Does "etc etc" include ignoring forum rules by bumping your own post after a ludicrously short time? No? Maybe it's some kind of insider knowledge about "official 4.4 rom", which doesn't exist? No, not that either.. How about learning to search yourself? Apparently not.
Carry on then master.. Jeez.

Hello guys!
I've got samsung galaxy s4 i337 unlocked ((mf3))
When I bought it they told me that I cant root it or I will lose it
Can you help me?
Did you search at all for an answer? Try that and I'm sure you'll find it.
Ok, here's a hint, Google "root method mf3 xda"

If you cant find out how to root a the device than you probably shooting be attempting to root it at all. If that's what you mean by did it work for you.
Not to be mean but a huge clue/hint was given to you. Go back and look in the Q&A section. There is a sticky that can help.

Just curious to hear what people are currently running on their S4. I just noticed it looks like 4.3 update is finally available for ATT so might just flash that for now.

Using stock 4.3 mk2.

Is mk2 good? I thought I read something negative about it somewhere... And was that the one where once you update to that you can't revert?

You can't revert once you're past MF3. MK2 has been working just fine for me, the only negatives are you don't get ROMs or recovery, neither TWRP/CWM or SafeStrap. Also, they removed the network data toggle which does suck.
You mean from the drop down where you can just flick it on/off? I don't use that one too much but I know what you mean...hate when I lose toggles I was using before.
But No ROMs or recovery?? Is that just cause it's pretty new? Seems surprising

I'm using Gummy 4.4.2 and it's working awesome!
Well, this thread is being closed as "everyone" is a subjective term, there are plenty of ROMS for many users that many are using.
This question can only be answered by the individual user? Try all the roms over in the development threads - that is why we are here, and the fun part of the journey.
My phone is rooted so i might not get 4.4 update.
I have downloaded 4.4.2 for i9500 but i don't know how to put it to my phone as i have rooted my first phone.
Can any one guide me how to flash it to my phone?
Using odin. There is a lot of guides on the web

For the root, you will have to do it again. It's not a problem.
For Knox, make your own opinion
And read, read, read the topics

AFAIK, there are none. It is only that you have some Russian apps preinstalled on the system. You can remove them anyway.

this answer is crap...
Try to flash the new firmware with repartition and the right pitfile. That will do a full wipe and a clean install. I have had the same issues, tried a lot of things and nothing was helping me... This solution works for me and Knox wouldn't trip!
best regards

Flashing any official firmware - so long as it's same as you have got or an upgrade - won't trip KNOX. - If you try to downgrade to different versions you encounter KNOX issues.

You can not downgrade!
Try to see what is holding wakelocks - possibly stuff like the indexer/finder service that is "kept in a loop" by certain files (for instance unusual PDFs or video/audio).
Also see if you can disable some of the things going on the network in the background.

Pls Don’t misguide the people, forum has many newbies.
Hi i was just wondering if there has been a root method for the 4.4.2 OTA update. I updated a few weeks back and have been dying for root access.
The baseband version is N900VVRUCNC4.
Thanks in advance!

Like I said. Oughta sticky one of these so there aren't 8 million threads asking the same question.

Think there's any possibility we'll get it? I would hate to have to sell this device and move on
Im sure there will be in time?
Would we be able to downgrade thru Odin and then root and then flash rooted version of 4.4.2?

Doubt it...most of the devs that might be capable moved on from Verizon and really do not care. The reason being soon as a exploit is found and released it then is patched by the next update. It's a cat and mouse game not worth playing. There are methods out there that allow you have rooted 4.4.2, The sticky at the top of this section explains it all. "Never Accept OTA Updates".

No The Verizon N3 is model N900V and this article deals with the UK model N900
Also, in the UK the status of the Knox warranty counter doesn't matter. In the US it does.
