System update today (March 18)

Just got a system update on my SM-G935V this morning. Build number updated to PB4. Haven't really noted any obvious changes. Is there a set of updates anywhere that anyone can link to?

just got the notification also. does it give a change log or anything??

Found this: http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-update/

Nice and vague.. Just how I like it..

looks like a new kernel it is dated last Thursday.

Any hope of this leading to a root? I or would it need a updated bootloader?

I hope this fixes the high android system usage battery drain.

You may want to give up hope for that on the Verizon variant.

How do I block this update? I am using PackageDisabler and have disabled system updater but there must be another package??

Fox-Fi
Does anyone know if this update breaks Fox-Fi wi-fi tether?

Why do you want it blocked? Just wondering why you don't want WiFi and other fixes.

Some people like myself like to wait and see what problems these updates may create. I've read and experienced things not working as good as they did before a update was pushed. Sometimes they also block ways to root a device witch many people here would love to have.

Any roots for galaxy s7 Sm-G930U?

The "special edition" of the galaxy s7 US unlocked just came out a few days ago. I'm wondering if anybody knows a way to root this variant yet. Will the G930F root work for this version?

It will probably be the same story as the current carrier locked models. I am just waiting for the unlocked firmware to come out so I can try flashing my carrier variant S7.

I was trying to help evobyte with Smart Switch but our end verdict was Smart Switch doesn't have compatibility with G930U yet. Makes sense because when I contact Samsung regarding the G930U they said that model didn't exist and not a US model. Told them how it was just release and after being put on hold they apologized. So yea...

Damn we need to find a way to get that firmware it's bloat free. I was gonna test on t-mobile s7.

Hey man, root is availible. The 930a/935a root will work. Also, once rooted, you should TOTALLY download flashfire and make a COMPLETE backup and upload it do gdrive and pm it to me or post the link if you're OK with the drive traffic.

may you report back to see if it works

When you experience performance issues and battery drain after root, use kernel auditor AND kernel toolkit.
Use toolkit to set the correct cpu frequencies for both sets of cpus, and governor, then use auditor to turn off all thermal options. I'm currently working on a root with the bugs fixed. But for now, just do that and make sure no apps are disabled and make sure "require pin on reboot" is not on

7.0 update here?

I'm not sure how people having been trying to update. I first tried just using the system update on the phone but it showed nothing was available. I installed HiSuite on my PC, connected my phone to it, followed instructions and voilà, there was the update. Possibly a timing coincidence, but I post what I did here, just in case people haven't tried.

I've been trying the Updater app every morning, and this morning it was just there ready to go!
Did it OTA over my home WiFi, no need to connect with HiSuite.
Sorry to leave you Samsung, but I'm really loving this Huawei phone.

Malaysia! Seems like everyone getting the update is from Europe. Believe this is for the European release. Kind of sad that they neglected Asia ex-China devices. Guess we have to be more patient.

The B135 (in the chinese version) it's already with the improvements for camera?

I don't know what is new. It says no changelog. It says funkyhuawei reddit page:
<<The unreleased MHA-L29C185B172 build has been added to FunkyHuawei. An accurate changelog has not yet been released, but the expected differences are better touchscreen response, and less power consumption for longer battery life, similar to the Chinese B173 build.
Even if you have another Mate 9 model, you can rebrand to MHA-L29C185 and install the firmware, with FunkyHuawei.>>
But trying one day battery time maybe is improved. Here is screenshots.

So far this is working nice firmware. Battery inside one day before was finish 30% but yesterday was with 75%.
What is everybody result?

Hi guys! How is the performance and battery life of this update B172? Thanks!

hi everyone.
two questions:
1: what is FF? is it another repository for firmwares? any links?
2: also, i don't understand the disapproval regarding fu***wei.. I tried installing TWRP on my Mate 9.. ended up almost bricking it.. (it was stuck in a bootloop and adb showed it as unauthorized.. I didn't know what todo)
I used the fu***wei method and although it was a little cumbersome.. (had to do it at home so I could modify the modem settings etc.)
it actually totally worked.. (took a while but it worked) The guy was super responsive too. (I guess I go thte time zones aligned just right to ask my questions but yeah, he'd respond within minutes of my e-mails..)
(btw, I came to this forum looking exactly for this model MHA-L29C185 I wish there were clearer instructions on how to do these things without paying etc but if there is a resource like this why knock it? i'm seriously curious)
