New kit kat build

I'm running a UK tesco moto G but have had the retail German kit kat firmware on the device for the last couple of weeks. I've just been prompted about a new update, screenshot attached. Looks like a new build of kit kat but I don't speak German. Should I flash this or try and pull the update?

i guess i have the same problem as you. It is downloading, at least it says so in the system update menu, but i can't see progress. But i figured that might be caused because i rooted after the kitkat ota.
So is it possible to download the ota if someone posts it here and flash it via cwm without losing root?

I have done a factory reset. I have the 174.44.9 version.... i go to the System Updates and now it tells that is up to date! LOL
May they canceled the OTA?

I can translate for you:
"Here are some Highlights of this update:
- Android 4.4.2 KitKat, the newest Android version.
- New Phone Application
- Hangouts now support SMS/MMS
The detailed list of changes you will find in the "version hints"(not sure). "

Has anyone installed sucessfully this OTA, or is everybody being stuck...?

The changelog is just the standard kitkat changelog. It is not a real changelog for this bug fix release.

I rebooted my mobile and I get google play update for gallery and motorola assist. In options still have old system version and in system updates still saying it is being downloaded.

Reboot doesn't fix it. Only hard reset!

Capturing the July OTA file, need a volunteer

I believe the URL for the July update file can be found using the steps below (credit: troyboytn, from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s6-edge/general/to-mm-download-link-t3371830). If anyone running the June firmware or earlier could try this, it would be a huge help to those like me who have not received the July OTA yet for whatever reason.
If anyone is currently running the June firmware, I believe we can find the download link by initiating a manual update by dialing *#8736364# in the dialer. Click "Software Update" and the information we need will be the "Server Address"when "Result" is clicked after download is initiated.. You will only get this info if your firmware is not up to date. .

Anyone who can relieve the OTA can.

Here is the PG1. Used winrar to add all 4 odin files to this download, they must be extracted.
Also maybe someone can host this, not sure how long Dropbox will be working before bandwidth is used up.

Anyone with root can capture the OTA. In fact if someone does get it,most likely I can make a flashable zip from it. I have done this many times before. Someone with root download it to the phone. The OTA file should end up in fota. After that we should be able to just upgrade with a zip and still keep root. Im already on the newest build but ill make the upgrade zip for everyone.

No they did not block all downloads, they just block ability to download from they servers to PC/Mac/Phone by any browser. You can get OTA if you trying update as you should by checking OTA's in settings menu in phone.

You can root by installing TWRP using ODIN.

Updated my phone (which is not on Sprint Network as I live outside US) and must say, I'm quite impressed. There are no noticible UI changes but the system feels more snappier than before. I guess the Doze settings have been worked too because of which battery life has improved a tad bit.

Anyone know what Sprint meant by "Resolution to lock screen production issue"?

How can i root if i have this current version can anyone help me?

Flash TWRP with ODIN and then flash SuperSU zip through that recovery.

Do you guys capture the download link?

Does anyone have a link to download it. I would prefer to not have to put my phone back to full stock to get to then reroot and set my phone back up.

Used to get lock ups/crashes every day on MM until this update. Haven't had a crash since PG1 flashed. Maybe that's what
"Resolution to lock screen production issue"
meant.

Hot-spot mods of previous builds will not work. If you want, you can use pdanet or FoxiFi for it (no need of a rooted phone).
For Xposed, you can flash the zip available on XDA but you will require root for it.

PG1 source code isnt out, so developers will be behind still.

Well you gave me hope and i found some site called devlab that had a tutorial with comments. In the comments i seen mention of an 85.1 alt version that a few were able to install. Short story : I got it installed and im happy on pe2 using the alt version

86 updated version works best. And is newest.

With a size of 477 it's probably just a security update, but my phone is running nice and smooth after the update. Probably just a placebo effect.

Not sure my phone can live though an update to Nougat. It took 6 months before Google fixed the random reboots on MM (PG1 was the first really stable ROM). PH1 runs fine, just keep the security updates coming a while longer.

Can anyone confirm, that this update doesn't mess up the wifi tethering mod.

The hotspot mod still works

Did an OTA download for this and was wondering am I good to install it, even though I'm rooted and running some Xposed mods? I'll do a back up and see what happens.. But was wondering if I should bother?

No. You have to be on the official unrooted and completely unmodified stock rom with stock recovery for it to work.

Can someone upload this?

Where did you get hotspot mod from? I didn't find any PG1 hotspot mod. I am running PG1 stock debloated rom by saintz.

I still have hotspot mod from before marshmallow 6.0 update ##data# with msl code. After marshmallow the fields to edit are now greyed out. Mine is still intact on stock rom.

The battery life on this particular update is horrible. PG1 was the best update till date by Samsung on Marshmallow.
For guys on PG1, my suggestion would be not to update to PH4.
Also, PG1 has the best signal reception & voice quality.

pg4 so far so good. HOW DO I ROOT? help appreciated.

S5 SM-G900F firmware upgrade issue and don't know latest OS-version

Hi there,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F) which has a 'firmware upgrade encounterd an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again' problem.
I have tried the Kies-method. No result. Device isn't recognized by Kies and I don't have an recovery code.
Now I wanna try the Odin method, but for this I need the latest OS-version before the error occured. And this one I don't know, because I am trying to fix it for someone who has no clue. Probably it was running on a stock Vodafone ROM and probably the latest version was Lollipop. But like I said, that's all a guess.
I have read that I need to be sure about the OS-version, because otherwise I might brick it permanently.
I can get into download mode ... at least that's something.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to bypass this? Or can I figure out what firmware version it was on in some other way?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

w/odin you can flash any android version just as long as the fw is for your s5 variant.
sometimes if not always going back to an older version than whats on the phone then a factory reset is usually needed after the flash
if odin sees the phone in dl mode then you should be good to flash.
backup the sdcards b4 u proceed

Thanks, will try it tommorow

Reading it back makes me some what nervous, because a guy named Emily J. Fox wrote this about it (not on the XDA forum but some other website):
Select the Correct Firmware Package version
From these step it’s also been crucial if you just grab any*firmware package*without knowing which one is the correct version to choose. So that is why I want you to know the correct*Android version*first. *Now, let say *if you still remember that your version of Android 4.3 Jelly bean before*you get the*firmware upgrade encountered an issue then you may only restore your device to the official Android 4.3 firmware. Same as it goes if you also have previously on Android 4.4.2 KitKat, then you may also only restores back your phone to the official 4.4.2 KitKat. *If you already on 4.4.2, you cannot actually downgrade back to the old software updates like 4.3, mark my word don’t do it.
So you understand I am a bit reluctant.
Can you take away my fear?

Say for instance I flash a Lollipop Vodafone rom, but instead I should have flashed a universal Kitkat rom (I mean no provider specific rom).
What are the chances I brick my phone permanently?

your phone is safe if you let ODIN default options
For example, Tab Options > Repartition normally is untick, if you tick repartition and you select a wrong ROM, you can brick your phone
Likewise PIT tab is very dangerous and if you aren't sure what are you doing with PIT tab is ver ysure you can brick your phone
NAND erase all? Do not you dare!

users brick phones by using wrong fw(fw meant for other phones) and/or options in odin.
going forward or back in android versions will not brick phones via odin if using the correct phones fw.
just use correct fw for your phone and only use the "ap" button in choosing the fw within in odin3. should be exactly like the pic below
afaik if bootloader is not locked you can go forward and back in fw versions, afaik the g900f does not have a locked bootloader.
either way it wont brick your phone but maybe just wont allow you to go backwards in versions.
feel free to correct me if im wrong
