I've looked at doing a marshmallow AOSP build for the s4 but so far have failed miserably. I don't have enough exp and been trying to use the cm device trees. Looks like it will get cm13 tho.
[Galaxy S 4 General] gotluck:
Looks like we got another one
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
Has anyone captured it yet? So not looking forward to doing another image. LOL.
[Galaxy S 4 General] pclov3r:
Yep stagefright fix.
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
I screwed up on my device. I had twrp installed still so it tried to install in twrp. Now it tells me no updates available. So, yea, I need the link to the OTA.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jaykresge:
Looks like a stagefright patch. My Moto X's stagefight patch was roughly the same size.
[Galaxy S 4 General] oldblue910:
If anyone gets the URL, please post the OTA link here!
[Galaxy S 4 General] -Ric-:
I copied the "update.zip" from the /cache partition and uploaded it on Google Drive, not sure if this is the right way of doing so but here it is anyway:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bx_YEvKLW9OOS2xtQVdLVVg2aWs/view?usp=sharing
[Galaxy S 4 General] oldblue910:
I'll try to make a URL out of it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
That'd be very helpful. You know the pattern so it shouldn't be too hard.
[Galaxy S 4 General] pclov3r:
Here it is.

https://android.googleapis.com/pack...I9505G_XAR_UDOH2_to_UDOJ1_Update_FWD_USER.zip

SO this appears to be UDOH2 to UDOJ1 which is most likely the stagefight patch.

Computed the SHA-1 hash form the zip poked into it and came up wtih this and changed the URL.

[Galaxy S 4 General] racoonlab:
Hi,

How can I install the OTA updates (zip) from the first post?

./adb sideload [OTA file].zip , returns a "error: device '(null)' not found"

flashing with TWRP returns an error: "error executing updater binary in zip..."

heimdall: not sure how

I have also noticed that the system download a new firmware/update automatically and it can be located into cache directory. I tried to install it with TWRP, but it still fails. I wonder if it is something to do with the ROM I use: jamal2367's ROM http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/aosp-official-5-0-s4-google-edition-t2984852

[Galaxy S 4 General] dmapr:
I was under the impression you could only apply OTA when you're on the stock ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
This is not the appropriate thread for this but is anyone interested in system less root for the S4 GPE? I just created a boot img for OK1 that allows system less root with SuperSU 2.56.

I've decided to create an uber ODIN thread rather than continue creating a separate thread for each image.

How long will the S4 GPE get security patches for I wonder.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jaykresge:
The policy on Nexus devices is that they get security updates for about one year after OS updates stop. The first gen GPE devices (One M7, S4, Moto G, G-Pad 8.3, Z Ultra) seem to be connected to the Nexus 4 in terms of support life cycle. So, security updates should wrap up around the release of the next Nexus device(s).
[Galaxy S 4 General] Osmoso:
These will work on the i9505 tho right?
[Galaxy S 4 General] jaykresge:
I'd answer your question, but you probably wouldn't read it. I mean, that's what I gather since you couldn't be bothered to read the first two sentences of the first post in the thread.

I'm not normally this callous, nor do I expect someone to use the search function in an 80+ page thread. I'm pretty forgiving, usually. But wow, man, 1st paragraph, 1st post? Did you even know what the thread was about before posting, or did you just ask yourself, "Should I click a random thread and ask the question?"
[Galaxy S 4 General] Zephead:
Is the latest security patch listed on the first page? I'm being prompted to install LMY470.S008.160101 but since I'm using TWRP it won't install, I'd like to flash it manually on wife's S4 GPE w/out having to return to stock recovery, thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 General] pclov3r:
I'd flash the stock odin image to make sure it applies correctly. Did you make changes to the system with twrp? If so the ota won't work anyways including if you rooted it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Zephead:
Thanks for replying, I did flash supersu in TWRP so I guess it wouldn't work anyway then. After searching for quite a while I couldn't find the stock recovery for 5.1 all I could find was the recovery for 5.0 and I didn't know if that would be fine or not so after doing a full wipe I just barely flashed CM 12.1 nightly from yesterday and it already has the Jan 2016 security update in it and everything is working fine.
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
Ah, damnit, sorry. I've been super busy lately and haven't posted the modems and recovery ODIN images for the latest versions. I'll try to get to that tonight.

Google released the Feb security releases for the Nexus devices. Let's keep an eye out for the GPE update.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Zephead:
Hello, I want to convert my brother's TMo S4 into the GPE but leave it stock. It's 100% stock right now so I could just root, flash TWRP then flash the GPE ROM and then flash the stock recovery again in ODIN to still get OTAs? Is there a better way like just flashing the GPE ROM in ODIN to begin with to avoid switching back and forth between recoveries? Thanks.

No. Read the OP of this thread.

How to flash these

I appreciate all the work done by you folks keeping these updates, well, up-to-date.

I read the first couple of posts, a bunch in the middle and a bunch at the end but I still have a couple of questions - perhaps pin the answers to the front of the forum?

These downloads represent repackaged OTA updated images - right?

Are there checksums for these files (I might trust you but I don't trust anonymous servers)?

Are these flashable from recovery (TeamWin) or via Odin or both?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Navitron:
Not repackaged. Checksums are SHA1 and part of the OTA links themselves and are from googles own servers... (You don't trust Googles server?) These OTA links are only flashable via stock recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
The links we post are where your phone downloads the ota from. Lol. They come from Google directly.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Navitron:
https://android.googleapis.com/pack...I9505G_XAR_UDPB1_to_UDPC1_Update_FWD_USER.zip
[Galaxy S 4 General] TheManii:
Here's a consolidated list of LMY47O otas, everything from LMY47O.S008.150802 (UDOH2) → LMY47O.S008.160301 (UDPC1) was from the previous pages in this thread, most of them were found by Navitron.

