New Update: OK3 - Verizon Galaxy S 5 General

"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.

Should I upgrade?

I was the one who upgraded without researching first the last update to OF1. I don't think there's a rooting method yet for that version of firmware, should I take this new update or no?

If you are already on OF1, I would recommend you take the update.
There is no root for it, nor any of the future builds,
as well as no sign of there being root in the near future.
The latest update, 5.1.1, is an important update.
It offers support for RAW image capture; it also patches StageFright.
There are really no cons in updating if you are already on the OF1 build.

New Update - PF4

According to the Verizon Galaxy S5 Update Page:
This software update has been tested to optimize device performance, resolve known issues and apply the latest security patches.

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.

Good catch. Hopefully, like you said before, it fixes some of the issues from the MM update.

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:

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.

Getting mine too
Hey guys, I have a question I hope someone can help me out with. I have the sm-g935v which I flashed to sm-g935u. I'm considering flashing it to sm-g935t since the unlocked firmware will be getting quarterly updates which is unfortunate, and I would like to use samsung cloud, FM radio, and now Nougat. Would I have to factory reset my phone back to the verizon firmware before flashing tmobile's, or can I just flash from my current unlocked firmware straight to tm? Prior to Nougats release, I had downloaded the latest tmobile firmware and tried to flash it with no success so not sure what I did wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
OTA
Won't taking the OTA update certain partitions we don't necessarily want to update? Like the BL, for example? Could this prevent rolling back to 6.0.1 if there are issues? Or does this not matter since we don't have an unlocked BL anyway? Thanksssss
Apparently I do not see that update on my phone as of now

The update is for T-Mobile users using the T firmware. You are on the US Unlocked firmware.
I got this also and updated this morning. Very smooth and loving it! Did OTA update and one thing i noticed after updating i wasn't able to clear my cache like before. When i power down, hold all 3 buttons (power, home and up key) get a screen more like a warning saying installing other firmware's or roms can damage my device. Not the exact wording but similar. Has anyone else tried doing that and got the same warning msg?

Ironic, I just went back to PH1 last night to resolve some quirks with the T-mobile software I was having. Guess I will leave it alone and wait for the OTA to hit.
No update available yet...
Would love to have the flash files for Odin for a clean install

Probably going to be a while unless someone gets the update soon

Is it pretty safe to say if we're on the T-Mobile Nougat we will need to do the "full stock firmware" and flash via odin?

You need to be on stock software period...
Don't use that link though. I jumped the gun on that, it's just the beta downloads.
Will we be able to pick up the OTA if we're still running the Verizon Nougat beta?
Just got mine. Wiped and installed and upgraded.

No OTA yet here.
I have the Nougat update coming through on my phone right now. Have been running fully stock, latest OTA. Download started on its own.
Does FoxFi tethering still work?

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.

I got this pushed to me too, updating 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?

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.
http://sihmar.com/software-update-g930vvrs4bqc9-galaxy-s7-edge/
Should say further improvements to guaranteeing random lag.
