How do I take the new update? I am rooted by dela vega and on mj7. I tried using survival mode on supersu but it didn't work.

I haven't tried as I'm waiting on Beans to incorporate this new update in his Build 5 rom. Make sure you have all of the bloat ware that was pre installed or the OTA won't update. I tried updating with earlier OTA updates and forgot to unfreeze the bloat ware so it didn't work.
Take a sec and hit thanks if I helped or if you're in a good mood!
I tried. I used survival mode and un froze everything I had froze. It error ed. Gonna have to wait or see if anyone un roots, updates, and then re roots. I'd go the rom root but the stock is working fine for me. I just like root access and want the up to date software.

I unrooted with mj7 tar file with Odin and used Mingo to root and it worked like a charm.

LOL, I don't know about "loving it" but it does work just fine for me.
I was running Beans etc. on mi9. The OTA failed repeatedly, so I finally gave up & flashed the odin tar of mj7 which made the phone like it was brand new right out of the box..
At that point, the OTA completed successfully. That left me without root or safestrap however, so I did the kingo root, reinstalled safestrap and installed the paid Pro version of SuperSU.
At that point, I flashed Beans v4 ROM in the stock ROM slot after doing a complete wipe in safestrap recovery.
Now, the system runs absolutely perfectly. I have not had a single problem of any kind. The system absolutely flies, no lag whatever and not a single FC or freeze up. I have a custom theme installed and quite a few system UI changes with Xposed/ Wanam etc.etc.etc.
Survival mode is hit and miss best way to do it is odin back to mj7 and ota then kingo all your safstrap backups will save and will have new modem so ur not loesing anything

I was on MJ7 rooted by kingo.
Here is what I did.
Backup apps
When to my stock rom
Uninstalled safestrap
Unrooted with kingo (must be on stock rom slot as I found out)
Then took the ota and it failed.
So I downloaded new odin
Downloaded MJ7 tar file.
Flashed that and did not loose any data on my phone.
Then I took the OTA
(Now successfully on MJE)
Wifi wasn't connecting
Rerooted with kingo.
Installed safestrap
Booted back into my rom slot for clean rom. Wifi now works.
Downloaded new clean rom 1.5
And clean flashes.
Restored apps.
Everything works flawless here.
Amazing battery.
No you do not need to take the OTA.
If your phone works fine the way it is then why change it.
It is only worth it if you plan on staying with the latest builds here on XDA.
I assume hyperdrive will follow up shortly to MJE.
Beans will have one out any day now.
And clean rom works amazing for me.

I for one am loving it. I got this phone through my job and put my t-mobile sim in it and was happy on H+ with it, but this update has now allowed a true 4GLTE connection with my tmobile sim. using the same APN settings as before. Sweet.
I'm currently on mj7 rooted with safe strap. I think I'm going to try to find a cheap Windows laptop of some sort since Mac is all I have. I have frozen the system update in tibu for now. Should I get a Chrome book? Will probably only use it to tweak my android devices. Thanks

I got ambitious and tried to take the update. Previously used Odin to flash to MJ7 and rooted with vroot(Kingo did not work). I booted to recovery switched to stock slot rebooted and tried to take the update, It failed, so I went back to recovery, did a factory reset and rebooted. No success in taking the update. Any suggestions as to what I should do next?
Well, here's what I did. I'm just rooted, stock recovery. Rooted back on MI9 with de la vega. No safestrap, etc
Unfroze all frozen apps with TBU
I went to Safe Mode on Super SU
Disabled Super SU
Took the update
Reenabled Super SU
Unchecked Safe Mode
Updated Binaries
Used a root checker to recheck root
Froze apps again

Installed, must have wiped cache as all apps went through the updating process. No noticeable differences or problems. Seems to be a tick faster but that's probably just my perception.
I got a notice this morning about the update being downloaded, I don't have root yet, so I installed it.

OK, as expected, lost root. Odin flashed the original cwm recovery back. reinstalled the original root file and and back to being rooted.
Still 4.0.4.
All you had to do was use voodoo ota rootkeeper to backup n restore root file. access to computer not needed.
I was previously rooted with CMW Recovery [N8013]. I then flashed stock [N8000] firmware and the update failed. I have not used kies before, will that install the update correctly? Thanks

How did you flash back to stock? I didn't think we had a completely stock 8013 image yet. I tried reimaging via the root injected stock file, but it did not remove CWM, so the update won't load.
ye i just did it and i lost root but the first thing i noticed that is working faster. also the snote app was update you can upload your own template finally. when choosiing a background on the window pop up touch the little square image on the top right corner and it lets you choose from images in your gallery.

