Hello guys,
I'm from China and bought my Droid Turbo 2 as a second hand item. That seller has disabled the software update function of it, so every time I tap on the software update option, it will "check for update", then tell me my system is "up to date", even until now I'm still on android 6.0, 24.14.11.kinzie_verizon.verizon.en.US version.
I tried to ask him how to repair it, and the only solution I got is factory data reset.
I don't want to lose any data on my phone, my contacts, sms, purchased apps and game progress, blablabla. Thought I can download the OTA files and update it with ADB, or maybe I can reverse the seller's modification on my phone. Could you guys please help me find the OTA files in the list:

Or maybe you can teach me to lift that fake 'check for update' curse? Thank you!
hello mate,
1.You could try to find the disable apps in "settings"-"apps" and enable them. especially look for the ones that have names like "update" or "system"
2. if that does not help, you might want to consider use the Software Upgrade Assistance (SUA) from Verizon.
Here is how to enable the SUA: https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-116673/
you could also check here: https://www.verizonwireless.com/dam/support/pdf/system_update/BPOD-H9887-SUA-moto-V7.pdf
3. Maybe someone who could pull the update and upload it, then you could flash it with RSD Lite software

I accidentally accepted an OTA update a couple of days ago that has really killed the performance of my phone G4. It' been very snappy up to this point. Apps take super long to open, and texting lags for several seconds. Reboots don't fix it, and I haven't added any new apps lately. Since the time the phone rebooted after the OTA update is when it's been having issues.
I'm assuming I'll have to root the phone, or wait for another OTA update to fix it. So, here's what I have:
Software version - L720VPUEMK2
Hardware version - L720.08
Android version - 4.3
Baseband version - L720VPUEMK2

Since you don't have a custom ROM and aren't rooted this question might best be asked on a Sprint Forum.
I'd be that you have a load of stuff starting at startup (account synch's etc.).
My suggestion would be to spend a few days reading through these forums to understand how to root and add a custom recovery to this device.
Then maybe install an app like Titanium Root/Rom Toolbox etc., to look at what's starting, syncing etc and then freeze or uinstall some of the culprits.
Then maybe install a custom ROM - after you've read and read a bunch.
I can root it no problem. In fact, this is the first Android device that I haven't rooted (worked pretty well out of the box for my needs!) I was just trying to avoid doing that because I just have the time to reconfigure all of my accounts, transfer data, reinstall apps, software bugs and all that crap...
Hello!
I'm on my 3rd Android device and I've previously used Cyanogenmod just because it offers the Privacy Guard feature.
However, I didn't realize that this wonderful new-to-me AT& T Galaxy S 4 is substantially more complex when it comes to installing something such as CM. While I'm familiar with using a tool such as heimdall to install a custom recovery, such as TWRP, I haven't previously had to root before.
In going through the FAQ, it states that I should install Safestrap, but the page it links to doesn't include a version for NC1. In searching through the forums, I see that there are other root options, such as Towelroot, but, even if Towelroot works, I have no idea what to do after rooting with Towelroot.
So what I am hoping is that someone can kindly just map out the steps for me to get where I want, which is to have a Privacy Guard type feature on my phone, be it through CM or another ROM. And what I mean by 'map out' is that it isn't necessary to explain every detail of every procedure, just generally list what needs to be done and I can usually figure out the rest.
The phone is currently 'locked' to AT&T and here are the device details:

I have tried any and all 1 clicks i could find, attempted all old hacks i have from older root methods.
The only things i haven't tried are
• Exploits i did not find searching past 2 weeks every night for hours
• Anything that downgrades any software on phone
• Anything that installs custom recoveries
I am willing to downgrade and use an app like towelroot if it is possible, but with my firmware being from 2015, i'd be worried in following any downgrade methods (what few i have found for this phone) since none of them mention the ability to do it w/oa1.
to be honest, with such limited support for this phone in Google (especially since a 2015 kernel) I'm kind of scared doing anything major with it =/... I got the phone about 2 weeks ago, and have been trying to root it from day 1. The phone was a $0.99 phone from cricket to bribe me into staying with them( they just changed to GSM and screwed everyone over who had purchased a new phone recently, another story for a never to talk about time)
I would prefer to not trip Knox, but if it's a must then.... well... it's a must, isn't it...
any and all help would be highly appreciated.
Have you tried.motochopper? I'd give that a try. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40746664

Motochopper is a no go I tried it
So it seems that Sharp put out an update to our device today. I haven't upgraded, but does anyone know what this adds? Or noticed any changes?

So guys I have flashed TWRP on my Grand Prime Plus through Odin. And now I need to find a stock ROM for my phone.
My question is:
Does the base version (and build version as well) of the ROM you're downloading need to be same to what it used to be before??
This here are some specifications of my phone right now:
Android Version

Can someone tell me if the base version and the Build Number needs to be same for downloading a new ROM or not??
And where can I find the best ROM for my phone??
Edit: And does the region of the ROM you're about to download needs to be the same as the region you're living at? Does it make any different?
Also, how do I make a backup for the already installed OS? What do MUST make backup of out of:
Boot
Recovery
EFS
Cache
System
Data
Misc
Modem
System Image
I don't really care about losing data, I just don't want to lose my previous already installed OS while trying to flash a new stock ROM. So what do I make backup of out of the aforementioned?
Thanks.
Where is stock frimware link?
