Sorry but doing the casual on my Verizon S3 4.1.2 @F1
I did step 1 and 2 and checked supersu as it said to update binary.. Not sure how to update. I've seen the same question many times without an answer. I haven't went any further and I'm still hooked up.. so I guess I am rooted now and unlocked, as I have supersu and titanium backup (root) but I haven't installed one of the 2 recoveries.
I'm not sure how to proceed. I just want to stay at 4.1.2 so I can keep my phone as a hotspot and keep apps on sd car, but I am afraid I might get forced into taking 4.3. It happened on an earlier update when My phone rebooted even though I had checked no updates.
For what I want, I don't know which recovery I should take or which custom ROM. I need good signal strength, stability, to be able to leave my options open, and Tethering ... I have a cabin where I have to use a cell phone amp. to just get a marginal signal. and no Wi-Fi there so want to be able to tether to my wi-fi only tablet.
suggestions appreciated!
Thanks

I just did this to I installed EZ-unlock to unlock the bootloader and then GooManager to put TWRP on for the newest ver. stayed stock for a week now I on Hyperdrive RLS16 .
Google EZ-unlock to find the apk GooManager is in the play store hope that help
Got a notification this morning that there was a new update available for KitKat. I do not know what the update is as I postponed it. I am currently running KitKat 4.4.2 Kernel version 3.4.0. The build is D80020c. I am rooted. I have no other information except that it shows that an update is pending but it will not tell me what the update is and I do not know where to find out what it is.
Anyone have any ideas as to what this is? I am concerned because the last time an update rolled out, it soft bricked my rooted phone.
I spoke with tech support at AT&T and they claim that they do not know what it is and suggested that I call LG for an answer.....

Don't install it, it jacked up my phone. I was running the rooted mixed partition D80020c and I can't boot or get into download mode now. All I get it a constant reboot back to recovery. Cannot install another ROM, cannot restore a backup. My daughter was playing with my phone and pushed to continue with the install and now I'm trying to unscrew it.

Is there any way to force a not install or deny it? The only option I have is to postpone the install and after 4 hours, it will run again and continue to run every 4 hours unless I find a way to break the cycle. How do I force a no install option?
That is what happened to me last time with the "q" update. I postponed the install (no option to not take it) and it installed itself after 4 hours when I left my phone on one night. I woke up to a bricked phone.....

I don't know how to permanently disable the update, but I'm sure there's a way. As info, I was able to easily fix my phone with the help of this thread posted by @thecubed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696. I didn't read it all, but this might be what disables the update.
I'm not rooted. I took the latest update and all is fine. It's google+ fixes and Google wallet support. It actually let me set up tap & pay! I'll have to go somewhere to try it out.

I got the notification too but figured that it would probably screw things up since I'm rooted and running TWRP so I did a little searching and came across this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50454408&postcount=3 . It's been a few hours since I changed the setting and haven't seen the update notification again although AT&T pushed the update into CACHE/FOTA sometime this morning.
Well scratch that, the notification just came back. I'll try freezing it now.
Well if rooted just use TB to freeze software update. I am also running a mixed partition D80020c. I am on Straight Talk AT&T. Before rooting I tried taking the official OTA of KitKat but for some reason you can't enter an APN type so I couldn't get or send MMS. So I flashed back to the D firmware,rooted,added custom recovery,entered the APN type and then flashed the modified C firmware. You could also use Root Freezer instead of Titanium Backup to freeze
The OTA update showed up this morning. I chose to delay it because I was going to need my phone. Went to update it later and it just would not download. Did a factory reset and now when I go to system updates it says "checking for available update." for about a minute then says "check for update is not available at this time. Try again later." What am I missing here?

there have been quite a few people with this same issue. i havent seen any direct fix.
if you are locked, i would suggest you wait it out, or wait for the sbf file to get leaked. there is a way to sideload it, but its risky being locked and no sbf to save you if a problem comes up.
if you are unlocked, there are directions in the General forum to sideload the ota. there is no risk if you are unlocked.
if you are locked, the only thing i would suggest to try is re-flashing the stock 9.30.1 with rsd and see if it will pull the update afterwards. there is no guarantee this will work, but your phone will be 100% clean stock after the flash and give you the best chance to grab the ota if available.

