New OTA B0C4 - Verizon Galaxy S 5 General

Just did an OTA update to B0C4, it updated 303 apps...no other info out there on it.

Curious how battery life is on this 'new' build.

Here's Verizon's PDF http://www.verizonwireless.com/dam/support/pdf/system_update/benefits-galaxy-s5-3-27-15.pdf Looks the same as the OA8 one except a different build number. Hopefully someone makes a rooted version similar to OA8 that we can use to upgrade too!

Can someone capture and post the update file for this OTA.
Edit: I captured the update.zip and will post it shortly.

Did upgrading let you keep root?

Upgrading will always kill root. Someone needs to capture the ota file so that myself or someone else can put together an update and keeproot method.

They will stay installed but you lose root access. Use root checker from the Play Store.

So you Updated using what method and were able to keep root? Just taking the OTA or did you concoct something?

I simply let the update install as is. I thought that I would loose root but I figured I could get it back after a dev built a new kernel ODIN file for OC4. It turned out that root did not go away.

I'm pretty sure the only way to do it is to search
If you want to unroot you just flash that RC29 thats floating around then you just sit back and wait for Tmo or your carrier to send you the 1.6-OTA.
I promise if you click through the next couple pages there is a guide

You can goto check for update and see what happens.You have to go into phone info.
But why are you unrooting when rooted versions of the OTA are here?

I'm sure we're going to get oodles of people updating, then complaining when they can't use Xposed. Like in this thread, and the 5 others below it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-installer-lolipop-t3013726
I'm excited it's finally released, I think L is a much better OS. I'm excited to use it eventually!
Mine did the first update then says the second will be available soon.
I could go back to stock and check, but that's a lot of work.
Very Exciting News over here
Hi all!
Did some reading through the ODIN thread for the Verizon GS5. I'm still on 4.4.2, rooted, because I didn't see the benefit in just going to 4.4.4 and having to jump through hoops to keep root.
With 5.0 on the horizon here, I'm hoping people can shed some light on the update process, even if it means losing root. Currently when an OTA update is attempted, it downloads, goes into the stock bootloader, attempts to install, realizes that a "custom firmware" was attempted, and tells me the update failed. I just froze sdm 1.0 through Titanium and figured I would worry about it once Lollipop approached.
With that being said, is the only way to make the phone not read "custom" with the unlock symbol on boot to revert back to stock with Odin? Just planning to see if it's possible to keep data on the upgrade or if I'll essentially have to start from scratch.
Thanks!

Ok. Finally got the OTA. How long does this take to complete? Mine says "Working..." for a while now.
Oops. Did grant USB Debug Permission on phone. Worked like a charm. It does ask to update supersu and reboot.
Thanks so much for this easy root method!

You cant update if you're rooted, you yes you do
You need to flash stock Lollipop. I'm not positive, but the 5.1.1 tot file may be in tung's root thread
***Edit - See the OP thread, put a link to the stock tot thread
I just downloaded the stock firmware and used the same method that I used for root.
Im downloading it now hopefully its worth it

Yes it does - flawlessly and quickly, even with my Spigen case. The fingerprint scanner also works now with other supporting apps, like LastPass, thanks to the standard API.

The root method will not work because the tot file is for Android 5.1 not 6.0. I am currently unsure if you can return to root Android 5.1 from Android 6.0 with tungkick root tot. Has anyone tried this to see if you can downgrade and root?