Hello developers.
I'm trying to reroot my phone after the latest 4.3 update via ODIN for my Indian handset.
I'm trying using CF-AutoRoot via ODIN and the it says PASS and the phone restarts normally as it should but the root is simply not happening.
there were 2 android 4.3 updates for my device and i installed the latest (you can see the post title for the exact version)
after everything completed properly i simply tried CF-AutoRoot via ODIN and nothing is happening.
Till 4.2.2, it got rooted properly without such or any other problems.
Kindly assist me out in getting my phone rooted.

The rooting worked so far for me. Have you enabled KNOX? They enhanced the security features and as far as I heard KNOX-enabled devices can't get full root. Verify whether it is enabled or not. I'm not sure whether the user enables it or not but that may be the reason. I'm also not sure whether this KNOX security really affects I9500 models. I9505 models are definitely affected.

Probably I never full wiped.
The apps and all other data is retained (normally all is retained when we update rom via odin).
Factory reset (full wipe) was never required earlier to get root to work.
Knox is not on from my side though I get some notifications always that some app tried to access something and Knox blocked that. But I guess that is something else because we need to manually activate Knox after opening the Knox app.

Backup and Factory reset and cache clear after updating to 4.3
Then you'll get stock Samsung 4.3
Follow the same method to root (auto root) or alternatively flash super su via cwm/twrp/stock recovery.

Thank you. Will this trip the knox thing?
After using CF-AUto root you need to update Super SU App on first boot.
Then Open SuperSU app and choose to install SU Binary without using a custom recovery.
Then reboot.
Then install Titanium backup pro and use it to free all Knox related files.
There are 7 of them and you need to remove all of them.
Remember you need to install a custom recovery to install busybox. (atleast in my case)
Install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2489234 via ODIN.
Once you are on custom recovery.
Use busybox installer to install busybox.
reboot.
You are done.

No mate.
Wait for a future update to trip that.
In the mean time, I'm trying to trip that since it isn't very difficult just lazy to try everything since everytime 1 thing fails, I need to restore the whole data and if takes much of my bandwidth.
Hope you understand.
And the device status will also remain custom.
P.S. Touchwiz UI from Samsung will hang on a later date due to some app compatibility issue (I'm not sure which app but I can tell a large set of apps and it will hang due to any one from that list) so it is preferred to shift to some other launcher on pre hand.

thank you both avineshwar and ajhavery.
i really wanted to update but i guess i am going to wait for a while. lots of issues seem to be happening once rooted. also dont want to lose warranty with the knox thing.
it seems the custom roms such as arrow and crash also have sound issues, FC issues on some apps.
i guess ill wait and see. maybe once the nexus 5 is out i can sell the i9500 and get the nexus 5.

Waiting is good.
Don't sell your phone though (for obvious reasons).
You've got much to explore.
When it comes to selling, you'll get money whenever you do that so keep that option as your last bet.
Custom roms aren't really preferred from my side until you are a die hard modification fan!.
Rooting is the only problem (which is solved now I guess) on the latest firmware.
Rooting won't do any problem, believe me (except warranty).

i downloaded 3 files from the OP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317105
the PDA, CSC and modem. all for MJ8, downloaded PDA is odex.
when i flashed 3 of the files with ODIN like shown in op my device. After i restarted i got errors for Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps .
i searched on google and did what was suggested, like clearing dalvik cache, resetting default apps, uninstalling the play store update etc.
the phone was unusable, the errors popedup every second.
I had to go back to the MG9 4.2.2 firmware.
What did i do wrong?
have you guys tried the method mentioned in the post. it prerooted and knox free 4.3 firmware.

Probably you want to upgrade to 4.3?
If so goto sammobile.com and find the latest firmware for your device from there, download and flash the same via odin.
You're now on 4.3!
Once done you can root from the auto root method by chain fire.

