My phone software upgrade notification is blinking with a massive 100 mb telus software update. Does anybody have a changelog? or improvements? I haven't been able to install the update in my phone because is rooted.
Thanks.
Unless you have a dl link to the ota... Should be in general

Download the update, just don't install. As soon as it is downloaded, plug the phone into the computer and go into downloads and you will find the ota file. Copy it onto the computer then delete it off your phone. Then upload it somewhere to get it to us. I disabled the ota checkin on mine, bit I want to see what is in this updates as I am working on roms

Something does not seem right. If he is rooted then he should not be getting notifications about OTA downloads, and should almost certainly not be able to download it until he RUUs back to a bone stock version. At least this is how AT&T treats its customers.
if this OTA is real I am hoping that it includes a bug fix for those of us affected by the Nav bug. I have downgraded back to ICS and given up on JB until my contract runs out or a fix is out, whichever comes first.
Thanks for the help. I will do that in the morning. Which website should I put the file link? I'm a first timer but I would like to help.
Thanks

I am on Viper 3.2.7 and I see the software update as well. I believe Viper uses the Telus base. I am of course rooted and S-Off.

841 is Telstra not Telus.
Telstra have not announced that they are currently releasing this update.
You should be able to find the file in your downloads folder on the phone. All we need is the exact name of the file. We dont actually need you to upload the file anywhere so long as you can give us the exact name.
eg:
OTA_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Telstra_WWE_3.17.841.9_0.23a.32.09.29_10.128.32.34a_release_2997538hizl4svcm80o4g1.zip
The end bit will be different and needs to be exact.
PS. 100mb is not massive. A full ROM is about 700mb. Also what made you think this was a Telus update? Do you have a Telus phone, your signature gives the impression you have an AT&T phone.
What ROM are you running, stock, Viper?
100 megs is pretty big for a ota update imho ... i read the htc one x+ got a fairly large update as well
Sorry, it's Telstra. Urdroid 1.8. I can't find the file in the download folder. I can't stop the installation process either. The phone will do it weather is connected to the computer or not

Yup, the 2 One X+ updates (AT&T and Telus) were between 50 and 60 MBs and most files are patched so the changes in the updates are mostly deltas so 100 MBs is quite the substantial update, although the build version didn't increase by much.
The updates to JB were full roms because the deltas would have been almost the same size.

Urdroid 1.8 Rom has released the update to merge with the ROM. Working good so far. I don't know the change log yet.
http://crowdsupport.telstra.com.au/t...p/148668#M3069
"OTA_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Telstra_WWE_3.17.841.9-3.17.841.2_release_313599g3ollis4ml1cuukv.zip
For those that are interested this update updates firmware for radio, dsp and the secure bootloader.
It also has a bunch of patch files for the system. I havent looked at the patch files as they are extremely tedious and boring to check. It updates numerous libs and apps likely to current versions. Any better description would need to come from HTC and/or Telstra."
Thanks.
Have decided to pick up an M8 and have been reviewing the process for unlocking the potential of the phone.. had a couple general questions about
If the phone comes with 4.4.4, is it still unlockable/rootable using the sunshine option? or am I out of luck?
Would there be a better chance to have an older version firmware if I pickup in store versus ordering it online from VZW?
I’ve been reading about how VZW likes to ‘lock down’ their devices using successive OTA updates.. If it comes with a newer stock firmware and I am unable to unlock/root, is it likely or possible in the future for it to become an option?
I appreciate your time and effort.
Cheers
Well-Some have had luck with unlocking with Sunshine http://theroot.ninja/index.html on 4.4.4 I was not able too- they are working on 3.0 version and they said this will unlock the bootloader and give you s-off. There is no ETA. Though, I read a post that said they were shooting for January 2015, but there were no promises.
The good news is that weaksauce 2 will give you temporary root. But you can not make any permanent changes/ using xPosed framework is a bad idea. However, I would try the current version of sunshine and give it a shot!
I was able to download a wifi tether app and got that to work. So, I am waiting for Sunshine 3.0 to drop!

I see. Well I certainly appreciate your input.
I know the newer versions of all the current flagship phones will be announced/released in the next couple of months and wanted to get a feel for people's thoughts on how this would affect current phones and the methods used to root/unlock them.
I guess the fact that a newer version of sunshine is in the works is good news.. I can play around with stock (assuming my phone comes with 4.4.4) until 3.0 sunshine hits.
So just an FYI..
Picked up a new HTC One M8 from verizon retailer this morning.. came with 4.4.3 (2.21.605.2)
Didnt activate in store.. got home and after turning on and activating I plugged in to charge.. Came back not 5 minutes later and it was downloading a firmware update from verizon. No notification or authorization.

You should have the option of not installing it. So you can do the Sunshine thing then update if you wish.

update for GSM
hey!Im currently using this phone on a gsm carrier. .anyway i can update the phone directly by putting it in CDMA mode or something?Or do i need to wait for a RUU to flash?Thanks!
Has anyone been able to get the ota update from verizon ?
I went back to completely stock 4.4.4 rom with no system roms removed, stock 4.4.4 recovery and I flashed back to 4.4.4 firmware and the verizon ota updates keeps coming up that I have the latest software.
I know its out because verizon itself even shows it on the net going over the update in detail. They even show you can also get the update through the htc sync software by plugging your m8 in to yuour computer usb port and downloading the update. Which the htc sync software keeps showing no update either.
It would show a repair software option though which I tried that knowing I would still have s-off even if they did relock my bootloader because I could change my cid and use htc dev to unlock that if I needed to.
Anyone have any luck going back to stock and taking the LP ota from verizon ?

