it appears to be mostly 4.4.2 firmware in the zip file, but it adds a sensors firmware and adsp firmware. i myself installed 4.4.3 then flashed. not sure if it would booger a 4.4.2 install

---------- Post added at 08:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

i am dying to try your nusense kernel or one you feel is ready on this
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
It's included in the rom, you can try it at anytime. :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] toknitup420:
Is this useful to those of us running 4.4.4 gpe/aosp Roms.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
He was asking about the kernel in my rom.

That's what I was replying to.

If that's what you are asking about, then no.

You will need a GPE or Aosp kernel for those roms.

This is not my thread, so let's keep this about the firmware posted here, out of respect for the Op.

If the firmware in the Op is what you are asking about, then you would wanna direct that question at the Op.

If you are wanting my opinion about it, this firmware has no overall benefit for any m8vzw rom, but that's just my opinion.

Not saying I don't appreciate the thought/effort behind it.

I haven't had any issues to try and find a fix for, so I wouldn't really expect it to do anything better for me anyway.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] toknitup420:
My b I totally thought this was your thread when i seen your name on here lol. But thank you for your input. Much appreciated.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
I would flash a 4.4.3 Rom 1st.

No issues here running Bad Seed's Tranquil 4.4.2
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] yugendreams:
Will we still be able to flash the official OTA?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] yugendreams:
I will say the boot time, even though I didn't use others, is about 45 seconds or a minute on my M8. Thanks for sharing this, I was finally able to run the latest Viper rom and so far no hiccups.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dougau:
So your saying that Vipers boot time has been reduced to a minute with this firmware? how long did it take to boot before?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] yugendreams:
I was hearing, just hearing, 5-10 minutes.

Regardless, it's about as long as most iPhones take to boot.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsminnis:
Ok I flashed via hboot, but it said bypass on 4 and 5, did others get this?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] aer0zer0:
Yea, and if you check the dsp, its just the HK
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] yugendreams:
I already did. Everything worked great, but now, for the first time, I am stuck on a reboot.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] aer0zer0:
i checked out the firmware, its all 1.55.605.2, except for the sensors firmware, and the adsp is the HK mod from scrosler. Its actually has helped the bootup time for the sundream rom. I however dont htink its going to help any other rom other than sense 4.4.3 style roms (international). But it works here
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] d1ez3:
Will this firmware allow bluetooth controls to work on 4.4.3 roms such as viper?

Also why is software for Verizon on a chinese forum?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
Hi,

Thread cleaned, if you don't have anything to contribute let's just not say anything. No more trolling, and please stay on topic.

Thanks,

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] x70xchallengerx:
Okay so the HTC One M8 rom "Android Revolution" currently only supports VZW variants up to version 8.1 because 9.1, 10.1, and 11.1 all use newer firmware released for GSM variants.

the apparent issue for VZW users is if they flash the rom without the correct fw, it will work fine but you'll have no WiFi.

If i flashed ARHD 11.1 and flashed this new hybrid FW would it affect the WiFi? I don't see anything about new radios so idk, I don't flash firmwares too often.

Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] buckmarble:
The broken WiFi is usually kernel related. The hybrid firmware here will not fix the WiFi. For everything to work correctly, you would probably need the right combination of VZW libs/blobs and kernel code.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] rpalmerin:
So I have a question.... I have a m8 vzw .. but just yesterday I am now on T-Mobile with this phone running viper 2.3. I'm not having any issues... ALl is great but the long boot times... I just want to stay current , so would this firmware update help any, or should I or actually could I flash a T-Mobile variant on to my vzw m8?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Shadow Death:
As I've stated before (you wouldn't have seen it because my post got deleted above). Probably not as much as you would like. It may help a little but most issues like that are kernel related or source related. When a Rom boots it runs through several steps. If there are errors in the boot up process it will make the boot take longer as it has to log all of those errors. I'd say long boot up times are Rom related and/or kernel related.

Just my 0.02 though.

[Sprint LG G2] ljphan692:
Hi everybody

i just ask you guys a question

what happening that is I take the g3 sprint tot file

Use that tot file for lg flash

My bad english sorry, if you dont understand :(
[Sprint LG G2] MeestaAytch:
If you're asking what will happen if you flash the g3 tot file onto your g2 the short answer will be you'll end up with a very expensive brick.

