I received an update this morning, and was wondering what the differences are?

I'm wondering too. I hope we got a stagefright patch.
EDIT: I downloaded the Stagefright detector from Google Play after installing the OTA and my phone no longer shows as vulnerable. So I'd wager that was the primary purpose of the patch.

Does anyone know if this OTA will break root?

2nd this question and expand it a little bit. If my bootloader is unlocked and I have S-Off (is that the same thing? I forget), will this update mess anything up? I have S-Off and am rooted but am still on the stock ROM.
Any updates on if this Breaks root/roms or anything? I'm Currently running Santods NusenseSix and have to keep going into airplane mode to stop the download.
Oil and water don't mix never take updates if your rooted. Someone slot smarter then me will come up with an alternative

There's a new OTA update available for the Galaxy S4 SGH-M919V variant from Wind Mobile, Eastlink, Videotron in Canada.
This is the update that finally brings the much awaited Apps2SD feature to our phones. It also includes the following enhancements:
- Some new icons in the settings
- Additional 'Smart Pause' button in quick settings
- Stability improvements
- Upgrades the camera firmware.
- Storage shown as 16GB now, but 6.38 GB is occupied by System memory under 'Misc'.
Firmware version: M919VVLUAMG1
So its official. TMo is the last carrier on Earth to get this update.

Unfortunately, it appears to be the case as of now. I really can't imagine it being that far off now. Since, these versions are identical!
Will the update kill ROOT?

The OTA will fail to update if you're rooted.
I had to Odin back to stock and then apply the OTA update.
So yes, the update will break root.
I haven't tried to root it since, so I can't report any progress there.

It failed because it said your device is modified and prevent you from updating or it failed in the middle of updating?
tmobile needs to speed up this apps to sd update.....
I love how they are trying to hide the space the system uses under miscellaneous. This might trick people into not complaining about having more available disk space. I've heard good things about this update... Just want it already.
Still lovin' Tmo more than Sprint!!! 15-26mb beats 100k all day long. And I enjoy being able turn the camera sound off without rooting.

man, i got excited for a minute when i read new firmware update.
T-Mobile is usually quick to send out updates, I wonder why it's taking them long to release this one? The S3 got the JB update pretty quick if I'm not mistaken.

you can blame me for the update not being released and it wont be released for months, according to my sources. I talked to t mobile about all the bugs they have, so they said fine, we will do everything never to give bugs again, hence a long update period...It was probably my phone calls that lead to this wait

You son of a ..... ;__; :crying:
I realize it's always an agonizing wait to get your hands on the newest firmware. However, there's a bright side to it. You all are still able to root and tinker with your devices.
I haven't been able to root the newest firmware using motochopper and am hesitant to try CF-Autoroot because in the case it does trip the flash counter and I loose root, I won't be able to reset it.
So, by the time tmobile sends out the update, there hopefully is a way to root.

Next time if your already rooted you can grab the app voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, which should be able to protect and reapply root after an update.

Thanks for that tip. However, I doubt it would've worked because since I was rooted, the update failed to complete installing around 25%. So, I had to odin back to stock and then apply the OTA. Probably something to do with a locked bootloader.
Under About Phone/Status, where you 'Official'?

Yeah, the phone status was 'Official'. You'd have to be in order to get OTA updates/notifications.
Initially upon rooting, the status changed to 'Custom', But I followed the guide below to revert it to 'Official' while retaining root.

Nothing against Canada but can't believe they got an update before the U.S. model.

I'm already on Android 4.4.2, and now there is a small firmware update available (little more than 100mb). I can't seem to find any info about what this is to decide whether or not to allow it. Does anyone know what this fixes or breaks? I'm in the US in case that matters.
Thanks.

Looks like it is a performance update.
Noticed a change to the look of the Google search bar on home screen and the icons in settings look different.
I'm also curious if I have a way of installing this without losing root?
I'm on the stock rom with stock recovery using SuperSU Pro.
If there's not a way to install this without losing root, or having to fully re-root (since it's not a major update) is there an easy way to get rid of the notifications for it? Thanks!
This is all I found.
"The new update fixed the System.UI crash when users were casting content to a Chromecast and pulled down the notification bar."

