I'm on G900VVRU1AN12 and I unrooted my phone with Super SU so that I could take the updates. I didn't care about losing root. However, whenever I try to install the updates, it says the update has failed. How can I get the update to install?
You have to either flash a stock ni2 tar with Odin and take the ota or flash an oa8 or oc4 tar (depending on which you want) with Odin.

After reading a few threads about the new OTA, ive decided I want to try to get the OTA update. I am already rooted on beanz b4 with mj7
Per my understanding, i need to do the following:
Backup my current beanz rom
Download MJ7 stock .tar file
Go into odin/download mode and push the file through
Reboot
At this point i should be stock?
Take the OTA
reboot
re-root using kingo
install safestrap 3.65
Restore my beanz rom after kingo root.
Are these steps correct? Just want to make sure so that I dont brick anything.
As far as Odin / download mode, I have never used it apart from checking my knox counter.
How do i push the mj7 stock .tar file in? Is there a special windows application i need to do this?
if you have a microSD, you can back up everything to it, then take it out, flash MJE from ODIN, now re-root, flash SS, then flash beans 4. it's easier and perhaps potentially safer to just ODIN flash the MJE tar instead of flashing back to MI7, waiting for the OTA, taking it and continuing. Id link these but im new. If you go to original android dev for this phone, youll find a thread beans has made with the latest ODIN, and all the TAR files.
I am currently rooted, safestrap, and running Hyperdrive 3. To get to an MJE based rom can I just flash the MJE Tar in odin or do I need to remove safestrap, flash stock MJ7, then flash MJE?
The full MJE tar will be fine. It'll flash the newest radios, upgrade the kernel and newest firmware. You can then simply re-root and ROM away. You don't NEED to be on MJ7. It'll probably be best to do a factory reset after flashing MJE in ODIN after the phone boots up the first time. I've noticed ODIN doesn't always remove data or added system files previously in the folder. Not sure if ODIN flashes /userdata.img

Yeah I almost always clean flash so in this case it is a no brainer. Thanks for the info
Ok so I did a idiotic thing... Did towel root on stock 4.4.2 G900VVRU1ANCG then before installing supersu or anything accidentally ran OTA (G900VVRU1ANE9)
Now phone keeps looping and installing updates...
It tries to boot normally then says booting recovery at top then starts installing updates again...
What to do now?

boot into download mode and reflash NCG. if that doesn't work because of the partially installed NE9 try flashing NE9 in Odin
Will I think I have it somewhat fixed... Just downloaded stock NCG and then extracted the system.img.ext4 and followed the guide from skipsoft using their toolkit to make the system.img.ext4 odin flashable.
Flashed only the NCG system.img back to phone and that worked.
Now phone is operational and all apps etc still there but I have build and kernel NCG but baseband is NE9
So now if I root on build NCG then try to OTA to NE9 how do I avoid boot loop this time? Will Supersu allow me to OTA and is there a method to keep root? ( I know how to flash the kernels and re-root --- I'd like to just keep root if possible.)

flash the full NE9 in Odin, then flash the NCG kernel, root, then flash the NE9 kernel.

lmao.. you did all that for no reason.. all the odin roms, kernels and modems are all available already..
You flashed ne9 kernel/rom so you need to flash ne9 modem/baseband..
For future reference, its easier to start on ncg root install ss.. then flash rom.zip of choice and flash the odin firmware for it.. its real easy and u can go from ncg to nk for example without worrying about an ota
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

I unrooted my phone and flashed it back to NI2 using Odin and wiped all my data. Can I, while still in this mode, flash the latest stock rom with odin (Lollipop BPB1)?

If you want the latest stock rom (unrooted) just take the Ota or you can download and Odin. If you need root rom , just root , install recovery and use safestrap and install the latest root pb1 rom.

You can, but then you can never downgrade back to NI2.
If instead you want to retain the ability to downgrade,you can either 1) root the NI2, install SafeStrap, and then install a rooted PB1 ROM, or 2) Use Odin to flash a modified PB1 stock image that has a BOD5 bootloader.
