[OTA Captured] German Retail 4.4.4

OTA for German Retail version from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 started to roll out finally.
Download:
http://d-h.st/gUF
The name of the file is Blur_Version.176.44.1.falcon_umts.Retail.en.DE.zip - as always - it is named after the firmware being updated not after the target one.

Were you on stock recovery but rooted when you got this OTA?

I got this Update today too.

You can always GET an OTA but you won´t be able to install it in some scenarios.
Your system partition has to be mostly untouched, but root and Xposed Framework won´t cause any problem. You can use stock or Philz Recovery.

Also got the update but the installation is failing due to unexpected changes to build.prop. I have removed xposed and anything else I can think of that may have changed the system partition but still no go.
Any ideas? Maybe someone could post their build.prop?

I'm also getting the update in The Netherlands. Bought my phone online amazon.de :laugh:

Well, I can, but can you tell me why are you asking?

I'm rooted and installed the stock recovery then tried doing the Ota (I'm on stock rom if it matters) and it gives an error, just "error" no more information during the installation process.
Anybody can help?

hi, i have an error with the ota update to 4.4.4 myself, my phone is unlocked and rooted (mostly for xframework, xprivacy and gravity box). now i would like to know if i can use the version you have posted?
do i need to reinstall anything after the update? also i would like to know where that version you posted is coming from (is it clean)?
thanks in advance!

Yes, you have the right version of firmware for this OTA, don´t know why it´s failing for you, there´s too much variables, it´s hard to tell.
As to where the file I posted comes from - it´s right from my phone. Until today morning I was on French 4.4.4, then I flashed the German 4.4.2 firmware to look if I could catch the OTA and it really came, I pulled it from my /cache and posted here. Check out the MD5 sum: d289331e52d0f79d2bcc4b9b390ff338
It´s the same on my local copy, on the cloud copy I posted and also look here:

Apparently the update rolls out depending on that 4 numbers, i think it started from something like 3550 and mine is 3593 so i wanted to see if it is close to my number if you get what i mean.

Why so sceptical? Apart from a different dialer GUI, there´s not much difference you can really feel on 4.4.4, basically there are just some bug fixes.

Perhaps you need to uninstall and remove the modules and the xposed from the system before updating. Xposed and the modules add / modify system files and other sources in the device. Make sure you unroot as the last step as well. Stock recovery is required to install the OTA successfully

New T-Mobile firmware update is being pushed out

N915TUVU1ANK3
Just installed it, and everything is running great.
Maybe this is the battery update that the Note 4 received right after release?

I just turned on my phone a few minutes ago and saw the update.
Honestly, I wanted to check here on the XDA forum first to see who installed the UPDATE for the phone, because frankly, after the recent Lollipop UPDATE that Google sent out to their Nexus line of devices, and the HUGE DRAMA with system BUGS, I'm leaning toward conservative -- even though I know this isn't a Lollipop O/S update.
UPDATE: I found the link on T-Mobile's website, and they say, "This update provides Chinese language support"
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-18152

Went ahead and allowed the update to be applied but because I have already rooted it the update wouldn't take.

That's it? Language support? I installed it hoping it was a battery improvement like the note 4 got straight out the box. This sucks if true.

Just a few more days and I will get home to my Edge that is sitting in its box. After setting it up I am going to use your root method.

Saw the update this morning when I got up and this popped up in the googletron. I know it's for the Note 4 but I'm wondering if any of this garbage will happen post update... Anyone have any issues like stated in the article?
http://www.tmonews.com/2014/12/t-mo...e-malware-installing-apps-without-permission/
Please note that I am not rooted yet, had an issue with my accelerometer with my first Edge and I'm giving this a few weeks to see if anything crops up first.

My girl got this is morning. Nothing on my phone but i havent check either. I always wait until i get the info on xda first.
But with it just being language support i doubt i will be looking for it.
But im also willing to bet its a patch for something and they just dont want to say so.

Hi, feel like an idiot having to ask this but I'd rather be an idiot with a working phone than one without. Anyhow when you say update via ODIN, which slot am I putting it in to? Or maybe the better question is where in the CF Rooting process does the zip or rather md5 file get flashed?

That would be step -1 (step negative 1) right before step 0... You will start by flashing via Odin the newest NK3 firmware... Then continue the whole guide. Any questions, just ask.

Just to let you know, I flashed this lollipop tar using odin 3.09 with no issues. I tested lollipop for a few hours and then returned back to stock kk using Kies extracted tar successfully too.

Thanks for posting this! I was unable to update to Lollipop over Wifi/OTA. AT&T was of no help, the Samsung rep at Best Buy just looked confused when I asked if they could flash my phone (He said he'd download the latest version, but didn't think 5.x would be available yet). I had ever used Odin before, but installation was easy, and my phone seems much faster. Battery life seems a little worse tho.

Did you use Titanium to restore your stuff? or just started from scratch both times?

Where did you get files to downgrade from? Many people wanting this update and mine was forced. Hate it. My phone is now sluggish, battery life severely affected and the modem is crap. I can't even send a text message from my house. All these issues were non existent before upgrade.

KingsRoot will give you "TEMP" root on 4.4.4 which is the "ONLY" method available at this time.
This thread is an extension to that where it removes kingsroot and applies SuperSU
BUT the device has to be on KK

Are you using the latest USB drives and are you using the "ISSUED" Samsung cable? I know i have gotten several problems with ODIN if either of those are not right.

5.1.1 finally available! build G920FXXU2BOFJ

Here's the official Android 5.1.1 firmware, G920FXXU2BOFJ, truly meant for G920F. It's an Odin flashable TAR.
*Before* you go ahead and install it, know that you root is not available yet. Of course, it's a matter of time Chainfire figures his way out, but it's not possible right now. Further, you *CANNOT DOWNGRADE* to 5.0 back. So, keep these two things in mind.

About the root, I think that you can install twrp(I havn't test it because I don't want to loose my warranty)

Anyone have SM-G975U1 beta ota.zip?

I was one of the ones that ended up with a bug that wasn't allowing me to register for the beta. I was wondering if anyone was able to save the ota so that others can update to it.

Or the U1 for S10. Thanks

Waiting for one as well but I'm afraid nobody is going to make them...

Seems Nobody wants to put Beta up for us to download for S10!!!!!

Xag and xaa are the same don't sweat it just be aware how you downgrade and make sure to check the md5 on those files for integrity. Remember if your not a official beta member your most likely not to receive any updates and you may have to hope you can flash back to pie without a hitch.

I meant to ask, where should I look for future update zip files for the U1 model of the phone. This is the first beta update.zip file. We'll get a second one very soon and I don't know where to look for one because I don't want to be stuck on the first beta.
On my old S9 it was fairly easy. It was the international version, finding zip files was as easy as opening XDA. For the U1 version... oh boy I gotta search everywhere literally.
