Anyone get the update with Knock Code?

Just wondering. I have some friends who are not rooted who said they got update.

Friends on T-Mobile? I believe only AT&T got it.

I'm rooted with TWRP and I received a notification that the update was downloaded and ready to install. I'm going to update it manually using the LG Mobile Support Tool just to make sure I don't brick my phone.

can you let me know if you 1) lose root and 2) lose recovery please?
I just got prompted for the update, but I do not want to download it yet.

In my experience, updating via LG Support Tool wipes everything. I am backing up all my data right now. Hopefully towelroot still works on this version.
EDIT: So I just finished the update via LG Support Tool. My data was left intact, but stuff was broke anyways - probably from using system cleaner app and then not having root after the update. So I am doing a factory reset anyway and will start all over. I expected it to be wiped anyway.

I ended up using the LG Mobile Support Tool to install the update. I wasn't able to install the OTA; it booted into TWRP, then when I rebooted the system, it said I was up to date, even though I was still on 10a. I lost root, but was able to re-root with towelroot. Everything was still there when I booted, although I don't have TWRP recovery. Not sure if I want to do that since I read somewhere that I will lose Knock Code. Make sure you back up your data just in case things don't go smoothly.

See if re-rooting with towelroot will fix anything that's broken before you do a complete wipe.

Oh nice. No downgrade to root process again.

and I do like the knock code functionality. :cyclops:

Hey guys how would you go about doing a fresh install with this or can we not unless we have the full kdz file?

Some cool new stuff. Seems a little boggy... Lookout was killing me so I went to disable it and was greeted by a app management screen. nice

If I use KDZ to flash the update, will I loose TWRP? Or do you think a flashable zip file will be made in the future?

I just updated my NON ROOTED d801 g2 and now my touch screen does not work at all. No errors during installation.
I ran into this problem before when I tried to update the touchscreen firmware through the menus via
3845#801#
My screen would go unresponsive, but after 10 mins and a couple of reboots, it would work back (my guess is that it reverted to the old touch firmware).
This time though, the touchscreen seems to be permanently disabled. Anyone else running into this issue?

Yes you will lose TWRP, if you're concerned about that, hold out for the flashable zip, which I'm sure is coming in the next few days.

You can block SDM.apk with this debloater if you don't want to be nagged anymore. Seeing that the update was already downloaded you will have to enter recovery mode and clear cache to get rid of the install nag. After you do that and disable SDM.apk you will no longer get the notification. I went ahead and installed it anyways because I'm not too concerned with root. I'd rather have a secure device.

Your welcome. I feel the same here. My S6 lost root the Note 4 never had it except the dev ed I had for a short time so I got used to no root as well. With the debloater it's no big deal for me anymore and being able to theme really settled the issue for me. I can do basically everything I want and still have a secure phone without worrying when root will get killed. I do miss building ROMs a little but I can deal without it.

weird layout after update
So I took the update and since the all my menus are on the right side of screen, my send button in text is now on the left side as well as my statusbar icons. Nobody else mentioned this. Is it just my n5?

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.

Hey guys. New bug in the camera when trying to shoot in raw mode where the driver locks up and doesn't recover until a reboot. Video below.

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.

Post your nougat update.zip!

Whoever gets the update tomorrow. PULL THE UPDATE ZIP!
If I get it I will and post it, for the flat variant. I have ready done this from my wife's sprint edge variant.
Here is how you do it:
You have to be on the latest firmware and not rooted.
If you get the update notification.
Download it, but do not install it.
Then root your device. DO NOT WIPE IT
The update.zip is located in /data/fota/update.zip
Pull it using adb or use root Explorer to move it to the root of your SDCard and then your pc.
Please wait for someone to verify it works before flashing the update or unroot.
Come on people, support the community!

Since it tried to register too late, I cant do this (would have done so otherwise - I have restored to stock and re-rooted so many times I could do it in my sleep).
Now I will be looking forward to getting my hands on the ODINable download. I will test it right off and contribute feedback here after.
PS - just looked at the terms and conditions - they wouldn't like this at all lol.
PS2 - maybe they have seen these posts and pulled the plug - server down and Beta call in number down also - have bad feeling about this - could that inadvertently been sending out unlocked bootloaders??

I'm waiting for this too.

