So my phone keeps screaming at me to install a update, stock Rom only rooted, downloaded it to find out I cant install it with out the stock recovery and it would probably unroot my phone....
So I'm kinda confused as to what I need to download to update.
This all steams from how my old lady is picking up 4G at our house on her s4 and I'm stuck on 3g and I think it's because I haven't updated in a long time.

if you're s-off you can use the modified firmware in OMJ's thread to update your firmware.
Sooo, just flashing a new firmware is enough? Dont mire things get updated in a ota, could I get a link?

how is that going to help me my phones already rooted. I don't need help rooting it I figured that part out myself but I'm trying to figure out how you update a rooted phone, ota's are like 300 megabytes a firmware 19 I'm trying to understand what makes up the difference and if all I need to do is update the firmware so your link on how to root a m7 no help but thanks I guess...

I'm with you... I tried doing my own research, found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2795856) and asked if flashing the "Modified Firmware w/ Radio" file would be the correct one to give me all of the needed OTA updates. I was told yes (though as you mention, the size difference doesn't make sense), so I flashed it in Fastboot.
...and I still have the system update notification on my phone which I can't get rid of. If you figure it out, please post here. Thanks.
I hope to have the process all figured out once 5.0 is released so that I can upgrade without wiping, as folks who are not rooted and take the OTA will be able to do.

Have a look at this regarding Android L/5.0
I've been trying to downgrade to KitKat from Lollipop for the last 4 hours and haven't been able to find the right files to accomplish this. Could someone point me to all the odin files I need to downgrade??
Thanks, Mike
This is the only file you'll need. http://bit.ly/1q98wGU. Place it in the PDA/AP slot. I'd recommend doing a factory restore afterward. This is provided that you have the AT&T variant of the note 3.
Thanks for the file! I just tried to use odin 3.09 to flash it and it completed successfully and after a reboot with the android robot and a progress bar and another reboot it showed the AT&T ball and just stays on a white screen with the AT&T ball and doesn't do anything else..... I then tried an odin with NAND erase ALL and same thing.
Any Ideas?
Thanks, Mike
Try going into the stock recovery, do a factory restore, then reboot. It'll take several minutes to complete the boot (it'll stay on the white AT&T ball boot screen). Just let it sit. Afterwards it should bring you to the factory set up process.
Thanks that solved my problem, just needed to wipe the userdata and it worked perfect, thanks!!! Now if I can only prevent AT&T from updating the phone again!

Root it with Towelroot, install Titanium Backup and freeze AT&T Software Update.
Could you point me to a safe download location for towelroot? Also what info I found about using towelroot on Note 3 won't work on 4.4.2 ??
Thanks again for all your help really awesome!

Just go to http://towelroot.com and click on the lambda symbol. It does work on note 3 4.4.2, that's exactly what I am running.

Don't unzip the file. If it doesn't end with the .md5 extension when u download it, just change it to md5 and load it into the AP slot.
Thanks again! Took a little bit to get it working (turning off security etc and purchasing the titanium backup pro so I could freeze) but it's working great!!! Thanks again for everything!

Hello! Long story short I was on 5.0 rooted and like a COMPLETE idiot I tried installing TWRP. Basically it broke my phone, so I went to 4.4.2 and tried going up from there. For whatever reason it won't let me do the OTA, so I was looking for the 4.4.4 Stock firmware for my G900A but no matter where I search, here or on Google, I can't seem to find it :/ Could anyone lend a hand? Thanks!

Use the downgrade firmware in this thread ( step 5 in the notes section of the OP ) after using that firmware you will be able to OTA. Just be careful not to ota to 5.0 or you won't be able to root. Flash the firmware in AP slot in odin 3.09

Thank you! Now something else I was wondering... Isn't 5.0 like 400 something MB? The OTA that I was trying to get *but failed at getting before you sent me the link to the one in that post* was only around 160MB. Is that the 4.4.4 update?

I'm not sure. Personally I'd get back to 4.4.2, root then go back to 5.0 using the thread i posted to you then flash
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3095987
Support is low for the 4.4.x since everyone has moved onto 5.0. Plus no one is working on them roms anymore. The TMS5 is a good rom and the dev is still actively working on improving and adding more to it. Plus in the OP of his thread he has instructions for using safestrap on 5.0.
Sorry i can't help out on the 4.4.4 i was never on it. I never take OTA's.

Now I'm having trouble with root... I flashed that version of 4.4.2 but when I do Towelroot v3 it says "This phone isn't currently supported"
EDIT: Never mind! Figured it out! I think I may have it now lol.

so extracted the zip and put ap in Odin and it worked. but I have no cell signal no lte or anything. it shows att but nadda. did I do some wrong? should I have put all 4 files in the spots in odin?
also I found there is now an oem unlock. does that mean I can unlock this bootloader or get perm root? or twrp?
thanks
You need to flash all of them in the appropriate slots, but you probably can get away with just the modem. That should get your signal back.
Enable OEM unlock before rooting with Kingroot again.
You can't install twrp or supersu as you still have a locked bootloader.

Thanks my friend, you really do help, not only me but a lot of ppl!
I just did all 4 anyways....
Tried king root 4.8.0 and it put a different kind of warring on screen (blue screen over entire tab that read unauthorized software install, go to an at&t store now, or something) that also tripped Knox to = 1 (yes I had oem unlocked).
So at this point I will try anything.......Goin to try king root 4.8.2!
Thanks

I sent my tablet to Samsung Repair a few weeks ago (they replaced the battery and LCD due to overheating /freezing up), and just got it back today in the mail. It had Android Marshmallow 6.0 on it when I sent it to them, when I got it back today it has Lollipop 5.1. I tried to update through system update, and when it restarted to flash the update, it failed.
So I tried to reset it back to stock in the Backup/Reset option in settings and when it restarted to reset to Factory, I got this message :
"dm-verity verification failed...
need to check drk"
So I flashed this stock ROM you provided here, hoping a clean slate would fix the problem, and it flashed perfectly in ODIN. Then I tried to update to Marshmallow again, and after it downloaded and restarted to update it said "FAILED"
I have no idea how to update now.
How in the world does Samsung repair then send back a tablet that can't update!
Can you please help in any way?
I really don't want to send my tablet back for a third time and wait 2-3 more weeks, especially after the Samsung Note 7 recall, probably take months to get back. My wife is still waiting for her Note 5 screen to be replaced and they have had her phone almost a month now.

There isn't one. You need to flash NE3 and then update to 5.0.1.

Any of them are fine, your best bet would be to install the most recent one since that one presumably has the most bug fixes.

Don't really know what to do from here?? please help! Thanks so much!!!!
Use the same link I sent you previously. Rooted or not, you're going to have to do the same thing.
