Hello everybody I had a question about the coming official 4.4 update
I have a locked bootloader atrix HD with cwm based recovery and its rooted. If when the Ota update releases will I be able to just accept it or will it brick my device if I accept it. Thanks for the help
It will not get bricked but you might loose the possibility to unlock the boot loader in the future as right now the person who made exploit is not available for future developing or hacking

Like SVLAN said, you will not be bricked, but your bootloader will most likely become locked. To avoid locking the bootlader, wait for someone to update, pull everything, then flash it in fastboot.

Which version are you running? AT&T, Mex Retail, or Bell? And if you take the update, it will overwrite the recovery with stock. If you fastboot the update, you don't have to overwrite it.

I am surprised there will be an update. The last official release in Canada was 4.1.2.

You will almost definitely get the update, but if you want to keep the unlocked bootloader, don't take it. There's really no chance of us getting our bootloader getting unlocked again, so if you plan on ever flashing a custom ROM anytime in the future, don't take the update.
I've searched these forums high and low, I've tried all the methods listed, Odin, ADB, and Kies. All I'm looking to do is to get the latest ATT software update for my S5.
Here's the catch, it's an ATT S5, unlocked, and I am on Bell in Canada. I try to do the OTA update and the phone won't as I believe it wants to be on the ATT network for this to work.
I have a G900A, and its on G900AUCU2AND3
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Carl
Are you trying to use the att updates or Rodgers ?

Theres a thread in s5 att general with the 5.0 ota file and instructions on how to load it in stock receovery, i'll link it if you cant find it.

If your on the Rodgers network it's trying to download the Rodgers firmware. Are you trying to keep root or just want the regular 5.0 Ota update
---------- Post added at 12:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 AM ----------
You can use Odin flash the Ota stock or rooted
I'd just like the ATT OTA 5.0 update if possible. I am not even rooted, just SIM unlocked.
I will try the method in Rakuu's post too. Thanks guys.

Hi,
Got consumer cellular XT1064 and upgraded to lollipop last year. But I am not able to get OTA since then.
Baseband: MSM8626BP_1032.3105.93.00R CCAWS_CUST
Android Version:5.0.1

[email protected] #1
System Version: 22.21.25.titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US cc
Build #: LXB22.46-25
How do I upgrade to the latest lollipop version? Do I have to restore it to stock? I recall doing that and unlocking the bootloader to get to 5.0.1.Please advise.

not sure if this is CC but the firmware is for xt1064 retuaws

You won't get an ota if you're on Consumer Cellular service. They haven't pushed out anything later.

Tel864: sim unlocked using on tmobile.
There is no 5.1.1 firmware rolled out by motorola until now. So 5.0.2 is the highest lollipop version you can get. I´m from europe so I don´t know anything about the comsumer stuff.

Ah ok...Tmobile. Like Wolfcity said though, there's no 5.1 out for this phone and if rumors are true, there never will be a 5.1 for the 2nd gen. If you want 5.1 you'll have to go with a custom rom. It's rumored that the 2nd gen may get "M" and skip 5.1 completely.

I have a Nexus 6 bought directly from Motorola but with a T-mobil sim from my
last phone. I'm running the MRA68K factory image of 6.0., and have never been
offered an OTA update.
Let me tell you what I THINK I know.
Although MRA68K does include the T-mobile band 12 and wifi calling feature,
for some reason T-mobil was not happy with it due to some bug revealed
in testing. MRA68X is the release they are happy with, and is what T-mobil
users running 5.1.1 are getting OTA. This OTA is not usable for phones running
any of the 6.0 release. There currently is no factory image for MRA68X.
Here is what I don't know:
- Will MRA68X be eventually released as a factory image.? Usually that comes
before not after the OTA. If not it would seem the need to flash a 5.1.1 image
to be able to take the MRA68X OTA.
- Is the T-mobil specific release a one time thing, or will there be a sequence of
T-mobil specific releases as in 5.X?
- I presume that when the phone checks for an update it bases it on the carrier's
SIM. Just curious, is it Google downloading the update but subject to the carrier's
instructions?

For X I flashed the factory ProFi 5.1.1 then sideloaded the 48I to 58X OTA.

I don't see where it says *only* L releases get the update but it may just be a matter of semantics.
"To be able to update to the current software version, the below requirements must be met:"
^^^ I take this to mean that you must have at least L to get the update. If you are on M already then you still meet that requirement. That's just my thoughts though. Dez is always in the know and that's what he said. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I noticed that your signature says "Nexus 6 rooted". If that is in fact the case, you will not be able to install any OTA. Neither via sideloading nor "over the air". The installer looks at the system file, and if there is ANY change from stock (including being rooted), it will abort the install. I've had it fail, even with a couple of apps frozen.
It looks like the document
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-18109
has been updated. It now list MRA68K as eligible for the OTA to MRA68X. Earlier
it just listed the L* releases.

yeah tried on a clean flash without root, still not luck
i installed mra58k clean rom from the andriod dev page until someone makes an X rom
Wow
And for those with MRA58N currently, there was a hint that TMO would OTA push MRA58X as well.

I looked for the s9+ also but like ya said its not there yet my guess its not on the s9 server yet or could be a different build number but I wouldn't figure

If u want to get pie, u have to get the ARI6 Odin files which are about 4GB. This is an Oreo file with September Patch. The subsequent update files on SamsungFirmwareScience is all you would need going forward after that to upgrade to Pie and other Patches if u choose to stay on Oreo. You just need to take a leap of faith and downgrade to ARI6 using the Patched Odin by Thomas or so 3.13.3

All Samsung firmware are not carrier specific. Now how your phone works with the firmware is totally unknown to me. Sprint is weird since it's a cdma network. If u were on a GSM network i would have said it's as easy as pie. But to answer your question yes, it's simple as pie to just download Odin and ari6, put your phone in download mode, load the files to Odin (if u want to retain your sprint software use HOME_CSC rather than CSC) then run the update files from there using adb sideload from the recovery menu
