This thread will get you back to MJ5 stock and you can then take the OTAs to get up the official 4.4
just make sure to download the files and follow the steps, have done it twice it works pretty painlessly to be honest.
Even if I'm on MI9 and the stock firmware is MI9?

So your build is still MI9?
If all your worried about is getting to kitkat i dont see the harm in going up to MJ5 and just using the OTAs to get up to kitkat.
IF i am wrong please someone else chime in. But im not seeing an issue with doing that.
Yes it is still MI9. What I'm wondering is that the sammobile website makes it look so quick and painless. Download the firmware then flash in odin. Just wondering if it works. Again thank you for all your help. I've had iphones ever since they've come out and he just switched to the Note 3 this past October. This forum has made the swith painless.

Isn't there a 1-click to flash stock MI9?
Is the stock firmware+odin considered a 1-click?

Just a heads up, the stock rom from Sammobile + Odin worked great!!

I don't think you can go from mj5 back to mi9

Hey I am rooted and I did all the the steps before checking for an update. When I do it says my phone is up to date. So I changed the date on the phone and same thing happens. Any Ideas on how I can get the update?

Are you rooted with M1 build? I didn't get the update as well so I flashed mine back to M9 build and I get the update right away.
I am on the m1 build and do you have root now that you have the update?

Do you know how, if at all, to update?
Is the update going to hinder root or future dev progress?

No. I don't have root anymore. The reason I rooted was to do sim unlock. After went back to M9 and got new update, mine is still sim unlocked. So, all is good for me.
I'm downloading m9 as I type! I will upgrade and root using Dg's method then hopefully ota will come

You need to download root DE LA Vega Ml9 package and flash it just like you flashed ml1 then make sure you install Supersu pro and check survival mode and uncheck enable superuser then reboot now you will be okay to take the ota!

I'm currently on MI9 and think I want to update to MJ5 for safestrapping in the future. I can't find the firmware anywhere. Please help, I'm really lost.
1. What are the benefits of updating?
2. Is there any benefit of staying on my current firmware?
3. How would I go from rooted MI9 to MJ5?

You can use safestrap on MI9. I'm on it and safestrap works fine.

This is confirmed working on the i537 AT&T leaked 4.3? Screenshots if you have please, just curious. I'm still on 4.2.2 stock w/ SafeStrap installed. Didn't really look into getting 4.3 leaked since only root methods supposedly had malware. :fingers-crossed:
Screens hots are borked in the leak but trust me in have already flashed a lock screen mod and can confirm it worked

Sweet deal, I'll check it out when I get a little free time off from work. I won't be able to get any OTA/Official updates from AT&T for my i537 anyways since I switched to Tmo last year. Locked BL sucks!

Look at my list of previous devices. All have been modded mainly with info from XDA. I have been my own guinea pig plenty of times, I assure you.
I'm not saying you cant...I discovered this worked for our device by going out on a limb a trying it. If I could get the ota I would have already tried.

If I could get the ota I would have tried by now if it worked on the leaked 4.3 it would lead me to believe it would work on official.

He's right, there is no odin of anything but MI9 and MJ5. Do the MJ5 restore method then update.
