My update wont install. Says install interupted. I think its because i had rooted this phone and even after unroot it shows custom on boot.

Do i need to odin wipe and if so what to use? Im on ng3 4.4.2....cant find the odin stock

Really buggy update and a visual POS!

- The Gallery app has text overflowing if the album has long characters.

- The Emergency Icon was poorly implemented you can see theres an ugly bar next to it and the AT&T logo if you have a passcode.

- When you press the recently opened apps icon the background turns a solid blue instead of showing your background makes it look like Windows 95 or something.

- App drawer lags every time you scroll a page.

So i had to Odin back to 4.4.2 nc build and then Ota to ng then 2nd Ota to this 4.4.4. Whew
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] malanets1990:
I agree with you on the recently opened apps but everything else seems to be working fine for me. Maybe your phone didn't update correctly. Mine actually seems less buggy and quicker. Try a factory reset.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jkchr1s:
I was rooted on NG originally, but the OTA failed to installed. I Odin flashed to nc build (my phone shipped with NG) so I could install the OTA, but it failed. I redownloaded and tried 3 times. I even tried sideloading the NG update on SD card, but it fails every time too.

Did you have to do anything special to get NG to install? I can't for the life of me get it to work. Or were you originally on NC and in which case I'm screwed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cybershawngates:
nope i was on NG - it was rooted like you but unrooting still left the custom logo at boot time. So I downloaded to stock NC - you must not flash the bootloader (BL) file in the 4 files in this rar at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2714455 - use the google drive download. You can't downgrade the bootloader. But as long as you don't flash the BL file in odin, flash the other 3 (AP, etc) and u should be good. (if you do flash the BL, no harm, odin will fail, pull battery and restart download mode remove BL from odin).

from there let NC load up and then OTA x 2 (advance date if needed) to the 4.4.4 build.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jkchr1s:
Hmm... that's exactly what I did, but the OTA update failed. I tried several times... wiped between installs, and it stopped at 32% or whatever it is.

I just tried installing these in odin: http://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/g900ang3stockmodem-tar-md5-t2868904

Verizon released 2 updates. One was to 4.4.4. Then there was an immediate follow up update to Lollipop. I assume that was the mysterious second file the OP mentioned that failed.

A few people I know on Verizon confirmed this as well as the Verizon threads here.

Edit: I would suggest not to take the 5.0 update. Muniz has his safestrap method of rooting 5.0 on the Verizon threads. I assume it will be usable for ours when it hits. First step is to be rooted....

I'm having the same issue. First I was rooted and I did not know that will cause problems with an OTA. So I factory reset, flashed the AP file from the stock link that is in this thread. Now I'm on 4.4.2 but its telling me I have a 164mb update and not the original 400mb update. And that update continues to fail at 26%.

I've done 3 resets/stock flashes of the AP in odin, but I'm still having no luck. I need some help

There's two 4.4.2s so ull flash nc then Ota to ng then Ota again big one to 4.4.4

Did u flash all 3 files? All except BL. Someone else reported they had to flash kernel and recovery stock for the update not to fail. (See earlier this thread)

I "went to the future" once. On 4.4.4 now. Ram went way up. Battery life is better. Can/should I root now? Was on NG when purchased. Just got OTA hours ago. Haven't rooted or installed safestrap YET.

Was just wondering since all the downgrade 1st than flash the NG kernal next stuff. Heard that with OTA, I might not have to downgrade 1st.

Oh yeah, I'm on the S5 active.

Edit: I kinda meant can I root now w/out having Odin as a "middleman"? (Just with phone, no PC required?)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] PS4AndroidHacker:
This may be a pretty obvious question but can't we just hit full un-root from the SuperSU app and let it un-root us and then take the new OTA update? It would make it so much easier than having to re-flash kernels and such.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] archie87:
This has actually worked for me on numerous occasions, BUT, you have to remember to complete other unrooting tasks beforehand such as unfreezing apps otherwise unrooting in SuperSU won't help. In my cases it also takes a few restarts after all is said and done before the system reverts to Official status.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] norbarb:
Do you have USB debugging check in Developers options ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] sumnerm1:
USB debugging is checked. Device is recognized in ADB but .zip file is not. File to sideload just needs to be in Platform Tools folder, correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] C0derbear:
Actually doesn't matter *where* the zip file itself is, so long as you can run 'adb' and adb talks to your phone. The latter may require the correct drivers be installed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] norbarb:
Zip can be loaded from any place in PC longest you write correct pat in command prompt in to zip. In example : if zip is in C drive you have to write in command prompt : adb sideload c://zip name here

Best way is to have zip in folder with adb.exe file then your pat will be adb sideload and name of zip

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] PS4AndroidHacker:
So I had no apps frozen at all. I had apps disabled and un-rooted with SuperSU. Then took the OTA update after going 2 days into the future. It downloaded but would not install the update. Do I need to have those apps re-enabled for the update to stick? I may be flashing away here soon.

I got the OTA update today as well. It seems snappier and the fingerprint recognition seems to work better. On the down-side I tried went to Development options and tried to select "use ART".

But even removing it doesn't give you back any more storage. These apps are in the system partition, which is not available for user apps/data. Unless you take the extra step of changing the size of the system partition, disabling gives the same benefit of uninstalling.

Another Update?

So back to the original question...has anybody found out what this update is after 4.4.4? I just had to downgrade to NCE through Odin to get the OTA Updates, then gonna root the 4.4.4. Anybody got an idea of whats coming down the pipeline and how soon?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CAG-man:
It is reasonable to assume with 99% certainty that the unknown update in the OP title is the Lollipop update considering Verizon, Sprint, and tmo?? All did back to back updates. First to 4.4.4 the to 5 in the same day. I think ATT found an issue with their file and pulled it. I think we will see it this week. I give that a 75% chance.

