Note 3 Update Files

Hello,
After sadly never being able to get the NB4 update for my note 3, I was wondering if anyone could send me there update files? (if its possible to update via recovery like that?) If anyone else has any other ideas on how to get my note 3 updated it would be nice (im on MJ5, not rooted).

downloading it now. I tried to check ota on NB4 but I keep getting software update interrupted. Hopefully I won't have to keep on relying on others to post the update files in the future. Thanks for the help, wish you would have responded to my first thread on this issue a month ago, but it looks like those update files were recently uploaded.

A little off topic, but I used kingo in the past for rooting, does it still steal our devices imei number? As I find conflicting answers in every thread I go to.

with kitkat that is because of the kingo root even if you unrooted do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51203967&postcount=1 or if you are near an att service center you can take it to them and they will flash kitkat for you also bestbuy can too

Best Buy (Samsung) doesn't have the KitKat files yet. I went to my local BB store and they told me that didn't have the official file yet. Also, AT&T will not flash your phone either. I tried that one, too.

Has to be a att service center and both can re flash NB4 for you if you flashed the kk leak you need to do the mj5 restore first then go see them

My best buy Samsung store must be behind times. The guy there couldn't do it. It appears they use kies. And our phone can't be initialized with kies anymore.

Make sure you read and understand what you read before attempting to root your phone. If you mess something up you may potentially brick your phone.

[Q] Sprint LG G Flex 4.4.2 wont root please help

So I have looked around everywhere for an answer to this question. I have a Sprint lg g flex using 4.4.2 with a build number ending in zv9(when I look it up on google it doesn't even show any results) and it will not root with any of the methods that i know.
Towelroot says device isnt supported. i tried even using the temporary modstrings number and that just freezes the app. I have also tried ioroot and it also says the device is not supported I dont know what to do. i wish i could downgrade back to my previous build number which is zv7 so that i can go back to using a rooted phone but I don't know how to do this either. Please help thank you. This is driving me crazy

Check IORoot or Stump root threads.
Do ask before in threads..

So I have asked in other threads and waited for a reply but no one has answered my question, I just want a rooted phone again

ZV9 from Sprint? The last 4.4.2 from Sprint is ZV7. I never got those updates u mentioned.
If u want to root it again, go back to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2644083
Accept 2 updates N u will be in 4.4.2 (ZV7). From that, u can root ur phone with towelroot or Ioroot, but it's easier with towelroot.
Good luck

How does the Brute force method begin after I install the app?
As soon as I install Stump Root it tells me I'm rooted...and it is not.
I know I shouldn't have upgraded to ZV9!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Best way to root VS98026a

My G2 was made in 2014 I guess and it comes with VS98026a. Some people say stumproot works but I'm not taking any risks. What would be the best and safest way to go about rooting this phone?
Thanks in advance

You're not really risking anything. Either stump root works for you, or it does not. You will have to use brute force mode.
If it doesn't work for you, then you will have to .kdz or .tot your way back to 24A, and root 24A with ioroot. After that, just go to system settings, and do a system upgrade all the way up to 27A.

So if the root method fails my phone won't mess up or anything?
I'll keep the downgrade as a last resort because it looks really confusing.

We were talking about towel root on 26A, not 10B.

Yes I am aware of that just providing my results for op's consideration.

Stump root did the trick for me, and autorec for the recovery. G2 has so many easy ways to do stuff
Thanks guys for the confirmations

If you ever .kdz to 27A, stump root will work, but don't use AutoRec. You'll get a video call error every time at boot up, and you'll get random reboots, and weird phone behavior.
There are other things you can do to get around that.

Its odd we have the LP kdz from LG but no ota. Tried the LG Software tool which says only available through OTA.
Using the kdz method wipes you'll phone clean which I can't do.

I just downloaded the official tmobile today, however I will have to revert back to stock etc to get it to flash unless someone knows another way...right now I am on stock kitkat rom with root and unlocked bootloader no special rom or anything like that, but when it trys to install it goes to twrp then I get error about Books.odex contains unexpected files. So I guess do I have to revert all the way back to stock first?

Update Online
Looks like you can update via PC if you have not gotten the OTA notice...
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-21132

Is there a way to keep root while upgrading ??....isn't there an app that does that ???

Update via PC
I tried to update my D41510E and got the message that "Only WIreless Upgrades Are Supported On This Phone". T-Mobiles own page says the PC upgrade should work. Bummer!
UPDATE: Its working. I clicked on the 'recovery' button and it started the update to Lollipop. At 92% now... we'll see how it goes.
