Great News friend, let's wait haha!

Hey. I've already flashed twrp and root on my e7, and I downloaded the stock 5.1 and now it's normal again, but I can't download OTA upgrades, so is there any way to be able to download ota upgrades again? Or I can download the future 6.0 stock and just flash it in odin? Please reply.

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

Thank you so much

Friend after root you couldn't get OTA update but
Don't worry you can upgrade your device from
www.samfirmware.com
Can you tell me, from which method you rooted your device?

I used the odin tool to root, but is it possible to update my phone using smart switch? Because downloading firmware and all seems too complicated

If you have custom recovery and root the ota update obviously wont work. I had asked the developer of root for our devices for the otas and this is what he had said:
dalingrin said:
My suggestion, if you want to keep root don't take an OTA.
If you really want to stay with stock LG then you'll want to flash updates via custom recovery. The community will take the updates from LG and make them flashable with TWRP or CWM.

so you ll have to wait for someone to make this update a flashable zip.

Yeah there is a script that runs when you do a OTA. My buddy had to completely restore to stock using download mode to fix his. You may get lucky with doing a factory wipe but sounds like flashing a new rom didn't even help... Look through the forums and find the thread that guides you through doing a regular restore (this will restore you to the original software. You will be unrooted and your recovery will go back to stock. This means you can do the OTA if you so desire. Just keep in mind it may block Loki and root)

Thanks for the reply mate,
Yeah i will do like that , but surely there is a way somewhere to remove the boot loop , from TWRP you can remove edit files.
So if someone with more knowledge tell us where the OTA files give the command to boot to recovery we can remove it.

Post your problem in twrp's thread. Drgravy replies often and he knows more than anyone what to do in a situation like yours.
Thanks all for your help ....
I unbricked the device with FlashTool.1.0.54 , i flashed the original firmware , the strange thing this did not wipe my data, only removed Custom recovery and root.

Just tried the update to a stock (but rooted) Gpad
At 3% installing, error 0x13E
After booting, a samsung-like:laugh: message:
"This device is suspected in rooting. Software update is not available for rooted device"
Fortunately this tablet is not mine... This tablet needs a "google edition" update ASAP
Maybe somebody could cook this update into a package that can be flashed by people who are on stock, but rooted?
I am on stock, rooted, but the update went fine.

4.4.4 update

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 ??

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?

Unable to update to Android 5.0.2

Dear all,
I hope anyone can help me. I am trying to update to the latest Android version which I got OTA today. I have rooted my device and I am running TWRP (version 2.8.5.0) since some time. (Rooted it to restore some apps using Titanium backup). When I try to update using the OTA my device boots into recovery. When I choose install and select the downloaded zip file my device gives me the following error:
E: Zip signature verification dailed: 1
Disabling the ZIP verification doesn't work as I will just get another error message.
I have tried sideloading the ROM using adb commands but so far this hasn't worked either.
Anyone can give me some directions as how to continue from here? I would really like to update my device to Android 5!
Update with solution (for me):
What worked for me was downloading the OTA update like I would normally do. Then connect the phone to the computer and copy the downloaded update file to the computer (should be located on internal memory/download/). Once you have the file on your computer extract it, and then extract the file 'firmware'. Inside this second file should be a recovery.img. If you flash this recovery to your phone (no need to unroot or relock your bootloader) you will then be able to install the update.
That's because you need stock recovery to flash OTA. It won't work with TWRP because the OTA ZIP works different than a custom ROM.
Go back to stock everything and it'll work.
Or wait a couple of days till the boys here come up with a lollipop rom.
Ok thanks a lot, that'll help me I'll let you guy know if I run into any more problems.

Use these two files. First restore the stock nandroid using twrp (remember to choose NO when twrp prompts you to install supersu and root rom).
After you successfully restore the backup, flash stock recovery.
That should take care of it.

in usual way of that you have to put update file in Download folder in internal memory(after that you may have to restart) and then go to setting > about > software update, checking for update and wait the way that should be.

