[Q] How to Manual update the NHA (Android 4.4.4) OTA

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

[Q] Installing stock recovery

Hi i have installed TWRP on my phone but I can't use OTA. I want to ask - if i download lollipop rom from samsung, extract stock recovery.img from ROM archive - will it work flashed by flashify?

Since you need to download a ROM anyway to get the stock recovery image, you might as well get the latest ROM for your device and not bother with the OTA. Simply download the complete and latest ROM package for your device from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com and flash it through Odin. Afterwards, root if desired and replace the stock recovery with TWRP.

Update Problem

I've just bought an S5 G900F Euro version which had Kitkat on it.
Tried to update Bootloader&Modem so that I could install Lollipop ROM using odin.
It didn't work and phone wouldn't reboot.
From Samsung website downloaded latest Firmware G900FXXU1BOD3, but odin keeps failing because of ext partition.
I installed TWRP, rebooted to recovery, it automatically fixed partion, rebooted but stuck on boot screen.
Re tried again once partition was fixed got the Android is updating but is now stuck on "starting apps".
Any suggestions would be very welcome.
Thanks.

You didn't need to update modem and BL to upgrade from KK to LP
Anyway, try flashing the PIT file along with the stock LP ROM (Same time in ODIN)

Thanks for the link for the PIT file and information.
Phone now working.
The reason I wanted to update bootloader+modem was that it was a requirement of the ROM I wanted to install.

Help please fast

Hey guys,
I installed xtrestolite on my G900F and changed the bootloader and modem of my device before installing it. First problem i had was with CSC. It is a single CSC and i couldn't install my countries CSC on it. That's why i went back to stock. I installed Kit Kat firmware that i downloaded from sammobile and then changed CSC to my countries CSC. Then i updated firmware to lollipop using Kies3. But installing stock rom didn't change bootloader version or modem version. Now i have kitkat bootloader version, kitkat baseband version and lollipop firmware version all different and i want to them all to be the same(latest lollipop). Is there any way to do this without downloading stock rom from sammobile again ? And if not, then can i just put the tar.md5 file that i will download from sammobile in bootloader, pda and CP at the same time and install with odin ?
Thanks in advance !

You do not need to re-download or re-install your ROM. You need to download your bootloader and radio from somewhere, then flash those with ODIN.
Just an FYI, the modem doesn't always like to stick so you may need to flash (auto-reboot disabled), pull the battery after odin says "success", then flash again immediately.

Hey thanks for the tip ! I just downloaded stock firmware but i don't know how to extract bootloader and modem from tar.md5 file and then make them odin flashable. I uploaded image with all the files that are in my tar.md5 file. What of these are for bootloader and what for modem and how do i make them odin flashable later ?
Thanks in advance

Flash done with stock rom

I need samsung galaxy m30s ins stock recovery file only....I installed twrp but failed to root now I want to remove twrp so I need stock recovery...image of build number has been attached.

I know it's a lot but if nobody sends you the stock recovery maybe you should try downloading the whole firmware and extracting it yourself.

I already flash stock rom thanks for replying... close this thread....
