Found it! Thank you.
Don't attempt to ODIN back to original firmware. It'll fail and you'll have to do a repair install (ask me how I know....)

I'm in the midst of that process now, but I'll be trying to use ODIN to install TWRP afterwards, and from there root the phone. I'll post the results.

I was afraid of this: attempting to flash TWRP via ODIN fails every time. No love. Looks like if you upgrade to 4.3 via Verizon's software, you're stuck there until one of the developers figures out how to unlock the bootloader & root it for us.

Just close it and right click the software upgrade icon in your tray and open it that way. The update should be available then. I had to do it that way.

Same result it isn't being pushed out by checking it through the phone. It told me no update but hooked it to my laptop and 4.3 upgrade found.

Feel like it should be pointed out that if you take the OTA there is a solid possiblity you will lose root (likely kingo will root it but idk). Even more likely you will end up with a locked bootloader and if it's anything like the S4 and Note 3, it won't be unlocked.

I hope someone can do that. As far as I know they haven't unlocked the GS4 yet. Somebody please let me know if I'm wrong about that cause I hope I am. With every update Verizon has released Adam Outler has had to come up with a new unlocker.

I'm running this. I'm not going to do anything that will unlock the bootloader. I'm just running my current rom til Dwitherell (my favorite developer) comes up with a "Tweaked" rom with 4.3. The only reason I switched was my curiosity got the better of me. Those of us who flashed it had a few problems with wifi, random reboots and FC's. I think I have that under control by disabling KLMS Agent and switching to the "On Demand" governor. It looks like my FC's were from restoring apps with TiBu. I've reinstalled them manually since. Mine seems like it might be OK now. Some others in that thread are still complaining. I have to say 4.3 seems faster and the wake-up lag is better.

    I gave Nate the files he needed a couple hours ago. He is all set. I suspect he will have something soon...The man is a developing machine!
