Sph-l720t update (there are dozens of us...dozens!)

While I realize it is relatively few to SPH-L720, I wanted to make a thread specific for the update ending with NAF for the triband variant,
the SPH-L720T.
While you may argue there is already a thread for the update, most of the userss are L720 not L720T, so the questions from L720T users keep getting drown out by others.
First order of business, though it has been asked but it has gotten no reply that I am aware of, has anyone gotten the OTA for the triband variant?
If so, can it be uploaded and distributed? It will be interesting to see if all the problems such as the sd card and rooting are the same.

I have the "T" model, and no OTA for me thus far.
I have rooted and installed some xPosed apps, but no custom recovery or rom. I'm hoping for 4.4.2 this week or so

I also have a 720T and haven't received notification of the update. I actually kind of regret my purchase of the 720T. I waited about a month to buy the 720T instead of the 720 because I figured I might as well "future proof" my purchase, but it seems most of the 720 mods and such don't work on the 720T. And with the S5 coming out, I think we'll be left in the dust. (I hope I'm wrong. My last phone was the original Evo and I loved how many different mods/roms/etc that had.)

(I left off my last paragraph, oops) I'm sure we'll have the same issues with SD Cards since it's part of the new Android standard (or, newly enforced, at least) and root exploits would normally be fixed independent of the radios.

It's crazy that I haven't heard a single person on the 720T getting the update yet... has anyone done the google services framework clearing thing yet? I know it jacks stuff up but I'm thinking of trying it soon.

i tried it. no luck.

GOOD NEWS!
Following the advice hhere: http://www.androidcoliseum.com/2013/01/how-to-get-your-ota-update-faster.html
I got the update after the 5th try. If someone will help me to know where to find it on my phone I will upload it. It's 401.2 MB.
Yay! My phone is rooted ... and I have a custom recovery .... so the update may not work....but here's hoping!
Bleck my phone is at 18% so I have to charge it to be able to even try.

Found the file will be uploading soon

Click menu / settings / apps
swipe over to the "All" category
scroll down for Google Services Framework and click it
click "clear cache" and "clear data"
hit home
go into your dialer
type in: *#*#2432546#*#*
wait for the notification "checkin succeeded"
Now go and try checking for your update.
Just go to the application manager, clear the data for the google services framework, go to dialer to type in *#*#2432546#*#*, check for update, repeat.... I've got the file about 50% uploaded

Got it to work, but the update errored out. I'm rooted with xPosed running. I guess I'm gonna try a restore tonight

Thanks but I'm good now. Hey if anyone has problems installing it that rooted it and used the xposed app, you have to flash the xposed disabler in the root directory with a custom recovery, that fixed it for me. Finally, got my kitkat!
Crap, stuck at Sprint Spark Screen... getting Set Perm: Some changes failed
So I dont think its compelting so I'm getting stuck at the sprint spark screen
Well Im just going to go ahead and do a total factory reset and flash all stock firmware...I mean it sucks, but I've only had my phone for two weeks so not a ton of data I'm going to lose...

I uninstalled the Xposed framework from within Xposed, and it seemed to work. I just can not get the OTA to re-download now.

Im about to do it through odin should be like a brand new phone at that point. I didn't have a ton of data, I backed it up, we'll see if it actually works though... lol all I want is to use tap and pay. Once I install it, Ill root it again and get where I can make a wifi hotspot for free and that's all I care about Just realized that download place sucks. Im uploading to dropbox right now
FINALLY! lol Got it working
I uploaded the update file, and it should be in your cache. Stock recovery can install from the sd card as well. So if you lost it for some reason I uploaded it a few posts above

at&t stock firmware download

hi
i need to download at&t latest stock firmware to flash it on my note5 as i soft bricked it.
where can i find it?
nothing on sam mobile ..
please help

please help

Unfortunately, the only way to get firmware for att devices is usually from att Ota updates... rarely does it get posted on sammobile.
You may need to take the phone to att and see if they can reflash it. I was on att for many years and I recently left their service because of this issue and their cost.

This is false, you can pull it yourself using the Samsung new kies tool(or whatever it's called). Look up the instructions, but be warned it will factory wipe your phone.

