Where is located firmware on my pc when I download from KIES? In what temporary folder?
Swiping from dark side of Galaxy S5.
C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Temp
You have to be quick to copy it once you see the Zip file created from the .tmp file copy the zip quickly. As kies finishes decompressing it will be deleted.

Ok, so I'm trying to add icons to this theme, I don't have a computer, let that be known. So my exact process, all done my phone is:
Open androzip
Rename mtz to zip
Extract zip to folder
Rename icons to icons.zip
Extract icons.zip into folder
Replace icons with proper activity names.
Multiple select and zip icons, not the folder but the individual files.
Rename to icons
Move to parent folder
Edit description.xml
Zip files into themename.zip
Rename zip to mtz
Open file explorer and click new mtz
Screen flashes and I get warning message of "theme does not have the required resources" and closes.
Please, tell me where I'm going wrong?

You don't HAVE to edit the xml.
To select a theme you have to do it in theme manager not file explorer.
Um, thanks, but I doubt it's my problem, I've tried that.

Upload your mtz and I'll check it out.
I know sometimes when I'm editing mtzs on my phone I'll zip a folder by accident instead of just the files.
If it's saying no resource something, it's not reading the files. Possibly a folder too much....

Thanks again.

Alright....yeah you had the icon folder doubled up. icons.zip/icons.zip/
But i fixed it for you and made the preview folder. All you have to do is take off the .zip extension as you could see it's "hfg.mtz.zip" i just threw the.zip to be able to upload it to xda.
Cheers
thanks guy~
This is the .cfg file of the 4.3 OTA for the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active (i537) from AT&T on 1/14/14 for those who are unable to receive OTA because they are not on MF3. (The file doesn't download as a zip via OTA)
Using this on another device would likely cause problems so I wouldn't suggest it.
Also, I did not update because I want to keep root.
Instructions:
1) Download the .cfg file (links below)
2) Copy it over to your phone's internal storage
3) Using a root manager app like 'ES File Manager' or 'Root Browser', copy the .cfg file from internal storage to /data/fota
4) Make sure you have KNOXAgent.apk and wssyncmldm.apk in /system/app for this to take place. A lot of people either changed the name, deleted, or moved the apk for rooted purposes.
**If you replaced Knox and wssync, you MUST reboot for effects to take place since the odex tells the apk what to do on boot**<<
5) Go to Settings>More>About Device>Software Updates>Continue Update
OR the method below which worked for some people (I can't confirm this works or not)
1) Download .cfg file (links below)
2) Change file to a .zip
3) Copy to phone's external storage (the internal will get wiped)
4) Flash via regular recovery
MD5 for .cfg file: F43D00ABDC4FE4D5BFB305CC6598FEB3
If you run into any problems, I won't be much help since I'm not a dev.
REMEMBER! You will lose root with the update. Don't say you didn't know because the warning is here<<<<

Loading it to Google Drive right now. Bandwidth got capped on Dropbox, any suggestions for a place to upload it?
Would it be possible to get some help getting some stock files from the /system/app folder? I modded/removed a few of the stock apps and seem to have lost a big chunk of my original backups. I believe these apps are why the update fails for me as the updater script checks a bunch of the files SHA1 checksums. Seeing as on my phone these apps are missing or modded I figured if I could acquire the stock copies it may finally work.
Files I need, and corresponding odex if possible: (a full copy of the /system/app folder would be awesome if possible)
Blurb.apk
Chrome.apk
Flipboard.apk
Peel.apk
Phonesky.apk
PlusOne.apk
SamsungWatchON.apk
SecLauncher3.apk
I may also need "/system/media/shutdown.qmg" because I know at one time I had changed it, but I cant for the life of me remember if I put the original back
tried everything followed to a T n the option to continue the update is greyed out still
Won't work?
Continue update is still greyed out for me too...
I was on stock MF3 and rooted with activeroot only so I could copy this to the /data/fota folder.

Are you able to root with any method? It seems as though no one knows about rooting 4.3. This thread has a root method for the firmware leaked before official ota: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2606550 I really need someone to test it so I know if it's safe to go to 4.3.

AFAIK you don't need to have all of those to get the update going cause I have several of those deleted since I got the phone.

you will lose root with the official OTA and so far there's no confirmation if SafeRoot method works.

Thanks AjC - Just to be clear, do I need these files for "Continue Update" to recognize the update file? I'm confused, I made no modifications other than root in order to access data/fota.

Hello,
Recently I tried to flash (using HumberOS) from CM9 to CM11.
The install failed due to an assert failure, so I looked it up on XDA and found an answer: format /system and /data on a HumberOS thread.
It worked, until it got to the stage to detect the device.
It tried testing for a .prop device model, but mine was "" (empty).
I tried editing the update-script file, but only to find that it said .zip was bad or the installation aborted for no reason.
I thought I could restock, only to find that FUS could not find a link and SamFirmware (SamMobile) said "File not Found".
Does any one have the UK stock ROM (I tried some more links on XDA, but instead an advert replaced the window with software (malicious))?
A Heimdall flashable file would be nice, as I am on OS X.
I have 30% battery left too and the battery icon appears but freezes.
P.S. Also, why does it say the .zip is bad? I'm using Store mode in Keka... I thought that was the right method... Maybe the default .zip method (compressed) will work? I don't want to waste the battery...
You should use 7zip.
Open the zip but don't extract.
Drag out only the updater script and edit it.
Then drag it bag into the zip.
Android is linux based. The file names are case sensitive. Unzipping to windows will destroy that.

I fixed it ages ago (I can't remember what I did). Anyway, I don't think this is the problem as OS X has the same basic file structure as Linux, and I am using Keka which is based on p7zip.
EDIT: Sorry, that makes sense now, as HFS+ is not case sensitive unless you set it up that way when you format the disk.
Hi guys, I'm trying to root by following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147852&highlight=root

Did you do unzip
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app
No, I hadn't, see here I'm confused. Step 1 says unzip, but Step 9 says select unzipped file, so which should it be?
To decide, I did a little research and found out Odin should open .tar and .tar.md5 files directly, so I figured it wasn't necessary to unzip.
Anyway it doesn't find it either way, I just tried unzipping but I can't find the .img file with Odin either =/ What am I doing wrong?
.rsrc folder
One more thing, when I try to open the Downloads folder where I left the .tar file, all I can see through Odin is this .rsrc folder that apears to be empty.
Try to download it again
And unzip it
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app
Solved!
Thank you both, I figured it out! I know it's dumb...but I didn't realize you had to run everything in Administrator mode (apparently). I tried this and it worked, it seems I was running Odin as Admin but in a non-Admin account and the files were hidden or something...
Anyway, sorry to bother you with my dumb question, but I hope this can help another dumb noob like me!
I'm ridiculously happy with my brand new CM 11 now, time to play with it!

It is a bug that they fixed in 5.1. The folder is invisible, but it is there.
In es file explorer open the menu, add a favorite for the path write /storage/Android/obb
And for the name whatever you want. Then you can see the folder.
Or if you upgrade to 5.1 it will be visible from es file explorer already.

It 's not a kitkat bug which is why it does not affect other phones. It only affects moto x gen 2, and only on versions before 5.1.
