[Q] Upgrade 4.3 with root - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My bank has released a new app which is only available on DVU1ANE1.
What's the best way to get this update with a rooted device? Do I simply download the firmware, remove recovery and flash SuperSU?
Or is there a better way to do this?

Surely there is someone who knows the answer to this seemingly simple request?

Doesn't seem very simple at all. I don't understand the question...

I have a rooted 4.4 S5. I want to update to the latest firmware available, but need root.

Flash a Rom based on that firmware?

I like stock, so it wasn't an option. Needless to say, the ROM selection for the S5 is rather low when it comes to quality. I prefer to stick with a stock ROM.
Anyway, I flashed the official ROM, los root and used Geohots Towel Root. Worked a charm on my G900i.

Can´t update GT2

Hi, I got an update (i think its 4.0.4) for my country and I couldn´t update it. I clicked on install but in recovery it was aborted. What is a reason?
I have clockworkmod + root. I tried some ROMs but i want to stay beside samsung fw.
Thx.
Hi.
I think you have to be on stock unrooted firmware with stock recovery, but i'm not sure.
OK, i have backup of stock rom, but how i can delete custom recovery?
What device do you have?
GT-P3110

Then, the easiest way is to flash either RomsWell or Tab2Lite RC3. They are all stock JB ROMs
I would like to instal stock rom, is it possible to restore recovery? Now i have clockwork mod and because of it i cant update to 4.0.4 and then to 4.1.1.
Hi. I wondrer if you managed to fix your problem? I have the same situation and I'm looking for a way to fix it.

Use ODIN to flash OEM firmware. Lots of tutorial information on this site. Please search.
Cheers
I don't care about the stock ROM, I just want to get rid of the update notification. Is there a build prop edit that will do it? If so, could someone explain how? This is how it was done on my old Dinc, so if there is a simpler way, let me know. Thanks.

People need to be more clear , give more detail when you ask a question. You should not be getting update notices if you are not on the stock firmware. If you are on a custom ROM and still get notices, ask the OP developers of the ROM why.
Sorry, I am on stock firmware, rooted with CWM recovery. I rooted before I took the update. Now It nags me to update, but won't allow it. I will probably look for a stock 4.04 ROM, but was happy with it the way it is because it is for my 8 year old. I was in the same boat as the OP. Thanks.

Well, I have Root + CWM, I was wondering the same because I didn't want to try the update on my rooted P3113 to avoid any problem. Finally I decided to try it because the notification was getting me nuts. It downloaded the update, tried to install it and gave me an error message. Told me to try the installation manually with Kies and stopped appearing

That's why I said you have to, if you want 4.4.2 rooted that is the only way.

you can wait it out and see if someone comes up with a method (kingo, vroot) to root the 4.4.2
otherwise the 4.3 / flashing modified 4.4.2 is the only avail exploit

No problem, it's a pretty simple process and doesn't take long at all.
Thank you. I was also having this same question. I will now downgrade and start over.

So if I was to walk into a Verizon store today and pick up a n3, which version would it be and would I be able to root it?

It would be 4.3. Verizon hasn't officially (as of this past second) released the OTA/Release for KitKat 4.4.2) yet.
This find was pure Gold.

Hello guys I have a NB1 bootloader S4 Running AT&T firmware. The model number is SGH-i337 I am rooted and i have safestrap installed. I still have the stock recovery built into the phone which i can still get into with any method. My question is that I want to install pac rom that runs android 4.4.2 kitkat firmware. Is it possible?

I am a big fan of the pac rom and i just got the s4 2 months ago, am i too late to install it?
Peace, Jon
We cannot install any firmware that isn't compatible with our kernel. That means only touchwiz based ones will work.

Only when the bootloader gets unlocked, and it won't be anytime soon.

[Q] [QP] Can I flash roms?

Hi all, I am fairly new to this whole rooting process for android devices, since i have just recently purchased a galaxy s4 from at&t. Just a few days ago, i've decided to root my device, and after hours of researching i came across geohot's towelroot program and successfully rooted my GS4!. Now i want to install a custom rom, and i would like to know what kind of custom recovery can i use? and am i able to install the cyanogenmod 11? I have downloaded the cyanogenmod installer and it says my device is not supported, but i read on their wiki that i can install it manually but i don't know if my current build is supported by Clockworkmod, or even TWRP for that matter. I havn't flashed any roms by the way and i don't plan on doing so until i am almost certain that i can flash it without bricking.
I am running kitkat 4.4.2 Samsung SGH-I337, my baseband/build number is I337UCUFNC1
Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!
We have a locked bootloader. So, stock kernel and recovery cannot be replaced. The only recovery we have is safestrap.

Ahh that sucks thanks for the info. Hopefully they will find a way to unlock it in the future so I can install the cyanogenmod.

Custom ROM

Alright, so I FINALLY got my S5 Rooted, but now I just need a custom rom. Which one in your opinion is a better option and why? I've heard cyanogenmod is good but I can't seem to find that in Lollipop at all so I either missed it or it's not available yet, so i'm lookin for some other opinions.
SIde note: I myself got use to Lollipop, is there a way I can upgrade to that and still keep root?

We have a locked bootloader so you are limited to the Roms we have here. Yes you can upgrade and keep root. Find the rom you want to run first. This will help you decide which lollipop firmware you want to run. Roms found here.
