Two OTA's. First one is NK7 4.4.4. Second one is Lollipop. Downloading second one now. I will update on the status once it is downloaded and installed.
Edit: Took awhile but it's downloaded and installed. OA8 5.0 Lollipop.
Confirmed by Droid-life.com
Now patience for my note4 lol.

Wonder why the two updates...
awesome!
What would be the best method to get this update if you're on a custom rom. Odin back to stock and Ota or just wait for a downloadable zip?

Did I forget the at the end of my post again? Lighten up people, it's my opinion, everyone's got one!
I'm sure we're going to get oodles of people updating, then complaining when they can't use Xposed. Like in this thread, and the 5 others below it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-installer-lolipop-t3013726
I'm excited it's finally released, I think L is a much better OS. I'm excited to use it eventually!
Mine did the first update then says the second will be available soon.
I could go back to stock and check, but that's a lot of work.
Very Exciting News over here
Hi all!
Did some reading through the ODIN thread for the Verizon GS5. I'm still on 4.4.2, rooted, because I didn't see the benefit in just going to 4.4.4 and having to jump through hoops to keep root.
With 5.0 on the horizon here, I'm hoping people can shed some light on the update process, even if it means losing root. Currently when an OTA update is attempted, it downloads, goes into the stock bootloader, attempts to install, realizes that a "custom firmware" was attempted, and tells me the update failed. I just froze sdm 1.0 through Titanium and figured I would worry about it once Lollipop approached.
With that being said, is the only way to make the phone not read "custom" with the unlock symbol on boot to revert back to stock with Odin? Just planning to see if it's possible to keep data on the upgrade or if I'll essentially have to start from scratch.
Thanks!

Ok so two/three days ago i was on the stock rom ut then i wanted to change. I had an issue before with the updates so i kinda knew what to do all i did is to flash system.img and boot.img which i did. Then i rooted the device again and did all the process of returning my apps and all. I changed back to rom stock because all i wanted is to change kernel which i also did haha. So now im stock 4.4 with costume kernel. I thought it might be the costume kernel that mess it all up bu its not. When im trying to flash the 4.4.1/2 from the TWRP recovery it says failed.
If you installed a custom kernel you'll need to revert to the stock kernel to load the ota

If you were previously on 4.4.1+ and flashed 4.4 it's failing is because the OTA package is looking for the 4.4 radio.
My advice would be to flash system and boot images for 4.4.2 since they are now available. No need to flash the OTA.

The M8 is the first HTC phone I've had. I was a Motorola fan until they locked down their phones tight. I've S-Offed, rooted and bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed on my M8. I'm running a few mods through Xposed and have bloatware frozen with Titanium. I'm just curious if I need to S-on or relock the bootloader and flash the stock recovery to take the OTA? I've heard to wait for devs to get ahold of the update and check it out first but even then what preparations do I need to make? Would really appreciate the help guys. Thanks in advance.
In order to take the OTA you will pretty much have to go back to stock. I would wait until it drops and flash a custom version so you can keep all your tweaks.
If you WANT to accept the ota, I believe you will need stock ROM, stock kernel, and you will need stock recovery. Not sure about locked boot loader, but s off should be fine.
If you DONT want to accept the ota, flash a ROM like cleanrom with a custom recovery and hang tight until someone packages the firmware. For this you will need to use one of the two s off methods, firewater or sunshine s off
By that do you mean one that devs make flashable through custom recovery? Sorry I feel like a newb with this phone. Wish all manufacturers could just do things the same way. I definitely don't want to lose root or unlocked bootloader
Guess I'll just hang tight and see what other people are cooking up once the OTA drops

Yeah, I'm sure Scott will make a flashable zip of the stock rom. He's going to stock now to be able to pull files and such. Just wait it out till a flashable zip hits.
Will it be just like flashing on a Motorola? Flash from custom recovery and all my data settings stay just like if I took the OTA?

Just did an OTA update to B0C4, it updated 303 apps...no other info out there on it.
Curious how battery life is on this 'new' build.
Here's Verizon's PDF http://www.verizonwireless.com/dam/support/pdf/system_update/benefits-galaxy-s5-3-27-15.pdf Looks the same as the OA8 one except a different build number. Hopefully someone makes a rooted version similar to OA8 that we can use to upgrade too!
Can someone capture and post the update file for this OTA.
Edit: I captured the update.zip and will post it shortly.
Did upgrading let you keep root?

Upgrading will always kill root. Someone needs to capture the ota file so that myself or someone else can put together an update and keeproot method.

I simply let the update install as is. I thought that I would loose root but I figured I could get it back after a dev built a new kernel ODIN file for OC4. It turned out that root did not go away.

If you were already rooted you could flash an oe rom plus firmware only. BUT, if you were on that OTA update you couldn't downgrade to root. At least that's the way I think it works. I'm rooted and on og5. I did read though that with either the 5.1 update or marshmallow update that it requires you to update the bootloader, which means og5 is high as we can go and stay rooted. Unless something has changed.

Agreed, except that you can maintain the OD5 bootloader throughout, and still upgrade ROM further. I think? You keep the OD5 bootloader and only upgrade the ROM?
So, currently we stuck in Super Lollipop 5.0 (og5 will be last one, if next one is 5.1) by verizon's locked bootloader..
Anyone can go further, it really good for all of us.
I will be staying with og5 with bod5 bootloader unless someone comes up with a exploit again to root anything after bod5

Out of curiosity, when you food that what version were you on?
I had downgraded to ncg, plugged my phone into the computer and ran kies. It said I had an update (of course), to android 5.1. I got pretty excited until I read the details. It said it was og5. So kies says og5 is 5.1. Maybe Verizon update manager says same thing.

7X is already out, $200 on sale at Amazon right now. But it has almost identical specs to the 6X. I expect a year newer phone to be an upgrade, not a lateral move. Zuk2 came out June 2016 and doens't have LTE bands for US carriers. It had very little worldwide coverage with only a few obscure LTE bands. Great specs otherwise though.
