So I rooted my phone using the de le Vegas root or whatever and it was fine. I then tried installing to OTA like the method stated about enabling survival mode and ect. Instead of updating, it unrooted me..Sorta. I still have custom boot animation, custom status and my custom multi-window and pen window but that's about it. It says SuperSu has lost its binaries. Now..Yesterday, my phone does this wierd thing where Nova Launcher animations stop working and my phone skips all the animations and the phone want go to sleep mood or reboot. I then have to take battery out and restart it that way. It just did it again about 5 mins ago. I just need someone to show me how to go back to stock or something. I can't afford to ruin this $600+ phone. I rather have it stock and feel safe until a little later in its root career lol
I had that happen after taking the update....get the latest tar file and use Odin to take you back to stock then root using kingo. Once you root your phone will show custom...only way to get it removed is to Odin back and don't root.

Not sure if this will work, but try rebooting it. Why don't you want to install the update?
Let the battery drain until 15% then try to accept the update. it won't continue on low battery I think.. Or if youre rooted, backup one system for like email or something.. Back it up somewhere.. Then proceed, update will fail because you need all stock apps there.. Then put back the file after you reboot.. Update will be gone

You can't OP I've had this annoying thing for a week, got used to it, you're not taking LTE away from me Google, screw u
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
subxero123, I'm pretty sure the only reason you can't use LTE in 4.2.2 is the radio/modem. Install the update, then revert to an old radio.
I was going to to wait for LTE also, thats why I didnt want it. Also I'm rooted so it sounded like a hassle. been really lazy lately lol. Question though: If I get the OTA root keeper app, is all I have to do is go into the app and update through it? Will it wipe anything, and do I have to set up all my mods again. For example my launcher, custom icons, gestures, lightflow, etc.??? If its easy with that app I'll do it....
Did you make any sort of modifications?
If you didn't delete system apps or flash a custom kernel just flash the update.zip from here: http://android.clients.google.com/p...4.signed-occam-JDQ39-from-JOP40D.de8b8d10.zip. Thanks wrinklefree. More info at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848
After that you can flash the 4.2.1 radio firmware and you're set
Hello everyone,
I've been looking around the forum but I haven't been able to find an answer to this. Right now I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S4 from Verizon (I rooted it using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290798). The device is currently fully rooted with the original ROM in place (I have not installed ANY custom ROM's ever). I am looking to return the phone to the store tonight but when I unroot through SuperSU and then do a factory wipe (through the settings tab not through any special program) I get the "Custom" message upon booting up again. I have tried rooting/unrooting a number of times with no success. My current position is as follows: I am rooted using the aforementioned method, I have not installed a custom ROM so I assume that I am on the stock ROM, I have installed SuperSU and TriangleAway (TriangleAway says that I have a 0 flash counter). If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it as I might need to return the S4 to the store within the next 2 hours to get my refund. Thanks in advance for any information you can provide and I apologize for the quickness of my request.
Truncated link for the root method
It looks like the forum truncated my link. Here is the full address for the root method I used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290798 . Thanks again!
What I would do is go to the Android Development forum and download Sextape's one click restore for MDC. It will wipe everything from the internal card and reset you back to MDC. Take the OTA to MDL if you wish.
Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258827
Pretty sure it will wipe out any custom indications. I've used the one-click methods for years on the E4GT and here on the S4. Very convenient.
I just went through the same thing. What I did is triangle away, defrost any system apps that maybe frozen disable supersu, reboot, and wallah "official". I repeated these steps twice as the first time it did not take.
P.s. when I ran a frozen system app filter in TB I saw an app called sys scope that was frozen and I don't recall ever freezing that app. Hell, i don't even know what it does but I defrosted it anyway
and all is well

Triangle away doesn't work for MF9 just yet I believe, but it did for MDC. Can always Odin back there, then run triangle away. Ughh, i hate trips to the sprint store

I haven't tried as I'm waiting on Beans to incorporate this new update in his Build 5 rom. Make sure you have all of the bloat ware that was pre installed or the OTA won't update. I tried updating with earlier OTA updates and forgot to unfreeze the bloat ware so it didn't work.
Take a sec and hit thanks if I helped or if you're in a good mood!
I tried. I used survival mode and un froze everything I had froze. It error ed. Gonna have to wait or see if anyone un roots, updates, and then re roots. I'd go the rom root but the stock is working fine for me. I just like root access and want the up to date software.

LOL, I don't know about "loving it" but it does work just fine for me.
I was running Beans etc. on mi9. The OTA failed repeatedly, so I finally gave up & flashed the odin tar of mj7 which made the phone like it was brand new right out of the box..
At that point, the OTA completed successfully. That left me without root or safestrap however, so I did the kingo root, reinstalled safestrap and installed the paid Pro version of SuperSU.
At that point, I flashed Beans v4 ROM in the stock ROM slot after doing a complete wipe in safestrap recovery.
Now, the system runs absolutely perfectly. I have not had a single problem of any kind. The system absolutely flies, no lag whatever and not a single FC or freeze up. I have a custom theme installed and quite a few system UI changes with Xposed/ Wanam etc.etc.etc.
Survival mode is hit and miss best way to do it is odin back to mj7 and ota then kingo all your safstrap backups will save and will have new modem so ur not loesing anything

I was on MJ7 rooted by kingo.
Here is what I did.
Backup apps
When to my stock rom
Uninstalled safestrap
Unrooted with kingo (must be on stock rom slot as I found out)
Then took the ota and it failed.
So I downloaded new odin
Downloaded MJ7 tar file.
Flashed that and did not loose any data on my phone.
Then I took the OTA
(Now successfully on MJE)
Wifi wasn't connecting
Rerooted with kingo.
Installed safestrap
Booted back into my rom slot for clean rom. Wifi now works.
Downloaded new clean rom 1.5
And clean flashes.
Restored apps.
Everything works flawless here.
Amazing battery.
No you do not need to take the OTA.
If your phone works fine the way it is then why change it.
It is only worth it if you plan on staying with the latest builds here on XDA.
I assume hyperdrive will follow up shortly to MJE.
Beans will have one out any day now.
And clean rom works amazing for me.

