I have an S7 with an S8 port ROM and was wondering if you can update it to the latest firmware version. If so how do I update it?
No OTA with custom
Flash stock if you want OTA

Is there any way to change an ota update into a flashable rom for twrp? I have downloaded the updat and pulled it from my phone.
So recently, i decided to try and update my rooted custom rom galaxy s5. But i don't want to update to 6.0.1 because rooting won't work for my device model and so i would only like to update to 5.1.1. I cant update it through the phone settings because my firmware/rom was modified. I don't want to flash any stock firmware/rom on my device either because then, i wouldn't be able to update my device through the settings in the future. So what would you guys recommended i do?
Correct me if i am wrong. But if i update my firmware through kies right now, it will use the latest 6.0.1 firmware instead of 5.1.1.
Motorola has released new OTA update of 371.4 MB in India.
I read that since I am a rooted user I must not try to flash this update.
I would like the help from xda to install these updates. Should I install stock firmware 6.0.1 first?
Two ways to do it
1. Flash stock ROM 6.0from factory firmware link. Allow ota to download and phone should upgrade to 6.0.1
2. Flash the 6.0.1 stock ROM which is made available in factory firmware link. -Update: 6.0.1 is already the updated system with the new ota of 371mb.
Option 2 is more convenient.
While upgrading to mm 6.0 via ota, on my rooted phone I had tried flashing the stock recovery and cleaning the root. but it did not help and I landed with a soft bootloop. The ota checks for the original fingerprint of the stock system which is why you need to be on stock firmware for the ota update method.
You need stock recovery and stock firmware.

everything's good. Flashed twrp, rooted and running xposed.
I have a Galaxy S5 and it's on 5.0.1 Stock not rooted or Custom recovery. I want to install Blisspop 6.0.1. How would I go about doing this? Is it ok to install the 6.0.1 OTA and still be able to root and install custom recovery?
Edit: Ended up just OTA. Mod delete thread please??
It's probably easiest to update OTA, since it will preserve your apps, data, & settings. I wrote a step-by-step tutorial on how to update OTA to 6.0.1, install a custom recovery, and root. Here you go...

I believe blisspop is still based on 5 firmware. If you update you'll just have to go back to OK4 firmware to run it.
my device is currently rooted and i just recieved an update from samsung. i am using a super kernel v1.4 and i would like to update to the lastest version which requires this update from samsung. can i update my device ota or must i download the firmware from sammobile and reflash everything then install everything else again. if i am able to update the phonr ota can i also just flash the new kernel to replace the old one? i want a clean install.
OTA won't work on a custom device (Rooted / Kernel / Recovery), I'm surprised you even got the notification for an update tbh
You'll have to update manually when the firmware arrives as a flashable ROM
