I was on MF3, I figured it out now. I had to Odin back to MF3 stock because I had deleted some ATT crap apps so it was causing the system to be modified. After that I just updated with this no problem

| ★GUIDE★HOW★TO★ | ★UPDATE★ | ★Dec.30.2013★ |
In order for me to help u ....i need to know from which part that u don't understand.....as per XDA rules u need to READ before posting ....... STOCK phone is always recommended ......let's start with the easier way:
1. Put update.zip in your Sd Card
2. Reboot phone to recovery by power off your phone. Use combo Button ( VolUp+Home key+Power button) hold them together and when u feel vibration let go power button while still holding VolUP and Home key .....and then u would see samsung galaxy S4 black splash screen and small tiny reboot recovery..... on top left and u can let go both Vol Up and Home key......that's should bring u to android stock recovery.
3. choose apply update from external sd card.......yes to confirm ...... and reboot system when is done or it might reboot automatic.....Woollaa.....now u have 4.3 android MK2 firmware
But If doesn't work you need do these following in order for u to do adb sideload command:
4. U need Samsung USB driver install to your PC ......Install SAMSUNG KIES and plug your phone, it will install latest driver for your phone
5. Make sure u unable USB debugging mode on ur phone.....go to menu>settings>more> it should be on top of about device
( Developer options ) but if u dont have it go to about device and click build number 4/5 time....so that will unable developer options and CHECK USB DEBUGGING.
6. Make sure u have latest ADB ( Android Debugging Bridge ) version 1.0.31.... ANDROID SDK
7. Reboot to recovery>Apply Update From ADB....
8. Go to your PC>>>ADB folder>Shift+Right Click>Open Command Window Here
Code:
[B][COLOR="Red"]adb devices[/COLOR][/B]
Code:
[B][COLOR="Red"]adb sideload update.zip[/COLOR][/B]
Well u might already knew all these step.......and hopefully this will get u to start.... if not, please PM me if u need anymore help.....

FOLLOW THE GUIDE FROM gtj0 THAT I EDITED BELOW, PLEASE USE MF3>MK2 UPDATE.ZIP FROM OP IF U BRICKED FROM MK2 TO GET BACK TO STOCK MK2 AND PLEASE DONT FORGET THANK HIM ALSO....
gtj0 said:
OK, If you're stuck with an incomplete flash, here are some steps you can try to get to MJ9...
These instructions assume you started with MJ6.
First, make sure you can boot into recovery. If not, download and apply the MJ6 recovery.
recovery-mj6.tar.md5
It should apply without error. If not, report the failure.
Download and extract the following files...
mf3-emergency-part-1.tar.md5.7z .....>>>>>MIRROR<<<<<.....
mf3-emergency-part-2.tar.md5.7z .....>>>>>MIRROR<<<<<.....
If you don't already have it, download the mf3-mj9 update file...
update-mf3-mj9.zip
Start Odin, connect your phone and boot into Download mode.
Flash mf3-emergency-part-1.tar.md5 which contains modem.bin, NON-HLOS.bin and system.img.ext4.
The flash of system.img.ext4 WILL FAIL at the end. That's OK.
Force Reboot the phone back into Download mode (Voldown+Home+Power) and restart Odin.
Flash mf3-emergency-part-2.tar.md5 which contains cache.img.ext4.
The flash WILL FAIL at the end. That's OK.
Force Reboot the phone back into Download mode (Voldown+Home+Power) and restart Odin.
The phone should now reboot to a black screen with the pulsing notification LED.U need to install recovery-mj6.tar.md5 or i337MK2stockRecovery.tar.md5 (also confirmed work with some users) via ODIN first if u stuck between step 6 and 7 since u are on DOWNLOADING MODE....and then force reboot to get u back to recovery if u coming from MK2 by using combo button (VolUp+Home+Power) or use this Odin Force Reboot .tar File to reboot
Reboot into recovery mode and choose apply update via adb and open your adb command from computer and use MF3>MK2 update zip files from OP .....HOPE THIS HELP......
Code:
adb sideload update.zip
I recommend sideloading instead of flashing from sdcard because the sdcard method reboots the phone whether the update was successful or not and you lose the error messages.
Reboot the phone and let it initialize.
You should now have MK2. and last step is to Hit THANK button......

