It won't be. It'll just be a security fix.

Ffs, I just flashed the full 4.4.3 image this morning simply to clean up my phone.

You can always just flash it over minus the -w command. It'll update without losing your data

There's a new radio for the n5, is this the same for our n4?
N⁴

Dalvik is the default runtime on 4.4.4

Will fastboot flash system system.img be enough to update? Can't be bothered to start over again tbh after all that work with 4.4.3. Got too much stuff that will interfere with OTA - xposed, Cerberus, bionic libraries to name a few.

Edit your flash-all.bat and remove the -w flag in the update command. It won't wipe your data. Then execute it.
Cheers!

It is a very small update

Anyone know yet if this update also fixed the GPS "inability to lock quickly" issue?

Has anyone captured the OTA URL yet?
v Thanks!

don't know about url, but here is ota 4.4.4

So guys no bootloader update in 4.4.4 right? It's the same of 4.4.3?
Well..now I need only of radio 1.03 and a custom rom (compiled by me) 4.4.4 right?
Because I'm too busy for flash factory image..

sent from my paranoid N4

Just a question I am not an img flasher generally but is all that you guys worry about and go through worth it. I would assume just root and flashing a stock rooted 4.4.4 rom would be easier. I also have not updated my bootloader since 4.4.2 and have not seen any issues. Not flaming or anything just trying to understand why having the latest and going through such measures is worth it....
Happy flashing to you guys and I guess we all have our own lil obsessions...

Same here, i haven't applied it though, anything different? Root status?

I think it just Google security patches and HD voice feature.

There was an android police post on this like a week ago. Here you go: http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/07/30/sprint-galaxy-s4-receive-ota-software-update-l720vpufng2-bringing-minor-enhancements/

Can you get the download link?

Anyone know if this update will be an issue for a towelrooted NAE S4? Should I unroot first?

You cannot take an OTA while rooted, no matter what method you used.

Do you know what steps I would need to take to get this OTA? I might skip it completely if it's not simple enough. I'm on NAE, rooted currently. I would probably need to reflash through Odin I assume?

That would be the simplest way. Or you could wait a bit until the NG2 .tar is posted and just Odin that.

Does anyone have the FNG2.tar? Posting it would be greatly appreciated - thanks in advance

i think if you unroot and go back to the stock recovery it will update.

If any one is interested, here his another thread for NG2

Still running fine after FNG2 upgrade.
I'm rooted, got the request to update this morning, I accepted it and so far my phone is OK. I don't know what the update was for.

I was rooted on stock rom --- I took the ota by mistake not thinking. Lost Wifi and root. Had to go into recovery and restore.

New update 4.4.4 w/knock code?

I don't want to say you're making it up but I'll just say its highly unlikely Verizon almost never pushes updates out on the weekend. I definitely do hope I'm wrong though

I just hope we can root/recovery still. I'm not taking it until I know for sure. I would be so p*ssed if I couldn't use v4a, not to mention xposed! But here's to hoping!

Interesting considering the latest leak is still 4.4.2. We shall see, it would be nice if they added the knock code finally.

It'd be plastered all over the board if there was an update available, post a screen shot of your current build number if you just picked up some update.

Pretty sure their is an update to the 25a bootstack so unless you guys are running 25a then relax

Huh...this will be a pleasant surprise if it pushes through....
With Verizon.....you never know...

Leak that came out, only rom I know taking advantage of it is the one in my signature.

If I am unrooted stock 24A, the only way to install the 25A at this time would require rooting? Correct?

yes my bro

Good job broo.. I will be using this on my Z2, hope you're planning on other devices as well

And how did you root it?
by downgrading to 4.4.2 then flashing 5.0.2 via recovery?
or you used another method

Is this works on UNLOCKED Bootloaders ? I tried Nuts last version of dual recovery but it didn't work for me.
//EDIT: IT Works on UNLOCKED Bootloader. Sweet! Now we have RECOVERY on LOLLIPOP! HELL YEAH.

Thanks for this.

Systemless Root benefits

Now that google has patched systemless root, are there any more benefits to it compared to the regular root?

If you're on full stock you can unroot and flash ota's. That's about it afaik

It's currently the only method to root stock rom and kernel. And leaving /system read only and untouched seems to be marshmallow's flavor if you will.

I have been on systemless for awhile now so perhaps it has changed but dont you need a modified boot image to avoid the corrupt phone message?

Nothing at all, I run franco's. But not having to mess with it if you are running stock is an advantage. A small one but that is what the op was asking.

few possiblilities:
1. You haven't received the rollout for the new safetynet api
2. Your payment wasn't checked with safetynet this time.
3. You lucky booger.

I was going to say, they may not have "updated" android pay yet. I wonder if you don't update how that will work. Tbh, the systemless root does seem pretty moot at this point unless you love OTAs.

It is gonna get to the point that people will have to pick either root/custom roms or using things like android pay. Not a big deal personally as all mobile payments are blocked in every store here
