Hi guys,
Just like other people I have also rooted my Note 3 and flagged/tripped the KNOX counter...
The issue first appeared when I was trying to upgrade from Android OS, v4.3 (Jelly Bean) to v4.4.2 (KitKat). The update notification popped, it took roughly 40 minutes to download the firmware and I was then prompted to install. The device then restarted automatically as usual and I received the "Failure to update" window. I have tried couple of times more in case something went wrong with the download but it didn't help. So I had to install the update manually from SamMobile, using Odin and wiping my phone data. Everything went well and I am now enjoying the KitKat version.
Today it seems a new update appeared around 26 MB and I am facing the same issue. After I download the update and hit install, the device will restart and then show the "Failure to update" window.
Is there any way to fix this? Does it mean I can never install the updates automatically?
Please advise and thanks in advance.

Oke, well you can`t install official updates when you are rooted (modified the system)! I suggest you download Mobile Odin Pro from Play and flash the whole new rom from www.sammobile.com and keep root.

Right, so I can just receive the updates but not install them! that's convenient
Do I have to wipe everything again or just install the latest update? Because if I have to wipe everything each time there's an update, I may just cancel the whole update thing until there's something like a major update

You don`t have to wipe as the updates atm are mostly bugfixes. Only wipe cache and dalvik cache after the flash.

Awesome then! From the description of Mobile ODIN Pro though it says "throw those firmware files on your SD...", where can I get those minor updates in order to download them?

Download the whole rom from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ and follow the instructions of mobile odin. You can`t install OTA`s.

Okay I think I got it, so each time there's an update I must download the whole ROM and flash it on top of the current? Since it's the same, it only updates the files that are needed while keeping the rest of the system intact.

Hey guys,
I need a bit of help here.
For some strange reason I'm unable to install various apps from the play store like Antutu benchmar, AcDisplay or even unable to update The Google app!
I've cleared the cache of the play store and have rebooted the phone but still the same ! What else could I do?
Edit: after another reboot the system optimised itself and the problem is gone! Weird! Anyway is good now, even the screen turns itself off whereas before it wasn't doing it!

The same thing happened just now. I couldn't install an app from the play store. Had to clear data and reboot. It's OK now.
I also find that the battery drains fast. I started the day with 100% and is not even 4pm and it's down to 39%! Nothing like the reviews I've seen saying that the battery should last 2 days!
No doubt that the OS has quite a few bugs.
I'm starting to miss my old Nexus 5 ?
thanks Alberto..

unfortunatey only with adb you can enter in Twrp recovery..
btw it will work for root and backup purpose..

How did you get twrp? When I was looking to flash it, the only info I could find said that you'd need to build it for this phone yourself
A new OTA Update has been released by Ulefone (20160505), it seems to fix all instabilities but i'm not sure. I'll confirm it after some days of testing.
In the meanwhile i recommend you to update your device in order to get as much as possible feedbacks about it.

If they do not release the 20160505 Full ROM then yes, you need to wait an OTA update.

OK, thanks for your help and thank you for this thread and all the support. It's really appreciated! :good:
I wonder if anyone else has received the update?
I'm having lots of problems with this phone and I don't know who to contact to report them so I'm going to list them here in case some of you are suffering the same problems:
* I don't get a 4G signal despite this phone being compatible with band 800Mhz and that's the band my telephone supplier uses.
* The finger print scanner doesn't always work.
* I have to reboot the phone often because I get an error when trying to install apps.
* The battery life is very poor considering its size. I'm unable to get a full day's use with one full charge and I don't play games!
* The screen comes on while the phone is my pocket.
* The phone overheats often for no apparent reason.
* I get a network error when I try to send a feedback using the OTA feedback form.
* Maybe others that I can't remember now.
In summary, I'm a little disappointed and frustrated. . I hope that the update comes quickly and is able to fix some of these problems!
That gives me hopes! Thanks!

In order to download the ROM you have to log in but it doesn't give you an option to sign up either (at least I don't see it)
Would you be kind enough to share the download link please?
Hey guys, so I just found out about this site and am a super noob but managed to Root my ATT S7 last night. I have been trying to install the Xposed framework but it looks like I cant get a custom recovery program onto my S7. Does anyone know how to get TWRP or CWM or any custom recovery onto the 930A? Or for that matter, Xposed install without a custom recovery?

Actually I found out how to do everything and make it pretty smooth. Rooted, with Xposed and a bunch of fixes to make it almost as smooth as stock. Let me know if you are still looking.

Sure, I'll start from the beginning in case any other new people are wondering.
Basically, back up your files and restore your phone to factory so the root goes smoother.
Then proceed to this thread for the root. Oh yeah, install adb if you don't have it. They dont mention it and assume you know what it is, which noobs like me don't.
After a clean root, install Flashfire (you may need to disable samsung updates and reset the phones clock back to 2012 or something if Flashfire doesn't want to start). I used 0.31, maybe the newest will work? Easy to find in google.
On page 8 of the Root thread, there is a dropbox link to the Xposed apk and zip (Here). Move them to your phone and install the apk, then use Flashfire to boot the zip.
I think that's pretty much it, Xposed should be running after the Flashfire reboot (which can take a long time as it will Optimize apps).
psouza4 has an awesome thread on what to do after Root and Xposed to make the phone run smoother.
If you do something wrong and absolutely can't fix it, see here for re-flashing back to stock.
Hope this helps someone, took me about 2 days to search all of this out. The AT&T S7 is such a pain in the ass with it's locked bootloader, but this place is > AT&T!

