Can someone make this work on a rooted Flex? Mine keeps failing when i allow it to update. Logs complain about my prop file. Could it be because I'm running exposed? It runs thru the update , reboots showing ANDY updating, but progress bar goes half way then boots up the phone with v7. Was really trying to avoid reflashing. Thanks

I just got a notification from my phone that there was an update available (the supposed GPS fix).
So I let it download and install the update. It rebooted to a white screen with a progress bar. Once it hit 100% it said "Update is failed". Then when it booted up it's back at the device management screen an it says "The update was not completed. No update is applied to your phone."
Under settings it says baseband version is now JH7, but I dont think it is because USB tethering is still in there, I read where that was taken out some time ago. How can I tell if the update really installed?
If it didnt install, why didnt it? Was it because I was rooted? Do we have to be at completely stock JF6 to get the update?
I had my phone mostly stock, all I had done was:
rooted, modded settings.db for non-market apps, installed circle battery meter, installed mobile wifi AP.
Any clues?
Having the same issue. I'm not really sure what to make of it.

I tried and tried to get the update to work, it kept crapping out on me. so finally I gave up and just went and got designgears version OTA-JH7.zip and loaded it through clockwork recovery. It seems to be the full update and its stable, unlike after the failed 100% OTA update.
I love the Engrish used, lol. They couldn't even put "Update failed" or "Update is failing"

Is it safe to keep up date if I'm rooted?

Do you lose root buy applying that update and is there a simple way of disabling the stock "System Updater"? (regarding designgears version OTA-JH7.zip) question is for derek4484 thx
I have found and tested a root method for the new 4.4.2 update that came out yesterday to the public.
Download Odin https://mega.co.nz/#!fJRkzTQL!uUN3LLhSCXIHtEFUlUDyPdf48rgEXj1wh5mgV5q8TkU
Download this file https://mega.co.nz/#!DdhkzBIZ!2wjBE5cGRnu1hIRuID3o05yjJb_Xe3C6gfEq1LwQn1g
Flash in ODIN and allow to reboot
THIS WILL TRIP YOUR KNOX COUNTER!
**This method is NOT mine. I found this through google searching, and give all credit to that developer, who I now have come to know is @Chainfire.**
Edit: added developers name after searching, so I could give proper credit.
I just used cf auto root that I used to root my phone when i got it with mf9 and it still works for me on 4.4.2 lol.

@churchey360 I think that's what it is. I got all the stuff off of android police. It was meant for the i9505 when the software leaked. I thought I would upload it for everyone who was scared to update because there was no root

Yeah I was scared to try it lol but I saw that one person had success so I did it anyway and it worked first try with no problems at all.

help
This did not work for me it says su binary is missing any ideas?
It's a no-go.... But don't worry.
Downloaded and tried to use auto root file you have linked. Didn't work. In ODIN, gives MD5 sum doesn't match error.
I did try using an old CF-Autoroot that I had, that didn't work either.
I then downloaded it from the CF-Auto-Root Repository site, and viola. Worked like a charm.
I was on MK2, rooted. I had to flash back to MK2 stock, using the file supplied within a tread, (it ain't hard to find), cleared Google Framework and plugged in to charge, checked for Samsung Update. Update to 4.4.2 installed. Had a brief problem when after rebooting and upgrading apps, my screen remained black. I knew it was doing something though because I have pushbullet installed, and was getting the notifications on my PC screen. But a reboot fixed the black screen. I then tried the first two root attempts mentioned above. Then the one from the Repository. Now I'm good to go.
I tried CF autoroot several times and it did not work for me. I Flashed philz recovery and there is an option to reroot your phone and then just download supersu from the playstore. Now works like a charm....

lol knox already tripped..... I'll have to give this a try!
If a mod sees this, please close the thread. I suspect that @Chainfire will update his thread soon. And as this is his project I do not want to take his credit. I believe in giving credit where it is due. Great job Devs. Keep up the great work!

This worked for me too. Downloaded CF Autoroot from Repository and it worked.
Thread closed at OP request.
I recently installed safestrap and flashed the Firekat ROM. Whenever I reboot my phone I always get the "Android is Upgrading" pop-up. Just wondering is this is something to be concerned with or if it's normal. I seem to have no other issues.

It's nothing to be alarmed by, but it's not supposed to happen after every boot.
So I'm in a bad place right now it seems. I just rooted my S6 with PingPong root and everything went great. Proceeded to install AdAway and get that started. Then I moved to some build.prop tweaks. I added in the RAM tweaks from the thread in General and I also edited product.name to "att" to remove the S Finder and Quick Connect lines under the brightness sliders. When I rebooted my phone, I got the problems described in the title.
The lock screen just shows a black wallpaper and the rest of the normal options on the lock screen. I'm able to unlock my phone, but then all I see is my actual wallpaper over everything. I can bring the notification shade down and use the toggles, but if I try to open an app all I see is the wallpaper. I know the app is running because when I tried the phone dialer, I was able to place a call. So everything is running, but I can't see any of them because my wallpaper is stuck in place over everything.
Obviously my first idea was to fire up adb and push my backup of the build.prop file to /system, but I can't use adb as it says my device is unauthorized...I've enabled USB debugging in the developer options, but I never got the authorization request and it doesn't seem to pop up on my phone. I'm going to try and blindly see if it does pop up. If someone could post a picture of what the pop up looks like, it would be extremely helpful.
Does anyone know how I can unscrew myself here? I don't even know why this happened. My guess is it's the product.name change because no one's reported a problem like this with the RAM tweaks. Also, I've tried booting into Safe Mode and the problem still persists.
Thank you for the help.
Edit: Managed to get authorized and was able to get in through Adb shell. Moved my backup to /system, exited the shell and pulled the file from /system to check it and make sure it was right and now my phone is in a bootloop. What the hell happened? The build.prop is identical to the one I backed up. Why am I getting a bootleg now and what should I do now? I'm guessing I'm pretty screwed.
Edit 2: Flashed stock firmware with ODIN. Back to normal now.
If problem still persist you may have to ODIN. FYI in 5.1.1 you are able to remove sfinder and quick connect

Yeah I'm downloading the stock firmware now and planning on flashing through ODIN. I'm reluctant to update to 5.1.1 due to the comments about worse battery drain and no real fix to the multitasking. Figured I would root and try the changes people have been reporting successfully.
I've never owned an Android Samsung phone before or flashed via ODIN, but I'm guessing it will wipe my phone completely?
Ok sounds good ..

just curious are you on ozopv2?
I'm on 5.0.2 and rooted (via PingPong). I rooted after the update notification (for 5.1.1) showed up, and now I can't get the notification to go away. Does anybody know of a way to get rid of the notification or will I have to just live with it?
Sent from my SM-G920T using XDA Premium HD app
I am rooted via pingpong and I never received a notification when the update became available...
I fear that my problem may be that because the notification already showed up before root I'm stuck with it. Whereas if you rooted before, then that process doesn't carry through.

did you ever get this resolved, was about to root mine and stumbled on your thread. I have the notification also, but havent rooted yet
Use titanium backup to freeze softwareupdate.

Can confirm. Freezing software update does remove the icon.
That's what I was thinking too; Titanium Backup to freeze it. Will have to hunt around and find the process to freeze again (been a while), but that should do it.
Thanks
any non-root way of doing it....I am a T-mobile build that still isn't supported by pingpong root
