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.

@ks3rv3rg I believe the links mentioned above provide a workaround for the Root to be kept after updating.
As for the problem nick, I can't help you there. I haven't personally take it as I see taking OTA's is silly with a rooted phone you can modify to be much more. Perhaps someone else who has done it will chime in...

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

Thank you both for educating me on this. Ill try the work around to try to keep the root and update. I just wish I could get the Verizon update assistant to download the NE9. Either way Ill just wait for a ROM with the new OTA.

I think you are referring to my safestrap flashable OTA zip file. I'm going to keep that one in my back pocket for the next OTA since the kernel swap worked.

I'm happy to say I installed this rom and the firmware and it rocks!! Thank you .plus I got my download booster and my overclock settings!!

I have a similar question but reversed. How do I stop it from updating and it from asking me to update? I have the free version of titanium backup and can't freeze it. Is their another way? I can't turn off SDM that runs the ota upgrade i can only force stop it.

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.

Right. Thus my statement that we don't have a choice but to take the update on the S4 Active (right now at least).

It seems the update will only download on wifi, so if you want to avoid taking it in hopes that root comes out soon, do not use wifi.

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.

Hi friends, im kinda new at this i have an S4 active and i need to download the Custom rom to flash it again from factory its the AT&T version but the baseband says I537UCUAMF3 and i cant quite find were to download if from.

Verizon LG G2 System Update Available

Hi everyone,
I got a popup window notifying me about a system update that was ready to install on my Verizon LG G2. I chose not to install it, but it said I can install it later. I am rooted and I am not sure what this update is for, possibly a fix for the root exploits. Anyone else seeing this?
EDIT: Everyone is confirming that it does not break root, but if you have already installed TWRP then DO NOT ACCEPT THE UPDATE.

Please confirm that you did the system update and can still use root apps. Also, which root method did you use. Maybe they patched the Chinese method, but not the newer method yet!

The Newest recovery has ADB option and is considered safe for now. My point is that why would anyone accept an OTA when it is obvious that withing a short period of time there is not only going to be a fully fixed recovery plus Custom ROM's based on the latest Stock ROM with the OTA included. Once you Root and install recovery, you kiss the carrier and their attempts at "Updates" goodbye.

i haven't rooted yet, so i told it to install later. i'll root tonight so that i know i can have it, sounds like the update doesnt take root away, it could keep you from rooting if you arent yet tho..
Oh crap, did the update and it looks like I'm soft bricked(?). I can only get to TWRP, and can't reboot the phone (always goes back to TWRP, no matter what I do, even after Factory Reset). PLEASE HELP!!
(Verizon G2)
I'm not sure if I can attribute this to the ota update but my wifi performance has been really glitchy. Constant disconnect/reconnect.
I can't say it's due 100% to the ota because wifi will occasionally get spotty due to the sheer amount of wifi APs and traffic at my workplace.
Anyone else experience this? BTW I'm rooted.

You still have to confirm you want to update, so don't worry about it downloading the OTA.
And yes, you must buy it. I'm not going to talk about illegal stuff here.
And I'm sure it works, because I just said I did the same today. From 10a to 10f with a D802 international, I kept the root.
Even if you did lose root, who cares? Just run IOroot again and you have it back.

NEVER take an OTA if you do not have stock recovery!!
I'm afraid this is a hard lesson for you. Maybe flashing a .kdz will fix your phone.

I don't see any difference at all, it was already blazing fast.
So far I can see it added "Do you know?" and it moved the settings cogwheel in the notification area a little more to the left instead of it being centered. Haven't noticed anything else.

Well, in my device it fails and it says that it wont update because it's rooted! :|
I don't fell like erasing everything with the stock rom, just to do a minor update... When LG releases kitkat, I'll do it.
Or, is there any quick unrooting method that doesn't involve to erase the whole device?

You can try installing SuperSU from the Play Store, let it remove other root apps if it asks you to. Then in the settings you can tick full unroot. Maybe that works?
Otherwise don't bother updating and do it when KitKat is released like you said, I don't think this update is worth flashing a kdz.

It appears to be a boot.img update. Flashfire rejected it as a safe OTA and I proceeded to freeze System Updates with Titanium Backup to eliminate future notifications. A bootloader update for sure.
Hopefully someone can tell if it's locking the bootloader down to prevent downgrading or the bootloader unlock method. Is there a way to freeze the update prompts if I'm not rooted yet? Just got the phone and haven't had a chance to unlock and root this bad boy.

buy package disabler. it is well worth the $1 price tag
Use Debloater, then freeze SDM.apk.
Root not required, very easy.
No, it does not break Foxfi.

I don't even have an SDM, as it wasn't present on the ROM, however I found a post for shutting off Samsung updates that required shutting off two system update modules, and one or two other software and security modules. I'm beginning to think Samsung is in collusion with the carriers to make our phones obsolete, and prevent further mods. If you let me know how and where to upload to you, I can send you the file, if you still want it.
