[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ballerintheair:
Hey guys I to get straight to the point is there a way to flash the old radio 0.33 I think to work under lollipop and have LTE unlocked permanently?

I have followed this guide off this website and it has worked since jelly bean 4.2.2 till kit kat 4.4.4

I cannot post the link since XDA won't let me.

So I'm wondering if I can move Lollipop and have the same LTE unlocked permanently and ready to go :confused:

If so, can someone show me how to do it?

I went back to cyanogenmod running 4.4.4 because I didn't like Lollipop lack of xposed support and no LTE. If I can get LTE back up I will jump back on 5.0.

Can anyone confirm whether or not NK4 can be rooted freely at the moment? And if so, your method of choice?

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] banccalif:
The official 4.4.4 and unofficial 5.0 can both be rooted with CF auto root
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] bryanu:
I wouldn't use that unless you care to trip KNOX and give up warranty. If all you want is root to remove bloat and tweak you can without tripping.

I can say I am now on the official 4.4.4 update, rooted without knox flagged (IE still full warranty).

Runs great.

The only change I don't like is before I had WiFi calling always set to on and it would be on when I turned my WiFi on and not when Wifi was off.

Now if I have it on and my WiFi off, it turns my Wifi on randomly or on reboots, even if it was prior off.

Oh well.

Anyway. For those that want to root and keep Knox 0x0 (not tripped) it's simple.

I used Kies to update to the latest release (OTA kept giving an error that many others on sprint forum are getting).

After this I installed towelroot (don't run yet). Next I used Odin to flash the NE5 stock kernel. Ran towelroot, ran Odin to flash NK4 kernel back, after installed SU and now all is well. Full root, good performance and not knox tripped. One thing to note is that while on the NE5 kernel you will get tons of errors, just ignore them, the original kernel will fix when all done.

I don't care for custom recovery and the stock kernel honestly runs great and I can manually do any tweaks I want but have the piece of mind of not having tripped knox.

Just wanted to share though that this work around works on sprint. I know other forums mention how to do on other providers etc.

**update**

I posed the files I used in another thread (as seems we have duplicate topics). So if anyone needs the kernels I got em already converted to tar and ready to go.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] banccalif:
Nice work. I'm sure some would find this helpful! I tripped knox within the fist 20mins of owning my device ?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] bryanu:
Yea, I've been fighting hard to avoid tripping it for the moment. I mean I guess when all said and done I don't care TOO much, but for now if I can root without tripping I will do it. (resale value also higher if not tripped so might get new phone in March).

I imagine this work-around won't work when 5.0 comes out as the kernel is changing too much so unless someone finds a new exploit to root without knox trip I will probably end up tripping it upon official 5.0 lol but until that time I have some piece of mind if anything stops working.

I'm actually fine with stock I just hate all the damn bloat they put on it so have to root to ditch it all. I don't know why they don't just make it so we can uninstall whatever we want...
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] slickdealers:
Is there any reason to update to this? I might just skip and wait for Lollipop.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] bryanu:
Performance, bug fixes etc. etc.

Remember this is already a skipped update. Sprint skipped 4.4.3.

It also includes new modem firmware among other things.

The wait game could be a bit. I don't expect Sprint to get 5.0 until around the time the S6 is releasing. Samsung is almost done with it but it takes months before Sprint will pump it out. Do you think they would have bothered with 4.4.4 if this was going to be out in a month? :)

I see no reason why one would wait? Nothing is lost, root is still possible. It may also be a prep for 5.0. Maybe they are using it as a firmware stepping stone. Who knows. I wouldn't bother waiting.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] JoeFCaputo113:
So you think we won't get Lollipop until April when we already have a leaked (pretty damn stable) build?? I'm sorry but that is straight up idiotic. We will have Lollipop by the end of Dec-Jan.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] banccalif:
As of now there is no towelroot for 5.0 so you might have to. Xposed also doesn't work and might be a while before its able to run on the new platform.

I'm running the 5.0 leak now, we will definitely have Lollipop by Jan at the latest, I think more like late Dec
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] bryanu:
Might not be April but it won't be by February or probably March even.

