Hello,
I bought a used SM-N900A and I used ODIN to NL2 as when I got the unit I was having problems upgrading and getting it to run correctly.
Today I hit "check updates" and it says I'm on the latest version 4.4.4 NL2 build Aug 6th. Is this correct? Can I get to OC2 Lollipop? I don't want to go to NC1 and downgrade and start all over as it's a work phone.

When the Galaxy siii got an update to 4.1.2 I flashed my Galaxy S3 I9305 LTE To Android 4.1.2 XXELKC trying to put on ofhe one done by audism. Now Im trying to put on official 4.1.2 firmware. I downloaded it and tried to flash it. It didnt work. Any help would be appreciated
we'll need a bit more info.. how are you trying to flash it? what file did you download (filename)
1. Install Samsung Kies
2. Reset flash counter with Triangle Away
3. Update device using Lies
DONE!
Well I am probably forgetting something but they are the basics
Also OTA updates requires an 'official' phone status rather than 'modified' so make sure to reset the flash counter if you ever want to use OTA

Hi,
I bought my phone from eBay and it seems to be Hong Kong based (I9305ZHALI2, build number I9305ZHBLJ1).
I found and downloaded 4.1.2 firmware from sammobile: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=8156
It is now on my phone's external sd card as tar.md5 file. I also rooted my phone using ExynosAbuse: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050297
I have a Mac and so cannot use the Odin, but it seems that MobileOdin should do the trick, if I just flash the firmware using the downloaded firmware.
Am I correct in thinking these are the steps to install this update?:
1. Buy mobile odin pro
2. Flash the firmware without wiping data. I read that wiping data while updating official rom could brick my phone.
3. If I want to be able to get OTA updates in the future, should I leave the root options in mobile odin unticked? Or just update all future firmwares using the same method?
Thanks!
EDIT: I flashed the rom using mobile odin lite and it went ok, but the firmware was the same I already had, 4.1.1. So it seems that sammobile has a wrong version number on their website. Damn.

Okay so I downloaded the official firmware off Sammobile firmware: GT-I9305 Hong Kong 2012 November Android 4.1.2 I9305ZHBLJ1 I9305TGYBLJ1
And then I tried to flash it via recovery mode. It kept coming up E: Can't open /sdcard/I9305ZHBLJ1_I9305TGYBLJ1_TGY.zip(bad). This was using clockworkmod recovery v6.0.1.9. I tried extracting it but it only came up with 2 files and I didnt want to risk it. I want an unrooted version of 4.1.2 thats official.
You must unzip the File and flash the unzipped file via odin3!

hi i want to update my gt-i9305 network ee-orange running 4.1.1 i had notification in kies wen i linked phone to upgrade firmware, the problem is my computer hasnt got the specs needed to use kies, IS THERE ANY ALTERNITIVE METHODS?? i want 4.1.2
They are only recommended specs that Kies should run flawlessly at so I advise using Kies still
If I am not mistaken 4.1.2 official hasn't been push out by out on most carriers if any at all so it may mean modem firmware in which you should always update, well if you want optimum network performance anyway

maybee ? Why don't you upgrade it on microsoft site or windows update ?
Or flashing an official firmware via Odin (and reading tutorials) might work just fine, if you get the firmware file (not allowed yet to post external links sorry)
The .net framework isnt a hardware spec but should actually come pre-installed Vista and up but just google it and install! It may also be on windows update

Guys
I have a SM-900A on MJ5, not rooted, on ultra mobile (t-mobile)
1. software update says there is no update available.
2. i tried 240258.zip (or something - renamed to update.zip) in sd card...Install from external storage...gives me some error about keys not matching, wipes /data and reboots
The guide to go up to 4.4.2 over here uses a UrDroid rooted 4.4.2 after safestrap. But that was back in Apr 2014 when towelroot was not available.
Where can i just download the correct update.zip and do a stock upgrade to 4.4.2? i do want to root after it but i am assuming towelroot should work without a hiccup. Am i missing something here?
Thanks
I JUST did this same dance. Don't follow any other instructions except for the "Ready to update to KK from JB" guide laid out here. You'll be incredibly pleased ha. So easy and hiccup free. Use Geohot's root toolbar to get you started! Good luck! PM me if you have problems

Thanks monkor..will gave that a shot
edit: monkor..that was I asking about when I said do you really need to safestrap? Can't I just Odin that urdroid rom or the stock update? (Where is the stock update of 4.4.2?)
From what I've read, everyone who deviates from that guide has problems. You might Hey lucky and not, but I'd just go roti the easy method. Took me all of five minutes

i just went to bestbuy and got 4.4.2. Btw all they did was Odin the stock 4.4.2 in and im sure he only did that.
Hey guys I had a update menu pop up. Went into recovery and got to 25%. After that phone rebooted and it said update failed to install. I checked the update screen again and it says im up to date. Dis a factory reset and says ita up to dat. Was it a fluke? I have provided a screen sgot to show my latest firmware to see if you guys know if its up to date. Thanks guys.

Since your build number is saying nce i'd say no, theres some odin flashable ng3 files in the general section if you want to give that a shot, i personally dont think im very qualified to give suggestions as far as that goes though, so i'd wait for further instruction from someone who knows more than me.
Sent from my SM-G900A using Tapatalk
Yeah, kernel and build number don't look up to date. I'd think you could follow the guide to odin back to the nc3 completely and try the ota again, or use the ng3 stock rooted firmware available to odin everything up to current (but with root). I looked for stock unrooted ng3 and couldn't find it, although it may be available too.

Go to this thread and download the NG3 update and save it to your ex sd card then go to stock recovery and select install from ex sd card and you'll be good to go

Hi
I searched forum and got really confused how to root 4.4.4 all the instruction I find is kind all about 4.4.2
i search on galaxynote3root.com/galaxy-note-3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-3/
the direction point AT&T N900A to 4.4.2 link not 4.4.4. so i am totally lost, i tried download towelroot it says device not supported. so i am completely lost, I rooted my S1 and S3 before no problem but when I just got my note 3 and updated to 4.4.4 I am completely lost
Please help me
Thank you!
4.4.4 is tricky.
You need to use the Odin software to go back to 4.4.2 nc2 firmware.
Then you install and run towelroot.
Then you install safe strap.
Then busybox
Now you download the update from this
Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=57729221
Now you boot into safestrap to apply the update.. The update is 4.4.4 with old kernel
Then you install the kernel for 4.4.4 via Odin.
Note: I haven't done this yet since I just stayed on 4.4.2.

Use this link it isn't exactly what you want but it shows how to use Odin and has the nc2 file hiding in there.

Have you tried a different version of Odin?
I've got the Note 4 N910T3
I rooted, via the beast kernal. Everything was going fine until I decided to factory reset (had a few programs go haywire)
factory reset went fine, I reinnitialized android with my google information. Rebooted the phone, and now I'm stuck at "custom binary blocked by frp"
It's my fault for not rechecking the option in developer settings, but its too late
I can get into download mode, but simply booting, or getting into recovery give me that error.
what can I do to get my phone booting?
Odin back to stock I guess?

I'm willing to give that a shot, but where would I go about finding the stock odin file? the only files I can seem to find are modded ones for the N910T, not the N910T3

That would be the factory reset protection, you need to odin the stock images back on, run through the setup as fast as possible, open developer options, and turn on OEM Unlocking. From there you can flash whatever you'd like. The FRP will also block insecure kernels, and recoveries from being loaded.
That's exactly what I did. And it worked. This just so happened to be the first and only phone I've had with frp. Learn something new everyday.
