Awesome work bro!

This is going to save alot of folks lots of headaches...You DaMan, Fuse.:good::good:
You might want to add to the OP, IN GIANT RED LETTERS, that this is for theTMO version only, maybe that will keep most "non readers" from flashing this and bricking again..

I don't think so unless you have all the partition images. I would use my zip 1st then flash your rom

Too late. I'm on your rooted kk now. All themed up already I'm gonna go back here in a min

Yeah I forgot your zip has all those in it. My ROMs are all 4.2.2. I used your rooted 4.4 KK just to check out what 4.4 is like. This is my first time on it. Love the fact I can take advantage of "OK Google Everywhere" to just say "OK Google" from any screen no matter where but geez its a battery hog. 35% in 3 hours. I'm used to 35% in 8-9 hours.

So even though freedomflex is only for jellybean cwm will load even though I'm on kk? Just don't want to mess up my phone.

CWM will load one time only!!!! You can reboot to CWM...BUT YOU CAN NOT BOOTBACK INTO KITKAT !!!!!! You have to flash Dfuse's zip to return to 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. You cannot return to KitKat from recovery.
Once on 4.2.2 you can update or use recovery to flash stock KitKat or rooted KitKat and return to KITKAT that way but can't go from KitKat to recovery back to KitKat. You will brick and have to figure out that janky a$$ method to return to stock with lg flash tool.

New Update? [Stock GPe]

I just got an update to JWR66Y.H1. Am I late or does no one else know what I'm talking about?
Download was 15.1MB but I didn't even think to logcat and I've lost root. I just put it back to GPe stock recently, so I'm wondering if I'm just late to this update. Anyone want to chime in?

I also just received an update for my one it's 2.24.401.8 . it said something like mini + support and Google keyboard support... file was 32 mb big but I own the sense edition here in Germany

I have pushed this and then used the stock recovery to load it and has worked fine Thanks, saves me waiting for the OTA.
I've flash the update via CWM 6.0.3.1. Its work fine on ne GPE Rom. I must reflash the SuperSU, because it doesn't work after the update.
But my Kernel wasn't updated to "3.4.10-gd58931"... maybe this update also includes this kernel version not.

OTA's normally require the original/vanilla rescue system and not CWM
Is there anyway to update and keep root as thats the only thing stopping me from updating it
Just update and then flash the SuperSU package from chainfire

Then does the OTA Update do anything if you flash it with CWM?
Has anyone posted a stock system image from JWR66Y.H1 suitable for flashing with CWM recovery yet?
I know, I'm being super impatient I didn't have any luck flashing the full conversion, so I'm just running CWM Recovery + a Google Edition system image. And I want my updates! hahah.
Anyway I saw BlackJelly posted a lightly modified one, but I was wondering if anyone had done a pure stock one yet.

Yes, this is a full, flashable rom. As for Knox, this does not include the new firmware so there is no Knox to be tripped once you flash this.
Even if you ARE on the new firmware though, you have already tripped your Knox flag to 0x1 just by flashing a custom recovery, so flashing this rom will be an after-the-fact matter anyway.
Omg thank you Cnexus!!

Your the man CNexus thanks so much buddy
Thank you so much, Once you pull the firmware from an OTA device, would it be a just firmware patch flash, or would it be integrated in the rom and have to reflash the rom? Coming from HTC and we were able to just flash firmware separated from rom. Don't want to assume it's the same for samsung. Thanks again
Nice brohta, thank alot man

I'm sure someone will come up with the flashable for that soon. When they do, it will just be the firmware, not an entire rom since they are independent of one another.

We CAN make a firmware flashable, it will just be more tedious than pulling from the OTA.zip like before. The firmware partitions from a 4.3 OTA'ED device will need to be pulled using su and dd like so:
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/<firmwarePartition1> of=/sdcard/firmware1.img
dd if=/dev/block/<firmwarePartition2> of=/sdcard/firmware2.img
...
And so on for the rest of the firmware
Because once the OTA'ED device boots up again, it will have the patched firmware, so we can just grab it from there and make a flashable. Just one more step really since they decided to patch instead of updating.
Ok I will get that for you buddy so you can do what you do best

I just tried to install on a clean wipe on twrp 2.5.0.2 and i got a failed install. MD5 checks out. Just made sure and its a match with the zip on my phone with the MD5 on Android File Host. IDK what's up. I will try with a different recovery and see if that helps.

would i get that after trying to install (fail), then booting up my phone with my current rom? or is this done within twrp?
i'm content with 4.2 but might just wanna flash the latest
Is there a big difference? features/performance?

