is there a mirror to downloads ruu, i always get corrupts download from the official
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] droidnux:
Or is there correct md5 ? :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
How do you know they're bad? Post your md5 and see if anybody will confirm it. I must have deleted my RUU file or I'd post mine for you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mvmacd:
Note: I just discovered there is a newer RUU here [it's officially hosted too]. I haven't downloaded it, so I'm not going to mirror it.

latest official RUU for the jewel [see wiki]:

Official: http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...V_3.02_003_PRL25007_release_334470_signed.exe

Mirror: https://db.tt/NceJC5eG

MD5: d2955da05afd59d01410fa09c809aa0c

MD5 confirmed on dropbox mirror.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
Newer compared to what? The only RUU I'm aware of that was circulated was the upgrade to 4.13.651.3, which this one does as well.

FW: 4.13.651.3

Radio: 1.13.11.1105

PRI: 3.02_003

PRL: 25007 (my phone is 25017)

Release: 353492

That "Official" link you have is the 3.17.651.4 firmware, which is old layout from a while back. The "Newer" one is the 4.13.651.3. It's not really "officially" released AFAIK. Might want to clean up those links so people don't try to download the "Official" RUU and end up downgrading.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mvmacd:
What do you mean? I put "latest" in strikethrough, what more do you want?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
The RUU they were referring to is the one for Android 4.3 Sense 5. The one you posted is actually several months old now. I believe the OP was looking for a mirror to the Android 4.3 RUU because they were getting a bad download.

Sent from my EVO LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mvmacd:
Yes I know SilverZero was referring to the new [NOT OFFICIAL] 4.3, which, btw, I added to the jewel's wiki page, because apparently nobody had the time to, but where do you get the idea the OP is trying to RUU to the new unsupported RUU, and not the latest officially supported software? He mentions that absolutely nowhere in his post. Excuse me if I'm wrong, though.

[side note, before I posted the latest RUU on the wiki pointed to the one I mirrored in my post, so.. yeah. and I don't even check the forums that often, so how was I supposed to know there was a new sense rom?]
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
It's all good:D I knew because the OP mentioned it in another thread:thumbup:

While we're on the subject, we need a place here that has all the RUU's in one place, not scattered around from one thread to another. Haven't looked at the Wiki for this device lately, but are all the RUU's there, or just a couple?

Sent from my EVO LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mvmacd:
Oh ok... Well actually idk if the wiki has all of them, but it has the latest official (3.17.651.4) and the new 4.3 rom. I actually added both of those myself. Because I hate having to search threads, when you should, as you said, have everything in onc place. I think the wiki page is a great place for having all the roms in one place. (Since I'm s-on, only the latest ones I can install. But feel free anyone to add any missing RUUs to the wiki.)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
All the older RUU's used to be in this link below:

I just went and looked and it would seem that the link is down. I'll see about putting a thread together that has all the latest RUU's included in it, so folks will have one place they can go to in the forum without having to bounce around to find what they need:thumbup:

The guys at :

http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&Itemid=59&func=view&id=19287&catid=45

have this file:

http://buzzdev.net/components/com_simpleboard/uploaded/files/Prophet_ext_rom_unlock.rar

- unpack

- copy it over to your device

- run it

This will make your ExtendedROM writable, NOT visible.

Use TotalCommander CE to display content of your ExtendedROM for now (by entering "\Extended_Rom")

Sometimes, files in ExtendedROM are marked as READONLY and you have to clear that bit.

Does anybody has a good description of each file present in the Extended_Rom and if we can delete it or not?????
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Master K:
After readin that whole thread it seems some say it works some say it does not.

Can anyone confirm it works with the latest Submitter Cingular Rom? I do not want to have to reinstall everything again :)

I just got things perfect from the last Hard Reset I did.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] edsub:
I tried it on my 2.08 Qtek rom. Does not work (YET as Buzz is still trying!)

This was merely a test version btw.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] garywiscombe:
I flashed my Qtek s200 with the lastest dopod rom (from the ftp page) then did a soft reset just before customisation begins (preventing the extrom files from loading - I don't use MMS or smartdialing).

Copy buzznet's prophet extrom exe onto your device and run it (You should get a little popup saying "success"). I can't view the extrom files and the memory settings are still the same but my system runs a lot faster and I've gone from having to do a soft reset almost twice a day to once every 5 or 6 days!! (I run a large program thats eats up RAM).

It seems so much more stable, reponsive and quicker

Hope this helps......

