VZW OTA 4.4.4 Just pushed.

[ironside2011]

Another update is coming (less than one week so far).

This one NI2 build.

I just installed this update. Really don't see any difference between the last update

 

[cr4ck3r4lif3]

Process will be the same as here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55347753&postcount=19

Except for step 6 I will need to (or someone else can) export the NI2 kernel from OTA zip file and then we can flash back (for now we can flash NHA kernel and later NI2 kernel when we have it can be flashed on top).

If anyone can get me the OTA zip same as in this post I can pull and create the flashable NI2 kernel for you guys: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55344587&postcount=8

EDIT: I just checked and it is, man that was quick.

Is the kernel downgrade root method working with the new firmware?

No file yet. I'm not sure how to make the tar.md5. I can do the tar but not sure on the md5. I just came back to Linux a few days ago.

To convert filename.tar to filename.tar.md5, use the following commands on Linux or Cygwin:

md5sum -t filename.tar >> filename.tar
mv filename.tar filename.tar.md5

I just figured it out via the search but thanks, that's a but faster than the method I found. Here it is if anyone wants to try with the previous directions. Just use my file instead. This is for testing root so flash at your own risk untill it's confirmed rootable. I'm off to dinner now.

EDIT: I renamed the file...

Sounds nice and all ..HD voice and HD video calls...how bad of a data drain do think the HD video calls will be

aboot counter is still at 1 so a full odin downgrade to prior firmwares should still be possible.

Where did you get the NI2 update? OTA? I'm going to flash back to stock and take the OTA if it is available now.

Yes its available via OTA.

 

[zdroidz]

So I flashed the stock unrooted file provided in odin and all went well except now the software updater says my phone is up to date. How do I get the OTA then?

Yup, Odin back to NE9 then OTA and flash NC2 kernel, root then back to NI2 kernel.
