Software Upgrade - S4 GPE - Android 5.1 LMY470.S008

I just received a notification of a system update for my Galaxy S4 i337M (Bell) running Danvdh's Google Play Edition ROM. It states...
This software will upgrade your Samsung GS4 Google Play Edition to Android 5.1 ( LMY470.S008), which address the security vulnerability. To apply this update you must have at least 500MB free on your device

I googled around but have not seen any information regarding the S4 GPE receiving Android 5.1

I got this update as well. Curious to know if its authentic and if it will have any effect on my ROM if I install?

I just got this update, too. I actually have the GPE S4, but I'm using SamuraiHL's Lollipop image and I've rooted it to remap a hardware key and install a couple of root-only apps.
Assuming this is legit, which I'm guessing it is at this point, can I install it while I have root?
It seems like installing this on a non-GPE phone would be a bad idea, but I'd wait till a dev weighs in on that question.

I got this too on M-919 on Muniz_ri's gpe rom. I will upload the update..zip once I get some WiFi.

I wanted to ask about how to install this update . I clicked the Restart and Install button and it went to recovery. Do i have to flash the downloaded file? or is that it?

The stock recovery would have installed this automatically. I am not sure if the custom recoveries can do it.
AFAIK after you reboot it will still be the old rom and you might have to manually flash it.

Please upload when you get the chance

My s4 is currently stuck on the boot animation. I tried wiping the cache and then wiping data/factory reset and i still have the same problem. Been stuck for hours on the boot animation. Please upload the update so I can try reflashing. Thank you.

Or if someone can run aLogcat and view the actual link where they downloaded the OTA file. It should look something like the following:

I am sorry for the delay. I was leaving for work when this update hit. I will upload in a couple of hours at lunch time.
PS. Can someone recommend a good file host for this?

This happened to me last night too. The update took almost 30 minutes to apply, and then I was stuck on the flying dots after a reboot. Clearing cache and factory reset did nothing. I eventually resorted to digging up the previous stock image and dropping it back on via Odin. Let me know if a second attempt works for you. Tempted to move on to a custom rom, now that I'm fresh off of a factory reset.

GT-I9505G. S4 GPE purchased straight from Google a couple years ago. It had been running nothing but stock, OTA-delivered images until I had to reload last night, so I was really shocked to run into a soft brick with an OTA update.
I may have been running a bit close to the required 500MB free on my device prior to the upgrade. I didn't check, and I figured if I didn't have enough room, it would tell me.
I see on another thread that there's now an Odin-compatible image of the upgrade available, so I may give that a shot myself later, if I have the time. Worst case scenario is I have a repeat of last night, and another long morning of app synchronization.

Disclaimer: I didn't use the image from the forums here. I found it elsewhere, but due to my noob-ness, I can't post the external link. So... I haven't tried either of these, but I have to imagine the 5.0 image is exactly (more or less) what I put back on my phone last night.
5.0 Stock (equivalent to previous OTA image):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505g-develop/odin-5-0-0-i9505gueudnl3-restore-t2971638
5.1 Stock (equivalent to OTA-pushed image):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505g-develop/odin-5-1-i9505gueudoh2-restore-t3198093
Odin's interface is a little imposing, but really not difficult if you follow the directions to the letter.

OTA Update.zip link
Sorry for the delay. Here is the link to the update.zip
Sorry cannot post a link directly.
https: //www .dropbox .com /s/52724w0ui3ie4wb /LMY470.S008.zip?dl=0

Has anyone has any luck with the OTA working for them?
Before I go and flash this onto my M-919 (T-Mobile i9500/9505 I'm still not sure which hardware I have under the hood...) Thus I would really like to know if anyone has had any luck with this other than to have their device go into 'Spinning Dots Mode...'
Thanks in advance,
Jeff Means

Was able to reflash via odin the stock image on the i9505g xda thread. I am now running 5.1 on my s4 GPE.

Same Boat
Hey,
I'm in the same situation, but have not proceeded with the install.
Is it recommended to install the update? Or do I wait for the ROM to provide an update (which would presumably perform the same update)?
Thanks.

Failed Update
I tried to do the update by dropping the zip file on my sd card and installing from TWR but the installed failed right away. It looks like I'll just be ignoring this system notification 20 times a day for a while

I just uploaded the upload.zip yesterday. I will experiment with it tonight to try and get it to a working rom since this is my daily driver.
I will post a guide if I manage to get it working for me.