Everything after that I found myself directly.

The fact that samsung never bothered making more then 1 ota per update means that it took around 12 hours to update from KTU84P.S001 to LMY47O.S008.160601, even longer if I didn't sideload the otas due how much faster it is to download on a pc after getting the filename

Is it possible that the links in the post https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67739557&postcount=874 can be updated in the OP?

[MENTION=3289998]TheManii[/MENTION],

I am curious how did you find these links out? I have been trying to find the ways to find these links on google servers and found absolutely no info. I am not a developer, just a user, but would like to learn for sure.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. - Will appreciate if you could update this one too, https://xdaforums.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_4/GT-I9505G I can try to do it, but I am not aware of the dates and don't want to screw up the page as I have no experience in this.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Navitron:
I found the links by checking for update on the phone. Once the OTA was downloaded before installing it I ran a SHA-1 on the zip file and appended that for the download name. I think google changed how they named there OTA download links toward the end of the GPE life. Anyways that's all academic now since GPE program is dead.

If you are still using this phone I recommend LineageOS. https://download.lineageos.org/jfltexx

These are way out of date to recommend using still.
[Galaxy S 4 General] fuzzychicken:
Thanks, mate.

The reason I asked, I am already on lineage variant ROM. In the process of flashing Oreo ROM, something went wrong and I can not get cell phone data on the phone, nor could I install Oreo ROM due to small partition size. So I went back to 7.1.2 ROM I was using. Everything else works just as good.

I tried to go back to my stock 5.0.1 ROM that I had a backup, still, I can not get it working. Hence, I was thinking if I could flash the stock ROM, maybe I will be able to restore it. There is a thread where there are all stock ROMs listed but when I tried them, none could fix the issue. So I thought if I could get the last update from Google's server directly, maybe it will have everything I need and will be able to fix the issue.

You could not flash stock GE S4 roms on S4 in the past. These are OTA Stock for GE S4 only.

The phone still has 5 home screens. Google Now screen doesn't show up when you slide to left.
[Galaxy S 4 General] MattBooth:
Did you enable Google Now in it's settings?
[Galaxy S 4 General] jodvova:
I guess that's because GE launcher is not installed.

I'm gonna try it on mine as well now.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jodvova:
Yes, it's enabled. I can activate it by long pressing a home button.

I'm missing GE launcher I think. At least that was the case when I upgraded Nexus 10 to kitkat, had to install the launcher separately.

Install Android SDK - open CMD - cd /path_to_adb(should be under sdk/platform-tools in the SDK folder you just extracted).

ADB pull /system

---------- Post added at 12:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 PM ----------

And what about device, in what mode should I put it before running adb ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Toss3:
Best keep it in bootloader mode - so reboot with power + home + volUP pressed. :) Then try ADB shell to see if it sees the phone, if not you need to go into device manager and install the drivers for your phone.
[Galaxy S 4 General] UlixesTNT:
Just out of curiosity (I may actually need it in the future): Would it ask me my phone model or how is it gonna "build" this PIT?

Also: what did you mean by "You could also do it manually with a CWM zip-file."? Just by uploading, say "system.img" onto the sdcard folder and then apply the update from there?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Toss3:
You need to first boot into download mode on your phone, and then connect your phone to your PC. Then you need to go into device manager and remove the installed drivers under "USB devices" (Samsung CDC Something).

Now you need to download the Heimdall suite - extract them onto your harddrive and browse to a folder called "Drivers". In this folder you should find an application that will detect and install the needed drivers automatically (note: you need to reverse this process when you need to use Odin again).

Once you've done that you just need to open Heimdall-frontend.exe and go into "Utilities" and press on "Detect". Once the program has detected the device successfully you need to press on the button below whom reads "Save as".

Heimdall is going to search your phone for the correct partitionlayout and build a pit-file based on those.

Save it as i9505.pit or whatever you want really.

For cwm to work you need to extract the img first and then put all of the files along with an updater-script into a flashable .zip file.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jodvova:
It doesn't see the phone in bootloader, not even an unrecognized device. There is no device in device manager whatsoever.

It does see the phone fine in "apply update from ADB" mode though. But adb pull doesn't work there.

Are you sure that windows should see the phone in a bootloader mode ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Toss3:
Yup, you probably have the device hidden under one of the tabs in device manager (with an exclamation mark next to it).

Here are the needed drivers.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jodvova:
It doesn't work.

There is no device in device manager, not even a hidden one. Tried the drivers too, doesn't work.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Toss3:
Try another usb-port. If that doesn't work you could try to do it while the phone is booted.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jodvova:
Same USB port sees the phone in adb sideload mode.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Toss3:
Hmm that is a conundrum. Did you try adb pull /system after the phone had booted(need to enable usb debugging from the developer settings (enable developer settings by going to settings/about phone/ and clicking on Build number 7 times))?
[Galaxy S 4 General] AdrienC:

Can i install this on my 'regular' s4?
[Galaxy S 4 General] oldblue910:
Nope. These will only work on a 9505G, end of story. If you have a regular GS4, your only option is to run a custom ROM based on the GPE ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Nasty_z:
You can flash supersu to obtain root.

I9505 users can flash [MENTION=980049]Toss3[/MENTION]'s patched ota zip file over [MENTION=4301147]MaKTaiL[/MENTION]'s untouched GE ROM. It works great! It's available a few posts above mine. Don't flash the system dump!

Only bugs I've encountered are a FC in security option in the settings app and have to manually select the network to obtain mobile network access (may just be my network). Anyway, those are minor bugs.
