Hi all,
my S4 is currently running stock 4.2.2 MG1 rooted and both the phone and Kies refuse to tell me if there is an upgrade available.
In the past Kies would let me get the OTA but I guess Samsung made some change.
So is there an update available (4.3) for Canadian (I337) S4 and how can I install it ?
Is root available yet ?
Thank you.

??? If your phone is rooted you do know your NOT suppose to accept OTA or you will ruin phone.
There are plenty of custom 4.3 rooms out there.

not really I always installed OTA updates using Kies with my SGS3/SGS4/Note 10.1 , 2 times each at least.
You just loose root access , thats it.

Im using stock galaxy s3 rom, too. with root. and i was able to update via Samsung Kies without any problems. then rooted again. Don't know if it will be different for JB tho. but i guess it will be the same.

but you reverted to a stock kernel or kies updated also with rooted one?
Root = no or failed OTA update .
But should update via Kies .
Root is lost .

It will flash with root OTA or through Kies. At least it does for me.

I updated my rooted stock rom via kies without any problems. But not JB of course. Some other ICS update some weeks ago. It worked without problems, i just had to re-root again.

If your system status indicates "modified" you can't do OTA, just via kies. you may have this status, as do I, after flashing via Odin, and even after using triangle away.

Really? The status shows modified even after using triangle away? Then we wouldn't get repair in case of trouble right?

I just Kies-updated my SGS3 international to JB after being rooted running stock ICS 4.0.4. Now it runs 4.1.1 but is no longer rooted. OTA did not report ugrade available. At least it did not yet before Kies did its job.
So here is a sample that a rooted ICS can be upgraded just like you did with the same side effects.
hello, i recently unrroted my phone to stock " I337UCUAMDL" and i wanted to update to the newest version, but its not letting me. it sayd update is not available. i tried connecting it to Kies and it says firmware is not compatible with kies. is there i way i can get these privileges back? i updated via odin.
Why do you want to update? You will lose your unlockable bootloader...

Updating will devalue your phone when you sell it in the future because people that want to buy the phone from this forum won't care for the phone after you update it. Why do you want a crippled phone?

There's a thread on how to update from MDL to MF9. Idk where though, sorry, you'll have to search. You could also just do what you did but with MF9 instead of the MDL.
MF9? You mean MF3...

I have a simple question,
I just bought a Samsung galaxy s4 i9505.
If I root this device, will I still be able to receive OTA-updates when they release the 4.3 firmware for this device?

forget about ota updates when rooted.. not recommended to do so..
So when rooted, I first have to reinstall before I can do an OTA update?

Nope, because you're phone will be under 'custom' instead of official.

Hi Guys
Yesterday i got my Galaxy Gear, and i'm ready to make it shine. I have a Stock Non-rooted i9500 Galaxy S4 on 4.2.2 and need to update to 4.3 to use the Gear Manager. The only thing i got is Nova Launcher and a bunch of apps.
OTA has not arrived, so i suppose i should update via Kies? How can i do this? Which Baseband version is the newest and safe to use in 4.3. I have I9500UBUBMG9 on 4.2.2.
I primarily use a Mac but can use a Windows PC. Do i lose my info if i update via Kies? Please any guide, tutorial etc. Don't want to damage my S4. I will search the forums, but your help would be greatly appreciated!
:good:
do you care about warranty??
Just download gear manager from Samsung app and it will work fine with 4.2.2... I have used a year on s4 on 4.2.2 without a problem.. Try it

No, not really. I don't care about warranty.
What's the easiest, safest way to update? I've been reading something about Knox, and voiding the warranty, but i have a i9500 and not a i9505.

Nope, it doesn't work. I have Gear Manager installed and it says:
"Unable to connect to the Gear. Connecting to the Gear is not supported by your mobile device, or your software needs to be updated. Check that your mobile device is able to connect to the Gear, then update your mobile device software"

Thank you guys, i figured it out a month ago. Flashed my S4 to the latest 4.3 chain log, then my Gear to MK7 and been using Null ROM on Gear. Thanks guys for the replies.
hello, i want to ask, why did my S4 when i try to OTA update it,, it always showing that i have already installed the latest update,
while when i plugged it and open the KIES it shows MK8 update available.
but i cant download if it was from KIES or ODIN, cause of the firmware size and my monthly limits.
it happens when im trying to update to the 4.3 from 4.2.2 as well, i have to bring my s4 to the service center.. but they installed the DXUEMJ5 not the MK8 (latest version) anyone can help?
i've never rooted my s4 or install any custom rom and my device status is official
Did you disabled any apps

way is ODIN

thanks for your time to reply. no, but my phone a few weeks ago got their motherboard changed in the samsung service centre. if i connect my s4 to KIES i can update it in the kies apps but its impossible for me cause of the file size and my monthly internet bills
