Verizon i815 ICS Update request

Well lo and behold I am being offered the update to ICS. I have a rooted HC w/ CWM installed (no bloat removed) so I assumed that I wouldn't get an offer to update. Anyone know if I can locate the Update file anywhere to share?
Update: I located a FD01 to FH10 update that s 29.3MB in the cache folders, so I'm guessing that this isn't the ICS update (or maybe it is). Anyone have thoughts on this one?

Just downloaded and installed. Still at 3.2. Haven't noticed any real changes, so maybe just an incremental to get the tab ready for ICS.

OK, so it's not the ICS update then. I have it saved on my SD card and can upload if any devs want to take a look inside, if that's even possible.

Verizon is using Odin to push the update. Mine notified me and when I responded it rebooted to the boot loader then rebooted to 3.2. I did a manual reboot power + volume down and it entered Odin. I thought this was wrong and called tech support. They said it was correct and I should leave it on the download screen for about 20 minutes while it downloaded the update.
Right now I'm waiting to see if it completes.
According to support when it reboots it will have its.
This is different from my other GT ics updates but tech said they were having trouble with the Samsung servers so they changed to Odin.
We'll see soon enough...

That's an old update. What we are awaiting is LP10.

So I waited to install until I saw hkusp's post and then tried and when it rebooted, it rebooted into the v5.5 CWM that I have installed (didn't upgrade to v6 yet) and said that the update failed. Now it can't find the update.....I guess I can wait to see what happens to other folks.

Attempting the odin method now to see what happens.

Someone needs to find a way to capture this odin file.

Same thing happening here. Just got the update... ran it... still at 3.2. Rebooted manually (after the initial reboot)... nothing new. Rooted phones before... but have left the 7.7 alone so running stock.

Odin has been running 45 minutes. Support called me back and said leave it. The update is 250mb or so and if it's coming through my lte here it will be a while (I don't get great signal in my house) . Support says 20 to 45 minutes is the he norm.
My Odin screen just says downloading with no progress indicator. Is anyone seeing something different?

Something ain't right. I am not saying don't listen to support.
But I don't think there is any radio or wireless access in odin mode. you can only"download" over USB, or perhaps, from the sd card.

I have been "downloading" for an hour now. No changes, no progress bar, nothing. Will probably keep it up until I head out for the night and then stop it.

I didn't / don't think there is support for networks in Odin either but I'm just passing along what level 2 support told me. I have 2 other gts (wifi) only that have gone through this update and it wasn't like this. The tech told me that Odin would use WiFi or cell depending on what's available.
I've lost faith on this pass and I'm waiting on a call back from support to restart the process. She said if it didn't work I'd need to do a factory reset and restart the process.
This tab is a week old so I'm good with the reset I just want it finished.
Has anyone completed an update.

You can exit ODIN by simply holding down the power button until it shuts down then powering back up. It won't wipe anything out your GT will be as it was.

I did a factory reset then tried again. No dice.
Support called, they ended up calling Samsung who said they were getting reports of the failure and the the update was available via kies.
I called Samsung and level 1 support has no record of an update being available.
I tried kies and I've yet to get the i815 to connect properly.
That's enough for now. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

i'm getting the Yellow Triangle which means error once it enters Bootloader. I'm also getting the same 29.3mb download before reboot. Tech says on twitter it might not be completely available yet to try tomorrow. I don't think Kies works with the i815 does it?

I've always got a "your device is not supported" pop up when trying to connect to kies. :/
I have not tried connecting for this update though.

ATT Samsung Galaxy S4 - can't update via OTA

Hi Guys and Gals,
I have an ATT Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-i337 with Android 4.2.2 but I can't get the 4.3 update via OTA. I tried forwarding the date to update to MK2 but it says my software is up to date. I tried using Kies today, but it won't show any updates.
Anyone have a method of upgrading from MF3 to MK2 that is not OTA?
Please let me know if someone can help me with a step by step guide.
Thank you!!

I have the same problem, sometimes it will find an update and download only to do nothing. I think this is a problem with att's crap servers/update system.

