Official OTA COF8 update.

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.
Pp.

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?

I'm not sure what you mean. To get the OTA you can't be rooted in the first place. It's only a security fix, so if you have a 100% stock phone, you can root like the last version since it doesn't change anything in regards to root.

I use Kies or Odin for updates not OTA.
My phone is rooted with Knox 0 x 0 and is working fine.
I would not touch to anything if I will have to root again after this update.
Sometimes small updates do not change the root status.
Just wanted to know if this one will take the root away.

Got you. I've never tried updating while rooted, so I don't know what will happen. Sorry.

I'm glad they threw us a bone, but it took them 5 months to fix stagefright in an update that basically only fixed that? Surely they could have done it sooner, or did a proper 5.1 update in that timeframe...

From what I read they are working on 5.1.1 for the Note 3 (I know 6.0 is out). It takes a long time (yes months) to make sure everything is compatible with TouchWiz. Personally I don't need it as 5.0 works flawlessly for me. I'm not one to need the latest OS. If my phone does what I need/want I'm happy. The only thing I worry about is security, and now that they fixed it, I'm really happy.

Where did you read that? There used to be a 5.1.1 update listed on the updates page but it was pulled months ago. T-Mobile would not even confirm whether or not anything at all is/was being worked on, or if the phone was abandoned. I highly doubt we ever get anything past 5.0 at this point.
I do agree on your other point, the Note 3 still holds up extremely well against current gen phones. I bought and returned a 6P because it just wasn't a $500 upgrade and the battery life was worse than my 2 year old N3 (original battery).

My bad. It was the Note 3 Neo, not ours. Yes I agree this phone is still awesome. I have an Anker 6400 battery, and it lasts two days easy. With all the features the Note 5 removed I'll be sticking with the Note 3 for a while, or at least until it breaks, or the next Note adds back the SD, removable battery, and IR. Those are the three things I love the most. Very power user friendly those are.

Hey, just got this phone and T-Mobile will not allow for an OTA update. When I try Kies it doesn't like the S/N (I used IMEI). Is Odin the only way? If so, is there a completely (I don't even require root) STOCK version of most recent rom or just the one prior to this? I'm currently only 4.4

Just download the current ROM (FOL1) from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N900T/, and use ODIN to install. When you click the Kies download button you get instructions, and a link to ODIN http://dl.sammobile.com/Odin3_v3.10.7.zip. Just follow the instructions, and you'll have it updated in no time.

TMO Update

Just got my D851 with stock 5.0.1 preinstalled.
Its telling me to update the phone.
Has anyone updated via the air method?
Not sure what it is but wanted to be sure if its MM or 5.1.1 before I moved forward

As a rule of thumb if you plan to root, you should NEVER update. Updating will usually patch any exploits the devs use to root our phones. It depends on what you want to do with your phone down the line.... Update at your own risk.

@tiguy99, also it's definitely not MM. I'm not even sure 5.1.1 was ever released either.
I know the D851 has been unlocked from the get-go (didn't need bumping like the others in the past) but as the previous post alluded to, the OTA just might lock it down. Be sure and be careful.

Sorry, my post was not helpful. Here is something you can do: long press on the update notification and click on the "info" icon and disable the notification. This way you are less likely to accidentally update, and it won't bother you as much.

If it is a stock D851 running on Tmo, then the update is probably the recent update of 20e (released back on June 9) to 20g (released back in October). There has been a lot of that just within the last 60 days. However, it is still Android 5.0.1. Tmo has NOT upgraded our G3 to anything beyond 5.0.1 yet, but has committed to updating us to Marshmallow Android 6, probably sometime in the next 3 months.
As for the update, all 20g did was patch the Stagefright vulnerability that had been discovered back in August. That was a vulnerability in Lollipop wordwide on all carriers. Look at your phone info under settings. If you are on 20e, it will not hurt at all to upgrade. But in any case, the update you are seeing is DEFINITELY NOT 5.1.1 and it is DEFINITELY NOT Marshmallow. It is still 5.0.1. Good luck.
Please hit the THANKS button if I helped you.

