How to get download links

[Shanghai.Knight]

Okay, disclaimer, I did not do this, I got the information from the s5 forum. Thanks to user @RK for the info. This is what he says:

To get the ota files, The first boot after you take an OTA update, dial *#8736364#. This brings up the firmware update menu. Click on 'Result'. There, you will see a screen that looks like the one attached.

Here is how things worked for G900A:

I went to the server URL in the attached image using stock Samsung browser. This downloaded a file named desc and then I got a prompt to download the OTA. I clicked OK and the download started and failed.

However, the failed download did create a file named desc.bin on my phone. I clicked on that file and to my surprise, I got a pop up menu that had a download option. I selected download and then finally the full 911mb file named desc.bin downloaded on my phone.

I renamed it, changed the extension to zip and uploaded it!​

Is this the official MM update?

Thanks OP, I tried this but looks like it tried to download D017 to D019 image of 91.1 MB and I don't think its MM

He never said it'd be MM just whatever the current OTA is.

So, I do have the update file right now, but how did you get the update URL once you've got that file? I can't find it.

Edit: never mind, already found it.
