Hello,
The Sony update center downloaded Lollipop automatically, the problem is that I want to keep root so I will flash it through Flashtool, now I have this update file taking up more than 1GB and I don't know where it is... Do you have any idea?
Thanks
I have the same problem,did you find the update file?I deleted one that was inside the recovery folder, same size,same date of download...
The new update for G-900A Samsung Galaxy S5 was launched on 9 march. I can't update my phone because I'm not in USA.
Can anyone post the OTA file or the .zip file to manual update my S5? I'm sure I'm not the only one looking for the update.
See link
I have the same problem. I just got my phone back to normal after flashing the previous update as update.zip on an external sd card from the recovery screen. I'd like to install this update without losing all of my data again but I'm not sure it is possible when abroad. Very annoying!

Requires root. In addition, those files are not a complete PA1 update zip file. They require Odin. Please stop referencing that thread to folks looking for the PA1 update zip.

Hi guys, i have no idea of this phone, I own a S3 i9300, with TWRP and tried CM11, 12 and 13, also installed CM and TWRP on other phones like i9303, i9070, etc..
Now a friend bougth this phone and hates the 4.4.2 stock rom full of bloatware and branded.
Can anyone point me out to a nice CM rom for this phone (I didn't found any official or unofficial), this update thall all talks about PA1, will be good for that mobile? He says that the OTA updates shows no new updates... I didn't put my hands on the phone yet, so I want to be prepared for what i shall try...
Is there another debranded rom (with no verizon bloatware)?
Is it dangerous to try to flash a variant like SM-G900M, or so..?
Thanks in advance!!
I'm wondering if it's worth it. Version 23.201.2.en.us
I'm not sure, but here it is:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12873062/Blur_Version.23.201.2.victara_verizon.verizon.en.US.zip
Is there a way to flash this onto a rooted phone? I unlocked my XT1096 a couple of months ago and installed Teamwin then flashed SuperSU.
I need some help on this too. I heard it's just a security update but it fails for me because I'm rooted and deleted a bunch of apps. Is there any way to take the OTA update?

To take the ota you have to reflash the full 5.1 firmware for verizon.
You can't have root nor a modified sytem for OTAs to work. So you need back all those apps you removed and get rid of root.

I've put together a debloated TWRP flashable version. It's here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66354183&postcount=1057
Please review the first post in that thread as the ROM is partially debloated and has SuperSU and Xposed pre-installed. GApps have been removed and you need to install your own. It is possible with the files posted to have a full stock install but you'll need the instructions from that thread to accomplish that.

Which of these files would I want to flash, if I'm running stock firmware (rooted with SuperSU flashed)? The update from Verizon is ~20 MB, but you have a 30MB modem firmware and 398K bootloader.

Ok, those files are for the stock based rom that I maintain. You need to read the first post in that thread to understand what it is. SuperSU and Xposed are preinstalled, GApps are removed and you have to install your own. If you want a full stock install, that is also possible with the files posted, it's all explained there.
The file sizes are different because the Verizon patch has some full files like gpt.bin and fsg.mbm but the rest is just small patches to apply to the exisiting files. The first thing the Verizon patch does is check that you have the correct original files and if not, it aborts; you can't apply the patch if you've modified system by installing SuperSU, etc. My patches have the gpt.bin update seperate for ease of putting the files together, the firmware has the fsg.mbm file from the Verizon patch and then the full modem partition from my phone after applying the patch instead of just the patch files. That way the patches can be applied no matter what is on your phone now but they are much larger files.

Thanks mikeoswego. I flashed the two smaller files you provided using TWRP. Are those the only 2 zip files I need? I didn't see anything specific to a kernel or anything.
I am on rooted stock rom where I deleted a bunch of apps I didn't want.

It turns out that when I flash the two .zip files, my Moto X still thinks there is a system update available. Is there something else I'm supposed to flash?

Thanks.. it doesn't seem like I can install just the update. I'd need to flash the whole ROM. Correct?

The two smaller zips are the bootloader and modem firmware, the rom and kernel are in the xt1096-5.1-23.32-25-5-2_1.zip file. You could extract the boot.img file from the zip and flash it with fastboot. If you want the full ROM and want to flash SuperSU yourself and remove whatever bloat yourself, then use xt1096-full-stock-23.32-25-5-2.img.7z file; you can flash the image file within that archive with current versions of fastboot. (Or, using 7zip, you could delete the system.img file from xt1096-5.1-23.32-25-5-2_1.zip then rename the .img file in xt1096-full-stock-23.32-25-5-2.img.7z to system.img and place it in xt1096-5.1-23.32-25-5-2_1.zip. Then you would TWRP flash that, it would update your kernel (boot.img) and install the system partition just as if you took the OTA on the stock system.) Like AGISCI said above, the only way to use the OTA directly is on an unmodified stock system.
Forgive me, I'm not really following you. I don't know what's in the OTA exactly. Is there anything in your post that I can flash that will update my system to the latest version without wiping everything and starting from scratch?

You must flash the full firmware like was mentioned earlier. It is impossible to do the update with a modified system.

I'm wondering if there is a way to not take the update. I keep getting a nag message about installing the update and I keep pushing reminder out to a new time.
A little background. I have a XT1096 (Verizon version) and unlocked the bootloader and rooted. I also nuked a bunch of bloatware so there is no way that a OTA update will install. I'm not sure that I really want to go back to stock and start over.
I flashed the system .img file and it just updated my system without wiping anything. Seems to be working fine, but I had to reflash SuperSU.

I found a way to not take the update. Use your favorite applications manager for root to freeze MotorolaOTA and the update won't be downloaded and you won't get messages about installing the update.

You can just jump to c636b190.
You need to download the file and extract the dload folder which contains the update.app file. Place the folder in the home direction in your phone's internal storage and then go to Settings > Updater > Menu > Local update.
All languages are supported in all roms.
One thing I'd like to ask is if this rom (c636b190) is android v5.0.2 or not.. Because my phone came with that one installed and I liked it pretty well, then decided to go for Marshmallow but I was disappointed by it and then got my device softbricked. Luckily, I had TWRP installed and I flashed a custom ROM. Now i reflashed the stock Huawei recovery and via ADB sideload I ended up with the first, stock Lollipop firmware (5.0)
If you have any other questions, I am here to answer because I have good experience in installing updates and flashing roms.
I can't get the rollback to work at all because I want to go back to lollipop to root and unlock bootloader but the error I get is at about 4% after it verifies then fails PLEASE HELP and I'll give likes and stuff
