[Q] Flashing Kit Kat 4.4.2 Question

Hello,
I'm on the new side with flashing in such and need to know what file is run in Odin on the PDA line? The videos always show a MD5 file but I don't see one in the zip file I downloaded. How would I go about creating this file type? The remaining steps of the process seen easy.
Thanks, in advance

I'm somewhat confused here. Are you saying that I must install some program in order to make a MD5 file. Maybe it would be easier if I just knew what file to run on the PDA line. Is it the BOOT.IMG file? I would like to run this new KK software.
Thank you!

Okay in this screen shot there's the Odex rom and then the deodexed rom. Last is the firmware.
After you have flashed either one of the Odex or Deodexed roms in Safestrap 3.65 stock slot and remember to wipe the stock slot first.
So after the rom is flashed the don't reboot system but reboot to download mode and open up odin.
Prior to doing all this download the firmware to your computer. Once downloaded extract the the file that shows the as tar. After having odin open click on the PA and put that file in there and let it run its course checking the file. Then when it's done hit start.

Here's a pic off my pc of the file that goes in AP slot for Odin.
Odin will run MD5 check on it automatically and say it's valid. Then from there just have you phone in download mode and hooked up to pc and hit start.

not sure if you have seen this tutorial or not.
How To Install Kit Kat 4.4.2 Verizon Note 3 With …: http://youtu.be/zYrquBtAS1o

[Q] I can't find a good .md5 for rooting

I'm just trying to root my note 3.
The steps seem easy, I have odin, I can put my phone into bootloader mode, but every .md5 I try Fails in odin.
The "root" tab on this website is aged and doesn't specify Verizon Kitkat SM-N900V
so obviously everything I tried there failed.
does anyone have an md5 for this I can use?

Awesome, this looks like a step in the right direction but it seems that I have to create the custom firmware, but it has to be done with a Linux terminal.
"How to use Universal Root de la Vega:
Open a terminal to the directory containing URDLV.sh (not windows command prompt)"
I don't have linux, and I may be missing something but I don't see a way to do this with windows. Any ideas?

Under how can I try my firmware are two links. One seems to be the file u need. N900V right? Click on it and it should open a mega upload link.

Alright.. well, I ran that md5 through Odin and it failed. I got this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And I guess it corrupted my firmware or something because my phone wouldn't boot after that. Had this "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please use Software Repair Assistant & try again."
Thankfully in my adventures of trying to root this damn thing, I've encountered this before and have a stock md5 to recover the phone when this happens.

Try flashing back to V10A via TOT, then upgrade regularly via LG Mobile Support Tool (it will automatically first upgrade to KK, only then to LP, so you can choose your version that way). V20* doesn't work properly in some cases.

Stock US rom anyone?

Has a anyone received a copy of the Stock rom (update.app) yet? Waiting for it so I can bootloader unlock and dig in.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

I have just ordered this tablet from China, I might need this rom in the next few days. It would be grateful if anyone can upload this rom.

As far as I know there has not been an update released for the US tablet. It's just a matter of time, I hope.
@avocadopat I would say you are better off to leave what you have on the tablet you bought and select English as your language. US software disables 5GHz wifi and no telling what else.

OTA, not full in firmware finder but......
If I put the c128b003 OTA(us version wifi?) update.app in a dload folder on the root directory and did the Vol up, vol down, power button press and it seems to update but the about screen does not reflect this. Any ideas why? Is there a way to flash the update.zip without extracting the update.app from it?

If you look at the content of the update.zip archive, you'll see that it contains a number of .patch files and update.app. These .patch files are actualy the modifications for system and other partitions (patch file name corresponds the partition). They contain only differences between the new version of firmware and your current. Moreover, these patch files can be applied only to a certain version of firmware (the one they're made for). The last question is what is the update.app made for? It is made for updating other partitions, like modem, oeminfo, etc. I think the reason for this is that patch files are made with android build system and other partitions have no relation to it, so they're built somehow else. So, if you say you succeded updating, you actually had updated only service partitions, not the system itself (or maybe you actually had updated even nothing, because we don't know how smart Huawei recovery is).

Well then, I do have the btv-w09c128 and the ota is the c128. How do you update with the full zip then?
My version now is c128b002.

Lumia 520 cannot flash partition

Hello there !
I have an issue where I want to go back to Windows from fastboot as explained in this post :https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...nt/restore-windows-phone-8-installed-t3608223 .
I have my TZ.bin and other necessary files, but when trying to flash them with the command "fastboot flash partition TZ.bin", I get this error message:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Is there someone here smarter than me who knows how to solve that ?

First, it's TZ.img don't use .bin
Second, if you want to flash, for example, TZ partition use this:
fastboot flash TZ dump\TZ.img
You have to replace partition with the partition name (in this case TZ).

Hey ! Thanks for the answer !
I manager to get past the error.
However, I don't think I have access to the .img files as my backup seems corrupted.
I've red that some users were able to go back to a thor2 working state with the .ffu, but I'm pretty confused about how...

I don't remember how to do it, but i did it like a year ago and it broke some things like Bluetooth (and i think that SIM Card too). That's why it's recommended to use your phone backup.
Why do you think that your backup is corrupted?

My file is only about 2Gb large instead of the 8Gb it should be, and imgman64 does not manage to extract anything from it.
That's why I downloaded the .ffu and extracted teh different partition files, but in a .bin format.
If you remember how you did it I'd be interested (I don't really mind about Bluetooth or calls) !

Weirdly enough, my problem came back.
That prevents me from flashing anything at all.

Same problem than today, replace partition with the partition name (TZ in this case).
