New OTA update? Just got a notice to install.

My wife's n8013 just got a notice to apply an OTA the tablet just downloaded... It's around 192mb, so my guess is it's just apps.
The machine is rooted, stock.. Anyone know if this breaks anything?

Anyone do the update? My Note 10.1 wifi got an OTA notification as well. Currently on stock 4.1.2. Anyone know consists of this update? My choices are, Later/Install All/Install....curious...but not enough to hit the trigger. :laugh:
This is interesting. Anyone knows what Samsung packed into that update? If you've already rooted, i think it's much safer to wait until the update is added to your favorite custom ROM.
That's kinda the issue, she likes the stock ROM. Maybe I'll pull the update file and look into what's in there tomorrow.

Unfortunately my son thought he was being "helpful" and accepted it.
Minor UI stuff, stuff runs a little smoother, but I haven't seen anything major.
HOWEVER it de-roots you, and none of the usual suspects have worked. I originally rooted using Framaroot, and it does not work. So waiting with baited breath for someone to get around to fixing that problem. :laugh:
I just checked my daughter tab 2 7.0 and its installing 4.2.2 right now.. and apparently thats been out for about a month. I was unaware... kinda stinks that an older tablet has a newer os version

did you try cf autoroot?

AT&T forced update causing S4 to brick themselves.

Apparently there is an update AT&T is forcing that is causing massive amounts of phones to crash with a "No Sim Card Found, Restarting..." error message. Then you get "Emergency Calls Only".
I was told this by the in store warranty department at AT&T today when there were several people in front and behind me with the exact same issues. I reflashed, rebooted, got a new SIM card...nothing! Still here now with a phone that wont make or receive calls waiting for a new one.
The only fix AT&T is aware of? Get a replacement!
What update? Post a screen shot of your "About device".
Good luck with the replacement device.

That is for the international S4 9505. iB4 has built a ROM on that update for the i337/m.
Sent from my SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
My S4 automatically updated itself and removed my root access. I'm on NC1 and so far, its not that bad. Battery life did improve, but I don't like how the battery bar is white instead of green. At one time, my phone did the Emergency Call Only. But after I reset the phone, everything went back to normal.
I miss having a rooted phone lol.
My phone does the "no sim card found, restart" a few times a week...but its usually gone after the restart, occasionally ot takes a couple restarts...I am currently on nc1, however I have been experiencing this issue before I was even on kitkat

Will I be able to Re-Root?
I've delayed the update. If I am currently rooted, will I be able to re-root after this update?
Currently, I have:
Samsung S4 SGH-I337 (AT&T)
Android Version: 4.3
(more version details in attached screenshot)

You'd have to downgrade. It's easier to flash the 4.4 keeproot OTAs, the nb1 and then nc1, or even just a 4.4.2 custom ROM.

I could only delay the so many time that it finally upgraded this afternoon. I lost my root.
The only reason that I root is simply to be able to tether. I'm not interested in custom ROMs, etc. So, in my situation, is there a more direct (simpler) method to get me back to tethering on 4.4.2?
Thanks in advance!

You still need to do the downgrade, but you can flash a the stock ROM with root and tether once you do. No way around the downgrade to root yet.

Thanks. Can you point me to where I would find some detailed instructions?
I finally traded in my unlimited data plan for the 10gb family plan because it's cheaper and they allow tethering with it.

Im aware its a hardware issue, I was just stating my experience as the op claimed it was a new update that caused it, although that is perfectly understandable as he states the service rep stated this was the issue...but how often do those service reps reall know what they are talking about lol.
As far as taking it to a store...I have spilled water on the table my phone was on...and now my water indicators are pink, so I havent taken it in cause I figured they would deny me due to water damage even tho the problem existed long before that happened

i had this update 2 days ago for me~ it forced updated/ restarted my phone and TRIED to update but FAILED
i 100% thought my phone was gona brick or boot loop and what not but it restarted fine !
I am getting the update as well now. I have delayed it but I need root and have unlocked the phone. 4.3 mk2. But I use mdl modem to access service mode.
Can I just freeze the files to prevent the update from happening?

Bootloader/Modem?

Hi Guys,
I have been using the Galaxy S6 for a while now and have been flashing many different custom ROMs.
I have neber manually flashed an updated bootloader/modem and everything seems to be working fine. I was wondering if anyone could explain to me what these 2 things actually do, what the advantages are of updating them, and any dangers of not doing it as I have been so far?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Anyone?

Yea, trying it right now. The installer zip is for 5.1.1. I can't get it to work so I think we're SOL for now.
Ok~ thanks
Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
Maybe one of our devs can figure it out...it may just have something to do with Flashfire. Fingers crossed for getting it to work on the Verizon S6!
Not even the latest version of xposed working on this model? Geesh... Does TWRP even exist yet for the G920V? If I could back up I'd try it.

No, since we don't have root for 5.1.1. And no twrp either

Thanks for catching me up to speed. I recently got an s6 I'm on 5.0.2 with pong root. Wondering if this still won't work?
This is for TW 5.1.1. and will not work on 5.02. We need to pray someone comes up with a root method for 5.1.1 or they get exposed working on 5.0.x. The later seems unlikely and we can holy hope they figure out root on 5.1.1 for Verizon. Love this phone but the development limitations are a real bummer.

Ya, I posted this thread right after he released the first beta...he hadn't put the requirement of 5.1.1 in the OP at that point so I was bummed once I realized that.
Let's cross our fingers for root on 5.1.1 I'm really surprised about the lack of developing options for this model. Must be locked down pretty good

Ummmm what do you expect with a locked bootloader?
Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
We've had locked bootloaders since the S3. We've managed to get root and Xposed on many devices. The S6 is a beast of a device, I'm surprised there isn't more work put into it. Because honestly, root is virtually useless right now. I am on rooted oc3, running Rick's ROM, and have a battery booster. That's bout all you can do. Root explorers are nice, if you have a reason. I am hoping for a break through. Patience is a virtue.

Noob to Samsung root... Guide me?

Hi guys, I've had more S6 since it came out but broke it shortly after rooting it. I can't remember how I rooted it or what I did but I got it fixed finally so want to use it again but it needs updated bad. How do I update it while keeping root? It's software version is OJ7 haha
Thanks!
