Since today (?) the security update for unbranded S7 is available and is containing Android and Samsung security updates. Also some camera improvement is done in this update.
The S7 reports on a manual update that the system is unofficially altered (huh, thats strange :laugh::angel. So it recommends to user Smart Switch on a PC....
Anyone has experience to get the updates on a rooted device?

Yes, I've had a rooted phone and successfully updated it via smart switch. Though you have to re-root your phone after that, I don't consider it as a problem.
With this lats update the camera does not store the photos on the sd card, someone happens?
What is the PDA version?
Confirmed - APEQ does not allow storing photos to the sdcard! WTF!
i have apeq and no problems with sd card and photos
Likewise, no issue storing photos on SD card in latest update.

Has anyone seen a dip in battery life after the latest update? I had superb battery life on APE9 firmware but it's literally plunged off a cliff after this update.
I even did a factory reset but it didn't fix anything.

If you have the issue of writing to SD card, then I couldn't find a way round it without a wipe. On the plus side, my phone is now faster with better battery life after the flash.

If you were already rooted you could flash an oe rom plus firmware only. BUT, if you were on that OTA update you couldn't downgrade to root. At least that's the way I think it works. I'm rooted and on og5. I did read though that with either the 5.1 update or marshmallow update that it requires you to update the bootloader, which means og5 is high as we can go and stay rooted. Unless something has changed.

Agreed, except that you can maintain the OD5 bootloader throughout, and still upgrade ROM further. I think? You keep the OD5 bootloader and only upgrade the ROM?
So, currently we stuck in Super Lollipop 5.0 (og5 will be last one, if next one is 5.1) by verizon's locked bootloader..
Anyone can go further, it really good for all of us.
I will be staying with og5 with bod5 bootloader unless someone comes up with a exploit again to root anything after bod5

Out of curiosity, when you food that what version were you on?
I had downgraded to ncg, plugged my phone into the computer and ran kies. It said I had an update (of course), to android 5.1. I got pretty excited until I read the details. It said it was og5. So kies says og5 is 5.1. Maybe Verizon update manager says same thing.

How can you root PG1?
The rear-facing camera on my AT&T LG G3 D850 (now on Cricket) started acting up a few months ago. It would work for a few seconds, then purple lines would appear and would crash. I could get it to work sometimes for a few pics but then it would crash every time. I tried another camera app. I tried it in safe mode. I uninstalled the camera app and let it reinstall. I did a factory reset. I even ordered a new camera and installed it. None of these have fixed the issue. Now almost every time I open the camera app it just crashes and gives the message "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped." It works for a little bit maybe one out of 50 times I open it. The front-facing camera works fine. I posted on another site and a few people have said they have the same issue but no idea how to fix it. Please help.

If it was rooted doing a factory reset won't reset anything that may have changed during root. If flashing it back to stock doesn't fix it it would be a hardware issue.

As it says. Some have bricked when downgrading from MM. Most have not but some have bricked. So it can brick when downgrading from MM.
But unless you changed something system wise when your rooted it seems you may have a hardware problem somewhere. But if you ever tampered with anything then it could be from that.

I updated and have root and recovery.
Does anyone have the odin stock firmware yet? I also tried to download via Sam Firm app and get the same error. I also talked to Sprint and they basically wont give me the ota as of now.