Did you download it and then said to apply it later? If so, are you rooted? If so, hook up your phone to your PC and adb shell into it. Type "su" and hit enter to go into superuser mode.
Navigate to the /cache directory and you should see the OTA .zip file sitting in there. Copy it to your external SD card and then you can load it manually via the recovery.
If you're not rooted, then you won't be able to navigate into the /cache directory. Or, if you didn't have it download when you got the notice (or couldn't download it), then it won't be there.
More update issues
My wife & son both have the HD. My wife checked for the update this morning, said it was ready and proceeded to download. Update did as it was supposed to and when it was done, she had KitKat and that's when things went a bit wonky.
If she has Bluetooth turned on, WiFi connection drops after a few minutes. She googled possible workarounds and none really worked. As long as she is not using BT, WiFi stays up
Has anyone else seen this behavior? She refuses to let me root it and install a custom ROM as I have done on my Samsung GS4 from VZW.
In the mean time, we've told our son not to take the update until
we know more about a possible fix.

Android V 4.1.2 worked flawlessly since Nov 1023 upgrade. Decided to upgrade to KitKat via OTH. Had WIFI connection issues right away ( inability to obtain IP or lost connection, etc.) This happened with Bluetooth ON or OFF, no difference. The Signal strength was much lower than when on the previous android version and subsequent indicated connection speed was at least 1/2 of what I was getting previously.
Worked with Verizon and Motorola tech support personnel and did multiple factory resets with no improvement.
Since I wanted a factory solution and had insurance on the phone, I ordered a replacement phone. Thankfully, the new phone had 4.1.2 and worked perfectly. WIFI issues are gone.
Conclusion, KitKat is not ready for prime time yet. WIFI bug needs to be worked out before I will upgrade again.

That's a shame because for me, the FDR fixed the Wifi/Blue-tooth issue as it did for many others. Might have been a hardware issue (faulty radio, etc).
I' m hoping some experts can chime in.
I rooted PK1 about 10 days ago. Followed the Verizon S7 forum that had clear instructions, and used the v15 fixes + debloater.
I made sure the governors were set to interactive.
Despite all this, my phone was extra buggy and had lag, compared to stock. It seemed to get worse with time.
Then on day 6, after root, my phone started boot-looping on the tmobile logo and vibrated.
I un-rooted back to PIA, and tmobile still seems to be monitoring hotspot use, I thought was part of the PK1 OTA.
So, my questions are:
1) are those rooted on PK1 stable, like stock? OR is there still stability issues, beyond adjusting the governors to interactive?
2) what are people using to successfully circumvent tmobiles new hotspot throttle. ( .5kbs or pay $25 per month).
xtether module in xposed, or WiFi Tether Router (root). ??
what is working?
thanks in advance !
I'm not on the PK1 firmware yet, but I just upgraded from PG1 to PIA.
As far as performance goes, I found this thread VERY helpful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...uide-fine-tuning-performance-battery-t3417804
Maybe it will serve well for you as well. As far as rooting is concerned, not too sure from personal experience, but I heard the ENG boot works with the newest firmware and I'm guessing the modified SU should work for it too.
If you would like to try reverse engineering the files yourself, maybe these guides will help out:

In regards to removing bloatware, I prefer removing apps over services because you never know when you might need a service that you accidentally removed from a previous time. Also I've been going through many cases of trial & error with removing bloatware and a few times ended up messing up other apps in the process that would force crash, but with my current setup everything seems to be working well.
If you need help with removing bloatware, there are 3 apps that really helped me out.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.piriform.ccleaner <-- Surprisingly ccleaner is awesome for the android as well as the PC.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp&hl=en <-- this is very useful as well
Another tool I found very great and you run this from your computer is Debloater: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294
Hope this helps. I'm trying to currently work on a way of creating custom odin flashable roms so I can optimize roms to the best of my ability and provide the community with more options as well. This is still a work in progress though. :S
EDIT:
Here is an output of my program list. It was too long for me to post directly in the message
adb shell pm list packages -f
thanks a lot!
I have read about ENG boot being an improvement as well, yet nobody is stating that it is stable as it is prior to root, just improved lag, performance and stability. I know in my experience, root, for the first time in 8 years of rooting is not worth the benefits. This is sad. Must be stable. (in addition -no roms, no nanroids, no samsung Sumsung Pay..etc..etc..) So I'm hopeful things will change soon, or will be forced away from Samsung. Tmobile privacy invasion issue, and bait-and-switch with their plans is even further less encouraging news. Imagine "unlimited" = less.... wow.
Well said, and I completely agree. I've been a BIG fan of previous Samsung models, but it seems with every new model that comes out there are less and less options for customizations. I'm currently in the process of trying to figure out how to repack tar.md5 files *properly*.
I've gotten close, but then it fails right at the very end. I'm still waiting for a response from someone hopefully with more knowledge than I, but I guess I have to be patient. Here was my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s7/help/creating-flashable-odin-file-t3500139
Any way, I'd love to see more customization for the S7. I think it's a great phone and it has so much potential. I also love android and always felt it gave users more ability for customization as opposed to Apple. Like you, I just hate all the bloat ware and all the crap that comes on phones these days. Not only that but the markup price is ridicules. Having to pay $600+ for a phone that is "laggy" due to all the bloat on it is frustrating to say the least. This is why I'm trying to give the community more options or at least steer them in a direction to customize their devices easier. Currently despite all the various amounts of software that is provided through this community I feel like there aren't too many people that know how to properly use it.
Any who, good luck with your phone. Let us know if you figure anything out with it. Also, are there any significant advantages with the newest firmware over the PIA? I usually like to hold off from upgrading right away so that all the "kinks" get worked out first since it's difficult to downgrade afterwards.

