BUMP....:good:

I wouldn't be surprised if the network's get it first in the UK, and those of us on simfree BTU will have to wait weeks before we finally get it.

No update here either.

From my understanding OTA updates are way down the pecking order. Samsung have said all region releases will be done via Kies first

No call recording. Stuff kitkat. We have already seen it brings nothing special to the party.

Can't wait

My other phone's a Ferrari.

A little bit annoying as we in the UK were the one of the first in the queue when the Note 3 was launched so you would have thought Sammy would give us a bit more of a priority For the record many here had their Note 3s in 24th September 2013.

I'll keep this updated with newer versions as they're released. Unfortunately I wasn't fast enough to grab the older ones so if anyone would like to donate them to the cause, that would be great.

@iBowToAndroid Does this Stock_Downgrade firmware actually work to downgrade to PC5? https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24533100289590563

Yes... it also enabled video calling and wifi hotspot for me. The tethering/hotspot menu setting is not there, but the dropdown notification settings can have the hotspot setting added. Havent tried the video calling feature. Also the dialer codes do not work in the ##DATA# format.

I think it's the 2nd. So the first OTA. I'm not sure you can downgrade though, that's why I was asking @iBowToAndroid

Yes you can downgrade... but is has its pros and cons. It is not the same as the sprint ota. It has its pros and cons. Some of which I mentioned above. I used Odin to flash the file, but had to delete the MD5 extension for Odin to acknowledge it.

Man I didn't even see your post above. Is the battery life improved when going back to it? Ever since PD3 my battery life hasn't been the same.

I haven't charged my phone fully since yesterday, but it certainly hasn't gotten any worse. The icon for LTE has changed to a 4G icon with this downgrade. Thank you for the link uploaded by iBowToAndroid, its great to have hotspot working again.

Its not the firmware that came with the phone originally. It's the first OTA. I downloaded it. It's only the AP. No BL, CP, or CSC. So those will still be from PD3. I installed it via Odin and am setting the phone back up right now. So far everything is working ok. Would be awesome to have the bootloader and everything else that goes with it, but if it works it works!

I haven't been able to successfully downgrade to PB5. Maybe someone else will have better luck.

The link I posted above is legit. I cannot get the PB5 firmware to take, I keep getting bootloops, but the uploader has had success downgrading all but the bootloader.
The PC5 package totally works though. Bootloader and all. I just successfully Odin'ed all 4 tars back to PC5 and will remain on PC5 until Samsung and Sprint can get their heads out of their asses when it comes to the poor battery life introduced with the PD3 update.

And got a bootloop on the PB5 firmware too. I'm assuming it's a corrupted upload.

The AP, CP, CSC files all flash fine, the BL will not. And you may get bootloops. I haven't seen anyone other than the original uploader get it to boot up properly.

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?

If you're on ARF4, Venom has update zips to hop to ARF4 to ARF5 to ARF8 then ARG2. It doesn't take as long as it seems. About 10-15 minutes per hop.

The ATT devices wipe when you use the OTA files. I don't want to wipe, which is why I asked if Odin files were available.
ARG2 is also v3 bootloader. I jumped to the 2 early and regretted it. I'll wait until one of the carriers officially goes to a v3 bootloader before I jump that gun

How is that so? I thought the build numbers were always sequential hex based numbers that directly correlated to the build date and how new that build is. But its been a while since I have really got into Samsung firmware after a long hiatus from the S3 so I am sure things have changed since those days.

It was really annoying when I cared if they passed safety net. I kept wiping my phone, and had to roll back because my LG Watch needed Google Pay. Now that I have a Gear S3, I don't need Google Pay, but i also don't want to wipe right now. I wiped a few weeks ago, so just wiping to get the July security patch seems a bit silly....

It's ridiculous that CSC forces a wipe on an OTA update. I've been fortunate on that.

Sorry, but I'm in the same boat as you. They said that Unlocked US variant should get the beta but the sign up option in the members app doesn't appear at all for me. So either I missed it somehow or they delayed it for the Unlocked variant.
If I do end up getting access I'll be sure to post it here for others to download.