FOR >>>>>MK2 FULL ODIN FILES<<<<<
Downloading the file seems to be the whole 728MB Rom file and not just the small file to update from MJ9 to MK2, so I'd love to know if you know if this will just update after flashed or if it wipes all your data, I just created a new thread asking for something like this and explaining why I don't want to wipe and just prefer to Update.
If someone can confirm if flashing this will just update without wiping I'd appreciate it, thanks in advance.

I definitely remember the official MK2 OTA from at&t was over 700MB when I got it, so the size seems right. Plus full TW Roms are usually >1GB anyway.
adb sideload and it should just update and not wipe, but can't confirm this myself - already on mk2.

OK, I'm just saying that the Full MK2 that I downloaded a couple of weeks ago, the one to update from 4.2.2 to MK2 skipping MJ9 was that size, and I've read that the OTA update for the people already on MJ9 was 25 or 28MB, just a small update.

I think you're right, the MJ9 to MK2 was a small one but didn't you say you're on MF3 now? So this would be the file you need to get to MK2. And I'm almost positive this won't wipe data if you adb sideload, googling seems to confirm.

Problem is that I'm not root now, to be honest, this is a phone that is paid by my Company and I wasn't suppose to do anything with it, so when I decided to jump from 4.2.2 to 4.3 I knew that it was going to cost me the Root, but I decided that I needed to do it anyways, so for now, until further notice, I won't root.
So as you can see my phone is completely Stock, and I'm still getting the Software Interrupted error every time I try to update via OTA, so I don't see any other option but to try to sideload this update, problem is that without Titanium Backup, I will lose all my Data and I'm not willing to go though all the pain to restore all of it from scratch. So my mind is set just to do what I need to just Update without wiping.
So, if anybody try this, please, can you let us know here if you lose your data or if it just updates. Thanks a lot.

OK Just to satisfy my curiosity, I downloaded the whole file again, and try to sideload it on my MJ9 phone and it immediately error out, this file seems to be the same than the other one in the other thread, it will work only only if you are on 4.2.2. So for me and anybody else trying to update from 4.3 MJ9 to MK2, it's still a no go.

You could try updating through Kies...sometimes that's more reliable than OTA connections.

If I'm not mistaken. ... when u go to stock recovery..... the is an option for update via adb.....or something like that and u should be able to install update. Zip from there.. the only thing is I'm not sure if that would wipe your data or not but from adb sideload custom recovery it only wipe cache and dalvik cache as far I know. ...

Yes, that's what it's called sideload and that's what I tried earlier but like I mentioned then, it errors out immediately, and at least you can see that it's clearly asking for 4.2.2.
One more thing, I just hanged up with AT&T, the Technical Support checked everything there and it seems that everything should be in place for me to get the update, they did something and asked me to try it again, as soon as I enter the Update Menu I saw a message saying something like DZ initialization, I have seen that just before we get the OTA, so I asked her and she told me that it was because of what she did, so I should be good to get any update available, and as soon as I tried it I got the same old Software Update Interrupted.
She told me that they will call me tomorrow with other more advanced technical Department to try to see what may be causing this.
I'll give them a quick look over, but I wouldn't jump on the bandwagon using these until somebody more versed then me confirms it's legit.
They look legit, but it's for normal recovery mode not Odin in case anyone was trying to do that.

Yeah your right, I'm not thinking properly... kept forgetting these are the update files, not restore files. Though I assume they could be turned into Odin files given the right person.
For those of you with my same issue, updated to mj9 and getting errors while trying to update to Mk2, . Please follow my other thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573637 and look for the link on post #3, finally found the update file and I'm already at MK2.

I was supposed to be part of the soak but for some reason my phone is invisible to the Moto update servers and they cannot push the update to me. I have the update file someone gave me a link to download. I have two questions about how to install it.
1. Since I am rooted can I just put it where Moto would have downloaded it to and then my phone will update it like it got the OTA?
or
2. If I install it off the SD card will it just do recovery first and then display injured android man, and then have to reselect the zip package again to finish instlling the update?
I would prefer method 1 if possible. If one of the devs or a knowledgeable person could respond I would appreciate it. I'll give Moto about six more hours to get this straightened out, otherwise I am tired of waiting to get my Atrix 2 onto ICS.
Hi. I don't suppose the end result would be different, whatever method you choose.

Where does moto put the zip file so I can try putting it where the OTA would have downloaded to? Then when I go to check for update it should say an update is ready for installing. Do they put it in the cache directory? Someone who knows please let me know. Thanks.

