Firmware update downloaded.

I just recieved a firmware download on my wifi 32 gb note. Did not install it yet but want to know if others did?

I can't yet because of root. I need access to my computer.

Installed it...

I got it also. 16gb u.s. Wifi version. it was installing & updating android apps as I left out for work.
Any changelog on what was changed or added?

I want to install it but will a root method be made for it. I am not near a computer to use the zedomax root method. Anyone had root while installing this?

suppose I will be able to tell you soon. It would not install originally because of CWM recovery. I flashed the stock and it is installing via Kies now. Will report back whether or not I get root back.

I downloaded and installed, not rooted 16gb.
It said it was bug fixes and about 50mbs or so.

Downloading it now. Will install shortly.

Edit:
Installed, must have wiped cache as all apps went through the updating process. No noticeable differences or problems. Seems to be a tick faster but that's probably just my perception.

I got a notice this morning about the update being downloaded, I don't have root yet, so I installed it.

I hope one of the fixes is making bookmarks appear quicker in the stock browser.

I wonder exactly which bugs. I hope that folder & keyboard bug got fixed. the one where they open by themselves when going to homescreen from certain apps or whatever. it was getting irritating having to constantly close them. Lol

OK, as expected, lost root. Odin flashed the original cwm recovery back. reinstalled the original root file and and back to being rooted.
Still 4.0.4.

All you had to do was use voodoo ota rootkeeper to backup n restore root file. access to computer not needed.

I was previously rooted with CMW Recovery [N8013]. I then flashed stock [N8000] firmware and the update failed. I have not used kies before, will that install the update correctly? Thanks

I used OTA rootkeeper as specified above. If that does not restore root I can re-do the Odin. Thanks

How did you flash back to stock? I didn't think we had a completely stock 8013 image yet. I tried reimaging via the root injected stock file, but it did not remove CWM, so the update won't load.

ye i just did it and i lost root but the first thing i noticed that is working faster. also the snote app was update you can upload your own template finally. when choosiing a background on the window pop up touch the little square image on the top right corner and it lets you choose from images in your gallery.

got the update.. while installing my phone shuts off? now it won't turn on or even get into bootloader?? my battery was at 80%? wth am i hard bricked?? i was on stock 4.2.2 unlocked bootloader and non rooted.

Yup got the update an hour ago, but I'm bummed that I lost my big font settings (was previously rooted), now I gotta wait til 4.4 gets a root, even with "large" font settings in both display and accessability, it's too small.

Just got the update as well, disappointed with the camera still.

Ouch, had you done any upgrading or downgrading or flashing in the past? Do you get anything when you plug it into a PC, if you do it can likely be restored.

Mine updated. Happy to finally get the smart dialer - something HTC has had since Froyo. Not a great fan of the all white notification icons, but I'll get used to it.

What did you do to flash back to 4.2.2? That raises a red flag for me as the upgrade to 4.4.2 would have incremented the bootloader version and from what I can determine you can only safely downgrade to 4.4 (Yes I know there is no 4.4 for Rogers)
I would say it is a brick for certain at the moment, but there is a chance you can recover it, check this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2629057

I also got the update! I'm on Rogers. When I tried applying it, the phone went into an endless loop of booting up into the OS, and then "Powering off." I fixed this by restoring to android 4.2.2 through RSDLite, but I'm wondering if anyone can help me out here. I don't know what is going on...

Try holding the power button down for up to 1 minute. A few times if needed, while connected to the computer via USB.

First I would uninstall xposed or anything like that. Then, I'm assuming you have an unlocked bootloader, so you would need to flash the the 4.2.2 (I assume that is what you are on?) recovery. I'm not sure if having root will do anything. If so, then you need to reflash the stock kernel and then clear the cache and you should be back to stock. Alternatively I think you can also use a tool kit.

Are you rooted? Try fastboot erase cache hopefully that works, otherwise its fastboot erase userdata and bam factory reset list everything. Its bootlooping due to root or a bad system file

Sprint 4.4.2 is here.

Before downloading the OTA from the below link, please take note:
1. This is an OTA update (not the full firmware). This means that...
2. You should read the whole OP of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2639102
3. I am not taking responsibility for bricked devices.
4. This ZIP is not flashable via TWRP/CWM/PhilZ...stock recovery is required.
Here is the download link: http://goo.gl/D14Q5X
Thanks to nomad 64 for this.

