Similar situation. So I manually updated. I downloaded the MF3 package from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358763 and use the stock recovery to update and now it works.

Do you think there's another way to update without doing that?

Because your phone is being used on T-Mobile, your update will come from T-Mobile. Pretty sure that is what the axman was saying. I had a tmo phone on att at one point and got my updates from att....
I'm not sure how that works for our device, so you may not get an update at all from Tmo. But yes in general your update would come from tmo.

I haven't gotten the update either. I'm on an ATT i337 running Tmo SIM. Kies still says I'm current, and I've tried changing my phone's date to August 1st and still no update. If I'm on an ATT phone but using Tmo, will the OTA update work from Settings?
I don't want to root my phone until I get this update.

the latest update blocks root. if you want to update to a just recently rooted MF3 version, check out this link.

I appreciate the reference to the other thread, but I really don't want to spend the time jumping through those hoops. I'm hoping for an easy firmware update now, then a root method sometime down the line.

then keep an eye out on http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares for an MF3 tar release. once it drops you can flash via odin without root access

I'm confused. Will I receive the update through Settings->About Device->Software Update, or will I have to update it through Kies?
EDIT: Just noticed that I can't check for an update for another 1269 hours!!!

Wonder why we haven't got it yet
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

correct me if i'm wrong here.. i thought i read from that it's best not to do OTA updates if your usage preferences rely on root and/or custom roms and kernels.. i only use odin because from what i understand, that is usually the safest way to fully wipe and restore/upgrade/downgrade mobile devices running android. am i wrong? curious.

Received Android 4.3 OTA to my i9505 when using GE broodRom

This is not from broodrom and i wonder if it's safe to install it on my international gt-i9505, or will it brick?
And if I install it, will there be any different other than a new software? I mean, will I be able to flash all the roms that are flashable on the international one?

Probably best to wait, just in case. The i9505 and google edition could differ in partition layout so it may just fail or could brick. Im sure the devs will have an update ready soon.

So I've got 4.2 installed on my T-Mobile GS4.
It's been running great, no complaints.
I just received a notice that the system update to 4.3 has been downloaded and ready to install for Google Play Editions of the GS4 and I can reboot and install.
This is, I'm assuming, the pushed download to the Google Play phones. It caught me off guard, so I don't know if I should install it, cancel, or disable the auto-updates etc.
Whats the consensus on this?

seems like even though we don't have the GPE bootloaders, the device are able to be updated via OTA. We just don't know if it will flash correctly. gsmyth is correct, it's better safe than sorry

You're probably right.
Btw, is there any way to remove the system update notification from the notification bar?

there are some reports that some users of t mobile using google rom received and they successfully updated.

Small ask in OTA

Good day guys, My g2 comes with firmware version D80210C-AME and i installed D80210E-EUR now should i receive OTA normally over the EUR version or i lost the OTA and i should back to the AME stock version. Thanks
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

If you flashed a different version there is always a chance wen taking an ota that you may break root or brick your device.

I'm not rooted by the way. But know you suggest me to back to the stock rom

Stock. Don't take OTA. It bases off IMEI. Block it actually.

You very well should should because your framework goes back to normal if you dont get push notifications just keep an eye on your carries website

thanks guys for helping me, i'm going to install AME version :'( it's bugy

Uh oh... 15337hrs. Until I can update

Hello, I went to go check and see if it was true that KitKat came out for the at&t gs4 so I went to go check for an update and it told me I have to wait 15337 hours and 0 minutes until I could check again. Anyway to get passed this by changing the system time maybe? This seems like a joke. My phone is rooted on 4.2.2 and I froze at&t DM manager so it wouldn't automatically update on me (don't know if that could have something to do with it). I wasn't going to update until a new root method came out for the gs4 on KitKat. If anyone could help I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

So do you want to update our not? Your post isn't clear. If you do you're going to have to get rid of root and unfreeze the apps you froze. Easiest way to do that is to flash the mf3 tar files in odin. Backup first of course.

No I do not want to update right now. I want to update when a root method is available. I just was checking to see if KitKat was actually available so when I am going to update, when there is a root method of course, I can, but it says I need to wait 15337 hours and that's my problem so I need to figure out a way to fix that so I eventually can update.

You'll just have to wait 1.75 years and you'll be good to go, lol. No, seriously, you'll need to return to stock and flash the mf3 tar files when you're ready to get the update.

Haha excellent I will do that (the returning to stock way that is). Thank you very much for your help!

You could also just change the date in your settings. I used that to bypass the automatic 24 hour delay between checking for updates, it should work for larger delays as well.

KitKat actually and truly really absolutely is available. Typing this from the official AT&T release. Not to mention all the threads about it.

I thought that would work as well. I'll set up to the exact amount of years and days and see what happens. Thank you.

with having a Canadian/Mexican variant (w8) you can upgrade/downgrade from JB > KK and KK > JB.
Your Baseband (from what I can tell at least) is still on JB, however your KK looks OK. - any specifc reason as to why you asked if it was a beta? it's just beta's don't come around too often and you usually gotta have inside connections to get one. Unless one leaks of course and you purposely flash it.

I askd this because I buy the phone from someone online so I asked this just to be sure that I don't have a wrong version

Plug your phone into your PC and run KIES it'll give you all your version information and if you are on the latest software etc.