Hi guys i just got my Note 3 SM-N9005 yesterday and I need to root without tripping know.I just cant live without rooting anymore(have a lot of important apps that requires root) Ive been trying to search but Im still in doubt. I have 4.4.2 version and baseband/build no. DXUGNH1 :)

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] W@r10ck:
Thanks guys actually ive read his post,just afraid of rooting w/o the confirmation for my baseband or does it matter?should it work on all 4.4.2 versions?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paras.arora:
if you are before may or june date i think i forgot then it will work and yeah to bw on the safe side make a backup for your efs with dr ketans backup app.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] W@r10ck:
Just an update. I was able to root N9005DXUGNH1 firmware without tripping knox using _alxndr method which means towel root did work. My problem now is my wifi, Sammobile has not released DXUGNH1 firmware yet on their website which means i wont be able to download its kernel to fix my wifi issue(tried DXUFNG2 at the moment) My question is that can I downgrade to DXUFNG2 firmware since I believe both would have the same bootloader I guess or wait till Sammobile uploads DXUGNH1 on their website which I dont know how long will they take to do so. I currently only have 3gb data plan so I would wish to fix this wifi issue more quickly as possible. Would really appreciate your Ideas. Thanks

Hi everyone. My dad's s4 with a Google play edition ROM and his battery has been draining really fast lately. They seem to have lots of data to each I think but I cannot confirm. Here's what the battery tab in settings says.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kutusov:
Hi, I hope it is ok to post this question here....

So I drowned my HTC One X today and, looking at prices, I came across the G2 which isn't all that much more expensive than the discontinued HTC. I guess that's because there's the new G3 but that one is way too big for me.

What are you general thoughts on this phone, are there problems I should know about, hardware of LG support wise? I never owned an LG mobile before nor do I think I know anyone that does. Also, and I swear I tried to google all this stuff out before posting, but is the international version of the phone the AT&T one?

Cheers!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigglenuts:
I've owned a couple LGs now. Before my G2 I had an Optimus G Pro. The g2 is definitely a beast of a device. Screen issues do exist though, and they're not very uncommon. My buddy's screen actually got the flickering issue earlier tonight right before my eyes. I've never had an issue and I highly recommend this phone, but I'm sure other owners would try their best to steer you away from the g2 simply because of issues that LG released the phone with. Its really up to you though. Hope my input has aided in your final decision
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kutusov:
Yes it did, at least now I'll try to find out how prevalent those problems are or hw far along the line that sort of thing might happen. The HTC had what I'm assuming is the same issue, plus problems with the wifi antenna but seemed to be something restricted to the ones made on their factory in China.

Well, I have the weekend to figure it out and, meanwhile, I'll use a Nokia 6300 I found o the back of a drawer :p Gods, do I feel naked without a smartphone :(

------

Edit: So I managed to get a used one for a good price out of ebay and it was pretty much out of desperation. It's an 802 so I'm hoping I don't have to deal with the restrictions of a carrier specific model which I tried to read on, only to decide I don't want to go through again like I had on the HTC.

Thanks guys!

**Make certain that your reactivation lock in security settings is off before beginning this process**

1. Take the NG3 OTA update.

2. Download and install Towelroot-v3.apk(this version does not require internet access).

3. Place your phone into "Download Mode" (press and hold the Home, Volume Down, and Power keys until the phone powers on and displays warning screen, then press Volume Up key) and flash the G900A_ND3_Stock_Kernel using Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+).

4. Open the Towelroot app from your app drawer and press "Make it Rain" to root your device.

5. Power off then boot into "Download Mode" again and flash the G900A_NG3_Stock_Kernel also using Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+).

6. Install SuperSU to manage root access. Done!

Notes:

1. After flashing the ND3 kernel your phone may run a little wonky and towelroot may not root on the first try. If that happens reboot and try towelroot once again. Once rooted and after flashing the NG3 kernel your phone will once again run like a champ!

2. Following the above process

will not

affect your User Data or Knox Warranty Flag.

3. Should the NG3 ota update fail consider returning to stock NCE by flashing the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar using Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+) then taking the NG3 OTA update (or place the G900A_NCEtoNG3_OTA.zip onto your ext-sdcard and sideload from stock recovery). Once updated to NG3 continue from Step 2 above.

Alternative Method for Safestrap Users:

1. Place the G900A_NG3_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip onto your ext-sdcard.

2. Use Safestrap's Backup Function to back-up User Data.

3. From the Safestrap recovery perform an "Advanced Wipe" and wipe everything but your ext-sdcard.

4. Flash the G900A_NG3_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip using Safestrap's "Stock Slot."

5. Then press "Home" then "Restore" and restore User Data.

6. Once complete press "Home" then "Reboot" and reboot into "Download" mode.

7. Last, flash the G900A_NG3_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5 using Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+).