----------------------------------
Before these steps, make sure USB Debugging is ON & Verify apps via USB is OFF in Developer Options.
Backup your device before making any changes/apply root. I am not responsible for damages.
Clear CACHE using [Volume Up + Home + Power] before this process and applying firmware.
----------------------------------
Stock Firmware
(Not necessary to DL if on current firmware RA1)
Download current firmware using SamFirm
Run .exe as Administrator and use SM-G935P for Model, SPR for region. Check Auto tab then click Check Update.
Once version appears on top right, click download.
Or you can download from HERE
To apply this firmware, use ODIN in download mode and apply BL,AP,CP,CSC (extracted from zip) to each designated slot.
Use HOME_CSC in CSC slot if you want to keep your settings/files.
(Currently uploading latest firmware to my database for a faster DL)
STEP ONE
-Download/Buy Package Disabler Pro + PD Plugin Engine from app store or install apks.
-Open PDP and insert this xml file to disable needed apps for root.
Link > HERE
STEP TWO
-Turn off phone into Download Mode (Volume Down + Home + Power)
-Connect device to PC and open ODIN(Administrator).
Link > HERE
ODIN v3.13 (patched) @realbbb
Link > HERE
-Click (AP) Slot and insert Eng Boot file.

ro.cdma.default_numeric=310120
ro.cdma.default_alpha=Sprint
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Sprint
^--Status Bar String--^
Can be changed to your liking.
(Save build.prop file with permissions Read-Only)
STEP THREE
-Once Device is registered on computer/appears on your drive,
Run root.bat (extracted from SuperSU[2.82]RA1+WiFiCalling.zip)
Link > HERE
-Follow instructions and leave device connected. Don't interrupt process.
DEVICE will reboot once after removal of any previous lockscreen/fingerprints/settings.
Final reboot will occur after installaing SuperSu,Flashfire,& planting su.img into device's system.
All Done!
Thanks for these threads that helped me acquire root for Nougat.

Love the walkthrough style. Thanks for writing this up.
Taking the dive later this week, I have been missing root since moving to QAA. I will try to update over the weekend.
Worked!
Everything worked like a charm. I was already on nougat. followed instructions from step 2 and everything is working. I did have to run root.bat twice to get supersu app to show up, but it was already stated in directions which helped greatly for me not to freak out at that point lol. Anyways as i stated it worked like a charm and anyone on the fence if you rooted before you will be able to do this for sure. Once again thank you very much good sir!
Thanks for the root method I have been waiting for something to come out can't wait to try.
And just a heads up it is frowned upon on XDA to share paid apps.
About to attempt, will post results
How is it running? Smooth? hot?

Im guessing its a package i disabled or didn't disable so it will take a bit to sort out. Its no biggie i might need to reroot. I can still raise the volume if i press volume down and move the slider. This is the only minor problem I've seen.

Power On. It might seem laggy at first but let it load. Check and see if everything is working BT/HotSpot/Voice/MMS. Shouldnt have to edit any APN's or anything.

Okay, but what if there is no data? Then what?
Worked great buddy. No issues here. Runs just as smooth for me as stock did.

If that's the case I would suggest starting over...But just data? Can you call or text? Bluetooth?Hotspot? Is there an LTE symbol in notification bar with no data? Or is it just bars with no service completely? Double check your package disabler.

I imported your XML files for the disabled packages and attempted root. I had an error where it would take a few minutes for an app to update after downloading, do you know how to fix this?

I actually completely restarted the process by reflashing back to stock with the file you linked at the beginning and just followed the process again and got it working this time. Cheers for this tutorial. :good:

Try clearing google play store and google play services cache, if there is little cache then clear data and reenter your gmail. Youre talking about when updating in play store right? If not try only disabling these below instead [from goongydin's thread] and flash engineer. Or manually disabling from list(dont import). But once we disable these apps and flash boot img, these apps aren't supposed to change status which would mean repetitive testing. My honest answer is always going to be try from beginning again.

There you go. Its always the second time isn't it... No problem gj
Hi all,
So I really want to install the beta, but I'm not in one of the participating countried, but I've found the firmware online and I can install it through Odin. I've done this many times to root previous phones, but I don't want to lose the data on my phone after installing. Is there any option to keep the data while installing the firmware in odin?

You need to save any photos and files on your phone, either on the cloud or your PC. With a major OS update like this, if you don't do a factory reset you will have problems. Battery drain, apps force closing, spontaneous reboots.
If you don't want to do a factory reset, then you're better off not upgrading. It's not worth the misery.
FWIW: I've not seen an Oreo beta that can be flashed via Odin. Are you sure it isn't the one in the General section that you install via ADB sideload?

Ah, now I understand. It's not from XDA and it's the Exynos variant.

Thank you for the advice, I guess I'll have to wait for the official launch

Same caveats apply with the official launch....
Has anyone tried the firmware found on the link above?
I believe it`s this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/development/rom-stock-rom-flashable-t3699815
