System upgrades - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm pretty new but I wanna know how can we upgrade to 4.4.3 if we are rooted? Obviously OTA is out of the question

Well there's a few ways. You can go back to comepletely stock and accept the OTA or wait until someone puts out a 4.4.3 build.

They haven't even released 4.4.3 for our device yet, have they?

Follow section 6.
or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867253
Or...
If you are looking the HE update why not just go with CleanRom 3.0. It is based off of the new HE update and is about 95% stock. The plus side is that most of the garbage (VZW bloat) is removed. It is MUCH faster and very stable.

If you haven't set everything back up again, you can clear data from Google Services Framework and try to "force" the update.

I saw somewhere here that if you're on HD then it won't update since that wasn't an official update. Idk how much truth there was to that. Have you tried updating by using the G7 OTA first?

T mobile S4 getting software update.

Saw a thread on the TMobile forum that they are getting an OTA software update starting today.
Does this mean that one may be coming to ATT S4 soon?

Sadly, no... we will get our update once the Verizon version is out. But reading that the lag was fixed is great so I'm pretty delighted about that.

Haven't heard of any OTA that doesn't remove root hahaha, none the less you can still reroot with motochopper, it's just a performance update, not security.
I thought we not should do any updates until the bootloader is unlocked since it may change the unlocking parameters. My concern is we have to watch out that we don't update and lose the unlocking capability.

Stock with root now what?

so I am still on the stock rom I never flashed a new rom be4 on this s5
I don't mind the stock rom but have some questions.
I am being prompted for 2 updates!
1 is the software update
2 is the security policy update
what happens if I accept them? will I loose root?
& what should i do and if so could I remove the nag?

If you accept the updates and if it goes through, yes, you would lose the root.
Are you sure you are completely rooted? Because you shouldn't be receiving those update notifications if you are.

Yes! Sorry for that. I did some research & if you update you will lose root provided you are using the stock recovery & bootloader. If u are using a different one,ur phone might not boot after updating. If you are using a stock bootloader I suggest u update,lose root & root again

Yes, you will lose root for sure because that's what happened to my friend. However, after update I re-rooted for him. I know it's tedious but that's what you have to go through.
Or u can download the ota file in zip format & flash using recovery. It'll work as long as you are using stock ROM with no modifications. & most likely you won't lose root

I don't think so. After update the phone might not boot & keep going into recovery. I suggest u flash stock recovery & then update & fish twrp again. Or you could try your luck and update & let's see what happens.

Yeah, I'm curious. Best to wait. I bet they patched Bump.

Cool! How does it run compared to 10d? Can you install bumped twrp? Root? I imagine it's possible AT&T included aspects from later builds, so theoretically you could get a decent jump in performance if they have.

No I was stock, I can't find any changes so I would bet it's (security fixes) for root and bump.

Tried talking to AT&T to see what the update brings, they said that they couldn't see an update available, they tried looking for it for a while. But they did confirm Lollipop is coming in 1 to 2 months.

@thecubed did say that the 5.0/L update patched bump. Per this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56646539&postcount=356
I wouldn't be surprised if it's patched up here as well.
Not sure what this update is, but i'll personally be skipping it.

No doubt. They could have pulled a Samsung trick (I'm thinking the4.3 update that prevented downgrading)

Yeah the only thing is. This isn't Android L. It's a 4.4.2 incremental update. My guess is they caught on to bump. But as someone has said we can downgrade with the flash tool right now. But that might not be the case when lollipop is deployed.

since I know we can downgrade and re-root, I just took it and I'll use it for a while before reporting back in a few hours.
Does anyone know how to pull the zip from my device or the download URL so we can get a copy to pass around?

Newest stock OTA zip inside, will someone root it for us?

OTA file to bring the m8 on Verizon up to 4.17.605.9 and patch stage fright exploit.
