Very slow 50 kb/s I have a gigabit connection. This will take 7-8 hours. Brings me back to the dial up days.

Will either of these (zip or cfg) maintain root?

No, You will loose root by any method you choose to update to lollipop best to wait and see if root is even possible before updating. otherwise you may find yourself in the position of no root and no way to downgrade to 4.4.x

That's what I figured. I will just keep waiting to see if root is achieved/can be maintained.
I am uploading to my mediafire for a second dl location for those who are interested. If you want to keep root do not flash this file until a flashable version is available. If you want to flash this version do a backup with Kies so you can restore everything after you update. I did this many times before I rooted this device, it works.

Can you install the OTA if you still have 4.4.2 installed? i reflashed stock on my phone and it won't let me update to 4.4.4...keeps getting interrupted/failing.

There is update floating somewhere 4.4.2 to 4.4.4. Read this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...to-root-g900aucu2aoa1-4-4-4-2-3-2015-t3021120
Just Quote from post i post link to :
"1. Should the OA1 ota update fail consider returning to factory stock NCE (all User Data will be lost) by flashing the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar using Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+) then taking the OTA updates to OA1. Or, place the G900A_NCE_to_NG3_OTA.zip and G900A_NG3_tA1_OTA.zip onto your ext-sdcard and sideload from stock recovery starting with the G900A_NCE_to_NG3_OTA.zip. Once updated to OA1 "
Do this. Links to download are provided at page i post link

Nothing so far
For those of you like myself that took the new update, but may have had second thoughts about wanting to root, I just confirmed that you can flash back via Odin.
I did confirm while I was running the new OE2 update that I was not able to obtain root.

It doesn't block root, it's a new kernel, pingpong dev will need the new kernel to make the root work with it, just they need the kernel for every version that they support.

You need to extract it from
AP_G920AUCU1AOCE_CL4351102_QB4488924_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
and package it up as a tar.md5 so you can use it in odin.
Or just wait for pingpong to update, I gave them the updated kernel and stuffs.

Hard to judge since it is new. Screen on time is 5 Hours 50 minutes where before I was getting about 4 Hours 10 Minutes. I removed bloat of course so it was snappy as it was when rooted before. Free memory fluctuates from 900Mb to 200Mb but that was happening with rooted OCE. The main improvement seems to be SOT.

I recently updated to OF3 to see what's what, not knowing the consequence of not being able to downgrade back to OE2. I know that Ping Pong is patched for this update, but I'm just wondering if there is any hope for root or if I'm screwed with this uldate. Thanks to anyone that can let me know!

"Junior member" with a post count of 3. I wouldn't trust that. I tried various combinations of Odin and TAR files to revert. Errored out each time. I'm almost positive it's impossible to downgrade.

I believe you are correct. Unless his method seemed reasonably issue-proof (line use a different Odin version or something) I wouldn't try it.

Since you guys are trying to downgrade to OE2, I'm assuming that means you have the .tar files?? I just bought a new S6 and have been trying to update to OE2 from OCE and I have already tripped my Knox counter. It repeatedly tells me my software is up to date, so there is no way for me to OTA at the moment. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I know this is old, but i read that the problem is OTA update of 5.1.1 OF3 and i have 5.0 OF3, does it make any difference?
EDIT: sorry everyone, thought was on S5 section. Delete post please.

Oh gosh! Please do so...I'm a Canadian using a G900A and it is so frustrating how I cannot get the OTA's here. I hope CPA1 improves performance because OF5 is a sometimes frustrating.
Am curious am in Canada if I use vpn to mimic being in USA and I put in a AT&T sim card (not currently active account) can I fool it I to ota update? I tried this and it checked for update and said none available at this time. check again in 24 hours. Not sure if this is Cuz update is being staggered or if this is the default message when you are not on their network?
Also. If someone does provide the update after downloading it what is the process of installing it in stock recovery?

I am using a G900a from at&t and I am not at the states but still I got the updates, I dont know If you are talking about different updates but after looking at this post, just out of sheer curiosity I went into setting and checked for updates and it send me, the worst thing is I didn't want to update.. and there was no way to stop the download, so I had to Perform a factory reset before it downloaded... ( might not have been necessary to factory reset though)..

one way to block the update is to fill up the SD partition. The update is not coming to my phone fortunately with a message to uninstall unused apps or delete photos and videos to free up 713.18 MB to enable the update process
That would be great

I think you might be able to use the ODIN images in that thread but you should ask. If you are on a full OTA OI5, then chances of finding PA1 OTA from someone else is pretty low since OI5 was never rooted, hence there isn't a way to get the PA1 OTA from a OI5 device.
If you are on OI5 with keep root as in the other thread then the first post has the steps; you will need to go through an intermediate step of downgrading from OI5 to NCE and root the device on NCE and then upgrade to PA1 with that image. Note that if you took the OI5 OTA previously, downgrading to NCE will brick your device (DON'T DO IT).

You really shouldn't point people looking for the stock OTA file to that thread. It's really for rooted users who want to test drive the newer firmware. Some novice user who just wants the stock update file can really mess up their phone if they follow that thread.

The OTA file, maybe. The ODIN files, no, pretty sure one guy already screwed up his phone doing that. The first post says you must be rooted to flash those files, should be the first hint.

Okay you should be able to upgrade to MM without a hitch. I've done it before on my phone and can verify that it won't brick your phone.
BUT. It may wipe all user data, so make sure to back up EVERYTHING before proceeding (I lost some photos and memos in my upgrade because my backup software wasn't cooperating)
You should be able to just OTA to the latest MM build (Settings > About Device > Software Update > Check for update)
Keep in mind that if you OTA to MM, you won't be able to go back to Lollipop.
There is another way, but this is the easiest and what I recommend you try first because all other methods will upgrade you to a pre-release build.
