Therefore, these threads were merged together into one.

Hopefully this is okay with you. I have set an expiring redirect from your old thread to this one in case you cannot find your old thread. I will also be sending you a PM notifying you of this change.

From what I've read It seems that the 4.3 update has many bugs (reported by S4 International and Verizon S4 users that got the update first) and as a result the OTA has been officially delayed by ATT for its S4. Also, the day Tmobile was supposed to release it (the 18th) came and went with no update. Theres no word as to when they'll release it, sorry to say but if the bug reports are correct, it may be a while before we see it.

Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Problems: Trouble Arises With The AT&T Galaxy S4 Update As Samsung Speaks Out About The Galaxy S3 Update Issues

Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Release Date Delayed? T-Mobile Galaxy S4 Misses Expected Roll Out Date As Post-Update Issues Plague Other Models
 
the cdma sgs3 is getting its update currently, so you guys cant be far off, i mean how much further could the latest device get it?
 
I think that Metro is "in charge" of the cdma updates and Tmo handles the gsm updates. I have no proof of this of course...did the Metro gsm s3 get an update too?

If Metro is an official carrier with their own type of S4, which I have come to understand as true, then yes they will be in charge of bringing the updates to their devices.

Yes, but Tmo and Metro are now technically the same company since the acquisition. Metro released the OTA for the old CDMA S3 (the S3 on their network) but have yet to release the OTA for the new Metro GSM S3 they sell (which is on Tmobile's network). Im thinking, as I said, that the OTA's for Metro's GSM phones will come from Tmobile and not MetroPCS. Edit: I'm just guessing here folks...

I don't think you need to guess for that one, that should be a fact. If, which I didn't know about haha, Metro is now under TMo's umbrella then all the OTA updates will come from them, if you want to know you could always send TMo's Customer service an email requesting for an update :p
 
Interesting...when i search Samsung's website for support and input our model M919N what comes up is:

Samsung Galaxy S
 
So is anyone going to flash this thing? Or are we waiting for the official metro update if that happens.
 
I got a download error. Anyways remember what Shabby wrote in another thread:

"you wont be able to use odin to flash back to 4.2 if you do the 4.3 update, samsung has started blocking downgrading via odin. so unless you guys make a odin tar per newer firmware if you mess something up you wont be able to odin back to safety. :/"
 
Hey guys I was popping in this forum and saw my name mentioned about merging some threads, so I worked some magic and ta-da! The threads regarding 4.3 are now together in one thread :).

Hopefully this makes everyone happy, if not feel free to send me a PM.

Otherwise the other 4.3 thread will have an expiring redirect for 3 days for anyone who is confused regarding the merge.

Thanks again! :)
 
if you guys have the tar you can just make it into a rom without getting the bootloaders, its what im waiting to do for the s3 4.3 update. (making a rom so no bootloaders, not the tar bit :P )
 
Im sure the guys at the Tmo threads will be making a rom from this update soon...If you really, really want to try 4.3, I posted a link to a Touchwiz rom a few posts back that will satisfy you for the time being. Its made from an early leak of the Tmobile 4.3 firmware. Ive been running it for close to a week. The 4.3 update looks and feels exactly like 4.2...there's really not much difference IMO.
