My wife's phone just said there is a new update available. I did not let it install. Anyone else get this update alert?
Not yet, no ota or via kies. I'm on Rogers, i know it's not ATT but since the S2, we had all updates a few days before ATT which is the sister company in the US and nothing here yet. Can you check and see if is this long awaited update samsung started rolling out 2 weeks ago?
I have AT&T version of S4 and did not get any update notice and nothing shows up on check updates.

Well, from what I've been reading it's possible in addition to the update, they may be trying to patch Loki, which is why I was hesitant. I was messing with it to get rid of the lock icon/custom boot up. I tried flashing the stock Rom with Odin but it only seemed to flash on top of the Rom already installed. Then once it boot up, the update management thing kicked in. It's possible it was just triggering the first update we got a few weeks back, and not a new one.

If this isn't about the "BMEA" update, please have it deleted or locked. Another Update thread that isn't about an update isn't helping anyone. Nothing personal, but people need to confirm what they are posting about before they post about it.
people also need to stop acting like moderators.
How am I going to verify it, if I haven't installed it yet? If it indeed was the new update with a patch for Loki, I am not the one who wants to flash it first.

You could always download the SBF and do it yourself. Otherwise, you just need to be patient and wait for it. Imagine how much could go wrong if they tried to push it out to every Atrix on the network at the same time. You'll get it when they push it to you, don't worry. I'm still waiting too.

It got pulled it will go out sometime here soon.
I downloaded something before it got pulled. I can't install anything but here is what I downloaded on my phone.
It initiates the updating software wizard but since I can't install anything on this computer, I'm curious to know if it is any different than what is currently available on the motorola.com website.
WoooHoooo just got OTA
Just got OTA in Alabama! Wooohoo
Is this OTA update going to break root?
I got the update notice as soon as I registered the product (which I hadn't done until today after owning since April 20th). Make sure that you've registered your phone on motorola.com

It did not break root for me. But even if it does, others have said it's easy to re-root.
Just got it in Maryland this morning. I have been going crazy. But to be honest did three speed tests and 2/3 had barely better than what your showing; third was four times! Got it over the air. Nothing to write home about unless you are dowloading video I guess.... Still, I was in your shoes yesterday and going nuts. I decided to just wait and not try all the crazy download sideload stuff......pushed check for available updates and what do you know????
Downloading
Downloading mine right now, from Colombia.

yes it does. superuser.apk will still be listed, but nothing can get root. i just used the old method of copying my su over to /osh before i ran the update, then copied it back after
received OTA now..
ATT unlocked phone,
NOT beta tester!
the next time i f**** up my device i ll need only one sbf flash!!!
I'm currently on I337UCUAMDB.. trying to get the update first then root after. For some reason, every time I try to access software update, I get this message.
"Software Update Interrupted. No update is available for your device at this time. Please try again in 24 hours."
Any ideas? I've tried on a friend's phone and he also gets the same message. AT&T carrier.
U will have to go back to stock ROM through Odin..I had the same message had to deroot and return my phone to stock then up date through Kies ...hope that helps...

its stock.. i literally just took it out of the box. same with my friend, he got his yesterday.. and we both keep getting this error.. we've tried to push the date forward to try the update again, and each time, it is the same error message.
So my buddy pushed the date forward again, tried the update again, and this time it said "Software is up to date."
i am lost now.
Someone else posted that they had to have ATT push the update to them. I'm wondering if ATT is already pulling that update and preparing a patched one.

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.
S4 Active, Custom ROM

Hi I have just started to get a message in my notification bar saying I need to do a security policy update. However when I try to do this it tells me that it cannot due to network issues.
Can anyone tell me what is going on here and how to fix it?
I'm using an S4 unbranded on the 3 network.
same issue here, unbranded on o2
im on an unbranded i9505 on o2 and it will not install for me eithr

I believe its a Samsung servr error, so just try again later

Same issue here. I'm unbranded on T-mobile. Not sure if it's a Samsung problem or an issue with another app. I've seen on other forums that people have had this issue before and it's always been related to another app causing Knox to get over-protective.
---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------
Just out of interest, have any of you guys rooted or installed ROMs via Odin at all? I'm wondering if Knox is blocking the update due to the Knox-warranty-void flag. I've unrooted but still seeing the issue.
Same issue, stock unrooted on Vodafone.

It happened the same to me when I tried to install the new .apk of Wallet app. KNOX SUCKS!
Regards,

Have same issue today on my i9505 unlocked on O2 - prompted to install but times out with network error. I have to press cancel to do anything with the phone.
Stock firmware all delivered OTA in case anyone asks.
Well It's just plain old stock firmware that I'm using. Though I don't have any app called knox.
Knox isn't an app. Its security features that Samsung are building in to their ROMs now.
I have flashed to BTU (from EVR) and it just popped up. Annoying that it doesnt install.
Ok how does that work then?
Ok I'm attempting to ask samsung directly via twitter @samsunguk and @Samsungmobileuk. There are others also in the UK asking them on twitter too!
im not seeing a lot of talk about this error message
for some reason, I thought it would of been a massive conversation today but doesnl look like many have this issue, but Samsung have not even said anything about it

don't even know what this update does
+1 on the update request and failure. ......totally stock on orange uk
their is no talk of this update anywhere,
which I find is strange to be honest, I thought it would of been a massive thing today, but teir is nothing
all us people having problems and their no help, nobody seems to know what the update is for or what it is, Samsung isn't replying to anybody
Security policy update just started to show on mine aswell :/ totally stock simfree updated using Kies other week.
Does anybody know of any tentative timetable? ETC?
Rogers has said that the i337m will be getting it soon. I'd imagine that AT&T should be in a similar time frame.
Soon with Rogers usually ends up being weeks to a month.

Was wondering the same thing. I would root my S4 but I really messed up my previous phone trying to do that. I just don't trust myself enough to try to root the phone and or flash the already available leaked kitkat OS.
I looked into this and found that estimated release date would be march-april. Depending on carrier could be later as US carriers are slow to release updates
So no, nobody knows as At&t has not announced it yet. Anything else is pure rumor.

AFAIK Kies hasn't had our updates since MF3, and ODIN files don't get released until someone at Best Buy can get them to us. You'd have to go into the stock recovery and use the update.zip which will no doubt be posted soon after the OTA starts rolling.