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Master K:
This is why this stuff gets dangerous. The s200 is not the same as the Wizard from what I understand. Folks read things like this in what is a Wizard specific forum and think it's really working. On the buzzdev forums they seem to say it works on Prophet based devices and not on wizards.

That is why I asked here on a wizard specific forum about anyone having success.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] edsub:
From Bootloader / ROM structure perpective the Prophet and Wizard are said to be similar.

Buzz has developed his tool without any of these devices so hes still in a test phase.

No need for discussion Naddict I got this.

P.S.A

Don't take the update
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
What he said.

If you do, you won't likely keep root across the OTA, and won't be rootable afterwards.

Any chance of a bootloader breach is also lower once you update. Just say no,

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
NFL Mobile. That right there is one HUGE reason to root. Get that crap off your phone, unless you a willing lemming drone to the NSA and you have "nothing to hide"...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Seriously... I don't get it. Those of you that are on SafeStrap mk2 or mj7 are better off staying where you are. You're not missing some huge thing other than saying... Your s4 is on KitKat.

I have a sprint s4 on TW 4.4 and let me tell u...it looks just like TW 4.3.

So keep root..keep SafeStrap and wait and see if the XDA gods can bring root to it first before anything else.

I don't know I guess this kitkat thing is already tickin me off!

Do what you want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] richii0207:
An update is an update...I enjoy browsing through for new things. It's like flashing a rom? Some people like stock, it's clean and functional :D.

Just so's everyone knows, I have grabbed the OTA and given it to Surge, who is working on a root-keep version of the OTA build. If you want to keep root, consider waiting. Otherwise, I have the file on GoogleDrive and can share it to someone if they are able to get it up on goo.im or androidfilehost.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
Well we did have a thread going. Mod patrol came by and closed it. ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dknow101:
Shhh they might close this one too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shotjas:
Yes, it was quite odd - considering that thread was solely about taking the update, flashing it and solving its issues/problems. We had active discussions with [MENTION=4939386]Surge1223[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2812087]SamuriHL[/MENTION] going, that will sadly be lost or at best, take longer to dive back into the discussions. I understand that the Mod's are responsible for ensuring that threads don't go sideways and have multiple questions/suggestion/topics, when they can be consolidated into a single thread. By no means mad at them, just confused is all.

So then, [MENTION=4939386]Surge1223[/MENTION] or [MENTION=2812087]SamuriHL[/MENTION] - care to input the possible issues with "error code 7" when applying the update.zip file? I believe I have seen two posts (maybe more, two just stick out in mind) that (1) had downgraded to 4.3 and (1) was on the 4.4.2 Leak (MC2). I personally have attempted the downgrade, then safestrap upgrade to the pre-rooted leak - only to have constant errors and issues in the final steps of 4.4.2 pre-root leak installing. Flashed back to the leak (non-rooted) and stayed stable from there. Upon trying to apply the update.zip file you have uploaded, I too get the "error code 7" and the update halts, reboots and I'm back into my MC2 non-root 4.4.2. I am not sure if I can Odin back into stock 4.3 - I still have every firmware from 4.1 to 4.3 that Verizon has released for the S4 since I got it back in May of '13. If I can in fact Odin back to 100% stock 4.3, without bricking my device, then by all means I shall do that. However, I don't want to chance that as the phone actually works surprisingly well and stable on the leak. Look forward to more knowledgeable people than me offering up suggestions.

There is any differences if I flas it with odin from here ( http://sxtpdevelopers.com/samsung-sch-i545-verizon-kit-kat/ ). I mean OTA update is the same with Odin ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dtomlin:
The build from sxtpdevelopers is the leak, not the official OTA. Give it a couple days and there will be odin files floating around.

Is this the official OTA?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MorrisC2010:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] angryCOMMguy:
NC5 Odin Flash

Are the files needed to flash NC5 via Odin available anywhere yet? I think I'm comfortable with losing root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SamuriHL:
Those getting an error 7...it means the update failed the assertion checks. Usually there's some accompanying text to tell you what failed. But a few notes... First you're going to have to be on 4.3 (mk2 I believe is your last 4.3 build that this update is for). If you're on the leak, the ota is useless to you as it's not designed to update that. I don't know much about the leak so I can't tell you if it's possible to downgrade to mk2 or not. I suspect not given that it likely changed the bootloader but I don't know for sure. Those with rooted mk2, as you know the root survival mode is not working so if you wish to maintain root hold off. Surge was looking into making a SafeStrap flashable modified ota that will allow you to keep root. Otherwise if you're on mk2 and just have to get on the ota at all costs (losing root in the process with no root exploit available at present) you can use surge's no-wipe odin image to restore mk2 to stock with no data loss. After that the update will install. But again, you will lose root until/if a root exploit is found for the new ota.

