I know having a custom recovery and updating is asking for bad news, but I am on stock with root, if I take this update while rooted, should I expect problems or anything?

I'm rooted only and the 10q update hasn't effected me at all - all root app still work. I think some folks reported issues with their root after the 10o update but I also was ok after that.

Do you have any apps frozen? Or CarrierIQ disabled?

Carrier IQ service is disabled via Disable Service app, but I don't think I've frozen anything in Titanium.

This latest update from 14th Feb is 15MB. I guess that's the one you're asking about. If so, my phone was never prompted to "accept" the OTA update. It just updated by itself without my consent. But other folks have said it will forcefully update after declining 3 times. After update my phone was stuck in TWRP bootloop. But don't worry there is a perfect solution for that as well, if that's what happens to you.
Totally upto you if you wanna take the update or not, no changes on the user experience at all.

That's the one I am talking about. I'm not too worried about the update, just if my phone would be borked if updated with root, but no TWRP/CWM. I haven't been prompted for it, I was just asking for my own knowledge, and like you said, there is a solution for it should something happen.

Not really sure if it will affect if you don't have any recovery installed. I had TWRP. Just so you know, the solution I am talking about is via TWRP.

My wife's phone just said there is a new update available. I did not let it install. Anyone else get this update alert?
Not yet, no ota or via kies. I'm on Rogers, i know it's not ATT but since the S2, we had all updates a few days before ATT which is the sister company in the US and nothing here yet. Can you check and see if is this long awaited update samsung started rolling out 2 weeks ago?
I have AT&T version of S4 and did not get any update notice and nothing shows up on check updates.

Well, from what I've been reading it's possible in addition to the update, they may be trying to patch Loki, which is why I was hesitant. I was messing with it to get rid of the lock icon/custom boot up. I tried flashing the stock Rom with Odin but it only seemed to flash on top of the Rom already installed. Then once it boot up, the update management thing kicked in. It's possible it was just triggering the first update we got a few weeks back, and not a new one.

If this isn't about the "BMEA" update, please have it deleted or locked. Another Update thread that isn't about an update isn't helping anyone. Nothing personal, but people need to confirm what they are posting about before they post about it.
people also need to stop acting like moderators.
How am I going to verify it, if I haven't installed it yet? If it indeed was the new update with a patch for Loki, I am not the one who wants to flash it first.

I usually don't take OTA updates if I have any plans of rooting or keeping root.
U.S. localized versions of the latest MEA/MF2 branch of Samsung official builds.
Check over in the i9505 threads for more info. It's possible some things have been tweaked for AT&T, but probably not a whole lot.
That update will probably allow app2sd functionality, not to mention the "purple smearing" effect some have complained of, and a few other little updates.
But as the other poster said, I wouldn't flash it until it's confirmed that it doesn't patch the loki aboot exploit. Otherwise, you can say goodbye to custom roms and root.

Unfortunately the update is FORCED. In mine there was no way to not accept it. If you hit cancel it just reboots and installs anyway. So not much choice on not taking it...
It does include app2sd though. Which is nice.

Only forced if you're completely stock and un-rooted.
At a bare minimum, you should root, and freeze the appropriate OTA update apps to prevent that kinda thing.
Again, AT&T will eventually patch the loki-exploit, and possibly at the same time roll out "root defeating" kernels.
It's just a matter of time.
There isn't an option but to be completely stock and unrooted with this phone yet unfortunately.

God dang it! I wish I read this thread BEFORE accepting the update. Now I really hope AT&T or Samsung has not patched anything that prevent root.
I cannot NOT use Wifi since I have very limited data plan...
Has it ever happen in the past, at least with AT&T phone, that they send OTA update that PREVENT rooting the phone EVER?
Don't fret. We have some mighty fine developers here. You will be able to root it.

LCD screens don't suffer from the purple smearing anyway. That's just something that AMOLED screens do. No way around it except to change the colors a bit. Which was all they did for the GS4.

I never took the update (I didn't connect to wifi so it didn't force me to update) but now I want to update it. However, when I hit the update button it tells me that 'the software update was interrupted' and won't download the new FW. If I hit it again it says I have to wait another 24 hrs. I tried changing the date to a day ahead but it still failed. I was able to update the wifes phone no problem but I accepted it as soon as it notified me.
Is the above link the current FW? I see the name is UCUAMF1 but mine came with UCUAMF2 from the store... I'd rather just update the FW since it appears everyone else got forced to update but can still root it.
Edit: Phone fixed itself overnight connected to wifi.

I'm not sure why you think you need to freeze after rooting...like rooting is going to cause the OTA! If I had a phone that was vulnerable to MF3 OTA I'd pull out the SIM card and turn off wifi so it had no way to download anything...IMMEDIATELY! Before I even turned it on!
I'd then root it with motochopper and sideload Titanium Backup to freeze the files before allowing any data connections.

You can use Root Uninstaller to freeze 2 apps that have to do with OTA. It's free.
Im confused, are the American carriers pushing the OTA to devices without the authorization from the user?
When I first got this device (while i was reading and getting myself up to speed on the rooting process) the OTA notification would pop up, i would select postpone for 4 hours and do the same when the next notification popped. To be safe would power down at night...
Did that for 2-3 days with no issue...

Mine shipped with MDL right from AT&T. All I did when I got it was take out the SIM before I first powered on the phone. Set up the device, wifi, Google account etc, Then I rooted, and installed TWRP to make a full backup. Then I installed SHOStock.
If one plans to install a custom ROM, there is no need to freeze the OTA apps. Only freeze them if you plan on staying stock with root. Root is available on MF3 but is not recommended. If you screw up, you're screwed yourself as there is currently no way to recover.

First, plug phone into computer, and install updater software from the phone that is on the device in 'Installer Mode'. Take the download on the PC, then follow directions below, and you can still have root after.

Hi again,
I installed the upgrade assistant in installer mode but for some reason it is not picking up the new NE9 update on my computer. See attached print screen. Very strange.. It sees the update on my phone to download though.:cyclops: Do you know why this is and how I can get it to see the update on the upgrade assistant as you mentioned?
Kind Regards
Can you explain why you want the update so bad? You do realize that rooting and accepting official otas is completely contradictory, correct? OTAs are generally what fix things like what towelroot exploits. If you accept official OTA, you will likely lose root.
But can't I just re root after the ota? I guess the reason I want the Ota because I heard of camera enhancements and stability fixes

No. OTA have patches for known security flaws as well. The flaw that towelroot relies on is closed after the new OTA. Meaning, no more root.
edit: in this case I believe folks have figured out a work around for keeping root with the update. In general though, if you value root and what it provides you do not accept official releases.

Thank you both for your perspectives.. Plus, I can always just wait for a ROM that currently has the update installed.
