I'm on the leaked 4.4 and I see people are having problems not being able to update. If there was an Odin version, would that work?

It's because AFAIK it's not pure MJ5 but it's modified. We never had MJ5 build on Kies or Sammobile.

I restored to mj5 and then did Ota update to another version which worked fine and then it tried to do an Ota update to 4.4.2 and fails. Thinking of trying emergency firmware restore via kies and see if that works.

It won't. Kies only has MI9. It will fail because of different flash count in aboot trust me.

I can confirm this. Tried this also and it fails
I think I might know a way. Someone who restored and cannot update PM me.
Is there any way just to force the download?

There are 3 people trying it. I'll post it if they succeed.
Hey i have the leaked version of 4.4.2 rom installed on my ATT note 3.
I hear news on the OTA update but i don't see why i need to get it.
I just want to get my phone rooted so i can use some of the applications that require super permissions.
Downgrading to 4.3 build seem like an option but some of the links bring me up to "file was removed because of copyright/somethinglikethat", also i prefer more of a one-click style.
But does anyone know where i can find it? Searching for it leads me to the exact opposite of what im looking for. So hopefully a thread post can help me out.
You can't directly root it as far as I know.
You may end up having to revert to MJ5, install SS and then install one of the 4.4 ROMs we have available.

i read his post, but you can't get safety strap installed properly without having super user permission. If there is no root for the leak i only see the option to downgrade to jb and get root. The process seems tedious and like i said a bunch of the things you need to download, the links aren't workin.
As far as I know, the links are fixed.
Some people like myself are not lazy and have no problem doing tedious things to get their phones to function the way they want.
You may not care about downgrading to upgrade to a custom 4.4.2 ROM with root, but others do.

It asked the same for me, I just said yes, although for some reason binaries seem to fail at updating. But when using an app that requires root, Super SU still asks to allow root to tha app. I also used Titanium Backup Pro to freeze three apps relating to Knox. You can also do that as well, just to be safe.

Just FYI it was not actually a link to the SuperSU app the user just stated that he went to the website and downloaded the latest SuperSU files and manually installed SuperSU and then the updated apk. As you said after installing the new SuperSU.apk version it updates properly.

Here is the link... And by the way you open the zip with the normal file manager and extract the files and then when you're in the folder find he apk and just install it. It not rocket science.

But someone said that SuperSU failed to update, he was just pointing them in the right direction to fix that issue.
Xperia Z1s got an OTA update yesterday...And I was wondering if I could update and still re-root..Or if I'd keep the root.. I've done this on other phones before But the Z1s I'm not so sure about..
From another thread [quote name="ptoner" post=54472834]Just got notification on O2 (UK) that 4.4.4 update is available OTA.<br />
<br />
Before I install, can anyone confirm if this OTA update will preserve my towelroot root?[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
Don't worry about it, the new 4.4.4 FW is easily rooted using newroot from munjeni. Look in the development section, its a 1 click solution and will install recovery as well.<br/>
So this will work with the Z1s?

I used to run the Tmobile support forums a few years ago. We used to get the same builds from most of the Canadian Operators would get but with different build numbers and they would work (at least for samsung and htc devices). There were some minor differences such as wifi calling but for the most part the devices share the same hardware and software tweeks for US based GSM operators and Canadian ones. I dont have much experience on sony devices though.
The update is 14.4.B.0.37
I haven't installed it yet because Rooting the Z1s was tricky to begin with And I don't wanna do something I'll regret

Create a FTF for the old version, then when you upgrade if there is a problem with root you can flash the FTF and re root on the FW you are on now

I don't think this is real. Someone else would have gotten it over the span of two days since this thread was started. Xperiablog never even reported on it. And he is ignoring everyone's request to at least post a screenshot. I hope in wrong, but this seems a bit improbable.

You have to excuse our skepticism... it's just that we've been waiting for KitKat for over half a year, with no sign of it whatsoever, and then you tell us that your phone is being sent the update. I really do want to believe you, more than anything else. Is there any way for you to upload that screenshot?
Ive been waiting too And I feel like it was a glitch I remember the update being around 356mbs I was debating updating because I couldn't make calls.. Came here learned about getting an ftf file if any thing went wrong so i just went ahead and and installed the update but it didn't work so now I dont even know anymore..But i am looking for thr screenshot I took of it

You have to be 100 percent stock for ota to install.
Upload ota to a file provider.
My only question is how only one person would receive the update I have Google it and that ota doesn't exist.
If you need the stock ftf I have it.

Try simply installing this and if it still does not work then wipe the cache and data of supersu remove the version you have installed, reboot and try installing this after that
Be sure usb debugging is enabled in developer options and unknown sources is checked as well.

Usually U r unable to install update while rooted. Check ur version again after updating. In ur case i'd suspected u r still on the same version.