I got mine week ago and updated it didn't root but used Newest Root Method in general section and finally got it.

That being said, I made the mistake of updating. Now I'm having a very hard time trying to root my D851 20g. Can I restore to Kitkat for the purpose of rooting?

Dude this is the wrong forum for a question like this. Should be in Q&A or General. You'll get better answers there.

No need. Google 'Newest root method' D851 xda download file thru your browser double click on windows batch file. Follow prompts. Hope this helps you out.

I too got my D851 last week. It had KK 4.2.2 and wanted to update. So I decided to go ahead and do the OTA. The final result was 5.0.1 D85120g. I don't think there are any higher updates yet. Rooted without issue using Newest Root Method mentioned above, again, without issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197
However, if you are still unsure, you can always downgrade to a lower version. You will have to do a search for D85110r in the KDZ file version and find the loader for that file. Took me a little time to find it but I have both the KDZ file and loader.

1/16/17 update N920AUCS4CPL1 - - looks like another security update

I just got another monthly update for my AT&T Note 5 labeled N920AUCS4CPL1 with the December 1, 2016 security patch included. I can't find anything else on this update but again, it looks like another security update - - NOT Android 7.0+

Can someone please post a link for adb push or odin files, so we can update our n920a as we are not in USA?
Thx.

Wow---this update is KILLING my battery. Google play services is running in the background like crazy. I've lost 10% in 2 HRS with little use where as before the update I would have lost 10% by 2 PM---UGH! Anyone else having this problem?

I updated to PK1 the day I got my phone (last week Monday).
The battery life for me has been superb (since I flashed through ODIN and started setting it up from scratch).
I want to get PL1 (for peace of mind), but I don't have an AT&T SIM card, so I'm waiting for a complete file that I can flash through ODIN.

I don't want anymore updates because I'm almost out of equipment contract now and I want to hack my Note 5. I wasn't aggressive about this until recently but somehow I had auto update on. So my phone started the download but I rebooted it and stuck it in the microwave.. (panic style) Then I tried to downgrade to 5.11 using the PH4 and the PH2 firmwares in succession but PH4 soft bricked me. Then I tried flashing N920AUCS4CPK1. and I got success. Wiped it all back to November 2016 security patch. (I dunno if this works after it installs, I have a sinking feeling it will not work.. There is no firmware available with Dec 2016 security patch that I'm aware so no way to recover if I'm correct in assuming the bootloader is blocking me from downgrades)
Edit: I want stress that fact that my phone never said Dec 2016 security patch, during all this it was still Nov 2016 patch

With AT&T bootloaders, I thought that was always the case.
You WILL take the update when Nougat arrives. I'm eager to know when that will be. I have no intention of rooting my device to trip Knox.

Updating now

I find another update from S4CPL1 to S4CQA1 I think this is January security update but AT&T did not released yet. If someone whan to try it is ADB sideload or from sd-card. Remember if you go for it will erase your data. So backup your phone first.

It seems I'll have to wait unit the next big update is released. I have the N920A, but AT&T is not my carrier so I can't get that OTA. I'm currently on PK1. My device is stock and unrooted since I have no intention of tripping knox at the moment.

With a locked bootloader, it will probably stay unrooted. I don't know of a root for it, would be nice if there was one. I think 5.01 bootlaoder got unlocked... But I keep looking...

Check the file to norbarb post, and send to your phone via ADB, you can search in google how can you send ota by adb, its easy. Send OTA via adb donesnt affect knox, its install manually OTA.

Verizon Note 4 refuses to root!