Ok I have my phone working again. I am not on 4.3 but its back to where it was before I started, which is better than nothing. After running Odin once and it failing like it always does (I have never seen it work) I was able to get the holding down volume, home and power button option to work and I just said no and to reboot and it worked. I then went into SuperSU app and unrooted. I will try to update to 4.3 at a later time. I am glad I wasn't the only one having issues.

I had the same problem. The only way I was finally able to upgrade to 4.3 was to use Odin to revert to stock (unrooted) 4.2.2 MF3 using the files on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502003 Once I did that I ran the OTA update to 4.3 and it worked without any problems.
So if I oden to stock again don't root Then hit the update it should go? Weird thing is I installed my back up today and it a stock backup fresh rich from a oden wipe and it stared DL on its own before I stopped it with killing WiFi. I s this 4.3 update or is it mf3 since I never did that update. ..help. Thanks

Take it to Best Buy. "Kies broke your phone" *wink*wink* and they can flash it back to stock without messing up your data. You can do it yourself. Plus they have this mysterious awesome SMART tool. Lol

Use the link in my previous post (post #13). That has the files and procedures for using Odin to get back to stock 4.2.2 and then you can do the OTA upgrade from there.
Received this update, doesn't look like anything major

Tried the Cellular South version on Sammobile. Full wipe and install via Odin 3.09. Seems snappier to me. Reinstalled all my apps. Leaving it unrooted for now.

Applied update today.
Two things I notice:
1. Viewing large images in stock gallery now much speedier. Before, there was a long delay drawing large images.
2. Suddenly X-plore my preferred file manager has write access on SD card! Before this update it didn't. Haven't really looked fully if other apps have write access that didn't before. Hancom office updated also but it still can only write to a specific location on SD. Maybe X-plore was just a fluke either way? I'm not sure, but happy it works now.
I just notice the update and I just want to know what it will change for better since the device already good enough for me.

Update in the Netherlands caused much faster WiFi connection. It was extremely slow before while doing a test with the speedtest.net app. The whole device feels speedier and snappier now. For me a big improvement. I hope more will follow, because the speed experience on this very expensive device is a bit disappointing to me.
Lost Root
I took this update and lost root. I tried CF Autoroot and it failed, my tablet would not boot up. I had to flash stock image. I suggest if you don't want to lose root, wait awhile before taking this update. By the way, SU survival didn't work.

you won't lose root. You just have to reinstall SuperSU and everything will be fine. I lost root after updating to the new firmware, however after rebooting I reinstalled the SuperSU and I Have root again.

cfautoroot is the only one that I'm aware of to flash, that's working anyways. I've seen other work in another forum however it hasn't been fully successful.

as I said in my other post, cfautoroot isnt working for me.
I was on MJE rooted and safestrapped. No problems. I put SuperSu in survival mode, took the OTA...knowing full well the bootloader issue (I had played with NC2 with NC4 modem for a while and had tons of issues)...I am still rooted on NC4 no problems doing anything rootlike...except Safestrap 3.72 will not set the boot up to give me the choice to recover or continue no matter what. So I even tried Safestrap 3.73...when I install the recovery...3.73 says it completed and shows "installed" But still no choice at boot time.
Has anyone gotten this to work?

Please see the mini guide I just posted at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2762999 for information on how to go from a STOCK MJE non rooted phone to one with KitKat 4.4.2 rooted (odex or deodex). As well as move to a custom non stock rom.

Because I was thinking I would try a reflash with Odin if needed. I've been "trying stuff" with UNIX based servers since the early 80's. I have no problem reflashing a phone.

BusyBox is installed, and active, and SafeStrap checks for it and Safestrap says it's installed...but even hitting the Reboot to Recovery button does a "normal" reboot and I don't get the recover/continue option.

After reading your post I went ahead and tried to take the NC4 OWA with supersu in survival mode. It Worked! I was on stock mje, rooted with kingo and had a modded framework for tethering. I restored the backup of my stock framework file, then unfroze all of my apps. I put supersu in survival mode, disabled superuser, and turned default access to deny. I then enabled the install of the OWA and after the reboot I enabled supersu and just like that I still had root. So far no issues.
As far as safestrap goes, I didn't have safestrap before but I may try to install it to see if it works now. I'll let you know.

Third time is a charm I guess. I uninstalled the recovery, rebooted, reinstalled the recovery, hit the reboot to recovery and got to Safestrap just fine. And it now gives me the choice during reboot.
