Never seen that - ever.
Must be something with the ROM/Kernel you had/have.
If you have a stock Sprint phone and use CF-Autoroot it will not say 'rooted' it just will be.

Care to be a bit more specific?

How do I update just the bootloader?

I saw someone mention that freeza had a zip but I can't seem to find it. Thanks

What do you mean update the boot loader? I've never seen anyone ask this for a sprint phone. You can update , baseband and kernels which is usually what freeza has.

I dont think freeza is working on sprint gs4. If you want stock material, read the dev section for posts by crawj.

Freeza moved to T-Mobile when the S4 came out.

4.3.1

Has the original nexus 7 had an official update to4.3.1 because I can't find the stock rooted rom if so. And if it did was there a boot loader change? Thanks

Can I just flash ota

Im on free gs4 3.0 (4.2.2) mf9 base very stock like but I want to return my phone for insurance and it cant be rooted so can I just flash ota without damage? I dont really have access to a computer so it would be much easier to just flash mk2 and of I can is there a particular way I should go about it?

NO.
You have to download mf9 tar and Odin that. You could dowblaod the tar file to your phone and use it with mobile Odin on the phone.

Looks like you're right. I had seen that the latest update fixed some issues with 4.3 GS4 but looks like its only the GSM variant.

Wait you're on MF9.are you sure mobile Odin doesn't work on it? I knew there were problems with 4.3.
You're phone wouldnt even accept the OTA if you are on rooted custom recovery.

You said you're on MF9. there's no way you could have the MK2 OTA as you would have to take MJA OTA before. You can't skip OTAs from my knowledge.
Yeah it shouldnt as OTAs check for modified stock files which will be in a custom ROM. Failing the install during recovery install.

Ok then its probably mja I just thought it was mk2 , can I ota mja?

You might be able to if you get stock recovery and stock ROM while rooted. Not 100% sure.
