I just got my S6. It came with OC9. I downloaded the update, but it appears to be 5.1.1. I do not want to go there yet. I want to root and get to OE2. I have downloaded both OCF and OE2. Do I have to install OCF and then OE2 or can I go directly to OE2?

My galaxy siii was rooted before kitkat was out, and I have been using it until now and have not yet update to KitKat yet because AT&T is not part of it any more.
How do I get KitKat on my phone? Do I have to unroot the phone and put it back into AT&T mode to download or what should I do?
this might help.

You will need to unroot your phone and have the stock recovery.
Thank you for both replies gentleman

I might add to this...if you removed any stock carrier or vendor apps from 4.3 while being rooted...you'll have to restore them via a Titamium Backup or some other way or the OTA update will not install properly. (I realized that the OTA update from 4.3 to 4.4.2 will patch these apps to update them to 4.4.2 compatibility)
If you can't do that or if its unreasonable to do that based on the way the phone was modified while rooted...I suggest flashing the stock 4.3 rom via Odin and then take the OTA.
Id recommend flashing the 4.3 firmware via Odin to begin with. Its starting to seem like a lot of people who even just have to unroot are having problems with the ota. I think Odin flashing stock 4.3 will give the best chance of a successful update.

I am having this issue. I rooted on 4.3 and removed Google books and newsstand. I then uprooted and did a factory reset , so everything in download mode says "official" but the apps were still missing so I downloaded them from the play store. My question is will this let me get the OTA now or do I have to push the apps to the /system directory somehow? Also if I flash the 4.3 ODIN tar file, will it trip my warranty bit? It's at 0 right now and want to keep it that way until my warranty is up.
The firmware shouldn't trip the bit, but I can't promise that. Im sure its confirmed one way or the other in its thread though.
As for those apps, they'd have to be system apps, so just installing normally won't help. More importantly though, they would also need to be the same version that was originally built into the firmware. The apps you mentioned have seen many updates and using the current versions will not work.
I got the phone 2 weeks ago and it came with 4.3 installed on it. Would I be able to use the current version and just push them to /system/app with titanium backup? I am trying to get the OTA without tripping any warranty or security measures.
Im on Stock ANK2, rooted.
I see alot of "how to" do this and that with lollipop ....
So.. is Lollipop available to us now courtesy Sprint eith OTA or Odin'ed?
or are you guys doing custom roms?
thanks
BOB7 .tar hasn't been pulled yet, so you have to take the OTA via Full stock NK2, meaning non-rooted official, not modified firmware.
On touchwiz head to Settings > System Update > Update Now and you should see a dialogue for updating, it won't tell you what firmware it is but its the lollipop firmware, should be 1GB in size.

the method described there worked for me. You download a copy of the stock, unrooted rom, use Odin to flash it, then do an OTA update to get lollipop (it's about a 1gb download). Then you'll download a small file, use Odin to flash it which will give you root, and then you can use Flashify from the app store to put TWRP back on there. Just follow the directions on the above link.

I used Kies to update my previously rooted 5.0.1 Note 4. I now have Android 5.1.1 Lollipop VPU4COG5. With the update, my TWRP recovery was removed. I flashed TWRP recovery 2.8.1.1 via Odin and then, lacking a tar file, downloaded and flashed BeastModeStock 1.0-N910P-OG5.zip, which is shown installed on my phone. Problem is, the phone is NOT rooted. I cannot open superSU, getting a message "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!..."
Any suggestions?
Thanks

All you did was flash the OG5 pre rooted kernel over your pure stock odexed rom. This alone does not give you root. If you wait a little while you can download and flash the new rom i'm uploading right now. It's pre-rooted and all you have to do is flash the rom and go about your business. Look for a new rom thread later tonight.
How would I go about upgrading to an OTA stock ROM? I remember a while back that trying to upgrade via OTA would bootloop the phone, and I've not seen anything about how to go about this since then. Still on 4.4.2, looking to get onto whatever can still have root.

Samsung is [probably] rolling out Marshmallow for our SM-T705. How do we un-root and back to stock in order to get OTA by the time samsung actually release it? I've rooted my device with Odin and CF-Autoroot and also TWRP is installed. Thanks! :highfive:

Just flash a the lollipop stock rom for your country with odin, it will remove twrp and root and you will get the ota update.
