Did anyone else get a pop-up for a new OTA update today? I'm running NI2 and the new one looks to be NK2. Google doesn't return much in the way of results for something coming today/recently. There's not much on Verizon's site either: http://www.verizonwireless.com/dam/support/pdf/system_update/benefits-galaxy-s5-12-16-14.pdf All it lists is a VPN fix, SD card fix, and replacing ISIS with Softcard. It does not appear to be Lollipop
Hopefully flashing the kernel to NCG rooting and then returning to the current kernel still will work. I can download the files if someone can explain how to extract the kernel.
I too just received this update. Going to wait don't want to lose root
I got the update and applied it. Lost root (knew I would), but everything else seems fine.
I don't know how to extract the kernel though. Hopefully others take notice and help you or just provide the process and files for the masses.

Also just got the update on my Verizon GS5.
Appears to be a small update as the download and install did not take as long as other major updates.
Verizon still at 4.4.4
Unable to find any reference to the change log via a google search.
Anyone have a change log?

Still amazes me after all these years how quick people are to install updates. I don't touch them with a ten foot pole till i find out 100% what's in them lol.

use terminal emulator or adb (just need root) - for system and kernel dump
Code:
su
dd if=dev/block/mmcblk0p15 of=/mnt/sdcard/boot.img
dd if=dev/block/mmcblk0p23 of=/mnt/sdcard/system.img
Seems to be a small and non-critical update. I'll probably skip on this and wait for lollipop.

I've had a few skips here and there, but occurances vary greatly depending on the app, BT device, and distance. 90%, though, is problem free.
I just updated lost root of course, used the towleroot/odin flash method and put the NI2 kernal back on, phone says I am still up to date with NK2, and finds no new updates. Not sure if this is actually the case, I am still new to all of this. But I do have root access back now so..
you would have to odin back to ncg kernal, root then odin nk2 kernel back once and if its available
---------- Post added at 08:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------
if u odin ni2 and still shows nk2 then it probably didnt work.. either way, you need to wait until someone puts out the kernal for nk2 or else u might as well stay on nk2 or just go back to ncg root install ss then flash rom of choice and then kernal of choice lol. im content where im at especially when theres no big changes at all
been waiting for this just for the SD card fix ever since the verizon tech's told me it was coming, hopefully they really did fix it.
Now the anxious waiting for it to get posted since I can't do OTA from Canada.
I will wait for it to be rootable, as I'm not willing to lose that.
That said, I've been waiting to be able to use OpenVPN over 4G/3G since I got the phone, so if this fixes the issue, it's definitely worth the update for me. I still can't believe it's taken them this long to fix the freaking issue...

I have not lost any BT connection, and I am running NI2 4.4.4 and a Gear 2 Neo.
I too will also likely skip this until Lollipop, and then I will only upgrade to Lollipop if/when it is launched/rootable.

It won't be rootable, as the past 2 updates haven't been rootable. As long as you can downgrade to NCG, that's your root method right there. You won't be able to root the new updates as they stand.
Chainfire's Super Su survival mode works great on new update.

Hey guys, I have a question about this update,
My friend has the S3 for whom I safe- rooted, debloated and whatnot. Now that this update came, my friend tried to update but to no avail. She is adamant about the fact that Verizon definitely has something important hidden in the update, despite me trying to tell her otherwise, and figured that she couldn't install the update because she was rooted.
Naturally, I fully unroot her entire phone, uninstall root-only apps, and try the update, but it doesn't work. When the phone reboots for installation, the installation bar loads for a bit,hangs, then just says "error" and does not update.
Anyone know what the problem could be? Normally I wouldn't care so much, but if Android 4.4 is actually coming to the S3 then I don't want her not to have it, and I can already tell it's not going to work if this update doesn't either.
Thank you so much in advance.

Some of the bloatware you removed likely had to be present on the phone in order for the update to take place. Unless you are sure someone is never going to go back to stock without flashing an ODIN tar image and wiping their phone clean, best to just freeze bloatware with Titanium Backup. That way you can just unfreeze it in order to go back to full stock. Unless you have a list of the bloatware you removed and can somehow sideload them back in, you will unfortunately have to flash her phone to full stock VRUCML1 and wipe it clean.

