New firmware T700ZSU1ANL1 and T800ZSU1ANL1 (Hong Kong both).*
Can i install these in europeans tablets?
Thanks
Any ideas?
I have installed it on the US WiFi only version, so I don't see it being a problem, if it doesn't install you can always Odin back to your stock rom... if you have a 3/4g type tablet then you may want to not flash it..... I'm digging the new kernel personally.

Can anyone confirm that flashing update from a different region manually via Odin on an unrooted device will have exactly the same result as if it was an official OTA update (apart maybe from overwriting /data).
So there should be no problem getting OTA Lollipop when it eventually arrives? And apps which check if device is rooted like the banking and TV ones(Barclays, Sky Go etc) should be seeing 100% official unrooted OS?

Theres an app calplled root cloak to hide root from apps. I dont really care on being on stock rom just to get ota lollipop. There would most liekly be a custom rooted lollipop rom when lollipop is out.

Unfortunately none of the cloaking apps work on Sky Go or Barclays and other banking apps. Neither does RootCloak or RootCloak Plus Xposed mods .
That is why I asked the question. Not really bothered if it just means losing OTAs - provided everything else is still 100% official unrooted after Odin upgrade of UK tab with HK firmware. That's why I ask will this be the case?

I do not know.
My intention when the Lollipop version is released is to repeat the procedure and flash via Odin. I live in Argentina and here things come too late.

Yeah, I'd do that too. But these apps are too important to me to risk losing them so I will probably just chicken out and wait for the OTA. Thing is, if the update works, I can't see any reason why the root-checking apps would be able to tell except if they were spotting non-UK codes. I do know their checks are a lot more sophisticated than looking only for the presence of SU and busybox. They for sure examine parts of the kernel and the DRM files as well.
My logic tells me that if the apps don't work with the HK firmware then all I need do is to flash back to the official UK XXU1 version. That's why I am just asking is anyone knows of any other differences that might be exposed using the Odin method to update?

I used Purple Drake some time ago to root my device but I'd now like lollipop and would rather get that without wiping device (which I think is necessary for a custom ROM install).
First time I tried the OTA, it came up saying that it suspected rooting so wouldn't install. I unrooted but it still didn't work.
Following another thread on here, I tried to use LG PC Suite to fix the issue but I can't get PC suite to fix the problem.
So, can you help me?
I'd be happy with stock OTA lollipop (understanding that I'll lose root, possible permanently) if someone can work out how to get past the root check on the update (I don't have root anymore but it thinks that I might have)
I'd be happy with a custom ROM based on stock, if I didn't have to do a full wipe.
Any helpers?

There's a guide to flashing back to stock in the forum here, I think you need to flash something else too
Thanks - the only guide that I can see about flashing back to stock involves a wipe also.
If you can find a thread that allows a flash back to stock without a wipe, that would be ideal.

No such thing exists. If you are going to do a full and proper unroot or return to stock to take an OTA (as you should) your device will be wiped completely. If you would Bump your G3 and install a custom Lollipop rom (I highly recommend this), then you could upgrade to Lollipop by only wiping your system and data partitions, not your Internal Storage as well. You would lose all yours apps, but not the contents of your internal SD card. If you let Google auto-backup and restore all apps and data on the first boot, it will put everything back the way you had it before you're even used to the new Lollipop environment.
I have looked at the custom ROMs - is there a bumped ROM based on stock where "everything works"?
LG PC Suite let me install Lollipop even though I'm rooted?

I'll give this a go on another computer as whenever i tried the repair or update options,cut kept telling me That it couldn't check the update status. I had assumed That this was tied into the phone being rooted but possibly not.
I think PC Suite doesn't check if you're rooted (AFAIK, don't quote me on this one) but DON'T UPDATE WHILE ROOTED some.people have had bootloops and other issues after updating. Go back to KitKat, root and flash a pre-rooted Lollipop ROM

Thanks for the warning. I have been searching for a rooted Stock ROM but all of the ones that I have found have 'issues' where things don't work.
Whenever I try to do anything with PC Suite, it pops up a dialog saying "Cannot check update unavailability [sic]"
Has anyone else had that problem?

best thing to do is wait, to be honest. Lollipop has only just started to roll out to most markets, so devs haven't realistically had much time to work their magic.
ChupaChups is a decent ROM (although I think it's for the international D855 only) and is based on 5.0, so try that?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/rom-chupachups-rom-t2941412
Also it's based on 20D which is fairly recent (my D855 only just got the 20E update)

Hey guys, im jumping on this thread as im in the same boat with OP, im on stock rooted kitkat and just got the OTA update but id rather keep root so our only option here is a custom ROM i suppose?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10." Dazzling White 16GB Wifi + LTE (both in one).
Which "version" as in SM-T8xxx) should I be looking for? What's the highest possible Android version for it atm? 5.1 yet? Are there Gapps to install? Last time I tried to remove some Samsung stuff, my Gapps stopped working completely.
I would really like to keep this device rooted and up to date with as little bloatware as possible.
Also, is it possible to return to stock and unroot, to make it look as if you never rooted it? If so, is there a download link somewhere?
Thanks in advance.

