Can you get to download mode? If so just Odin back to stock. The tar files are included in the all things mk2 guide.

. If you're back on mk2 stock with no root, then you can take the OTA Kit Kat update.

Of course.
What can i do to make the update with cwm recovery ?
Thank you.
i got the same problem , cant upgrade the cwm gets it back and upgrade fales all the time.
I had the same problem updating to 2.3.6. OTA update downloads, but crashed during the install. Fixed it by downloading a stock (updated) rom & flashing with CWM.
U can find the stock roms here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Just make sure u read the instructions thoroughly.
OTA updates are usually patch files, which expect to find a completely unadulterated /system partition -if you've rooted, this won't be the case so the OTA will fail.
If you are rooted with CWM, you are *always* better off waiting for someone to repackage updates/ROM in CWM format.

Dave
Don't do it! I had the same issue as OP updating OTA but was able to do it via Kies. I wish I didn't! My update broke root access (went from KK1 to LA2) and now I'll have to downgrade via Odin to get my root back

I'm not sure, but I think if you have the stock ROM and kernel you would still be able to receive OTA updates. However installing them might unroot your phone.

Flash a stock firmware back to ur phone using Odin
Reset the device from settings / accounts / backup & Reset ur device should be official and u should be able to get OTA
for firmware link check my signature
Note: do not use triangle away for ur variant its not supported
Can I do this simply by using Triangle Away with i9505?

hi. i rooted my phone and managed to download the MEA to MG9 OTA update, so i might help. download the cofface recovery from http://link.and-share.ir/uploads/cofface-S4-recovery-en-V3-0-zip.zip and flash with odin. then boot into recovery (turn off the phone then hold volume up and home and power) then select unroot from recovery. then turn off your phone and flash the official status mod http://d-h.st/1lt. then reboot and install the OTA. after updating you can root again just like i did,
have you tried the "full unroot" option in chainfires superSU?
easier than flashing a new recovery...

appears to be working kudos smashersh72 very great full for your help :victory:
When Kies upgraded the firmware it updated the bootloader. Unfortunately you are stuck on Official firmware MHG8 and higher. There are some roms out now with an official MH8 base and you might be able to flash the CM110 roms BUT at this point
Omega is MH1 base so you can't flash this...
so i bought a used att already rooted and had recovery.
dont know what kind of recovery and i flashed TWRP through goomanager.
installed went great rebooted, now its stuck on start screen with RECOVERY BOOTING.
any help?
i can still go into download mode
should i just start new and reflash with odin? can someone point me to the right direction please.

Need more info to be able to help you, like what firmware are you on? mf3 or mk2? Once you figure that out the just Odin back to stock with the tar files posted here on XDA. Boot loaders are locked on both mf3 & mk2 so no CWM, no TWRP. Safestrap is the only recovery that works. I suggest Odin back to stock & start fresh.
i really dont know what firmware i am on...
which files should i flash??

Lol depends what firmware your on.
If you were on mf3 or mk2 with locked boot loader than that's why your stuck.
download amdl and mk2.. Bc the bootloader isn't all locked up its worth a try. If amdl fails in Odin then try mk2 and you should be good. But your boot loader will be locked tighter than a nun from a convent.
You really should have read around or asked questions before trying anything. Could have been avoided

Okay that is the leaked version of Kit Kat 4.4.2. So you need to Odin back to stock with the above tar files for mk2. You can then use this guide & either root, install Safestrap recovery & then a custom rom of your choice listed in the guide or you can take the official OTA 4.4.2 Kit Kat update. Good luck.

Not happy with KitKat. Would like to revert back to JB with cleanrom. Can anyone help?
Are you KK via OTA or did you upgrade through a ROM?

Upgraded through rom and Odined firmware.
Then you can Odin back to JB. Just flash the tar file found in the development thread and your back.

If I Odin flash the MJE tar, will I lose root?
Yes you will. The tar is a stock file. Just use the root method you used to root on JB
i want to do this aswell but my phone and computer wont recognize each other. i tried uninstalling all drivers and reinstalling them including kies3. even with debugging on still no connection. this is weird because it used to work without a problem.
