Stagefright patch? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
I'm running the latest XEF firmware (COH2), but even this firmware doesn't contain the stagefright security patch. Does anyone has a clue when we can expect a security update?
Greets,

Just turn off automatic MMS downloads and you're fine but no, I don't know when we'll have it (I thought it already was patched!)

Yeah I did. But I just don't get why that security patch still isn't here. Nexus and HTC devices are already patched.

BOG9 did have the 'fix' but apparently it wasn't the full fix so apps were giving a false-positive. Obviously Samsung are concentrating on getting the Note 5/Edge+ working first

Could someone post the changelog for this update please? I've looked around and can only find the changelog for the first 5.1.1 update from 5.0.2.

New Update: OK3

"This software update includes Android security updates for your Samsung Galaxy S5"
Based on what I've seen from people who updated, here's the info:
Still 5.0 with the same changelist as the past 3 updates (4782027)
Patches all the known issues with stagefright
Includes the 2015-11-01 security patch from google.
Here is the update.zip for anyone (hopefully @muniz_ri) that wants to make a ROM from it.
Probably another update to screw us over like oe1

You can get the latest OK3 update and keep root and have the ability to roll back here

Just upgraded from og5 to ok3. I figured I couldn't root anyways due to accidently upgrading to og5 so I went ahead and updated to ok3.
What about ok7?

Was it worth it? I am in the same boat and scared to pull the trigger. I am kicking myself for doing the latest update because I have the unlimited data plan (which just want up $20 per month by the way).
can we still flash back to NCG if we had not taken ota's?

Yes, you could flash back to NCG if did not take OTA to OE1 or OG5 or OK3.

Is it safe to download this update, move it to the external sd card, then use the button combo and update it that way without a PC? I don't have one and my OTA update thing keeps telling me "software update is currently not available". BTW I'm on the OG5 version currently.

New Update - PF4

According to the Verizon Galaxy S5 Update Page:

Also,
This software update fixes an issue where the device couldn't be unlocked, even when using the correct PIN or pattern unlock code.

We already know it includes the June Security Patch. Hopefully they fixed the problems we've been having with MM as well.
Here's the tiny (59.1mb) update.zip: Link
Yeah I just got it. I am going to wait to update though.
I received the notification too. Probably just the June security updates that all the other carriers already rolled out.

I don't think so. Normally if it's just the security update, the info on the update just says "This update includes the latest Android security updates."
This says enhancements and improvements along with Android security updates.

Yeah.. I'm getting tired of my music randomly pausing for a second.. lol. I wish I could just update now but eff losing my Dev bootloader. I hope the odin .tar comes out soon so we can just flash it without the aboot.

This one actually rebooted the phone and started it up from scratch and optimized Android system. The previous security updates have never done that to my phone.
How do I keep from getting this? Already on MM with unlocked bootloader. I should say it's already on my phone waiting for me to apply it.
Well now the Verizon Galaxy S5 Update Page says:
This software update fixes an issue where the device couldn't be unlocked, even when using the correct PIN or pattern unlock code.

No mention of fixing camera quality or music skipping problems.
Just finished the update. Takes you up to 6.0.1. Don't see much else different.
EDIT: NM, didn't even realize the last update was 6.0.1. Thought it was just 6.0
Software Version: MMB29M.G900VVRU2DPF4

Android security patch June 1st also
Ahh nice. I didn't even see the mention of the security updates.
Did Verizon patch the aboot.mbn for 15 EMMC users, or is it always included in updates? There is a new aboot and boot.img file included in the new PF4 OTA zip.

Like any OTA, you'll lose Dev Bootloader status. We'll have to wait for someone like @jrkruse or @muniz_ri to make a ROM.

I need the tar file for the pf4.... So i can flash my locked and unrooted pb1 phone via odin. Does someone have a link to the needed tar file? I need the stock tar one not debloated or rooted one.

Got it today, couldn't capture the update package..
Has anyone noticed their screen becoming noticeably warm since receiving the January security update? I'm experiencing this whilst charging and discharging, with casual browsing. My Moto X Play has always ran pretty cool up until now. I'm on stock and unrooted.

It's 13 MB update file mate, you'll need to wait a long time before full ROM is available; just update using the OTA files that are available.

Finally, this release seem completely free of any StageFright vulnerabilities. StageFright detector did not find any trouble when I scanned the phone.

New OTA update G935VVRU4BQC5

Still haven't received it but it looks like a junk update.
NRD90M.G935VVRU4BQC5
This software update provides the latest enhancements for Enterprise customers.
One Talkā„  from Verizon:
The Galaxy S7 edge now supports One Talk, connecting your office and mobile devices with one number.
App update:
Amazon Shopping (version 8.1.1)
https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-update/
Edit: I received it and it updated Android security patch level to April
Are you sure that the OTA Firmware isn't actually a 7.0+ Nougat Build? The QC builds that I've seen so far have all been at least base 7.0 Nougat.
I don't have a S7 vzw. Yet. Probably within a few days.
Sent from my Galaxy Note5 using XDA Labs
I got this pushed to me too, updating now.
I just checked system updates. There is a new one for me, it include Verizon One Talk and some security updates. Don't k ow if it's QC5. I'm downloading now.

Yep. You can return to stock and keep some directory changes you made by using their desktop Verizon Software Recovery utility for Samsung. You'd lose root but the phone will get and install OTA updates.

Installed and used it for a couple of days. Found, that security changes made all calendar notifications on locked screen to be hidden - "some hidden event" & "some hidden time"
I know we will lose root if we take this update but is the update still rootable? I'm rooted on QA4 still and refused to take this update yet as I just received the notification today(Tuesday 5/2/17). I like being rooted with dual speaker mod,and V4A installed. Can anybody confirm if this version is rootable using the Nougat root method? How can I disable the uodates?

If you go to @jrkruse "root for nougat" thread and follow his guide, you'll be able to root the qc5firmware.

I am already on BQC5 and just this morning I got a new system software update downloaded, ready to install message. Odd thing is in the past, prior to BQC5 the notification showed the build number, date and what was changing. Now it doesn't show me anything. It just says there is an update do you want to install now or later.....
Anyone have info on this "unknown" system update?
Looks like this
Software Update G930VVRS4BQC9 for Samsung Galaxy S7 and G935VVRS4BQC9 Galaxy S7 Edge
Android May security update.
Device Stability improvements, bug fixes.
Further improvements to performance.

New update July security patch

So I went from the U firmware back to stock as I'm done for now on any mods and will stay with stock, receiving updates and all but Tmo sent a new update and now I have July 1 security patch. The phone seems snappy all seems to be well. Anyone else get this yet as I did not see it posted.

Have you noticed anything different?
I tried using gear VR last night but it wouldbt boot pass the logo screen but that could also be because of adhell, I'll check again tonight but everything else seems to work fine.
Can someone please share the modem file from this patch?

This update is already being discussed here: tmo sending an update.
