G965U1 update. Sprint trying to update my bootloader - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

Not sure if I should update because I'm still hoping for root some day. Should I give up and just download it?
G965U1OYM3ARH7 is the new update. I originally had G965U but was flashed to G965U1 when I learned it gets rid of carrier bloatware, I'm glad I did. I'm on bootloader 2 right now I'm guessing I probably should not update

?
Hey thanks for posting .. I have the same question but I have already updated so hope I'm not screwed for right now lol. I want to download and use that new experimental version of Android p for our device but am pretty sure I need to flash back the the U version (not u1) first. Hopefully I can do that still after the update. Please let me know if you find anything out or have any info on the this for me. Thank you so much I really appreciate it ?

I am in your exact position, Lol. But yes you need to flash back to U from U1 . I'm loving this Android P though. Yes I took the plung and upgraded my bootloader, I don't think root is coming anytime soon if ever. My front camera is working just fine with Android 10 and the dark mode that can't be turned off at the moment, I wouldn't turn it of anyways, Lol.

Help!
I am getting a security message popup on the p firmware. Any idea what size did wrong or how to fix this? Thank you !!

Yakju update 4.2 is out!

Hey guys,
A couple of hours ago I received the 4.2 update.
I have the Canadian version. I am running stock Android 4.1.2, flashed to Yakju. I am also rooted with CWM.
The update downloaded fine, however it gave me the infamous "error status 7" when it installing/flashing. When I rebooted and tried to check for update again it didn't give me the update notification .. So I am still on 4.1.2
I just thought I would share the news with ya all that it's out. If you guys know how I can get that notification again, or know where the update downloads on my device let me know and I will share the OTA here.
Cheers,

You need to do it BEFORE you apply the update if you get the notification again.
yeah I've gotten that error a couple times
official updates don't work unless your on a completely stock setup, from what i understand.
I downloaded the takju 4.2 factory image from the official page and flash it.
love the new camera
Im Just about to takju my nexus,
lets see some yakju tgz's :silly:
yeah dude, nice one, thanks for not using logcat before you clicked update to get the url... karma got you for not sharing link, not you're stuck on 4.1.2 again like us!

we can help you but WE NEED THE OTA OURSELVES!!!!
All you have to do is, before you even CLICK THE UPGRADE BUTTON, BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD IT, LOOK IN THE LOG AND GIVE US THE OTA LINK. We still haven't got yakju, we're all waiting desperately, the least you could do is to share the link to the OTA file with everyone here refreshing posts!
PLEASE. IF YOU GET AN UPDATE NOTIFICATION, DON'T TOUCH THE BUTTON AND DO THIS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21025378&postcount=27
once we get the link for it we can help you!!!
can you grab the update link
here is how to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21025378&postcount=27
Lol I swear I didn't know how to ... And yes I have been trying to update it for the past while now but no luck.
I finally flashed one of the stock roms (bigxie) from the developers section and it seems fine so far
Sorry guys, will keep that in mind next time!

..if you want stock why not just flash the factory 4.1.2 image? It'll be faster to get 4.2 anyway than AOSP roms...
even better, flash the takju 4.2 fatory imageonto your yakju phone. Have heard it works fine but remember to backup your data
great, waiting for stock rom.
Do you know this?

That's only for factory images and are usually released after OTA availability i.e. it's slower
I am trying since morning. No success. I do not see many people getting it. Looks like we have to wait for a day or two.
BTW i sideloaded 4.2 on my N7 so the eagerness is little less now

Maybe I am not following you completely...but why would you try to take an OTA when you are unlocked and rooted?
Second, I don't believe there are any OTA updates for the Vzw One as of yet.
It looks like you attempted to install an update for the European/International HTC One.
Why you are trying to do so, I'm not sure.
But you don't wanna install that, even if you could...

Well, I assumed you had the Verizon HTC One, since you posted in the Vzw One forums.
If you have the International One, you may wanna post in the relevant forums.
Folks will be much more capable of helping you with roms/software intended for your model over there.
The OTA will not install while you are unlocked and running a Custom Recovery.
Try finding a rooted version of the latest OTA version for your device in your device's Development forums.
That would be the best, most appropriate way to update the stock software while staying rooted and unlocked.
Good luck! :good:

Thanks! I haven't yet.
I have gone back and forth about it quite a bit. (still thinking about it every day, lol)
Can't really give up or don't want to give up my Unlimited though.
Since someone was very kind and gave me a DNA a little while back, I may stick with it for now.
Still a vast improvement over the 'ol Thunderbolt, though I loved it too for quite some time.
There has been some talk of some very kind folks pitching in to help me get a One though.
So that way, I can keep my Unlimited and hopefully work on both the One and the DNA in the not too distant future.
I would wait for a ROM, butif you really want to take OTA, u need stock recovery

This. AND NEVER TAKE AN UPDATE WHEN ROOTED AND HAVE CUSTOM RECOVERY. Lol every single time you boot into recovery it should flash this message as a reminder. Why would anyone take an OTA in all reality?

