I updated to 4.4.2 on my Verizon Developer Edition today and now I'm having issues updating Cloud Print. The Play Store keeps telling me that the package wasn't signed correctly. Do I have any other options besides rooting, uninstalling and then reinstalling it, because it's a system app? Any clues would be really appreciated. I'd post an image, but I'm too new of a user to link to one.

I recommend the basics. Going to the settings and clearing the app cache for the play store, try factory reset (yeah i know it sucks) try downloading the app again on wifi on LTE, etc. etc.

I've tried all of it and can't seem to sort it out. Think I'll just leave it alone, seeing as I've yet to print from any if my mobile devices. I did apply the update myself and I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

If you applied 4.4.2 from the files available here at XDA unfortunately you don't have the equivalent to a true OTA. The Cloud Print included with it had been modified and you will not be able to update it unless you root, delete it and reinstall it from the play store. The full image file from droid-developers.org has the exact same issue. Very frustrating punishment for those of us who weren't patient enough to wait for the OTA.

Alright I figured it had something to do with the fact I installed it from Zip instead of waiting for the OTA. I tried that solution and that didn't work either. When I installed it with root and the tried to install from the Play Store, it just told me "Invalid Package." So I'll wait a little while, until it's solidly rolled out and then go back to 4.4 and then flash the OTA the official way. Thanks for the confirmation on the Zip being the issue. Not having any other issues though, so I might just stick it out.

Well you must have manually flashed 4.4 without the 4.4 bootloader then, because RSD wont allow you to flash from 4.4.2 down to 4.4.
Be careful because if you take an update while back on 4.4 you will hard brick your phone.

Yeah that's exactly what I did, that's a good point. So should I wait for Motorola to post the recovery files, and then flash that when it comes out? Would that be safer?

Thanks for this. About d**n time lol. Hey @muniz_ri I assume we're going to have to use FlashFire in order to update to Lollipop from NH3 using EverRoot to maintain root access? Correct me if I'm wrong. Those of you who are rooted and want to keep it that way (or think they would like to be rooted once on Lollipop) might want to hold off taking this update until an expert can weigh in.
Thank you again for this. This is huge news!
Edit: Also if anyone knows how to and can capture the OTA file please do it. I'll do it later on my brother's heretofore unmodified i537 when he gets home, but if someone else wants to and is able, please by all means

NH3 but that's pretty transient at the moment. Downloaded the OTA on NH3 just to be absolutely sure, captured it and double checked, then immediately Odin-ed back to NE3 to preclude any possibility of the update going through. Updating to NH3 now and then going to root again so I can freeze the OTA system process using TiBu or something similar.
The moment I captured the OTA file, I copied it to both my PC and my laptop. So it's safe and sound, it ain't going anywhere, I'm just waiting for it to upload.

I have the NE3 to NH3 2400258.cfg I zipped it and am uploading it to AFH. Will do the same to NH3 to lollipop 2400258.cfg next. After that, if you would like, I'll go back to NE3 and capture the OTA from there, but obviously that will take significantly longer.
Sorry I didn't realize NE3 to lollipop would have been the more useful OTA capture or I would've just done it that way to begin with

By chance have you tested downgrading back to NE3 just to make sure? I understand that it should theoretically be possible since the aboot counter doesn't change, but I just want to make sure it's been done before I start telling people it is possible.

Hey all,
Thought I'd let those of you that have an AT&T Tab S 8.4 know that Lollipop has been released today. Happened to be on the AT&T Software update page here: http://www.att.com/esupport/softwareUpdateArticle.jsp?sid=KB425812&cv=820 and noticed it listed the update.
Manually checked for updates on my tablet, it's downloading now. My 8.4 on AT&T is totally stock.
Downloading now... 1.1GB
manually checking shows nothing for me
Mine wasn't too laggy after the upgrade. But as I know from places like XDA usually a very good idea to do a full system wipe which I did.
What I am most thankful for is there is now an option to remove that Samsung screen that has those Samsung widgets that go full page. Can't recall what it is called. Yeah I know could have got rid of that using a 3rd party launcher in 4.4 but so happy Samsung put option there to disable it finally. To get rid of it, long press blank space like you were going to add a widget, then click Home Screen Settings, then uncheck "Content Home Screen".
Has anyone who rooted with kingroot updated? I'm assuming it'll kill root, just curious if I need to unroot prior, or if the update will still install. I'll post the answer tomorrow after I update.
I've had some Samsung devices which will update while rooted, and some that will not.

