Yeah I did too. I was trying to root first, but now I'm stuck on it. Does anyone know of a way to root the mk2?

Folks, take a moment and read. Plenty of info out here already. Nobody will help those that take the easy root and post a question that's already been asked.

Update.zip from May

Does anyone have a copy of the first update.zip from May? I looked around and can't find it. Or if someone can direct me to the RUU that has this included, that would be awesome too.
Thanks in advance.

Did you do the downgrade after rooting? If you didn't get it, vzwsupport on twitter say to go to a store and have them push it to you. I'm in the same boat.

Yeah I unrooted to wait for official ota. I've done it before and it automatically pushed the May ota. This time it didn't. I've used a PB31IMG.zip from way back. I'll try to RUU that's on here to see if that does it. I just don't want to miss the ota because I'm missing this old one.

This is the AT&T forum... but I'll look for you...
You've got to keep in mind though, there isn't a modem thread for AT&T, so I don't know about Skrint, but I'll look for you..
EDIT- Your info says Skrint

Your about 2 weeks too late. Anyway, why would anyone want it? It completely takes away root, and loki custom recovery.

If you really want it, install Kies on your pc, connect your phone and pc via USB and let it patch it. Like was said above, it will unroot your phone... however, if you're not rooted, no worries.

Hey there guys, I'm relatively new to all this rooting and such. I have a rooted ATT s4. I have titanium backup (I just don't know too much about Roms, flashing, and custom recoveries). Anyway, as I saw the update, I went and started the update. Meanwhile updating, I came across a page saying it broke root...it kept updating though so I frantically thought of things I could do to stop it and simply used titanium backup to freeze the att updater app. If I unfreeze it, it will resume downloading from where it left off. I have downloaded folder mount, set CPU, and I don't think I've flashed anything...I don't even know what it means...but yeah, I really envy the better quality of the photo taking and HDR recording as well as the better memory usage and lag removed with the update...is there a way to keep root and have the updated firmware...keep in mind I'm still a noon so please use non geeky terms...thanks and any help is appreciated...(is there a way to cancel the ATT update progress so I don't have to keep the app frozen through titanium backup?) Thanks again

here is geek terms for you, you should have read in the many threads about this, you are now stuck on the update, no going back, there is a root method in the works right now, maybe released already, keep searching the general thread, there is something on the root. Sorry, but giving it to you straight, don't take it wrong. Always READ before you even look at doing something to your phone, I CAN NOT STRESS how important that is.
Good luck.
Thanks you.
Well, i figure you mean no harm, but your style of writing killed a part of me... My phone is still rooted though, as I said. Furthermore, it ISNT updated. I froze the updater before it fully processed. Thanks

In fact, this rom has features that I don't like. It says it removes carrier name and things like that. Some people experienced no wifi and no data. Is there not such a thing as just the new update with root. Minus all the custom features.

If you follow instructions, and check the OP add ons none of what you say will happen. Very fast,stable ROM. Learn what to do by reading..hell watch some YouTube videos...its not that difficult..if you don't like the ROM you can just nandroid back.

The people not getting wifi/data ARE NOT READING! PERIOD!
I have a new program I am starting...
1) Send me your phone, you pay shipping
2) I will load it for you (rom of your choice)
3) you pay for the shipping back
4) guess what, working.
Cost - priceless! - Not Cheap!

Check out CLEANrom 1.5. It is what I have and I think it might be something you are describing.

OTA question

There is a update that wants to download to my phone, one of the updates that will unroot your phone. The thing is driving me nuts popping up every 5 seconds. Is there a way to shut that thing off??
Thanks

There is a way just to give you some hope. You have to remove something. I think it might be SDM. But I'm not sure.

There just has to be an easier way than to take the update, run Odin to reroot, then reflash Superuser. That was my only point. I will do all that if I have too
I see your In IA. I don't see neighbors on here too often. :laugh:

Whats the easiest way to root a i337 with mk2 4.3?

I have a at&t i337 s4 with android 4.3 mk2 & I need to root it so I can get my safestrap going for my custom rom of choice..I lost root & last time I was running 4.2.2 & used kingo root..I tried that today but it was only good up to 4.2.2 not 4.3 from what I gathered..so whats the quickest easiest way for me to root now? I've done some research but found alot of confusing & conflicting results so thought I'd just ask here on xda where I've never been done wrong..thanks
