How can I flash this with Heimdall?

Just to let you know.......downloaded twice from this server on my lappy and both files came up corrupted. Can't even open with 7-Zip.
Also, I keep getting a pop-up saying that the download has been interrupted.

Tried a third time and got the same "download has been interrupted" pop-up. After resuming and finishing the download, I looked at the file size and it was 246mb.

Does this work with the MDL baseband as well? I'm seeing MDC in the filename so I want to make sure

So if you're already on MDL modem, have stock rooted ROM, stock kernel, triangle away back to zero and official, using Mobile Odin with this "should" put everything back to factory including putting stock recovery back on? I haven't had the need or time to pull the trigger to test it yet. I'm glad there's finally a stock tar of this. I guess it's just a matter of time before one clicks are made with this and rooted tars. I know this phone is slightly different with flashing than the e4gt. My mind is still stuck on the way things were done with that phone.

I would say that it will. I think even if you have the MDC modem it should upgrade to the MDL version. I'm going to try in a few minutes...almost downloaded. I am wondering if triangle away is even necessary. I'm showing "custom" on my phone so we'll see what happens.
I've already posted on sxtp about getting a one-click. They make things so easy. But at least with this file I can skip the (1) one-click MDC..... (2) wait for OTA upgrade to MDL.
This definitely is different from my E4GT.
BTW , what is that SS_DL.dll file in the zip?

---------------------------------------
Edit: OK, I just ODIN'd the file. Custom binary now shows Samsung Official and system status is Official. I forgot to check the kernel, but I'm pretty sure it's stock. Also it did flash modem.bin. ODINing this file left all my apps intact. I was expecting it to wipe my internalSD, but apparently it didn't.
Since I wanted to start from a clean slate, I'm now flashing the one-click MDC stock restore and I'll take the OTA and go from there. I'll just have to wait for a one-click rooted restore.

I wonder if the root option in mobile Odin works with stock MDL.

Help me correct this --

I attempted to root my s4 via motochopper (before finding out that this method does not work) - then I Odin'd the CF-Auto-Root-jfltespr-jfltespr-sphl720.zip and rebooted. (per qbking77 instructions which were ALSO out of date) It installed the SU apk (red pirate android) and once rebooted, SU did not work and root checker told me I was not rooted. At this point I am wanting to remove SU (since it's not working, binaries will not update) and return to "normal". I should Odin the file in this thread for the VPUAMDL, correct?
I follow instructions well, have read a thousand threads about this today (before diving in) and have rooted a dozen phones before this (never an s4) - I have never had a problem, until this happened today. I'm a little irritated because I was relying on the information as CURRENT (because info on rooting and installing custom recovery for the s4 seems to be SPARSE) -
Any help is appreciated,
Thx, Chictek