I also receive an error when updating with the OTA update. Also the one uploaded here didn't help.
The error message I receive is "/system/bin/ddexe" has unexpected contents E: Error in /cache/update.zip (Status 7).
Does anyone have any suggestions? Would using ODIN maybe solve the problem?
http: //s16.postimg.org/sns0y03qd/IMG_20150911_225016.jpg

I also have this update nag since yesterday, im running Kangapop V. 2.5 so i have yet to even try installing this.
But also phone keeps saying the "Restart" as it will automatically install? Is this true? Dont want to brick this phone if it can be avoided.
Thanks

Your internal storage is probably corrupted.
1. If you can access the sdcard in TWRP, backup your data first.
2. See if you can format the system partition in TWRP.
If yes, do a factory reset and flash ROM again.
If no, you need the PIT file.
You didn't mention your model. You might need the particular PIT file to repartition.
If someone have the PIT for tab-plus, please post it. Otherwise, you have to flash the oldest HC3.2 ROM with Odin first, then TWRP and ROM again.
Next time, don't forget the detail
Good luck!

What version of TWRP? Are you in old version or wrong version? Latest is 2.8.7.1.
Sometimes we easily overlook something. A photo worth a thousand word. I would say you must have missing or overlook something.
Flashing is straight forward, nothing special. With what you provided, I don't think I can help. Sorry.

Dump the log of TWRP might have more info.
It might be a bad download of Rom. Test if you can open it and see the content. Or better check the md5 for the file.
If the md5 checksum is correct, try flashing rom only without gapps first.
Good luck

I may be asking too much, but is there any chance that you include p6210 in testing as well?

Dear Daniel,
Thanks for this great job of yours.
I reported my P6200 issue, i already do the instruction without any error.
But with a result:
1. SIM Card undetected
2. Back camera will have a green line in the left
3. Baseband version in About Tablet is "Unknown"
Is any solution?
Big Thanks.

I've checked your log. It might require a rebuild. Just be patient and wait for the next build.
I was thinking to release CM next but Omni is much more stable. I'll release the latest Omni first. It'll be ready in a few days.
I just checked the Gapps (Delta 1114-1) too. Some default permissions are OFF which cause Setup Wizard to crash. I went to Settings via QS turning them ON and everything seems fine now. It is quite slow via VPN but I can setup google accounts and downloading with Play. No problem with Youtube too.
Gapps service occasionally crash. It happens since they were pulling from other device (Nexus 6, I think) with different resolution.
In that case, I might consider making my own Gapps later.
P.S. If possible, don't use Google drive. I can't access it directly. Just attach the text file (or zipped) in the post would be better.

Thanks again very much for the quick response. I'll be patient and wait for the next build. You are doing such a great work!:victory:
PS: I did not realize that I also can upload txt files here (thought it was for pictures only ).

Rebooting problem

I have a Galaxy s7 930f, it always rebooting every day or second day one time, I made a original firmware install with odin, but it did not help me.
Anybody has a advice.
I tried it with original apps, I did not install any other apps.
It rooted but it is does not matter, it is rebooting with root or without root.
How can I find out what is the problem?

Hi mate
Maybe something went wrong during rooting , did you reflash your stock firmware again (odin)?

Yes I did it, 4 times, 3 different firmware. I mean tried with btu united kingdom , dbt germany , zto brazil, not helped.

when that started to happen? from beginning , after rooting....... do you install any apps after flashing with odin? try flashing with odin and not installing anything else and leave it for a day or two to see how it behaves, just to discard if is app related

I did it, I made a clean install with odin, I did not install any apps, but it is rebooting. So I don't know it is rebooting after rooting, or before, because I was rooting immediately when I got it.

Try flashing stock ROM again with Odin, then factory reset from recovery and don't root. See if you still have problems.
EDIT: Sorry, I misread your first post. I would take it back to Samsung, if it happens on a completely stock phone, something hardware-related may be the culprit.

I did it yesterday, so right now I'm waiting and hope no reboot again.

My stock phone made me mad by rebooting randomly, did a 4-part Odin flash + pit file now. Hope it helps. Before I deleted my accounts from the phone and enabled oem load in developer options. Don't know how to flash a stock Rom any cleaner. Really hoping the damn phone is cured now.

Im experiencing the random reboots and freezes as well but more frequently. Maybe 4 to 8 times a day if phone is used.
On custom, stock, rooted and unrooted. .
Just got the phone 3 days ago ?
Im currently trying out an older firmware but still no luck. Just had another reboot by using android beam.

Phone : Samsung s7 G930F
Android: MM 6.0.1
Common triggers ive seen so far
1. Connecting phone to pc and start a file transfer
2. App update or install
3. File transfer from phone to another phone as in the case of Android beam.
But there is still some other random unexplained occurrences.
Phone freezing up I dont know why it does this or what triggers it.

As I was still suffering from those nasty random freezes Samsung changed the Mainboard on warranty.. Now everything is fine. Monday device

New MM Firmware N915FYXXS1DPG1. Does it solve any known issues?

Hi,
there is a new release of MM 6.01 -firmware available, from July 27th.
Has anyboy checked it? Are any wellknown issues solved (i.e. fingerprint/backup password request, random reboots)?
Thnx for any info.
Chris

I'd also like know what this update is doing. ...

I have installed it via odin yesterday, no wipe, just cleared cache after installation. All settings kept as they were. Up to now very snappy, no reboots, no backup-password-entry requested (only after manual restart, of course). So, if it stays that way it seems that the bugs have been removed. Keep fingers crossed.