I have just received a Verizon Note 4 from a friend which had a stock, untampered with v6.0 on it.
I downgraded it to 5.1.1 and have been trying for over 2 days now to get it to root. I have KingOroot and Kingroot both and most times it says root was successful but the root checker says it wasn't. I have tried at least 30+ times to get this to work. I have even went forward with minimal adb without running the root check and gotten up to the point entering the $ su step and then nothing! Most times it won't even get that far.
I cannot figure out what's wrong?? I even tried one click root but it says it cannot work on my device.
I have the following
Model # SM-N910V
Android Version - 5.1.1

There's more after this but I don't know if it's needed?
Configuration Version - B14.SAM.SMN910V.0
I have been rooting phones for years and I have NEVER come across one like this.
Is there a custom or stock ROM that is already rooted I can flash maybe?
Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated
Thanks
Tom

I had same problem. Once I succeeded on BPA1 firmware but KNOX seemed to have interfered with the root, phone rebooted and root was lost. It seems only the developer version is rootable with Chainfire's auto root.

Would it help if I downgraded further to 4.x.x maybe? I was able to downgrade from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Tom

Hello all!
I FINALLY just finished rooting my Verizon Note 4 after several days of trying. The instructions are very detailed and I tried to follow them to the T, except I ran into a couple of minor differences when my phone went to TWRP and it was a little confusing.
The other problem was when I was using Kingroot or KingORoot, for some reason there was a message that was not popping up asking if I wanted to allow the rooting process to go forward or something, but I finally spotted it this last time, hit allow and it FINALLY let me get Odin to run completely and I am rooted!! I think the problem was I didn't have the SIMM card in and the stupid window telling me I didn't have the SIMM installed was blocking it or whatever. This issue should be added to the instructions.
Just wanted to let anyone who was trying to help that I got it rooted!
Now I need to figure out if I should stay with 5.1.1., or can I upgrade back to 6.0.1 or flash a custom ROM or what to do next before I switch my SIMM and start using the N4 permanently? I'm fortunate that my old Note 2 is still working barely until I decide what to do? I also need to transfer all my text messages and apps to the new N4, but not sure if I can do it with the back to back method or if I should just do it manually?
Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks again to all!
Tom

Factory reset from within device and then recovery. Then kingroot version

Thanks mojoswagger...
I got it downgraded and rooted finally. Now, would you know whether I should stay with 5.1.1 or upgrade back to 6.1, if that's even possible without losing root? There's some features on this version I don't particularly like compared to 4.2 but I can live with it. I'm hoping 6.1 win be better...
Thanks for your help!

Cant get my note4 to downgrade

Ok then follow the instructions in the video to downgrade to 5.1.1. If you are successful with that we can take the next step and root it.
Let me know what happen's!

I have just received a Verizon Note 4 from a friend which had a stock, untampered with v6.0 on it.
I downgraded it to 5.1.1 and have been trying for over 2 days now to get it to root. I have KingOroot and Kingroot both and most times it says root was successful but the root checker says it wasn't. I have tried at least 30+ times to get this to work. I have even went forward with minimal adb without running the root check and gotten up to the point entering the $ su step and then nothing! Most times it won't even get that far.
I cannot figure out what's wrong?? I even tried one click root but it says it cannot work on my device.
I have the following
Model # SM-N910V
Android Version - 5.1.1
Security patch level - 2015-12-01
Baseband Version - N910VVRU2BPA1
Kernel Version - 3.10.40

Build Number - LMY47X. N910VVRU2BPA1
SE For Android Status - Enforcing
SEPF_SM-910V_5.1.1_0043
Hardware Version - N910V.05
Security Software Version - MDF v2.0 Release 1
VPN v1.4 Release 5.2
Knox Version - KNOX 2.4.1
Standard SDK 5.4.1
Premium SDK 2.4.1
There's more after this but I don't know if it's needed?
Configuration Version - B14.SAM.SMN910V.0
I have been rooting phones for years and I have NEVER come across one like this.
Is there a custom or stock ROM that is already rooted I can flash maybe?
Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated
Thanks
Tom
