VZW OTA 4.4.4 Failing everytime - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For some reason the OTA for 4.4.4 fails every time. Even after unrooting and resetting in to factory.

You may have modified the system or unistalled apps or bloat that the update is looking for. Flash the no wipe NE9 tar in Odin then try to update, worked for me perfectly

I bit the bullet and was willing to lose all data. I odined back to stock/clean wipe and went through the rooting process with no problems. TiBu didn't find my backup for some reason to restore my appz but not that big a deal. Just went to google dashboard and restored them from there. Phone is working fine. The update DID take quite a while to install though and I thought it was hung up. Left it be and it completed.

no wipe tar.
I have looked thru all threads and cannot find the no wipe tar. Could you plz point me in ther right direction.

2.2.2 update not installing.

I'm trying to update to 2.2.2, I downloaded and installed the first update, and I can successfully download the froyo update, but it won't go all the way through. It will finish downloading, prompt me to install, then power down to install, but when it installs it gets to about 35%, then shows the triangle with the ! In it and reboots. I'm rooted with stock everything, and have system reset twice hoping it would work. No luck.
Is anyone else having similar problems?

I had the same problem at first, but then this is what i did:
flashed ec07 odex
flashed dl17 odin image
then i just restarting the ota
If you still cant get it to work you can always flash the cwm files or odin files in the development section. But i would try ota first

Okay, couple of questions:
1. What would flashing the ec07 odex do?
2. What exactly does OTA stand for?

Josh, I'd grab the ec07 odex, flash it with PIT file (repartition off), then dl17 odex, flash it with no PIT file then try the OTA
I have the same prob. Is it failing, do you think, because the phone is rooted? I haven't tried any reimaging, just rooting.

Your problem is probably due to the current ROM you're using has removed some of the bloatware. When you remove bloatware you are unable to update your phone.
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA
Actually I'm not running a custom ROM. Literally all I've done was run a root tool, then installed Titanium Backup Free.
I'm going to try and re-image the phone using the stock DL17 but I'm not sure how. I've got the instructions for installing the rooted EC09 ROM but I don't think I'm supposed to use the I500.PIT? Is that specific to EC09, or is it specific to the phone model (and independent of ROM)?
UPDATE: I just realized there's a DL17 .PIT so nevermind! I'll be sure to use that.

If Odin fails when using the DL17 pit just try again without the pit.

That one is not something I'm gonna try to cover in a post, if you are as inexperienced as you proclaim. If you want to come into IRC, I'll try to help ya out. That being said, googling 'ec07 stock odex' brought up the exact thread you need. It was the first hit.

[Solved] get back to stock firmware

[Solved] Need some help..
I want to get my ATT galaxy s4 back to stock. I searched for a lot online. Basically it needs Odin and a downloaded stock firmware.
My question is does it work even for my phone currently is CWRP recovery and custom rom flashed? Does the Odin flash the stock recovery to the phone?
Thank you so much!

heh we cool, um, it does not remove the recovery, but a hint here, odin back to stock, go into recovery after and factory reset. If you are wanting to remove everything including recovery, there is a thread or 2 with info on that.

Thank you very much! Still have a question..After I go to recovery and factory reset, can I get OTA update?
since the OTA update would check for system integrity like recovery.

I have heard different stories on that, the one that I think is if you are rooted and recovery installed, your status would show custom, so no updates.

Asked someone if OTA is available after, he just said "should be" which is risky for me...
The goal is to get everything back to stock and question is can "Odin+stock firmware" achieve... I am so confused..

Hello,Sir~ Thanks for advice!
Do you have any idea about the boot unlock image with word "custom"? I found something online saying that even if you flashed a stock firmware
by Odin and reset factory in recovery, it could be still there and probably related to some files be signed or not by samsung.. Any suggestion?

There is a way to get that to read normal, but you must first get back to stock. Start there, and we will get the other taken care of.

