You can't update with the ota, it will fail. You need to bring your phone to stock mk2 first. Easiest way is to odin the mk2 stock tar file.

Hi...
I am a nexus user.. When a Google update comes out. I just look for rooted version of update and I install it. Or I install ota and reroot.
Now I have s4.. Rooted.. And cwm recovery. Mk6 is out... I Dont know what to do. I Dont want to erase my setup. Do I just wait for someone to post the update? Flash it with cwm or Odin? Do I unroot first or get a version that is rooted?
Any help to direct me with my options for upgrading so mk6 without losing cwm or root would be appreciated.
Thanks.

best option is to update the baseband using the modem file here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542043 which you install using Odin
then flash a 4.3 rom such as GE using CWM
this avoids any issues with the OTA or stock 4.3 firmware, retains cwm and root and gives you the functionality of 4.3
Thanks for the reply and info. Ok.. So modem I can follow instructions in the thread above. No problem. But where do I get mk6 flashable file? What is GE? I am currently on rooted samsung stock 4.2.2. Is GE a custom ROM? Normally when flashing a custom ROM u need to start clean as far as I read. Can I just update my stock with stock? Any one takes ota from samsung and adjust to prevent losing root and cwm?
Thanks

Just figured you mean Google edition .. I understand I can go Google (which needa wipe) but that is not what I am asking now. I would like to update my samsung image to mk6 (4.3 without wipe). If I wanted to go to Google image I would have updated long ago when 4.4 came out but I have been waiting for Samsung's update.
How do samsung rooted stock users update their phones?

Hi guys
Im trying to update my phone to kitkat.
The OTA update of AT&T doesnt even show there is an update .It says current softwae is up to date.
so i thought to put a stock rom via Odin.
Can i use the i9505rom from sammobile?

No, you can't flash the i9505 firmware. There are nb1 and mk2 tar files available. Look in the general forum

AT&T S4 SGH 1337 Apparently I can download an update OTA and Im already on 4.4.2 so is this 4.4.3 or something else. I dont want to update if it patches an exploit or adds more bloatware. I found nothing online talking about it so idk.
Could be 4.4.2 still with some minor patches but I hope you are right.

nb1 to nc1? If so there are several threads about it already, I'm not sure how you couldn't find anything about it. If your talking about an update above nc1, that could be new.

yeah its probably nc1 then. I was searching for "OTA S4 update 4.4.2" and found nothing. Is there an official list of updates somewhere so you know which does which?
Nc1 is 4.4.2 which I have had since it was released...when in downloaded it OTA there was several bugs...but when I flashed via Odin it corrected everything...this has been flawless on my s4 and have seen drastic improvement and so much faster

New i337 phone here. OTA update and I have plenty of bugs in the I337UCUFNC1 ROM. I can not Sync my contacts if any other sync is checked so I am forced to do all this manually and my battery life is terrible. If Flashing the NC1 rom seems to work with Odin, does anyone know of another working link for downloading the I337UCUFNC1 ROM?
side rant, I need to get these bloated AT&T apps off to . I am looking for some fix for this version of the rom.
1st post here so thanx to XDA forums, devs and members for this site.

Use Odin and flash either the MK2 or NB1 update, and then follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2680868 to get to rooted 4.4.

Where can I find the MK2 or NB1 Update? Is there one safer to update to than the other (as I see different instructions for each) ?
Thanks again!
MK2 is a little easier, since you won't have to downgrade. You can find links to both in the OP of the All things MK2 and NB1 thread under "return to stock".

MK2 is the last firmware version with an exploitable kernel that allows for a direct rooting method, e.g. saferoot. You can flash the MK2 Odin .tar in Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+): http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358541050
From there you can obtain stock, rooted, NC1(latest 4.4.2 firmware) by following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52167774&postcount=3
Hello,
I have samsung SGH I337 phone and its not rooted. I bought this phone in Sep 13 and unlocked with some code. Currently its stuck at 4.2.2. and I want to upgrade the phone to latest 4.4.* . As I unlocked the phone, this stopped getting update from ATT and dont show any available updates.
Can someone share the process to upgrade to latest kitkat ?
First, if you're on mdb or mdl firmware you might want to reconsider upgrading. If you are you have the ability to use twrp or cwm custom recoveries and easily flash roms
But if you still want to go ahead and update then flash the nb1 tar file in Odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50912149
This will wipe your device so backup anything on your internal sdcard. You will not lose the sim unlock.

My S4 build number is JDQ39.I337UCUAMDL.
Forgive my ignorance but can you tell me what is the significance of mdb or mdl firmware. Also does upgrading the Android would create any issues on my phone.
Need one more information on Kitkat version i.e. which kitkat version is stable and has no issues.

You're on mdl firmware. There are users here who would love to be on that firmware version. Being on mdl allows you to run custom recoveries. With newer firmware you can only use safestrap as a custom recovery which limits what you can flash.
Edit, once you go to nb1 firmware you will not be able to go back to mdl.
But you said you're not rooted and have not run custom recoveries. So if that is not important to you then flashing the nb1 firmware will up grade you to 4.4.2 kk.

If you upgrade to 4.4.4, and want to flash custom roms you'll have to use safe strap. If you keep 4.2.2 you can flash 4.4 roms also. I wouldn't recommend updating, but it's your choice.
