Hopefully saferoot or some other method will work with this update. :fingers-crossed:

I saw a software update being download through my phone which was killing my battery. I called Samsung to see what was going on.
I'm pretty sure I weirded out the Samsung rep on the phone because I was ECSTATIC when she said "well, it looks like you should actually be running 4.4.2"

If I would have known - I would have tried to capture the OTA update...

Don't Apply Update to an Encrypted Phone!!!!
I made what I think is a fatal error in applying this update...two errors, actually...
1. Didn't have contacts, texts, various docs, etc stored on internal memory backed up to the could, external computer, etc
2. Applied update before decrypting the phone (I keep it encrypted for security reasons obviously but this may have just bitten me in the butt)
So here's happened when I applied the update. First, there was no warning not to apply it to an encrypted phone (found this out from an AT&T Device Support Center technician, who also told me the update was pushed direct by Samsung and not AT&T and really did try to help me out of this jam). I selected yes to apply the update, then it prompted me for my password 2 or 3 times at it went thru the update/reboot process. No problem, right? Well when it appeared to have completed, it went back to the lock screen on bootup, I typed in my password, the green "android crypto unlock" image came on, then...nothing. screen went black and phone locked up. Restarted several times and same thing happened. Restarted in safe mode and same thing happened. Tried hooking up to my computer and accessing thru Windows and Samsung Kies...nothing. Phone connects to computer, but it isn't recognized and no access (neither before nor after typing password into phone). Went into the phone's system recovery mode and rebooted from there and same thing happened - get to unlock screen, type password, and locks. In the phone's system recovery screen, I get the following at the bottom of the screen:
#MANUAL MODE#
-- Appling Multi-CSC...
Applied the CSC-code : ATT
Successfully applied multi-CSC.
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
can't mount '/data'(Invalid argument)
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
E:Can't mount /data/log/recovery_log.txt
I have not yet done a "wipe data/factory reset" nor had AT&T wipe and reset the phone at their Device Service Center as I really really really need to recover some data that is now locked on the phone and I can't seem to get past the encryption even with password as it appears the encryption corrupted the OS update installation. Neither 3 hrs with a very helpful AT&T tech nor an hour on the phone with Samsung tech was able to get me into the phone to at least recover data. If i can just recover the data, at that point I have no problem doing a factory reset (and taking a harsh lesson learned) and rebuilding the phone. But I want to exhaust all possible options at data recovery before I go that route, and any help any of you out there can provide would be greatly appreciated. Maybe a way to extract an image of the phone's internal storage to a computer and then decrypt that image to extract the data? Maybe a way to remotely decrypt the phone's internal storage over USB connected to a computer and then extract data that way?
I asked both Samsung and AT&T if they had an FTP site or something where I could download the update to a microSD card and try re-applying the update from external storage (which at least in theory would preserve user data during the update) in the system recovery boot module but both said they couldn't do it. Which I think is BS, since that 700MB file has to come from somewhere. I'm guessing they only want the update distributed via OTA or Kies not as a separate installer package that could be easily shared.
That's about it. I'm really hoping someone can help me out of this jam, but am prepared for the worst - data loss and associated harsh lessons learned. Thanks for listening and I hope no one else out there makes the same mistake I did.

Trying to Odin back to 4.2.2 results in an error and soft bricks the phone. At least my phone is still under warranty and there are no signs of me moding the phone, so i'll be shipping it to Samsung tomorrow.

If you want to go through the trouble, can you Odin back to 4.2 and grab the 4.4.2 OTA update again?

OTA update is downloading a zip file called /data/fota/2400258.cfg, I'll try to capture it. Hoping it doesn't delete it before I can get to it
It's the same filename as the OTA updates for other S 4.4.2 devices but I would guess not the same contents.

I have the 4.4.2 update in place but need to root my device to get rid of all the bloatware again. Anyone finding any success with root apps?

maybe towelroot?

Tried that one. It says my model is not currently supported.

