What was the latest Kitkat official for the note 4? Is there somewhere to get it besides samobile? Its going to take several hours to DL.
4.4.4 is the latest KitKat. Go through some of the forums here and you can find them. Lollipop is the most current firmware.
You might try asking and/or searching here.

I have the XT1053 rooted running Epsilon V3, 4.4.4. on ATT. With Lollipop right around the corner, I'm wondering the best way to prepare. The latest official for the 1053 seems to be 4.4.3 and I've read the horror stories about downgrading and bricks.
I'm thinking my best option is probably to wait until somebody ports a custom rom of 5.0 for the Moto X to eliminate the brick possibility.
Any suggestions? Thanks
Wait for the OTA?

Episolon v3 was unstable ... but that aside he cannot ota from a modded stock not can he go back to a pure stock as there is no 4.4.4 stock flashable available
I dirty flashed V3 over my backup of V2 and everything is working fine. Can't post in the dev forums yet til I get a few more posts.
You can post any where now. If your under 10 posts an automatic thread will be created in the Q&A section. ?

Hi,
I've used my Note 1 for quite a while now and have tested various custom ROMS on it. I now want to take it back to stock ROM and from what I can gather it should be pretty simple to accomplish. However I have a couple of concerns:
There are so many stock ROMS out there... How do I determine which one I should use? Does it matter or will all work?
I read in a comment somewhere that I should not "downgrade" to a ROMS with an earlier Android version. Is this true?
I am currently running Mokee version MK44.4-n7000-141219-RELEASE with Android version 4.4.4
Baseband version N7000XXLT3
Hope you can help!
Thanks!

You can flash whichever 4.1.2 ROM you prefer. Go to samsungupdates.com and flash via PC of mobile Odin. Read up on how to do it properly. Guides already exist.

Hello,
I have been searching and looking. Is there a way to get the lollipop on a n900a? If so, what needs to be done? I don't think it's as simple as flashing the Cyanogenmod12 on a rooted 4.4.4. Any links or ideas how to get this to work?
Thanks in advance.
no. not until att releases an update.
How about using a safestrap?
nope. we need a leak or official release that has a kernel for lollipop.
Did you have to downgrade back to 4.4.2 and then upgrade to 4.4.4 with the stock kernel just curious. I seen that you were running a rooted 4.4.4?

There's a leak already here on xda, not yet for us, I wish somebody would make it work for us . http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/guide-t2983873

So disappointed that AT&T are dragging there feet on releasing Lollipop 5.0
Wish we could find a version out there for SM900A
Still looking for a complete guide to getting on a working version of 5.0+ rooted, xposed sm-900A... even if it requires Odin's great wrath.
Behold... It Works...

The only issue I'm having is the mic... other than that, I've got it rooted although SS won't work on this version... supposedly.
Enjoy.
I've been running the stock Lollipop build (Android 5.02, 39A) for a long time now. I see there isn't much activity on these forums, have people moved on to other phones? Are there any newer rom's I should try, that are 100% stable with no issues? (this is the main reason I stopped trying AOSP roms).
Is there any hope of M coming to our phone?
Hey everyone! After lurking for weeks and doing updates I signed up to give props and dig a little deeper....
I started with a G870A running 4.4.2 NG3 and needed to enable VoLTE, following r0ckarongs effortless tutorial I updated to 6.0.1 QD1 through the individual updates.
[EOL][G870A][MM][6.0.1] All Firmware Updates (latest QD1) (Updated 20/04/2018)[EOL]
Here you can find the update files for the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active (G870A) from AT&T General Remarks (Important): This does NOT work for S5 Actives from Verizon. These updates WILL REMOVE ALL your data. Make a backup with Smart Switch first...

Unfortunately, I read numerous reviews of KK vs LP, KK vs MM, LP vs MM and thought 6.0.1 would be the way to go......and I looooathe it!
Has anyone developed a smooth method of downgrading from the 6.0.1 version back to 4.4.2 or 4.4.4?
Tips on AT&Ts bloatware removal would also be helpful....
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance!
I don't think it's possible as ATT and Verizon locked the bootloader for their S5's effectively making it impossible or difficult to downgrade
42 Galaxy S5 models - Dummies Guide
#1.1. Think that everyone's Samsung Galaxy S5 is the same as yours... Think again! There are currently 42 models of the Samsung Galaxy S5 phone. Most of which are covered in this General Galaxy S5 forum. Some of these models have already had as many as 24 different stock Samsung firmware...
androidforums.com
That's what I'd found as well, along with a few that claimed success using numerous programs to start fresh - no confirmation on the accuracy of that though.
With the PH3 (6.0.1) update came a stock image containing the 6.0.1 bootloader, essentially making any previous device identical to one with factory installed MM.
I was thinking a stock image of KK 4.4.2 would function the same as the PH3 update by reverting the bootloader and OS, I can do most anything with a pc but Android's a new animal....so, I'm likely incorrect and have no idea wth I'm talking about. lol
Having tweaked and swapped a lot of pc software and OS I figure it may work since the older version OS would still match the original hardware - maybe someone will chime in that's tried it or has a copy of the KK factory image I can try installing. I actually have a NITB G870A....but haven't the faintest clue how to get a copy of the factory image off of it......
I appreciate the input Brother, thanks for the response!