AFAICT this seems true, you I could run a leak#2/soak based ROM as a second system (first system too?) with boot menu manager by following the guides:

Yes, it is /cache... but I think you also need the .crc file of the same name along with the actual .zip - not positive though. And, it can take a little while for it to recognize it - but I have done it that way, by putting it in the cache folder - also, it will disappear if you reboot.
But, you do know what you are doing, right? There is no fxz yet...
---------- Post added at 08:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 AM ----------
Edit.. since it's the same files as leak#2.. for the .crc file, you could just make your own if you don't have it:
-Just create a new blank file with notepad++
-Add this as the first and only line (no blank lines after)
Code:
3114145323
-Then, save it as Blur_Version.55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US.crc

Yes, I know what I am doing. I used to develop roms for LG P999 but have not played around with my Atrix much. LG does their OTA updates very differently and downloads them in pieces all over the place so no way to use the method I am suggesting for the Atrix. I don't care about being able to fxz back as I just want the phone on official ICS; but I do appreciate your caveat. Thanks for the reply.
If anyone has the .crc file please upload somewhere so I can grab it. Thanks.

Thanks. I will give them a few hours to get to work and see if my phone is visible to the update servers now that I have done an FDR as they requested. If so, I will just let the OTA do its thing. If not I will manually update my phone.
Also I do not think you can be rooted to update the check will prevent you from updating, also you have to be as close as stock as you can..... Meaning all bloat must be unfroze.....
One more note there is a Q&A section now so try to post questions there.....

Could the fact that you're not in the US, are now unlocked and on another network have something with failure to get the OTA!?
You can be rooted. The update asserts only check for the original system files to make sure they have not been modified or deleted. It does not check for extra files like superuser.apk or busybox. Rooting is not a problem. I set superuser to OTA protect and it worked. After the update my ICS was still rooted without me having to root it.
For the person that wants the leak the OTA is leak # 2. It is exactly the same. Just find thread with download link for leak # 2 and you are good to go.
Would installing beats audio drivers using the app be considered tampering with system files? And would it prevent me from receiving a ota?

Sorrry but what mean FDR? because I'm in that situation: Im not in US and I have the phone unlocked, and I'm using it with other operator... Is just ended the soak test?... because the phone say me "Your phone is updated, Is not required a update in this moment" (Translated from Spanish) when I look in Settings -> About the phone -> Update, and I'm have the system version 55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US.

You have to be someone that was invited and filled out a survey about six weeks ago. If you are you need to go to the Motorola Private forum. Go see how others are requesting it (not allowed to really talk about it). FDR means Factory Data Reset and it is an option in Privacy in Settings. It erases all your user settings, app data and you are back to square one like when the phone came out of the box. For many people it was required to get what they wanted.
If you were not invited don't worry. Usually the official rollout of the OTA will come within a week of a soak test if no problems are found. It is the same as leak # 2 so just look on this forum and you can install that manually. The release is solid so I see no reason the OTA won't be going live to all AT&T Atrix 2 devices very soon.

I hated doing it but it was necessary for some reason. Before it my phone was invisible to the update servers. After it was and I got a push notification to begin the download. Loving ICS.
Currently designed for the Wifi version only. Alternates available upon request.
This package includes the de-odexed system and framework folder based on a wifi model.
This is NOT a full install, so do NOT wipe before using.
This package is designed to be used with the custom recovery image. This will NOT work with Odin.
This will delete the current system and framework folders and flash the new ones in their place. This is only a temporary solution until a full rooted install is established.

Request!
My Verizon GC120 should be here in a couple of days. As far as I know it is untouched stock. Let me know the commands to pull the files you need for this and the other dev work you are doing.
Thank you for taking the time to do the work! We all appreciate it!
Finally received a GC120 camera I can do something with. Attached are the .img files pulled. About says my phone is on 4.1.2 (LK3) but I keep getting an install update request although the folder titled as the update in /cache is empty (so there's nothing I can pull from that).
I also pulled the modem.bin but it says invalid file when I try to upload.
*These are the files for LK3
Camera updated to LL2. Updated files attached.
MC4 files attached
So maybe I screwed myself updating all the way to MK4 update. Can't root using framaroot now like I did with all the others. Gonna try a few other options.
Can someone please tell me the adb command to find whether a bootloader is locked or not? I have tried several I've found online and don't receive anything conclusive. Thanks.
Be back in a week or so. Final project is in the beta test stage so I am swamped until it reaches the release candidate.