Boo. I know towelroot is configurable, maybe another modstring will work.
Anyways here's the OTA update
https://mega.co.nz/#!r1lxzISZ!5KD71NdDu8Lj96G2mXFlbk75tQgzAZg7FEyHMEkajgA
Warning, none of the below worked for me and I had to restore
I assume this is the install process
Download OTA file
Change 2400258.cfg name to update.zip
Connect your phone to your PC and then move the update.zip file to the phone's /cache
Disconnect the phone from PC, power off the phone and then boot it in Recovery Mode.
Select the ‘Apply Update.zip’ from cache
OR
Apply update from adb
Then adb sideload 2400258.cfg from your computer
Wait until the install process is complete and then reboot your phone in normal mode.
Same as http://www.android.gs/flash-official-android-4-4-2-kk-update-for-att-galaxy-s4/ except with a different file.

Too late. Think I just bricked it too, OTA update failed so it probably wasn't just you.
Correction: I was able to get back to 4.2.2, I used PDA instead of Phone in ODIN. My guess is that the bootloader has to be flashed first before reverting to 4.2.2. However I did a clean wipe many times before so I'm not sure if it did that, in your case it would not be preferred.
I'm seriously sick over this bootloader BS, enough to never buy a Samsung electronic device ever again. Or deal with AT&T in any capacity ever again.
@SamsungSupport gave me a pretty good "we don't care" conversation: https://twitter.com/SamsungSupport/status/507252356657184768

How did you manage that? I stupidly tried to downgrade with Odin and have a soft-brick on my hands. I've tried everything I can think of. I wish SamMobile had the 4.4.2 firmware.

Update made the phone slower and laggy. Someone needs to find a working root method

"Device Memory Damaged" - What can I do?

I tried to upgrade my Note3 (SM-N9005) to the latest firmware (XSP 5.0) while keeping my root.
I followed one of the guides here on XDA and flashed a .PIT file.
After the flash, I got this error "Device Memory Damaged" and that my data partition has been corrupted (and a factory reset is necessary).
I somewhat freaked out and tried to flash the stock firmware over, only for it show "Encryption failed" error.
EDIT: I tried going into recovery mode. I can't remember the exact error but it said something about not being able to mount something
Is the data on my phone's internal memory as good as gone?

Take a look: HERE.

I saw that when I was googling. My device's already out of warranty. :/
most importantly, is my internalSD data as good as gone?

Try using Odin to flash back to stock. I had that come up a few months ago and after a couple trys it worked and I have had no problem since.

I tried doing that but no luck still the same error message

Help, internal storage not recognized after hang and forced reboot (N910F 4.4.4).

Hi everyone! I urgently need help.
Hey
My Note 910F froze itself several times thoughout the day, and i had to power it off and on several times. There was (and is) NO famous emmc read fail error, so emmc hopefully must still be fine. After last reboot it no longer showed samsung logo; only standard recovery message (odin status 1) .
i booted into the recovery and see that internal sd card is recognized as unformatted. Does it mean i need to re-partition with PIT to get access to the data? If yes, then which pit will do for 4.4.4?
Or is there any other way to recover the data from this phone?
If i understand correctly, flashing a service ROM will format everything.
i was using 4.4.4 rom and never changed partition sizes.
would really appreciate any help and advice!!!
thank you!!

Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime IMEI null with no EFS backup

Hi Guys
This is my first post on xda even after using these forums for years. But today I cant find a solution on here or anywhere for that fact, and was literally hoping that I've missed something somewhere.
So to start. I have a Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime (SM-G570F). The other day I was flashing a custom rom when something went wrong during the flashing process and left me with a bricked device. Now I did do a full backup before flashing as I've learned the hard way how important this is. During the flashing it also asked me for a full wipe and to backup the EFS. Even though I did do all the backups and wiped everything< I've ticked both boxes and proceeded with the installation. Everything seemed fine but on 99.9% it froze. Not wanting to do anything I left it until it rebooted the phone by itself, where I was greeted with the download/flash screen. Didn't even give the warning about installing custom software and asked to continue. It just booted straight to the download screen. Tried getting back into recovery only to be greeted with download screen. No matter what I did it just kept booting into download mode. So I then re-flashed TWRP. Getting into the recovery I was able to mount EFS, System, Data, etc. Bu all showed 0mb of 0mb available. I then went to restore everything only to find that the SD Card was also wiped by the process. Thinking that maybe the recovery isn't reading everything correctly, I found the SD Card empty in windows also. No call me names or whatever, (I know my own stupidity) but I never backed up my backups on my PC. So I just proceeded flashing stock firmware as to start from scratch. Everything went as planned until the device got reset by odin. I was greeted with a screen saying "installing system update", but as soon as it reach 32% it changes to "erasing" and then "error" with the "DRK Missing" error. Then it boots to recovery where an error message is saying "unable to mount: EFS (Device or Recourse busy). I cleared cache and did a factory reset and it booted the system (Though mount error still appears in recovery even in custom TWRP/CWM recoveries also). Now I have a 00000..... IMEI number and no network connection. I've spent the last week on the web trying to find a solution with no luck. I'm tired AF because I didn't sleep trying to solve this. I tried flashing stock and custom roms, recovery's, boot-loaders, modems. Tried different software's like Samsung Tool, IMEI repair tool, Strings of adb commands, xposed modules, apps, terminals, etc. I even flashed factory binaries with no luck as to how to change it back.
So in short.
My EFS got wiped.
I lost my IMEI.
I don't have any backups.
Been awake for a week searching for solutions with no luck.
So please if anyone knows of a way to change the IMEI, please help me. I know It's illegal to change IMEI (though not in my country). But I down't want to change it for all the wrong reasons. I just want to change it back to the original found on the back of the phone and on the box. This can't do any harm can it? Please I just want my phone back please!

