[Q] Howw are you guys getting Lollipop on your Sprint N4's

Im on Stock ANK2, rooted.
I see alot of "how to" do this and that with lollipop ....
So.. is Lollipop available to us now courtesy Sprint eith OTA or Odin'ed?
or are you guys doing custom roms?
thanks

BOB7 .tar hasn't been pulled yet, so you have to take the OTA via Full stock NK2, meaning non-rooted official, not modified firmware.
On touchwiz head to Settings > System Update > Update Now and you should see a dialogue for updating, it won't tell you what firmware it is but its the lollipop firmware, should be 1GB in size.

the method described there worked for me. You download a copy of the stock, unrooted rom, use Odin to flash it, then do an OTA update to get lollipop (it's about a 1gb download). Then you'll download a small file, use Odin to flash it which will give you root, and then you can use Flashify from the app store to put TWRP back on there. Just follow the directions on the above link.

Thank you

Thanks.... I flashed stock NK2 back and lost root and TWRP.
Then took the OTA for OB7..
Now all is good at Lollipop.
Now just to re-root.
Ill work on that now.

Samsung Software update for L710t (spark)

I'm on stock rooted 4.4.2 on my Sprint L710t (spark version). I got a notification for an OTA update yesterday coming in at 70.5MB and states that they're security updates and bug fixes. Did anyone else get this and do they know what these changes are? Will I lose root if I update?
I'm currently on OA3 baseband. Thanks.

I have the same baseband but have not received that message. Did you except the update or at least let it download the update then copy it from your system files to your internal or external sdcard? If you download it and save it could you upload it so I can get it from you and look through the update?

Idk if you will loose root access or if it will even allow you update since you are rooted cause you have modified the system file a little! I got the update this morning finally but I couldn't take it cause I have TWRP recovery and not stock recovery and I have deleted quiet a system apps. But you pull the update file from your cahce folder and open the zip file up and look at what all gest updated! The bootloader, kernel, modem and a bunch of system apps and CSC codes are all updated so far that I can see.

I haven't been able to update either since I'm using TWRP. Do you think it's worth going back to stock recovery in order to update? How would I even do that on OA3? I've seen a lot of tutorials on getting stock back on NF4 baseband, but nothing on OA3.

I'm sure it would help at least with our service cause they did update our modem! I'm not sure either about what is the best way to try to update. I'm running a custom kernel and TWRP so I would have to flash the NF4 package and see see it would give me ota-update for OA3 then allow me to update to the new L710TVPU0AOF2. Thats the new baseband. I'm not really sure I haven't ever had the problem of worrying about stock ota-updates. I've always normally had devices that developers post the update firmware packages online for us! I've asked Chainfire if he thinks we could flash the update using Flashfire but he hasn't replied yet. I don't think we will be able to but it's worth a shot to ask.

I just received the same update. Is there a way to disable it

How can I upload it?? Where is the update downloaded into??

baseband imei unknown - tried virtually every modem out there - help

Hi everyone,
I know this problem is well known and solved many times already, but I'm not being able to solve it by myself. This is why I'm posting this thread as a last resort to try and get some help, just in case i missed something..
My phone is currently with unknown baseband and IMEI on stock 4.4.2 flashed via kies recovery. If I try to flash any 4.4.4 port ROM the phone locks up seconds after boot, it will only work with stock rom. I already tried a few modems i found on another threads but no success.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

from sammobile, download newest firmware for your region and unpack it from stock rom and then pack it with 7zip to tar file and flash it with Odin.
you need sboot and modem

Double post

Isn't that a bit pointless? Maybe I'm missing the point, but if I already have flashed latest firmwares from both sammobile and kies, it kind of makes the point that modem and bootloader files from sammobile don't solve the problem, right?
Thanks.

Well truly doesnt seem pointless
I got my baseband resolved (Previously showed 'Unknown') by flashing pure stock rom (got from SamMobile) THROUGH ODIN so might be there is a point.
Try stock rom flashing from odin as according to me stock rom has everything in it radio(Baseband),boot(efs), system, etc etc

The unknown baseband and imei can be due to a modem and bootloader mismatch.
To confirm the bootloader and modem on the phone, install the Samsung Phone Info app from the play store to confirm the version.

Urgent help

My phone is broken. I rooted it and then installed a custom rom. After that it kept on randomly rebooting. I Then tries putting it back to stock with an md5 file, but it failed half way through. Now it just says firmware upgrade issue. Use recoverymode in kies. I tried but it says my phone is not supported. Now I keep on trying to install ota firmware updates but they keep failing. Please help get my phone up and running asap

Also telling me there is no pit binary

Go here to grab the zip file. Unzip and odin the tar file to bring your phone back.

That did not work it said auth fail

using a different kernel it succceeded

For future reference. When this happens and Odin fails to flash official software you first need to make sure you odin the same software version that is currently running on your phone. If that fails then you can flash the stock unrooted kernel that matches your current software. Another tip, major software update's tar packages will include a sprint pit file. So if you are stuck and unable to flash the stock software with odin then try the first things I mentioned first and if that fails then odin an official rom tar that includes the sprint pit file. (incremental monthly security patches usually do not contain a pit file. Only the first release of a major update will include a pit) The tar packages do check the current kernel so that's the first thing you want to get back to stock when odin fails to flash stock software. I posted this for reference incase others have this problem in the future.

Help with flashing back to stock

I was on one of the latest versions of MM, I was trying to downgrade to 5.1.1. When i tried flashing the 5.1.1 it put me in a fail that i cant get back to 6.0.1. The only .tar i could get to flash is the combination flash that is for troubleshooting all sensors and hardware, I cant get twrp, or any other stock 6.0.1 images to flash back on it without fail on Odin 3.12.3. If anyone has any ideas how to proceed from this purgatory much appreciated.

It's back!
After being very persistent with not being able to flash anything but the combination firmware stock binary, I switched to usb port on back of computer, went backward to Odin 3.9.?, flashed an early MM firmware successfully with the help of a Pit file being flashed with stock firmware. Had recurring fails saying ext4 fail. PIT file fixed that. Back to square 1 now. Was on the latest MM,now on Jun 2016 release of MM. Still hoping to unlock bl and root .

If your bootloader is locked again I think you're going to have to Odin back to BPA1 and do the bootloader unlock process twice again to get back to MM with unlocked bootloader. What's your bootloader now?

Bootloader Is locked, will try to get back to the 5.1.1 again. Thanks

Hi Sir,
Can I flash stock firmware from 910F European version (GSM) after unlocking bootloader on 910V (CDMA)? Or I need permanent root or TWRP.
Because I just want to convert it to GSM phone but full stock without any customise.
Both versions have same hardware.
Please anyone help me. Is it safe conversion?
