[Q] cannot take upgrade do not know why

[cherylbaker]

ok so I wanted to take the 4.4.4 upgrade. so I went into kiev and installed the stock setup.
all went well and I have stock recovery but it still says I have a custom device and wont do the upgrade. I looked and sure enough it says status custom???
Any ideas as to why this would be??
any ideas how to fix it??

Save your data, then try doing a Factory Reset, see if takes you back to official. If your KNOX is 0x1, then you can flash a fresh copy of 4.4.2 through a recovery like twrp or cwm. If you where rooted, Towel Root and others will not root 4.4.4 yet.

I have no data. I reset my phone to factory via kiev. I have no root no custom recovery. . Nothing yet it says I am custom...

has anyone got this upgrade that has Knox tripped..

Cheryl, I had the same problem when trying to go back to stock 4.4.2 from being rooted. Sometimes it doesn't stick the first couple of times, I don't know why. First, get a fresh copy of 4.4.2 NC5, here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712205 this is a complete copy OS/bootloader/baseband. Just follow the instructions on the thread. Here is a link for Samsung drivers, and Odin v 1.85 http://www.downloadodin.info/download-odin-1-85 I think Odin v 1.85 works best.

Tried the update and phone was slower idk but I restored my previous rom and will keep it that way until android l. If you haven't downloaded it yet don't bother there's nothing exciting accept you can say I'm running 4.4.4

You download odin than downliad twrp than run odin and check ap and select the twrp you downloaded. Put your phone in download mode and start odin. One thing you need to watch out for is after the process finishes the phone reboots and you need to have it go immediately into recovery instead of booting up.. if you need more info you will need to do some reading there are plenty of how toos and i can't type this much on my phone