Settings/general/about device and you will see SM-T8XX. The highest version depends on your device number and stock/custom but generally Samsung is only up to 5.0.2 max amd some parts of the world do not even have that for an OTA update (www.sammobile.com will have listed the latest official firmware). 5.1 only for some custom roms. As for gaps that is why I tend to go with roms stock or other wise pre debloted by ppl on here instead of messing with it myself too much annoyance trying to figure out what is safe to get rid of and what is not, but having a backup is always a great idea.

I basically rooted the stock 5.0.2, flashed twrp, removed some programs, and restored them again since Gapps were crashing after removal. I just want to put it back how it all was, so I am eligible for OTA's again.
I honestly have no clue if just flashing the stock firmware will set you to being eligible to reciece ota updates. You should always make a backup befpre flashing anything for the exact reason of what happened to you. But saying that www.Sammobile.com does have the stock firmware that you can download.

Yes, I examined an OTA's script for the Nexus 10 and it does a check sum validation on a large number of apps before it will apply the update. If any of the check sums fail the update is aborted. That means if you remove or alter any of the files/apps being checked the OTA cannot be applied but if you have added files/apps that then those changes are ignored and you will have the OTA applied. Rooting adds files. I suspect that all Android OTAs work the same as they do directly from Google (Nexus devices).

Hi if anyone can help- I'm on the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 4 after 2 Note 7's and a Note 3 before that on Biggin's so I've sorta been out of the root game. I want to downgrade from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1. I am downloading the full firmware for the Note 4 from further back in this thread (N910VVRU2CPA1) and am currently on (N910VVRU2CPG2).
From what I understand, I need to do a factory reset, then go to Odin and flash the firmware. I have Odin 3.10.7 and am downloading the N910VVRU2CPA1 as we speak. I see 'hsbadr' firmwares in his thread and the PIT file TRLTE_USA_VZW.pit which I'm not sure is compatable pit file for the specific 5.1.1 firmware or the necessary pit file is included in the full firmware and can anyone tell me if these are the right steps?are these the right steps Any information would be greatly appreciated,

Before you can start rooting, you'll need to be on 5.1.1 BPA1. If you're currently on 6.0.1, just download the BPA1 firmware from Sammobile, factory reset on 6.0.1, then flash BPA1 stock via Odin.

Yeah they're out there but that thread hasn't been updated recently. Basically the order after pf3 is pg2, pj2, and then cpl1. The one you want, if your planning on rooting, is bpa1. Also, as far as your question in the op about the pit file, it should really only be used if absolutely necessary. It's in case your partitions have been corrupted for some reason and you need to repartition your device.
Edit- I was going to link to those other firmwares but they are buried in the thread that your already looking in. Either way they aren't necessary for you to unlock your bootloader, you can go straight from cpl1 to bpa1.

Hey thanks for confirming all this. So all I need to download and install is the bpa1 firmware via Oden with the AP button I think- I've got a few different versions of Oden on my pc. It's been a while since I've flashed firmware on a phone but I remember it was easy. So just save my pictures, any files, etc. on the sd card, remove it, then do a factory reset or when I put the setting into usb download mode, and flash the firmware this will automatically factory reset the phone? Also earlier today Verizon has been trying to push an software upgrade. After I unlock the bootloader and install twrp then flash a rom, do I need to somehow disable the update notice. I remember having to do that once with another phone.
What rom are you on? Thanks again for the Info-

Yeah that all sounds spot on. I would definitely do the factory reset before you start, but other than that your good. To block the updates, you can uninstall the SDM apps. There are 2 of those and you'll need root to remove them, but you can disable them without root with that debloater tool. The rom I'm currently using is kind of work in progress. I have a couple stock based roms in the dev section, one is stock_plus that has a stock feel with some mods added and the other is Modest Rom that is got some grace apps added and system ui mods.

