As documented in the ATT Stock Firmware thread, if a phone has the ANDROID 4.3 ( I537UCUBML2 (4.3) ) release, steps to update/upgrade to 4.4 are as follows.
1. It may be possible to update normally via OTA using ATT sim and simply access Settings, About Device, Software Update
2. Download from the link above (ATT Stock Firmware Thread) the Android 4.4 ( I537UCUCNE3 (4.4.2) ) 444 MB file,
3. Rename the 444 MB file to update.zip
4. Set SG4A phone into Developer Mode and enable USB debugging
5. Move the update.zip to a microSD card and insert into phone
6. Hold down simultaneously Volume Down, Power and Home Button and wait for Stock recovery/Downloading menu to appear
7. Select update.zip and let phone update ML2 to NE3
Did I miiss anything ? Is everything above in correct sequence ?
Yes, I understand that the phone being Unlocked has no bearing on the outcome, the steps are the same with a locked vs unlocked device.
Yes, I understand I can root later and that it may not be possible to downgrade due to bootloader changes in this release but the goal here is simply to Update/Upgrade a Stock ATT Android 4.3 to 4.4
Thank you
Just documenting my progress....
While all my ML2 stock unrooted phones FIND the ATT update file (444 MB) simply by using About Device, Software Update and download this file just fine over WIFI, they all fail the actual update process.
Now am not sure why that is happening as they all progress to 29 percent update after reboot, then display Update failed/unsuccessful and reboot again, booting up to 4.3 ML2
Again, these are stock unrooted ATT i537 SG4A phones, only thing is that they are all Unlocked.
Am also not sure what will occur if I manually try to update via Stock recovery, Perhaps nothing bad at all, if even in the worst case these just fail and then reboot back to 4.3
Just how do I go about applying the downloaded NE3, now moved over to a microSD card ?
1. powered phone back on holding volume down, power and home and am sitting on "Downloading..Do not turn off target !!!"
2. had setup phone to developer mode, usb debuggin enabled and I had installed latest Samsung USB drivers on laptop

Volume up + power will get you in stock recovery...select apply update from SD card, then choose the update.zip file.

1. Volume Down + Power + Home gets me to warning message
2. Volume Up gets me to "Downloading......." message
3. Volume Up + Power does *nothing* and if I hold it for more than 5 seconds the phones shut Off.
Even if I try to just gently and briefly touch Volume Up + Power, nothing happens. The long hold does a shut down.
Have tried this now on 6 different SG4A phones running i537 and ML2 ATT Stock image
Phones are not rooted and unlocked, no mods ever done to any of them.

You have to look in the upper left corner screen, you will see, in blue, in very small letters, something like recovery loading or starting...as soon as you see that, release buttons, should load to recovery. I know on my phone, timing is everthing...too early and phone starts, too long and phone shuts off.

Volume up + power....I think other than using the stock recovery (you have to use it to abd sideload), you should be able to Odin ML2 and then take the OTA, provided you are on a carrier that sent it out...stateside means AT&T.

OK
So even though I am running stock, un-modded, non-rooted, ATT ML2 v4.3 already, I need to re-do I537UCUBML2 all over ?
that seems odd,... being these are new phones but if ML2 must be applied on top of ML2, ok then ...
and yes, these are on ATT

There maybe something in your original 4.3 that won't allow update...wouldn't hurt to start with a fresh 4.3.
I started with a fresh ML2, downloaded the 1.2 GB image and used Odin 3.09 to flash
Phone works fine but can't seem to be able to master the subtle keypresses to run Stock Recovery and apply the 444 MB NE3 update to v4.4.2
As soon as I press Volume Up and Power after seeing the "Downloading...." phone either reboots or shuts off
Will keep trying

That's because you're using the key combo to enter download mode when you should be using the key combo to enter recovery. Search for the key combo you should be using, it's been posted a ton of times.
Found this video, it helped to figure it out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8TOJkBOZfs
Interestingly, the 444 MB update from ML2 to NE3 using a microSD card wiped all settings on the phone, accounts, downloads, etc... but of course once signed in to google, restored all back in about one hour
towelroot also worked but not sure if it is designed NOT to be persistent in that I had to access it again when phone was deliberately turned off to enable SU again. perhaps that is by design. it does enable apparently SU for "this session only"

