She will need the stock recovery, stock rom installed and maybe some Preload files that were deleted when she unlocked the bootloader. Read this post it explains what the OTA is looking for.
Hi everyone,
is it possible to put stock rom from european version of S5 Active to AT&T S5 Active? Do I have to change kernell as well, or just simply flash stock rom from G870F? Thanks

you cant flash stock G870F to your device, the bootloader is locked (research goes along way towards answering your question) the only way you would get the 870F is via a custom rom based on that device, and you cant flash any kernels no matter what.
so in short NO you cant do whatyou want,
you need to root your device, install safestrap and flash a custom rom if you want anything outside of stock.

NO YOU DID NOT UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER, you only SIM unlocked the device for use on other carriers, you still cannot flash the stock G870F odin firmware to your device.
I'm not sure if that is 100% true. I think you can flash another but only if it is the same kernell. So if you are on 4.4.4 you can flash the same but you can't upgrade from there since the bootloader is locked. You can only upgrade an AT&T stock Rom.
Thanks for your reply. .....But i unlocked my bootloader with App called EZ-UNLOCK, is there any possibility that I still have locked bootloader....my android is 4.4.2.....Both G870A and G870F are similar in every Headwear. ....... do i need to flash kernel first......
Thanks

THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY, EZ-UNLOCK app for locking/unlocking the bootloader and it said I did it successfully,
(1). My device is rooted.
(2). 4.4.2 Stock.
(3). No AT&T firmware Support
(4). Bootloader is unlocked. (if EZ-UNLOCK did it)
So what I need to do to flash G870F stock Firmware and Kernell or official 5.1 lollipop to my S5 ACTIVE G870A At&t, plz tell me Which KERNELL do i need and where can i download it.

If you truly have a SM-G870A then I highly doubt the app worked or we would all be using it. You can flash with Odin to any G870 with 4.4.2 or upgrade to 4.4.4 and flash that equivalent. But I wouldn't mess with it if you don't know what you are doing. 5 will be out soon. AT&T is just taking it's time and we are being very impatient.
I did a quick search of that app youve used there and it says IN THE TITLE its for the verizon S3, not only that the thread for this app says its not only not been updated since 2012 but will hardbrick your device if you use it on the later firmwares. That app is most likely lying about the bootloader being unlocked. At the end of the day it is locked and we just have to deal with it and work around it.

I assume you mean flashfire, as mobile odin does not work on our device. If you didnt, look in to flashfire, it will do what you need.

Alright, but back to my Question, is it possible?
My Moto G 4G is still not showing the Lollipop update here in the UK even though some people seem to have it.
Does rooting have an effect as well?
Oops I'm in the wrong forum.
I would like to know that as well

If you are just rooted and haven't flashed a custom recovery then you should be able to get the update. If you are using a custom recovery then you will probably receive the OTA, but you won't be able to update until you are on a stock recovery.
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.

Another picture
are you flashing files for 4.4? If you were on 5.1 then you should try files for 5.1.
And forget about 4.4. for now. You need to flash 5.1 and only after your phone will boot, then look for guide to downgrade.
you many need to flash the stock recovery (from 5.1) first, as your bootloader appears to be LOCKED now. after then, try flashing the stock 5.1 files. if successful, then you can unlock again via sunshine, flash TWRP recovery, then try to upgrade to 6.0. I'm pretty certain you should not try to downgrade, as that tends to cause problems.
Thanks
Just I'm downloading 5.1
