Update failed. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hi, I'm on 4.2.2 stock rooted and am receiving an update. I'm Not sure if it's 4.3 or 4.4.2 but it downloaded and tried to install. It got to 27% and said update failed. I've tried a few times and it just fails. So does anyone know why my update keeps failing? Do I need to Odin back to stock(mf3) and then update?

You can't update a routed phone via OTA, but I think there is a way to unroot.

You have to un-root your phone before you can access an official OTA update. If you are using Super Su, like most of us, you can use it to un-root. Search the forums for rooting if you need additional info. Good luck.

Thanks a lot guys.

I unrooted via SuperSU and I'm getting the same error. I guess I will have to Odin back to stock and then update.

I'm having the same issue. Where can i find the official 4.3 rom?.....All i'm finding is the 4.2.2 stock which also fails using odin. I may be doing something wrong though.

[Q] AT&T OTA Update

Just got a Device Management update available message on my S4 this morning. Anyone have an idea of what it's for? I won't be installing anything until I know I won't lose root.
Are you on MDL or MF3? If MDL, it's probably the MF3 update and I'd use a custom rom. If MF3, then I have no clue

MDL.
Careful on Wi-Fi if it's downloaded because it will auto update if you reboot for any reason. Better freeze what needs frozen and delete the update. This came out a month ago.

That's why you flash a stock rooted MF9 ROM if you want to be on the latest and rooted.

S4 rebooting as soon as I boot it!?
Hi!
So I followed Djembeys guide to root my s4 back when ME2/MF2(or smthn in that matter)was the newest firmware avable. But now I wanted to go back to stock and update my phone and as stated in the guide that would be no problem, well OTA didn't work so i did it via Kies. It worked as expected for a while before my phone started freezing and rebooting itself forever, like as soon as i get into the launcher.
Things I've tryed to do:
*Checking in download mode that everything is official, it is, and the phone doesn't seem to reboot while in download mode, should I flash a stock rom, I mean, what if the phone shuts off in the middle of the process?
*Doing a factory data reset via stock recovery, the "android" in recovery falls down and a triangle at his stomach. However the data reset worked, but it didn't solve the problem, still reboots but now when the phone is trying to set itself up.
What can i do guys? You think i can send it back to the store seeing everything is official in download mode?

Plug it into a computer and there will be a program that tries to install "Verizon Software Update Assistant" or something like that. Install the program and you will be able to update to the new baseband, MJE. Make sure your device is not rooted and there is no custom recovery. (safestrap) Updating through this process can take up to 45 mins so just be cool and let it do its thing.

I'd back-up your data, then flash the .tar file in this post via Odin 3.09:

Problem updating to 4.4

Hi. I am trying to update to 4.4 for the past couple of days. I don't know whenever I try updating it just says no update available. I think I may be on a rom but I am not sure, reason why is that when I boot my phone it says Samsung custom with a padlock. Suggestions?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
Do you know what firmware you're on? I would Odin those tar files. Backup first, to the cloud or your pc.
Ya I just went back to stock with Odin. But I tried to update and it still won't find any updates.

New LG G2 OTA Update!!!

In currently running stock firmware but rooted. I'm in the 3 network in the UK. I checked the other night to see if an update was showing and nothing, and I've been checking periodically over the last few weeks.
Tonight I thought I would give it a go and I am currently downloading a 548.36mb update. Does anyone know what this is??

are you running the 4.4.2 update already?? cause if so it might be bug fixes
Nope. I'm running stock 4.2.2. I didn't think u would get it as I an rooted.
Went to install it and obviously that's where NY excitement became frustration. I've uninstalled Xposed and done what I can to unroot the device without a PC and an attempting again.
Is there a way to unroot the phone without a PC?

if you have a custom recovery than you need a pc or alot of looking around for the flashable zips of stock recovery but they have flashables of the 4.4.2 update that are pre-rooted so id say flash that when you can
This does not belong in the Development Section; moved here...Thanks.
