N5110 Stock stagefright patch info?

My wife's fully stock (4.4.2) N5110 started getting update notifications from Samsung Software Update.
Per the info, it's a 7.61 MB 'device stability and bug fixes' patch that includes security enhancements and StageFright fix.
Is there information on everything installed with this patch?
Will installing this block any future attempts at root / installing a custom ROM? (If she ever lets me; this is solely her device and doesn't care about root/ROMs )
Since this is a wifi only note8 - how vulnerable is it to stagefright if I don't patch? Everything I've read says 'stagefright is more than an MMS vulnerability' but then the details only go into the MMS vuln :|
Thanks in advance and sorry if this has been covered elsewhere - I searched and didn't find anything.

I noticed the update today and decided to install it. It did not take very long to install and the Android version number is still 4.2.2, so it doesn't seem that there is anything major. I have yet to notice any changes, but I haven't used my tablet much today I should note that I am also using the wireless version of the Note 8.0 and I have never rooted this devices.
If I learn anything else I'll post here.

It's too bad that they didn't decide to bump things up to 4.4.4 (could use those Bluetooth fixes that were introduced in 4.4.3) while they were at it.
Anyway, I just noticed that there's a new stock rom posted for the USA variant on Sammobile.com and samsung-updates.com. So this is officially "a thing." Haven't flashed it myself yet and I probably won't; I've moved on to Cyanogenmod 12.1. But it's nice to know that Samsung is still pushing out updates for this thing.

Galaxy Tab S2. Please help. Noobie here.

I'm frustrated and overwhelmed about how to go about rooting my brand new Galaxy Tab S2. I don't know which correct files to download and which method of rooting to use. This would be my first time rooting, so please bare with me. I only need to have root access so that I can use Titanium Backup, which I had just purchased. The tablet has not been used yet and has not been updated, even though it keeps reminding me to install the new version. It is wifi only, no carrier. Help would be greatly appreciated. Tablet info below.

Heh, don't worry we've all been there.
First thing though is that this is the wrong forum for your device, this is for the original Tab S and not the more recent Tab S2 which you have. Although I suspect the process will be very similar (Odin, etc) it's always best to get the info for your exact model.
So with that in mind, here's where you want to go: Tab S2 forums
And even more specifically, here's a great thread for you to read and which should answer all your questions: [GUIDE][HOW-TO] Root Tab S2 and more
Of course, please be aware of things like warranty coverage and such being affected after rooting.
Btw, if/after you do root check out "Adaway" (just google for the apk), it's probably my main reason for rooting my devices (with xposed a close second).
Best of luck!

as the man said up here but i would ad: let your tablet update to marshmallow 6 first and then read about how to install TWRP with ODIN and the new supersu for mm6 and how to root touchwiz MM6.
There are some new TWRP and supersu coming out on these days. But your tablet is too new to have a custom Rom, so let it update to MM6 first. Sorry to say but titanium is useless with MM6 since your apps AND settings are all reinstalled from the google server. It's a new feature of MM6. I know I've bought Titanium 3 weeks ago and now it's useless to me. One thing that I'm worried about is that if you root your tablet before you get MM6, and you trip knox you might not get the update from samsung. You should get MM6 soon. Don't forget to do a back up if you want to practice with your 5.0.2. Have fun.
update : some of the sources confirmed that Samsung will be introducing the update for the Tab S2 in the month of February next year 2016 source: www.pc-tablet.com/2015/10/09/7477/s...marshmallow-software-update-release-date.html

sm-t800 best rom

Hi guys I have a sm-t800 and the official rom is old and outdated , what's the best Rom to use to bring some more security and speed to the tablet ? And maybe get rid of all the bloatware from Samsung ? Any recommendations ?

It seems like you don't have a whole lot of choices. There is the stock MM 6.0.1 ROM or LineageOS. In my experience, LineageOS ROMs tended to have more visible bugs and hardware support issues, but then I haven't touched LineageOS ROMs for more than a year. You can certainly try both. The stock ROM has lots of bloatware. While you can't delete a lot of the apps, you can at very least try to disable almost all of the superfluous apps that come with the Samsung ROM. This improves the performance (not just CPU, but also battery) and frees up the valuable storage space.

Thanks Akopps I have installed LineageOS and it's nicer without all the Google spy software and Samsung bloatware, installed Aptoide on it for apps and works ok so far. The only thing that seems to be an issue so far is the fingerprint reader

FP Reader never worked for me satisfactory, regardless what ROM. I would also recommend:
[ROM] [AOSP] [7.1.1] [OFFICIAL] LiquidDeathOS - SM-T800 with deathly adiutor + tools on board, in case you are into tweaking. it is the best combination of function+lightweight in my eyes.

LineageOS has been working well for me on my ST-800

I really like this OS and until last week, I've had no issues. I started getting a flashing red board around my screen and response of my bluetooth keyboard has been slow. I ran the latest update but it is still happening. I'm going to check in with LineageOS to see if there is a fix.

