From what I read AT&T pulled the update because it had "Problems". So ATM there's no OTA.

Starting at the MF3 point in this thread helped me. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2526964
The OP has a link to download the update and side load it. I was able to install off my sd card through stock recovery. I detailed somewhere towards the end of the thread how I did it. It was off topic however. Feel free to ask questions. I will try to consolidate a good how to a little later tonight.

Raidel00 has a thread opened up for mf3 to mj9. I don't know how successful his thread has been since I used the other method (link) you posted and it worked fine for me. But don't you just have to side load it through adb or through SD card? Since your on mf3 you dont have to download the mf3 partial file that I had to download since I was on mj6 correct?

This is correct. Just download the update file, rename to a zip and side load through adb or use recovery to install.

About to try this with my ATT S4 with MF3 and report.
If you do have troubles still when your phone boots and you are rooted use a file explorer to look at the log files in /cache/recovery to see where it failed.
This is how I installed my MJ9. I had a modified feature.xml file.

hi ted...updated my drivers, used your link to get the newest odin...now here comes the dumb stuff...seriously, i am 57 and i could have auditioned for "dumb and dumber" so here goes..
i see all the files...the .tar files.. if i do not download the "all in one", do i download and use the three other .tar files? (stockrecovery, stockmodem and boot? or do i just use one? my goal s to have 4.3 and a rooted phone. am i able to save all my apps and data using titanium backup with no fear of losing all my stuff?
thanks for repeating what is probably here somewhere and i could figure out if i took a few days..

Choose only one. ... If u use 4 files then u need to place it according to image on post #2...... Each file goes to each Odin slot. ...... but if u choose all in one file then only place it on PDA slot from Odin. The others separate files from post#3 use it only if you soft bricked and want to replace certain file ( recovery, boot or modem).Both 4 files and all in one files would wipe your data and apps..... It would take you straight to stock MK2 firmware.

MK2 being 4.3? it seems to me, the easiest riute is the all in one, although it is huge..i can always delete it after use of course.
from what i understand, even after a wipe, i can reinstall titanium backup and get all my data and apps back or is there a better way? member, dumber here...
and, stock MK2... is there a link to rooting this after i do the upgrade ? i like a rooted phone..i unlocked the bootloader on my atrix , i guess more as an act of defiance than knowing wtf i was doing...
so now with my S4, i hope to resolve the freeze and wi-fi issues...i had no such problems with my S3..and of course i want to attain root.
thanks!

Alright this may be a little bit of a long one, but I'm hoping I can provide as much information as I can to get as much help from you guys as possible. Now you'll have to bare with me. I'm not new to technology, but am new to rooting.
I have a Galaxy S4 US Version ATT I337 running 4.3 Base-band I337UCUEMK2. I've had it since the day they came out, and finally got too board with it, decided to root and look into a custom ROM. I rooted using the saferoot file listed below (I would link the tutorial/instructions I followed but I can't seem to find the link again..). Root works great, I get SuperSU and can use root access on apps like EZ Manager, Rom Manager, etc. So that's great.
I then decided I wanted a custom ROM. I've decided it's a tie between Miui and CyanogenMod.I figured I'd give MIUI a shot first because it's looks like a "cleaner" "newer" version. Either way, it's what I decided. I followed this tutorial here
http://en.miui.com/thread-4712-1-1.html
Now I realize that's for the 19505 firmware, but I read a few places (here included that the 19505 version works clean on the I337.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335079
I boot into recovery (Hold Volume Up+Power+Middle Button) and select boot from sdcard after I moved it over. It wipes all the data on the phone, then gives me an error stating something about signature verification (I can't give the exact, it happens pretty fast). Not a problem, just a bad file or download (even though I got it from the miui site). So I tried different download links, and different versions all with the same issue.
I figure, screw it miui isn't going to work. I'll try CyanogenMod. Same exact issue.
After a little more research, I find that CWM is the recovery program. So I look into it being an issue with that. I find that Rom Manager is the best way to get the most up to date CWM. Inside of Rom Manager v5.5.3.7 it says I'm using 6.0.4.4 ClockworkMod Touch. Well this brings up what I THINK might be the issue, and kind of confusing. The recovery I'm using isn't touch.. and it looks nothing like some of the images I see come up with CWM 5x or 6x, and has a lot less options that some people are saying I should have (ignore signiture verification blah blah blah) all I really get is to install from different places, or to wipe cache and factory reset.
So I figure great.. CWM is broken, screw that one too.
Let's get GooManager and try TWMP. Download it, Settings>Install OpenRecoveryScript blahblahblah. Click on reboot recovery, and this is another odd part. It doesn't boot into recovery, it boots into Odin Download mode. But not just boots into it, it boot loops it. I can get out of the boot loop by forcing it to shut down, then enter Odin Download myself, but instead of volume up, choose volume down to cancel restart phone, then it restarts normal. But if I just shut down, then power back on it boot loops it again. And now I can't get into CWM at all, which kinda sucks.
So as you can see, I've got quite a few different issues going on, and all I want it Miui or CyanogenMod. Ha.
Anyways, instructions? Suggestions? Help? I appreciate everything you provide, and thank you in advance.

Actually.. looks like I'll have to wait until I get home. File is too large to download at work, bandwidth would all be stolen and I'd hear people complain. Anything over 500MB I try to stay away from...
So when I get home I can give it a shot, and I'll update you on what I found.
Thanks again mate.
Okay my first question on this process...
On the MK2 Unbrick Method. Is says to use the Mk2 Update.zip then follow the instructions posted by gtj0. But I'm not seeing a link for update.zip.

Or should I use the I337MK2stockrecovery.tar.md5 file?
Next question.. should I use the mf3-emergency-part-1.tar.md5.7z/mf3-emergency-part-2.tar.md5.7z files or is there a mk2 version?
Okay update:
That first tutorial worked perfect with Odin. No boot loop/brick. Still got root and all root related apps/normal apps and info.

What firmware did your device have installed? MF3, MK2? You'll have to use odin if on MF3, or the mk2 unbreakable zip if you're on mk2.

There's only safestrap 3.65 and 3.71. In the future read more, because safestrap is only capable of running touchwiz roms, not cyanogenmod. This has to do with the kernel. Now that you flashed to stock slot your recovery is borked. Do what he said above.

What firmware did your device have installed? MF3, MK2? You'll have to use odin if on MF3, or the mk2 unbreakable zip if you're on mk2.

There you go. If you had 4.3 mk2 you should be able to recover.

Copy it to the root of your SD card. Reboot into recovery mode (tutorials are out there) and apply update.zip

I have about the same problem. I recently rooted my phone then downloaded a root required app. After the download, it made me reboot and now I'm stuck in a boot loop with stock recovery mode and download mode. I've tried everything I can since I'm limited to only using a mac. Please help ASAP. Thanks.