Alright just got off the phone with the customer service representative, they said that they are working with t-mobile as i type this message to get this issue resolved and yes we arev still getting the update. They also said that it's not an issue on Samsung side but rather a problem with t-mobile's server's so guess were gonna have to wait till they get thing's resolved. I asked if it would be fixed today and he said he can't give me a timeline of how or when it will be fixed so stay confident people we are getting it. If you'd like to hear this information with your own ears call the number your selves !!! 1-866-609-3271

Based on what people from the nouget thread are saying.....we're SOL on getting a .zip file

So it looks like Samsung figured out everyone was sharing the files. For some reason the saved update.zip is failing to update the firmware when it is flashed. No fix yet.
Also I got the beta software so far you aren't missing out on much. It's still not as good as the Note 7s firmware was.

There are people in the beta forums talking about it and Samsung has referred to the Terms of Service saying users are "not supposed to share the beta software". My guess is that they don't have the servers setup to have TONS of people using the software and it feeding them log files etc. That's why they limited the beta to a set number of users. Also the Beta forums that you get access to as a part of the firmware are getting loaded up with comments from people, way more than Samsung staffed to handle.
Its not an assumption that they don't want everyone using it. It is an assumption that they changed the Tmobile firmware to make it so it couldn't be shared. Its a closed beta not open to all users restricting access is a part of a closed beta.
As for the next beta update. They will be making multiple changes over the coarse of the next month and there will be multiple firmware updates pushed out, per the text you receive when you look for a beta update. There is an additional beta setting to help users schedule the installations so they don't use up all their data. Since the tmobile firmware is locked down to specific devices that are a part of the beta program that practice will most likely continue in future beta updates.
If I had to take a wild guess my bet would be that if you are not a registered beta tester you won't get the next update at all and you won't be able to side load/flash it.

Its more than that. I got the beta. But i cant even flash the pulled update.zip from my own device. They did something that corrupts if trying to copy it.

Sounds like this is dead for TMo at this point ?

@billydroid and whoever has the update.zip and is rooted
Sounds like the nougat zip needs to be adb pulled from device instead of copying it that might make a differnce because your not copying it directly to sdcard or internal its getting pullled directly to pc thus it should stop it from getting corrupted but you will still need root to pull it from fota.

Love the walkthrough style. Thanks for writing this up.

Taking the dive later this week, I have been missing root since moving to QAA. I will try to update over the weekend.

Worked!
Everything worked like a charm. I was already on nougat. followed instructions from step 2 and everything is working. I did have to run root.bat twice to get supersu app to show up, but it was already stated in directions which helped greatly for me not to freak out at that point lol. Anyways as i stated it worked like a charm and anyone on the fence if you rooted before you will be able to do this for sure. Once again thank you very much good sir!

Thanks for the root method I have been waiting for something to come out can't wait to try.
And just a heads up it is frowned upon on XDA to share paid apps.

About to attempt, will post results

How is it running? Smooth? hot?

Thanks for the root method I have been waiting for something to come out can't wait to try.
And just a heads up it is frowned upon on XDA to share paid apps.

Thanks for the work! But not sure what you mean here. Are you saying Knox was tripped? And you cant use volume up when adjusting volume?

Im guessing its a package i disabled or didn't disable so it will take a bit to sort out. Its no biggie i might need to reroot. I can still raise the volume if i press volume down and move the slider. This is the only minor problem I've seen.

Does anyone know where I can find the nougat firmware? Trying to start fresh after a not successful root. Thanks

Power On. It might seem laggy at first but let it load. Check and see if everything is working BT/HotSpot/Voice/MMS. Shouldnt have to edit any APN's or anything.

Okay, but what if there is no data? Then what?

Worked great buddy. No issues here. Runs just as smooth for me as stock did.

If that's the case I would suggest starting over...But just data? Can you call or text? Bluetooth?Hotspot? Is there an LTE symbol in notification bar with no data? Or is it just bars with no service completely? Double check your package disabler.

I imported your XML files for the disabled packages and attempted root. I had an error where it would take a few minutes for an app to update after downloading, do you know how to fix this?

I actually completely restarted the process by reflashing back to stock with the file you linked at the beginning and just followed the process again and got it working this time. Cheers for this tutorial. :good:

Try clearing google play store and google play services cache, if there is little cache then clear data and reenter your gmail. Youre talking about when updating in play store right? If not try only disabling these below instead [from goongydin's thread] and flash engineer. Or manually disabling from list(dont import). But once we disable these apps and flash boot img, these apps aren't supposed to change status which would mean repetitive testing. My honest answer is always going to be try from beginning again.
