Can't update to 4.4.4 after unroot (SM-N900A)

so I bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 off of ebay and in the description it did not mention anywhere that the phone was rooted and I did not want its rooted. so when I received the phone I took it to a store In town and had it reflashed to stock firmware 4.4.2 and I am NOT able to update to Android 4.4.4...
I had a Samsung galaxy s4 AT&T unlocked to straight talk and I couldn't get the update because I wasn't using AT&T.. so I put an AT&T SIM card in and it updated to 4.4.4.. but my note 3 will not.. Please help. Thanks in advance!

You might also try connecting your Note 3 to a PC and open Samsung KIES 3. Use the tools to load and initialize the latest official software version. Beware, this procedure WILL reset your device to factory defaults, completely wiping all personalization and added data. You will have a fully stock, non-rooted device with all AT&T software.

@norbarb gave u the solution. Download and flash this firmware via ODIN: HERE. You will lose the ROOT and you will can update your device with future OTA updates .

As I said in my original post, I received the note 3.. rooted.. I took it to a store in town and had it reflashed to original stock firmware so its not rooted and I should be able to update OTA but it won't let me. I am unlocked to straight talk using an AT&T note 3. I've put an AT&T SIM card in my phone and I still can't update... with my samsung galaxy s4 it was AT&T unlocked to straight talk and I put an AT&T SIM card in it, and it updated 4.4.4

I uploaded correct ODIN for you and you put files as OP said in his post i link it for you guys. If you use 4 files will erase all for you but if you use just one will not.

Got the odin3 and the single tar file. Been a while since I have done this. Which area does the tar file go in ?

THANK YOU !
I have been trying to get my Note 3 to update over the air for a longtime and have never succeeded.. It always said no update available.
But now I finally have 4.4.4 THANKS!

I'm glad it work out for you.

Will you be doing the same when Lollipop comes out.
As it seems that some just can't get theirs to update OTA ?

You can't get the ota update because you are not on an att Sim card.
Odin and kies are your options and yes typically we get the odin files shortly after the new updates arrive.

I am on a AT&T sim card. And have been from day one. But I have always had problems trying to get OTA updates

I'm sorry just reread initial post. No excuses from me, I did not comprehend it right. Your s4 was straight talk not this phone..... Curious why did you leave straight talk? I'm getting ready to go to them.

G920AUCU1AOE2 Odin Files Latest Update

Here's the full odin package for ATT S6 latest OTA update...that fixes battery drain by wrecking your signal! Enjoy
Link

IMO didn't fix or change battery drain either

Big difference...drain was ridiculous...Now after using greenify as well battery is 10xs better...thanks for the share

it's posible to have something like this for ATT S6 edge model? I've just post in the edge forum without lucky. thanks a lot

OE2 has definitely fixed the battery drain for me and signal has not taken a hit...

Do we ODIN all 4 files? Or just the AP file? Currently on OCE...

I had to do all 4 files with Odin 3.10.5

Does it really wreck the signals? Are you still able to keep root (PingPong root) after this update?
edit: PingPong root works with this version.
I don't know about the signals, but the battery life seems it does last a bit longer. But I feel opening the task switcher is kind of slower now.

Does this have to be pushed onto a stock ROM, or can we lay this on top of, say, a rooted AOCE build? In other words, do I have to flash all the way back to stock (and lose all my apps/settings) and then flash this, or can I just flash it over what's here (rooted AOCE) since it's effectively the OTA update in non-OTA form??

Hmm.. What am I doing wrong? 8:31 and 11% left with 2:35 screen on time.
I rooted and froze the crap out of AT&T bloatware. Not using Greenify at the moment because I don't think I need to. I do use Android wear, LG G Watch.
I disabled detecting OK Google voice command, and also disabled enhanced LTE related check boxes.
I'm currently on Tmobile, but will switch to AT&T soon.

I'm curious about this too - anyone know? Is this flashable over a rooted AOCE?

I have flashed this over a rooted AOCE and over a rooted AOE2 and all worked fine.

Can you use flashfire for this or is it strictly ODIN? On a mac so I'm having a hard time. Also, if you do use ODIN do you flash each through PDA?

Thanks to all the Developers!

Anyone have this available on a different site, mega doesn't work for me. I want to install OE2 then root, rather then use OCE rooted, and any OTA update seems to jump from OCE all the way to OF4 if I am correct.

So I haven't had to use Odin since my s3. I have an att s6 using it on Straight Talk and cannot pull ota updates....would I be able to just flash the latest ota through Odin or is root a requirement? Like I said I haven't used the program in years since this is my first Samsung device since the s3.

