See if you can get a go phone sim..You don't have to activate...The phone just needs an att sim to catch the update. At least I think so. An att store should just give you a go phone sim. Tell them you don't have the phone with you and will set it up at home.
57% downloaded. And still going....
Did some reading and read reports of updating with root successful, so after waiting over an hour for 100% download, I restored root and tried to install. Install failed after 25 % downloaded Starting again and will unroot before the install.
Unrooted with voodoo. Stalled at 28%.
3rd times a charm..... Unrooted via supersu. Update installed fine. Now trying Kingo.

OK. It took 3 tries to get kitkat. I ended up with unrooting via supersu. I was able to DL the update, and was able to successfully install te update to 4.4.2. I tried to reroot via voodoo. No Go which I expected. I reinstalled supersu, No go..... I tried kingo..... several times....maybe 3, then my phone rebooted and showed this screen.
I am not rooted according to supersu and rootchecker, However, it looks like my bootloader is unlocked.

Stopped downloading or stopped installing? Mine stopped installing cause I was rooted, and unrooted thru voodoo. I needed to unroot via supersu.
Update installed after unrooting, but now I am not rooted on kitkat and Kingo does not work.

Razr XT910 OTA update failed

I have a Razr XT910 (Rogers, Canada) running stock ICS 4.0.4 which I rooted using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710871
After rooting, I deleted some system apps (Rogers bloatware etc). Today, I got a notification of Jelly Bean update. After downloading, when I chose to install it, my phone restarted and at about one third of the process, restarted again and came back to ICS. And then a popup came up saying "Update failed!".
I read that this is because I touched the system folder. So I unrooted it using SuperSU app present. And then did a factory reset erasing everything from the phone. All those crap apps are back now. But when I check for system updates, it says "Your device is up to date". How do I update my phone to stock JB ?
Thanks for your help!
Wait for some time. You might get a notification again.
If in hurry..Go for manual update.

When the update installation stopped, the phone rebooted back in ICS. At that time it gave an error "Update failed". That's all.

[ROM][ODIN][TAR] SM-N900P MI3 Stock Restore Tar

Credits: Our thanks to Samsung-Updates.com for posting MI3/MI5.
Until I have time to clean this up I figured I would post this now and we'll update it later.
It's more important to make sure people have this while testing new things.
Samsung-Updates.com has posted MI3 here:
http://samsung-updates.com/details/14398/Galaxy_Note_3_Sprint/SM-N900P/SPR/N900PVPUBMI3.html
MI5 Link:
http://samsung-updates.com/details/14398/Galaxy_Note_3_Sprint/SM-N900P/SPR/N900PVPUBMI5.html
As usual we're putting it up on Rwilco's repository. I am not doing anything with them though for a few reasons.
1) At the moment neither I or rwilco12 have a device to test with.
2) Given the issues with Knox I am leary in doing anything without addressing #1.
Link to Stock ROMs:
http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.php?dir=Files/Devices/Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900P)/Stock ROMs/
Download, flash in Odin/Heimdall. This current version will wipe your data.
TESTED AND WORKING - Great Work bud!
Any other DL links? Its not downloading anything.. On either link. Thanks
EDIT: Might be on my end I think it is working now. I already did something and messed it up. Very easy fix but I cant believe the n00b mistake I did lol. Oh well
Edit 2: Last one lol but link did work and was able to restore. Thanks!

Mine was stuck on the yellow sprint screen. I went in the stock recovery and wiped data, and after that it loaded up perfect. So if you are stuck on the sprint screen, try that and it might help you.

Verizon VS980 Kit Kat Push

I'm getting a VERY persistent software upgrade on my phone now from Verizon apparently pushing Kit Kat.
I'm rooted, no other mods but debloating and G2 Xposed and other apps.
Can I take this update? Will it wipe my phone? Would I have to reroot? I tried a quick search but I'm pressed for time and didn't see anything jumping out at me that answers my questions.
NO do not do verizon kitkat ota update

I did the OTA kitkat today and bricked my phone and it was stock rooted. I am not sure if its just because it was rooted or because several things were disabled. My phone would only show LG logo and nothing else and turn off but still glow. I went to verizon and they troubleshooted it and could not get it to hard reset or anything. They are sending me a new phone under warranty. Sucks being without my G2 so unless you want to be like the rest of us dont do it.

Mine won't let me in. Every time I try to get into software update it brings up that damn Kit Kat push window.
I was rooted and turned off the software upgrade with TiBu. I decided to take the KK OTA, so I went back to stock with the LF flash tool, then took both OTAs. After the KK OTA finished, I rooted it with IOroot25 and loaded a recovery with Micromods "Freedom" mod.

I can't stand that persistent update. I went to "knock on" my phone earlier tonight at work, wasn't looking at the screen, and tapped the Install Now accidentally haha went into a TWRP boot loop, but I just entered the terminal command code in TWRP (from a post I found on here) and I'm back in business. I'm definitely gonna use Titanium Pro like you did if those updates start up again though

Help with 4.4.2 in global mode.

Okay I am deployed over seas. I am bone stock mk2. I would like to take the update to play around with it but I have my phone in global mode using a different sim card. Every time I check for update it says update unavailable at this time. Thanks for any help.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
You have to go to back to full stock mk2 to be able to update. If you want to keep root you can use the guide in the general section on how to keep root and update. The guide works for the leaked KitKat build we got, nc2, but I'm not sure if it works for the official nc5 update, you can check the thread for that.

Since you're not on the Verizon network, you won't be offered the update via OTA. I'd wait until someone grabs the NC5 update
Since you're factory stock, you could install the OTA by downloading it to your internal SD card as an update.zip and booting into stock recovery to install it.
Note that you can't "play around" with it. You'll have NC5, no root, and very likely no way to go back.

The update comes from VZ over their network. If you're not on their network, the update servers aren't reachable.
Oh - another thing you can try is to use Kies to check for updates. I don't think that VZ has made the update available there yet, so have patience.

I'm rooted but I have custom recovery on mine (TWRP) and it was Hell... HELL! It took me 7 hours throughout the whole night to recover it, it was going back to TWRP every single time. But searching here in this fine website paid off! I'm not going to touch any OTA until I know more on how to prevent that again.
I had a similar experience when I upgraded to KitKat. Lost so much including pictures and videos that couldn't be replaced or recovered. Took hours just to get my phone working again. Never want to go through that again!

Cool Confirmed, it worked for me as well, through the LG Support tool. Never taking it OTA ever again. :silly: And yes, I lost root as well and I've used towelroot before. I'm not sure if I'll install a custom recovery any time soon. Nearly bricked my LG G2 enough times already. :silly:

Have you tried using towelroot? From what I read it seems to work fine. I hope it does at least. I can live without knock code, but not having root would be a problem.