I was rooted stock and I used the fixes.zip , I stopped using the debloater because my phone had issues after.
Its bootlooping because you accepted the security update popup.
You know what, that happened to me once, I forgot. What I needed to do is reflash the ENG boot file then when I got back into the phone, remove and reinstall SU. After your phone restarts, go into playstore --> you apps --> and uncheck "Auto Update" for Super User.

yes. If your using the firmware in the verizon rooting forum, that stumped me too. It doesn't work.
Must be PIA (sept 27) or newer. I got the firmware from here The sammobile site.
and flashed fine with odin. Then used the established root method from the Verizon forum, using only the V15 fixes and NOT the bloatware remover.
Still testing the root stability (2 days driving). Seems ok, but not as stable as stock so far, but acceptable for me. Cool, no battery drain, but have noticed some lag/ and buggy things that I'm deciding whether or not was a settling that was not apparent on stock w/o root.
In addition, when I was given this loaner phone from the N7, the store migrated all my data and apps using the built in sammy prog. I was concerned how this would affect my phones performance in the long run. 3 "upgrades"/ swaps later of the same technique of migrating apps/settings/data between different phones took it toll. So the bootloop issue earlier forced me to unroot and start fresh, without a choice.... The proper PIA flashed on my device (no root of course) was rock-sold stable for the few days I tried it.

Thanks for the response. I have a SM-G930T and the firmware I am running currently is the " G930TUVU4APIA" stock. I just am using the ENG boot file and removed a bunch of apps myself (not using the v15 debloater or fix). Any way, the PIA firmware is still a little sluggish for me, and I was thinking of going back to "G930TUVU3APG1", but every time I try to flash it through ODIN I get an error. Something similar to "SW. REV CHECK FAIL : FUSED : 4, BINARY : 3".
And I didn't think that a verizon firmware would work on a tmboile phone? They're completely different hardware? Like GSM vs CDMA? Or am I missing something?

NO you need the Tmobile files, available in links here, or better from the sammobile.com site i mentioned above.
I would never flash verizon firmware on a tmobile-connected phone.
In addition, are you following the verison unroot method from the verizon s7 rooting guide? the verizon root references for me were just where the best info is for all S7 people, but the software links are to older firmware that didnt work...
Basically, you are using odin to flash ALL files at once (ie AP, BL, CP, CPC), then you are back at tmobile stock as per date of package used (PIA, PG1..etc).
Earlier versions before PIA do not flash, for me. I believe this is b/c i took an OTA security update that did something to prevent this. PIA worked fine for me, and is working not bad.
I'm satisfied for now, and I will wait for stable Nougat before anything else, and done with customizing and playing.
I hope this helps you

I typically only use between 1GB and 2GB per month of data. However, this month I was notified that I had exceeded my 4GB limit. I increased the limit to 7GB and within 4 days that was exceeded. I've now shut off all cellular data. When I look in Settings > Data Usage > Cellular Data Usage it shows 7.25GB of data used by Android OS. If I tap on Android OS it lists a bunch of apps like com.qti.service.colorservice and com.quicinc.cne.CNEService.CNEServiceApp. I don't know if this list is sorted by which service/app used the most data and there's no more detail I can attain by tapping on the apps listed under Android OS.
Since I have dates and times for some of the largest downloads (868MB on March 27, 12:57AM for example), is there somewhere in the file system where I can see a list of IP addresses connected to and their timestamps to perhaps narrow down who/what is sucking up all my data?
Is there a more thorough way of wiping the phone than a factory reset?
Anybody seen this before and have any suggestions?

