Does anyone have the flashable 1.10.605.10 update?

Trying to update firmware to 1.10.605.10 after S-OFF.
Changing recovery to stock, then taking OTA errors out for me using the stock ROM.
Thanks!

Yeah ...its been posted here

I tried flashing the modified zip, as well as the original, with twrp recovery and both received an error.
The modified zip gave this error -
"Error flashing zip '/sdcard/modified_OTAPkg.zip' Updating partition details..."
The rom I am using is the VZW Stock Rooted deodex, should I be using something different?

The update doesn't work with a deodexed ROM. It also likely doesn't work if you've removed some of Verizon's bloat software on the stock odexed ROM.
@CNexus wants to make an updated flashable zip for rooted users, as well as a fully flashable ROM (if I am reading that right), but needs the right framework files.

Both the modified zips, and the modified recovery won't work for me for some reason.
The modified zip just errors out in TWRP.
If I try the stock recovery method -
Fastboot signed stock recovery
Take the OTA w stock ROM
Errors out
or
Flash Andy's odex stock ROM
Fastboot signed stock recovery
Take OTA
Updates firmware to .10
Fastboot TWRP, flash SU
Restore stock ROM from TWRP backup
Firmware is back to .08 now
Does restoring the stock ROM in TWRP downgrades my firmware to .08 again?
Confused :/

Restoring a backup generally completely wipes out the current software in place. If you flashed the odexed ROM, took the OTA with the stock recovery, then restored a backup of .08, then you lost the .10 update because it was on that installed ROM. You overwrote it.
If you want the update, which was so small and negligible that it's not really even important enough to take, then you have to flash the odexed ROM, take the update with the stock recovery, and stay on that ROM. That's the only way that works presently. No one has released a working odexed or deodexed ROM with the update included, nor is there a working flashable zip that doesn't require you to be on and stay on the stock odexed ROM.

Thank you. That makes perfect sense now.

Actually if you took the update while on stock recovery...the actual firmware portion did update and will stay updated regardless of what rom software version you are running. The update was both a software (.10) AND firmware update.

As stated earlier the OTA doesn't play well with deodex ROMs. I figured out how to do this with no issue. Be warned as this will wipe your device. Download the decrypted RUU and boot into RUU mode and follow Zarboz's instuctions for installation. That will get you back to stock. What I did was:
relock bootloader for RUU flash
flash the RUU
OTA (don't set up your phone bc bootloader unlock will wipe it again )
unlocked bootloader again
installed custom recovery via fastboot
made unrooted stock nandroid
flash SuperSU
Also, once you have custom recovery installed you can pull the recovery_signed.img from the decrypted RUU zip and copy/paste it into fastboot directory and flash stock recovery at will for updates for your stock ROM. Tested that method and it works. I did it this way bc I was having the same issues with failed updates so I said screw it and went full on RUU

Questions: Upgrade note 2 from 4.1.2 to 4.3 (Custom ROM)

The more I read , the more options I encountered and Im confused.
Some rom flashing expert please confirm the following steps to upgrade from stock 4.1.2 to a custom ROM 4.3 Mk4
1) I download Odin
2) then download philz recovery
3) Flash philz recovery using Odin
Ok at this point , if i reboot the Phone should still be working fine right?
Then to flash a custom 4.3 Rom mk4 I do the following
1) Download ROM
2) Download MultiTool advanced
3) install Multitool Zip file using Philz recovery previously installed
4) Aroma will start and I will get options to flash ROM
I will keep all at default in Aroma, and thus the Custom ROM will be installed
The 2 ROMS im interested are Dr ketans and DN3
Now since both roms are pre rooted and Knox free, I should be able to revert back to 4.1.2
Now I need someone to tell how to go abck to 4.1.2 and how to flash official 4.3 in case ROM I flashed is not upto expectation and results in buggy phone.
Please correct me when necessary plz

Mam / Sir any update here? because This is also my concerned. Thanks to someone that may lead us.