Notes:

1. The G900A_NG3_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, and Stock Recovery to NG3 but

does not

include the NG3 Bootloader.

It looks like I can't OTA to ND3 anymore. The software update gets me 160MB update directly from NCE reflash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
That's not a bad thing/ I can create a "KeepRoot" zip for it. Can you pull it from your cache/fota folder and upload it and send me a link? Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] 82801BA:
Trying. How to send it over to you?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
Thanks but just came up with an easier way to root after updating. See the OP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] 82801BA:
Does SS work in this case?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
Yes. If you have any trouble re-installing safestrap using the apk just install SELinux Mode Changer from the Playstore and set to permissive.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
On second thought can you upload to google drive and PM me a link? It will help me create the NG3 modem. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] 82801BA:
The file in cache/fota folder is has the name something.cfg. I should change it to update.zip, right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
Not necessary to rename before uploading.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] 82801BA:
I sent the file to you. However when I want to test install the file in stock recovery, I always get error and it will not update (but I can open in computer with 7zip or other programs). Not sure if the file itself has problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
Thanks, I will check out the file. Did you modify or delete any apps? If so that nay cause the error. You may have to odin back to nce then try again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] 82801BA:
No. I ODIN back to NCE, no root. Then I rerun update from About/software update. It does download 162MB file, then boot into AT&T logo. It will update until 30% and reboot, then the firmware is still NCE.

I am starting to think the file that people download from NCE is actually the same as those with ND3. However the file expects ND3 so it won't install (hence I get the error both with running the app and install in recovery). Notice all those people saying update fail in another thread?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
The file you sent me is definately an NCEtoNG3 version of the OTA. Which NCE Odin .tar are you using to flash back to stock NCE? Please send me the link. Also. what is the error msg when you sideload from stock recovery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] 82801BA:
EMMC: dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/apnhlos:7082752:....(whatever code is)" has unexpected contents.

E: Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (status 7)

The ODIN files are the one downloaded in this forum, that when expanded, contains:

AP_G900AUCU1ANCE_964333_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

BL_G900AUCU1ANCE_964333_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

CP_G900AUCU1ANCE_964333_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

CSC_G900AUCU1ANCE_964333_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

and using only AP, CP, and CSC (BL won't flash through because it had been updated with ND3 before and ODIN back to NCE).

And yes, I see the line "Package expects build fingerprint of samsung/klteuc/klteatt:4.4.2/KOT49H/G900AUCU1ANCE:user/release-keys"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
Ahha! You have the wrong non-hlos.bin! I will package the NCE modem and send it to you. It should work after that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] 82801BA:
lol How could that happen?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
The NCE Odin .tar that you flashed does not contain the non-hlos.bin. The non-hlos.bin is in the BL file in that set of .tars which the OP tells you not to flash. Likely beacuse if you are on the ND3 bootloader your wifi may go out or your phone may run wonky if you flash the NCE non-hlos.bin.

Here is the NCE modem pkg including non-hlos.bin. Flash in PDA or AP slot in Odin: G900A_NCE_Stock_Modem

Just go into stock recovery after flashing and re-sideload the NG3 OTA. I will put together an All-in-One_NCE_Odin.tar with the non-hlos so that other won't run into this issue. Someone will have to test.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] kevintran.98:
Hey guys so i just bought this s5 and it is already NG3 , do i still need to follow the directions on this thread or i can just use towelroot? And why do we have to flash the stock NG3 kernel ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Waiting4MyAndroid:
Towelroot does not work with NG3 kernel. You have to first flash ND3 kernel only, run towelroot then flash the NG3 kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] lostclusters:

I was looking for this answer since I bought my AT&T Galaxy S5 and ran the latest update. Argh! But your instructions worked flawlessly on my S5! No troubleshooting was necessary for me. You rock! Thank you for posting these quick instructions and files! I'm rooted, I'm free! :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] PS4AndroidHacker:
Shoot, I'm still running AND3 from the first OTA and still rooted if anybody is interested in getting a copy of my system. I'm just stock rooted and disabled ota's from AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] PS4AndroidHacker:
If anybody is interested in a copy let me know. Here's my specs. Still on an old system. Just trying to help where I can. I've been thinking about taking the OTA but wanted to help first if I could.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] gspears:
Hey Guys and Gals,

I'm trying to find the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar to downgrade my g900A but the download site in this thread says it's down for maintenance. Anybody know where else I can download this from?

thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MooreAJr:
Are these kernels custom or modified in any way or completely stock? I was under the impression that flashing older kernels/firmwares would result in bricking your device due to Samsung Knox and Bootloader issues, blah blah blah
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] s8freak:
Completely stock kernels any other custom kernels won't work because of locked bootloader

"You stay classy San Diego"

Sent from my G900A powered by XKRom GoldLimiTed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MooreAJr:
So there are no chances of device bricking from downgrading sammie kernels then? Does this go for other variants as well?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] dgriffi:
I suspect this could be done with Heimdall under Linux or MacOS like this:

heimdall flash --kernel boot.img

With "boot.img" being the contents of G900A_ND3_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5 and G900A_NG3_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5

I rooted my phone by loading up an old laptop with Windows7 and Odin. Can anyone verify my guess about using Heimdall like that? I don't know if the filename itself gets written into the phone by Heimdall, so I'm unwilling to try to make a rooting package for Linux users who'd rather not deal with Windows.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Orion575:
I just rooted my S5 AT&T, everything went smooth! Thanks o lot to OP!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] randybellis:
got my S5 and loaded the updated as instructed in the post. My S5 is now stuck on the Samsung S5 screen and will not come off of it.

PLEASE HELP!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
Dont know what you did to cause that but you can flash the "downgrade to nce.tar" in the op's troubleshooting section to start the process over.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] randybellis:
so I downloaded the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar. It is a ZIP file and when I this the PDA in ODIN it doesnt see the .tar zip i downloaded. I did try to unzip it and see if there was something ODIN would load just in case I missed something and still got nothing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
You will need winrar to extract the .tar from the dowloaded file then flash the .tar using odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] randybellis:
i tried to do that TWICE and I keep getting an error:UNEXPECTED END OF ARCHIVE

KEEPS SAYING FILE IS CORRUPT
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
Sounds like a bad download. I just downloaded and extracted the .tar without any issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] randybellis:
yeah. I am trying a 3rd time to download from a different server. Usually I dont have these issues and are usually pretty good with this stuff
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
Try using a different usb port.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] randybellis:
wish I could. Usig a stupid tablet with a keyboard dock and only have the 1 USB port. LOL

---------- Post added at 03:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 AM ----------

So I downloaded it again and getting the same error message. I have no idea what to do. I cannot even unzip the damn thing to get a .tar file to flash
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
I will upload the .tar uncompressed and send you the link. It's 2.3gb so may take awhile at 5mbps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] randybellis:
THANK YOU! I tried again and got the same thing again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
in the meantime you may want to try a factory data reset from stock recovery. that sometimes helps after taking an ota.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] randybellis:
ha! tried that and I get the droid with the red triangle. i thought about that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
Your recovery is borked. Never heard of that happening from an ota. Did you take the ota via wifi or sideload somehow?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] randybellis:
over wifi. I just want to try this TAR file and if this dowsnt work then im taking it back to AT&T
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
Here you go. Good luck: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95747613655042108
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] randybellis:
ty...figured this is a last ditch effort. Thank for taking the time to load this

---------- Post added at 04:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:35 AM ----------

so the problem I am having is for whatever reason I cannot doanload the entire file. It just stops at 450MB. So i guess I am F'ed and going to AT&T tomorrow after work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] xtearx:
You sure that's not just you? I could download the file no problem..... I've been stalking this thread a while debating on whether or not I want to try this method out yet to root my S5 or not for the first time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MCFADONNA:
The method works but if i remember correctly one of the downloads was bad it wasn't loading the whole file .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
My guess is Randy is having either usb or internet connectivity issues. Also, AFH has been revamping their system for the past week which may contribute to some download issues. However this method has been proven to work and on a scale of difficulty and risk from 1 to 10 I would rate it a 3 very low risk and skill set required given we are dealing with odin flashing of signed images.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] randybellis:
I downloaded it on my tablet and moved it over to my PC and flashed. PHONE IS WORKING AGAIN! Thank you so much!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
Glad to hear it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] xtearx:
I haven't used ODIN before, but I have it downloaded and it looks fairly self explanatory. Once I have time to look up a little bit more I'll most likely root it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] gregsarg:
Git er done...

It's easy...and a bebloated rom is soooo much better than stock....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] randybellis:
thank you for all your help! Really didnt want to go back to AT&T when I knew I could fix it myself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MCFADONNA:
I think it was chrome that had a problem with the download but it could have been Firefox . I can't remember. But once I got the full download I had no problems. My s5 is so much better once all the at&t crap was deleted . Winam works great but I changed over to xblast for a few different mods. I can't wait for someone to finally Crack this stupid locked bootloader