If this problem is still open, then on Your Phone box is writen imei, or take battery out and under serial number there will be your imei, root your device and use IMEI changer grant root access and type your imei in it, after that reboot and your imei should pop up! I had same issue and this steps made my day! THIS WORKS ONLY ON YOUR IMEI, YOU CAN'T CRACK, STEAL IMEI By this method, don't believe those Dumb ****'s from YouTube!

May I help You!

N910F Stock firmware corrupted.

My note 4, randomly crashed, running completely stock.
Began bootlooping and hasn't stopped.
Have downloaded firmwares from Samsung-Firmware . org, as SamMobile will literally not allow me to download anything for free??
No firmware has worked on the device, Have tried numerous PDA versions as I am unsure which the phone originally is.
The first firmware gave the error "dm-verity verification failed" in the recovery menu.
Have wiped cache and data.
Note: This is actually the second N910F which had corrupted itself and stopped working.
Help! :angel:

Do you want to recover some data from it?
If Not than you can try factory reset from Recovery menu.
Other than that it might be memory corrupted or your battery.
Try to change the battery.

New battery: Allowed the phone to boot past the first "Samsung Note 4" screen to : "Samsung" logo, but the phone made a loud beep/screech.

If you want to reflash the Stock ROM search for a version on https://updato.com
I just reflashed mine (g910f) even twice as I had an Infini-Boot, too. After cleaning Dalvik/Cache and formatting data, taking out the battery, after some time it suddenly displayed that it's going to setup apps and it works since then ...
So maybe just be patient.

to get the latest stock rom for your device, free and fast
look what you have to do:
download this (windows ) application and install it on your windows pc.
This is the aplication that will allow you to search and download the latest stock rom for your phone.
It connect to Samsung servers and in very little time you will have a new stock rom on your pc.
choose samfirm 3.06
extract it on a folder on your PC and run samfirm.exe
in the opening menu type
SM-N910F(or T/V/W etc your phones model)
REGION..... xxx (your region code)
these 2 you can find in a sticker under your battery if you open the phone and take off the battery
tick '' BINARY NATURE''
(If you dont tick BINARY...'' you will get the whole stock rom in one file xxxx.tar.md5 to flash it in the oding using the AP tab)
CHECK UPDATES>DOWNLOAD
THIS WAY YOU WILL GET THE LATEST STOCK ROM FOR YOUR PHONE/REGION
Binary nature means the rom split in 4 files
1. BL- bootloader
2.AP - rom
3. CP - modem
4. CSC - Customer support code(region/country)
This is what a stock rom is consist of
this kind of rom is also called REPAIR ROM, because you can use it to repair your phone.
If you look in odin you will find exactly these 4 entries.
So you can put each in the appropriate box and flash them all and so have a stock rom.
push start
Wait until rom flashes and phone reboots.
Hopefully it will solve your problem and everything will go as we all wish to.
BUT, from what you are describing, i am afraid for 2 things:
1. Your battery is almost dead, thats the good scenario .
With 20 $ you will solve it.
So new battery, new rom> problem solved, or