? It wasn't part of the system image and you didn't specify which model but even so, I doubt people are randomly checking this thread for who needs backups of radio partitions.
Its a EK-GC100 bootloader mode says EK-GC100_EUR_XX

I dug through everything I have but no efs.img and if I remember right, you'd need one with your IMEI. Best bet is probably a factory reset.
Didn't help... tried factory reset with stock recovery and cwm recovery... nothing helps... i don't know a way to get it fixed... will keep looking...
Finally got it fixed. As GC100 is similar to S3, downloaded efs file for S3 flashed it via odin through bootloader and voila... attaching the file for reference if anyone else gets into trouble!

Hi guys,
Just like other people I have also rooted my Note 3 and flagged/tripped the KNOX counter...
The issue first appeared when I was trying to upgrade from Android OS, v4.3 (Jelly Bean) to v4.4.2 (KitKat). The update notification popped, it took roughly 40 minutes to download the firmware and I was then prompted to install. The device then restarted automatically as usual and I received the "Failure to update" window. I have tried couple of times more in case something went wrong with the download but it didn't help. So I had to install the update manually from SamMobile, using Odin and wiping my phone data. Everything went well and I am now enjoying the KitKat version.
Today it seems a new update appeared around 26 MB and I am facing the same issue. After I download the update and hit install, the device will restart and then show the "Failure to update" window.
Is there any way to fix this? Does it mean I can never install the updates automatically?
Please advise and thanks in advance.

Oke, well you can`t install official updates when you are rooted (modified the system)! I suggest you download Mobile Odin Pro from Play and flash the whole new rom from www.sammobile.com and keep root.

Right, so I can just receive the updates but not install them! that's convenient
Do I have to wipe everything again or just install the latest update? Because if I have to wipe everything each time there's an update, I may just cancel the whole update thing until there's something like a major update

You don`t have to wipe as the updates atm are mostly bugfixes. Only wipe cache and dalvik cache after the flash.

Okay I think I got it, so each time there's an update I must download the whole ROM and flash it on top of the current? Since it's the same, it only updates the files that are needed while keeping the rest of the system intact.

You`re welcome bro
**You can begin the following process from any Build/ROM but you must already have Root Access**
**Required** FlashFire - Play BETA - PREVIEW
1. Join the G+ community using the same Google account as you're using for Play on your phone/tablet Here.
2. Sign up to receive the BETA versions from Play Here.
- Use the link provided after sign-up to download the app.
**Caution!** The following process is only for the G900V Verizon S5 variant. Use on any other device may result in a hardbrick!
Download:
- G900V_OC4_Stock_Rooted_ROM
- G900V_OC4_Stock_DeOdexed_ROM
Set your screen timeout setting to 10 mins before beginning!
1. Place the ROM onto your device (use either internal or ext-sdcard).
2. Open the FlashFire app and "Agree" to the Terms and Conditions.
3. Press "(+)" twice to bring up the "Actions" menu.
4. Select "Flash Zip or OTA" and locate and select the ROM. Leave "Auto-mount" unchecked under the "Options" menu and press the checkmark to continue.
5. From the main menu Uncheck all options under "EverRoot" and use default "Reboot" setting.
6. Last, press the lightning bolt then "Ok" to begin the flash .
The screen will turn black then display the contents of your system before beginning the flash. FlashFire will pause for about 1 minute while flashing the "system" partition. Once complete your device will reboot and pause on the Verizon splash screen for 1 - 2 minutes (10 - 15 mins for DeOdexed version) before completely rebooting. Done!
Tip: for blazing fast speed turn off animations from Developer Options and reboot!
Known Issues:
- None!
Optional - Enable Native Tethering:
- G900V_OC4_TetherAddOn (Flash using FlashFire's "Flash zip or ota" option).
Notes:
1. The above process will not affect your Knox Warranty Flag.
2. The process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, Stock Recovery, and Bootloader to OC4.
3. No need to wipe prior to flashing, the ROM will automatically perform a factory data reset. If you prefer not to wipe User Data replace the Updater-Script in the ROM's META-INF/com/google/android folder with the version attached to this post (remove ".txt" extension before placing in folder). Bear in mind that carrying over incompatible User Data from a prior Android version may cause issues.
4. If you do not already have root access (or to unbrick) you must flash the G900VVRU1ANCG_Full_Odin.tar (flash in Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+)), root with Towelroot (this version does not require internet access), then proceed with the above process.
5. To learn more about FlashFire's capabilities on locked bootloader devices see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60070810&postcount=2

Let's just say the initial 5.0 release had a few bugs. Let's hope this release works better.
Thanks. I did your previous update with this method, and it worked great. Can you give the steps that are needed to get to where you need to be to now install this update? I think I know, but I'm not sure. Also, what about apps and settings? It does not seem they are preserved. It looks like the previous write up has been edited and no longer includes these steps. I had no problems with this part. Is it still an option to do that? Thanks for the awesome work!
update
So this will work fine updating if on rooted 0A8?
I would assume we could do a data backup, then restore data after flashing is done
So there's no need to flash a firmware or kernel in Odin after flashing the rom? Are we still going to be on 0A8 baseband? Or should we flash the OC4 kernel?

