Hello,
I was impatient and I used a VPN to download the latest update through OTA. However, now no Sims are detected. Anyone got the same issue?
I'm unrooted on stock roms only. Otherwise is there an easy way to go back to the previous version?
Thanks a lot!

Im currently running on 4.0.4 and its also rooted well somehow i got the no sim card error and wont go away. And i heard that if u update it to the latest that itl be fixes. But if i update it then i lose my root access and i havent seen any root for the latest update. any help?
Flash. Stock job with root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017470
So, for a previous OTA update on 4.4 KitKat that brought some bug fixes, I could simply do a temporary unroot and use OTA survival mode with Superuser/SuperSU.
Now, with this new OTA that updates the OS to Lollipop, none of that seems to work. It always detects that the device is rooted and I don't know how.
So, does anyone have any idea how to apply this Lollipop OTA with a rooted device? How to avoid OTA rooted phone detection?
The last resort is to either use SuperSU to unroot fully or flash a fresh stock ROM... and none of those are satisfying.
Thanks in advance!
It's more than obvious that you need to flash a stock rom for OTA to function properly.

Well, you can play around with RCT, there are guides on resetting that.
Though it's not gonna work, such a big upgrade will break root regardless of ota survival mode or whatever. Or you will get a bootloop...
Do it the right way. Install TWRP, then install rooted LL rom.

Hi! I'm in South Korea and I had the exact same issue on KK.. I always used to flash the stock and then update KK... HOWEVER .....I didn't receive OTA update on Lollipop. I connected my phone to LG PC Suite and the phone updated from there.. and I didn't have to unroot. Have you tried connecting your phone to LG PC Suite and update from there? Good luck
IMO.. Lollipop sucks! I went back to KK after trying Lollipop for a few days.
Sorry for the post, but I've looked elsewhere and searched can't seem to find the best, fastest, and easiest way to accomplish this.
1. I have an AT&T GN8.0 (SGH-i467) on 4.1.2. Build CAMF2. I'd like to upgrade to 4.4.2 The device is rooted, with locked bootloader and stock recovery. I also have an AT&T Pay-as-you-go SIM installed.
2. I'd like to end up on 4.4.2 rooted. I have never been offered the 4.4.2 upgrade on my device and I'm not sure if it's because I have a PAYG sim or it's cause I'm rooted.
3. I'm not afraid of Odin, download mode, etc., so if anyone can help me figure out the best way to get myself upgraded, I'd appreciate it. If you want to point out some posts, threads, etc., that can help, that would be great too, but I've scanned all of those and it all just gels together to where I'm not sure what's what anymore.
Thanks.
Don't try to update via OTA with a rooted ROM as it may cause a softbrick. I recommend unrooting and trying to update or flashing a stock ROM from sammobile.com and then try to update to KK.

Thanks, that make sense.
Going back to stock shouldn't be a problem, but any thought to if I can update to 4.4.2 with a PAYG SIM? If not, is there a flashable file and method that you can point me to?
It has been my experience with various phones that OTA updates should work regardless of whether a sim is or is not inserted.
I purchased a Galaxy Note 5 from eBay. It came with Android 5.1.1, i have tried doing a software update but says i have the latest software. I have tried updating through Samsung Smart Switch but says my device is not supported. I have read other people have updated to Android 6 but it will not update mine. Is there anything else i can do? My device is the N920A. Thanks
You need to have an (activated) AT&T SIM Card in the phone before you can get OTA updates on an AT&T model - that really stinks doesn't it? !!!
However if you are willing to do a factory reset and use ODIN to flash the firmware upgrade, you can get the July 6.0.1 Marshmallow update form here:
http://www.androidsage.com/2016/06/...5-to-n920aucu2bpe6-android-6-0-1-marshmallow/
I am in Canada and was wondering if it would work to get a AT&T pay as you go sim card for the phone and then do the update over wifi?
Have now done the upgrade and running Marshmallow, thanks for your help
Good to hear ... did you use Odin or did you find an AT&T SIM for OTA update?
You can also apply all the OTA updates using ADB sideload (but that factory resets your handset every time, so do a full backup with Smart Switch PC app beforehand)
I've think I soft bricked my G928A. was on the ota mm and I attempted to go back to 5.1.1
(i'm stupid and wanted root back for a tether since I have unlimited data.)
But i'm bootlooping and can only get back in download mode.
Have used EVERY available odin flash file made for our phone?
Am I SOL? or, Do I just need to wait until someone can get ahold of the files for the latest ota update.
Thanks guys!

Which version did you use to odin back to 5.1.1? I just rolled back to 5.1.1 because I was on a version of 6.0.1 that did not end up being used, and could not get the new update with WIFI calling. I used this G928AATT2AOJ1_Recovery ODIN TO STOCK. Here is the link to the post where I got it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...ate-ota-version-g928aucu2bpd5-t3373689/page17
It worked great, I am back to the correct version of MM now and am just waiting for the OTA of the new update.
param.bin fail

Any advice from anyone. Only mode I can get into is download mode...
Why are all the links broken?
Please Help! I need Odin files for G928AUCU3CPHA. I tried to downgrade to PE6 and now I have no call signal and unknown IMEI #. I need G928AUCU3CPHA to Odin it back. Please Help!
Update: After many nights of sleeplessness and many hours spending on Odin and Googling, I finally found the link to the latest firmware G928AUCU3CPHA. I flashed it via Odin, and now my phone is alive again. REJOICE!