I did root it. Then I found out I couldn't get OTA updates anymore. I side loaded the 7.1.1 Sailfish update, build NOF26W. I'm not sure if a new update has since released. After side loading the update I lost root and was unable to get it back.
Months ago, when I first rooted the phone I had the same problem where the OS would continually download the OTA update, fail installation and re-download it. At the time I stopped it through rooting and disabling the update service directly. When I lost root after sideloading the OTA update I figured it wasn't a big deal since I could turn off updates in the Developer Options.
So you're saying the turn off updates option doesn't work?

It does not work for everyone. Seen it a fair amount, you are the second one today. The other is over in the XL forum.
There is a new update every month. First Monday of the month is when they are released. You are one behind and a new one will be out in two days.

Google wants me to RMA the phone. Not sure how that's going to help though since it's a software problem.
I'm having the same issue. But I have one month 80 gig download this month I'm already at 35 gigs. I was rooted at one point wanted my updates so I updated root is gone but everything works fine but ever since then I have been getting these massive download constantly either on Wi-Fi or cellular I turned off so many things that is not funny backup everything and it's still happening hits exactly the same as the person that first created this thread.

If you're seeing gigs of data usage attributed to Android OS then it's likely repeatedly downloading OS updates that are failing installation. That's what happened to me.
You are correct I tried to download my update and it errored out when installing step 2 then redownloaded so in developer I turned off automatically download updates which I don't think it will help as I turned this off before I reset my room so I think it's stuck just redownloading. Have you figured out why our download is failing? Does it have to do with root that we removed?

You are correct I tried to download my update and it errored out when installing step 2 then redownloaded so in developer I turned off automatically download updates which I don't think it will help as I turned this off before I reset my room so I think it's stuck just redownloading.

Removing root isn't enough. I couldn't get updates to work until I installed a factory stock image and relocked the bootloader.
As far as I know there are 3 options.
1.) Root, block updates and never update
2.) Root, block updates, side load your updates and re-root each time to re-block updates
3.) Run stock, unrooted with locked bootloader and take automatic updates

You modded something while rooted that it doesnt like, or root is not completely removed. You need to flash the update yourself.

im unlocked, no root, no twrp (verizon edition)
and i take OTA all the time...
I think root and twrp kills ota, not bootloader unlocking......
just an fyi
I think root does also because it's worked fine when I first unlocked bootloader. Also I reinstalled stock room and still can't get it's it has to be what root does to phone
Did you try disable the Automatic System Updates from the Developer Options?
High Data Use by com.quicinc.cne.CNEService.CNEServiceApp
I ran into this issue too after traveling (driving) several days on a rooted Pixel XL (with TWRP and a custom kernel), which at the time was a month behind (running NKG47L, the June OTA for "T-Mobile, Fi carriers, and Rogers").
When I got back from the trip I noticed the phone had used much more data than expected, something along the lines of 75MB per hour (almost a GB a day) -- when all that had been done with the phone (that would use data) was use navigation. Further digging showed the data use was attributed to a process named com.quicinc.cne.CNEService.CNEServiceApp, and some Googling turned up threads that mentioned QualComm and/or T-Mobile and/or Google FI cellular service, but not many examples of how people actually fixed it.
In my case it was fixed (without losing data/apps), by manually updating to the latest OTA (with this approach), and then re-rooting. But I should also mention I switched from the "T-Mobile, Fi carriers, and Rogers" series (which for July would be NKG47M), to the generic Pixel XL series (NJH47D for July).
My suspicion is the phone was downloading the July OTA with cellular data, then tried to apply it (which failed either because the phone was rooted, or had TWRP, and/or had a custom kernel), and was then repeating that sequence every hour.
So, at least in my case, the moral of the story seems to be... If you're rooted and/or running a custom recovery/kernel, make sure you're on the current OTA before spending a lot of time away from recognized WiFi until Google fixes this! Or, as mentioned in an earlier post, have "Automatic system updates" disabled in Developer Options.
com.quicinc.cne.CNEService.CNEServiceApp and com.qti.service.colorservice are backdoor trojans (they have a few other names but all belong to the same group) to access and monitor your device. You need to check to see if it establishes any strange background connections. Please don't ask me how I know but I feel that I have the responsibility to warn everyone.
