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!

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.

KitKat actually and truly really absolutely is available. Typing this from the official AT&T release. Not to mention all the threads about it.

Because your phone is being used on T-Mobile, your update will come from T-Mobile. Pretty sure that is what the axman was saying. I had a tmo phone on att at one point and got my updates from att....
I'm not sure how that works for our device, so you may not get an update at all from Tmo. But yes in general your update would come from tmo.

I haven't gotten the update either. I'm on an ATT i337 running Tmo SIM. Kies still says I'm current, and I've tried changing my phone's date to August 1st and still no update. If I'm on an ATT phone but using Tmo, will the OTA update work from Settings?

I appreciate the reference to the other thread, but I really don't want to spend the time jumping through those hoops. I'm hoping for an easy firmware update now, then a root method sometime down the line.

then keep an eye out on http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares for an MF3 tar release. once it drops you can flash via odin without root access
I'm confused. Will I receive the update through Settings->About Device->Software Update, or will I have to update it through Kies?
EDIT: Just noticed that I can't check for an update for another 1269 hours!!!

correct me if i'm wrong here.. i thought i read from that it's best not to do OTA updates if your usage preferences rely on root and/or custom roms and kernels.. i only use odin because from what i understand, that is usually the safest way to fully wipe and restore/upgrade/downgrade mobile devices running android. am i wrong? curious.
I rooted MF3 and all I have is root, is there anyway I can return back to stick with complete restore? If not, I can just back everything up. I will do it no matter what. My phone is working just fine, just wanted to go back to stock?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
If you mean unroot, then you unfortunately cannot do that at the moment. There is no MF3 factory image to flash back to, as of now at least.

What do you mean, back to stock? The way it came out of the box? The way it is now unrooted? Not sure what you want to do. And how are you backing it up?
Apps don't matter to me. I can send all my pictures and text messages etc. To the computer. I mean unroot, sorry. But since there isn't any, I will just have to wait it out. Thanks for the information.

It's probable that you can unroot. Do you have super su? You can do an unroot in settings within it.

I've never tried it with mf3 so I can't answer that. It works on other firmware. Why do you want to unroot?
Because, I've always had bad luck with root and everything never works for me when I try it. Once a stable rom comes out, I will try my luck, but not at this moment.

Good choice. Sorry I can't be of more help
I don't think just rooting is going to cause issues. Keep it and enjoy those benefits for now.
My BackUp Pro is good for backing up most things on phone. Of course you got Titanium BackUp too.
I didn't even want to flash roms on this phone. After years of doing it I was getting tired. But, did it anyway. I like TW, so don't care about aosp etc. All I really gained from flashing was some theming and nandroids. Phone, I thought, was exceptional even unrooted.
There is now stock available which was taken from Samsung Kies. Just download the file and you'll be able to flash it in odin!

Looks like the update is rolling out. Guessing this should not break the root exploit for non dev editions correct? If one is currently rooted, they would have to return 100% to stock so stock recovery is there for the OTA update to successfully install. And then re-root?

I'm wondering how I can get the update. I bought the phone from Rogers, but use it with Bell. I'm not on the Rogers network, so I'm sure I can't get the update OTA from Rogers. I'm hoping there's a rom or kernal or something I can flash/install.

Shouldn't matter. The update doesn't come from YOUR provider, the device's ROM is designed so that it pulls from Rogers' servers. When Rogers releases the update, you'll get it.