Anyone having an issue with 4.4.4? My home button keeps going to Google Now on regular short presses. Before it would do it after 1-2 seconds. This is very annoying.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] PS4AndroidHacker:
No issues here with rooted 4.4.4. Just waiting on 5.0 to come so we can see if it can be rooted. I hope we just have to do the kernel downgrade and root and then upgrade kernel again. That would be sweet.

I had the same problem after the update. Tried clearing the data and cache of google search. Problem came back after a day. Did a factory reset and haven't seen the issue come up in 2 days now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] malickie:
It is like most have said probably Lollipop and the guesses are pretty much on par for what I have read else where. Lollipop has seen a lot of issues on the S5, Battery Issues, GPS Issues, Bluetooth Issues, App Crashes (Gonna assume that is due to ART being on by default and apps not utilizing ART), and some other stuff I can't remember at the moment. If we don't get 5.0 soon I am gonna guess we probably won't see 5.0 but 5.0.1 or whatever.

On a side note I got the 4.4.4 Update and experienced the same issue with Google Now and the home button. Reboot phone and so far it is ok. Sadly I don't have the option to restore to factory restore because I got my phone from the Samsung Insights Program and because of said App being installed Factory Restore is disabled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] coolguytoo:
I'm having the same issues w/ the Google now popping up with a quick press of the home button but I've also noticed quicker battery drain and I am unable to switch back to ART runtime after the update. I chatted w/ an AT&T rep and they recommended doing a factory reboot then reinstalling the update. BUT he did say that AT&T should be releasing 5.0 sometime this month (February). See below.

Abi Sampras: The problems you have described are indeed known issue direclty related to the latest samsung android software update causing users devices to malfunction with battery life, connectivity, and the internal update processor. I will provide the details that SAMSUNg suggests to resolve this

Abi Sampras: The suggested method SAMSUNG provides to resolve this is to first backup all of your content data on samsung kies to your PC. I will provide the site link for the free download if you dont have it. Once you have backed up your data, you would then perform a master factory reset on the device, to undo the software malfunction and restore the phones ititial settings. This will certainly resolve the issues you have described, however it is imperative to back up the device first as this will

Abi Sampras: restore the phone initial settings

Coolguytoo: and downgrade me back to 4.4.2?

Abi Sampras: You can reinstall the latest update

Coolguytoo: Do you know or have an approx timeframe when AT&T will be releasing 5.0 or higher Lollipop? Another update may resolve my issues as well.

Abi Sampras: Its just advisable to undo the software update first, as there was a malfunction during the update that is causing your issues

Abi Sampras: To answer that question on the 5.0

Abi Sampras: As of now we havent received a specific date as to when it will be approved for the device by AT&T, however it is scheduled to be in Febuary

Abi Sampras: Which we are in now

Abi Sampras: THis could be any day before the end of the month

This month....NICE! :good:

My issue with 4.4.4 is that WiFi will drop and connect then drop and connect again in short period of time when it is set to switch to mobile data automatically if WiFi network is unstable. It happens on any firmware I flashed after updated to 4.4.4 (even 4.4.2 custom firmware) and on any WiFi AP.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] aabaaf:
See previous posts as to why this was done. In Other Words, Verizon. Also why the push to then right after the 4.4.4 update, update the Rom to 5.0, again Verizon. If you check around there are many well documented issues with the 5.0 update for the Samsung Galaxy S5. So AT&T is working with Samsung to get those issues fixed, and has stated above, that the update "should" be pushed out by the end of THIS month, which could even be 5.01.

Mine too, but I did

ODIN based Downgrade to NCE stock, with complete wipe, and deletion of 'android' folder off my uSD card

ODIN NCG-NG3 OTA back to back with ODIN MG3-OA1 OTA

Boot, (re)setup, reinstall everything desired, disabled all apps I could that I didn't want, ran stock for about 4 days, no problems.

Rooted (thanks muniz_ri!), restored root apps I use (SuperSu, TiBu, Root Explorer, DisableService), pushed my silent poweron ogg file, updated platform.xml to enable writes to uSD

Set back to Nova Launcher

Seems fine. No issues. Only had it that way for two days now though.

Got my s5 active about a month or so ago. Was very familiar with flashing stuff on old HTC Inspire 4g. Been kinda busy with newborn, but keeping one eye s5 rooting stuff.

Finally had spare time to grow a pair & try rooting AFTER a lot of READING of coarse--hint, hint.

Phone had 3NG installed already; Got the OTA and ram & battery were givin' a shot of adrenilin.

I only had to run thru Odin ONCE. That's right. Still says 4.4.4, OA1A, or something like that. Was expecting to downgrade to 4.4.2 (the one prior to 3NG) after Odin was done. But nope. Root access w/out having to flash 0A1A kernal.

Thought this might be info one could possibly use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] malickie:
I did a factory restore after updating to 4.4.4 and having those issues everyone is having with Google Now and the Home Button and it seems to have resolved itself. I honestly wonder if there is something left over from 4.4.2 causing some sort of conflict with 4.4.4 after update if the phone isn't wiped out first.

I finally had to just disable Google Search on mine for the time being. I've tried the factory reset and clearing data off of the SD card and the problem continued to surface after a while. Now it just vibrates when I hit the home button and I hit it again to actually get to the home screen.

Disregard my post a few before this. I posted it before testing as my wife was just getting home.

My apologies if I threw anyone a loop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Waiting4MyAndroid:

I went an even simpler route. Used wanam xposed to disable the long press home (set to do nothing). No need to change the app, just the home press.