You can find more about the process by reading this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261573
If you want to be 100% stock like you were out of the box, you can do a factory reset/wipe in TWRP and then ODIN back to stock.
Factory reset will wipe all of your data - some of which is causing the custom icon at boot. You can wipe the cache and davlik cache as well to be sure.
Next, ODIN will remove root and custom recovery afterwards, leaving you completely stock.
My understand is that if you don't want to wipe all your apps and data, you can ODIN back to stock and then manually remove the files that are causing the custom icon, but I have not tried that.

Yeah! I got everything back to stock 4.2.2 UCUAMDL. The lock custom logo is gone. I checked for OTA update, but it said the software was up to date. Obviously it is not the latest. What can I do to get the latest update?

Phone is stuck at "Recovery booting". Help?

I tried to use GooManager to install TWRP, and now every time I try to reboot, the phone gets to the "Samsung Galaxy Note 3" page with three lines at the top - they say:
Recovery booting.....
Recovery is not seandroid enforcing
Set Warrant Bit : Recovery
I was on the leaked KitKat firmware. Can I fix this without losing everything? Or should I just restore the 4.4 using ODIN and re-root?

If your still on MK5, you can place the 4.4 zip on your phone and flash it that way.
If your MK5 was rooted and you did system changes, ODIN back to stock 4.3 and then install the 4.4 zip through recovery.

"verifying system...

installation did not work
hmm, have you check play store for an update to hangouts?
The other issue, after an ODIN flash to 4.3, do a system reset from the settings>account area.
That should revet any changes that you did.

no problem! glad I could help! Hit that THANKS button though, I could use all the rep

Rooted, used an app to turn off services and now I can't get in my phone

When I go to turn it on it gets past all but 1 of the boot stages, the very last one, right before it goes to the lockscreen.
I installed this app called "Disable Service" by "WangQiTools"
and I turned off a few services under SystemUI (5.0.1) like an idiot, I think they were keygaurd and something else but that's whats causing this
I tried safe mode but it still wont let me enter
If I could maybe get some help reversing root or uninstalling this app to revert changes that would be great

Galaxy S4 I337
Stock rom
Do you have a back up of the data? Which version of the stock ROM is it running?
To quickly solve the issue, I recommend re-flashing the existing ROM; however, this may cause a loss of all data on the phone.
If you are running a stock 4.2.2 or earlier ROM, I suggest flashing the 4.2.2 stock ROM from sammobile.com using Odin.
Unfortunately, AT&T never released a full ROM after 4.2.2. If the phone is running 4.3 or newer, you will need to look at these threads to re-flash:

yeah its running 5.0.1 lollipop, I unfortunately don't have a backup.... is there any way to just unroot it? I can't afford loosing all my data, its very critical to me
whats the risk of reflashing
Reflashing may still not allow the phone to boot without performing a factory reset from stock recovery which means losing data.
Apps are usually uninstalled from the ROM settings. Unfortunately, that option isn't available at this time.
Did you try wiping the cache?

Unfortunately, I don't know of any way to get pull the data from the phone and I don't think Kies or SmartSwitch will help to restore the phone.

alright well, since it already can't get past boot, should I just try reflashing?
I think re-flashing may be the only way to fix the issue.

The OP's phone is an sgh-i337 with a locked bootloader and, so far, there is no way to unlock the bootloader.

what rom do you suggest I flash, and how should I go about flashing it? do I just boot the phone into download mode and use odin?? I've never done this
This may help as there is a link to the full NB1 firmware for Odin: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-to-update-to-i337oc3-5-0-1-keeproot-t3075814
Notes from the linked thread:
If you are not already rooted (or to unbrick) you must first flash the I337UCUFNB1_Rootable_Full_Odin.tar (use Odin's PDA slot (AP in Odin v3.09+

okay so I am rooted but I am bricked, so I'm guessing I have to flash I337UCUFNB1_Rootable_Full_Odin.tar regardless of the fact that I am rooted? also this scares me --> "3. No need to wipe prior to flashing! The ROM will automatically perform a factory data reset."