I'm rooted with Kingroot and it's currently downloading the update. If you load Xposed Framework and Wanam Xposed, under Security hacks there's a setting for Fake System Status that allows you to set it to Original.
I'll follow up when the download finishes.
Update: The download completed but the install failed and then got stuck in a boot loop. Ended up having to go to the Samsung place at Best Buy to have them re-flash KitKat. Now the tab is telling me I have to wait 24 hours to check for updates. I'm sure everything will be good now that I'm back on a factory image.

Turn off automatic date and time and manually advance it by a day, and try again.
When they re-flashed KitKat did it wipe your tablet? The OTA failed me when rooted, failed me after un-installing adaway and un-rooting and removing KingUser. I cannot do a firmware upgrade via Kies 3 as it's not available. I cannot do an emergency firmware recover via Kies 3 as it's not soft bricked. I can't find either the KitKat or the Lollipop firmwares online anywhere... Currently I have a tablet, works fine, I did a factory reset (in the back of my mind knew this wouldn't work) that has a custom status and won't take the OTA.
If anyone knows where I can find the KitKat firmware, or the OTA, please let me know.
Or maybe someone could grab the OTA off their tablet after downloading prior to updating and share the wealth with the community???
Has any kingroot user tried triangle away, unroot via kinguser, and take the OTA?
Also just realized that if I can fail the OTA, I can obviously download it... Where do I grab it from if I wanted to flash it with odin or sideload?

OTA came down successfully while not rooted. The reflash at Best Buy didn't wipe it.
As far as I know, the factory images for the AT&T versions aren't available anywhere, or at least I've been unable to find them. They obviously exist because I'm pretty sure the guy at Best Buy used Kies to flash with an image that's available to him from Samsung.
I re-rooted last night in the attempt of using triangle away to clear customs status, then un-rooting. This was odd because device status still shows custom but download mode shows official and Knox is 0.
While I was briefly rooted again I downloaded the OTA in the hopes of copying it to my PC and updating via ADB Sideload... Couldn't find it. If anyone knows where Samsung puts these I'll grab it and post it to share.
im not rooted, performed a factory reset, and my device still doesn't see any updates. Can somebody provide a link to the ROM?

The OTA gets downloaded to /cache. If you are rooted you can see it. But the OTA is not a complete ROM, just a differential to the ROM you have.

Turns out there is a imei problem with the tablet that is preventing the download. My imei number is paired with a IPhone 4. Anyway will take a few day to fix then the upgrade should work.
I get the same. I wiped my device hoping for a different outcome, and still no update.
I found this in the thread below.
It is an old tread but I'll comment anyway. SM-T807 is the 3G version while SM-T805 is the LTE version. Both Hardware (CPU/GPU) and comms modules are different. So 805 LTE (which has Lollipop) firmware won't work for 807 (no Lollipop is currently available nor Samsung plans to release soon).

John.
After not being able to take the OTA after rooting, even after un rooting, not being able to find the OTA and sideload (not in /cache), and not able use Kies or Odin I finally took it to the Samsung kiosk at my bestbuy.
They reflashed 4.4.2, didn't wipe anything, and immediately downloaded and successfully installed the lollipop update after getting home and on WiFi.
Just don't mention that you rooted ;')

most likely the stagefright fix..
The S6 (non-Edge) is getting an update today as well. Likely the same OF4 security enhancement for Stagefright that the Active received some time ago.
I just finished installing it. Only change I can tell so far is the stagefright fix (the detector app now reports my phone as secure, whereas a couple of days ago it didn't)
I assume the process is unroot, apply update, reroot? Or does this patch PingPongRoot too?
I don't think you can regain root access after you update beyond OF3. PingPong only works on versions prior to OF3. I purchased my S6 Edge with OF3 already installed on it. Very bummed and optimistically wishing someone will find a way to root OF3 and beyond. I hope they are not making it more and more difficult to root with these new "mandatory" updates that the phone apparently updates without consent. It gives you the ability to "postpone" the update but at one point or another applies the update automatically.
Ugh well I mistakenly updated tonight thinking the latest version was e2.
I attempted ping-pong root beta 6 and it failed.
At a loss. Please update me if anyone finds a new root method.
definitely i guess i will just wait for it
could someone grab this OTA please and upload it. i need it to fix a phone.

Would someone grab the OTA update (before applying). dkcheung on the regular S6 forum wants a FlashFire modified version to keep PingPong root. Already have the OF3 Odin files necessary, just need the OTA to be able to patch the modem.bin and boot.img as well as fix up the OTA for FlashFire.

The file will be located in /cache/fota/XXXX.cfg (in reality, it's a zip file)
I can't access that directory without root

OF3 update

I don't think you can regain root access after you update beyond OF3. PingPong only works on versions prior to OF3. I purchased my S6 Edge with OF3 already installed on it. Very bummed and optimistically wishing someone will find a way to root OF3 and beyond. I hope they are not making it more and more difficult to root with these new "mandatory" updates that the phone apparently updates without consent. It gives you the ability to "postpone" the update but at one point or another applies the update automatically.

