I have SM-G920V G920VVRS4CQA3 v6.0.1 and want to prevent v7 OTA upgrade. Can I down grade with root to 5.1, or better yet, root with same v6.0.1, to be able to run a program that won't run on Android v7 working? If yes, can you post how you achieved it? Is there a risk in tripping the KNOX? Thx, tm

Should I OTA update? Software info inside

I suppose it's only been about a couple months since I rolled back to factory, unrooted then rooted again, flashed TWRP and did another Debloat session with this phone so my question is from
5.0.1 Android
Kernel 3.4.0
Build LRX21Y
Soft D850211
Should I bother doing all this again to accept the OTA? Of all the things I've learned about phones I've never learned how to properly evaluate an update so if anyone can point me in the right direction as to maybe some reading material I'd appreciate that too You guys are numero uno.
I don't know of D850211. If you are on 21q, the OTA is 21r and is the patch for stagefright. However it seems some people are having issues with the 21r update so it is really up to you.

Has anyone successfully rooted the T-Mobile 5.1.1 OTA update? When I see things like "You can not downgrade from 5.1.1" I get nervous that T-Mobile may be jumping on the signed bootloader bandwagon like AT&T....so I keep postponing it.

Hey all - I'm rooted and unlocked and for the past two weeks or so my phone has been bugging me to upgrade about every hour or so. I'm on NPJ25.93-14-4 and the new version it wants me to install is NPJ25.93-14.5. Am I OK to take the OTA update? Or should I do it a different way since I'm rooted and unlocked?
MANY thanks, all!

You can't make this ota update since you have a non stock recovery. You need to revert back to stock recovery else the device goes into bootloop. What's your device version XT....?
Gotcha - I wondered as much. Mine is an XT1644 - is there a way for me to get the update so the dumb thing will quit asking me to upgrade? Maybe the June update thread?
Really appreciate it!

Yup, you'll have to reflash/boot TWRP, then flash ElementalX 1.04, then flash SuperSU/magisk/your root manager of choice to get your root access back. You may wish to take a TWRP backup before you flash ElementalX/root to have a backup to fall back to.
Anyone get the September update on the XT1625 Amazon version?
Just got the December security update on the Amazon prime Moto G4 XT1625.
Update version NPJS25.93-14.7-3

Cannot find update.

Hello, I have a galaxy s8+ from att, and i am using it on the att network. G55USQU1AQGL is my baseband version and I am on android version 7.0. Att recently announced the 8.0 oreo update but my phone cannot find it, it says it is up to date. Any help is appreciated.
Per ATT side notes, I think you have to at least be on one of these version to receive the Oreo update;
G955USQS2BQL1*,G955USQS2BRB1

Hi MannySV, I was chatting with the AT&T Advanced Mobile Team. They told me that they are currently halted the Android 8.0 due to some bugs. The new update will be pushed out within 24 hours. My phone didn't receive the previous update, so fingers crossed. I hope this helps!

You are behind a couple of updates. For some reason mine wouldn't find updates either, heres how i fixed it. Go to https://www.att.com/devicehowto/tut...tep_KM1203359?make=Samsung&model=SamsungG955U and find which update you are on, and figure out which comes next, you have to do them in order. Then go to https://samsung.firmware.science and select your model, baseband and the baseband you need to update to, which you can find on the att site. Then just flash via recovery and adb. Beware however, that it erases everything off your phone.

Hi MannySV, I just updated my phone and the current baseband version is: G955USQU2CRB9 (Android 8.0). However, on the AT&T website, it said the latest update is G955USQU2CRC5. Which I believe my current version is the one that AT&T halted. I hope I can update to the latest one after this. Once again. Thank you so much.

Root - May 2020 Security Patch

Hello, everyone, I have the Samsung Galaxy S10e - model no. SM-G970F running the latest May 2020 security patch on Android 10. Would anyone know the best way to root and TWRP recovery it? I am looking for a 100% full-proof way if it is available. Thank you
Доброго времени суток! Посмотрите на 4pda.
Don't update to this ROM if you want to possibly mod your S10e any time because once you go to May 2020 you cannot regress to an earlier ROM.
Mine is a work device so I have updated but there was a warning in the notes that this is a feature.
I guess this is the point where Samsung start locking you out of modding it. Just don't go there if you care about that.

I was already updated to the May 2020 psych before I posted here - so, I can't go backwards anyways. Is there a way to root it, though?
i updated to may 2020 and was rooted with magisk and twrp but am now back to stock as i think samsung has put something in their latest update? !! - had nothing but problems, screen flashing totally unresponsive not sure whether rom was at fault or magisk needs updating ? or maybe twrp dont know but might try and go back to ct9 as that was stable, definitely something not right. update- once your updated no going back! nice samsung! take my freedom while your at it!!
all good now, was a little rusty! rooted once more, I flashed may update with April twrp! didn't realise it(twrp) had to be updated each time, thanks to the xda member who put me right