As exciting as it is...if you value your root access DON'T install this yet! As it stands now, Once your on the L bootloader their's no going back. Give the dev's some time to sort it out first

I think so but you have to be bone stock to do it...hence no traces of prior root. Otherwise it fails to update.

I'm bone stock and don't care for root. It took 4-5 hours to download and install the update. I had to clear room first too, before it would actually install.
However, my Active is much zipper than it ever was, and that's including the ****ty 4.4.4 update which brought it to a slow crawl.

So perhaps something came up on one or more of the test devices not previously seen, it happens.
If that is the case, I personally prefer the that they pull it to fix the issue before it makes it out too thousands of users phones. And suspending rollout makes more business sense than causing customers problems, perhaps even severe problems. :good:

So perhaps something came up on one or more of the test devices not previously seen, it happens.
If that is the case, I personally prefer the that they pull it to fix the issue before it makes it out too thousands of users phones. And suspending rollout makes more business sense than causing customers problems, perhaps even severe problems. :good:

i'm thinking more and more that this will be the case.
even more insulting would be for them to release 5.0.0 and then stop there.

I hope not... They should release both updates at the same time.. It's most likely going to be 5.0.1 and possibly the last update. I find myself checking the sprint support page almost 3 times a day for the past month.

Neither, it's source code. You can't install it.

Wait until it's released
Is there any change on the root impossibility without flashing rooted rom? I've been away from the game forever. Sorry
We won't know until it is released. This update hasn't been released yet. Most likely the typical root method work (cf atuo root and towel root) supersu is already up to date for lollipop OS so if you are rooted just wait till someone makes the stock rom a flashable zip or if you are stock just use any method to root. Remember to back up internal storage as unlocking the bootloader wipes everything.

Considering every other Samsung phone on Lollipop, including the S6, has been rooted the same way as KitKat (CF Auto Root or flash SuperSU.zip in recovery), I think we'll be fine. "Unlocking the bootloader wipes everything"? There are so many things wrong with that statement. Odining a stock tar is the only thing that wipes internal storage (and not all of them do). There is no unlocking of the bootloader on Samsung phones. You flash a custom recovery or if using CF Auto Root it flashes the su binary to system/bin... no wiping on either.

Lol sorry. Haven't Odin back to stock in a while. All i remember was i did something in the "hook my phone up to pc " step then days of grief that i lost everything on my internal storage ...

Ota 4.25.651.18

Got a prompt for an update to patch the stagefright vulnerablity, but it says it also includes bug fixes, performance and stability improvements and added features.
I doubt its 5.1, I'll have to RUU to stock to take it, but wanted to ask if anyone already did.
@OMJ have you heard anything?
Jumped the gun ... Non 5.1

Thanks for sharing, I guess I'll go back to MIUI now
Hmm, I just did the OTA. It looked like it flashed okay, but now I'm getting a weird error message when using motion gestures. Says "Motion Launcher is unavailable because an update is still being installed. Please enter your SIM PIN to finish the update process." No idea what this means or what I should do...

only that it exists, sounds pretty minor...I'll have the HK OTA soon, if someone can upload the non-HK OTA, so I can update the firmware thread...

i have the ZIP downloaded of the OTA untouched for the HK edition 4.25.654.14 to 4.25.654.18
it just a a security fix, the ZIP file is about 26MB
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u....25.654.14_release_446342sl35jgyctdkwklc6.zip
NOTE: If you're updating with this ZIP, YOU MUST NEED THE STOCK RECOVERY, NO CUSTOM RECOVERY!
Petition: if anyone can make it flashabe via TWRP i'll be thankful all my life!
Edit: Here's the Recovery of ht HK edition: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19814115/recovery_signed-4.25.654.14.img

I can't say for S-OFF, but I was able to re-root with no hassle.

If you want to update, you need to flash the original recovery to update the phone and then reflash the custom recovery.

That much I understand. But I don't want to update with this OTA if it will reverse s-off.
Hence my question...

OTAs will never reverse S-OFF, at least I have never heard of one doing so....I guess technically it could, but HTC does not have a history of doing that. You have to enter a specific fastboot cmd to go back to S-ON

OTA update
I received my OTA update and accepted to install but it goes to TWRP and then I am out of luck. I unblocked my HTC One M8 HK edition using "Enabling 3G (UMTS) in all the countries" somewhere on this forum. Any alternatives: do nothing, wait for a developers software, etc.?