Ah, I see, next time I'm around her I'll re-root it and backup all her stuff with titanium backup, flash the VRUCML1 and factory reset, then restore everything and see if it works.
Strangely enough, when the same update for my Verizon Note 2 came out, I was able to update while rooted even though I unsinatalled theexact same system apps I did on her phone. How strange.
Nonetheless, thank you so much.
I have a question for you all. I took the OTA update for 4.3 when it came out but after that I rooted my gs3 Verizon phone again successfully. Now I also took this last update and now lost root on my phone. I tried to reroot the phone but it fails now. There error I get on safestrap is something about the addresses not being able to be found. Can anyone help me reroot my phone so my apps like titanium will work again?
Thanks

The following files will enable tethering on your I337. Make certain that you use the version applicable to your current build and only use on stock ROM. Use on custom ROM's may cause issues with the ROM. Proceed at your own risk!
Note: This will modify your system causing future ota updates to fail!
Here they are:
I337UCUFNI1_Safestrap_TetherAddOn.zip
(To undo the mod flash the I337_NI1_TetherAddOn_Revert-to-Stock.zip using the same instructions below).
I337UCUFNC1_Safestrap_TetherAddOn.zip
I337UCUFNB1_Safestrap_TetherAddOn.zip
Instructions:
1. Root your device(See Post #2 for rooting options).
2. Install the latest Safestrap.apk.
3. Place the applicable Safestrap_TetherAddOn.zip on ext sdcard.
4. Reboot into Safestrap Recovery and flash the Safestrap_TetherAddOn.zip in Stock Slot (Do Not Wipe Prior to Flashing!)
5. Reboot. Done!

NI1 Users: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/how-to-root-i337ucufni1-t2881298
NC1 Users: Use Towelroot.apk
NB1 Users: Flash the NC1_Stock_Kernel in PDA Slot in Odin(AP in Odin v3.09+), then use Towelroot.apk to root your device. (Optional: flash the NB1_Stock_Kernel once rooted).
Alternatively, flash the I337UCUFNB1_4.4_Rootable_Stock_Odin_tar to get back to factory stock NB1 then use Towelroot.apk to root your device.

Most custom roms already offer tethering built in. Also they may already have a modified framework-res.apk(which these files replace) and may cause issues. So to answer your question I recommend only using this hack on stock.
I have an att i337 stock mf3, rooted using towel and su access. unlocked sim using tmo sim, which file should i download? also im on 4.2.2.. or if i update to atleast 4.3 with the newer modem will that fix this problem?

I'm surprised that you are one of the few that still has att i337 mf3 phone. if so, stay on it, root it and disable the update. else, you'll lost pretty much everything unless something else happen. however, the only thing i can recommend is that you follow another guide that can do it or use foxfi and the paid key.
Holy crap dude! Super cool! If only I didn't have a faulty motherboard everything would be almost perfect, only thing I I'm missing is wifi calling but whatever. I'm gonna have to live without it cause the tmobile roms just don't work for me. Thanks so much man! Hey you think tmobile detects this? I have 3gb free a month.

Correct. Installing safestrap will not wipe anything.
Awesome, installed without issues.
The connection does appear to be quite a bit slower than using the previous theringprovision.apk with 4.2.2.

Nope just flash over previous version.
Flashing it now, I'll get you an update in the morning.
Edit: Seems quite a bit faster after flashing the new file.
I wish I had done a speed test first but the results below are from my second install
36.64Mb down 12.95 up.
Once I rebooted I got the message "Safestrap disabled"
is that ok? I noticed the security policy in the 4.4.2 update with Samsung seems to like the ban hammer with alot of rooted stuff.

I don't know what kind of LTE speeds you normally get in your location but those speeds that you posted are more than decent. And I wouldn't worry about the safestrap disabled message, that's normal. I definitely made a mistake when compiling the first version of the tether add on but this latest version is definitely correct enjoy.