1. What is the point in initially rooting, when you have to re-root it back into the stock firmware to flash custom ROM?
I got my phone back with these new (or old?) settings:
Firmware Version: 2.1- update1
Kernel Version 2.6.29, [email protected]#2
Build number: ECLAIR.UXJI2
2. Does this mean my phone is already rooted?
3. What is my course of action next if I want a custom ROM?
- would it be step 2 in this guide? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
- would I be rooting AGAIN?
Kind of new to the Android scene, and it's kind of overwhelming. I have exhausted the stickies and the MUST READS, if I could get some help, it would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.
icedd,
I do not believe that you are rooted. Looks like you have pure stock Eclair out of the box with Rogers.
And here's a little info for ya...
In the days of Eclair and Froyo, rooting ur phone was needed initially in order to get the ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM) on ur phone. And from there once you had copied an Eclair or Froyo Rom to the internal sdcard of the phone, you could use the CWM to flash (install) the Rom that the Developer had made.
Later, once the Devs started baking (building in) the CWM into the kernels that were included in their Roms, it was realized that if you just used Odin to flash that dev kernel to ur phone you could then just reboot into the CWM and from there flash the dev's Rom. So in fact, you do not have to be rooted to install a custom dev rom. But you need to be familiar with the use of Odin and CWM Recovery.
And as far as the Gingerbread Roms, well... that is a different story- kinda.
Your best bet, as you have stated that you have read a lot, is to read and read some more. And you could also go to mobiletechvideos.com on youtube -- there are excellent videos there, that are very instructional - from the basics to the very advanced. So, please check that youtube channel out. You will not be disappointed.
Don't be discouraged. There is a lot to learn at first, but you'll get it.
And one more thing, if you are gonna start flashing roms, then you really need to buy a "Jig". Because you will need it and it will pay for itself the first time you use it.
Thanks for your input.
I haven't come across someone with a Build number of ECLAIR.UXJI2, or someone with a Baseband version of JI2. Does this mean I am already on stock firmware? Or not?
I don't know if I should do the oneclickroot or the update.zip now.
edit: I cannot even get into Recovery mode. Something tells me I won't be able to go there because I don't see the AT&T screen. I still have Rogers when I turn on the phone normally. I would need the Odin3 One-click to go truly back to stock first?
so that is stock already.... if you just want to root your stock eclair then you can do update.zip or oneclick. if you were planning to go to a GB rom then you may as well skip that and just use odin...
but it would depend on what rom you wanted to end up with...
keep at it you'll get there
Yes I have successfully rooted my phone.
The current problem I have right now is that I cannot get into Recovery mode with the 3 button method, which is required if I want MIUI (which is what I'm shooting for).
However, I can get it through CWM Recovery, which is the same thing assumably?
edit: Also, I cannot get into Download mode without the ADB command method. For Volume UP+Down + Power Button, it leads me to the battery standby screen, and then into a battery charging screen.

You don't use the power button when plugging in USB and holding both volume rockers. Tryit. Volume up/down, plug in USB. Should be dl mode. Unless you have I9000 bootloaders. In that case, volume down and insert USB, or volume down and power without USB.
I followed what you said and these are the results.
Volume up + Down + USB = Battery Standby + Battery Charging screen
Volume down + USB = Battery Standby + Battery Charging screen
Volume down + power =Normal Startup
If you press and hold all 3 at the same time, does it take you to recovery?