I was not able to do so on my previous note 3 or my note 8... both were att. Maybe I did something wrong, but it never worked for me when I tried it.
If my info is incorrect on this, my apologies.
Give it a try and see if it works.

oh.. didn't know it is so complicated .. i always used no phones from carrier .
all i want to do is download tar file and flash it through odin..
i hate kies and otas...

I found att phones to be a pain in the butt... that was one of the biggest reasons I went to tmobile... because I like to root.
Att is terrible at providing updates, their Ota process is stupid - why can't their updates also be available online for download? the locked bootloaders totally Rob you of the joys of android.
Good riddance att!

[Question] S6 Flat SM-G920T 6.0.1 Rooting

Hello Everyone!
Quick (stupid) question. How would one root the Samsung Galaxy S6 (Flat, T-Mobile Variant) running Android 6.0.1 (Stock)? Last night (As of this post) I've tried installing TWRP but ended in a bootloop at the Samsung logo, and (Thankfully) Smart Switch saved my ass. At this point, tripping KNOX isn't of my concern, as my phone's warranty has expired. Attached is my phone's Model, Build, etc.
Any help is appreciated.

Looking through all the builds, I don't see my build number. The closest one to mine (which is MMB29K.G920TUVU4EPF1), is MMB29K.G920TUVU3EPD1. Now, I would use this, but I don't want a 600$ brick, so unless it's compatible with my build, I'm gonna have to wait.

Ah, yeah, looks like you're running the latest update and it seems to early to tell if CF-Auto-Root will even work on it (I don't think anyone has tried yet).
Anyways, here's all the information you'll need: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67623487&postcount=7
Rest assured that you can't brick anything as long as you have access to download mode to reflash stock firmware.

Thanks for the reply. Hmm...last time I flashed TWRP on my phone, It got stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy" logo, stayed there no matter what, thankfully I was able to use "Emergency Firmware Reset." I've been snooping around forms, and some people state to, "UNCHECK AUTO REBOOT, when finished installing, reboot manually." Of course, I'm hesitant to try that, after all Smart Switch only backs up photos, videos, apps, etc, but not the actual Android operating system.

I'm gonna do a back up of what I can and try EncryptedCurse's suggestion. Wish me luck!

Did as instructed, still didn't work, freezes and shuts down at the Samsung Logo. Doing a Emergency Device Initialization now, and then restoring my stuff. Thanks anyway, I knew I shouldn't have updated to 6.0... :sigh:

From what I've tried, no. I had a feeling this would happen as soon as I upgraded.

On a side note, is anyone developing a kernel for build MMB29K.G920TUVU4EPF1? Twisted Six's kernel only goes up to EPD1...

What if you just downgrade back to lolipop ??

Worked like a charm just loaded it up in odin and flashed. No issue rewriting over the AT&T G920AUCS4CPF1 and restoring my phone back to Cricket Firmware.

I want to add that this is an interesting build of Marshmallow, not sure why Cricket is limiting phone performance with it. There is almost a 30% difference in benchmarks between This Cricket Version PG2 and AT&T Version PF1.
PF1 seems to run alot better on the phone. not sure why.

I really don't know if it is noticeable, but before I ran the AnTuTu benchmark, the phone did feel a little slugish as opposed to the AT&T PF1 version of MM which I had just switched from.
Will get back to you on battery life, but so far so good, it does seem to be a little better than AT&T version in that regards probably due to the lack of all the AT&T bloatware running in the backround.

Do you have a phone case or screen saver installed? Sounds like the proximity sensor got super touchy. After you flashed did you reset the phone to "Factory" before you restored any back ups or programs?

I do have a slim case and a screen protector on it. I performed a factory reset and still had the same problem. I decided to flash through Odin again, and didn't restore any data. Same problem. I'm back on AT&T PF1, and no issues at all.

So I've flashed this firmware a couple times before with no issues. Now whenever i flash this it does not recognize my sim card. Ive tried factory reset and re-flash, but still not reading sim card. The interesting thing is that when I flash the AT&T PJ1 build, it reads my sim card just fine. This is originally a cricket G920AZ model. Anyone else experience this issue? Do I have to flash the modem separately? If so, does anyone know where to find it? Thanks in advance.

please update link

AT&T Razer Phone 2 stock recovery?