AT&T OTA Failboat
I've tried three times now to update my wife's S4. The first time the download started, then just disappeared. No warnings or errors. Tried updating and it said to wait 24 hours. Next day I started the download again. It got to 23% then said interrupted. Clicked the software update again and it started again, but stopped at 24% saying download failed. Then it said to wait another 24 hours.
Fast forward to tonight and I tried it again. I got 100% of the download only to get a screen that said Software Update Interrupted and to try again in 24 hours. The wife doesn't want me to root her phone, so I'm trying to do this the "normal" way, but AT&T and Samsung seem intent on not letting this happen. If the file got to 100%, is it still on the phone somewhere? If not, is there a link to download the update so I can sideload it and instructions on where the file must be placed?

I was able to get the OTA on the second try. What worked for me was to leave the phone on the charger and enabling the "stake awake while charging" option in the developer options. Don't forget to turn that option off after the upgrade.

Wifi Broke after OTA MK2 Update

My wifi is grayed out and i cannot connect to wifi
from reading other threads, I think i have to flash the firmware or modem in order to fix this, but i cannot find the firmware or modem files for my phone nor am i sure if i could use the firmware or modem from a different carrier =S

You generally can't take an OTA update with root without fubaring something. Try to flash this file in odin v. 1.85 http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SPH-L720&details=Galaxy_S_4_Sprint
This is stock no root and SHOULD fix your problems.

Same issue!
I'm currently having this same exact problem! I rooted my phone for the first time a few months back and all went very smoothly. I then tried to unroot it to install the update but ended up having to wipe my phone and I somehow deleted the update ZIP file. So I couldn't find any solution to my issue (although, I hadn't really looked into it as much as I'd have like to). But all failed and I ended up speaking with Samsung Tech Support at a Best Buy yesterday. They flashed the update onto my phone for me and all was well until I realized my wifi was no longer working. Whenever I try to push the wifi button it selects but automatically deselects right after. Even when I go into the settings, it's greyed out. I'm in the process of downloading the stock firmware and I am going to flash that and hopefully all will be solved. Will update when I see results!

Sounds like the rom is corrupt or not present, you would need to kies or odin back to 4.4.4 and reapply.
If you cant do anything BUT download mode, you gotta get odin and go to sammobile download your phones official rom and apply it. After this you can attemp the OTA update again.
PLEASE READ THE GUIDE CAREFULLY as this procedure is risky if done wrong or on a bad usb connection.
Lollipop uses a new system it's not a normal update.

Don't use Kies , use Odin.
Kies can easily break your phone.
Just use Google for ROM searching and install them over Odin.

Good to hear it's fixed, Kies is a "supported" program so when it screws up you usually can get it fixed for free. Odin is not (even though it works better)

I signed up but no email back or anything since.
I'm actually based in the UK. I constantly check for updates but nothing yet.

I signed up yesterday, but i don't receive email from lenovo.

Well I got the update 3 days back. I am glad to say battery back up is a lot better. Also reduced the heating issue.

Does it voilate warranty ? Fedback of update , specially cons , as its a daily driver.
Thanks.

The review of update is also available. Check the link below for more details.
http://thinkflag.blogspot.in/2017/04/lenovo-z2-plus-official-nougat-update.html

I can say, the heating problem is reduced, battery back up is much better. As for the new features I guess screen video recording and split screen are the 2 features which is noticeable easily. I didn't find anything special other than this.
Also one bug I found is how it shows duplicate notifications for emails and chats from whatsapp allo etc.
For each message it shows 2 notifications which really clutters up the notification area.

I am not facing this calls issue. Another good thing about the update is the upgrade for the camera software. Notification bar is a complete mess. I asked them why don't they stick with the Android 7.0 default notification tray. Go ahead and ask them yourself or call them and let them know.
May be they will listen to us once they have had enough complaints before they release the final version.

You have to replace the updater-script of the ota zip file with the one provided in that zukfans thread
and then try to flash via stock recovery

Just copy the "update.zip" to the root directory ( the path which is the first when u open ur sd card).......
