download-droid-4-jelly-bean-update-98-72-18

Yesterday, Verizon approved Jelly Bean for the DROID 4 as build 98.72.18, but as is typical, Motorola sent the first wave of updates out to members of their feedback network (soak testers) this morning. And since that happened, the file has been pulled and made available to everyone with the device.
We have instructions for you below, so if you do not feel like waiting for the update to be pushed to your device, feel free to jump below.
The official changelog can be found here. here
Instructions:
*These are the instructions from the RAZR HD update, but they should work for the DROID 4 as well.
*You have to be running the official Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.4) update of build 6.16.217. You also have to be completely stock.
1. Download the update file here: here
2. Drop that file on your SD card, not internal storage.
3. Turn phone off, and reboot into recovery.
*Hold both Volume Up and Down along with Power until you see the boot menu. Use Volume Down to hover over “Recovery.” Press Volume Up to select it.
*Once you see the Android and Exclamation point, press both Volume Up and Down at the same time.
4. Select “apply update from external storage.”
*Use Volume keys to highlight, Power button to select.
5. Then select the file you downloaded from above. It should already be on your SD card.
6. Watch as the update applies.
7. Once finished, choose the “reboot” option and enjoy!
DON'T FORGET TO SAY THANKS!

FYI, you will lose root if you do this without Voodoo unrooting first, as I just mistakenly did

yes ots's will cause you to loose root

So do I need to De-root and remove safestrap before installing this, or can I just install and then root this?

Safeboot and restore complete stock ICS. Don't worry about losing root. RAZR blade method is confirmed to work. Unless u have no access to PC then yes backup root with voodoo only if u are using super user latest binary. Restore root after jb update.

does anyone know if this changes the kernel as with gingerbread to ics? curious to know if my ics custom rom will work in safestrap still or if its a done deal

Sorry for spamming on this topic, but just tried to install this after disabling safestrap and done factory reset.
got to recovery and chose the file, it started install but then gave error
"Assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/bin/logwrapper", "aHASHCODE" ,"ANOTHER HASHCODE")
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
Status 7
Installation aborted."
EDIT: OK I have to flash it completely stock with RSDlite and clean package, just downloading it..
EDIT2: Just installing this update, clean ICS with RSDlite helped

i have not upgraded yet as i allways wait for some type of working sbf..sence this will upgrade your device to jellybean i am sure it will include new kernels

Is it possible to revert to the OEM 4.0.4 (6.16.217) firmware via the existing SBF?
Just curious, I haven't made the jump to JB yet.

Like rruleford said the only way to totally wipe/flash the entire phone would be to wait for the xml fastboot files. What you COULD try is placing the JB OTA update on your external sd card, then booting into stock recovery, wiping data and cache, and then re-flashing the update manually. It should be able to flash over top of itself just fine. Not sure if it would fix anything but might be worth a shot.

ok thanks you all, i guess i can wait for the fastboot files then.. it hasnt rebooted on me all day so far. might have been a glitch with apps i installed that no longer work well on jb as they did on ics

aah dang sussed it. seems u can now reboot the fone by holding power button for 3-4 seconds. mine gets stuck once in a while so thats what i think was causing the reboots. any chance there's a way to turn that off?

[ROM][ODIN]SPH-L720 MF9 (MF9 Modem/Kernel/Bootloader/ROM - Full Restore - Unrooted)

First, a HUGE thanks goes @garwynn for being my partner through all of this and then to @sfhub (for teaching me how to create Odin One-Click.exe files and creating the original thread I'm using as a template for this one), @agat63 (for helping me get the hang of what sfhub started teaching me), @MoHoGalore for helping test and put together so many of these one-clicks and to everyone else in our community who makes this possible!
This Odin One-Click.exe contains the Stock MF9 Bootloader, Kernel, Modem and ROM for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 (SPH-L720).
There has been no change to the ROM from the initial build released by Samsung.
This will NOT trigger the Yellow Triangle NOR will it increment the Odin flash count.
This one-click resets your whole phone to the stock MF9 experience, similar to a factory restore and it will wipe all data.
Instructions:
1: Backup anything important and Disable any PINs.
During this process your phone's software will be returned to the Stock setup. All system data will be lost. To be safe, it is best to archive your backup off your phone, ie on your PC or Dropbox.
2: Install Samsung USB/Android drivers (if necessary).
Samsung Drivers Download Link
3: Download the MF9 Stock ROM One-Click.
SPH-L720_MF9_Stock_Factory_Restore(compressed archive).exe (Resets user data)
4: Unzip One-Click ROM using 7zip (this package is a self-extracting exe you should just be able to double-click on it after download and it will do the rest).
5: Start the Odin One-Click.
Navigate to the location where the SPH-L720_MF9_Stock_Factory_Restore.exe was saved upon extract from the 7Zip archive.
Double-click on SPH-L720_MF9_Stock_Factory_Restore.exe. *On Vista or newer, you may need to right-click on the file and Run as Administrator.
6: Place phone in Download Mode.
- Power phone completely off.
- Press and hold Volume Down, Home and Power buttons, all at the same time.
- Release the buttons only when the ‘Warning!!’ message appears.
- Press [Volume Up] to enter Download mode.
7: Connect USB cable to PC and phone.
Odin should show a yellow COM port in the second column. If you do not see a yellow COM port, you may need to run the Odin One-Click as Administrator and/or unplug/plugin the USB cable after starting Odin One-Click.
8: Start Odin flash process.
Press [Start].
9: Complete - PASS!
Status should change to green PASS! At this point your phone should automatically reboot.
Android Instructions:
Download and install ZArchiver on your phone. Use it to unpack the Odin One-Click 7zip self-extracting exe file (long press on the 7zip exe. Select "Open As Archive". Select the One-Click.exe and then select Extract). Use Mobile Odin to Open File the SPH-L720_MF9_Stock_Factory_Restore.exe. FYI - Modem will not flash with Mobile Odin.
The boot process will take slightly longer than usual during which time you'll see the Sprint 4G logo screen.
Congratulations! You've flashed the Factory Restore MF9 build!