}
Requirements:
Flashtool by @Androxyde
XZDualRecovery 2.6 RELEASE or newer.
Current FW version: 10.3.1.A.2.67, maybe others too, let me know!
Special features:
SuperSU integrated in system, FULL root, no reboots when remounting /system RW!
XZDualRecovery 2.7.42 BETA (CWM & PhilZ Touch & TWRP) pre-installed;
Tailored FTF to minimize the chance of accidental system wiping!
No need to clear caches!
For both locked and unlocked bootloaders!
The C6603 ROM is based on the FTF provided by @Androxyde in this thread. Thanks dude
In the following guide I suggest you use an external SDCard but that's just good practice, you can use your internal storage or even an USB OTG storage device in TWRP if you like to install, that's no problem!... If you are modding and the likes, best is to have an external sdcard, just for safeties sake.
C6603: How to update to 10.4.B.0.569:
For C6603: Download C6603.flashable.10.4.B.0.569.zip (Bittorrent: 754MB), SuperSU_fix.zip (1.1Mb) and C6603_10.4.B.0.569_Stripped.ftf (18MB), save it somewhere you remember;
Put 'C6603.flashable.10.4.B.0.569.zip' on (the external) SDcard1;
Put 'C6603_10.4.B.0.569_Stripped.ftf' inside the Flashtool/firmwares folder;
Create a backup of your phone in CWM or TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard0';
Flash 'C6603.flashable.10.4.B.0.569.zip' in TWRP, after flashing the ROM also flash 'SuperSU_fix.zip',
do not reboot but go back to the main menu, then go to reboot->power off;
Flash everything in 'C6603_10.4.B.0.569_Stripped.ftf';
Reboot to system without clearing (dalvik-/)cache.
The first boot will be considerably slower and after a long wait at the boot animation you will see Android optimizing the apps on your phone.
I have done this myself, using this method and I have not found any problem yet, again! :fingers-crossed:
Enjoy! :laugh:
DE-ODEX your ROM! (Read the NOTE below this guide before flashing!)
Make sure you have the flashable ROM installed before you do this.
Download deodex.10.4.B.0.569.zip (Bittorrent: 370MB), save it somewhere you remember;
Put 'deodex.10.4.B.0.569.zip' on (the external) SDcard1;
Create a backup of your phone in CWM or TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard0';
Flash 'deodex.10.4.B.0.569.zip' in recovery, do not reboot but go back to the main menu;
Clear dalvik-cache ONLY;
Reboot to system.
The first boot after flashing this you will see Android optimizing the apps on your phone, this might take a while... but should be just fine
NOTE: There are some issues with the deodexed ROM, it sometimes causes a FC, specifically if you go to keyboard & language settings through the settings app. I'm not able to find why it does this but my guess is that it's a bug in the Sony ROM that surfaces with deodexing it... There is a work around for this one though: Open any keyboard driven app (text editing/entering box), tap '12!?' and then tap the tools button on the right of the space bar. This will take you to the app to modify your keyboard settings.
Known XZDualRecovery Issues:
Busybox Updater/Installer: If you have XZDualRecovery installed, un-install any Busybox updating app/tool as most if not all of them will install a version of busybox which does not support the lzma compression applets XZDualRecovery depends on. The version installed together with XZDualRecovery is very stable and I have yet to hear anyone complain about it's stability.
How to report errors:
Please, before shouting out "It doesn't work!!1!" or "I lost root!" or even "My phone reboots when remounting /system RW!!" try the following:
Restore a /system ONLY using any means you are familiar with so you can try again.
Root it using [Z][ROOT] DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit.
Install XZDualRecovery and then try to update again using TWRP. This time you can skip the FTF as it has already done it's job.
If it still fails something from there on: LOGS!!.
NOTE: The important ones can be found in /cache/recovery and in /tmp/XZDualRecovery, pack them up and send them to me.
Thank you

Good shot man thank you
Tested and no bug at the moment

I did it. After flashing the ftf file with flashmode, I rebooted and it came out with a triangle and a progress bar at the bottom. At first I tot something had gone wrong but that was just the phone actually updating to the new FW.
Thanks for this NUT. Hopefully we'll see more of your work like this for future released FW's.

Could work, depending on how backups are stored. I can just tell that tarp looks for backups in a folder with your device-id.

No i dont. Not as cwm flashable zip.
Backup from another phone probably works as long as the backup folder is named right so that recovery finds it.
Make a backup and folders will be created, use external storage.
Whole restore process would be:
Make sure binary count is zero with triangle away.
Boot download mode to make sure as well.
Copy backups of system and boot to backup folder.
Boot to recovery, factory reset, restore backups from other phone, factory reset again.
Boot system to see that all is OK.
Unroot from SuperSU settings if needed.
Back to recovery to flash flashable zip of stock recovery.
I guess you'll have to make one more factory reset from stock recovery to get everything official status.
I hope I didn't miss anything
(I can make that zip for you if you'll need it. Downloading firmware right now, just in case)

Search android one thread !

If i flash recovery again, will i lost my data/OS or something? I installed Lollipop on my Xperia S about a week ago and i can't get to recovery mode to install .zip files, which is strange. I dont want to install etc. everything again so please, let me know how to deal with this. Also i turned off the "ambient thing", but its still pretty sensitive - it keeps unlocking itself when I put in on my bike or just when im trying to clean it which never happened to me before.

dasdsa
Pleaseeeeeeeeee! I really need it.

What zip file to download ?