Try it again. Its very common for it not to work on the first couple of attempts. Hold both volume keys and then plug in the USB to the phone.
Tried both of your suggestions again, a couple of times.
Pressing all three buttons = Normal Bootup, although I do get an extended Rogers loading screen from this, but no recovery whatsoever. (nvm, when I normally boot up, there is this Rogers loading screen)
Holding both volume keys + USB = Battery Standby screen --> Battery charging screen
Is it because of any of this?
Firmware Version: 2.1- update1
Kernel Version 2.6.29, [email protected]#2
Baseband Version: I896UXJI2
Build number: ECLAIR.UXJI2
Sidenote: Does my baseband version have to be completely correct in order to flash custom ROM? I have been told that this is Rogers STOCK, and I have already rooted.
edit: I will use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&postcount=36 to try and get back to JH7 first actually. Hopefully I am doing this right..
Baseband version is the modem. that is it. nothing at all to do with your ability to flash anything.
Sounds like you have no button combo.
Would the Rogers Captivate be compatible with the 3 button fix? I am looking into it now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?annota...&feature=iv&v=qXMqLpnTPh0&src_vid=ka_O_3Wgw6A
The reason I'm hesitant on doing this is because you are suppose to see the AT&T screen flash before you let go of the buttons and see recovery mode. But I am on stock Rogers.
I do not recommend the old 3 button fix for anything. I would recommend flashing the att I897 GB bootloaders instead. It will replace the Rogers boot splash with the ATT world phone boot splash, though.
I just checked out the appropriate link in your signature.
Would this process include me to use Oden's OneClick?
Download the package from here
Extract OneClickI897UCKF1-bootloaders.exe
Restart the phone in Download Mode
Run OneClickI897UCKF1-bootloaders.exe - with administrator permissions if on Windows 7 or Vista!

How am I supposed to get on Download mode if that is what I am trying to get?
I am getting confused by new and old methods of doing things.
I don't mean to be rude, but if you don't know how to get into download mode, you need to do more research.
I already stated that the only way I can go onto Download mode is using the ADB commands. That requires for my phone to be plugged it into the computer.
The method you suggested me instructed that the program and Download mode to both be turned on before connecting the phone to the computer.
This cannot work in my case, as I am looking for a 3 button fix.
^
Since u can get into download mode through ADB, then just have the Odin already opened before you type the command to reboot download. Problem solved.--U will be able to use Odin.

Ok so what you do is use adb to reboot into download mode. Once you do that unplug the phone from the computer. Now open odin and then plug your phone back in. (while still in download mode)
Now odin should recognize your phone and you should be able to flash any odin package you want. I would flash the uckj3 package followed by boogs kj3 kernel. From there you will be able to do whatever your heart desires with your phone.
Edit: for what its worth uxji2 is the rogers version of android 2.1 all of the rogers firmwares start with UX. UXJL1 is the 2.2 version and UXKH2 is 2.3.3
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
My jig is hopefully already on its way. I have watched multiple videos of his, a couple more than once even, but the problem is that many of the programs he uses are outdated (say, the 3 button fix). Understandably so, the Captivate is getting old, and I only recently got it. It's just difficult to decide what is the safer, most compatible option.

Tried it with pluged in to PC as well.
Any help will be appreciated
Thanx

Hello abdurm, could you tell us your current firmware? You would require to give us details from Settings > About phone.
Also, did you try flashing anything? If so, what was it?
By pressing the Volume Down button + Home button + Power button simultaneously, does your device enter Download mode?

1] Download the pre-rooted stock Gingerbread firmware, SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip and extract it to get the SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.tar file.
2] After doing so, run PC ODIN, select the PDA tab in it and point to the extracted file (SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.tar). Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time will be selected by default. Do not select anything else.
3] Put your device in Download Mode and then connect it to your PC via the USB cable. The ID:COM label in PC ODIN will turn yellow indicating your device is connected and recognised.
4] Click on the Start button in PC ODIN and wait for the label above ID:COM to say Pass. After it does so, disconnect your device from your PC.
Your device will reboot and you will be on a stock Gingerbread firmware with root privilege.

