5.1.1 ota update download complete. While installing, it fails

Okay so I was able to BORROW my friend's AT&T sim card for me to be able to initiate the update for 5.1.1 (I am getting tired of KitKat's temporary root and also I am using it with T-Mobile [take note it's unlocked]). Download of the said update went through with no flaws for almost ~3 hours (it's damn slow!). After hitting RESTART (to initiate the update), during ~25%, phone restarts, and THEN, it will say updates cannot be installed. I just went through the PROCESS of FACTORY SETTINGS prior to upgrading towards Lollipop from KitKat.

Now the QUESTION IS:

1. After downloading the said OTA update, Can I use adb pull towards the /cache folder to pull out the OTA update WITHOUT re-downloading the ZIP (if anything fails)?

2. Do I have to KEEP an AT&T sim card in my phone during the process of INSTALLING the said OTA update?

3. Should I sell Note 4 haha

I am sad with this phone :/ Thank you in advance for those who are willing to help me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] soraxd:
okay so I figured it out. it isn't cache or vpn or anything like that, you need over 8gb of free internal memory to do this 600mb update. so move a bunch of stuff over to your SD card and then try it, it will work. gl

.cfg 5.1.1

okay! I got this OTA update. from /data/fota folder. Now, does this app usable?

(i know how to screenshot. MY PHONE LAGGED lol)

Here's the LINK for my .cfg file
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] tonys.94:
So you actually have the 5.1.1 files listed above? Also, the 5.1.1 update I know is available for my Note 4 and I'm in Colorado however all I get is an update interrupted message. I've reset and wiped the cache so many times but to no avail. xRuisuCepi uploaded the cfg file and I figured out how to try and flash it by going to the recovery and applying update from external storage, but it verify's then fails to install and then performs a factory reset and restarts. So something is messed up although I have no clue what at this point. I can't even find valid odin files for my current firmware on the note 4 which is OC6. I have the note 5 which came with 5.1.1 and its awesome but I've been hoping to still update the note 4 and hopefully root, but neither is happening :( So disappointed, but I love the note 5 :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] xRuisuCepi:
I had no problems upgrading from KitKat to Lollipop! I wonder what happened to yours :/ Mine turned to be a successful update :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] tonys.94:
It seems I'm not the only one, on other threads as well people are getting failed update or failed write errors when applying from external storage. For me it reads and verifies successfully but it fails once it try's to start writing. I sent a message to a dev who has decompiled these files into Odin usable files but he hasn't gotten back to me yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] soraxd:
yeah I had this problem too, you gotta have more than 8gb free in your internal memory, so move a bunch of stuff over to your SD card.

its not about cache.

turn off automatic time, and then move your date forward by 1 day, so that you can try the update again. it'll work once you have 8gb of internal memory, good luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] tonys.94:
This is not the problem for me at least. My phone has been factory reset already many times so there is more than 8GB of space free. I've already tried advancing a day and it still gives me the same message. No what we were trying to do was use the update cfg file that got uploaded. It fails trying to update via external storage due to the fact that this cfg file came from someone who updated from 4.4.4 to 5.1.1 so it fails since I and others are on 5.0.1, and I am on 5.0.1 OC6 so I cannot go back to 4.4.4 which makes this cfg file useless to me unless a dev can either decompile the cfg file to Odin tar.md5 files or at least teach me how by sending me content on how.

This is the other thread with the OP who uploaded the cfg file. http://xdaforums.com/note-4-att/general/ota-5-1-1-update-cfg-t3230022
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] base_ten:
I have three att note 4s. I updated all of them to 5.1.1 no problem the day that the update came out. My note 4 only had 7gb available and still no problem
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] sodomanaz:
Lucky. I haven't been able to get it to work. Tried all listed suggestions except for making sure to have 8gb free. Cleared data to get to 9gb just now. Hopefully it goes through. Been driving myself crazy as well as my phone started the "speakerphone always on at start" when calling or receiving calls. Deleted and shut down majority of unnecessary apps, went through every suggestion I saw as well. Loved this phone until these last few weeks!

Looks like the 8gb+ bit did the trick. Finally installing. Thanks!

Do not update to 5.1.1 with OI2 if consider root in near future. Rooting cannot be applied to 5.1.1. Downgrade to 5.0.x or 4.4.x is blocked from 5.1.1 firmware.

i need to get an AT&T chip for my note 4, im using that phone with a tmobile chip and im not getting the upodate :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] mingke@gmail.com:
Yes, you need ATT SIM card. Without that you will be told that your firmware is up to date despite 4.4.4

Even if you are in USA but using another SIM, you hv the same preoblem

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] MrSwaggaRight:
I followed directions and did the three first, and it stuck me in a bootloop. I booted back into download and flashed the ap and it worked first time. This is awesome!! Thanks! I have an att note 4 with t mobile as a carrier... Without this i NEVER would have gotten any updates!![QRCODE][/QRCODE][IMG="after flash"]https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/photo/103341670779781734050/6223120305944403826?authkey=CLfGiciJhevOgAE[/IMG]

unlocked verizon note 4

I have an unlocked Verizon note 4 on ATT network everything works fine except when I try to update it....What can I do about it? Do I call Verizon or ATT? I also wiped the phone and still nothing.

