lock your phone.. and make it inpossible to root, and read-only system...

Took a while to download via kies, probably due to kies is full ROM as apposed to OTA size.

I saw chainfire's tweet which suggested something similar.
Why would they do this? Makes no sense

Yeah, and it changes the SELinux from permissive to enforcing.

I haven't noticed any differences apart from an annoying problem. I get constant 'Prevention information' errors:
"An application has been forced to stop for an unauthorized attempt to access system in your device. It may be solved by the policy update service. It may be safe to delete an application obtained from an unauthorized route. Check now?"
If I try to use the 'Security policy update', it fails and says: 'Update failed due to network issues'.
My phone is not rooted and I don't have any dubious apps.

Ah yeah I'm not on 3 anymore after having nothing but trouble with this network I went back to Giffgaff, because Giffgaff runs on the O2 network probably why it showing up now with this update.

So , does it worth to make the update ?
I can do mine , but i have low battery ( phone charging atm ).
Anyone noticed some changes ?
THnx

Personally I wouldn't update to it yet, it seems to enable Knox and/or secure things a bit more. So I've no longer got root (yep my own stupid fault I know - should have left well alone) and cannot now downgrade to an earlier firmware to enable root.
I'm really, really hoping someone comes up with a way to flash a firmware on this version as root was really useful for Tasker with SuperSU. Plea for help here.

Just updated the thread here with the link. I didn't want to start a whole new thread or have it get lost in another thread.

I just bought my phone from Swappa. It's currently rooted,TWRP and running D80120a.
I received OTA update notification last night.
Will I loose root if I allow it to install?
If so, how can I ignore it and disable the notification?

If you're rooted with TWRP, the OTA won't install, at least it didn't for me. I clicked on the OTA and it rebooted into TWRP, but nothing installed. Rebooted the system, the OTA was gone, and I was still on 20a. You will lose root if you install the 20e, but you can re-root with TowelRoot and I believe you can get TWRP back with AutoRec (I used TowelRoot, but not AutoRec). From my understanding, if you use AutoRec, you will lose Knock Code.

So I tried to update and it went through the process. Even seen the little green android saying installing update . phone rebooted still had root access and about phone is showing the "a" version. Checked for update again and it said phone up to date. This doesn't seem right

I'm guessing you don't have a custom recovery? I had TWRP and the green android was on for a split second before TWRP started and it didn't update. I think if you're rooted, you have to update via the support tool or the pc suite. To get root back, use towelroot. Backup your data, but you should be able to keep everything on your phone if you don't wipe/reset.

Cool thanks!

[Q] How do i un root my s6 from the pingpongroot?

So i rooted my s6 thinking that it would be like a jailbreak and i was wrong.. can someone give me a link to a video or some info on how to unroot it. Thanks!

Might be a place to start.
Normally this is something you look at before rooting you device so you know how to if you run into problems

Go into super su app and choose full unroot

I second what krelvinaz said, head over to that thread and start back to stock and start fresh

I was going to use the SuperSu to do the Full unroot. If I did that, then installed the current Verizon OTA, could I then re-root using pingpong? Or does this OTA disable the ability to root again? I've read so many posts and articles from various sources, some say yes, some say no. The more I dig the more conflicting info I find.
The only reason I rooted in the first place was to swap out the mixer_paths.xml file. I'm curious if the OTA will wipe that moded file out. But that's probably another discussion.
Thanks

I rooted first and a day later took ota. After ota pingpong root just needed to "download data" or whatever then root worked fine.

Really? Bummer, mine isn't taking the update. I've tried several times and it just fails after the download and after the reboot to install. Nothing bad happens after that, it just boots up like normal. Then it harasses me again and again to do the update.

I think what you are talking about is you were rooted and tried to take the Ota and it wouldn't install correct? If that's the case, yeah you have to unroot or Odin the new version then reboot.

Use the verizon upgrade utility that is on your phone when it's plugged in as an installer. Make sure your battery is charged all the way too.

That did the trick! Thanks so much. It worked just like it should have. Afterwards I did have to rerun pingpong, but that took about 2 seconds and I'm back to normal now with the update. Thanks a million!

I did that, as I usually do when I sell my phones.... It bricked it and I could reinstall stock.

