I am currently rooted so am deferring until I can verify that it does not remove the root and/or a supported root exists for the new version. I looked through a few things, but couldn't find any details for the update at all. Anyone have more info?

It does in fact remove the root. I'm on the unlocked version and I took the update. It broke my root. So i just installed the update manually and re-rooted it.
Weird, I just got my second update for the device this morning. I was updated to 1.27.428.5, security patch Nov 1 2015. I'm using an unlocked A9 direct from HTC Canada.
Release notes were:
System Enhancement
Battery Life Improvement
Android Security Patches
Installer was 244.4MB
jbea007 - So its still possible to reroot with it? The way I did before wiped everything and I just got it the way I want it. Could use Titanium, but curious what method you use to root and/or if there's an existing method which doesn't wipe data. Thanks

So... I'm about to get a new S6 for Verizon. There's pretty limited info in this thread, but a lot of it seems like a new S6(as of 10/01/2015) isn't rootable/ROMable because of the most recent OTA that I would assume would be on a phone bought now. Is that correct? If not can someone point me to threads that show how to root and get a custom recovery on?
Thanks,
Craig
Correct. You will not be able to root the new s6 unfortunately. You can likely buy one on swappa that hasn't been updated and is running fireflash or whatever.

.....unless you get lucky and get a phone with OC3 or OE2. Verizon just sent me a replacement S6 (was having major BT issues) and I got lucky enough to get one on OC3. S6 + OE2 + root + greenify = me happy :laugh:
Software out-of-the-box

Were you able to get a new S6 from Verizon with either OC3 or OE2, if so which one? I am interested in getting it too, but it's a no go if root is not possible.

I'm worried that if I get a new S6 from verizon it will auto-update to 5.1.1 OG5 during the initial setup wizard/process. Can you explain how you stopped yours from updating to OE2 and OG5? Thanks in advance
The device won't auto-update itself without consent from the user. My replacement came with OC3, so I pulled down OE2 (from the web) and pushed that to the phone using ODIN. Once that was done, I applied root which prevents the phone from receiving OTA updates.

Thanks for the info! I went in to a verizon the other day and their answers were all over the place; it's amazing how they know so little about the devices they spend all day selling, servicing. They tried to tell me that a mandatory update came out Friday "for all verizon android phones" and the play store wouldn't work if it wasn't updated to it (though they told me also that the user has no choice to reject updates - lol)

I got my s6 from someone on swappa and for some reason, once I first booted and was doing initial setup, the phone automatically rebooted into update mode. As soon as it was back up and running, the build version was too new to root and the bootloader version had been updated too. I don't know why it did this for me, I was really tempted to hard reboot while it was in update mode to prevent it because I really wanted to root, but I was even more worried about bricking the phone. I figure maybe the guy who sold it to me had already downloaded the update but did not run it, and after doing a factory reset maybe the phone was somehow set to auto-execute the update...
I'm bootloader unlocked and rooted.This morning I received a notification for a system update. I'm also on the US unlocked A9. Has anyone received the update while being rooted?
I don't own the device but here's usually how it works. If you're on a stock ROM, rooted or not, you'll get the system update notification. However, if you're using a modified /system, ie Root, the update will likely error out while flashing and send u back to the OS

Instead of starting a new thread you should be reading the [Root] HTC A9 thread in A9 Android Development, where this problem is actively discussed.
Hey guys, I just got myself an unlocked ATT G4 H81010b. My girl and I got matching phones, and after she bought the bring your own phone ST SIM pack and transferred her number she received an OTA update. Her phone is now H81010o. I'm not sure if hers was a 10b before the update i didnt think to check. I did not want to set up my phone until I was able to figure out how to root it, however - now that I have found I need an OTA in order to root it (i havent seen any confirmed 10b roots, i cant find any 10b specific commands - i was going to use the "root injection method"). The only difference here is, I am simply moving my SIM from my G2 to my G4, so I'm wondering if this would make any difference as to whether i recieve an OTA or not? Furthermore, I am confused because all the research I have done indicates that ST doesnt do OTAs. But i do know that her phone restarted, downloaded a software update and installed it. Is it possible for me to manually install the update? I really would just like to root, install TWRP, and CM13 (or maybe I'll try a different ROM this time). I know this is a loaded question, but any help is appreciated.
I finally found a confirmed working H81010b rooted image, no need to update now.