The Lollipop update to the AT&T version of the M8 has VoLTE, indicating it's probably a carrier thing more than an HTC thing.
FoxFi
Does anyone know if FoxFi will still work after the Lollipop Update?
Has anyone actually received it? Droid-Life said it started rolling out last night.

Probably. HTC's update page still says that it's in the "3 - Certification stage of the Android Lollipop Release."
Although Mo Versi did say to expect it the first week of March. So must be close.
I just ordered an m8 from Verizon and I really hope it didn't come with lollipop.

Mo Versi replied this morning: "It's approved, you should receive the OTA soon. Thanks!"
Pretty sure one site saw that the lollipop documentation was up and just assumed the ota was released and then all the other sites just copy and pasted it and now its a runaway train. And it being approved is not the same as the update being pushed out. Pretty sure we got played as far as getting it today.

Verizon is rolling out Stagefright OTA patch for Galaxy S5. I installed and tested the patch. My phone is stock/un-rooted, and appears to be working fine after the patch.

I think you missed posting in a couple hundred other threads...
Or you can just use viper4android, kill stagefright, and tell Verizon, "Thanks, but no thanks--I'm in this for _me_ now."
I am not entirely sure what that means, but man, the day when this contract ends cannot come soon enough.

Pretty sure it's still 5.0. I don't think the S5 will be getting any more updates, it's at the end of its software cycle since 5.0, this update was only released for the stagefright fix.

No. Verizon's own custom OE1 is the reason that it's not rootable. Once you have the OE1 Kernel or higher, you cannot root unless they find another exploit. I doubt they will considering it's an older phone that's already being phased out in terms of support.

Take it back. You have a "new" phone that basically has no support for it anymore. If you have something to use currently other than the S5, I'd consider waiting till the new Google Nexus 5 or 6 2015 edition coming out this year. That should have root and an unlocked bootloader (Google wouldn't stand for Verizon locking down their phone).

You would have to find a phone you like, go to that forum, and check. I believe any phone with an unlocked bootloader can always be rooted? And I'm pretty sure the Google nexus 5/6 (the old ones) will always be rootable.
I'm jumping ship from Samsung (I wanted to move to the Note at one point, but Samsung screwed up big time with their phones trying to make it like an iPhone, and with Samsung/Verizon in bed with locking up root/bootloader).

There's a search bar at the top of XDA where you can enter a device. It also allows you to specify which carrier as well. This is from the M9 forum. Says you need a JAVA card which is expensive, but it unlocks the phone/allows root. You can also donate (usually $20-60) users to do it for you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...t-s-off-how-root-s-off-verizon-m9-20-t3123178
I have no idea about the M8, seems to be the same, have to have S-OFF or whatever the heck that means. Do research yourself if you want the phone.
I don't think I saw anyone ask this yet...
If I'm currently rooted with OE1, can i take this update and stay rooted? or will i loose root and not be able to get root again?

Follow the instructions in muniz_ri's thread. He hasn't released the deodexed version though. You should never take ota when rooted, and you should actually have it disabled as soon as you root. One user reported that they ota updated without losing root, but I'd never recommend it.
There is no benefit in disabling it. You have to authorize any update, so it cannot overwrite it on its own. The only reason to disable it is the popup after an update comes out which can be stopped by deleting the update.zip then having the install fail.
Two or three updates ago, I lost the ability to rotate my screen unless an app forces it to rotate, now with this update my phone no longer reads sd cards, and in fact boot loops if there is one inserted. I've done a lot of searching, both when the initial problem manifested, and now with the new problem, but haven't seen anyone with a fix. Any suggestions?
Verizon sm-g900v, latest update g900vvru2bog5,
Verizon has started rolling out the 5.1.1 update !!! Te build no is G920VVRU3BOG5.
If you get OTA, do share screenshot.. what's the size?
Btw, if you love root access, don't update.
Source here
No OTA yet.
Sounds good, just came across the news elsewhere, but (obviously?) waiting until someone can root it.
I wonder if a rom similar to the OF1 rom in the Verizon Edge development thread will be possible? Also, I saw in the general S6 thread that they were able to finally get Xposed to boot...still very very very experimental but it's booting...I won't even think about taking the OTA if Xposed is close. I am definitely glad they finally pushed the update, though!
Keep Root or Update?
Right now I'm on Cleanrom Lite 1.1 & I love it, especially the battery life.
But, I don't like being vulnerable to Stagefright.
Do you think I should keep root & wait for someone to root 5.1.1 or lose root & take the update?
Thanks!

I would wait personally I'm pretty sure someone will be looking into keeping root and being able to get 5.1.1

Its simple...if you like root...wait...
On a side note, im amazed 5.1.1 is out. I might take the update a week before september to try it out before I sell this for a new Moto Style.
The 5.1.1 fixes launcher wallpaper issues and gets rid of the parallax effect (wallpapers FINALLY work on launchers)
aaaaand as a bonus it patches stagefright.
so I'm definitely sticking with 5.1.1.
PS what are some ways to root without tripping KNOX or whatever the binary counter is?

Congrats guys, AT&T is now officially in last place for 5.1.1
Just forced a check, and still getting the message that I have the latest version even though it is not 5.1.1 - any suggestions on how to get it to "see the light"?
anyone actually receive the OTA yet? I saw news of this yesterday evening. I have been checking for the update ever since then, but no dice. I haven't seen anyone online actually receive it. How long does it usually take from announcment to download in Verizon land? I used to be on AT&T prior to this device.
Not even Smart Switch is picking up the update yet, but I haven't tried Kies yet.

False sense of security since that is only one of the demonstrated ways exploiting Stagefright. There are many others.
Even the Google patch itself the other day to Nexus devices leaves open other issues that they now have to patch.
Is there any downsides to upgrading to 5.1.1 if you're on OF1 since there's no root for it anyways?
Anyone notice any performance differences?