I cant post the picture of the error message I'm getting but it says: Service unavailable. Software update is temporarily unavailable. Try again later.

Android version is 5.0.1

Build number is LRX22C.N910VVRU1BOAF
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] bigron77:
If you are not using a sim card matching the device's carrier, you will not be able to download ota firmware (you would need to be on Verizon's network), but you can flash firmware updates via odin. I'm sure you'll be able to find a post on the Verizon Note 4 thread that will have the most recent odin flashable files needed to upgrade your device to Android 5.0.1 or 5.1.1

oh man seems like years without Titanium. Mine is not encrypted so I dont know what is up with this thing. To be honest the phone has been acting up and I keep getting Package Access has died or some nonsense like that. I dont even do the crazy things on this phone like phones in the past.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] dave30534:
I updated without issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] DennisOC12:
Updated without issues. New York area
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] nukesnooper:
Mine just finished. It took about an hour, total. Kept my paws off of it during the download and upgrade and it worked like a champ. I did a power off re-boot and tested Total Recall. All is good, so far. Now, to see how it performs battery-wise and speed-wise. All I know at this point is that when It rebooted, it affiliated with the wireless network at work instantly. Usually; it take a minute or two. I mean the second the boot was complete, the first thing I saw was that it was connected to our Wi-Fi. Color me happy, so far...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] seth50k:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
When I first installed Lollipop, the update wouldn't install. After a full day of failed attempts, I had to bring my phone to Best Buy and they reflashed the Kitkat firmware, which didn't delete any apps or files. After that, Lollipop installed.

Well, now this update won't install. If I moved all my pictures and stuff off of the internal memory, should the update work?

I'm considering using Odin to flash the OC6 firmware again, but don't want to if it isn't necessary. And I want to not go through the hassle of setting up my phone again.

UGH! This has been the WORST phone I've ever had! Can't be perma-rooted, full of bugs, and can't even install OTA updates correctly!!! :mad:

EDIT: Come to think of it, all the Stagefright updates worked fine for me, and they were small updates (only a few MBs). This one is like 600+MB and the original Lollipop update was also pretty big. So maybe you need enough room for the download + additional room for the download to be extracted. This would also explain why factory resetting your phone will make the update work (clears all apps, causing all available memory to free up).

On my first attempt, I had only 5GB of free space (not including the downloaded update file). After moving all my personal files to my computer, I freed up an additional 4.5GB. Maybe that'll be enough, so I'm trying again. I now have ~9.5GB to work with. If that won't work, then I'll uninstall some apps I guess.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] draconas:
Installed the update with just clearing cache. Only problem I had was the need to reset my lock screen wallpaper as the lock animation wasn't showing up. Resetting fixed it. Beyond that, can't tell a difference really.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] andy_d0:
Just got the message that it's downloading but not sure if it's actually downloading anything. Just keeps saying it's trying to connect when I go to check update

I ordered a Nexus 6P because I can't take the performance issues anymore. I wonder if the update will address any of the issues I've had with the phone for a while now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] omair2005:
Yeah I just used sdmaid and cleaned up some myself, I had 5gb now I have 8gb internal space.. Going to try third time

Edit: update installed fine, I clicked restart instead of letting it reboot after the update downloaded, if that helps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
AH HA HA HA!!!!!

It worked this time!

So it seems you need somewhere between 8GB and 10GB of internal storage space for the update to work. I can't say for sure exactly how much is needed though.