Hope this helps people. Good luck!

I know NC5 is not on Kies yet, probably not for a few days. But would it be available on the Verizon Software Update Assistant software, I know that is normally kept update to date with the OTAs? And does anyone have a copy of the Software Update/Repair Assistant that's been uploaded or wouldn't mind uploading (I managed to promptly trash the disk after purchase)?

VZW update says mk2 is latest version
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Yep that error status 7 or whatever it's called is usually due to /cache having either modified or corrupted contents...but it gets complicated because /cache also holds stock recovery info for a temporary amount of time...I have fixed this error several times by flashing just cache.img.ext4.

Okay this is where we're at,

1. You can't downgrade your bootloaders to MK2 but you can still downgrade to mk2 because you can downgrade to the mk2 boot.img, cache.img.ext4, recovery.img.ext4, persdata.img.ext4, system.img.ext4, hidden.img.ext4.

2. I made the ota flash with root for people on mk2 but people on mk2 will have to either downgrade to mk2 first or flash a NC5 rom after someone (I probably will) makes a NC5 rom. Not a big deal imho

3. [MENTION=2812087]SamuriHL[/MENTION] is there any way you'd be able to generate the NC5 recovery.img from the mk2 boot.img + NC5 recovery-from-boot.p? If not I can try again but I can't seem to generate the right recovery.img because Safeatrap wont allow me to alter the boot.img from within SS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Deathbyfugu:
So is there currently an option available for people who installed the NC2 leak to upgrade to NC5?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MorrisC2010:
No it wont. Actually this won't install if you're rooted or on anything else other than stock mk2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SamuriHL:
I've tried multiple times but it's failing on me for some messed up reason. I don't get why. I've done this numerous times for the Moto phones and for my S4 GPE yet I get some messed up errors when I try to do it with this update.

---------- Post added at 11:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 AM ----------

Do you or anyone else have a link to the mk2 update zip? I tried the boot.img from the mk2 odin tar and the SHA hash is different than what the update script is looking for (!?!?!?!). That's probably why it's failing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MorrisC2010:
Whoa nice. Didnt see that before my last post.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Paramemetic:
Did you ever upload or post this? I see where you posted the Stock OTA, but not a rooted OTA. Also, would people on rooted MK2 still have to use a custom ROM or is it possible to flash a stock TW ROM, but with root?

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] newtsevo:
I ODIN'd back to stock and took the update....before realizing the security feature Google put in place not allowing apps to write to the SD card! I hope a root exploit comes BC that's some BS!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SamuriHL:
To be fair, that's a known limitation of all the KitKat builds. Google made this change due to security concerns. Yes, it sucks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] newtsevo:
Yeah I didn't realize it. I came from a gnex running KK so I didn't bother looking into it. I know there's a work around but root is needed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SamuriHL:
You can hope that the S5 bounty produces a root exploit that works on this build, as well. But I don't think that's going to be quick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dtomlin:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
You can still use a alternate method to downgrade to MK2 then reroot and then use a method of upgrading that allows you to keep root

Everytime I come back to check up on the S4 forums I see Surge posting some crazy sh!t he figured out. I can only imagine where the development for this phone would be without you man.

Hey surge, do you have the rooted official ota upgrade out anywhere or is NC2 it for now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
smh, VZ will not give you guys a break. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come for the I337. This process was very straight forward using our latest ota and was able to patch boot.img to create recovery. Just tried it for the VZ NC5 ota and was also unable to create recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SamuriHL:
This is some craziness. I've never encountered this situation on any of the phones I've owned. I have a fully automated script that creates ODIN images for the S4 GPE when we get new OTA's. Now I'm worried about 4.4.3 and not being able to create that recovery when it comes out. SIGH. This is not a positive development. At least you guys will get ODIN images that contain the signed files you need. Us GPE owners have been left out in the cold with regard to ODIN.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sir_Eagle:
I tried to down grade but wouldn't boot past the first Samsung screen, just boot looped to there. Even after a factory reset and wiping cache. Reloaded MK2 for now.

No. Pulling partitions means they're not signed. If they're not signed, they won't flash.
