Ok, so I have the QA1 package from AT&T, how to I turn it into something that Odin can use?

Is it the OTA update or the actual full firmware?
IF its just the OTA package, we can still use that, all we have to do is flash the preceding firmware with ODIN and then use recovery to flash the OTA zip.
Upon closer inspection, it's just the update package. I can upload it somewhere, but probably not necessary. Downloaded from here with a tip from another thread:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin\wget.exe" --user-agent="SAMSUNG-Android" --no-check-certificate "https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/42925/1488/SS-G900AUCS4DPH4-to-U4DQA1-UP"
How do I make this into a zip that can update via recovery?
edit: this is probably faster than downloading via Samsung: https://goo.gl/jGt7TO

Literally all you have to do is put ".zip" at the end of the filename. Its just a zip file without the extension.
Sweet! Thanks for the tip.

It shouldn't... then again I had one OTA flash that half-flashed and then wiped everything so its a good idea to back up your important stuff
Bummer...wiped. Not a huge deal as I had a backup, but to anyone else following: this wipes everything.
Added QA1 - QB1 update here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/at...les-tested-update-to-marshmallow-ph2-t3450223
This WILL wipe your data when you flash this using recovery.

I accidentally deleted the socialhub ap with TBU. Now, facebook won't link to my phone contacts. Is there any other way to link Facebook pictures / info to phone contacts? If not, is there any way I can restore it / reinstall it (if someone could provide an APK?). I do not want to flash a ROM as I'm new to the Android scene and am now confident enough to do it yet. I have the phone rooted, however. Thanks for any advice in advance.

I believe I do. I've been able to install .apks downloaded from elsewhere than the Market, that means sideloading is enabled, correct?
Someone else may have a better way but the link below is for a flashable version of the jh7 ota. Dl it to your pc. Unzip it. Look in system apps. Find social hub. Copy it to your desktop. Move it to your phone. Install

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.

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

All of this info is readily available and accessible via search. You have to download the LYZ28E factory image. Unzip and extract the system image. Flash the system image via fastboot. You will have to flash TWRP again and SuperSU but you won't lose your data.

Why can't my phone find any OTA?It always says "Current Software up to date",but it's not.It had 5.0.2 until last month,when i flashed G890AUCU3BOJE with Odin.OTA update seems to be impossible with this phone.Now i see that there's another update and the phone still says it's up to date.Is there any solution for this?
You're using an AT&T phone in Romania, correct? If so, you're not on the AT&T network and will have to use ODIN to update your firmware. There are guides on the web for using ODIN. Once you have the latest released AT&T firmware, you can sideload the newest unreleased Marshmallow image as discussed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3372114. Good luck!

I recommend downloading Samsung SmartSwitch (http://www.samsung.com/us/smart-switch/assets/downloads/Smart Switch PC_setup.exe) to your PC. Then back up your phone prior to sideloading the updates. Then your final step would be to restore your backup using SmartSwitch. If you use an alternate launcher like Nova or Apex, you can back up and restore your launcher layout, too.

There's been several updates I have been unable to install as I am rooted. Is there an easy way to apply updates? Can you unroot, apply updates, then re-root for example? I'm confused about what might be the way. I've seen the debrand thread. But you would still be rooted and therefore unable to apply future updates?
Any advise appreciated

Hurupdater is the simplest solution and I've never had any issues at all.
Did you rename the files correctly?
Did you download the correct files?
Did you put unofficial TWRP .IMG in same directory as the other files and renamed it?
So in total you should have 5 files in one directory. Then just flash hurupdater .zip file in TWRP. That's it.

What can be easier then flashing one file then simply installing an actual official update?
Hu isn't hard I agree but it's certainly not easier then flashing one file.

Yea just flash no check recovery and it'll overlook the twrp recovery when you install the OTA update is system update.
Obviously has to be an official update but that's all the tinkering that's required.
No check is in the files listed in my guide from my Sig.
