Hello,
Is it possible to use firmware finder app to update to another base version so I can get nougat? Another thread says you can't thus far with present options because you need a "Full" and not "OTA" or "FullOTA". I'm requesting a series of steps to follow (links as well if possible) to update out of this firmware and get a better stock ROM.
Thanks

Hi all
A week ago a rooted my Samsung Galaxy S6 device following this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/root-pingpongroot-s6-root-tool-t3103016
All was OK. At that point my device is using the Android Version: 5.0.2
The question I have is that now the version 5.1.1 (Lillipop) has been released, I would like to know if my rooted device can still be upgrading when the new version is released in my region (Mexico) by the phone provider. (Telcel). In case it cannot be updated automatically, I guess I will need to do it manually or unroot my device. In that scenario, Does someone know a good tutorial how to do that?
Regards!
@LesthadMK, sure you can update rooted devices. But it may not be possible via OTA update. You will have to download the full firmware and install it manually.
Because root makes changes to system partition, OTA fails when you have rooted. If you unroot and flash stock recovery and kernel back, then OTA may work. Otherwise, simply flash the full firmware, in .tar format using Odin software, and you're good.
It's good to have full firmware saved on PC anyway, as if in case you brick your device, you can fix it by installing your device's firmware manually.
If you need help with 5.1.1 firmware installation on your s6, let me know the build no. of your device.. I will guide you to page you need to look at.
Thanks for the help. I have download Odin in case I need to do it manually.
Also, mentioned that yesterday I read an article saying that using the Samsung software "Smart Switch" in an rooted device will upgrade the device to the newest version (which I don't know if it it's true or not) Any way this is the link I found:.... Well seems since I'm newby I cannot post some external links. So just google it as: How to Use Smart Switch to Update Your Galaxy S6—Even It's Rooted.
By other hand, this is the build number for my device: G920IDVU1AOE3, so if you can help me to know how to upgrade that version that would be very helpful
Regards!
I just took delivery on a SM_P905V, what a beautiful piece of equipment.
It was used in is loaded with Android 4.2.2. When I go to update software, it says its unavailable.
How do I get an OTA update?
Edit: Samsung site had the OT1 Lollypop 5.0.1. Now I wonder if they will update to Marshmellow?
Running great; and I couldn''t be much happier.
I suggest you use 'odin method' because its really fast but if you are not experienced with that method then I suggest you use samsung kies3 software on windows to update it. As for ota method, It varies region to region if new software isn't released in your region then use these alternative methods. Thank you , hope it helps
Hm, latest version for the P905V is P905VVRUBOH1/P905VVZWBOH1
Was it a new device or used?
You can use ODIN to flash the latest firmware manually. You can grab the newest firmware version to flash off Sammobile.
Hi at all,
I rooted my S6 successfully with CF-Auto-Root by chainfire. I am now not able to do an OTA-update within the OS, so I think I have to flash updates of stock roms by downloading it from sammobile.com and flash it via ODIN. When I follow the last advices given in some threads I have to go to http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?r=&v=&q=sm-g920f and look for the latest firmware released by samsung. But how do I know which one the correct one is? The version always begins with G920FXX followed by U3 or S3. Can anyone tell me the "syntax" of the meaning of the firmware version or the deifference between these two version-trees? Do I have to choose the german version if I bought a german phone, or does it not depend on that?
Again my question in a short way: How can I update OS/firmware after rooting the S6?
Thanx-a-lot for your hints and ideas!
Regards
Clemens
Flash latest update of stock your varient and country
Hi Folks,
Seeing around various section of all the models when users are struggling to restore their phone either due the flashing an incorrect firmware or after updating via Firmware Finder app and then wanting to rollback to earlier version of EMUI. They sometime cannot even flash the custom ROMs due to FRP lock or unable to flash the custom recovery and even after trying all the known methods, we struggle to restore their phone as they messed up badly with their phone and model or version change to something unexpected.
In this thread, lets discuss and share about rollback files available for various models (be it MM, Lollipop anything) so that new users could use it to restore to their original version and then update to official versions.

There are updates to Oreo for model FRD-L09C432 (B562, actually). You can find it with Firmware Finder by Team-MT. Just do a forum search for instructions. There are several install guides.
Which way you install the update depends on your situation. Is the official way not working for you? I suggest you try it with HiSuite and update via USB cable. It's the easiest and safest way.
As I had unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed I used HuRUpdater using this guide and it worked well (even if it's already released - it doesn't matter - you only need to choose correct firmware; model / region / version: FRD-L09/C432/B562)