My VOLTE is working fine on NHA. I noticed the support in the phone when this update was released a couple weeks ago. You need to log into your verizon account and activate the VOLTE feature. It will be working almost immediately after that. I tried a few video calls between my S5 and my wife's and they seem to work OK on my weak LTE signal at my house. You need to turn off wifi before it works too.
I plan to do a manual upgrade to NI2 today. (flash backwards and OTA to NI2 then re-root)

Everything worked great. I'm rooted on NI2 with Xposed and Wanam. After updating OTA to NI2, just flash the original NCG kernel, root, then reflash the NI2 kernel.
Worked Great for me too. Confirmed rooted on NI2
Is it currently OTA only? What about those of us that aren't using Verizon, probably have to wait for a full flash?
I have the Verizon Developer Edition of this phone with it being rooted and having TWRP custom recovery. I tried a 4.4.4 (NI2) ROM on it, and my phone got stuck on the first screen during boot. I was able to restore from a backup through TWRP recovery to get back up and running, again. Hopefully, a working version of NI2 for the Developer Edition comes out soon because I want to enable VoLTE for my phone..

I have a Verizon Samsung SM-G900V which I did run Towelroot on to root on the original.
Verizon pushed out the NE9 OTA which I accepted and it broke root. I haven't yet gotten around to following the directions to take it back to root.
My problem is they are trying to push out the NI2 update over the last few weeks to me and every time I try to apply it the phone errors out when trying to apply it. Of course no additional information as to why.
I haven't seen too many people having this particular issue so figured I would ask to see if I should go through and root again then apply the NI2 to the system through a different method than OTA, or if there is a particular file I should check to see what the reason it is failing might be.
Thanks for any advice.

No. I didn't that I remember specifically, but it is possible that I did freeze something and just don't remember.
When I start the phone it boots up then presents me with an error saying "Unfortunately, VZWAVSService has stopped." Otherwise everything seems to be fine.
I didn't have any problems applying the OTA for NE9 so found it odd that this one wouldn't push out correctly.

Heimdall might work with the smaller kernel files but honestly I haven't tried it yet. Give Jodin a try, you can run it from the website or off your computer. Jodin uses heimdall so it won't work with large tar files but should be ok with the smaller ones. Here is the NCG PIT file you will need also. Don't worry it is the same pit for all the versions so far.

You're extremely lucky you did not lock your bootloader. I understand a rooted phone with a custom recovery will normally prevent an OTA update from successfully installing. But, to be on the safe side, I would NEVER allow an OTA update to be installed on my Developer Edition phone. Just a suggestion...if you have a Developer Edition S5 do not take an OTA or ODIN/Flash a retail firmware. If you do, your bootloader will get locked and you'll be left with a very expensive retail version of the S5.
Hey everyone,
So I found online that the AT&T update to Marshmellow started on 2-8-16. I haven't been able to find anything officially from AT&T but apperently the version is H81020n and its 971 MB. Has anyone gotten the update yet?
Just saw this thread and figured I'd check. Went into the update center and notification popped up for new 950mb update. Must be it cause I was already on 10o. Didn't even have to use LG Bridge like the other carrier guys were doing.

I would have done this but didn't even think about it when I saw the update come through. Was happy to finally be getting 6.0
Hopefully somebody else can help you with that.

Debloater does not need root as long as you are running KitKat or newer :good:. Without root it just freezes/disables the apps instead of completely removing them.
edit : these are the apps i block using debloater without losing any functionality i need : http://pastebin.com/d64Vydmy

So, and I apologize if this is a stupid question, will Chainfire's advances in the systemless SuperSU help us when it comes to rooting Marshmallow on our H810?
can we update AT&T phone OTA outside the US without at&t sim card???

not possible. you can't modify the system files and boot without a modified kernel. We don't have an unlocked bootloader, so no kernels, thus no root.
if you root MM your phone will just loop without the custom kernel.

so the file it downloaded isn't a zip... it's just 'dlpkgfile'
7zip can open it but there's a similar file inside and that one can't be opened.... dunno.

