When I had root and recovery an OTA Update came up like 2-3 days ago and I decided to update but I stuck at bootloop with TWRP but anyway I fixed my phone and flashed the kdz Stock Firmware. But now when everything is okay and I go to the Update Center there's no Kit Kat update on there and it says I'm with the latest OS.. I tried updating over PC Suite but when I try to search for an update it says It failed connecting to their servers and nothing happens.. Is there something I can do about?

I had rooted my note 3 sm-n9005, and I cannot update via OTA. Hence I update to the latest firmware via kies 3.
After update via kies, the root is gone.
I thought now my phone was back to stock, I tried again update via OTA, it still failed. Said my phone is modified. I wonder,didn't I update back to stock firmware ? Why still saying it is modified?
I checked my current binary and system status in download mode, they are custom, why they are not stuck as I already update to the latest firmware?

i thought if i reflash to stock firmware i would be able to OTA
So now Odin will be my best friend while updating xD
Means once I rooted my phone (No matter I unroot it after that),I will never able to update via OTA right?
Hey guys,
I have been for hrs trying to find a way to update to Kit Kat to no avail.
I was on Kit Kat on my D800 but decided to try CloudyG3 rom to get a feel for the G3 interface etc.. but, I didn't like a few things and wanted to revert back to my stock Kit kat since I have a backup.
I was able to use the TOT method with LG Flash tool etc.. but the only stock firmware I was able to successfully install is D80010o. I have searched and found a thread explaining how to install Kit Kat, but the link to download the version is not working and the mirror takes you to the jelly bean ones.
I can't update it via the phone as an OTA update either. I need to get back to Kit kat so that the backup I made will accept the restore of my old settings.
How can I go back to stock kit kat, please help me find a way. I will greatly appreciate it.
thanks
Why can't you update it via an OTA update?
root, autorec and install a rooted stock rom

When I check it tells me there are no updates available for my phone that I am up to date at 4.2.2
maybe it is because I messed with flashing the baseband? It says I have version ending 1.0.190034
Are these the files you downloaded?...
LGD800AT-01-V10o-310-410-OCT-19-2013.zip
LGD800_20130904_LGFLASHv160.dll
... then used LGFlashTools v1.8 to flash the *.tot per the instructions in the second part of the OP in this thread:

that's exactly right.. although when they send you to the link to download the TOT file there are 2 tot files. One is the one you showed here and the other is V10d with a date of August. They do not specify which to install. I did it with the V10d. then trying to fix it with the V10o but the flash tool would not install it and gave me an fail load error. so I kept it at V10d. Now I am stuck with jelly bean apparently?
See if you can get this method to work...

hey man.
I tried it and the LG mobile tool said that My device has the latest software available from LG Mobile support Tool. and a pop up window says "no upgrade items to fix"
Gotta tell you though that today I had a message on my phone saying I had an update available and when it booted to the android logo to start the process it said that my phone was rooted and that I can't get the update (because of that)
So I probably need a way to just unroot my phone and get back to completely stock as If I was starting from zero.. Is there a simple way to unroot?

Edit: After 20c is flashed and says it is up to date, just contact AT&T and ask them to manually push the 20u update to your phone. That is what I had to do.

Currently running G900FXXU1ANE2 on an EE branded S5. (Previously rooted with towel root and supesu)
keep getting notifications to update firmware but when I do it via OTA it comes up updated failed connect to kies (on PC) the problem being, I don't own a PC so that's not an option
I've tried installing mobile odin via the play store so I can install it manually,but when I try to open it, mobile odin just force closes. I've tried unrooting and re-rooting to see if that fixes the odin problem but to no avail.
Any suggestions on how to update via OTA/Odin without a PC or any other solutions?
Thanks

Well OTA`s can`t be installed if you are rooted and changed the system.
The lollipop update for the N910U in New Zealand this morning bricked my phone when I installed it this afternoon. I then went back to the latest 4.4.4 update and factory reset the phone and tried to install the 5.0.1 update again this time via ODIN, it got halfway through downloading the system.img before failing, so I reflashed the latest 4.4.4 update and tried again via Kies which also failed and this time when I try to reflash the 4.4.4 update it fails as well.
Now I'm currently trying a Software Update and Initialization via Kies, if it doesn't work what can I do?
EDIT: Changed to a different computer after trying all USB ports on my main one and it worked in ODIN.
I'm trying to update to Lollipop but via OTA it shows an error message, which says to try again later or use Samsung Kies
I tried installing Samsung Kies, but it also shows a failure message (I'm using Windows 8.1).
How can I update it?
Most tutorials for installing custom roms, twrp, etc need to be in the lollipop.