So if your download will download and fails during installation, try moving all your pics, movies, music, etc to your computer and trying again. Free up 8-10GB of space. After the update, you can put everything back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] omair2005:
Anyone try kingroot or kingoroot on this update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
Doubt it. I mean, the update was just released today and most of us just installed it or are still trying.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] andy_d0:
Failed twice. Now have to wait 24 hours till I can check again for the update. Great. Maybe AT&T should have taken longer like they usually do
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] nani4215:
It was installed successfully in 4th attempt after freeing up some space on the device. Maku sure you have atleast 6GB of free space before you begin with the upgrade.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jbeef86:
Nah you don't need to free up that much. Mine failed with 1.5 gigs so I removed some games and files to get to 2.5 gigs. Went thru with no problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] DennisOC12:
Change the time and date forward under settings and it will let you try again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] lacz713:
you can manually change the date a day ahead and you can retry again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] GranoblasticMan:
Ugh, I REALLY don't want to have to factory reset, as that would mean redoing all my Authenticator connections. I'm going to try decrypting, then try updating again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] FLASHnox:
Update stopped and didn't continue when I left home to work so I set the day ahead and tried again on work WiFi. Everything went smooth and performance is noticeably better all around. Will update with problems if they occur.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Robert542:
The update failed on me 3 times with 4.1GB of free storage. The 4th time went off without a hitch but I had freed up 7.78GB of free storage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] keithfrombm:
I got it and its running smooth as silk right now. Who knows how long that lasts though. I'm a little disappointed that there weren't as many cosmetic changes as I expected like the keyboard for the S 6 perhaps, but overall the phone definitely feels like it's performing better--even injustice gods among us loaded faster than it normally does: a good, solid 60-90 seconds faster!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] andy_d0:
Thanks guys. That worked. Will try again now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Kamau54:
I just got the notification this morning for it (haven't been here on XDA for awhile,so I didn't even know an update was coming), and it went through without a hitch. Took about 15 minutes. Checked in settings, and it says 5.1.1. Now all I need to find out is what it was for..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Falchion17:
Just noticed this too, will wait for some feedback before I download.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Kamau54:
Wish I would have waited myself, but it's too late now. Guess I'll just have to hope for the best.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] varuun:
It downloaded update of 680mb but when it tries to install it says update failed. Any fix for that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] andy_d0:
I think I had this same issue. I noticed I had 4gb in my download manager cache so I cleared that leaving 8gb of space. install went through

I believe I've had this issue before. you would think it would actually say that you need more space instead of trying to install and fail
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] skamus:
Can anyone please post the Odin files for this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Kamau54:
Does anyone have a change log for this update? So far, I see the recent apps is a bit snappier, but that's about it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Robert542:
Make more storage available.

Or if someone has a idea what I can do to make it work… pls… and thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jbeef86:
Wow. Been written many times already. Set your date 1 day ahead and check for update. That will work. Remember to set date back afterwards.

Addition: make sure you have enough storage available or it will fail again. 3 or 4 gigs should work. If you don't have that available hit up settings>app manager>all>download manager>clear where it shows this app gobbling up a bunch of gigs.

Decrypted my phone, I had 7.33GB free, and it still failed at 1% (after downloading). I went to Storage under Settings and cleared ALL cache. With 17.99GB free total, I set my date ahead to re-download the patch, then after it completed downloading, set my date back to the correct time (automatic), and made sure it was plugged in (charging) before I rebooted. It finally installed properly.

No idea which (if any) of the steps I took (decrypt, free more space, set date back after downloading, keeping it plugged in) actually helped; I really wish they gave users some kind of error message so we wouldn't have to resort to voodoo to try to get an update to work.

I didn't do anything just dl ad installed fine the first time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Gordonson:
I'm not sure that the failed installs are a matter of space if people with 7+ GBs of free storage are having failures while mine went off without a hitch at maybe 6.5 GBs of space. Whatever the cause, I hope everyone having difficulties can get their updates installed soon.

After a few hours of usage, the biggest standout is easily how smoothly it runs now.

Oddly enough, it was mentioned that Multi-Window was being touted as a new feature on the last page despite us already having that; I definitely noticed an information prompt about it the first time I pressed the Recent Apps button yet nothing seems different about it aside from the aforementioned speed boost.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] gwimsa2:

All attempts I did manually reboot, did 1% except last one, which failed then pushed to 3% oddly enough.

Go AT&T.

Fifth time's a charm apparently. Seems a bit faster, but I'm probably going to factory reset anyway. Haven't gotten around to it since the 5.0.1 update, sigh.

5th attempt: Left phone alone for the most part while downloading update; left clock set ahead while downloading and updating; cleared cache right before download was finished; hit restart button instead of letting it restart on its own. Also 13.27gb free.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Dr. Evo:
5.1.1 update went without a hitch, with the exception of the download was very slow and took a long time. Flawless install on the first try. Had to free up several gigs of space, though, to try and ensure I would have no issues. Glad that the recent apps button is now instant. I think there are some slight S-pen enhancements by looking in the menu. More haptic feedback options. Hoping battery life improves, as well.

What about battery performance to 4.4.4? Battery life and temp root still keeps me on kitkat though camera quality ain't that so great either
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ng4:
Lollipop battery life was always better than kit-kat for me, that is stock completely though with some disabling unwanted apps. 5.1.1 just made an already great lollipop experience even smoother.

Enjoying 5.1.1 so far. Hate it took so long. Way more fluid. Can tell the memory leak fix has made a difference. Have had it updated for a day now.
