Bootloader AT&T Mega - Samsung Galaxy Mega

Have the bootloader for the Mega been broken yet?
Is there any hope for this phone???

I'd like to tell you yes but I have the 1st galaxy mega from at&t 4.4.2 kk version and far as I know it never even got an OTA update, I have kept up with this phone with all the apps &questions and answers but to no avail I haven't found anything concrete that works properly.

Can you achieve root on 4.4.2? I have 4.2.2 rooted and want to update to 4.4.2 but I don't want to lose root.

Friend, There is no STOCK Firmware update of 4.2.2 for At&t version of the phone yet..
THE ONLY OPTION FOR UPGRADE FOR YOU RIGHT NOW IS TO INSTALL A CUSTOM ROM ...

Lior, I am from India and I have both the version of the phone , I have received the update for enrc2b but for my At&t version I am yet to receive any update. Hope it drops some time soon , but the catch here is "NOW", I don't think we have it for OTA as of now. More over correct me if I am wrong we don't receive updates once we move out of the network .
Any way I do really appreciate all your hard work :good:

Sorry It just slipped my mind that the guy has SUPER CID and S-OFF, guess in that case he can flash the At&t RUU .

Except hTC temporarily removed the update off the website until they can fix it. The one linked on that thread will not update your phone, because it gives everyone a 158 error.

Ok, what did you do to get it to update? I RUUd the previous version thinking that it could get the new one to update, but that didn't work. So, basically, my phone is completely stock right now (I relocked the bootload before doing so, of course)
I have USB Debugging enabled, otherwise, it won't detect the phone if it isn't enabled. This new update calls our phone a PDA Phone and the first screen telling what it will do has like "asdasdffkdsgj" on it.
--EDIT--
You have the international version of the One X+, which has already had a proper update.

Did you try Kingo Root? I just got an S4 zoom last week and I rooted it fine with Kingo Root. I just had to let it run for a few minutes and allow it to restart quite a few times until it asked me to accept to root. I used Kingo Root on an S4 I previously owned and it also worked fine. I even un-rooted a few times and re-rooted and it worked fine on the S4 normal =).
i dont trust this root method.
some say its a virus.

Some old news about it did say it was a virus or that it contained some Chinese spy software (vRoot or something) but I believe they removed it or never had it, I forget which one. I just know that I never had a problem with it so far.
Think i used safe root & disable knox

I see thanks I have the AT&T SM-C105A and am trying to find a way to root
I'd be careful with the C105A AT&T version. Nobody outside of AT&T has the firmware and you cannot flash any other C105A firmware to it. On top of that is the stupid AT&T check that essentially soft bricks the phone if the check fails.

just use kingoroot and everything will be done. There is no virus in the software. they do not store your info. They just root your phone and away you go. get it from http://www.kingoapp.com/android-root/download.htm

actually you can flash the mexico Telcel firmware found at Sammobile as the mexico version is still the same model and still uses AT&T LTE service
Do some more research you will find it
Edit:
Here is the Link:
C105AUBUAND1 Sammobile link Here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=28254 Know that Sammobile is having problems with their servers so download will be slow.
My guess would be that only the ASPN's may be different. So right dow your ASPN's from your existing firmware then if different change them back after flash.
That is the same firmware I tried to undo the soft brick (ATT unauthorized software lock), it would not flash.

Same question, were you on Lolipop and can I use this to downgrade?
No I wasn´t on Lollipop. I just reinstalled all from scratch in order to test it for you. IDK if you can downgrade. You should try. Its an official firm.
Has anyone downgraded with this from lollipop ?
Can some one share the ota for lolli? I live in mexico and cant update my alpha.

What would happen if I try to downgrade with ODIN and it doesn't work? Would it brick or would nothing happen?
I downgraded from 5.0.2 using this firmware earlier today. It does definitely work. Too bad there's still not a root method and it looks like pitpin gave up on his.
Is it pre unlocked or do we have to get the phone unlocked again ? I am currently on unlocked lollipop.
Sim unlock has nothing to do with ROM files. The unlocked or locked status won't change.

Why didn't att just play nice and update to V3? Instead they update To V4 so I can't flip flop between t-mobile firmware and there's. Does root still work? On the other hand, I can flash Verizon firmware I guess.

I haven't attempted rooting it, and I won't be. There might be a small chance that it may work but I'm not sure.

Well ... if root doesn't work I know what my next firmware will be. (Tmobile)
I can't root, looks like it's back to the drawing board. It figures this happen as soon as I feel it necessary to root my device......
I advise everyone to not take any OTAs after the first August patch so you can still be able to root and flash roms. It isn't a problem for me since I wasn't planning on rooting this phone again anyways..

Pretty sure the eng boot will still work on the new BL, just no old ROMs. :^)

@raremind couldn't root on BL4. It's unfortunate how we can't root on API2, but if the developers are willing to find out a new way to gain root access on API2, then it wouldn't be the end of the world for anyone who wants the latest OTA but still want root.

G930U firmware was just updated to API3 which has the incremented bootloader, so the individuals who updated to the latest AT&T firmware can use U firmware now. :victory:
