4.4.4 update - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

My apologies if I missed a thread. I am new to these parts as I just got a brand new S4 tonight and I had the dumb idea of taking the OTA that popped up right when I turned it on ,which is UVUFNH7, without a thought for the potential consequences. The build is from 8/27/14 and I can't even find it on samfirmwares.
Am I one of the first few to get this update or did I miss something?
I don't see any threads or links in the stickies about an official TW 4.4.4 update. I intend to get off TW for a GPE rom ASAP so I'm hoping I didn't screw anything up.

Could you post few screenshots, s4 t-mobile is the first to get 4.4.4 from s4 family
What was the size of ota for 4.4.4 ?

http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-5887
It's not a big update, mainly WiFi calling improvements plus whatever 4.4.4 and 4.4.3 adds on to 4.4.2

Here you go. The OTA was 400MB+. Can't remember exact size anymore

I have the update copied from /cache/fota but can't install it through recovery. Would I have to flash stock recovery to be able to flash the update.zip? Is there some way to flash it through CWM? Just curious? Nothing in 4.4.4. That I absolutely need but if I could do something and upload it for everyone let me know.

Can anybody check is there option now in developer options to change runtime from dalvik to art ??

You need to be fully stock and unrooted to apply an ota.

Does this update break TowelRoot?

I was previously rooted on stock 4.4.2 via CF-Auto-Root.
After the 4.4.4 update, it initially broke root but I was able to reroot by flashing CF-Auto-Root via Odin again. Works just fine

I wonder how this will work with the older bootloader, sans Knox.
Don't want to update to trip it.
The last LTE radio didn't work with it for audio.

Updated to Sammobile's snapshot of 4.4.4 and my radio and wifi isn't working, any suggestions?

4.4. KitKat for Wifi Note 10.1 2014 P600 Q&A

Hi guys I have some questions about the new Firmware and KitKat in general and you may have answers I'll try to update first post with your answers!
-Will I loose root when I flash through Odin? --> Yes
-Is the new firmware rootable, or is there a way to keep root when I upgrade from rooted 4.3?
-->For upgrade yes: If you are rooted on 4.3 you can restore root by flashing a custom recovery and flash superSU manually.
-->chainfire autoroot works but you need to update the superSU app through play store after flashing.
-Will KitKat restrict access to my SD card? -->Yes but fixable through an app or editing a file (needs root), there is already a thread about that.
-Can I still use flash with KitKat? How?
-->Yes, there is a hacked version see 2nd post for link.
-How is the touchscreen driver? Is the stuttering fixed? Do touch and hold actions still drop after ~23sec?
-->Pretty much fixed. To about the same state as the improved Kernel we had a while ago.
-Are there any apps that are not working (root apps too)?
-Gesture Controls? --> works
-Xposed framework app settings? -->works
-Is Hancom Office included or does it still work? --> not included but does still work.
Thats about what I can think of a the moment.
Hi,
If you are already rooted then all you have to do is re install TWRP and then flash SU zip then you have root.
For flash player, download hacked version here, it works I tested it on new software :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/go...e-how-to-play-flash-video-android-4-t2548001
Also, xposed works. Tested it on new software

Chainfire's Auto Root does work, once you flash it thru odin and reboot, go to the Play store and update the app.
- Please update OP
Here's a question: I'm already rooted. Is flashing the stock KitKat image via Odin and rerooting the only way to upgrade?

If you are already rooted, I assume you have TWRP too. Just download this KitKat rom, full wipe and install.

Not for me I flashed a stock 4.4 kit kat on my tablet coming from root 4.3. I then flashed chainfire autoroot thru odin on the 4.4 and the superuser there only problem is it displays this ' There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install this is a problem! I formatted my 4.3 before flashing it maybe thats why?

Not sure... I installed KK on the tablet via Odin, then rebooted and setup, then rebooted into download mode and flashed auto root thru Odin.
Upon reboot I got an error selecting SuperSU, but once I updated it thru the Play Store its been fine.
Using ES Explorer I removed the items I don't need and removed all of the Knox stuff.
There are a few of us this worked for so I don't know what went wrong for you.
If you don't succeed then try again, and again, and again....Good luck.

Thx for the response from what i can see you never fully wipe your data before installing 4.4 KK but i did so i believe i lost my root like that. So when i updated the supersu never carried over from 4.3

Not sure but I think so. The worst case scenario is that you may have to flash a different kernel but I think even that won't be necessary.

The rooted version comes with supersu preinstalled. Just flash the rom boot up, open supersu and update binary.
Do not flash supersu zip or try towelroot on the rooted version.