Only recommended if your Data backup is from 5.0. Those updating from 4.4 should not restore Data for compatibility reasons.

No worries, good luck with SS.
Also fyi.....there is a guy in the N900V forum that has developed a safestrap replacement called multisystem. He is waiting for 5.0 before releasing and claims it will work on 5.0. If so, it can likely be easily ported to the S5.
Got it. I did see that. I guess it is just that simple. I thought there might be a little more detail needed, but I will give it a shot. Hopefully safestrap comes to lollipop one day to make it a little easier!

After flashing the ROM you can just reboot, no need to re-flash the OC4 kernel since the new ROM already flashed it.
Does anyone know if the Alarm clock works on silent now? I think they got rid of the interruption settings did they not?
I have run into a problem i can't figure out. When i try to run safestrap it just wont boot into it when i boot from the app. Have tried it many times. Thinking back wasn't safestrap broken when you are on 5.0? I went from kit kat, rooted and did the keep root tutorial to have it in 5.0. Not really sure what to do.

Ty. I'm not new to flashing but i was just wondering what the hell i was doing that it wouldn't boot. Appreciate it.
Hey everyone, I managed to download the OTA update bin file from FOTA server for the S8 Unlocked (US Version). If anyone is interested in testing and post the update I will leave the link to the OTA bin file. I am actually working on it as well. I am assuming it should be flashable as long as you have latest Nougat 7.0 for the unlocked S8 or if you have installed Unlocked firmware in your Carrier branded Galaxy S8. I will be doing some test as well but I need some rest before I start working on it again. Will keep you all posted and hope some of you guys would like to do some test with it. I am pretty sure we will figure out how to flash it.
As far as I know from last year you could flash update.zip file which was extracted from the Verizon S7 Edge. Since its unlocked firmware/OTA file I would assume it will be doable.
Normally you will have to keep the file in your sdCard and go to recovery mode and apply update from SD card but we will definitely have to do some testing if that doesn't work out.
Link for the OTA update bin file: https://mega.nz/#F!k6IjlJoC!VJJ3gyVaF8ofphE1fZvD8A
EDIT: found a way to download whole firmware will post sometime after midnight once I get off from work.
we cant flash .bin files. Doesnt work. We already tried.
thank you! I would love to know how to flash this if possible?

1 possible way might be to extract the content of bin with 7zip. then compress it with 7zip as a zip file. name it the same name. put on sdcard and reboot to recovery. then apply update from sdcard and prey to what ever god you like that it works.
trying to help.

Nope is not working there are two errors 1st is e.footer is wrong and 2nd is signature verification failed
If someone has a Snapdragon S8 with bootloader unlocked and TWRP, maybe you can sideload it by disabling signature verification?
When flashing updates via stock recovery create a folder call FOTA in SD card and place file there rename it update.zip just make sure you don't end up with update.zip.zip

Yup I saw it just went live. I reverted back to Nougat and was trying to get the OTA update.zip file. And noticed that it just went live. For some reason it did not detect that I was already registered and asked me to registered again. I wonder if everyone who did it by bypassing server has to register again to claim their actual spot for later updates.

Don't know and don't care. It's downloading officially now brother and I'm a happy camper lol once it download I will do factory reset and have it fresh
Does anyone know if we can use SamPWND root method but without clearing cache? I am assuming I can do that by not flashing CSC which contains the cache partition.
I am trying to grab update.zip from cache partition.
Turns out my assumption of update.zip file being stored in /cache were wrong its actually stored in /data/fota folder. I guess we are out of luck here. I was thinking what is that converts .bin file to .zip file instantly after downloading onto Galaxy S8. I don't see any other way beside renaming and adding signature (though it already has the signature from Samsung.

Well I have a question for you brother.
I just officially download and installed it. But wanted to do a fresh start basically a factory reset and download everything from scratch. If I do the factory reset would it kick me out of beta and take me back to 7.0 or just take me back to 7.0 or will start with 8.0?
