Can't download CWM from website

I've been trying to download CWM latest versions for gs3 i747 from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager and IE is just showing me a page of ascii characters instead of downloading the file. Is anyone else having this problem? The reason I'm going there is because I paid for the touch version through Rom Manager, but any time Rom Manager informs me that I can update, I get sent to paying for it again.

Att new software update

Woke up this morning to notification of new software update from att. I'm already on the official KK update from couple of months ago. Anybody else get this? What is the update?

http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB420581&cv=820

From the above link...
"Update to android 4.4, including improved security".
So what does this mean? What exactly in 4.4 has been updated? What security updates? Anyone know?

Thanks for reply rom
But i actually meant did anyone know specifically the differences much like Andy's question

The update forced on my phone, crashed it because I had a custom recovery, so I had to flash back to. Jelly Bean and now I can't obtain root after re-updating.

Have you tried it on a device thats had the new ota update installed?
Also I thought there was a security concern with the kingo root method, something about it being from China and contains malwares that sends files back to its home server, supposedly these files are the ones necessary to clone the device.

download the freegee app from the play store and it'll install a recovery for you. Either clockworkmod or twrp

I installed the OTA update and then Odin TWRP and then flashed super SU. Root is working just fine for me and still sticking after reboots.

You installed the latest security update OTA (190mb) and then Odin TWRP? It didn't seem to affect my installation of TWRP or at least I was able to get into recovery as before. Install SuperSU as before with no errors. Reboot and no root or SuperSU. May have to do a complete reinstall tonight. Glad to know root can still work after this little update.
Solved: installing the latest SuperSU 2.71 worked without a hitch, root restored

Anything new in this ota?

Yes, I was on stock non-rooted with stock recovery prior to the latest OTA, then I decided to root and add TWRP

where did you get that 3.0.2.0? i have 3.0.2.0 work on PD2, but after OTA to PD3, it doesnt work anymore.

Does anyone have issues with data? I'll be browsing the internet or something, then randomly my data stops, I see the 3g or lte symbol go away then come back. It's extremely annoying.b

Please stop posting in every thread available with the same problem. If you get your files from koops thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...uide-links-files-update-root-restore-t3366862
There is no reason it won't work, other than user error. Follow directions.

Hey, this is the forum is all about.
I did want to ask only in koops thread, but well, not much answer there. So i ask only once again here, definitely not every thread available.
Moreover, everyone's phone could have its own issues, which need troubleshoots. Not all are the same.
I have installed twrp so many times for so many phones, so that i know that might be something else.
Im using twrp 3.0.2-0 in koops thread on pd2 well, but it didnt work on pd3. So what might be wrong here?

I've had this issue everywhere tho. It does seem to be related to switching from 3G to LTE. But I can't say for certain that each and every time it dropped, that when it came back it was a different service.

You've posted in three different threads with the same issue. You arn't following directions, or it would work. It has nothing to do with the firmware upgrade. Follow directions.

Ok, so may i ask you why i would successfully install twrp on PD2 if i didnt follow the steps? Or i was just lucky 1000 times before?
Dont act like a mod if you arent, please.
And if my question annoys you, use your ignore function instead.
This is my last post about this issue.

I'm on the Renegade ROM. If I wanted to install this update, I'd have to ODIN all the way back to stock, correct?

I consider security improvements always worth upgrading for.
I believe they patched the vulnerability from Ad Blockers in this update, among other things. And don't be turned away by the couple people having issues re-rooting. I assure you, everything works fine.

T807T Security Error after flashing

I flashed my T-Mobile Tab S 10.5 with custom roms and the LTE didn't work so I tried flashing to stock but now it prompts with
"Security Error This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software & is locked. Call your mobile operator for additional support. Please note that repair/return for this issue may have additional cost."
I tried using Samsung Kies & Smart Switch to reload software with no luck. I even tried downloading from Sammobile and any other roms that were compatible with my model to try and regain LTE. Any help would be appreciated!

With the stock rom it gives me. "Security Error This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software & is locked. Call your mobile operator for additional support. Please note that repair/return for this issue may have additional cost."
With custom roms it just wont find any signal from tmobile and say theres no sim in the device.

He's been trying thru Odin which is essentially the same thing in terms of flashing so maybe the zip will work better idk

It's not. Twrp doesn't communicate with the bootloader like odin does.

@P5King How'd it go? Did it succeed?

10.5.10 rooted, does OTA updating to 10.5.11 undo root?

Yep, as always I just installed to inactive slot via Magisk. All's well so far.

Poking around Magisk Manager... how does one install to an open slot? Not seeing any such reference.
edit:
Just saw a post... it shows as an option after the OTA but before boot.
