Hello,
I have a MJA rom (with TRWP) and rooted. I never updated it in past, but i want to upgrade now.
I understand, we need to have stock recovery to flash the new updates. I searched a lot and couldnt find it. Could someone please help me out with this?..
I dont have any issues with KNOX .. etc
Just need safe route to upgrade to new version on my s4(and root it back).
thanks!!:good:
You first need to upgrade your phone to NAE via Odin to return your phone to an unaltered stock condition. You can get the tar file from random45's thread in the android development section. You will not lose data with the update, but I do recommend you use Odin 3.07 or 3.09. After you are updated to NAE you will have to goto settings menu and select samsung software updates to check if NG2 is available for download. After you update you can then use cfautoroot or towel root to reroot your phone. If your rooting to use the hotspot hack, just upgrade to NAE, since there isn't a hack for NG2 yet.

Thankyou for the detailed post. I was finally able to update without any serious issues.
1) flashed NAE through odin. No issues, no errors. successful flash.
2) downloaded ng2 update.zip from here and tried installing it from recovery. Errored out. (dont remember the exact error)
3) went back to recovery -- factory reset, wipe cache, restart and try update.zip . same error.
4) started up phone and checking if all is ok, saw the baseband still showed MJA while software showed NAE.
5) Odin'ed the modem/firmware of NAE.
6) checked the status and it showed upgraded baseband.
7) I then went to recovery and retried NG2 update.zip again & updated successfully.
8) rooted with CF auto & restored apps and data from titanium.
Is there a way I can get the NE9 stuff without wiring in & using Odin ?
Or is that kind of the way since the bootloader is still locked flashing via recovery won't work ?
I flashed Beans's NE9 rom which was apparently a mistake since the Baseband still says NCG
I don't get the OTA update on my VZW S5 , even the fact i am on NE9, tried several times to get it via software update from the device - no luck , not working.
so i thought to flash it manually and need the "how to do it" steps.
I found the 4.4.4 OTA zip file.
Can anyone be kind and guide me with the steps how to manual flash it ?
is it done by the loading the zip file to the S5 and flashing from recovery or it should be done via ODIN ? please advise & guide me how to do it.
Currently i am on the NE9 stock - UN rooted
I'm on NGC stock rooted..how would I go about manually updating to the 4.4.4 update.

I managed to upgrade to 4.4.4 by downloading the full firmware instead of the OTA and flashed it via Odin 3.09 and it worked like magic
its was as easy just to download the file from the link below , unzip it and get the md5 file and flash with Odin 3.09
I was on stock, un-rooted , 4.4.2 , NE9 and upgraded to NHA
The full firmware can be found here

I'm trying to attempt to update to Lollipop via the method on this forum.
However my phone bricked and I had to factory reset all the way to NCG.
However after I installed NHA, the baseband version continues to say NHA, despite me flashing NI2 and NK2 right after.
Is there a problem or is this normal?
Any ideas?
Try reflashing the corresponding Firmware via Odin for the current Build you are on. The Firmware, not just the Kernel.
You can find Firmware files in the Odin back to stock thread.

I made these odin flashable firmwares for those who need them. This is only the stock firmware for Lollipop 5.01 build OB7. (NO system or data partitions) If you need to flash the stock OB7 firmwares then this will do that for you. This will not wipe your system or data.
Once you flash the "OB7-FW.tar.md5" you must reroot and flash a custom recovery if you want to flash custom roms etc. Simply odin flash cf-auto-root and the latest recovery by TWRP and you'll be back in business.
The OB7-modem.tar.md5 requires no extra steps... it's just the modem.
I have tested these packages on my Note 4 running OB7 firmware. Note: If you are on OE1 firmware, you will NOT be able to flash this OB7 firmware successfully due to new security measures in the OE1 bootloader.
OB7-FW.tar.md5 This tar package includes all of the stock OB7 firmware including kernel,modem, recovery, bootloader, etc. Please flash this in odin on your PC ONLY!
OB7-modem.tar.md5 This tar package includes only the modem and HLOS patch. Can be flashed with odin on your pc and also mobile odin.
Gonna try

ive been searching but can you help me put stock 0e1 recovery back on my phone i forgot to factory data reset after i updated to 0e1 and rerooted and now my phone is super buggy and i think its because i didnt wipe on stock recovery which usually fixes my problems. thanks if you can help or not. ive wiped on twrp of course but my stock rooted 0e1 rom just isnt right idk but like i said the stock recovery to me really wipes evrything. ive tried aosp roms but there even more buggy can you please help thanks
No one has it yet
Right. There is no official tar ball available for OE1 firmware. OTA is the only way right now and nobody has pulled and uploaded the update zip for OE1. Im afraid you're gonna have to try the OB7 official rom tar or else you're stuck until a tar pops up somewhere. And that may not happen for OE1.

Thanks for the report. Which software version are you currently on? Extension OB7 or OE1 ??? You must be on OE1 because it flashed successfully on my OB7 software. I will upload another version for you to test.
Yes, I am on OE1, I will gladly test for you. Just keep me posted.
So just to clarify, if I am on KK, I can ODIN this then cf auto root then TWRP? And don't take the update to OE1 because it's not worth it?

Ok, don't mess with this, it's for a different purpose. Read the OP in @tx_dbs_tx 's hybrid X 2.2 rom thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2956667
Read the OP carefully as there is a VERY specific procedure (it's easy) you MUST follow to move up to lollipop.
Stock tar in the OP here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3056478
If you'd rather have a stock rom instead of hybrid x download the stock tar and follow tx's instructions to the T in his Hybrid-X OP before flashing it or any lollipop based rom.
Remember, you MUST flash the stock OB7 tar BEFORE flashing any lollipop rom.
EDIT: If you decide to go stock, do not take the ota. Once you cf-auto-root & odin twrp you won't have to worry about it anymore. The same with Hybrid-X. Once you flash that no more OTA worries.
Did u find the hidden image ??
I'm not going to pursue the OE1 secured bootloader thing. We will have to wait for an official tar ball and rebuild roms from it. Until then I'm staying on my OB7 rom.
I dont quit but thanks for your efforts