The key word you said is "Leaked"...

Sprint had 4.4.4 builds in testing for months also, they just don't always leak out.

Just because you have a non-production version doesn't make it magically release sooner.

If you look around you will notice Sprint is generally a tad slower on some releases at times. This is because they like to wait and see what other providers do and also avoid having to do more releases.

Take Verizon S5 for example. It got 4.4.4 a lot sooner vs. we did, but the downfall was it had issues and security holes that they had to go back and patch again with more OTA's.

Sprint waited longer, didn't have to turn around and do all of this.

Waiting longer can often mean a more stable product as it allows other things to mature.

Sprint also generally doesn't like to update an phone right away if a newer model is about to come out with the new stuff also as it could cut into sales.

S5 will get 5.0 but based on how Sprint operates and historical events I don't see them doing it before a new flagship model comes out in which some people may feel they can now hold off longer. The leak FWIW is kind of like a marketing toy. It shows that they are committed to upgrading the OS so people don't do the whole "I'll never use sprint/samsung on sprint again cause they stopped updates". They are doing the updates, just doing it slower.

At the end of the day we are all speculating. You don't know for 100% just as I don't. I'm just saying (in my head at least) my thought makes more "sense".

FWIW I hope I am wrong because like you I own this phone too and want to have the new fancy stuff :)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] mmark27:
This is all 100% malarkey. Virtually none of these things you've said are true "historically". Sprint and Samsung don't wait on updates. You realize that they updated the S3 once right before the S4 was released? Also the S4 at the same time as the S5 this summer? There's nothing in their history that predicts a pattern. They put out updates when the updates are ready. Sprint is usually the first of all major carriers to push out updates on Samsung phones, this time the 4.4.4 seemed to get delayed for quite some time. Trust me, regular customers, the ones that Sprint cares about (not us nerds), have no idea what version their phone is on and would make no difference in their purchasing decisions. Thankfully Google changed much of that by decoupling the good apps/experience from the OS updates.

My theory is that there were 2 teams working on the 4.4.4 update and the 5.0 software, OR they finished 4.4.4 a while back and had a shoulder shrug moment and said, why not release it. 4.4.4 (which is technically super minor security patches) was deemed ready finally, so they pushed out the firmware. Maybe they did it to test the new modem firmware? Who knows, but calling a March or February and then saying that Sprint is slow on updates is not accurate at all. And leaks certainly are not marketing ploys. We're very fortunate to even get them from sources, then a lot of work goes on to get them functional. Why leak something as a "marketing ploy" and then have everyone have a terrible experience and/or brick their phones?? Seems silly.

Edit: sorry, I thought you were wanting the NKD 5.0 leak based on the above posts, so that's where that is. If you want NK4 information, check out the dev section.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] bryanu:
You'd be shocked how many "non-nerds" do care. I've got plenty of people always wanting the latest OS on phones etc. and they are far from techy people. It's just how people are. They want the newest so they can say they have it or feel like the device is not as old.

As for the actual upgrades, that's just the way it is. I never said I agreed with things or liked it but it's the truth. I am going by my experience across all sprint phones, not just Samsung. Sprint is not normally one of the first to upgrade. They just thankfully aren't dead last.

The HTC Evo LTE for example they had HTC make a rom for with a newer OS, firmware's etc. and never released it, that was a flagship device too at a time. The only people that got it was the ones the HTC developers gave to whom asked for it. Same thing in that situation. Why go through all the effort and work and create something and turn around and not release it? It was finished per the HTC developer., firmware, radios and all. The responses I got when asking key people about that example was that it was a marketing decision. lol stupid if you ask me. You spent the time and money already... But they felt it would cause some people to not upgrade as soon because it effectively extends the devices life cycle.

Samsung has been known to sit on things and Sprint as well.

At the moment the word is not until early 2015 for USA on S5 as I originally stated.:

“#Samsung says #Lollipop updates for other devices like the Note 4, Galaxy S5 LTE-A, Note 3 and Galaxy S4 coming in early 2015"

For what it's worth I asked some specific people who I can't share anything about (believe me or not) and was told February would be the soonest but likely not going to happen.

