not touchwiz and anything above 4.2.2

Your very limited with roms using safestrap. Even then, the ones that work, might not work all the way. If you had MDL, you could use any rom if you flash loki-doki.
Just ask if they have one with MDL firmware. Doesn't hurt to ask, right?
Thanks for the responses guys! I will see if I can get a hold of a MDL phone.

Get a device that isn't as locked down as the s4 or note 3. Maybe nexus 5? Unless you can live with safestrap or just root. Which I can. If your a ROM flashaholic than stay away.

This thread has the MF3 file you can use to upgrade manually.

I honestly have not read it so I don't know if there are instructions. I got the link for that thread from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2526964
That one just provided the link to the other but was helpful to me in upgrading from MF3. Hopefully after you manually upgrade to MF3 your phone will auto upgrade to MK2.

Yes but you shouldn't update that phone. Seriously. If you want to enjoy that device, you'll listen to me. If you update that device to MF3 or later, you'll be really upset once you realize that you lost the gifts that MDL brings. Read up before you mess up a golden opportunity.