Hi,
Would anybody be willing to upload the stock recovery from the At&t Razer Phone 2 please.
I would really appreciate it. I'm trying to work on some more for this phone.
Thank you

I know another att variant guy captured the newest pie zip URL and I downloaded it. The recovery lives in the boot.img right?
Were AT&T the ones that sent you the THX model? Or did you buy it straight from Razer?
I'll find that URL and past it here. I've extracted the previous Oreo update from the att build prior to moving to the global version. I had to capture the URL from a log, then downloaded it, then extracted it then I had to use python to fully extract pieces of the payload. Which included the boot.img.
Not a developer but I think I can help here.
Here's the URL for pie July security for att:

Hey bud,
Thank you for the extracted image. I really appreciate it. I fixed my laptop this morning and extracted the whole payload.bin with python. I'm currently doing research on the partitions. I'm also trying to figure out why the arter97 r10 kernel won't boot with at&t latest update. Just hangs at boot. It installs nicely with global. Again thank you very much for your time and effort.

Not at all. Of course I unlocked both bootloader and critical.
Then I've extracted the AT&T Oreo file on Razers website into my adb folder and run the flash all .bat file. After first boot I allow it to update to latest Pie update. Are you on AT&T?? I'm the one that posted the captured OTA link.

@JDBarlow Yes I'm on latest At&T. I've had it working a few days ago but switched to global for a minute to do a vendor/system comparison. Now I can't get it to work again. Thank you for the it's captured link bud. I've done the same thing you did but my phone came development unlocked with different recovery setup. I backed up all of my development firmware.

@kountry83 I know bro I'm patiently waiting on someone (dev) to step up and take this device on..I love it man has so much potential if we had more development :good:

Nice to see someone taking a swing at it. So tired of people trash talking this phone, when it's capable of so much. I'm not a dev but seems to me that this phone would be easy to tinker with since Razer pretty much begs you to. Welp I guess JD and I will be here to test anything or help any way we can. I've really only seen him and one other dude using this phone on att. Openly that is. I ended up on global cause I hated waiting on att to release pie update.
JD, how's your cell connection quality? I can literally stare at my signal and it drops out completely from 3 bars or so. Maybe I could flash the modem.img to see if the basebands are different? I might just flash the Oreo att firmware them let it update, then flash arter kernel, then flash magisk zip within arter twrp to get root.

@jonchance_84 Honestly I've gotten such great reception in my area I haven't even diagnosed that. I can pay more attention to it and see what happens. We actually get the 5G Evo in our area..
The flashing sequence you stated above is the exact order I've done mine twice now and everything works very well!!
Edit: I don't get the 5Ge on the Razer 2.. didn't want you to think that ?

I'm not even a mile from i-20 in East Texas. This is all I get on lte, but the weird thing is that never settles in.

@jonchance_84 I live in East Texas too! I got a little land, log cabin, man cave, and guest house that use to be a bed and breakfast lol. Love this country living. I'm on T-Mobile.

Nice! Other than the heat right now, love it here. I work in IT for an oil and gas company. Starting to tinker more with Android as a hobby. Last phone was a Nexus 6. Always been able to flash, follow directions with no problem, but the dev side seems a bit tricky.

@JDBarlow
I just did the same thing you did with the at&t update and booted up to setup. Then booted to bootloader then flashed arter boot.img to both a and b. Tried to boot back to setup and hangs on boot animation. Don't get why I'm having a hard time getting this to boot off this kernel. Ugh

Any errors when flashing arter boot.img via fastboot?

@kountry83 @jonchance_84
That's just freaking crazy lol I'm in East Texas too
Instead of flashing the kernel to both slots try ONLY <fastboot flash boot arter97.img> then reboot before installing magisk
Edit: the last time did this flashing sequence I actually booted to recovery right after installing arter97 installed magisk then booted to system

@jonchance_84 no errors. @JDBarlow just tried that also. Don't know what's going on here. I think it might be a little different hardware and software wise.

Maybe he isn't setup with the a/b scheme?
Edit: Maybe the arter kernel isn't compatible with some hardware that's different? Causing kernel panic which results in bootloop? It's gotta be something simple though. Otherwise the att firmware wouldn't even boot at all.