Should be popping up on your device (you might have to pull the SIM to trick your handset into seeing the update).

Just got mine
You are not tricking it into checking with Google...The update comes from Moto servers. However the sim can cause the imei controlled rollout to not work correctly on some handsets thus removing the sim allows the phone to get back.in line so to speak.

As far we know so far, this is for the XT1575 only... just the December 2016 security update to 6.0, very minor update. Started rolling our about a week ago... a big push seemed to happen on the 14th and 15th with many users receiving it those days.

Is there any way to update without wifi? I have unlimited data through Cricket Wireless but the system will only let me do it over wifi.

No, WiFi is required to get a Moto OTA.
Who the hell cares? This should have been the 7.x update! Too little too late Lenovo.

Exactly! There's absolutely no excuse why the Pure hasn't been updated to Nougat especially since the phone uses a damn near vanilla Android! HTC 10 & LG G5 had theirs for over 2 months now & some Samsung S7/S7E has been getting theirs over the past few weeks. My wife regrets buying this phone now over the Nexus 6P last year & now can't wait to dump this phone for the upcoming Galaxy S8+.

We should all agree that Pure program by GG is a fail. GG initiated it with HTC, Moto... with Pure Edition and commit that they would be upgraded just after Nexus lines
You guys are missing the point.
Nougat 7.1 came out in December. In order to have a smooth update to 7.1, you need the pre requisites which is the security update

I understand your sentiment regarding the near vanilla, and I'm surprised Google didn't commit Lenovo to keeping the pure/style updated. Lenovo has given over to "standard business practices", which unfortunately means that the manufactures focus on updating their newest flagships first (Moto Z line, G5, GS7, HTC 10). This is nothing new and has been this way for a while. Once again, the rule applies: if you want the latest and greatest Android updates upon release buy a Google phone (Pixel). Aside from that I expect very little. If I want the latest and greatest, I turn to XDA and other sources for custom ROMs (which is nothing new for me).

thanks for this, it was driving me crazy that I kept getting promoted to do this, but the update doesn't work with twrp and/or unlocked bootloader. How did you extract the update to sideload it?

It'll be another 2-3 months to even get 7.0 and than no more updates. That's why **** motorola/lenovo nobody buy the G6 or G6 plus so they finally go out of business!

you don't extract it to sideload it ... you need to make sure you have original partitions (this will NOT apply to a modified system or boot), and then restore the factory recovery. Factory recovery has a sideload from ADB option.
If you have modified enough, you may have to backtrack to the last full system image (may 2016, I think it was), then do the sept update, followed by the dec update.
Those are available in other threads on XDA.
Guys there is any chance of volte update because jio expanding their services to next one year
Can it is possible that after nought update it is possible

why is it so difficult to apply a few security patches. at this point i'll wait for nougut. I've been eyeing a few of the nougut roms, but I see comments about stability and features not working.
do we need to relock the bootloader too? or just no root, stock partitions, and stock recovery?
I bought my S8 on eBay, AT&T unlocked
However, it's last update was the July 1 2018 Android Security patch level update.
I personally have not updated the phone since I got it
When I try to update it by going into software update, it says that 'current software is up to date' without even searching
I'm not using an ATT sim card nor am I in the US
Can anyone assist?
Is there any program that I can download that can update my phone without root?
I don't want to be a ***** but please use the search next time , here is a hint: Odin!!

Download the latest version of the firmware from sammobile and use ODIN flash it. You should be ok from there.
