FLASH new MF9? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I've an L720 on 4.2.2 getting MF9 OTA. I'm rooted and have TWRP 2.6 on it.
Don't believe I can install this update, but is there a way to flash or fastboot it on?
What are my options?

You'll probably get more help posting this in general. Not in development. That's not what this forum is for.

What should I do?

So I just flashed the 'Premium GS4' ROM to try it out and all of a sudden I get the MF4 system update notice. It wasn't telling me that before on my stock ROM, but now it is.
Should I update to it or just flash back? I wanted to try out the Blu Kuban ROM anyway.

I think you mean MF9 system update notice. This is probably because the update may have just been pushed out to the phones in your area.
Not many ROMs posted are updated to MF9 yet so you may get this on any MDL ROM you flash - I'm guessing that the Premium GS4 ROM is.
Do NOT update, since you are on a custom ROM it will fail and could cause some file errors.

Nandroid Question

Right now I'm on MDL using Blu-Kuban ROM. I plan on trying to upgrade to a MF9 ROM. If I then use a nandroid restore of my current MDL ROM, It will revert me back to MDL correct?
Thanks!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm prettyy sure it will... except for your baseband which will stay MF9.
Also questions go in Q&A buddy, expect this to be moved very soon.
Nope the nan droid will not taken you back to MDL. The firmware will remain mf9 along with the modem. You shouldn't have a problem switching back and forth though.

[Q] I'm fortunately still unlocked, now which recovery do I use?

I was lucky enough to catch the MF3 update way back when and rooted to stop it, but I'm just now getting around to putting a rom and recovery on it. There's understandably a lack of posts about any recovery other than the Safestrap, and TWRP won't download from Goo Manager (looks like download is missing) From what I understand, safestrap isn't ideal for unlocked S4's.
So my question is, what version of TWRP should I be using, and does anyone have a link to it?

So you are on MDL? There are many posts about custom recoveries for S4s with MDL. The sticky "pinned" threads in the General section list them. If you are on MF3, safestrap is your only current option.

Man, I'm sorry. I don't know why, but I thought to check everything but the general section. I was searching for posts but since they were all from august I wasn't sure.
Thanks.

Rooted with TWRP 2.6 want to update

... to the latest MF9 which is flashing every so often on the phone.
I'm assuming I download and fastboot the latest firmware (which I can not find), which wipes it clean, re-install TWRP and then what for root?
This is an L720, 4.2.2.

Try not to ask questions in the development section of any forum. These are not the forums you're looking for, the L720 forums are here:

Sorry, will do.

Install TWRP or CWM etc on I337 NB1

Is there anyway to install TWRP on locked bootloader this time?
Not MDB or MDL anymore.
Thanks
How is this a developer discussion in any way shape or form?