I for one am loving it. I got this phone through my job and put my t-mobile sim in it and was happy on H+ with it, but this update has now allowed a true 4GLTE connection with my tmobile sim. using the same APN settings as before. Sweet.
I'm currently on mj7 rooted with safe strap. I think I'm going to try to find a cheap Windows laptop of some sort since Mac is all I have. I have frozen the system update in tibu for now. Should I get a Chrome book? Will probably only use it to tweak my android devices. Thanks

I got ambitious and tried to take the update. Previously used Odin to flash to MJ7 and rooted with vroot(Kingo did not work). I booted to recovery switched to stock slot rebooted and tried to take the update, It failed, so I went back to recovery, did a factory reset and rebooted. No success in taking the update. Any suggestions as to what I should do next?
Well, here's what I did. I'm just rooted, stock recovery. Rooted back on MI9 with de la vega. No safestrap, etc
Unfroze all frozen apps with TBU
I went to Safe Mode on Super SU
Disabled Super SU
Took the update
Reenabled Super SU
Unchecked Safe Mode
Updated Binaries
Used a root checker to recheck root
Froze apps again

Verizon keeps trying to push the OTA 4.4.2 update. I've been doing "install later" but now I'm ready to go ahead and pull the trigger on 4.4.2.
1. I am rooted
2. I do NOT have a custom bootloader (TWRP or CWM)
3. I do NOT have a custom ROM.
So, in order to OTA update do I simply have to un-root? If so, with the Full Unroot in SuperSU do the trick or do I need to go through the steps set up here to go back to stock?
Thank you in advance for any advice on the matter.

If you are rooted you can take ota, as long as you meet the requirements which are don't have custom recovery(twrp/philz/cwm),everything is stock, don't have xposed and have not removed bloat also to answer your question a full unroot from su should work no problem

Tried while rooted. The phone rebooted and the installer started, showing 0%, then threw an error (it went away before I could see it...something like 0x1111004?)
Did SuperSU Full Unroot. Rebooted. Tried install again and got the same results.
I'm going to try a full factory reset and see if it helps.
Well, crap!
So resetting the phone didn't help. I forgot that I mobile hotspot mod so I tried to back that out by installing the stock hotspot apk and odex.
Now, when I try to do a software update I get "unfortunately, software update has stopped". Tried force close and clear cache but no luck. Tried wiping phone again, no luck. Any ideas?
I have a boot issue on my Verizon G2. I'm on 11A stock, rooted and hotspot altered. I also have OTA updates blocked for months by titanium. Was going to undo wifi and unroot and factory reset to see if that helped my boot issue. But I hate to have mine error like yours since mine still functions. Gonna watch this thread and hope you get yours fixed. good luck
While trying to remove the hotspot mod i removed the mobile update apk. What a moron. Anyway, thank god i had a backup.
I'm back to square one. Can't ota update. It fails with 0x1111004. I'm going to look into disabling the daily push of the update and/or some other method of installing Kitkat.

Hello Gents,
Have had my S4 for about a year now and its been awesome (still on MK2, stopped it from updating). It is rooted and safestrap has been installed. I didn't get around to installing a custom ROM though so im still on stock ROM. Been noticing some random issues today and cant pinpoint why. First I am unable to turn on WIFI, was able to yesterday but now it just stays grey. I randomly lose my data connection (well it has a circle with a line through it) and it randomly just pops back on to 4g. I was playing on the phone one time and no SIM error came up but then went away. Power saving mode turned itself on randomly when i have over half battery. Lots of random things happening...
Now i did lose some data and have been trying to recover it this past week using this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...e-internal-memory-data-recovery-yes-t1994705/
I didn't make it far though because when i try to launch ADB Shell it gives me a permission error.
So that is another thing on the list, it is no longer prompting me to give root access to things. I also noticed that when i power on the phone, it no longer shows Samsung with a lock like it did ever since i rooted it. It now shows Samsung Galaxy S4...I Guess i may have lost root? I downloaded root checker and it says i still have it. Anyway its just so confusing, is it time to blow everything out and go back to stock MK2 and start over? What do you guys think? Thanks!
If you don't mind, I'd say Odin to stock would be your first troubleshooting step.
Don't forget, internal SD gets erased when you Odin to stock.

Think so huh? I was thinking so...and yeah i know it erases internal memory, ill pull everything off before that and titanium backup apps and blah blah..
What i'd like to know is does Odin to stock blow EVERYTHING out including root and safe strap to where i would have to do that all over again? and i assume there is an Odin to stock for MK2? because i do not want the new update...

I think Odin to stock is easier than troubleshooting every issue that you are having. Especially considering you already tried fixing one of them.
Yes. Odin wipes the slate clean. You'd have to root and install safestrap again. In case you don't have it.

thanks brother! running through the long ridiculous process now
I see you have started the process... But wouldn't doing a FDR first be a simpler first effort? You would still have to restore root and data and apps, but it would be a bit easier and probably fix the problem. Just a thought. Hope all worked out!
