after a long wait for the firmware to be released of the S4 running OH7 , it still has not been released. However i decided to make it myself and now we finally have it. I have tested it on my S4 that came with OH7 build originally. So here you go guys, Firmware containing OH7 running lollipop 5.0.1 with stock kernel 3.4 of mon Sep. 7 2015.
little guide to help you install the firmware if you need it.
you will find the firmware link below that i have uploaded and as for odin you can just google it. now im sure you can use other versions of odin but always safest to be up-to-date.
you will need: OH7 firmware file (Download link at the bottom), odin 3.10.7, WinRar and USB data cable
steps:
1. put phone into download mode by holding the home+vol up+power keys at the same time.
2. plug your phone into your PC (be sure drivers for the phone are installed correctly)
3. open up your handy tool of Odin
4. open up the firmware file you have downloaded in Winrar and extract it, you will then be given an MD5 File containing the firmware
5. click on "AP" in odin and browse for the file (odin might not respond after that but be patient, it will)
6. after the program responds, double check that F. Reset time and Auto Reboot are the ONLY ones ticked/checked
7.Go ahead and hit start and sit back for a few minutes and let odin do its thing
8. after all goes well and in the top box says "PASS!" then your phone will reboot and be good as new.
Just a heads up that this firmware is meant and made for the prepaid variant of the Verizon S4. I wouldnt recommend trying it on the postpaid S4 for the postpaid firmware has negative effects on the prepaid variant so id assume it have the same outcome on postpaid variant. Also im not responsible like anyone else out there if you brick your phone by not following the steps correctly or flashing it incorrectly in some way. Just a disclaimer that everyone puts out on here. hope this helps everyone. enjoy!
If the link becomes a broken link, let me know and i will update. i just need to move the file from time to time due to high data traffic
