I was just prompted for an update.. has anyone else got it?

Going to hold off on running it for now.

I haven't taken any OTAs yet in 5 months of owning my phone. Once you build firmware is updated you are stuck...and most likely will not be able to even odin back. If you don't care about Root or any ability to mod...and don't mind stock features go right ahead and take the update

Looks like just a few minor things!

What build are you running now?

According to the link you posted, it's just the MK2 update. That's been out for a while.

I got really excited too. I've been using Wanam Xposed for awhile, but I do like the white battery icon in the status bar in KitKat. I hate to sound cliché, but emoji support would help in apps such as Twitter.

sorry to get everyone excited. i will have to do this update.

Supposedly this update patches root and swaps the bootloader. Proceed at your own discretion.
Most recent VZW update that was discovered today.
I have not yet delved into the files to see exactly what this update updates. A few users have reported Apps2SD being included and a change in phone status that now displays a "Secure Boot Status Field" in addition to the SELinux Status field.

How do we install this, and since its just the upgrade, I'd have to presume it doesn't wipe anything?

Only do this if you don't want to be rooted. You will not be able to flash any Loki kernel and will be stuck with stock until or if they crack this new bootloader

Safest way is through KIES or the Samsung/VZW updater app.

Coincidence or?
Discuss.
I'm guessing this is on the official Tmobile site? I'm on edge right now so I'm not even going to attempt to look lol. If it's not a typo, I'd say the chances of getting 4.3 just got better.

Very cool.
Doubtful, international L9 would get 4.2 before T-Mobile would since it wont need carrier additions and LG would be the only one able to do the port. The P769 is near its end of life, I doubt we will get another update. This just seems like a mistype.
I have a friend who is on 4.1.2 and he is getting an ota software update notification.

I saw that too. I just thought they mistyped 4.2 in place of 4.1.2
hate to be a party pooper but who cares? people always pining for the latest android.. half the changes are for tablets and multiple user accounts. we're better off focusing on easier bootloader unlock and more rom/kernel variety. i'd rather have a GB rom available than the bleeding edge android. to each their own i guess :highfive:

Or you could always try out one of the AOSP Kitkat ROMs, available in the original development section. They're pretty darn stable, and can certainly be used as DDs.
If only I could get beyond this locked bootloader...

If you read this post:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2601067, the 4.4.2 leak is for the international S4 ONLY, not any of the North American variants yet.
Your S4 is probably soft-bricked right now, which is nobody's fault but your own.

Sounds quite reasonable.
Following Samsung OTA's for a long time across 3 phones and almost 6 years.. seems they connect some of the major OTAs to release of new product. Since the S5 is getting close could it be tied to that event? Betting Verizon's S5 won't be first on the release list for US carriers either.
OTA of 4.4 for the S4 prior to the S5 release just doesn't sound like a starter. It would be a nice surprise though....

You could always run an INT 4.4 ROM that has the boot loader removed and Loki-Doki the thing. I am running 4.4.2 A TW ROM on my S4

I know right, Knox was still an issue with the 4.3...and no way to get rid of it unless rooted...hopefully won't be the same with 4.4.2
I wonder (from other users opinion), is it better to stay or 4.3 or update to 4.4? I am talking about official release. Can someone give us compare of pros & cons of both system...?

hmm i am not sure but i think @freeza has hinted on the leak thread that there might be something cooking regarding the engineered bootloader (NA4) that makes it possible to downgrade to 4.3 from 4.4. Take with a grain of salt. ( if that how is said... LOL)
