[How-To] Update to Official GPE Android 5.0 UDNL3 (12-12-2014)

[muniz_ri]

I am sure you will soon begin seeing some Custom ROM's based on today's GPE 5.0 release. In the meantime here is a method to start enjoying 100% Stock GPE 5.0 now!

Instructions:
1. I recommend that you use the latest TWRP v2.8.4.0.
2. Perform and Advanced Wipe and wipe "Dalvick Cache", "System", "Data", and "Cache."
3. Flash the I9505GUEUDNL3_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip
4. Last, press "Home" then press "Reboot," reboot into "Download Mode" and flash the M919_NK2_Stock_Modem+Bootloader.tar.md5 in Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v.3.09+). Done!

Tip: For blazing fast speed turn off animations from developer options and reboot.

Notes:
1. 5.0 seems to require the 4.4.4 modem/non-hlos otherwise security settings will force close. Therefore as of 12/14 the above process will also update your modem/non-hlos + bootloader to NK2(4.4.4) in order to ensure a consistent user experience.
2. The NK2 modem may not stick on your first attempt when flashing the modem + bootloader file in Odin. Should that happen re-flash the file until it sticks.



Alternative Odin Method:
1. Extract the I9505G_UDNL3_GPE_5.0_for_M919.tar and flash in Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+).
2. Power down and boot into stock recovery and perform a factory data reset. Done!

Notes:
1. This is a pre-rooted "All-in-One" Odin package which will update your System and Kernel to 100% stock GPE 5.0 and your Modem, Non-hlos, Recovery, and Bootloader to NK2.
2. The NK2 modem may not stick on the first attempt causing security settings to force close. If that happens flash the M919_NK2_Stock_Modem+Bootloader.tar.md5 until it sticks.

does this have the knox and all that nonsense with the voided warranty stuff?
just wondering.

Are you referring to data drops without a knox bootloader? I'm assuming that will likely be an issue with this ROM but I'm on a knox BL and have not experienced any issues. As for warranty my warranty was void a long time ago so don't know. Others will have to chime in on that.

Knox is dependent on which Android version of TouchWiz you're running. It is on 4.3 and 4.4.2. If you are on TouchWiz 4.2.2, you can flash this rom without dealing with any of the Knox warranty crap at all.

EDIT: So far it works, but I get a FC on Settings everytime I access Security. If I remember correctly, it can be fixed if keystore.msm8960.so is deleted in /system/lib/hw

Yes, deleting the keystore file solves that issue. I will upload a new version of the ROM without that file. Thanks for the heads-up!

Baseband?

I9505GUEUCNE3... does this have a baseband/modem update as well?

No, the ROM only flashes system and kernel. I have not tested the NE3 modem on our device but the NB4 modem and non-hlos work just fine with this ROM.

This is a great Rom. I've been using it for a 2 days now and have 0 problems. why not move it to S4 Android Development?

Thanks, glad to hear it's working well.

And since I kept it completely stock I'm not sure it meets the criteria to be in the development section. Anyway I put it together for my own use and just put it out there in case anyone wanted to try it out. Enjoy
