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.

[Q] What about 4,4 KitKat?!

Is Active got already the kitkat update?
if he got I'll be happy if you tell me how to do it?

The official OTA update for KK was v released 4/16/14 but was very buggy (screen unusable, etc). Since 4/18/14, AT&T pulled the update, and have since said they are working with Samsung in fixing the update and will be releasing the update again soon. As with everything, don't ask for an ETA as no one can even guess when that will be... Hopefully soon though.

need some help

My buddy got a note 3 with jb firmware. We decided to software update it. We were successful with one update. This one....see pic. Well now we are trying to upgrade it to the kk update. But we are stuck with message see the other pic attached. It's been stuck on this for a good hour. Any suggestions?

Second pic.......

If you plan to root the phone, you want to update to a leaked version of kitkat
DK 4.1, GPE Orange, Xposed, xgel, and other great extras

Ok. Well we updated to that version u see right there. How do I go about updating to a leaked version?

I would love to know this as well. Can't find anything for Samsung-SM-G900A Baseband BOC4
EDIT: After reading through a lot of threads I found that there is currently NO DOWNGRADE OR ROOTING METHOD for those on stock OTA 5.0 Lollipop. This for AT&T SM-G900A Baseband OC4.

The s5 on lollipop is completely unrootable

Has to be on 4.4.2
Check with your carrier, they may provide the previous version. I.E. Downgrade. If on original carrier that is.

Now if I did a warranty exchange will it be pre loaded wit oc4 or of4 because I'm hoping not. What are my chances.

Extra slim to none, it'll most likely have most current firmware.

G870A ota update

I'm looking for latest ota.zip update for my G870A, I'm an oversea user so I can't simply download it from att network.
In detail I need G870AUCU2COJ3 to PB1, from PB1 to PB2 and finally from PB2 to PB3.
I used to get it from muniz_ri page, but unfortunately now I can't find the most recent updates.
In the end should be nice to have a discussion regularly update with new ota.zip update.
Sorry for my bad english, and thank you very much for any help!![emoji120]

Sorry but I think you're out of luck unless someone has them. I got all my files from Android file host, but it looks like OJ3 is the latest one on there.