Hello again abdurm, I am glad to learn your device is up and running again. :highfive:
Now that you are on a rooted firmware, I would advice you not to avail an OTA update as there is a very high likelihood of it breaking/undoing the root privilege.
Personally, I have not ventured into Ice Cream Sandwich yet and thus I have no right to guide you with the process of acquiring it. But, based on your quoted post may I ask you if you desire to have stock Ice Cream Sandwich with or without root privilege?
I recommend you thoroughly read dr.ketan's threads which explain the subject at hand.
Here are the official stock LG E960 (Nexus 4) ROMs for each carrier.
Since the phone isn't actually released to the public yet until the 13th, I have no way of knowing if these are in beta still, or not.
I will modify this more as time goes on, and try to keep up-to-date with any and all releases/leaks/etc.. for all of you.
These files are in TOT format, and are loaded just like a regular BIN file through Emergency Mode via LGNPST.
You will be required to have all of the proper Generic Components and Models installed for this, as well.
I will try to provide links for everything that is required, after I upload the firmwares.
Until the phone gets released to the public, please don't ask me questions such as: "Is this rootable?" "Is this 4.2.x?" "Is this unlocked?" or "Will you father my children?"

That's what I'm thinking
There will be a single factory image available from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images shortly after the device is released. This won't be carrier or country specific and so I don't really see the need for a 'stock firmware' thread if it's going to be one file and/or a link to the official place where you can always download the latest version.
It could be useful as an archive of older firmwares once the phone starts getting subsequent releases.

Thank you, I looked around for a few before I posted it, and couldn't find anything regarding stock firmware (that wasn't a dump, anyway.)
For everybody else; I'm sorry I haven't been active over the past few days, have been kind of busy with work.
I was unaware that they would all contain the same firmware for every region, because when I originally posted this thread, each country had a different file name; however, they're all the same file name now.
Well, I'll still archive any and all firmware that is released here, regardless of the other thread, and post any leaks that LG is testing, along with other tools.
I have the oem IMEI tool used for creation/repair, but I'll look into that and release more info. once I get my hands on the phone.
Also, I have the ability to add IMEI into LG's pool.
Thanks. A few questions:
Is there a way to break up the "LGE960AT-00-V10c-NXS-XX-OCT-25-2012-JVP15Q-USER+0" file into the images for the corresponding partitions on the N4?
Can you post the latest LGNPST tool?

power off phone. while your usb is plugged into your phone hold both volume up
and volume down and power. that's how I've done it everything on my OG.

Strange. When my N4 if power off, and I plug it into my PC, then hold volume up and down, and press and hold power, it takes me to the bootloader, not download mode. Any thoughts?

I do not know how the N4 is. these are the guides for the Optimus G which definitely should be the same for the N4
I've heard that for N4 phones. the bootloader should be unlocked. although I know on my OG it didn't matter if it was or not.
The easiest way for me was to POWER OFF DEVICE. while it's off... holding both volume up + volume down then plug
your usb cable while holding both volume buttons..
I hope this helps..
Code:
From then power off state press and hold Volume Up + Down and then press Power.
If this does not work then try again except release the power before the LG
logo shows up. The phone's screen will says "Download Mode Do Not Unplug".
[B]OR:[/B]Connect phone to computer, power off, and then power on, holding down
the power button and both volume buttons
Wait for the drivers to be detected and installed. Once they are run LGNPST.
To do so do the following: Click Start - All Programs (if applicable) -LGNPST
Select LGNPST_LS970.dll for the DLL file and then for the .bin file, use the
bin file that you renamed from tot to bin.
If LGNPST errors out at 85%, after a few minutes turn your phone off and
hold the power button until the phone powers on, then release
[B]From Powered Down Device[/B]
Volume Up + Power = Boot into Fastboot Mode
Volume Down + Volume Up + Power (While Plugged into Computer) = Download Mode
Volume Down + Volume Up (While PLUGGING into Computer) = Download Mode
edit: it seems that my LGOG is inverted with the volume controls.. volume down = volume up.
that is only when im running mako bootloader and recovery that's modified for my phone.
for instance in cwm volume up would move it down.
but it's reverted back properly when im on my original one for the lgog
LGE960 mako Service Manual English
I have LGE960AT-00-V10c-NXS-XX-NOV-14-2012-JVP15L-FACTORY_0
and as well LGE960AT-00-V10c-NXS-XX-OCT-25-2012-JVP15Q-USER+0 if you guys like I can upload.
I'd be interested, I have been looking at JVP15Q with a hex editor to try and figure out how to extract the files without using LGNPST.
Do you also have the log files for JVP15Q when opened with LGNPST? That'd make things go much faster.