I cannot root my Micromax xpress 2 e313 running on 5.1,this method fails in my mobile,please suggest any other method

I cant root my Intex Aque Power HD.. it has Lolipop 5.1 ..

You cannot lose your data or OS by flashing a recovery. However if you do it incorrectly or use the wrong process to flash the recovery, you can brick your phone. And if you bricked it, you may have to flash a new stock ROM to unbrick. That may cause you to lose your data.
So as always, BACK UP YOUR OS AND YOUR DATA before you mess with your phone! I can't tell you how many people I read about who fail to backup their phone and then they mess with it not really knowing what they are doing and end up losing everything because they've bricked their phone and have NO BACKUP!
Don't risk your data. Back it up NOW. Then you can mess with your phone freely and without worry.

No device comes with a pre-installed Custom Recovery! to install a Custom Recovery, you will need a PC.

Where's the. Zip file download link?

An app that tends to work on almost all lollipop based devices is the KINGROOT app........
Just google it and download it....
Your phone may reboot during the root process but thanks to lollipop's ram feature your unclosed apps stay unclosed nd in the memory even after rebooting......
so carry on with the process after reboot(if it occurs)
I've rooted many stubborn devices with it

[Q] My S5 active is not updating to lollipop...

Every time I try to update, my phone downloads it then installs and during the install process my phone stops and tells me it was interrupted.

Your going to have to Odin back to stock NE4, then ota up from their.
If you have/want root then follow this thread....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3083841

I was under the impression I lost my root because I accidentally updated and my SU access would not work anymore.
Edit: the update before lollipop.

Not a good idea to take OTA updates if your rooted....usually breaks root. The reason it won't update now is due to the fact you were rooted...even if you loose/unroot it still detects traces and the update fails. The only way to OTA now will be to use odin to flash back to stock NE4.
I see from the photo your on NG3 so you can reroot and go from their.

This and the thread I posted above should have all the info/files you need to get to rooted 5.0.

I appreciate it greatly. I will be taking on that endeavor later on today.

I am sorry for being ignorant, it has been a while since I have messed with anything. What do I do first since I have the s5 active variant?

Ignorance would be not reading or asking anything until after you brick the phone :sly:
Nothing wrong with asking legit questions, that's what it's all here for:thumbup:
Since your on NG3 now my advice would be to use odin and flash the ne4 stock kernel...then you can use towelroot again...reinstall supersu...then again in odin flash back to the NG3 stock kernel. This will put you on NG3 with root. From their you can follow that top thread and it will put you on stock rooted 5.0.
Edit: Here is another thread for you...OP has all the steps to walk you through rerooting. Just skip the first step about taking the ota and go from their.

Good luck!

I really appreciate it, when I flash, will that wipe anything on my phone (data, apps, contacts, ect.) Or will it just be the firmware that is changed?

Flashing the kernels to root shouldn't delete any data, but the jump to 5.0 will. I'd strongly recommend backing up first just to be safe.

I'm pretty sure it's already backed up to my Gmail, but I'll do a manual onto my computer. Now I am debating on just flashing to keep my root cause I don't want to go to 5 and I lose it again.

When your done, just make sure to freeze the Att software update app with titanium or similar, that will kill OTA so you don't have to worry about them sneaking an update in.

I need a refresher on the terminology again, like sideload and OT4 or what ever. Lol where do you suggest I glance through.

This one is a general guide for the g900a...not quite the same as the active, but the terminology still applies.
Just Google "guide to android terminology" and you'll end up with more info than you ever wanted! :sly:

Helium is pretty good.
Kies does everything except app data.

So good news, I re-rooted after a couple hours of research and I am rooted on 4.4.2. Now all I have to do is flash up to 5.0?

Yes, as long as you have root you can flash straight to rooted 5.0. :thumbup:

And flashing 5.0 is the SAME process? Lol if so I will be okay. Do you suggest any other root apps? I had flashify, but I was nervous and deleted it before I go stuck in a boot loop. Lmfao

Just follow the steps in the op and you'll be fine.
You'll need FlashFire, and I'd recommend TiBu...Good for freezing/removing bloat and backing up app data.
