OTA for 4.4.4

nice time for androidfilehost to be unreachable... i did post the firmware up. RUU and OTApkg.zip are ready for upload.
FYI guys/gals.. there's a new hboot on this one too.
Edit..uploading now

I am unlocked and rooted but the download from verizon automatically started. It did nothing after it was done downloading. I dont know what to expect of this?? I am on viper rom 2.5.

Here's the link folks

You can just use the 4.4.3 ruu and do the OTA, then your firmware is done all in 1 shot

can someone upload a 4.4.4 system dump? or point me to one if someone has already? thanks!

I have looked around and found all kinds of different answers so can someone here help me out a bit?
I got the phone when it first came out, have S-OFF, root, TWRP custom recovery but have version 4.4.2 still installed with everything being left pretty much stock. I would prefer to keep things pretty much stock so what would I need to do to update to 4.4.4? Do I need to get 4.4.3 first? Do I need to flash stock recovery first before doing anything? Anything with firmware or radios?

well, this is my idea for you
1. Flash the stock 4.4.2 recovery over the TWRP, then just do the OTA's

Reasonable enough, sorry if this is another dumb question but I havent been paying much attention to these boards since I rooted, I see that recent phones require Sunshine to root, is that because of the firewater method being patched via a software update (4.4.3?) or some other manufacturer change that I shouldnt be concerned with if the old root method already works for me?

I already updated... I was just saying for safe keeping just in case I get in some unforseen trouble.

Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723159 and just flash the 4.4.3 with not boot img. YOu dont need to flash the recovery to accept ota's. YOu can just flash this and you will get the updated radios and h boot.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723159

Downloaded OTA and updated, they added file manager and flashlight back ~!

nope, if your already SOFF, you will stay SOFF. might break your root, but all you need to do is reinstall supersu when you put twrp back on

OTA Update

I just received notification for OTA update. (134MB)
BLU_p0010UU_V11_GENERIC_5.1_20151123-0956
1. Stagefright patch
2. google security patches
3. Mcafee security 2015
4.Other bug fixes
Anyone tried it ?

i want to know if it is going to try and stick me with mcafee. . . happy to see an update, though!

you can remove mcafee after the update.

Can anyone upload ota?

Yes please. I'm rooted and it won't let me download the update. If someone could even offer a system dump that would be helpful.
---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 PM ----------
If only for the stage fright patch
---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------
Also if someone could offer a system dump of the newest upgrade I'd be more than willing to cook up a rooted stock rom. I know I haven't been on the forums much lately at all but I remember working on stuff back in the t-mobile g1 days

Rooting after the update
I only first tried to root my Blu Pure XL after the update was installed. I find that the boot loader is locked and I can not find a way to gain access. I am not sure if the update added this major inconvenience but I suspect it did as the rooting method as described will not work for me at all. Any thoughts or suggestions?

ive updated with every ota and root works fine... boot loader isnt locked... try to flash twrp via fastboot, and if that doesnt work enable developer options in settings and "Enable OEM unlock"
but like i said Ive flashed back to stock FW with SP tool (compete stock boot, recovery, and system ver .11) so if any update would have locked BL it would have locked mine... but it didnt, doesnt, and hasnt...
Follow the thread about twrp... it gives you very easy to follow directions.

Yeah, I did the OTA update before rooting, and it didn't want to allow me after the OTA update.
I downloaded multiple files from all over the place, placed them in a "root" subfolder and it still seemed impossible.
Got it done AFTER 3 days

so...
using flashboot to flash twrp, after the OTA,
then using twrp to flash the SU.zip took 3 days?
what files and "root folder" are you referring to?
Sounds like sever case of lack of reading or lack or user error;
But Im glad you stuck with it long enough to get it working...

Thanks, hardest part was actually getting phone to boot into flash mode.
Specifically, holding Power plus Volume+ is fine, but you have to let go of the power button first, then the Volume+.
Plus, I had to adb reboot before getting the TWRP rom to flash properly....
Not my best effort, but findintg SPECIFIC instructions were difficult, and had to manually search for latest fastflash and TWRP......v2.8.6.0

[OTA] Official Marshmallow build MCG24.251-5

WARNING: THIS HAS BRICKED PHONES! It is suspected that having an encrypted phone causes these bricks, but that has not been confirmed. If your data partition is encrypted, it is extra important that you perform a factory reset before taking this OTA. Doing this will remove the encryption.
WARNING: INSTALLING THIS ON A LOCKED BOOTLOADER WILL ELIMINATE ALL CHANCE OF YOU EVER UNLOCKING YOUR BOOTLOADER.
If your bootloader is unlocked, it will not be re-locked after this update.
Do NOT flash this using TWRP. If you want to do that, use this version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/development/rom-mcg24-251-5-100-stock-t3512949
So if you're a bad enough dude to flash this anyway, follow these instructions:
1. Backup all data on your phone. It will be lost.
2. If your bootloader is locked, make sure you are on SU4TL-49. If you aren't, take all available OTAs until you are.
3. If your bootloader is unlocked and you have TWRP installed, flash SU4TL-49 using this package: https://mega.nz/#!3xRhiaSR!KxH2Ya_BYK4zBjrxmej7dqaaDJVT1coTFJVJ5Fvb2WM
4. If you have TWRP installed on your phone, download the stock SU4TL-49 recovery here: https://mega.nz/#!L1AkQD4T!qoZIlLa-wuUBLMEi_gE574meiHd6Pehb34a-x3Gb-V8 and install it using the install image option in the install menu in TWRP. Reboot to recovery.
3. Perform a factory reset using the stock recovery menu. This will wipe all data and ensure that everything is formatted exactly as it should be.
4. Boot the phone normally and place the marshmallow update on the root of the directory that pops up when you plug in your phone.
5. Boot to recovery and at the stock recovery menu, select "apply update from sdcard."
6. Select the update and cross your fingers.

I'm positive. I seem to remember they did the same thing with SU4TL-49. The OTA was named after SU4TL-44 for some reason.

This is the stock recovery version, correct?

I'm testing the TWRP version now. It should be up shortly.
EDIT: I flashed it and it seems to work fine. Uploading now. Should be up in a few hours. I'll check on it after I go run some errands real quick.

Despite having software status report official, not modified, I too got a status 7 error. Downloading again.

This used to always be Motorola's naming scheme. New updates were named after the firmware version they replaced.

Sweet. I am going to wait till it is more stable. I do have a bad esn Turbo but I will need to unlock to bootloader to test.

Mirror for people having "quota exceeded" error at Mega

Rename to Blur_Version.24.81.5.quark_verizon.verizon.en.US.zip before use, throw in internal storage, and check for updates.
PS: I have 64Gb Employee Edition, and still had not receive update by air. What a shame, VZ! )

Error 7? Are you trying to flash this in TWRP? Because you can't do that with this package. You need the stock recovery. I'm uploading a TWRP-friendly version now, but the internet is being slow today.

Strange. Try reflashing SU4TL-49. If my TWRP package doesn't do it for you, use the full firmware package and do it manually with fastboot.

Installed successfully on two devices.
...
kitcostantino, did you refresh system, kernel, modem and recovery by SU4TL-49? Are you sure you didn't mess with Turbo Maxx ROMs in the past? Foreign bootloader can cause even brick, not just error. See bootloader status at fastboot mode should be " locked, status 0"

lol. lawd, No. Ive been rocking status 3 for over a year.
As a tip, if anyone else with an unlocked bootloader runs into this,
what i had to do was restore my su-44 unmodified backup, OTA to SU-49, and then, after confirming my
q/e status was 0/1 i was able to update via the file in my Mega download folder. all is well now. they even added the newer version of command center. sweet. thank you all!!

Um, I couldn't tell you.i be been unlocked since the day Sunshine could unlocked our bootloader's. What I can tell you is you should absolutely unlock that via Sunshine before you even dream of applying this update. There will never be another opportunity.
Just my
.02. This is likely the last update for this phone, and your only chance of seeing N is via custom Roms.

New Update - QF2

The security patch included is (most likely) the July one, since Samsung also just released a new software update to international models which includes the July security patch and Verizon has been updating the "Galaxy S" series phones with the July update over the past few weeks.

Updato is one way; this shows the list for the Verizon S5 with the most recent at the top; they haven't gotten the new update up yet though.
I think that another way would be for someone to dig through the update.zip file which would be on the phone of someone who got the OTA update downloaded but had not yet installed it yet.

To confirm, the only thing that's different between the dev-friendly version (when it comes out) and the stock is the missing aboot? Thanks again.

Is this flashable with Odin only or possibly need to already be on a specific kernal? I have tried on two S5900V's through TWRP and both result in a failure message. Both are on jkruse de-bloated MM rom at the moment.

Since no one wanted to chime in and help me out in my post, you need to unzip the file and load the md5 into Odin's AP slot and flash it. Then let the phone do its thing and flash the latest TWRP with odin after. Then go back into TWRP and flash supersu to gain root again. Trying to flash right within TWRP is not an option, not sure why its not explained.

So this update wont "factory reset" my device?

I always flash super su and whatever else I need in recovery after I've flashed the rom so I cant give you a definitive answer. Both phones did upgrade without data loss and now advanced calling/wifi calling actually work now which is why I flashed in the first place.

If you flash the dev boot loader friendly version it wont screw with your bootloader whatsoever. Before you restart go back in TWRP and flash supersu to get root again. Saying it "unlocked boot loader" may cause confusion to people because it does not, you need to manually go from locked to DEV status via a few of the methods posted in here.

You cannot be rooted on T-Mobile FW.

what I did with my 6t was flashed the stock TMobile boot image, flashed twrp, rebooted recovery, flashed magisk then factory reset... not sure if it'll work for the 7 pro I may try it though

I don't see why you can't perform this.
