How to update to 5.1.1

I have the h950 in the u.s. on att and want to update to official 5.1.1 but not PR. I have tried factory reset and setting date ahead but cannot find anything newer than its 5.0.1

If you are an ATT user then call Customer Support and live with all att spyware and the anti rollback
If you want to be happy flash the PR edition

Kingroot

I just added this cause i was curious as to if anybody has tried using Kingroot or kingoroot to see if they worked. I know ive seen some shady websites but i dont wanna even try the actual app because this is my personal phone and i dont wanna mess anything up on it.

You will know when there is root

I will say this if everyone emails or requests KingRoot to try and make a method for this phone, I believe we could get their attention and they might bump up its priority.

I havent tried kingroot on my g5, but I did use it to root my old g3. Best part was, since it was rooted I could flash twrp, do a nandroid backup, then install super su and uninstall kingroot.
Ive heard kingroot steals your phone number, but I dont really care, since I bought this phone as my primary wifi device.

There's no root for the Verizon lg g5 and Verizon made it impossible to get root. A good reason to switch to T-Mobile

Nothing is impossible, sure they will try, I hope patient
LG G5 VS987

guys it will never happen and if it does the g5 will be long gone
i assure you im in the same boat with sprint which has a higher chance than verizons to get rooted and its not gonna happen im sorry but we just dont have the technical knowhow to do it rite now
because of lgs encryption on the qfused bootloaders.

It's the carriers boot loader. It's carrier specific! And Verizon's is locked down. I believe it's not impossible. The Verizon's s7 got it unlocked i believe!

They are signed with a 256 bit encryption key if u can figure out the key ure in there. Nougat test for modified everything bl recov system aboot lafs. All have to be verified in nougat. Thats why no root. No hack to replicate the key so all ends in secure boot errors. I have been studying since the release of the g4 and there is no hope. Even on mm

Question on firmware flashing

Can we cross flash a Samsung Gear S2 3G Verizion (R730V) with ATT firmware (R730A)?
Reason I'm asking is because I don't see the latest version of the firmware for Verizon yet but ATT already has theirs.
Looks like ATT firmware can be found at the following site:
http://a2phone.ir/index.php?file=/S...UCU2BPF6_R730AATT2BPF6_USA ATT_4File Firmware

No

Why does it not work. It is the same hardeware, isn't it?
I had the same idea to flash a S2 Sport 3G with the firmware of the S2 classic 3G (vodafone). No chance?

Anyoneknow where I can get metro s7 Odin firmware

I have been having hard time finding stock firmware for metro s7 930t1
(THE LATEST )
The Few the links/posts on here I found from Dropbox or Android file host fail to flash back to metro . Since I flashed to tmobile firmware on day 1.
They were captured by smart switch and claimed to be good Tar files! For metro s7.
I don't know if my baseband on current tmobile firmware is to far ahead to flash back to any of the metro Odin tar files ?
Anyone have links or idea on where I can find it ?
For starters I'm on vzw 7.0 firmware on my 930t Flat ,feel kinda certain I'll have to flash tmobile first in order to flash metros?

i snagged with smart switch G930T1UVS3APD2 and G930T1UVU4APIA, but never bothered with the latest that has the november security patch G930T1UVU4APK1. Does the latest t-mobile firmware work for you?

Yeah I use the latest tmobile...
I think to downgrade you need the earliest compatible bootloader baseband I'm afraid if metros latest isn't available then I can't go back to a certain tmobile firmware in order to downgrade back to metro uvu4apia

It's like metro never released there version of tmobiles latest equal update so by having tmobile latest I can't go back to metros version
Sent from my SM-G930V using XDA-Developers Legacy app

Here is the latest Metro, I can snag it with smart switch if you want. I belive it is just as current as the tmobile one.i have the G930T1UVU4APIA one as well

Is it possible to flash TMO firmware on vzw gs8+?

I know the new odin has userdata flash support, has anyone flashed TMO over vzw gs8p?

I don't think I've heard of anyone flashing user data yet

Has anyone flashed another carrier or unlocked version yet? I did it with the S7, but I haven't seen anything with this phone yet. I would love to flash the unlocked version.

Check the R&D carrier switching thread in the S8 forum.

Thank you