Got this update ove the air. Unfornately it broke my phone. Now it is stuck when booting. Recovering. I leaned a lesson not to trust any update and I should have done a backup.

Were you rooted with a custom recovery? You should know that you need to be 100% stock to accept updates and as this clearly is made to block root you cannot even be "just rooted."
That's exactly right. My phone was "just rooted". Lesson learned. The bright part is I got another chance to refresh my experience to use odin to unblock it.

Glad you got it working. Always wise to wait and see what others say about the OTA's first. It is safe to assume that security will only get tighter going forward. Wait for developers to pull bootloader and baseband out as a flashable, then also update the ROMs to be able to get on the latest. Most of the time someone will post a pure stock rooted ROM.
How do you use odin to unblock this OTA? What do you load?

I saw this this morning on my phone. When I went to update it asked if I wanted to install this untrusted file. I declined. So there's nothing special about this but a number change?
Edit: Now that I read the details I'm glad I didn't update and lose root.

Yep. Best method would be to flash a stock ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2780984 Direction and downloads are both in that thread. Enjoy and good luck!
The stock keyboard is killing me when choosing words from the suggested list with this update. It always double spaces when selecting a word! That and with swipe not being totally accurate it's a headache. Guess I'll download kii and make it my default.. It's also crazy how this phone never gets updated with new kernels. My mom's S3 went up to 3.4.0 after kitkat and this phone did not. Why?

It's easy to root NK2 or recover from from the issue you're having. See the topic I just posted HOW TO ROOT NK2 / Fix boot loop after NE2 to NK2 update

Need help finding the latest rom

I may have bricked the chooch out of my s7 active was wondering if someone can give me the latest version or a backup of the latest version haha (tried to install oreo) NRD90M.G891AUCS2BRC1 is the build number
For bootloader 2, I think the latest full ROM available is BQD4:
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/BGy7/gKs4xzhRE/firmwares/Nougat/G891AUCS2BQD4_7.0_all.7z
Warning, this only applies if you are still on bootloader 2 and haven't gone up to the latest version 3.
YO thanks for the quick reply the room my phone wants
G891AUCS2BRC1 that'd be the latest official update
I guess you need to install BQD4 above, and then work your way up with the OTA files on that cloud page to reach BRC1.
Only issue is the bootloader Is locked so I can't downgrade it to brc1 lol the bra update just came out a couple days ago ,thanks man for helping me out by the way very cool of you

No problem man, I hope it works out for you.
The thing with the bootloader is that it has been on version 2 for quite a while, but in the most recent updates it became upgraded to version 3. You can see it in the file names. For example G891AUCS2BRC1 is still on version 2 while the most recent full Nougat ROM G891AUCS3BRD1 upgrades bootloader to version 3 with no turning back after that, as far as I know.

Battery Issues with Andrid 10

Hello community!
Around three weeks ago I finally installed the Android 10 update on my A70. Sadly, the battery got really worse right away. I did give it some time to get better, and it seem to work at first, but with the latest update everything just went downhill. Like, the options say that it will last over a day or something, but even with normal to no usage I can see it droping down rather fast. Honestly do not want to have any more of this.
So, can someone help me with going back to Android 9? Seemed to work for most people and it also was fine for me when I still had it. What info do I need and how do I do it?
Using Odin is not really the issue, but I am kinda lost with finding the right android 9 version for my A70.
Thank you in advance for any help!

Well you need to check the bootloader version in the Firmware Code P/E A705MNXXS5BTJ2
The Number its the bootloader version and the Red Letter next to it is the version of Android
A = 9.0
B = 10.0
It says:
A705FNXXU5BTJ4

You should look at the 'U5' part its the bootloader version which u can upgrade not downgrade. Also since u need to downgrade to android 9 u should look for the 'B' to be 'A' which stands for major update.
So u need A705FNXXU5A__ to downgrade to android 9
Also make sure to download the correct variant of your phone (csc)
And while flashing use home_csc not csc because csc formats data, or backup and do a clean flash (recommend).
