Been combing the various threads on the S6E general and the prevailing theory is "No" but thought I'd ask here. I know we're probably getting the official update in the next 60 days, I just get impatient! TIA
*Crickets* You can't even find a stock rom that works around here without jumping thru hoops.
Nothing going on here, just waiting for marshmallow.

Hey guys,
after looking around the interwebz for a few days, this looks like one of the best spots to sit on and learn from. I have had my evo from launch and it is fully updated. Recently, i have heard much talk about full rooting and froyo coming soon officially.
I am new to "hacking" phones. not sure if thats the correct word but i "hack" or have fun (not the bad way) on computers and used to on xbox360.
could someone please point me in the right direction?
The only reason i ask this is because i have seen several rooting tutorials that are not identical so i was curious if one is better than the others.
This is not a q and a forum. There is one butter this is not it. I suggest reading a lot more and then formulating a real question. There isn't a best method that is why there is more then one.

Do toastcfh root part 1 then unlock nand part 2. this is the best and official way to root in my opinion. And its really not that hard. But I think theres a few new ones floating around that are even easier! My honest opinion is to just read, and then read some more. And when your done reading, read even more! Youll be sooo surprised how much you will learn in this forum!

if you've appplied the latest OTA update (1.47.651.1), then you have to wait for dev. to come up with ways to unlock it (root). if you did not update the OTA then using toast method 1 and 2 would work fine....
If you found this site, you are already pointed in the right direction.
Don't take personally, since obvisouly I don't know you, but if you can't follow the guides here you really should not mess with your phone.
I do understand (90% sure) most of the terms and processes for rooting. I do have the latest update (1.47.651.1). So i guess ill have to wait until another root for this version.
Is there a certain time gap between update and root for current update that i should wait to look for. i know people come up with the root so its not exact time gap. im more asking does it usually take closer to a week or like a month. just so i can keep it in the back of my head
Got a message about a new firmware update, 25 Nov. Is this the same update that was pushed out at the beginning of the month?
TIA
This has been posted and answered plenty of times over the last few months. Not to be mean but there is a search button.
Anyway, the answer is yes.
I did search
Well, not to be mean, but I am quite aware that an OTA update had been discussed earlier in the month, as I said in the op. But, I hadn't seen anything lately, and that's why I asked if this was the same one. Obviously I knew there had been one earlier.
I have probably read all the posts in this forum. I know how to use the search, and I study all available resources before I ask a question. I do research for a living. So please don't be so quick to assume a poster is lazy.
I do cleanup work on other boards to try to provide correction to people who are too lazy to look for the answers, and I deal with them every day at work. So I'm more than a bit sensitive on this issue.
Hmm...
Fair enough
Hope I didn't come off sounding like an a$$. It was one of those weeks with a lot of new threads about simple things that have stickies on here.
I hear you. I was testy for about the same reason.
So, speaking of OTA updates, when Froyo finally is released for the Slide, will having a rooted phone prevent the update? Will we all need to return to unrooted stock?
Me, I'm going to wait until folks who know what they are doing have a chance to dig into the ROM and make it better.

Technically, yes, that is what you'd have to do, at least I'm fairly sure, but I'm sure someone, probably chiefzreloaded, will release the rooted version of it fairly quickly. I'll just wait for that, rather than spend time doing it myself.

Ok, so I was one of the lucky few with a gen2 device that was not getting the ICS update. I tried to scan for the update probably 50 times yesterday with no luck. After seeing that others where having the same problem I got frustrated, I flashed the update Zeronull posted in the developers forums. Worked great.
My question is now what exactly is to be gained from the whole process of rooting/unlocking/loading CM9, and some custom roms. I am not new to hacking hardware/software, but I am fairly new to android so I don't really understand what I am gaining from the gamble.
My tab is mainly a family device so there is some added risk with my 4 year old, and wife having root access to my tab. Not sure that is a great idea or not. So once I decide if I want/need CM9 how secure is it from the rest of the family bricking it after the fact?
The only thing in the developers side that really catches my eye is cossix swap mod. I am surprised no one has rolled that into a rom yet. Anyways, if that is all I am really looking to gain is the CM9 path worth it for me?
Basically after re-reading this I am just fairly clueless about CM9. Can anyone with some experience clue a brother in? What is it exactly that I am missing?
Thanks,
I hate to bump my on post, but I was hoping to get a few opinions on this before I let it die.
...And for real this time. Go tear at it like the wild beasts you are!

Yup. I'm getting the OTA now
You should upload the files, if you're able, for those who can't/won't get an OTA (ie. Me, lol). If not, it's fine. I'm sure there'll be plenty of places to get it very soon.
T-Mobile's site still says the firmware is in the testing stage.

There's already 2 Lollipop discussion threads... do we really need a third?
Please move to one of the other threads and continue the discussion there. I'll be closing this one. Thanks!
Any reports on the recent vzw ota? I have refused to take it because my phone is working well, but I also don't want to lose the ability to update later if 5.1, or M become available at some point. I'm not seeing any threads regarding it, so I was kinda looking for peoples feedback good or bad.

Look in the VZW forums that are specific to that model. Here's the thread talking about 24B:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/24b-update-t3154374
That should hopefully answer any questions you might have and if you others concerning it, that would be the best place to ask since most VZW people post in those forums. I myself peruse these forums because there still can be good diamonds found for the VS985 G3 in the "all other variants" G3 forums, but I mainly hang out in the VS985 forums for the G3 since the latest info specific to that phone will be found there first more than likely.
