I downloaded this new Verizon update but not sure if I want it to install since I don't know what Verizon is updating, the only info on the update is that Bluetooth is updated. Is it possible to delete the download so it doesn't install or can anyone offer any info about the update? I still have unlimited data and don't want that to change.

Is there a limit to the number of times Sprint will push an OTA update to a specific phone?
I'm not receiving the MDL update anymore, and manually checking says I'm up-to-date, but I'm not being at MDC. I received it the first time and installed it, but as we all know, it broke root access and closed the motochopper exploit. So I reflashed the stock ROM and wiped everything, got the update again but ignored it. Well, I reset my phone again, and now that I actually want to install the update, Sprint doesn't seem to want to push it to my phone anymore.
Edit #1: Saw this thread: New Update is here! Here is how to force pull an OTA update. But I am still curious why Sprint isn't sending it to me automatically if anyone knows.
Edit #2: Woke up this morning and the update had been downloaded. *shrug*
Hello,
Yesterday I received the 4.4 update on my N4 but it wont download. It says it is waiting to get it over a WiFi connection which I wont have in time.
It also says that it will be available until tomorrow, the 27th. What does that mean? Does that mean that I wont be able to download the update at all? Is there some way I can make it download using my mobile data plan? I do not want to flash, root or rom it. Basically, anything that might void my warranty or cause a wipe of data.
tl;dr How can I make it download the update using my mobile data?
Hi, not sure if there's a more specific sub for this but I'll start here:
I have an AT&T branded S4 that I unlocked to use on TMobile.
Its currently running 4.2.2.
Some of the apps I need/want don't support lower than 4.3 so I'm trying to update.
When I do it cuts off checking and says its been interrupted try again in 24 hours.
Is there any way for me to update my phone without rooting or that business I'm not very capable or ready to pay someone outrageous fees to do a simple upgrade.
Thanks for any help!
find the update.zip for your firmware and apply it via recovery, you need sdcard for that
hey guys i recently rooted my phone and then saw that 5.0 came out i wasnt able to find any reputable info on un rooting my phone so i could do the over the air update from verizon. however there was 2 updates available from OTA , one took me to another version of 4.4.4 and un rooted me. my boot screen still says custom but i no longer have root. however the ota 5.0 keeps failing. i figured maybe i can up date manually but the only site that has 5.0 for dl is sammobile and their site is down. all the other sites i found seem to be scams or want you to pay for faster dl. i dont care if i even have root any more i just want my phone on 5.0 with out loosing all the data on my phone. does any one have a link for instructions to do this? and a working link for 5.0? thanks
bump for help
Can you not boot into custom recovery twrp/safestrap? I Just re read your post, I'm assuming you can. So do that, and make a backup of /data. In addition it wouldn't hurt to use a usb drive or computer to back up any important files.
You say you want to be able to update without losing your data, I don't know if that's possible.if that is a real problem for you,I'd advise against modifying your phone in the future.
You didn't say why the update is failing, what is the given error message? Have you read the Verizon s5 forum?
I know when flashing, firmware updates can be 1Gb - 2Gb file sizes. When you take that same update OTA, do they send down the entire firmware file, or just the sections that need updating? This 910V is the first phone I have never rooted, and have never taken an OTA update. When I bought it, it was on 5.0. I downloaded the CQC1 firmware and installed it updating it to 6.0, via Odin. It tried to update itself immediately after I rebooted. I disabled the updater until I did some homework, as the thing was relentless about updating and driving me crazy. I see now there is CQD1, CQE1, and CQF2 available. My problem is, I have a crap internet connection (1.5Mb) and am wondering if it has to download that hug file anyway OTA, if I wouldnt be better downloading it myself and installing it via Odin.... rather than an OTA update that gives me no info on progress etc....?
So:
1) OTA or download and install it/them myself
2) If installing myself, Where is the best place to download the huge file, without having to sign up or be throttled?
3) Is there anything in these newer updates that warrant updating, or any problems that arise from them? Or is it wise to just stay on CQC1 which is working without a hitch?
Thanks for any help.
