Hi. In preparation for the soon to be released kitkat update I decided to return my phone to stock in order to have a seamless update on the day of release. I first uninstalled all my mods, then I did a phone reset, and as suggested my another member I did a "full unroot" using super user. The phone no longer has root access and appears to be stock, but when I reboot it the boot screen has a lock on it. How do I reset completely to stock and get rid of this lock problem.

Triangle away. It's in the playstore

You will have to re root for triangle away to work though.

I don't see the att variant listed under supported devices. Can you guys confirm that triangle away works with the newest NB4 update?

Yes it works

Where can i find kingo root 1.18? I tried the latest version and it fails detecting my device. I've heard that people have had success using the older version though. Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: Found v1.12 online and it worked fine with the NB4 update

Sorry, I don't read signatures. That's probably why, updates dont like rooted phones.

Reports are that anyone that has used to "revert to MJ5" thread, is running into a failure between 25 to 27%.
This is likely the problem.

Further reports are saying that you will have to take it to an AT&T store or Sammobile in BestBuy to have them flash MJ5. Then you take the NB4 OTA and will be able to grab the KK OTA.

I had the same problem. After I reset everything to stock and even unrooted I still had the problem.(I think everyone who rooted has this problem) I just went to att device warranty center and swapped out my phone if they ask you whether you rooted your phone just say "no". Updating to Kitkat as we speak on my replaced phone.

They should be able to just flash 4.3 onto it?
Then again, why not just flash a 4.4.2 rom? You'd retain root, and it's basically the exact same hahahaha

Same here, not rooted and it got to 25% or so

To the people saying "I'm not rooted", WERE you rooted? I read somewhere else that could be the issue. I unrooted so I could update and it failed the same way as everyone else here. Please specify everything when you say you're not rooted. I read that someone who left their device rooted got it to update just fine but they lost root, which is to be expected but it did actually work for the guy. I'm going to reroot and try again.

Subscribing. I'm having the same issues. Was rooted, and update failed. Unrooted and update failed.

FYI I was stock. Kingo root. Then safe strapped. Flashed azure in slot one. Hour later hit back to stock slot then deleted slot 1 azure proceeded to unroot and delete safestrap and wiped data reset so I figured I'd be ok. Update ota kitkat gets 28% fails. So..I'm watching. I decided f it and re rooted and am going to flash a Rom for sake of waiting to see what happens with this failure as I should very been completely stock.

Failed update at 27%
I would say the issue has to be on AT&T's end. I had issues with my internet so I soft bricked mine during the rooting process b/c the file was corrupted. Used odin to revert back to stock MJ5 and then updated to NB4. I have tried to wipe the data for the download manager within the app manager, wiped cache in recovery, did a factory reset after getting updated to NB4 and tried different working internet sources just to make sure.

It's a device issue. Certain files that should be there are gone and files that shouldn't be there are there.
It's not on AT&T's end. It's local to the device software itself

Asking Best buy or AT$T to image older rom

I see some mention of this as a solution, although it look some it's only for those that downgraded to NB5.
.I am trying to understand what would happen if AT&T or BB try to image an older ROM on to the 4.4 leak that some of us are RUNNING, including me.
Assuming AT&T / BB agree to try, has anyone had success this way?

I took my Note 3 in to BB yesterday. I'm running the Leaked MLG 4.4.2.
The Samsung dudes were unable to get NB4 to load over the leak.
My BB didn't even have the NC2 (official KK release) in their system yet.
Going to try a different BB tomorrow.

i had the same issue.i restored to mj5 by following the post here at xda then had bb reflash to nb4. no probs updating to kk via ota.

ATT rep told me that if they attempt to restore a 4.3 image over KK it will brick the phone so they won't do it.
Because my phone wouldn't boot when I brought it in they couldn't confirm the OS version. I had to sign a waiver acknowledging my phone might become a brick and releasing them of liability before they would agree to restore my phone.

there is a working method to get the official OTA to update on your phone, Miata just posted a thread about how to do this after restoring to MJ5 and taking the NB4 updated.
he has a file that you flash and after that the OTA update should not fail anymore. Yall should try it out instead of waiting on BB or Att to do something that you can do.

At&t Lg Flex D950 Upgraded to Kitkat with Root retained.

I have at&t LG Flex, rooted and than updated to kitkat, surprised was when it updated to Kikat and root was retained, I used all applications that require supersu and work like charm.
Follow this, If you did not upgraded root it with ioroot and don't unroot it, take OTA update and you will keep the root.
If you upgraded, downgrade it via lgflashtool method, root with ioroot and update ota and you will keep the root..Good Luck

What did you do before hand? Cuz you're literally the only person so far i think. I tried everything and even went back to jelly bean 3 times trying to retain root with different programs. It would always error out on the update screen

Basically what I did was I rooted on JB and when KK update came, I removed root from superSu "unroot", I tried to upgrade to Kikkat and failed, so I did lgflashtool (you directed me by the way) and flashed it to JB, rooted again and kept the root and superSu..tried update from menu and went through and kept the root.

I was unable to try it out last night, ever since upgrading to kit Kat i can no longer choose which mode to connect (usb only, mtp, etc) so after flashing back the problem followed me which prevented me from running ioroot successfully. Luckily i had ordered a new flex yesterday from AT&T after their service center confirmed something was borked during the update, it'll be here Monday. Can't do anything till then.

So far it's only available for AT&T so that's nothing to "upload". Without recovery for these phones there's no way to create roms from kit Kat source

Galaxy S5- Can I Flash A ROM With TWRP Instead Of Flashfire?

Hello, i'm new in this forum and i haven't flashed so many roms before.
in this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...w-to-update-to-g870aoc5-5-0-keeproot-t3083841
they use flashfire to install lollipop rooted rom into G870A devices.
but i have a problem, i followed the steps to receive flashfire beta on my device but i never got it, i asked in g+ page to someone to share me the apk containing flashfire beta (the version that is required to do this), but he said me i have to change the date of my phone to july 1st because the app does not open at all, and it is true, by changing the date i was able to open the app, but i;m not sure about using it because i thing it is not the right version and i thing i can damage my device.
Can i use twrp instead? or is it safe to use the apk he shared to me?
Thanks

Much to the dismay of almost everyone here Twrp will not work on our locked bootloader phone.

You havd at&t s5 active ,at&t locked the bootloader thats why we can't use custom recovery like twrp cwm . if u r in 4.4.2 kitkat i think u can use safestrap recovery..that process will install 5.0 rooted lollipop .i use the same process to update my att s5 to lollipop ..download the file flash through flasfire..

thanks! i'll ty that i hope it works.
but before trying this i, does anyone successfully installed the last flashfire beta? please would you share the apk, i would prefer using that since the tutorial looks very easy, im new using those kind of tools

I just used the latest beta to flash from rooted 4.4.4 to 5.0.1 Of3 without issue.