I did that but no luck.
placed ota file in download folder then restarted the phone. Then check for update but still the same message "there are no updates available for your phone"
So i just got the ota update today the lollipop for my country (Egypt) i had phone rooted with custom recovery TWRP i tried installing the update and failed.. then i flashed the stock recovery and still fails...gone to supersu and settings and unrooted it and tried again, still fails...
relocked the bootloader and STILL fails this now got me so mad because upon every install failure i had to redownload the update (it takes a long time tho) so if anyone could help me here i will be so thankful.

What Steps Do I Take To Update From 2.19.40.20?

So I've stayed at 2.19.40.20 because I wanted to wait to see if a better way to unlock the bootloader would be found, but I've given up and unlocked my bootloader (the unoffical way).
I want to get up to speed and update to the latest OTA.
Can I just flash the latest one or do I need to download every one til the newest update and sideload them individually?
If I have to do each one can I just load them one after the other, or do I need to reboot the phone and let it fully load to the OS for every update?
I did side load the latest one when I was coming from the 18 something that came with my phone. Loading the full 1.1gig firmware did the trick.
So just for clarification, to take me from 2.19.40.20 to 2.20.40.139 I should just flash the latest Stock ROM from the ASUS site?

You need to unroot and make sure you are sideloading the whole 1.1 gig one.

Does unrooting include removing Xposed?
Yes, and don't try to install it after you get to 139 firmware, as far as I know it still causes bootloop.
Wait, if I flash the 1.1 gig stock ROM, do I lose everything in the internal memory?

There's a new Xposed out, v78, which claims to fix a bootloop on 5.0 roms due to a security fix. I haven't tried it yet because I'm running a backup. Here is the thread and changelog.
We want the sdk21-x86 version.
Installed with no problem in TWRP with the flash able zip. Took a few minutes to boot, but seems to be working.

Good to know. No, you would not loose anything, at least I did not. Everything migrated over without any issues.
So I've gotten through sideloading the current version with no hiccups. Booted into system fine, it's the right version in the About section, and my internal memory came through intact.
I've flashed TWRP, and booted into it to install SuperSU when I got this message: "TWRP may have detected an unmodified system partition"
It explains that I can keep it as read only and make it easier to take official updates, but then TWRP will not be able to stop the stock ROM from replacing it and will not offer to root my device.
Should I keep it "Read Only" or should I allow the modification?

You will have to reinstall to complete Stock (see link below). You can not OTA from a customer rom.

If you already did update to Nougat via OTA, flashing that Marshmallow stock image can/will brick your device.
There is a generic RETAIL Nougat Stock image for the April Security Updates flying around somewhere. But generally you should install the stock version you originally had on your device, and then update from there.

I have no idea in what channel a phone will end up with the generic RETAIL images. I just did a dump of every single partition on my phone before I installed custom stuff, so I can always get back to how it was originally, and OTA from there.

I can not say it enough... I really wish people would first learn how to correct their phones before they make the changes.
It really is simple, would you learn how to properly parachute before or after you jump from the plane?

No problem... any time you change a phone I always suggest to really look at the Guides and Discussion section and get to know the phone well before jumping in and hacking it.. Plus Moto did not make this one as simple to flash and recover as some of their others.
Good Luck.

As far as I Moto has not released any signed firmware for the Addison.
Just flash this with RSD lite and you`ll have 7.1.1 with aug patch )

Flashing that on my reteu device resulted in a bootloop with the phone playing the "Hello Moto" sound over and over again.
I could flash LineageOS over it and it worked fine, but it did not give me a working stock OS.

You can try to do next:
1. Wipe everything (incl internal storage with TWRP)
2. Format (not wipe) data with TWRP
3. Go to fastboot and flash stock ROM with RSD lite
P.S. If you still have bootloop - just flash TWRP and SuperSU with it. But if you`ll do everything, what i wrote - You`ll have fully worked device.
Good luck )

Step 3 is what I did originally, including erasing userdata. With that exact stock ROM.
I only wanted to update the bootloader and radio firmware, so I don't overly care it does not boot by itself, as I'm using LaOS.
Just as a note for anyone trying to use that image.
