[REF][GPE] Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition Stock OTA URLs
- Thread starter oldblue910
- Start date
Hello, I want to convert my brother's TMo S4 into the GPE but leave it stock. It's 100% stock right now so I could just root, flash TWRP then flash the GPE ROM and then flash the stock recovery again in ODIN to still get OTAs? Is there a better way like just flashing the GPE ROM in ODIN to begin with to avoid switching back and forth between recoveries? Thanks.

How to flash these
I appreciate all the work done by you folks keeping these updates, well, up-to-date.
I read the first couple of posts, a bunch in the middle and a bunch at the end but I still have a couple of questions - perhaps pin the answers to the front of the forum?

- These downloads represent repackaged OTA updated images - right?
- Are there checksums for these files (I might trust you but I don't trust anonymous servers)?
- Are these flashable from recovery (TeamWin) or via Odin or both?

Here's a consolidated list of LMY47O otas, everything from LMY47O.S008.150802 (UDOH2) → LMY47O.S008.160301 (UDPC1) was from the previous pages in this thread, most of them were found by Navitron.
Everything after that I found myself directly.
The fact that samsung never bothered making more then 1 ota per update means that it took around 12 hours to update from KTU84P.S001 to LMY47O.S008.160601, even longer if I didn't sideload the otas due how much faster it is to download on a pc after getting the filename

bro, i have the version 151001 on my cellphone. I need to install each one or i can jump to the last one?
Is it possible that the links in the post https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67739557&postcount=874 can be updated in the OP?
@TheManii,
I am curious how did you find these links out? I have been trying to find the ways to find these links on google servers and found absolutely no info. I am not a developer, just a user, but would like to learn for sure.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. - Will appreciate if you could update this one too, https://xdaforums.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_4/GT-I9505G I can try to do it, but I am not aware of the dates and don't want to screw up the page as I have no experience in this.

I found the links by checking for update on the phone. Once the OTA was downloaded before installing it I ran a SHA-1 on the zip file and appended that for the download name. I think google changed how they named there OTA download links toward the end of the GPE life. Anyways that's all academic now since GPE program is dead.
If you are still using this phone I recommend LineageOS. https://download.lineageos.org/jfltexx
These are way out of date to recommend using still.

Thanks, mate.
The reason I asked, I am already on lineage variant ROM. In the process of flashing Oreo ROM, something went wrong and I can not get cell phone data on the phone, nor could I install Oreo ROM due to small partition size. So I went back to 7.1.2 ROM I was using. Everything else works just as good.
I tried to go back to my stock 5.0.1 ROM that I had a backup, still, I can not get it working. Hence, I was thinking if I could flash the stock ROM, maybe I will be able to restore it. There is a thread where there are all stock ROMs listed but when I tried them, none could fix the issue. So I thought if I could get the last update from Google's server directly, maybe it will have everything I need and will be able to fix the issue.

24This thread is for owners of the Google Play Edition Galaxy S4 GT-I9505G to discuss OTA updates. It is NOT for discussion of how to convert an I9500/I9505/whatever variant to a Google Edition (which cannot be done anyway), discussions on how to get the GPE ROM onto other variants, or discussions on the various GPE-based custom ROMs for other variants. There are countless threads on XDA about these topics and that would be a more appropriate forum for discussing them. Thank you.
Hi Everyone,
As I do with many Nexus devices, I intend to maintain a thread here with links to all the stock OTA updates for the Galaxy S4 GT-I9505G (Google Play Edition). Each time there is an OTA update, its direct link on Google's servers will be posted here for reference and posterity. I also mirror these files at http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/galaxy-s4/jgedlteue.
Any questions about flashing these OTA updates can be discussed and answered here as well.

pclov3r8Um. HELP. Anyone on 5.1 getting TWRP to work??? I flash it, boot recovery, and it vibrates to tell me it crashed and reboots normal. Without TWRP I can't build an ODIN image.
EDIT:
Belay that. I reverted to an older TWRP and I got it working now. Pulling system so I can complete the ODIN image.

The link isn't there yet. Probably about 30 minutes or so. It's uploading to my MF account as we speak and I'll update that post as soon as the upload finishes. It's been a pleasure serving this community. Enjoy!

It's live. Have at it.
5It said 5.1 and security updates. Did not call out stagefright explicitly.
And of course now the other device won't find the system update :crying:

Holy snikes, we found a unicorn! LMAO I'll build us a new ODIN image as soon as we can get a hold of the OTA.4
Yup. I concur fully with this assessment. Even the Nexus devices are no longer guaranteed support beyond 24 months. The GPE was a nice experiment. Hell, I LOVED the S4 GPE and still do for a lot of reasons. It's been a pleasure serving this community bringing ODIN images for new releases. I think at this point, it's time to look to the rom developers for continuation on this device. That is the one beauty of our GPE....it's unlocked and open.