Don't Upgrade to OF1 If You'd Like To Root/Downgrade

It has been confirmed that updating to OF1 includes the downgrade protection we've seen in the T-Mobile builds on 5.1.1... You won't be able to root directly on this build, either, since the exploit was patched by this ROMs build date. I will make a package that will allow users on OE2 to to update to OF1 while maintaining root. If you are on OC3 still you can upgrade to OE2 using my tutorial in Android Development.
Can someone who updated to OF1 successfully please try downgrading back to OC3 using the ODIN image provided within this General Thread? Since no one else has released a OF1 ROM/ODIN package I was going to do it myself, but along the way I noticed a change within this update package-- it now includes a magic string header at the very end of the update process, just like the Lollipop 5.1.1 ROMS for other devices that now incorporate protections against downgrading. I'd rather not bone myself/everyone else out of future development if this mechanism is in fact in place.
Thanks in advance! As soon as I have a confirmation it is still downgradable, I will finish this package.

Odin will not downgrade after OF1. I've tried 5 times using 2 different PCs and Odin failed every time.

Why do you say this? Is there a reason why you believe if I have root now I won't be able to flash a developer's modified 5.1.1 once it arrives?

Had a few "?'s" on that statement. Purely assumption on my part, so take my previous statement and my next few statements with a grain of salt. Ping Pong root has been patched and unless they find another method there is no root on 5.1.1. Locked Bootloader, with no way around that, so no custom kernel to root (a la this method). Right now in order to upgrade to OE2, you have to use a patched version that keeps root, what happens when it can no longer be "patched" to keep root in further builds? If you've upgraded already to the latest build via OTA, you can no longer downgrade. Trust me, I want to continue to have root for what ever the latest build is out there but Verizon/Samsung have been locking things down tighter and tighter and there is always the possibility that an exploit isn't found and end up with no root on later builds than what we have now. Again, all of this is just my assumption and I hope to end up wrong in the end about everything, 5.1.1 isn't even out yet for us so we'll see when it drops.

I know this is probably not the right place to post this but i would be willing to donate a 100 dollars to someone that gives me root on verizon s6 OF1. I messed up and upgraded. So I sure hope someone can get root. I have tried everything.
Thanks

I'm 99% sure it will work because they are literally the same phone. It's just different carrier settings.. In any case if the file is not compatible with your phone then it simply wont flash. No worry of a brick.

I'm having trouble downloading. I was at 0.5 GB/1.6 GB and the download stopped; now I can't even access the download page.
EDIT: never mind

Should I be adding all 4 files to ODIN? My biggest problem is that my phone is still on OE2 and I'm having problems updating.

Somebody pls make a flashable version of this so we can still keep root.

So this will burn a e-fuse? Is it supposed to? Does that hurt warranty as well?

Dude thanks for posting these! When the 5.1.1 update was first rolled out I noobed it up and tried to get my device ready by flashing back to stock. It was rooted and on OF4 via the FlashFire method to keep root but when I flashed to the original stock it ended up wiping my baseband and as a result I lost data for two days. I just flashed these and now all is well again. Thanks again!

At Food lion, any location, after i tap the terminal all the instructions on the terminal LCD screen turn from english to spanish lol.

any way to make this into a flashable zip for flashfire? or flashing the files with flashfire without deleting everything? i doubt we can flash it like we would in odin as a firmware update but creating a zip and clearing caches just might work if the bl and rc is the same. not sure but im looking to update to this but don't want to go thought the whole set up and everything. i might anyway, not sure yet.

If you have a full backup then why not just flash new firmware with odin? Flash, root, restore data. Cant really get much easier or faster. What advantages are you seeing with a flashable zip that maybe i'm missing?

Some people do not have access to a computer to use odin maybe? Faster and easier to use flashfire as well. Odin is fine for me though.

Hi, I have the SM-G35U firmware currently installed on my AT&T phone. If I install this, will it wipe my phone or I can just download this over the old firmware (and still keep all my data).

Yes, it will clear out your phone (downloads, data, etc). So before you flash the firmware. Make a complete back up just in case.

advantages would be doing everything on one device like flashing the update and restoring data at the same time. and further more possibly making the flashable zip pre rooted and debloated. making it almost a cutom stock rom without the at&t and samsung bloat. and for people wanting an unrooted install then odin would be more useful for flashing it in my opinion. having root now and flashfire i dont really see the need to have to use odin still for every update unless it has a new bl.