I success to root, install lineage14 and the newest gapps on my 2 old "samsung TAB S" several times.
I can't test the auto-update now due to my lineage is brand new (Feb 2020). If there is any news I will update the document.
Here is my doc/screendump if any interest.

How to update some Samsung Apps?

Cheerio!
I'm new with android (10y with iOS) so maybe it's basic question, but I didin't find solution in google.
How can I update Samsung apps from site like apkmirror? I got Galaxy S9 and every time when I try to install apk dowloaded to device I see error ”application not installed”. Device’s DPI, architecture, screen size are compatible. For example today update „Always on screen” from Samsung version 4.1.66, mine is 4.1.37. Everything else not from Samsung update correctly. Cheers!

Use Play Store or Galaxy Apps to update your installed applications

You cannot update Samsung system apps like that, used to be a workaround with Nougat but was patched in Oreo and above (Non Samsung apps should still work)

One UI 5 S7 Plus

I read that One UI 5.0 is released for S7 Plus in Europe. Lets discuss links and other options on how to flash it.

I am updating right now from Spain

Weirdly, Frija still shows Android 12 as the latest version. Anybody know which CSC I can use to download the latest full version for odin?

EUX shows Android 13

EUX,XEF, DBT, PHE,AUT... for T976B

Thank you for this. Flashed it after reading this. Working flawlessly.

For those who have already installed it, can you tell me if all the Good Lock modules are still working? In particular, I'm using the larger 10 x 7 Home Screen grid that's only available in HomeUp. I'd appreciate if someone can check if this still works under OneUI 5.0 on the S7+ ?

All Good Lock modules are updated to One ui 5,You just have to install the update after updating to One UI5, worth the redundancy.

I can concur, updated to One UI 5.0 (Android 13) and all seems uber stable and no loss of functionality.

Just received the update on my S7+ in the US. Installing now.
Still no update for my unlocked Fold4 though...

Same, nothing for my ZF4 yet. Not really convinced there's much benefit to OneUI 5.0 on the Tab S7+ so not sure it's such a big deal the ZF4 is laggging a bit.

I installed One UI 5.0 on my regular Tab S7 (11 inch, EUX) and have to admit that I am very dissapointed. Samsung promised way more fluent animations, no annoying start-up lags anymore and an overall improvement in System stability. Non of that happens to be the case. My Tablet feels more laggy, compared to One UI 2.5/3.1.1. Even the Android Easter egg only gets shown on one side instead of full screen, which seems to be bug (No the pictures are not edited)
In my opinion, they rushed this update too fast, so that they can prove the point of releasing updates quicker than ever before now.
I will try out two things this week:
1) Reset the Tablet and see how it performs with 5.0 being freshly, clean installed
2) Downgrade to One UI 3.1, which, for me, was the last update that really changed something noticabely on my Tablet.
I miss those older days (2016-2020 especially), when new Android versions really changed things and introduced cool new stuff. Nowadays, I feel like we're stuck with the same Design and the same features with little to no changes after all.

Android 12 was a big one. But yeah, I also noticed the Easter egg. It doesn’t even work.

Hi all,
I found myself opening a lot of tabs on XDA to figure out on how to upgrade my Tab S7+ Wifi - SM-T970 to newer Firmware versions while retaining Root (magisk). This is why I made myself a short guide. Then I decided to share it with you and the short guide went from short to medium sized.
I hope it helps. (The resources/drivers/programs I used can be found at the bottom of this comment. (no links, but Google will help you out)
Firmware Upgrade Guide Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ | SM-T970 | CSC:EUX | while keeping/retaining Magisk Root.
1.Download Latest firmware on PC via Frija (CSC:EUX & Model:SM-T970 for me)
2.Extract ZIP Open extracted directory and delete ZIP.(I like to keep a clean overview, so optional)
3.In the directory you find BL, AP, CP, CSC & HOME_CSC files. If you use the Wifi only version of the Tablet, you can remove the CP file.
This leaves the BL file (should be left untouched), AP file & CSC & HOME_CSC files.
Choose one of the two CSC files to keep.
4.a. Want to Keep your data? Use Home_CSC....tar.md5 file using ODIN, other file can be removed.
4.b. Factory reset? Use other CSC file instead.
5.Move (not copy, but move) AP file (AP......tar.md5) to Tablet and patch whole file in Magisk (I am using the latest Canary Magisk version)
When this is done, move the patched AP file called magisk_patchedsomethingsomething back to the first extracted directory (step 2) AP-file name does not matter.
Connect tablet to PC with USB.
Using Terminal in ADB directory, use " adb devices" to check if PC can find tablet when tablet operates normally. Use command " adb reboot download" to boot the tablet directly into download mode.
Open ODIN (no settings need to be adjusted in ODIN other than selecting the correct files)
In ODIN,
Select AP ---select ---> magisk_patched.#######.tar
Select BL ---> BL_####.tar.md5
Select CSC ---> HOME_CSC_####.tar.md5
OR use CSC_####.tar.md5 if factory reset is required
Click Start. Wait. And enjoy!