I'm just downloading the same firmware....will install later (dirty install) and give my feed back here.....

After a day there was no soft reboot. For me usually in Messages happened when i wrote a new one, until now there was no event
I hope we can forget that finally, i really liked fingerprint until the issue...
edit: i updated via OTA, no wipe etc.

Hi, Can anyone deodex and debloat this stock rom DPG1 please?

Installed N915FYXXUDPE1 (N915FYXXU1DPE1_N915FYOXA1DPD1_N915FYXXU1DPC3_HOME.tar.md5) the phone is noticeably faster and no soft reboots / password requested (unless on hard reboot) much better!
I did a dirty flash then reinstalled custom recovery (TWRP), re-rooted and xposed....

How did you install? OTA? Wipes?
Where did you come from?
I was on 5.1.1 and flashed dirty via Odin, just wiped cache, and until now no single reboot, night clock is working, very fast response, no lags, no signal drops. Feels like a new phone.

Okay Dirty Flashed N915FYXXS1DPG1_N915FYOXA1DPD1_N915FYXXU1DPC3_HOME.tar (Which I believe is the most recent!)
Wiped cache/Dalvik, re-rooted and Xposed with Nova Launcher.
Did not loose any information or settings (phew)
Certainly faster, no reboots......fingers crossed....also a bit quicker on AnTuTu 68372...
Will keep updated over the next few days

confirmed

i confirm that. Happened only once until now. After a call it soft reboots.
But i can live with that if happens very rarely, in past it was very frequent... Otherwise the phone is really smoother, battery is also better a bit. So i am happy...

But, again, please let us know how you flashed it, cause could make the difference. So, OTA or Odin, wipes, where did you come from?
I am on it since four days now, my phone runs through, no reboots or whatever. I came from 5.1.1 stock, no root. Flashed via Odin, just wiped cache. Feels like a new phone.

I've already did. On page 1 i wrote: OTA with no reset. Only deleted some unnecessary apps and clear cache.

It was going so well..... In 8hrs had one soft reboots (typical as it was when I was driving) ... Phone is definitely faster and runs cooler.....
May be worth noting that I do use lots of features, 5 email accounts (1 exchange), Bluetooth (Various paired devices), stream music via Google play....
I will see if there is any correlation between reboots...

How did you install? OTA? Wipes?

You see, I've been on MM several times, the reboots made the phone unusable. Then I made a full wipe, got back to 5.1.1, and then flashed directly to the new rom. I suspect that coming from an older MM-rom, the buggy ones, and flashing just dirty the new firmware may leave some buggy files unchanged. So when you came from MM and have problems now with the DPG1, it could be helpful to go my way. That was the reason I've asked you where you came from, which wasn't answered. Give it a try.

Okay....Phone did a soft reboot this morning, whilst I was starting the Car, IE it connected to Bluetooth, then as I started the car it soft rebooted.....I am thinking that this issue may be to do with WIFI/BLUETOOTH connection/handover only a thought..

I received an update last night

So I got an update last night on my J7 2016 with MetroPCS. I wanna update it, but I'm rooted and don't wanna screw anything up. Should I take the update, or hold off? Thanks in advance

It is nothing important, as samsung says, overall improvement, what is bothering me is how did you get that update since you are rooted

I also received this update yesterday. I spoke with T-Mobile. They told me it was an update from Google. They also told me that I was one of the few customers out of the thousands to receive it. It was not in their system they had to update it themselves. Still kinda sketchy.

I have no clue. The same thing happened twice when I had my LG G Stylo with the same company. It's kinda weird. I guess I'll just hold off on the update until further notice. Thanks though

It was from one of them though, so I guess I can trust it somewhat, but I don't wanna update it with a risk of screwing this phone up. I guess I can hold off for a bit

Yeah, this update bricked my device. SM-J700T.
Accidentally allowed it when clearing the annoying notification while watching youtube. Failed to flash properly. Somehow flashed a new sboot.img still. Tried to reinitialize with smart switch, but its still only listing apk6, and the update managed to only flash the sboot.img from AQC3, so i cant go back to APK6.
I tried as well with the AP from sammobile, and now have unknown baseband and invalid imei. Well, I'm 6 days away from my jump anyways, but I'd rather stick with this phone a while longer.
Any thoughts or advice? It boots, and it shows apk6 for build.
Hell, If any of you have the update.zip, I might be able to fix it still. I pulled the update from cache I thought, but it seems to be corrupt. Hell, maybe that was the problem? Maybe I can pop the update on sd (if anyone has it and would be willing to share?) and use stock recovery to flash it, and see what happens?
Thanks for any input.
EDIT: I have a friend with the same device, who was unrooted and on the new update. He wanted his rooted anyways, so I installed twrp, and used it to pull a backup of the system image, the radio image, the cache image, and used those to restore my phone. All is good. We're both on the last update, rooted and feelin good.