That's the missing piece I needed to understand. Thanks! Sucks, but thanks! :highfive:
got it! looks good to me - so far...
I upgraded early yesterday morning and my phone has been hot almost all the time!! The battery life is way worse than prior to the upgrade. I have cleaned out all my junk files and cache rebooted and recharged a few times. Also optimized my apps a few times. I just picked up my phone after 2 hours of no use and it was warm and the battery is draining at a faster rate than with Lollipop... Anybody else experiencing this?
Awesome, glad the update is out....I haven't done the update just yet...waiting to see if we hear anything about root. I'm wondering if we are still able to downgrade via TOT method if need be...if that's the case then i'll update ASAP. I actually have heard that there are some battery issues with the update, but again I'm not on 6.0 yet so I can't tell you from my experience.
2 questions

Also can I just unistall SuperSU and update or do I need to wait tell I'm home and flash a clean image

No root.
I've never managed to update w/o flashing the unrooted version of whatever rooted version I'm running. If there's an easier way, I'm not aware of it.

Asking too
FINALLY! Still waiting for the Ota to hit my phone... Anyone gotten it yet? And I'm betting March's security update is going to be included too.

I'll wait until I can manually flash.
Downloading it now. I will be really interested to see if they managed to address the stand-by bug that was causing excess drain and upgrade the modem firmware to improve connectivity. Those are the two main remaining issues with this phone. Hopefully they also implemented a method to force applications into full-screen, but I'm not holding my breath on it.
Updating now!!!

Already disappointed on the modem firmware front. No upgrade there. Also, no ability to force full-screen. Going to pass judgement on stand-by bug after 48 hour or so, unless obviously an issue.
The fact that it was not released to beta first makes me think it may just be an official release of the beta

I sure as hell hope not because the deep-sleep issue is horrible. You lose an average of 1.5-2h of actual SoT and the drain is regularly >1% per hour in stand-by.
I just keep getting an installation error, now I have a permanent notification telling me that the installation failed.

you are probably on Rooted device, or activate usb debug mode. Try to unroot if you are

I am on 8.1b1 rooted. I flashed the stock 8.1b1 boot img to remove root. Then tried to sideload the 8.1 official OTA zip, and I get this:
E: Package is for source build essential/mata/mata:8.1.0/OPM1.180104.010/144:user/release-keys but expected essential/mata/mata:8.1.0/OPM1.180104.010/144:user/test-keys
Installation aborted.

Not sure what else I can try short of the full flashable build image once Essential posts it to their website.

I was in the same boat as you. I was on 8.1B1 rooted so I fastboot flashed the boot.img, then rebooted , downloaded the OTA which wouldn't install.
Went back to boot-loader, flashed the boot.img to both slots, rebooted, took OTA, and it still won't work. I get "couldn't update installation problem"
I didn't have an issue getting the last OTA, the same way.
I dunno
Edit: Mine just did a factory data reset on boot up. I think I'll be able to install the OTA now.....

Yea..not looking to start over.
The OTA I downloaded was off the reddit announcement thread. I'm assuming that guy pulled it off the device. Essential said they were going to post "sideloading files" also. So, I'm hoping that those are somehow different. (Otherwise why wouldn't they just throw a link up there)
Wonder if Essential pushed it since Pixel is now offering pre release of Android P?
My radio has noticeably improved, instead of VZW its finally showing Verizon wireless. And the new developer options are nice

My install wasn't working either at first (same boat as you guys, Magisk rooted with custom kernel). At first I just did a Magisk uninstall and reboot but it wouldn't install. Thought maybe I still had a custom recovery installed, but there was no TWRP in recovery. So, I just did a sideload install of the 8.1 beta using adb and then rebooted. That put me back on stock 8.1b1 and retained all my settings/data. Then I made sure my settings were correct in developer options (USB debugging, etc.), and it's finally installing. Not sure, maybe I just didn't hold my mouth right the first couple times, but it's working now.
Can anyone tell me if stable has multitouch issues that were on beta?
Rooted 7.1.1 took the update just fine, lost root and twrp
Looking at META_INF\com\android\metadata, it's expecting essential/mata/mata:8.1.0/OPM1.180104.010/144:user/release-keys but, based on the text at the top of the screen when sideloading, the device is at ssential/mata/mata:8.1.0/OPM1.180104.010/144:user/test-keys. Changing it is pointless, since META_INF\MANIFEST.MF contains a SHA-256 hash of of the metadata file. I'm going to try recomputing the hash and updating the OTA zip.
Edit: Didn't work. But has someone on reddit confirm Jank4AUs situation.