This does not add to the flash counter but it doesn't reset it. Not having the S4 I can't tell you 100% but I believe Triangle Away works for that.

It can be touchy at times but it does work. Also found that if I go to an older stock then OTA up, it resets. Some have had the same experience, some haven't on the latter method. If I ever want to be 100% sure, I do both; TA first, then Odin an old stock and OTA up. Had to do that once for factory repair.

Quick question. I know sometimes going back to complete stock doesn't change the binary and system status to official. Has anyone had issues with that on this one click?
Just trying to prepare for the ota next week.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

Question for ya @rwilco12
Will flashing this allow me to take the OTA that comes out supposedly in 2 days? Or should I go back to MDL and take the OTA to MF9, then wait for the new OTA?

So if I use mobile odin it stats in the op that the modem will not flash do I have to manually flash one or will it just remain MF9 im a noob on Sammy devices

The S4_GPE_ROOT has an older SuperSU zip file in it. Grab the latest one from chainfire as they've done updates for 4.4 recently. Just delete the one from the S4_GPE_ROOT directory and drop in the new one. The script will automagically pick it up. After that, just run the script and follow directions. That's all there is to it. Make sure you have Koush's ADB driver installed. It's included in the S4_GPE_ROOT zip.

Because I flashed this. It installed, and it wasn't in English in initial setup. Was in German, or Dutch, or some other European language. I was able to choose English setup though. Got it going, made my way to Settings, About Phone, and said model I9505. Modem didn't work, so no wifi or phone signal. Plus no Sprint boot logo, and the Samsung boot logo had a little music jingle with it, Sprint does not.

Nexus 5 Auto-Updater 4.4.4 with Root Restore

Introduction
This kit is designed to update Stock rooted Nexus 5 devices to Android 4.4.4 while retaining all user data as well as root permissions. This will also work on non-rooted devices with an unlocked Bootloader.

to back up all data. Also I am not liable for any lost information.
# Please configure all ADB drivers

until the device boots into Fastboot.
# Extract all files, open the Unfathomable EXE file in the provided folder and follow the prompts Carefully.
Instructions
Run the EXE. After your device reboots, boot your Nexus into recovery. TWRP recovery should boot. Select the reboot option and reboot system.
You will be prompted "Swipe to flash SuperSU". This will restore all Root permissions.

Just want to thank the op for making it so easy

It's a good idea but a little long winded when you can just flash a rooted stock ROM.zip via recovery.

Hello guys,
I am a newbie in this. I have Nexus 5 with Stock rooted 4.4.2. Will this method work for me to update to 4.4.4?
Thank you!

Yes, it is not a requirement to be running 4.4.3. Let me know if you have any difficulties.

Out of Memory
I'm getting "error: out of memory" shortly after the update starts. It sends and writes the bootloader then reboots into the bootloader and gives me the error. What am I doing wrong?

A couple troubleshooting methods to help with your issue. First try booting into the recovery and wiping cache. Also try using a different USB cable as well as a different port. If this does not resolve your issue please contact me and I will find a resolution.

Same thing here. Already wiped cache but no memory message appears.

Thanks!

Thank you for bringing the issue to my attention, and no problem I'm glad I was able to help.

I also don't want to offend the developer as he did spend a lot of time on this. I do respect him, but I wanted to share my opinion. The last couple of OTA's I just downloaded the update straight from the OTA thread to my phone, I then flashed them in TWRP. I didn't loose TWRP and it even gives an option to install SuperSU binaries if it doesn't see them.
However, I do want to stay on topic. I'm curious, for people who use xposed, would this tool allow an update without needing to uninstall modules? I'm just trying to see the differences between your method and flashing an OTA. Also, would people with custom kernels be able to update as well? If they can, then this would prove useful for those with custom kernels.
Again, I don't mean to offend the OP. I'm just curious about the differences/benefits.

Oh ok. That would make sense why the file is so big. So then, isn't this basically deleting the -w from the batch file and flashing normally? Well and retaining root.