Who knows, maybe things will change. The one thing going against us right now is Samsung is busy churning out countless models of phones right now. It's nuts all the variances they are doing and that causes resource strain.

Did you read everything everyone else has already posted? It's all fairly clear.

Since you are lost keep it simple.

Go download Samsung Kies and let it update your phone to the latest rom.

Go download the zip file I posted a few threads back.

Flash the NE5 tar file using ODIN on the computer in the PDA slot.

run towelroot.

Flash the NK4 tar using above method and you are done.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] cruise350:
You only needed to flash the kernel not the whole firmware. Your modem probably didn't update. If you are still having connection problems you should flash the entire NK4 tar file again to restore your phone to working condition. Then just flash the ne5 kernel, run towel root, install SuperSU then flash the nk4 kernel.

Hey guys, so I don't know very much at all about android but this site seemed to me to be the best place to try and get an answer.

I own a Nexus 5 running stock Android.

Today I attempted to download and install Android Lollipop however i think something unlucky happened.

Halfway through the download my phone apparently reached its monthly data limit and stopped the download.

When it stopped the download window disappeared and when i got home to wifi, i got a notification saying that it had finished downloading and was ready to install.

The download started and the android man came up with the progress bar but when the progress bar reached the end nothing happened.

I then stupidly turned the phone off and when it came back on i noticed that there was the new type of boot screen but it loops on that.

I have alread gone into the restore menu and reset system and cleared the caches but it hasn't worked.

No idea what to do now, please help me!!!!

A lot of users have issues with the following-

1) Soft bricking of the phone,

2) Trouble installing a new rom

3) Issues while using a new rom

4) Other software related issues

Disclaimer: This guide is a personal experience, I take no responsibility whatsoever happens to your phone or if your cat runs away or if the universe explodes. :D​

Following are the steps that I recommend to everyone for the above issues:-

1) Backup everything you require

2) Remove the external sdcard

3) Format all the partitions- system, data, cache, dalvik cache, internal memory using a custom recovery

4) Flash the latest stock rom for your country

5) Let the rom boot to the first screen and use it for sometime (So that all the partitions become stable)

6) Flash a custom recovery

7) Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache, internal memory

8) Install the desired rom

9) Wipe cache and dalvik cache

10) Boot the rom and setup it up.

11) Use as per your need

That’s it. It seems to be a long process, but believe me it resolves 99.99% software issues (except efs) .
[Galaxy Note II General] mannyvinny:
Approx 99% of the users know the above procedure to follow in case of any mishappening. 1% are those who came from other universe and doesn't knows what odin does. If you really want to rescue others from bricks,provide some guide related to efs,damaged partitions, possible reasons of bricks,methods to recover..and so on.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKaser:
Interesting post. As what I've seen in the play services greenifying thread, Cloudy rom users have already an amazing battery life, looks like all the debloating is useful.

I have debloated my F460 from all the korean crap and compared to my girlfriend's, which is untouched, it is noticeable.

I get easily 2.5 or 3h of SOT, with location reporting on, and tasker for automating things like wifi on/off, measuring my commuting time from my car bluetooth to my house/work wifi, or refreshing some custom zooper widgets when screen is on (namely how long I have been working).
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svavartr:
Yeah im really glad i finally got things going with this great device...

But Zooper widgets? are they worth it? i tried them (some time ago) and it jumped to nr 2 or 3 in battery usage list. When i see something like that i instantly delete, i have zero patient for useless (often cool though) tweaks that drain my juce.

Believe me i will be the first one to say yes to bigger screens and faster hardware, but the battery life has to come first, otherwise all the goods are completely useless :)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKaser:
I agree, but Tasker and location reporting are one of the things that I most want to keep in my device. I have verified that mobile data consumes way much more than wifi connection (maybe because tasker needs to query more and for longer time for my location based events?). Anyhow, today I am at 75% of battery with 45 mins SOT and 8h35m running on battery. I am satisfied, yet I always try to improve this time.
