I am new to Android and I haven't ever seen this notification before on my phone since I rooted. Will allowing this Samsung account update mess my phone up? I've seen other people ask what it is, but with no definitive answer to this specific question.
I can't post links because I am new but if you look at imgur bMIV8Xc.png you can see the notification I am seeing.
I got this message today, too. I went ahead and allowed it to update. So far, I still have root and everything's running fine.

Nope you're good. It's just to update your samsung account. I did it too yesterday and no problems at all. Besides they really give you no choice because eventually it will just push to phone
Thanks for the replies guys, I really appreciate it.

Judging by what I'm seeing on some of the forums, it seems as though people are upgrading officially through the System Update option. However, mine continues to tell me that I'm up to date. Could someone advise me on the status of the OTA?

As of right now its still telling me I am up to date through system update as well.

I'm not sure it's been officially released yet, people just got info from here showing that apparently the official version and the leaked version are the same number. I can't verify this as I haven't updated or checked the versions myself, and some folks said the official release might have some other changes included so I'm still waiting. I don't want to get stuck and miss out on something.

From the Motorola web site my understanding is the only OTA update was for special test phones. The soak test hasn't started or you would have seen it posted on Droid-Life as they usually have it as soon as the email has been sent out.
I read there was a problem with the D2G Exchange encryption or something and maybe that is either using resources or the D3 has the same problem. Don't know but I'm guessing something is up or it would have been out by now.
I'm not updating my phone until the official version is out.
I appreciate the response everyone. I, as well, would like to wait for the official release rather than be hasty and install the leak.

$5 says the leak will be the exact same as the "official" OTA. I installed it the first day it was posted. XD

Does anyone know if the leak fixes the data roaming problem? My co-worker got his Droid 3 today but cannot use data since we live in an extended network. Bummer for him, but I'm trying to help fix his problem if I can.

Should be able to turn it on in settings. That is what I did. The setting did take a few times for it to stay active, but not had to reactivate the setting in a few weeks.
Read that kingo is pretty darn good. I rooted with it no problem. Shortly afterwards my date connection was throttled into the stone ages. ATT said I was good on their end. I removed the root and was good to go. Anyone else have any issues with it?
No..?

If you used Kingo, just go into Superuser, settings and select unroot. if you rooted another way you are SOL.

AT&T hasn't said crap about it..You'll just have to wait if you want it. KNOXRAID is one if not the only KK custom ROM that works flawlessly.

I have been pestering at&t customer service about it as frequently as I can. Maybe once a week.
The chat guys are really nice but they admit they dont know anything about the update. They admit it has been released over 3 months ago (by samsung to at&t) and that they have to sanction it first. They also say "i dont konw, might be never".
I got a chat guy for AT&T to admit that 4.4.2 for S4 was released 2/26/2014
So if it was this recently, note 3's update is probably coming soon.
Has anyone else received a small software update? I am currently in baseband nb4.

The title really should be changed.
1: it is misleading and makes people think it has been released
2: it has not been released so this "discussion" is exactly the same as the rest all over the forums.
3: it is a question in the OP asking for an ETA. Not really allowed and nothing has been said or heard on when it comes out. It gets released when it gets released. And since it is a question, it belongs in the QA section.

It was 37MB and then my wife had one on her S4 that was 300+MB that failed. Is it common to not be able to update over the air? I've always had to use kies to upgrade.

She got kitkat. We haven't yet. On her phone the entire system has to be bone stock to update. At least that's what I'd do just to be sure. Make sure she has a good wifi connection.

if at&t follows their usual update patterns, i expect it will be released in late april or early may (when the s5 is coming out). im assuming they're just waiting for the s5 to come out before releasing kitkat so people will buy the s5 instead of the s4 since it will be their only kitkat phone. just an educated guess

AT&T already officially released the 4.4.2 KitKat update for the S4 about 2 weeks ago.
Heya all quick question, will the root process for the AT&T S5 work for the S5 Active as well? I just picked it up yesterday, so hoping that it's a yes.
The people in the thread say yes

They are different models, so the roms probably won't be the same. There isn't the ability to use a custom recovery yet, so you can't flash a Rom anyway.

@Hashcode could do a SafeStrap for s5's and s5 Actives soon.
If we put up a bounty for it, he is more than capable of doing it.
He might even do it without that.
We can all just take care of him like Geohot is getting taken care of.
Geohot came out with a root for S5, it worked on my ATT S5 Active. From download to reboot and verify....40 seconds max.
Google play service do not work on my phone anymore. Trying to restore the phone back to factory settings now with Kies. This sucks. lost all my contacts and can't sign into google.

And to that I must say, Welcome to Android from AT&T where we lock BL's for no reason and take away features that many would call useful. Don't hold your breath. Even if root is by some miracle achieved don't expect any roms because it more than like just won't happen.

Crap. Add ATT from the start with Android and all my devices I have rooted with custom roms. Guess they have these Samsung ones really locked down?
It's not just Samsung, I think the LG G3 and Moto X may have a locked BL as well. I know HTC M8/9 doesn't.

Wrong. HTC phones come locked boot loaders just like the rest. The difference is that HTC provides a tool so you can unlock. IMO all manufacturerers should do this but I don't think any will until HTC starts taking a lot more of their business and that's obviously not going to happen this year with the M9 being such a evolutionary upgrade and all other companies going all out trying to make the best phone ever made.

Sorry, about saying HTC phones didn't have a locked BL. I forgot since I haven't had one in a while and you are right, they allow you to unlock via a tool you get from their website.