Did not work for me. Also my custom recovery was lost after the flash. I had to towel root to get root access. Still unsure how to regain my custom recovery because whenever i try to install it, I get a message saying the system software isn't supported by AT&T. I don't know what to do. I have this Google Play Rom and root but no recovery.
Also my cell signal got noticeably worse after getting this Rom

Are you sure you flashed the zip in the OP? This ROM (any version) does not touch the recovery at all.
Anyways, if you want to get your custom recovery back, very carefully follow the instructions here:
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/174
You will need to install a terminal emulator app to do this.
This will give you a working TWRP V2.7.1.0. Then, you can flash your favorite recovery from TWRP
Root works
I just downloaded and flashed the ROM and root works perfectly fine for me.
Thanks for the link to get back my recovery. Weird how this ROM didn't work for me. Glad the guy above me had no issues. Someone at my work was complaining about their AT&T signal today, saying hers also got worse within the last two days. So maybe it wasn't the ROM that caused my weakened signal. I downloaded it two days ago, so I had to assume the issue was the ROM.
Thanks again!
I've been running the rom since he uploaded it and it has been running fine ever since. battery life is great also.

Use ODIN and the OH1 TAR file from SAMMOBILE. That will bring you up to the most recent stock and baseband. Then Unikernel and TWRP and flash the ROM.

Brother for OTA Upgrade you must have
your device all official software, if you root
or flash twrp your device goes to custom
So you can't get any further OTA update/upgrade
Other thing, your device software must have
of your country to get updates.
So if you want OTA updates
1. download own country stock rom from www.samfirmware.com
2. Flash rom with odin
3. Don't flash other unofficial softwares
4. Check OTA updates you must get
5. Done
I've already done it once, and didn't work, maybe it's because my binary is "custom"
I need to restart it, like with no modifications, but the binary I don't know how to restart.
Can you help me? Or I need to flash stock again?
And another question, if nothing works, I can just download the future 6.0 stock and flash with odin? Or it means problems?

First, if your device have custom binary
You need to hard reset your device by
1. Power off device
2. Go to recovery mode by Pressing power+volume up+home buttons at once
3. Clear partition cache
4. Format factory data
5. Restart
6. done
If still there custom binary appear then reflash
Official rom.
Second, you can download android 6.0
and flash anytime there is no problems

Friend after root you couldn't get OTA update but
Don't worry you can upgrade your device from

The phone boots into 6.0.1 (Kernel 3.10.40) and I have access to TWRP, ADB, ODIN, and root.
Paul suggested "You need to update your aboot partition to 6.0.1. the wifi driver is in the new aboot"
I am a noob and I don't understand what this means. Can anybody give me a list of steps to follow? I think I might be in over my head and returning to stock 6.0.1 might be acceptable.

Here is what I did from stock 5.1.1 on a rooted verizon Note 4 (Using PaulPizz MMB29M.N910VVRS2CQB2):
Using Oden I installed:
VRS2CQB2_modems.tar.md5
VRS2CQB2_Bootloaders_NoAboot.tar.md5 and
VRS2CQB2_NoAboot.tar.md5

dhplap, I appreciate the link to a different process but there seems to be too much assumed knowledge for me to try again (like what am I supposed to do with a .7z file). I am afraid I'm gonna brick the phone. I have flashed back to stock 5.1.1 (BPA1), verified the WiFi was working again and then flashed the stock CQC1 ROM from SamMobile. I really just wanted to get the latest security patches and have found a way to do that. My CID is still 150100523231384d4100657e54fc1200 which may be helpful in the future.
I am done for now with custom ROMs. I may take another swing at it when I have more time to educate myself. You may close this thread. My sincere thanks for your help.

You need to either flash the stock mm or lp rom you lost your WiFi do to the fact that your device while I'm certain it says 6.0.1 is in all reality 5.1.1 with the toolchain updated to mm . If you want a stock system with working radio Odin the stock firmware either api works

He did flash stock mm. It was the last thing he flashed according to his list. He needs to upgrade his bootloader to mm.

What ? Your High champ he said he flashed w/o aboot. That's the safe upgrade if he had flashed stock the bl would have updated itself

First of all your wasted. If he flashes stock mm he will lose root and lock his bootloader again and have to go back to bpa1 and start all over. Hence upgrade bootloader. Or he could stay on lollipop.

I guess we both missed that he already flashed the stock bpa1 already. I just went off of you telling him to flash stock after he said he already did it. Have a good day bud!

That's for sure. Read the second post buddy. That's what he needed to do to update his bootloader and keep root if he wanted too, or he could have just flashed a lollipop rom. Understand or no? Sorry, can't play with you anymore right now, gotta go to work. I'll be back later though if you have any questions.