Unrooting options
To summarize the unrooting options:
1. Unroot with SuperSu - By some reports this method does not work
2. Odin stock rom - Wipes the device and data, ?trips knox?
3. Use the Verizon Update Utility - Upgrades the devices to latest OTA
I am on 5.02 Stock (AOC3), rooted, Knox not tripped.
I am really not interested in wiping my device or updating to the latest OTA.
What I want to do is *temporarily* unroot to see if I can get Android Pay working again.
Has anyone had any luck with method 1 above? If android pay and your credit cards are activated/verified while unrooted, can you then re-root and still have Android Pay work?
I really miss using Android Pay... but not enough to lose root!!!

If you go into the superuser app and click the enable superuser to turn it off you can activate a card with android pay. You won't lose root this way.
I did that with my bank card and once my card was listed in Android pay I reenabled superuser and everything works fine.
I'm also using root cloaker but I don't know if it's needed.

Awesome!!! That was too easy.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

@dobosininja
Is your android pay still working? I was able to use Android pay for only a short period ~1 day. Now I get the message "This card cannot be used right now" It doesn't matter what card I use or whether SuperSU is enabled. Maybe it is detecting SuperSU itself.
What app / procedure did you use for cloaking? Did it trip your knox?
Thanks!

Mine is still showing my card being attached, but I have not used it lately.
I am using root cloak plus, but I can't guarantee it works.
My knox is not tripped since I rooted with ping pong that didn't trip it.

If I'm correct, the Token needs to refresh from time to time. It may be that that process is detecting the root.
I'd try the Root Cloak he mentioned.

Looks like it was just a modem update. Nothing too serious.
Only difference that I can make our is teh baseband updated from G935TUVU1APB6 to G935TUVU1APB8
Modem updates are generally about that size too if I'm not mistaken.

So this should not effect the bootloader? Its the one thing most people are afraid of messing up in fear of no future root.

Hard to tell without looking at the actual update. They could have added something else into it that's just not showing up in the ABOUT section.

Got mine this morning as well.

Did it earlier this morning, so far so good, not noticing anything unusal.

Isn't the bootloader locked? I thought root was dead as it is.

Maybe its a quiet update that will allow us to unlock the bootloader . Anyone toy with it yet? Wishful thinking im sure, but stranger things have happened.

During the update, it seemed the device goes into Download mode, flashes new radios and firmware. Yay stability?

For me boot time is noticeably slower, and I have more trouble with apps on the sd card not having icons/being available for much longer at boot than before the update. Tests of sd transfer speeds are somewhat slower post update.

After the update, my wireless connection is TERRIBLE.
At first I thought my wireless router, but everything else in the house works great :-\ If I turn off the wifi, everything is normal. I'm glad I have truly unlimited LTE, because this is going to be annoying until they release an update patch.
I've already booted to bootloader and cleared the cache, no help. It's like a delay in connecting to anything wireless... Speedtest won't run because it times out on the ping test.
Hangouts works, but it's delayed. When I type a message, it says, "sending...." for about 20 seconds before it sends. :-\
If this is a nuisance at work all day today, I'll probably just backup everything and push the original stock rom from KIES.

I would imagine force stopping the system update software would get rid of the message and then using something like Package Disabler Pro to disable it would prevent it from checking again.

Upgrading to 6.0 without a Verizon sim card

Hi, new here and looking for some info. I recently bought a used Verizon GN5 unlocked on eBay and using it here in Japan. However, it's still on Android 5.1.1 and I want to upgrade to 6.0. problem is, it keeps saying that software update is not available and asking me to try again. Is it not possible to just connect to Wi-Fi and install the upgrade. With Docomo it's possible. TIA

Download Smart Switch for PC or Mac: http://www.samsung.com/us/smart-switch/
Install.
Run.
Plug your phone in.
It will say there's an update available and ask if you'd like to download it.
Say yes, and wait.

I'm having the exact same problem (using a Verizon Note 5 in Europe).
I tried the (latest version of) Smart Switch, but the installation hangs at the beginning; is it possible the SM-N920V isn't supported? Or am I doing something wrong?

@blindmanpb, thank you very much. It worked perfectly. That's why I love Samsung, support for every minute detail on their devices.

I have the latest update here that you can flash with Odin. Download PG5 for the newest.

Hello, I've read somewhere here that without a Verizon SIM you cannot get OTA on this model . also on my device smart switch does not work with updating, it keeps saying something about server error. The only way I could get it to update was to use the Verizon Updater from the phone. Never thought that Verizon could be such a bunch of retards with such limitations. I wish I could convert it to a 920C model but it does not seem possible

You can either download the firmware update that you want to install and flash it via recovery using side load if you know how or just download odin from @Misterxtc post above and use that on Windows to flash it... The easiest way is odin.
