Error on Install of Kit Kat 4.4

Hi guys. I'm having trouble installing Kit Kat via OTA. I haven't received the notification that it was ready but when I clicked Check now in System updates yesterday, it popped up but it said it was only available through WiFi until today. Now my WiFi connection is slow so I manually changed the date in order to download it through 4G LTE. After it downloaded, I hit the Reboot and Install button and it went into Recovery to install only to stop about halfway through and change the Android from standing up to laying down with a Red Triangle above his stomach and it said Error. I rebooted my phone and was back to where I was on 4.3 so I proceeded to try and download the update again this time the date went ahead another day (27th) and again only through WiFi until then, so anyway I tried again and still the same error. I'm on Stock 4.3 with Stock Recovery, unlocked Bootloader and Rooted. Note that I was on the latest TWRP but I flashed the Stock Recovery from the thread that says how to get back to stock everything before attempting this. Any help will do, thanks.

Is your bootloader still unlocked? If so try to relock it. Your best bet might be downloading the stock zip file and flashing it through twrp.

Yeah it's still unlocked but guess what, it's too late for me to try to lock it and try again because I just checked under System updates and it's no longer there even when I click Check now, SMH LOL this is weird man. I guess I'll try flashing the stock zip, but aren't there people experiencing errors when they flash it through a custom recovery?

That's what I did with my girlfriend's nexus 4. You might just be better off flashing a rooted zip. It's totally up to you though. Just depends on if you want root

Hello, at&t has pulled the update due to glitches. Some people reported that their phones wouldn't even turn on. Also you can't update your at&t galaxy s4 on Kies because at&t put a block on that... The reason they did that is so they can add all of their NSA crapware to your phone and lock it so you can't modify it as easy. If you really want 4.3 I would install a custom ROM. I'm still on 4.2.2 rooted. 4.3 isn't all that good anyway. Nothing new.

Um... Did you set it back?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Yes . Only because I kept going forward with no luck. So I put it back to the normal date.
Is there a way to hit that reset button on att software update settings. It appears greyed out.

I did the same thing as you set it to 2015 and it let me look for updates, but it says update interrupted. Idk why but yeah. Maybe because I'm rooted idk. I wasn't updating anyway until a root method came out for mk2. Hopefully you can get it. If not take it to Best Buy and they can hook you up.

Hmm... That's weird. Have you tried clearing the cache?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

i just checked mine and it still says i have to wait over 24hrs, so even tho my time and date are back to normal the update software still picks up when i fast forwarded my time/date. just a thought here, but i think the only way to reset that could be to flash back to stock with odin, but you would lose all data doing this. so its either probably doing that or keep trying to fast forward your time and checking.

Why don't you adb sideload the update?

That's weird they don't have it... I just got the update notification after I defrosted the att update app thing with titanium. I'll update when there's a root method.

Losing service constantly - cannot get LTE

I've been doing searches for a while and I haven't been able to figure out why this is going on. I was on Kangabean and just recently started losing service once in a while and had a hard time getting LTE. I upgraded to the latest Kit Kat version of the same rom and updated my baseband a few times using different ones and although it has improved, I'm still in the same boat. What I'm wondering is if this is an issue with the rom or if it is with hardware.

You have to have the 4.3 modem on 4.4 to get rid of the data drops. Also make sure you have your APN settings correct. PTA seems to be the best one for LTE. Google will help with finding that.

I've had the PTA settings forever now. They're still my default. How do I go about getting the 4.3 modem on 4.4? What would I use?

Just look up rock ratt's post. He has all of the 4.3 modems set up as flashable zips. ?

Did that and got the modem. Service issues are okay now, but I every time I select LTE as network mode, it somehow ends up switching back to 3G

Lost cellular data on stock rom slot (HELP!!!)

Hello All,
So, I successfully installed safestrap on my rooted gs4 with MK2. I was able to install hyperdrive rls12 and was able to text and make calls. I tried fixing the wifi by flashing some modules and now I don't have any cellular data when booting back into the stock rom. baseband shows empty, no calls, texts etc.
I have no clue what to do and how I can fix it, nor how I managed to mess up the stock rom slot.
Please help.
Thanks

You will need to manually place the modules in /system/lib/modules, to get wifi to work.

Thanks Graydiggy,
Do I have to do this from safestrap or can I do it while having the phone booted into a rom?

Use a root Explorer in the ROM to do it. It may or may not work. Some phones are iffy.

I have es file explorer, but I get an error saying task failed. Read only or something. Don't have the exact error. can't rename, delete or move the original file.

Use Solid Explorer. I used to use ES but have found Solid to be ten times better.