Yeah that all sounds spot on. I would definitely do the factory reset before you start, but other than that your good. To block the updates, you can uninstall the SDM apps. There are 2 of those and you'll need root to remove them, but you can disable them without root with that debloater tool. The rom I'm currently using is kind of work in progress. I have a couple stock based roms in the dev section, one is stock_plus that has a stock feel with some mods added and the other is Modest Rom that is got some grace apps added and system ui mods. You can find them here and here if you want to check them out.

Awesome, I'm going to check those out but I forgot the biggest question of all... how to get rid of the Galaxy lag- is there a rom or tweak where this can be fixed since recovery cache delete and cleaning tools dont really do much?
Thanks again-

Custom kernels help a lot. The problem is it's kind of slim pickings for our specific model, but some of the international kernels work well too. Oscar kernel is made for the 910v so that's probably the most reliable but if your like me, I like to use a permissive kernel and Ram kernel is not a bad choice for that though it's not as feature rich.

I really dont know the difference... from what I remember a kernel is the layer between the software and the hardware- a key component of the os. I'm guessing the permissive ones can be used for different roms or firmware? You can probably tell I really don't that much about the root game. The last time I flashed a firmware was on my note 3 after I bricked it. Then rerooted and got on to biggins rom which was great ut I never understood or learned how to use xposed. Anyway, I downloaded Modest Rom, PJ2 _STOCK .tar and am downloading cpl1_tar but I know that once I flash bpa1 firmware which puts the phone back on 5.1.1. I see your roms are 6.0.1 roms, after I flash the bpa1, will the bootloader be unlocked? If so can I then just flash the cpla1_tar or is that not a full firmware? or use one of the two 6.0.1 firmwares from where I found the cpa1? Are the kernels different from 6.0.1 and 5.1.1 and where to find the downloads?? I appreciate the tips especially coming from a develpoer and i'm happy to make a donation- I'm not sure how?
Thanks again!

Hey buddy, did you get it figured out? I broke my arm at work on Sunday and of course it's my right arm so I'm having some issues responding back on my note with one hand. I bet I've dropped this thing 20 times already.

Oh man that sucks- hopefully they gave you some good pain meds. Anyway, I havent taken th plunge yet- once I get on to 5.1.1 then twrp, I want to go on to 6.0.1 but am unsure as to what point the bootloader is unlocked or exactly what to do to upgrade to 6.0.1 once I crack the bl. I just dont want to go through the dreaded set up everything twice.
Samsung just put out a new update and the oreo rooting method listed on here fails at odin. Im wanting to root because i found some interesting things in the phone info app under secret codes. one of them was unlock kernel and a few others i wanted to check out but it seems its blocked so i need root to bypass the block. anyone know of how root can be achieved in this new update? THANKS

They blocked root on that update so you are now stuck on a non rootable device. Sorry

It's fine. I was gonna be rooted only for a short time just to check those things out. It sucks not having root but I'd rather not deal with the lag from the boot image if it worked on this update that is. Maybe someone will crack this update in time cause nothings unhackable.
So is downgrading possible still or does this update block downgrading to? I haven't tried yet but if you have then save me some time

Yes, blocks downgrading, but you should be able to flash any other updated carrier firmware and the U version

What difference would it make flashing other carrier firmware over this one?

The U firmware would remove the Verizon bloatware. For example, if you left Verizon and went to T-Mobile...the U firmware of T-Mobile firmware could be installed to get the full bands for LTE coverage available. But if you are on Verizon and happy, probably not worth the trouble.
I assume OTA would break root, is there a certain way to do this other than flashing a custom Android 11 Rom? I'd prefer to be on stock Android 11 with root but not sure how to go about it

So, if it's rooted, you won't get an update, or rather you won't be able to apply it. So it won't 'break' root, it just won't happen.
Sure, just crossflash to the newer rom, it has no effect on root. Doing so doesn't affect root, it will stay exactly as it was prior to crossflashing.

Forgot you're using an at&t rom, and those kdz aren't available. So, choices, go to an 'open' rom, which should have much of the at&t functionality, but maybe not all. Or, re lock the boot loader, do the update ota, and then root it again.
Be careful though, to relock a boot loader the rom has to be completely stock, no mods whatsoever.
personally, I'd just go with one of the 'open' roms... and I'd never use at&t lol, but that's just me.

I'd suggest the USA version, it's the us open, should have all the functionality for all the carriers, minus the bloatware.
Except for one thing, some carriers, like at&t, have in the past, not sure if they still do, limit things like volte ability to just their phones / roms.
that, and because they don't make their kdz available, I would never use them.
