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. .

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.

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?

Thanks man. Once you upload. PM me the link. So i can figure out if they blacklisted the kernels and if increased aboot counter. If they DIDNT we could enjoy root as well as custom ROMs.

They don't even have root yet (6+ months after release!) :/ So it wont matter for them if they upped the aboot counter/blacklisted kernel but for us its a huge deal!!

It has actually been released. As per Sprint's device updates page for the 720 and the 720T...... Release Date: 5-20-15.
As for receiving the update, it could be 3-4 weeks before every S4 is served the update as it rolls out in stages, but indeed, some devices will start seeing the update today.
And again until someone actually receives it, it has not been released, only announced.
Anyways, this thread is pointless there are already other threads with discussions about the update, no need to start more. And you definitely don't NEED the update, you want it, your life doesn't depend on it.
In the meantime, Albe95 is 5.0 TW and is running great

It will be available on the forums in a few days most likely, you won't be getting a PM with the ROM before it's posted elsewhere for everyone.
If you want the ability to take an ota update, make sure you are 100% stock and unrooted. You can flash a stock tar to get to that state if you need to.
Edit: you can ask someone who has received the update to post the file or do a system dump

If one theoretically wanted to procure the update, an individual who has already updated to lollipop 5.0 could flash back to 4.4.2 using sammmoble firmware and Odin 3.0.9 on the PC with phone in download mode, factory reset if having boot problems with phone's recovery, check for the update again, perform an OTA Capture BEFORE downloading, copy the URL, install the update to 5.0, maybe factory reset again for completion's sake, and publish the URL here or upload the file to Dropbox, OneDrive, etc. for the rest of us. Such a job would require more time than most are willing to offer. But I will state my theory because I am egar myself. Best to you.

However, if there is a new bootloader in the new update, which there almost certainly is, a flash back to 4.4.2 would most certainly fail with other possible major issues incurred...including but not limited to a brick. No one should attempt this. We will get the new firmware and 5.0 rom soon enough.
This is how I get back from custom ROMs. Odin on the PC and download mode. Went from 5.0.1 GPE to TW 4.4.2 myself. No brick. Are you sure? Don't try the mobile odin.
But I stand corrected: Google OTA Capture. Post the URL if successful. Must be done BEFORE you hit download!

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"?

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.

Even if you update, you should be able to Odin back to the root file...as you can odin back to the original official tar. The update only adds wifi calling and some smaller fixes.

So it allowed you do download the update while you were rooted?
Out of curiosity, where on the phone was the download stored?
Oops, just read more carefully, you don't know where it is. I have pulled them before, but don't remember where. It's not the obvious places like "Download". I think it was in a cache folder. Use a root explorer and look around in the system folder.

I'm not rooted, i downloaded it bit didnt install.
I used root explorer and searched "update" no update file was found.
Does anyone have a suggested keyword i should use to search?

You could try ota or fota
I'm pretty sure it is downloaded to the system folder somewhere (cache maybe?). Without root, you'll never get to it.
I figured as much but it seemed like people were interested having non rooted people look.
It's odd cause this is the first non rooted phone I've ever had. I'm holding out to see if we get the boot loader unlocked and custom roms. If not I'm going to skip root this time around.

I'm in the same boat. I need my Gear S to work and it doesn't with the rooted rom we have now.
I'm surprisingly happy with it unrooted. I did buy Adguard, because I can't stand ads. Other than that, all good. If my plan didn't include HotSpot, it might be a different story.
