[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RockRatt:
Great advice above. To add to it you will NOT be able to use CM11 on your device at this time or probably ever. Also you will NOT be able to ever flash CWM or TWRP recoveries.

You can ONLY use safestrap recovery which ONLY allows flashing Touchwiz based Roms.

You can ONLY flash Touchwiz based Roms because with Safestrap it will NOT flash any custom kernels. A custom Kernel is need to flash CM11, AOKP, and other AOSP Based roms.

You also CANNOT downgrade your bootloader as it is locked down hard. The locked down boot loader is why all above cannot work for your device. ONLY the original phones that came with MDB or MDL firmwares were able to use the Loki Bootloader Bypass, which allowed for flashing CWM or TWRP recoveries and then allow ANYTHING like any custom Roms (also based or Touchwiz based), flash custom kernels, flash anything. But any phone updated to the MF3 firmware or newer the boot loader was locked down too much to do much.

Do I need to unroot it first, or is there a topic similar to this one where I can do it manually?:

Wanam Xposed has a setting called "fake system status" in Security hacks. It changes phone status from custom to official.

You need to download and install Xposed framework first before you can use Wanam Xposed.

You can download Wanam Xposed from the Playstore.

Why do you want to OTA your towelrooted phone? You know you will lose the option to use Towelroot again right?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesuscakes:
Is there anyway to install it manually? I can't send picture messages or use LTE calling both of which require an OTA update to work unfortunately :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
Okay, choose Survival mode in SuperSU and do the update.

I turned on Survival Mode and changed my rom to Official with Xposed, but when I try to do the update it fails. Any idea how I can get it to work? I can't get MMS working or VoLTE without it. :(

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesuscakes:
I FIXED IT OMG! After extensive Googling I found this link: http://xdaforums.com/note-3-tmobile/general/n900tuvudnf4-extracted-stock-firmware-t2834398

I followed that guide and Voila! MMS works now. I guess you can't allow it to autoupdate since it's rooted for some reason. The manual update via Mobile Odin and regular Odin worked perfectly. I didn't trip Knox either and my root remained intact. Hopefully this link can help others.

To others who may happen upon this post. The one thing the guide failed to mention was to install the Samsung USB drivers first to ensure Odin can connect. I also read to turn off USB debugging, but I read that AFTER I did it. Just posting that, so others can make sure to turn it off just in case.

You can find the USB drivers here: http://androidxda.com/download-samsung-usb-drivers

I know posting this hoping it will help someone seems like a stretch, but I always do it due to this Xkcd: http://xkcd.com/979/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] philliman:
This guide is how I updated to latest firmware with TowelRoot still intact.

I downloaded the firmware from Sammobile.com.

Put the .tar file on SD card.

Open Mobile Odin pro.

Scroll down to open file. Press it.

Choose the .tar file.

Checked Enable EverRoot and Inject Superuser.

I choose to wipe dalvik cache which is optional.

Pressed flash firmware and that's it!

Good luck.

Why "open file ..." and not " OTA / update zip " ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] philliman:
Because it puts all the partitions in the right places.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GastonC:
Have you noticed that you still keep root but will become custom, not official firmware... still no tripped knox
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] philliman:
Long as knox isn't tripped I don't care if it says custom lol. Mine said official until I altered the build prop.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GastonC:
I didn't alter anything. What is build prop? I just installed a couple more apps that need root access....

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ahmadroid:
Can you explain how you did update bootloader using pic odin
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] AlkaliV2:
OP steps were clear and concise and I followed them to the letter after downgrading and re-rooting. Excellent post, I appreciate you taking the time to do this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gilbnx:
I've followed the details in post #1 and the upgrade went fine (preserved my root etc.)

What I noticed is that my Baseband stayed as before (NF6) even though my build is the new one (NG3)

Is there a way to make sure I'm upgrading my baseband as well?

Thanks,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] AlkaliV2:
The best way to know is making sure under mobile odin, after you've opened the tar file, is to look under modem and modem #2 and make sure both of them have something listed underneath. I am fairly sure you would be safe to flash again and just double check to ensure that both slots show up. I am also pretty sure you need to make sure you have a good tar so you get a good modem (I would download it on PC and transfer it via usb). Like the OP the only thing that did not update was the bootloader on my device.

As an alternative method if you don't want to reflash right away is to camp the firmware topic in Android Development and they will probably very soon post the modem by itself that you could odin to without having to follow the original steps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gilbnx:
Hi,

I did check that modem and modem2 are pointing to the tar.md5 file and re-flashed it with the same results (baseband did not update).

I've decided to use the same tar.md5 file and flash through normal desktop odin (download mode) and it went through, updating the baseband. Of course I had to re-root again and to make sure I have recovery. All data and apps remained, didn't have to restore anything other than root.

I do hope though that there is a better solution to update the baseband with mobile odin pro with the next update...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] slicknsxy:
I downloaded the bootloader. Not sure which part i found it under. There is odin 3.09 there to download.

Restart phone in download mode.

Start up odin

Under AP browse for the bootloader

Wait a few till file loads

Hey guys,

flashed the ROM yesterday, it works like a charm.

Only thing I cannot do anymore is get into recovery.

And I need to flash GAPPS.

I came from Paranoid and somehow managed to flash via CWM (although I had some mount sdcard1 issues)

Now I cannot access recovery. So what I did is

I flashed Pimped Kernel - Governors do really kick butt btw - nice battery life

originally I did it hoping to get into recovery

but - When I try to do the vol+ thing before the boot screen I get stuck with the orange LED.

Any ideas?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [Fenix]:
Strange thing...haven't had this issue... have you followed the procedures in OP? (flashed kernel provided with the Rom, wiped system etc... clean install always raccomanded)

Inviato dal mio C6903 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] lauchrecords:
Of course. Appears the only legitimate way for me.

Thing is that I initially had problems with mounting my SD in CWM, but in a head against brick wall manner I somehow figured it out.

After fastboot flashing the img I had to say bye to my recovery though. I tried with pimped kernel to get CWM back with no luck.

My device isn't bricked but this way I can't get GAPPS on my phone which is really awesomely sucking. Google contacts and stuff, I miss you...

EDIT: Solved the recovery problem by flashing PhilZ CWM... awesome.

For 20K you get a midrange phone. For a midrange phone you get a little bit of attention. If it had been a flagship phone, updates would have been faster.