I went through the update on my device. As it has been noted before, stock recovery is required. However, I did keep root through the process...woot!

Can I flash just stock recovery without flashing anything else, and if yes were can I find it

Just curious... how did you root? unlock your bootloader and use customer recovery and SuperUS? or did you use SlapMyMoto? if Slap... I've seen reports of still having root, but write protection being enabled again so you can't do anything with /system and the like..

I'm on Verizon not Sprint but I still consider this progress, happy and a little jealous of you guys!

Yes. Reference the "Returning to Stock" section of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2603358. You have to download the whole firmware package for sprint, which sucks because you only need one file. After you have done what you need to do with TWRP/CWM, reboot your phone into the bootloader, then simply run
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot

I unlocked my bootloader and flashed SuperSU. I live life on the edge!
At the time of the upgrade, I had flashed stock recovery and unfrozen Sprint Zone. I had also completely removed Xposed (uninstalled modules, disabled Xposed, and flashed Xposed-disaper.zip). I still had other root apps installed when I took the upgrade (TitaniumBackup and ROM Toolbox Pro). I have verified that they still work post-upgrade without additional work on my end.

If someone gets a copy of the ota zip faster than i upload it please message me a copy of your link and i will update the original post with it.

Dang it! Where's the AT&T one! First to get the phone, last to get the update.

Cool. That is what I expected, and even if you lost root, you can just redo the custom recovery & SuperSU to get root back.

At the risk of sounding like a newbie, what are the steps to perform the update. I am coming from a Galaxy S4 and have only did OTA updates as they came. I just got this Moto X about 3 weeks ago during the $299 off contract price (couldn't resist). I would love to go ahead and do the update. My Moto X is stock, unrooted. Thanks

You need to have a completely stock system and the stock recovery installed. I manually flashed with super user still installed just fine but everything has to be completely stock straight out the box. To manually update you just download the zip in the OP.
1 boot into boot loader by holding volume down and power button
2 use volume key to scroll down to recovery press volume key up will put you into stock recovery with the red triangle.
3 to get to the menu screen in stock recovery you must hold volume key up then press power
4 choose to install from SD card and navigate to where the zip downloaded in this screen power button is used to select your choice. I moved the zip to the root of my SD but it usually will be found in downloads.
5 push power button to install ota manually. Be patient it will take a minute
I had it abort on me first try cause I forgot to change my fonts back to stock so be sure you are bone stock no tweaks or even V4A installed with STOCK RECOVERY.

That's OK with the apps from the play store and amazon just things like exposed modules and viper 4 android have to be uninstalled basically anything that modifies your system cannot be installed. I did have Super user installed when I applied the ota with no problems though

Android 4.4.4 seen by OTA update on my GPE!

I have my AT&T HTC One converted to Google Play Edition since a while now, and I just saw the system update notification and see the 4.4.4 with just 17MB, I've downloaded and once it rebooted, something happened with the zip and cwm recovery, which gives me an error. I was too excited with the update to take note of the error, and since I rebooted again and check for a system update, it shows me my 4.4.3 as current.
I'm just notifying it.
I have no idea if this helps anyone.

return to stock recovery, and see if you get the ota link,if you get, download and sideload it
or otherwise you need to wait till next batch of rollout (remember, google sends updates by baches till everyone gets)

or just flash it manually then in recovery !
http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/htc-one/m7_google/

Side load it with stock recovery. If stock HTC recovery doesn't have sideload, you can flash it from your internal SD. No need to wait for a notification.

I have an unlocked bootloader and d/l the factory image for 5.1. I extracted the .img files and flashed them with fastboot. Also flashed twrp 2.8.5.1 and supersu 2.46.zip to get root. Everything is working very well and is much snappier than 5.02. You probably have changed something in the /system folder. Flashing the system.img will overwrite whatever is messing up the update.

Since 2 days my grouper wlan is showing the notification that the system update android 5.1 is available.
I never did a ota update. I always used a flashable zip via custom recovery. The groupers bootloader is unlocked, rooted, a custom kernel and custom recovery installed. Can I do the update or must I undo all?

Thanks for the info on the new OTA.
My N7, grouper, has always been stock, except for being unlocked/rooted. I've always taken the OTAs in the past just fine. Clearly I don't know about this one.
Based on that history, my guess is that, at the very least, you're going to need to flash the stock kernel and recovery to take this one. Time will tell...
cheers,
