Unfortunately the wife accepted hers this morning before I got up. She has lost root. Not sure where we go from there. Maybe we can Odin her back to MJ7.
The idea was to let me unroot hers and prep it before any OTA now I'm not sure if she will get 4.4 correctly. She says it still says 4.3

Thanks for clearing that up. Now I just have to figure out how to get her root back. I left mine alone for now but still get the notice.

Please take the time and read, it's stated all over the note 3 thread that you can root MJE firmware... Not trying to be a jerk and I think you did an excellent job with the OP

Not much interest here in a carrier unlock. We want our bootloader unlocked. Two completely different things.

Go to settings > about phone > software info, and tell us what build number you have. If (xxx)11o, then you've just received the 11c update in all likelihood. If your build ends with 11c, then it's something new. As mentioned above, my money is on the 11c update.

New OTA firmware 2.06.605.1 710RD from Verizon

I have an HTC DNA softwafe version 2.04.605.2 710 RD and I was just notified of a new software update 2.06.605.1 710RD.
Here is the official documentation from Verizon:
"Improvements have been made to sim card detection".
I haven't had any problems with my DNA so far so I'm not sure if this would be a fix for other people. Also I'm not sure how this would affect current root status or if there's any hidden updates besides the one Verizon listed.
I'm not rooted so I'm trying to get it downloaded and off my device to upload to the devs but no luck yet. I have the SIM card issues so I'm fine with eventually installing, but I don't want to loose the chance to download the file first.
Here is the OTA for whoever wants it. Its not rooted. Its straight from the download (NOTHING DONE TO IT) https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3OJJDTvOy8vdkhZVWpVRWlJMzA/edit?usp=sharing
Can you upload it somewhere else, I don't want to have to register with 4shared to download it.
Nevermind, I signed up as Jon Voight and was able to download it.

Security holes such as signature check typos, unintended memory access, or workarounds to getting certain write functions working where they aren't supposed to are our "exploits." The updates need to be thoroughly analyzed for security holes if they are to be used for exploits.
Think twist brought up a good point though. People that don't really need the update should hold off I guess I'm stating the obvious but if some exploit was found and us stuck on ota before the new one was received could install some sort of modified one if these guys found and holes in this.

VZW made HTC remove the DNA from htcdev. What makes you think they are not actively ensuring that this device stays locked down? They hire actual people for this purpose.

The S5 is even more pointless if you ask me. It's going to come even more locked down than these s4's
Sure people will work hard at finding exploits but its not going to be any easier. Its getting to the point where more an more people will jump ship over to Sprint where you can still unlock the bootloaders.
So what if Knox gets mad and keeps telling you in tiny yellow and red letters during each reboot.

That's a joke right sprint?
People will jump to Tmobile. Unlockable and actually decent and fast service.
Granted the S5 (on vzw and att) will come more locked than the S4 but people (dan rosenberg or someone else) will initially come onboard and find a 2nd init or kexec method. Also vz has the most coverage around the US.

What he said.
If you do, you won't likely keep root across the OTA, and won't be rootable afterwards.
Any chance of a bootloader breach is also lower once you update. Just say no,
Android 4.4 + TW = lipstick on a pig
Can't wait for this update, I'm taking it in a heartbeat. A shame there's no word on it for Verizon.

I no longer see a need to root. So much function is freely given now. The only reason I would root again would be for ad block. That said, break me off a piece of that Kit Kat!

NFL Mobile. That right there is one HUGE reason to root. Get that crap off your phone, unless you a willing lemming drone to the NSA and you have "nothing to hide"...
Seriously... I don't get it. Those of you that are on SafeStrap mk2 or mj7 are better off staying where you are. You're not missing some huge thing other than saying... Your s4 is on KitKat.
I have a sprint s4 on TW 4.4 and let me tell u...it looks just like TW 4.3.
So keep root..keep SafeStrap and wait and see if the XDA gods can bring root to it first before anything else.
I don't know I guess this kitkat thing is already tickin me off!

An update is an update...I enjoy browsing through for new things. It's like flashing a rom? Some people like stock, it's clean and functional . Have been rooting and installing roms since my og droid days and this is the first device that I find no need to root to enjoy. It's filled with customizable options and speed.
I am sure Vroot can already root this. I will be updating when its out and root.
