The Verizon update is about to happen. I just rooted my phone and installed safestrap. What do I need to do to get update. Do I need to unlock phone to get update? If so does kingo uproot.
One more question. When I am typing on my note 3 and I put in a word that the dictionary does not recognize. It does not let me put it in until I pass it and then go back to correct it.

Could you reboot it two more times to verify it still uses that boot screen? Sometimes you gotta reboot with the revalidated binary.

You need to go to the "General" section and read the threads that already exist about the OTA... your questions are already answered in them. Good luck.
Basically, if you took the OTA, kies is your only hope to get back to AMDL firmware right now. If kies doesn't work, you are SOL. But, like I said, all of this has already been discussed in the other threads.
Does anyone know if there's a legit way to root s4 i337 MK2? I keep getting conflicting info.
I tried Kingo Root yesterday. So far it seems to be working great. During the process, I received several pop ups to install software that was considered potentially harmful. I cancelled each install and was still able to gain successful root. While prices was simple and took about 5 minutes.

In the mf3 thread they said kingo is not recommended. Is there a reason it's not? I used kingo on mf3 and if it works on mk2 without problems I'd like to use again as I don't need custom recovery or roms. But I'm afraid of att updating again and it screwing my phone,

Jeesh. It worked so well too. Wish it could be reversed engineered to see what they did to root.
To answer your question, No there is no verified safe method to root MK2 if you are not already rooted prior to update.

Do you know if anyone is working on a root for this update?
Kingo works for MK2. I can confirm it worked with no added instability or apparent issues on the 2 I337 devices I've messed with. But is it reliable? Well, it does send your IMEI to a Chinese server for some unknown reason. You can try Vroot if you want but it's definitely not as 'user friendly' if you catch my drift.

XDA evidently considers Kingo malware, so no link from here. But just type "kingo galaxy s4 root" into Google and it should be the top result. Their website states that it is for the i9500, but it has been confirmed for the i337. As always, USE THIS PROCEDURE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
We have a safe new root method if you guys want to try it. This is confirmed working on the VZW S4 but should work for you guys too. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48392009

I'm trying to get it to work im on MK2 stock....I'm at work though so i'll report back if I get it done.
I just got my Note 3 the other day and before that I wanted to Root it and I didn't know that there was an update and I foolishly updated it. Is there a way that I can go back to M19, or is there a root for MJ7 and I just can't find it. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Google "kingo root" For future reference please use the search function. This has been covered numerous times.
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!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
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.

HI everyone. I think i accidentally installed the wrong firmware on my att sgh-i337 GS4. I'm not positive but that's what I think will happen. Appears that it is not rooted as I ODIN keeps failing. Also wireless does not work so I cannot get any internet connection to work. I just want to get back to ANYTHING usable. KIES does not see my device. Please help me get back to anything. I was trying to help a friend with his phone and ended up in this state so I want to get it back to him working in anyway. I've done a few of these and never had this much trouble. Help please. Thanks.

Awesome! Fixed! Thank you a million. Now, what's the proper way to root this device at this point? I spent at least an hour reading about how to root the sgh-i337 with 4.4.2 which it appears this phone is now running. I don't want to go through that mess again. If you could provide me this step now I would really appreciate it. Again, can't thank you enough.

Okay I will try that again. I did use that first last time and it would appear rooted based on the root checker app then I would reboot and it would say it's not rooted. Additionally things that required root said the phone wasn't rooted.

I know I"m killing you here but i'm treading lightly based on my last experience. The NC1 update I found is only 20mb. Not a full build obviously. The thread says this:
"irst you need to odin back to stock NB1, and then flash the NC1 update in stock recovery.
NC1 update zip can be found here.