Whoa, I didn't even know it had that. Although, when I tried to install the update it got to 4% and then showed "Error".
Installed the firmware update. So far the bug with flickering video I had before is gone. I will let you know if the audio issue is resolved tomorrow.
Well here it is.
It happened at 5am took about 15min to complete.
So far nothing weird, phone still smooth as butter and faster than Ricochet Rabbit.

Never saw it go down this low after running Smartmanager.

Great! Let's hope this doesn't patches up the root exploits.. anyone can confirm?
Can anybody try whether OF8 can be rooted using unikernel?

Took about the same amount to update mine... It seems faster, dont know exactly what the changes are but i thought it would of included samsung pay
I received the update as well. coming from 5.02 the update package was around 600 something mbs to download. No huge differences shooting out to me just yet but time will tell
Depending on your carrier the size of the update will vary, as you can see on screen shot my tmobile update was 102.97 mb.
I was on 5.1.1 OTA stock firmware.

This article / procedure dates back to June 28, so I would not consider this to be current or safe.
I would read carefully and compare to other maybe more current procedures before attempting.
Beware of the FRP brick. :banghead:

Any update for the Stock Camera app, guys?
Apparently it's an update to fix issues with the battery and various bugs. Just updated gonna see what it's all about today.
Make way for all the battery life and memory question. Oh and RAW as well. That seems to be a popular topic these days.
Installing now. Coming from COF6 it was 102.97mb download. Hopefully it fixes my phone. It's been laggy as can be and had tons of battery drain.

Doesn't appear to be any change, and the app still reports as Version 4.0
I'm currently rooted on 5.0.2 - what would be the best method to update to this version while keeping root (if possible). Thanks in advance!
Just got my update also. I will update on how it runs by the end of day.

If you also care about keeping Knox in tact with root on this OF8 5.1.1, you're simply out of luck. If you don't care, flash the OF6 Odin image and then check for system updates (or just wait for this OF8 image to be posted). Then install TWRP and/or the latest Unikernel.

Unikernel roots this ROM, no problem there. You are right that people coming from OCG need to be very careful they enable OEM unlock in developer options before they root, though.

Some folks that "odined" OCG didn't have the option in developer options to turn on OEM unlock.
So for them its extremely risky.

The international variants received the OGx update today as well. One site said it was the first post 5.1.1 update but I recall them getting the update that tmobile pushed out today (OF8) about a month ago. Are we now one update behind?
Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk
My deep sleep time has never been close to what it's been today with the update. It may actually work.
I just noticed that I got a security update notice today. I believe it is the monthly one for May security patches.
I recently received a Note 4 from a swappa purchase. I have not rooted and BL unlocked it yet.
If I apply the security update, will it patch the method we are using? I'm not knowledgeable on how to decompile the update file and look at what is in there.
If anyone has already accepted this update and still been able to BL unlock, please let us know.
Thanks

I hear ya. I'm the same way. Well I know for sure that it's fine with the one you have currently installed, so I'd probably just not apply the recent update to be safe and go ahead and convert it to DevEd if that's what you're planning on doing.
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA-Developers mobile app
I wouldn't take any OTA updates, no matter how much it nags. Get yourself on a supported ROM and check with its developer to see if OTAs are shut off or if there's a way to kill the nags.
Agreed, don't take any ota's...just unlock your bl and get permanent root..the note 5 stock ports are also really nice once you're unlocked.
Ok. I got my phone rooted, bl unlocked, and will install the Paul Pizz ROM later today.
It's great to have a phone with the features I need and the freedom to get updates when Samsung abandons this phone in the near future.

PaulPizz ROM has made me a very happy camper. Join the squad, breh.
I have a Sprint S6 with rooted stock G920PVPS3CPD2. I have been getting a notification for a software update, and I was wondering if it's safe to take it or if I should just ignore it.
its safe.
however, are you rooted? how can you upgrade being rooted?
Yes, I'm rooted with a custom recovery. That's what I was wondering, if the update would mess things up or brick the phone.
If it fails to download, does that mean the update won't be installed? I'd like to update to the latest version but don't want to mess anything up.
