I have rooted my S4 and was wondering wether I could update to KitKat 4.4??

Is it available for the S4 and can I update my rooted fone with it?
Or will have to install a custom ROM?
Please help.

Hi.
Kitkat 4.4 is not available yet as currently Samsung just release is 4.3.
So, u will not expect 4.4 soon.
U have been answered before on yr other thread.

you can update to kitkat but for that wait for it
also if you have rooted then you can try ota root keeper or have to flash 4.4 through odin when available

[Q] What is jfltespr?

I am looking to get the Offiical Cyanogen Mod ROM for the Sprint galaxy s4, but it says I need "jfltespr" what is this? I am currently rooted and have a custom ROM, Sacs rom V 5.0. Here are screenshots of my "About phone"

Basically I want to get an AOSP ROM, I don't mind if it's Cyanogen Mod, I'm actually going to ask another question: What AOSP Rom would you recommend, and does it require "jfltespr" if so how do I get that? Thanks, sorry for being such a noob d:

Jfltespr is just a code name. It is the sprint Galaxy S4. it had me confused when I downloaded slimkat.

Thanks! So can I download any AOSP Rom? Or do they only work on specific firmware's? I think I have MK2, do all AOSP roms work on MK2?

I still have mf9 firmware on my phone. I haven't updated it to mk2. I haven't had any issues. I am running a dual boot of sacs custom 5.2 touchwiz and the latest slimkat aosp weekly rom.
So I guess to answer, they should be compatible either way. Maybe not with pre mf9 firmware but I can't confirm that. I haven't really found a reason yet to update to mk2 modem but I've only owned this phone for 3 days.

I took the MJA update and have the MK2 modem...and all the AOSP ROMs 4.3 and up work. I just cannot use any below 4.3

you can't unlock it. If you have MDL firmware you can use an exploit but if you are on MK2 of MF3 its completely locked down

[Q] kitkat root now wifi n hot spot not work? ?

I updated to kitkat today after I unrooted then I used odin v1.85 n the tar.md5 file for rooting the rooting went fine but everytime I try to kick in wifi or hot spot it says" your phones security has blocked an action..."???
Also my baseband is mk2 n my buildnumber is nae

Little more background info after updating I tried to put the nae hotspot mod into my framework n backed up my old ones by putting .bak n restarted the phone n the hotspot nor wifi worked so I removed the modded ones n put back the stock n tried that still didn't work n then unrooted n tried again n neither of the two work I can use any advice that is given Thanks

Just wondering if you thought about flashing the hotspot mod instead of pushing the files yourself.

Yeah I did but at this point I just want to get my wifi working even without root cause it's not working currently n I'm unrooted n which number do we look at for the hotspot mod the build number or the other one

You need to start from scratch, you say you updated to Kit Kat after unrooting?? The reason why your phone isn't working properly is your update didn't complete properly. You have mismatches in your software version and baseband. Did you update with the OTA file or did you install one of the semi custom roms from the development section. Anyway, the wifi problem is probably a mismatch between your baseband and your kernel. Sense your software is NAE and your baseband is MK2 I don't know which hotspot you should use. Straighten out your install first and then you should have working wifi and hotspot.

Well how do I start from scratch to be honest I used the the supersu unroot tool cause mine was stock but rooted but then I hit the install icon in my notification window n it started installing the update n it succeeded n it says I'm on kit kat but software and basband version are on mk2 n my build number is nae ?

Then the update failed. You could try to Odin the NAE modem files but that might not fix you. If it was me, I would try to Odin the stock mk2 file and see if it completes. If it fails, then your bootloader was upgraded to NAE and you won't be able to go stock. If it completes, then you should be fully mk2 again and you can try the ota and hopefully it succeeds this time.if it succeeds everything should show NAE.

"We are do I bet the stock mk2"? I hope you're asking where do you get stock mk2 tar file. If so its in the development section by random45

There are plenty of threads with information in the general section, including a thread convienently named All Things MK2 And NB1. Make sure to check that and read more before asking questions unless you're on an I337m, in which case you can disregard anything I've said ;P
