Unable to upgrade from 4.4 to 4.4.2

I have a Tmobile LTE Deb, it has 4.4, rooted with TWRP recovery. I received 4.4.2 OTA tonight, clicked reboot and upgrade, it went to TWRP but failed to upgrade, it went so quick, I couldn't see an error, I don't know where the OTA was downloaded to. So I downloaded 4.4.2 zip for LTE upgrade from the thread here, when I tried to flash it from TWRP, I received this weird error "This package is for DEB devices, this device is a FLO". I downloaded again, reinstall, same error. My device is a deb as you can see from the attachment. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Maybe it's the download for 4.4.2 from 4.4.1, and you still have 4.4. You can download the KRT16S to KOT49H or go from KRT16S to KOT49E then KOT49E to KOT49H. Go here

You're probably using a recovery made for flo. Download the one for deb and you should be good to go.

You're right on. Somehow the root toolkit flashed wrong TWRP. I flashed TWRP for Deb and it is good to go. Thanks a bunch!

Did you try to root or flash a zip? How did you attempt to upgrade to 4.4.2? Did you ODIN or flash the zip?

Just tried to update with the original Sammobile firmware

Pretty sure you flashed the wrong thing if you got it from here, this is the Sprint forum, and judging by your signature you have the TMo variant... and now you're probably screwed because you can't downgrade your firmware. Read read read, and don't flash stuff that's not for your phone.

could he not go into download mode and try to flash his stock rom?

No because he flashed the 4.4 Bootloader and they don't have 4.4 yet, so flashing the 4.3 firmware will brick it... He should be able to Odin a recovery and wipe everything and flash a new ROM.

[Q] need help with gs3

Hello, i just purchased a new galaxy s3 virgin mobile edition..
I had like 6 updates when i turned it on and now i am on 4.4.2 kitkat which it's called kot in the system file..
Anyways i have been searching and searching for an easy oneclick root program..
I haven't been able to find anything that works at all...
So i am here to ask everyone on here..
Is there an easy sure fire way to root the galaxy s3 vm version?
That doesn't involve changing the rom or flashing something that might break something or brick my phone...
What happened to samsung? They used to be so easy to root and unlock it was like melting butter...
Thanks in advance

TowelRoot... Philz recovery has a one click root. Plenty of options. NDC is what your firmware is called BTW.

Thanks but like i said nothing works.. Towelroot says my phone isn't supported and others just fail to work..
It is like this is just a super locked device and just can't be rooted..
I know towelroot says for all phones etc but something tells me it aint for all phones..

What I just told you to do (Philz Recovery, use the one that ends in ".tar.md5" in Odin- turn off auto reboot in Odin, it helps) then hit Reroot in Philz Settings after you get into Recovery, go into the Play Store and download SuperSU and go into the app and update binaries. This method is tried and true for your device.
My ROM: WICKED X

Do you have a link to the Philz root page?
I'll try it if I feel like it's not gonna brick my phone. Never had to root through Odin..
Thanks

All major initial root methods always ask you to flash a custom recovery through Odin always.
What he explained is correct you are just going to flash Phil's custom recovery then boot it into recovery click re-root and once booted install SU and update binaries.

Getting 5.x Lollipop Update on Rooted HTC ON M8 International

Hi all
Apologies if this is answered elsewhere but I cannot find any information on this for the life of me and it's driving me mad.
I have a notification stating that my 5.0 OTA update is ready but I can't install it due to the Custom Recovery on my device.
I followed this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376) and flashed the 'stock' (not actually Stock - every link it CWM or TWRP) recovery but it didn't work and the update still fails. I think I read somewhere that something is different about this particular update.. that you need to have an 'untouched'/never rooted device?
Plllleeeeeeeeeeeeeease can someone steer me in the right direction so I can get this update sorted?
Thanks in advance.

have you made any system modifications to your current rom?
Also need CID and firmware version number
ALSO needs to be in Q&A (asked the mods to move)

Thanks for that.
No Mods to ROM, CID - HTC_001, Screenshots of software info:

ok so you have clean 3.29.401.9 stock rom installed, if not restore the nand available in my thread via TWRP. (may be best to do this as a fresh start)
Next install the 3.28.401.9 stock recovery.img from the first post in my thread.
hoprfully then u should be able to tale OTA automatically

every link is CWM or TWRP are stock Nandroid backup, not recovery.img
Look under Stock Recovery Images for the stock recovery

Thanks for your help, that seems to have done it.
The first time I didn't pay enough attention to my correct Software number (in my case 3.28.401.9). When I matched up my CID (HTC_001) I just picked a random link on that list which is why it didn't work.
Got it going now and back on custom recovery so thanks again for your assistance

I'm not sure where this OTA update could be used with custom recovery. even for the stock recovery it seems the whole recovery flash image is required

Thanks @koshikas , I've found a fastboot update
joyeuse_global_images_V12.0.3.0.QJZMIXM_20210419.0000.00_10.0_global_0801ff7d09.tgz
Will I lose all my data with it?

no

just know that fastboot and recovery update methods are not the same

Thanks @koshikas, I know. That's why I'll wait some more experienced people here. I'm afraid to loose some data in the operation. If you've a good link for a ultra safe backup & easy restore I'll love it

MiFlash has options to flash with & without wiping. You can backup with the built-in tool or try Alpha Backup on play store.
Your recovery is outdated and is the reason for the failed flash. Try orangefox or dungphp's TWRP/Pitchblack.
Finally you can force a download of the full rom and not just the update from the updater app. It's in the menu at the top right. If you don't see it tap the 'currently installed' text a bunch.
Or just click here to download