How to Install CWM Recovery on Galaxy S4 Active:
Put your GS4 GT-I9295 in download mode. To do so, turn off your phone completely and then turn it on by pressing and holding Volume Down + Home + Power key at the same time, you should get a screen showing a warning and asking to continue, press Volume Up to continue.
Now your phone should be in downloading mode. Connect your phone to your PC.
As soon as Odin detects your phone the ID:COM box will turn light blue.
Click on the PDA tab and select the CWM-Recovery-gt-i9295_v1-2.tar.md5 file that you downloaded above.
Your Odin screen should look like exactly as shown below.

The think that caught my attention was CWM, I thought that could not be done since this is a "hacked" ROM?

First things first, do you have the AT&T version (i537) of the S4 Active or the International version (i9525)? If you have the International version there is a CWM thread in the development forums that you could have found by searching. If you have the AT&T version, then you cannot install CWM because the bootloader is locked. There is a workaround though, you can install SafeStrap and have the ability to flash a limited number of ROMs.
I have a locked T-Mobile variant of the Note 9, Yesterday I updated to Pie using the method of applying the update file from firmware.science and everything went ok.
I didn't like pie after a few hours so I did my research to odin back to Oreo, got a hold of the latest odin build, samsung drivers and such and also the last Oreo firmware for the T-mobile variant.
I did everything I'm supposed and Odin flashed the firmware just fine no hiccups.
then the phone got off the download mode to restart and now it's been on the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 secured by knox screen for almost 30 minutes, nothing happened so I tried to turn it off and It wouldn't until I pressed power + volume down but it only turner off for a second or two.
I have been trying to figure out if I did something wrong.. and maybe I did by forgetting to not doing a factory reset before doing the Odin back to Oreo.
I hope that isn't the case , since I'm not sure I am asking for help.
I was able to turn it off again by pressing power and volume down then quickly pressed volume down bixby and power and it entered download mode again.
I also tried to see if I could get it do the same for recovery but I can't.
and also I'm not even being able to turn it off ..
Any pointers, opinions would be really appreciated.

either you will need to be quick enough to switch from vol down and power ( once you feel the device vigrate from a forced reset) and then be very quick and vol up +bixby +pwr to get to recovery and choose shutdown phone to be able to go back to DL mode... OR wait till battery runs out, charge it for 10 mins and then do the DL mode procedure.
I just figured it out and somehow I was able to get it work!!
thanks a lot
now please a mod close the thread or delete it
why close the thread, share what you did. You might save someone else

well, didn't do much really, as I said on my OP I wasn't able to shut down the phone but I was able to press power/volume down to get it to restart while it turned off for that second I quickly pressed Power/volume down and bixby and then got back in download mode then I did Odin the firmware once again.
The instructions I was following were from Samfrew.com it said to hit the AP/PDA button to load a tar.md5 file from the firmware folder I extracted from their zip file then finally press Start.
Well I didn't follow such instructions this time I loaded every single tar.md5 file as every button on Odin.
Ex. AP to AP, BL to BL, CP to CP and so on but not the HOME_CSC since there isn't a button on Odin anyway.
flashed all that, it finished then Voila it rebooted just fine.
awesome, flashing the note 9 seems a bit more technical than the other flagships. I will give it a whirl. How do you like it so far.
i did something similar i updated my att to the csa7 pie update through an ota zip and it was working fine but notifications were not coming through so i tried to do another updated version of pie through an ota and it didnt work in my recovery menu theres something that says lacking storage boot i clicked that by accident and i pressed no so i backed out when i tried to boot my note 9 it started bootlooping and i now i cant get past setupconnection on odin i have downloaded almost every file and odin i can find to no avail any tips?

Did you fix it
If you have TWRP
Press Vol down, bixby and power
Or
Power, bixby, volume down.
Phone will turn off immediately press volume up, bixby and power then you'll go into TWRP.
Well at least it is worth it... especially when going to Oreo.. it is much better than PIE
Enjoy!
