[Q] 66.5MB AT&T software update?

Hi,
Just for grins I clicked software update to see if there was anything available it came up and downloaded a 66MB update file. Anyone know what it is?
I am not the guinea pig for this, don't want to break root by accident. I'm currently on NC9 4.4.2 rooted by Sunderwear's method.

That is a update file that will update the phone from NC9 to NE3. It is an update that is supposed to fix all the things that the original 4.4.2 update broke. If you could, would you mind uploading the cfg file that is located in /cache/fota/?
We have the file that will update ML2 to NE3 (485MB), but we don't have this one. It would be a huge help if you could grab that file before it installs itself.
To answer your question about root, I'm going to bet that it will fail to install because you have root. But if it does install then you will most definitely lose root, however we have a root method for NE3 that can be found in this thread.
Please, please, please try to get that file, it would be a huge help.

Unable to find that location can you provide a complete path?

Try /data/fota/ instead. Basically you need to find a cfg file in the fota folder but for some reason the fota folder is in a different location for different versions of firmware.

File uploaded to Google drive and PM sent. I was looking from the wrong end.. not in root files

You're right, btw, it did not complete install. Hung at 25% and rebooted back to 4.4.2 root

If you're happy with your firmware right now and there are bugs, there's really no reason to update.

[Resolved] Stuck in Download Mode after failed flash attempt.

Okay, so I finally decided to ditch AT&T and go full Paranoid (This is not my first flashing attempt with Android devices). Got the latest version, etc. Load into BootStrap and wipe everything. Go to install PA and for some reason I had neglected to tell my build.prop (ro.product.device/name) is supposed to be "jactivelteatt"/"jactivelteuc" and not "SN-M9009". So when I started the flash process, immediate error and now I'm stuck with a phone with no OS or bootloader and can not, for the life of me, find a ROM to flash with .MD5 or .TAR that will work with ODIN. I did find "Oneclick_I537UCUAMF1" that gets all the way to the end and fails. Tried multiple times with multiple cables.
Please if anyone has any idea's, please help.

Oh god are you on the US version (SGH-I537)? If you're on the international version (I9295) ignore this post but otherwise, you need to read and take in my short rant. Trust me I wish this weren't the case, but it is, and it's important:
The Galaxy S4 Active i537 has a locked bootloader. There is no way around this, no ifs ands or buts. You simply cannot flash custom ROMs or recoveries. That's it, end of story as far as CM, CWM, AOSP and such things are concerned. That being said there is a sort of recovery called SafeStrap which you can use to make nandroid backups, flash mods and STOCK-BASED roms, but it's not a true custom recovery in the sense that we had been used to, because of this locked bootloader nightmare.
OK so I think you're gonna want to check out this thread. It's all about how to install any firmware from download mode, I think you're gonna have to go with NE3 or NH3.
Let me reiterate. NO CUSTOM ROMS. NO CWM. No Paranoid, no cyanogenmod, no AOSP, no crossing go before going directly to jail. Sorry for the stupid joke but seriously, you have got to keep your phone on stock-based roms (of which there are unfortunately few).

Yes, the at&t version i537 is the one I'm. Found some files this morning and run them in Odin but now back at bootloop. I'll check your files and see whats up on that end. It sucks because have not done anything to this phone unlike my other ones and this crap starts with this one on its own.

Well AT&T decided to completely lock us out on this particular version on this particular phone. At least we have *ROOT*.

You need to make sure you are flashing a version that is the same or more recent than the version you are currently on. You cannot downgrade your firmware or else you'll end up with a bootloop.

You're welcome to mirror just don't forget to say thanks Enjoy!

I'm waiting for designgears to make a flashable file for us.

To clarify, this flashes a stock AT&T AOF3 ROM and doesn't trip Knox, yeah? OP says it updates the bootloader. I've been under the assumption that using ODIN to alter bootloaders causes issues?

Thanks

Thanks

I also have that BO12. Is there any updates yet?

Looking for G900AUCU4BOF3 Odin tar Files.

Dose anyone have this file G900AUCU4BOF3. or Modem only. please let me know.
i looked all over and i couldn't find it. i have the OI5 latest one. but i really need that one.
Thanks in advance.

Muniz_ri had extracted of3 that has modem in it. It is not a tar though, not sure if that helps your situation.

Thank You, i will check that out.

Did you have any luck finding the Odin files. I'm being told in my situation here that I need that file. Like you I'm having trouble finding it.

i was looking for modem only, and i found it.
in your case you should flash the latest firmware which is 5.1.1, the odin tar file already on xda.

I hate to ask for someone to hold my hand but Can you point me in the right direction. I've been searching for that file for days. I'm so confused because there seems to be so many different type of files and this stuff about OC4 ,OF2, or OF3. I have no idea what the phone has. I would assume it has the newest one because it was up to day OTA before it softbricked. I guess it's OC4?. Then all these post talk about not being rooted but only using said files with said root program. At this point I have already replaced this phone with a Nexus 5X and am giving Project Fi a try. It just would be nice to get this phone fixed as a backup.

The modem file
Can you please upload the modem I'm in need of it aswell please

i also am in need of the of3 tar file. would be a great help if someone has one but i havent had any luck the last few weeks looking around the web

...And for those who are looking to upgrade to PA1, all most need to do is flash the 4 files to OI5 and from there you should be able to OTA.

I thought you could only get OTA if you have an att subscription which is not my case.

So does this mean 5.1.1 w/root?

I believe this is unrooted as I flashed it and have no root access

Im curious about the same exact thing. As im on OF3 running 5.0 and desperately want to root.

from a soft brick running oc4 to a working S5 updated
Thanks for the files!
i originally soft bricked with pa2 update and i did not have any recovery what so ever for it. Downloaded this file loaded odin and it made it work again. i flashed all files.

My stock S5 upgraded to 6.0.1 the other day and I don't like it. Can I flash this to downgrade to lollipop?

No, i think not, why? not sure but they say it will brick.

I've been wondering about this myself...
Come to think of it, let's say they did burn a qfuse in this update (which they probably did), then in order to get yourself back in working order you'd need to be able to use odin to flash a working 6.0.1 stock rom, I'd think.
The problem is that, as far as I'm aware, only the update is available not the rom itself...
That'd be a big problem for anyone trying to experiment...
Did anyone here have the problem trying to flash back to 4.4.2 after the lollipop update? This should be the same as far as treatment goes.

Is there a way to tell if the qfuse has been burned? I got a G900A before I realized that the ATT version was locked 6 ways to sunday, and have been sitting on PH3 since I got it.. However I dont know if the previous update to PH3 was applied OTA or not, considering I got the phone already factory unlocked.
Is there an easy way to tell if the current version of my rom was applied via OTA or USB?