I am assuming he can root OF3 OTA when he gets the update, in which case we can then pull OF4 OTA and root that update as well. Unfortunately, my phone isn't pulling the OF3 update to post so if anyone could send him the file that would be awesome.
@wesgarner thank you for the help, I will send you the file if my phone pulls down the update (phone says up to date as of now) as soon as I can get it.
Hoping this is what you need. This is the OTA update I got while being on OE2.

I have a TMobile Note 4 SM-N910T. It's currently on 5.1.1 stock and I just got the OTA Marshmallow update notification. I'd like to try Marshmallow out, but if I allow the OTA update, will I be able to root it later? Or is 6.0.1 unrootable (for now)? If I root it now (before updating to MM) will I still get the OTA update? And will it still be rooted after the update? So many questions!
ota then root
I OTA'ed, now the phone randomly reboots several times a day, and some apps don't work correctly. Great.
factory reset.
*sigh* I was afraid you were going to say that. Now the problem is backing it up. I have a Titanium Backup Pro license, but I only use it on my old rooted GS2. The Note 4 is not rooted so TB won't run on it. All the rooting tutorials say "back up your phone before you root" but you need root to run TB. Chicken or egg? I guess I could try Samsung Kies, don't know if it will back up everything. My photos are backed up to Google Photos, I guess everything else is replaceable, but I would really rather not have to reinstall all my apps one by one after a factory reset.
That brings up another question: when you to go Settings/Backup and Reset, I have "Backup my data" set to On and linked to my Google account, but nowhere can I find documentation of exactly WHAT gets backed up or to WHERE (it says to "Google servers" but what the heck does that mean? I can't find it on my Google Drive or anywhere else on my Google account dashboard.)
I do greatly appreciate your help, by the way.
You could try reinstalling through kies or smart switch. Make sure to clear caches before and after. And see if that works. If it doesnt help, you could flash recovery, root, try to backup as much as you can between reboots and then factory reset. Your apps should automatically download from play store. But without the titbackup files you'll lose settings and data in a lot of apps that Google doesn't backup.

Were you able to downgrade back to 5.1.1? My phone also download the MM ota but I haven't installed it. I rooted 5.1.1 first and am trying to locate where exactly the MM ota downloaded to.
Been hearing too much about problems with MM.

There aren't that many problems with MM. Just superficial stuff like not having mobile data toggle. The problems you are hearing about a factory reset will fix. Like lag, jankyness, apps loading, phone freezing temporarily. You won't be able to do OTA. It will fail because of root. You need to titanium backup or whatever method you prefer of backing up data and flash through kies, odin or smart switch. Probably easier to go that route unless you only did minor things with root like just block ads, then you can probably get away with flashing stock recovery and then OTA. You still might have to factory reset like I had to even though I flashed whole rom through smart switch. If you have xposed or modified something like swapping recent apps and back key like me, then you'll need to flash marshmallow whole and start over after backing up.
Afaik, you can't downgrade to 5.1.1 unless somebody figured out a workaround or you only flashed everything except bootloader.

@Shad0wsabr3, my phone gave me the choice to delay the upgrade for a while, but eventually just did it without my consent. I suppose you could download stock 5.1.1 from sammobile if you really wanted to downgrade. I just wish I could figure out how to back up my (unrooted) phone so I could then do a factory reset and see if it helps the problems I'm having.

Iv never backed up an unrooted device so I wouldn't know. Glad you nrought that up as Iv been meaning to look into that.
Would you happen to know where the downloaded ota file location is? My phone downloaded it and I keep postponing it.
Sorry, idk exactly where in the file system it is. All I can caution you again is, I kept postponing it and postponing it, and then one day the phone just popped up a message saying it was going to reboot and update, whether I liked it or not. Well, it didn't actually SAY whether I liked it or not but it did decide that I had postponed the update long enough and it was going to apply the update, giving me no option to postpone it any longer. That sort of pissed me off.
Please let me know if you come up with a backup solution. I've tried SimpleADB or whatever it is called these days, and another app that claimed to be able to back up an unrooted phone. Neither of them worked as advertised.
Where are the root instructions for completely stock 910T with MM update?

I'm still researching what your dealing with. As for me I found the ota file. For those looking for it this is how and where I found it....
With RomToolbox I went to root browser. Then to data folder and a folder named fota. Within the fota folder is the ota update named update.zip. I erased that and then went into Titanium Backup and chose to freeze both software update files. So far no constant reminders that I have an update ready to be installed.
Hope this may help.