I think a simple way to revert to stock 4.1.2 is to do a nandroid backup from the recovery before flashing the custom rom.
If you do not like the rom, you do a wipe and restore the backup.

just another step before Philz is to download ketans multi tool v2 advanced and then root and install philz via that...

you just flash the 4.1.2 FW back using odin

[Q] Unsure how to get to latest update - Rooted Stock

I currently have Stock 4.2.2 Rom - S-Off - Rooted - TWRP
How can I get to the newest Stock 4.3 (Radios, etc) ?
Is it easier to just flash stock recovery, then take the update, then flash TWRP and superuser back?
Or has someone made the update into a root-friendly flash-able zip yet?
Thanks in advance if this is a dumb question, but I wanted to ask so I get it right the first time.

Thanks for the info...
So I can just flash these with no loss of data? Or do will I need to restore data after I flash the rom?
My plan would be:
1) flash "Odexed Full ROM"
2) flash "2.10.605.1 firmware"
That should put me latest update stock right? (I might need to re-flash superuser)
I can flash all of this through TWRP?

You cannot flash the firmware in twrp.
It has to be done following the instructions in the post.
I would do firmware and then the rom.
Put the rom on your internal storage before flashing the rom.
Flash the firmware as instructed, then in recovery flash the rom, reboot.
Do not try to reboot in between, it wont work.
If you do it in that order you won't have to wipe, you will be on the latest OTA and have a rooted boot.img.
Supersu is installed already. You can prevent it from updating or flash the newest one here.
Read the OP and post#2 and follow it you should be fine.
Yes you want odex coming from full stock...

Thank you for all of the help santod040 !!
Your files and instructions worked perfectly.
I'll make sure to check in on your threads when the 4.4 update comes around.

flashing A.I.C.P rom? Which recovery to use before flashing

So i have been thinking of flashing A.I.C.P (6.0.1) rom on my zenny... Currently i am running Echoe rom and AEL kernel with recovery as twrp 2.8.7.3 (Lollipop based)... I was reading the A.I.C.P thread in which it states just to flash the rom & the gapps... but before flashing i wanted to ask if i can flash the rom using my current recovery (TWRP 2.8.7.3 (LP based) or do i need to flash the marshmallow based (TWRP 2.8.7.7) recovery first and then flash the A.I.C.P rom? Please guide me in flashing this rom with proper custom recovery...i know i can flash the recovery later as well but i am confused that do i need to flash the MM based recovery as this rom is MM based.. Please help i dont want to screw my zenfone right now... i am too lazy right now to flash & then get bootloop & then again flash it stock...

Yea your lollipop recovery should work fine, I haven't updated to the latest one yet either

[SMP600] on 4.4.2 custom - want to upgrade, I'm on ND1 do I need to upgrade firmware?

The title almost says it all.
I am on a custom 4.4.2 ROM (using ND1 firmware) and want to look into upgrading to 5.1.1 or higher. Obviously rooted with TWRP recovery.
I know I'll need to upgrade my TWRP from 2.6.0.3 or whatever it is on right now to 3 or better - but I need to know if I will have to flash official stock 5.1 to upgrade to the newest firmware, if there is a newest firmware, to get the install clean with minimal errors or can I just flash a custom TW ROM and hope that upgrades the firmware, if there is new firmware, or is there a thread I can be directed to so I can read up on what I need to do to upgrade?
Or since I am already rooted with TWRP, can I just upgrade or flash my twrp to a known good version and flash a rom then be on my way?
Thanks in advance!

Dear Friend , It's all clear that if if you want to install any TW Lollipop ROMs, you need to first install a Lollipop firmware ( Using Odin ) to install a Lollipop bootloader ( do not even think of ticking the update bootloader in Odin because then you wouldn't be able to revert into KK firmware and then you can't run any KK ROM on Lollipop bootloader ) and then install a TWRP ( I recommend ShevT's one which is less glitchie and faster than the official ones because of the F2FS support !! ) and then you're free to go the way you like
... Hope it helps ... With Best Wishes - Hitman1376
