I received this text earlier. Could it be for 4.3? I'm running upndwn4par's Stockup rom at the moment.

Don't install that update. I'm pretty sure you're getting the AT&T MF3 update that will keep you from being able to flash a custom recovery and along with that custom roms. The stock AT&T 4.3 update is called MJ6. It also will lock the bootloader I believe. You probably should get 4.3 a different way if you don't have it already with the rom you have..

HAHA....similar issue here. However, I did not go that far ahead...only 3-4 days since I checked a few times today.
Lets hope it still pushes - when it finally releases, that is.

I did the stepping my date forward automatically on day at a time, and it did let me keep checking for the update, but I got a bit over zealous and went ahead to Dec. 25th (Seemed like a good day for an update present), but now after setting the date back to today, when I try to check for the update, it tells me I can't check again for 1031 hours! lol. I'm not too worried about that. I could jump to the 26th, if needed. My question is this... when they do end up pushing it out, will it still get pushed to my phone? Or will my phone not even look for updates for a month and a half???

Yeah I have no intentions of updating with this. I was just wondering if they (AT&T) were pushing 4.3 out now. I specifically went shopping way back when for a S4 with MDL. I'm not gonna screw that up now.

I have an update available. I am currently running stock with mf3 baseband. I'm not planning on updating, but I am curious.

Although, someone is gonna have to download it sooner or later.

Oh. I thought it would be more exciting. Nobody needs any files or anything?

If I'm gonna lose root and safestrap, I'd like it to be for a good cause. Not just idle curiosity. I'm not a martyr.

I guess my real question from my post from earlier is this: Are the OTA Updates PUSHED, or does the phone query the server? Cuz if it queries, I'm in trouble...lol. If it's pushed, then I might be ok.

Not here yet...

I called AT&T tech support and asked if in fact the update was released, and they confirmed it, but could not confirm when it would be available for the masses because it could cause "troublesome issues". It will be pushed to the devices OTA, and I was instructed to run a power cycle on my device daily until the update arrives. Other than that, Kies and checking for updates are useless with this firmware, and carrier. :rolleyes:

If you want it now go to your local best buy Samsung center and have them update it for you.

I wonder if removing the auto update(apk) and (odex) instead of freezing with TB would do the same thing and not send rom into bootloop. If I had time to flash a rom in slot 1 of SS I would try it with a stock rom. I debloated my phone without using TB so my goal is to not use an app when u can just add the files back later if I want them(or need them) but thank you for showing me that post as it helps us to see what files are involved with the update.

I just called Best Buy, and talked to the Samsung rep and he said that all they do is help with the update if it's appeared on your phone and you don't know how to proceed, or check for it if you don't know how. It's not like they hook it up to a computer and push teh update to your phone for you.

Thank you, I know exactly what you're talking about because I work for the Samsung Experience Store inside of Best Buy and we use what's called the S.M.A.R.T. Tool. I think I'll go try that and post screenshots if I get the update!

They won't because they can't. The update come from AT&T. If AT&T doesn't push it, then there is nothing they can do. They will assist you updating it, if you have problems, but they get the update the same time we do.

Well the guy I talked to, definitely didn't tell me about any S.M.A.R.T. tool! lol. Is that something you can ask for???

if he doesn't know about the S.M.A.R.T tool please ask him his store number (I see your location is in Chicago) & that is the market I work in. But yes that is something they should offer to you everytime you visit the Samsung Experience Store... especially around an update. But I just checked it and our market doesn't have 4.3 yet.
