Does anyone know where I can find the latest OTA?
The reason why I'm.looking for it is because I live outside the US and the phone don't update via OTA because the phone wasn't activated with a Verizon SIM, so the only method to update is via flashable OTA through the stock recovery.
I'm currently looking for the "G930VVRU4BQK4" OTA.
Im using the G930VVRU4ZPK4
I don't want to lose any of my data that's why I'm not using the ODIN method.
Thanks.

I was wondering if I was rooted (overclocked) and I didn't get the OTA update for Gingerbread, is there any way I could get the official T-Mobile Gingerbread OTA from another source?

If you are rooted, why would you want the OTA?
But yes, you can download it. Download the OTA now from the dev section. And just save it on your PC till you need it.
And when I'm ready to flash it do I go through Bootloader without root?

The official ROM is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074391
But if you flash this, you will lose root, and not be able to root w/o downgrading (same as the OTA).
This one is rooted, and probably what you want to flash. Flash from ROM Manager or Recovery:

In my notifications there is a new system update that it wants me to download that I can't get rid of. I am rooted using the motochopper method and was wondering if I can accept this ota? Will it brick my phone? Will it unroot me? Not a big deal to me if it unroots, just need to know what will happen
I guess u wont be able to update since u have already rooted that makes a device custom only official device software firmware can be updated
U can give it a try

You can update via the Kies software, but you'll need to re-root after
Newbie here. I rooted the S4 a couple of months ago. Now that 4.3 is out, can experts post some step-by-step guide on how to upgrade it on rooted devices? Thanks.
Are you sure you want to update? Why not just flash a 4.3.1 rom to your device instead and stock to AMDL firmware.
However if it hasn't manually updated to MF3 you can go into your settings and search for updates, or it should automatically update on it's own. The only thing that would prevent it would be if you've flashed a non TW based ROM, changed the framework + kernel, or froze there processes needed to update. Just a stand alone root won't prevent it.

I am not on MF3. I tried to install the AT&T minor update before, but it failed twice. I did freeze some stock apps. If I unfreeze those apps, the automatic update should work then? That's very good to know. Thanks!

Just to be clear you never got/took the OTA update to mf3?
If you still have the mdl bootloader then you will be able to update to a new rom that is based off the new att firmware MJ6 soon. I would wait until a good rom is out to flash rather than getting any OTA update. Once you go to mf3 firmware you cannot go back to a previous firmware and you are limited on what can be flashed to your phone. If you take the new OTA (whenever att actually releases it) you will be stuck on that firmware and not able to go back to a previous firmware.
So like in my situation I have the mdb or mdl bootloader still, rooted, and I can flash any rom I want whether it is a mdl/mf3/ international firmware/ or when available the MJ6 firmware. All of this is harder/not able to do if you ever get OTA updates.

I never got the MF3 update. As I mentioned, I did try it twice, but the update failed, either because I froze some apps, or because I installed the CWM custom recovery. It's good to hear that it is actually a good thing. I noticed that the 4.3 firmware is out (the general forum), should I just install that one? How should I start? Thanks.

What until one of the devs creates a flashable zip that you can flash in cwm. It'll probably be only a couple of days now that the leak is out.
Hi guys.I have a question about update OTA ....if the phone is rooted and have custom recovery(twrp)installed can I update my phone ?
With a custom recovery the answer is no.

And with stock recovery and modified system files, still no. Either return them, or flash stock kdz.
so what is the easy way to fix this.So if I'm notified that a new update is ready to install is better for me to not do this because I have custom recovery installed....?
Block OTA until official KK is released. if you do that it will fail and or boot loop. You can freeze the update app / rename fota. Search forums.

For OTA, stock recovery is needed along with all original apps from any previous OTA or from factory.
For custom ROM, custom recovery is needed. (TWRP, CWM)

Umm no. What he meant was that these incremental OTA's that still leave you with 4.2.2 are not worth the hassle of going back to stock to receive it. Now, when the time comes, and 4.4 is released, then it's theoretically a good time to go back to stock to receive said update. Or just flash it via TWRP if the file is readily accesible. Either way, its not worth going back to stock at all IMO.

What he/she said ^. Honestly, I would wait and to make sure it isn't locked down at release. If all is good, still able to flash recoveries and ROMs on official KK, my next step would be to do complete stock kdz. Nice, clean, new system on major update.
I am currently on d80020c I am rooted. I have latest TWRP installed. I tried to goto the resurrection lollipop but was getting a compatible error.
I was told to load new bootstrap then Rom.
I got the bootstack installed and then got compatible error again and it was then bricked with qsusb.
Am I missing something?
I just want lollipop and cannot get OTA updates unfortunately.
Thanks!

you can't get OTA updates if you have custom recovery
No I understand that. Before I did custom I tried to get OTA updates but I am not registered on att networks because I am on net10. Tried with an att sim with no luck. So I am just wondering what is wrong with my setup now to properly flash.
