Greeting guys,
I'm running a google edition untouched 4.3 rom. Recently I received a notification for 4.4 update but I can't install it.
Is there a way to install it and enjoy the experience of 4.4 as if my phone was a google edition phone?
thanks

would it be possible if you flash the same recovery of the google edition device and unroot your phone?
In other words, is it possible to convert the phone to google edition to receive the update normally?

I just want it to try the stock rom so badly
The guys are hard at work on it in the development section, don't worry!
The ge rom is lovely and I think the wait is well worth it. If it's like the untouched 4.3 ge rom I've been using it will be better than the stock one! Patience is not a virtue of mine to be honest but in this case, on xda, it's a pleasure to wait for such talented and oft under appreciated devs.

Hi guys. I've been looking for an untouched version of 4.3 Google Edition to use on my i9505, but all ROMs available on Android Development have some sort of modification to it. Some are deodexed, others have 3-way reboot, others remove google and samsung stuff. I really wanted a version completely stock, no root, no deodex, nothing...... just pure.
I have no idea how to make my own flashable zip though. If I did I would have done it for myself.
If you guys can teach me or (even better) make one for me, I would be very much appreciated. :fingers-crossed:
I'm sure other people want this too.
Theres one in the AT&T forum already. use that one.

Not really, I assume you had the idea from S3 getting 4.3 instead of 4.2.
S3 skipped 4.2 because 4.3 was already released, and Samsung didn't have time to make both 4.2 and 4.3 roms.
Sorry for the off-topic.

Hello,
I think it will be December......
Personal guess: we will see a leaked ROM around start-mid October.

IMHO if you want to feel how it taste 4.3 go directly to any modding thread and flash one the roms already available (after a nandroid backup), they are performing quite well and can be used as daily driver. Then, if you miss too much TW you can recover your nandroid and wait for Samsung to realese a 4.3 rom.
anyone have any details on what we can expect on the new firmware?

Hi
I'm searching for a stock ROM 4.3 google edition for my Samsung Galaxy S4. If there is a way without root, I'd prefer that one.
The most important thing for me is the possibility to get OTA updates directly from Samsung/Google. So I'd like to turn my stock S4 into a stock Google edition S4. Is there a way?
I already searched for this in various Sub-Forums on this site, but there are so many ROMs and I don't know which is the right one for me?
Thx

With or without root, you can't get official updates if you're on google edition 4.3.

Thank you for the links. The ROM of the first link you posted I'm using for about 2 months, but unfortunatly it does not seem to support ota updates, since I'm still on built number JWR66.S005.130625 and there are newer builts on the internet.
Also the rest of your posted ROMs don't seem to get ota updates directly. The only way to get updates seems to be by installing them manually.
Maybe there is no way (atm) to turn a S4 into a pure stock Google Edition S4.

That's what I ment.
Is there a way to get an "incremental" update for my built number to a more actual version? I don't like it to completly restet the device just for an update...
All the 4.3 GE roms are custom ones and you won't get any OTA. This may change but that's it for now I'm afraid.

It is possible the v500 will get KitKat but since google only just released it it is unlikely the stock LG Rom will be up-gradable to kitkat for at least a while. If you want kitkat I suggest you buy a Google play edition (v510) or if you already have the v500 put a custom AOSP Rom on it such as the Cyanogenmod.
Hey guys, sorry if this question has been addressed a thousand times previously, but I searched and couldn't find anything. I know there is a way to fully convert the HTC One (M7) to a GPE so that it will recieve OTA updates from Google. So this is different than just flashing a Stock Rom, because once s-off was achieved we could actually change the CID, basically fully converting it to a GPE phone. Is there a way to do this on the GS4? If so, could someone provide a link? Also is it dependent upon what version of Android it is running? For example if its been updated to the latest version of the OS from the carrier, is it still possible? I just bought a minty 32gb GS4 that should arrive today or tomorrow, and the first thing I would like to do is convert it. I read that with certain updates it can't be loki'd... And really not into rooting just to flash Roms, I would want to convert and be done...
How about flash google play edition ROM?

I know, but then everytime a new update comes out I have to flash another ROM... I'd rather convert and be done, that way I can still OTA updates

No two ways about it. Either buy a google play edition or do it like everyone else does, flash roms.

so the answer to my question is "no"... you can't fully convert a gs4 to a gpe like you can with the m7

I guess it's something related to modem , bootloader or kernel.
Devs have to make changes to make it installable on our 9505 , and by doing so , it breaks OTA ...
