So as title says any luck with rooting the lollipop update yet? I updated without thinking and now I am stuck without root
from my understanding, you can still root with the Chainfire, battery pull method as long as you do the OTA or stock Loly update first.

Root and Lollipop are working fine on many devices. Also your question is pretty much meaningless without a model number. Each carrier's phone is different.
Yeah sorry I figured since I posted in this forum it was self explanatory don't mean to sound rude but yeah sprint note edge haven't had any luck rooting after lollipop update did official update as well thanks

What version of TWRP are you flashing? I have not needed to wait one minute or perform any other fancy steps. I just flash TWRP immediately after CF-auto-root.

He has specified already that it is a Sprint Note Edge (SM-N915P)
2.8.01 i think ill have to check when i get home later on.
No root here, on ATT model.
Probably we're not gonna get any further since the popularity of this certain device is quite low.
It feels like only a handful of us have this device LOL!
Lol yeah sometimes i feel that way as well.

AT&T models have a locked bootloader. That's an entirely different issue.
I Have H950 G Flex2, But i didnt get android 5.1.1 , i love this phone even it get hot somethimes, its good for me.
I want to know if maybe someone can help me to update to 5.1.1 because i dont have ota Update avalible and if is possible, try a stock or international room of 5.1.1 for the H950 Because att have a lot of bloatware.
Thanks all!
Yes
The various threads around here are quite helpful. If you're rooted, you're going to have to go back to stock. The OTA update should then kick in.
There's a thread over in the Android Development Section (It's at the top) that is exactly what you're looking for.
So, yes there are certainly methods by which you can update to 5.1.1!

This is a detailed tutorial on how to return your phone to stock. You'll end up with a data wipe, so make sure to back up anything you want to keep. You'll want to do this first. Nothing should go wrong (no guarantees though, as always), just make sure you pick up the H950 version of the system file (and put this in the root directory of your internal storage, and rename it to "system.img" if isn't already.)
Easy Restore/Recovery/Unbrick Tool for LG G Flex 2
You'll reboot to your bloated stock system, and you should be able to get the OTA update. If you come across the "Please wait 24 hours and try again" message, just go manually set your date and time ahead, that should get it working.
Then you'll want to use this link to update to flash a 5.1.1 (rooted) system file (similar to the way you did it before).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/development/root-easy-root-att-flex-2-5-1-1-t3178354
After a great deal of tediousness, you can install Titanium Backup and remove all of the bloatware. Obviously, be cautious, you might break things (and then you'll need to factory reset, yet again). In the near future I'll post a thread of all the bloatware I removed without any issue.
EDIT: I've created a freezable bloatware list for those of you unsure what's safe and what's not. The thread is here:
Ti Backup Bloatware Freeze List
Once you're done with that, if you're brave enough, you can install the XPosed framework (even though the bootloader is locked) using this link:
XPosed G Flex 2
The process is a bit sketchy, the extended periods of black screen are a bit foreboding, but it worked like a charm.
I am also in the same boat. Not receiving OTA, tried factory reset and date+1 doesn't work
Has anyone outside the US or AT&T network been able to update? Perhaps it works with a VPN? I haven't been able to update my brand new phone with zero modifications.
Im outside US, and i haven't got the OTA, i been trying changing the date and factory reset every now and then...
I will try a VPN and see how it goes.
Yes
When I returned to stock 5.0.1 I got the ATT OTA update. I'm in the US.
I don't claim to know the intricacies of flashing, but there are H950 5.1.1 system images floating around these boards. Could you flash one of those while on stock 5.0.1? I'm not sure. We do have an unbrick tool though so you'd probably be able to recover.
Let me know if anyone skips the part where they let the phone update itself, and go straight to flashing 5.1.1.
I just bought this phone brand new in the box because I heard the update was out on ATT, not for me I guess.
If you're already on 5.1.1 and you try to recover with the 5.0.1 image you will brick your phone.
As far as receiving the update notification on the AT&T version, I had to change the date forward a few days. I would check for updates after each date change and eventually got the notification. If that doesn't work, do a factory reset and try again.

Sounds like a direct flash upgrade is a no go then. I also set my device forward a few days (like a week) to get the update.
I Just ordered this phone and will be using it on cricket wireless, does anyone know if I'll need an active at&t sim card to get the 5.1.1 update or will I be able to get the update with my cricket wireless sim card?
Nope
Using a Straight Talk SIM myself and I got the OTA update just fine.

Yes, went from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1
I used the method above of changing the date a month forward.. It went from saying up to date to giving me the ota
I hope the update isn't crop because I don't know much of rooting and roming. Hoping to learn stuff here as xda is full of some smart folks.

Got myself in a bind. Bought a new Note 5 today to upgrade to 64GB. Forgot to OEM unlock, and the phone is bricked for the moment. The new image N920TUVU3DPG1 isn't available to download yet. Any suggestions, or does anyone know where the new image can be found yet? What a rookie mistake! Smart Switch in emergency recovery tries to flash N920TUVU2DPD1 and fails. Downgrading doesn't work either.
same here. where can we get it from?

Just downgrade to an older version via Odin if possible. It can be done on Verizon so I don't see why not on yours.

I tried the previous version while in download mode using Odin. Loaded the stock rom in the AP slot and started it then it failed pretty quick. The com shows connected before I hit start but it still fails.

You have to make sure you have the correct firmware! You should be able to see which one is already on the phone while in recovery mode.

Hope u fixed ur problem, I'm still on Note 4, was waiting for u to fix the new firmware for us last month, and now we just got another one, so shocked Samsung is actually taking care of the Note 4 N910T,
My rom boots up, but can't see sim card, external storage, wifi doesn't connect and so forth, I guess they did something with the new MM that @dsixda kitchen doesn't work correctly somewhere anymore,
need to learn Ubuntu, not easy with no help,,, I made an external drive with 16.04 but need to java development and figure the rest out, not easy with 2 kids.. and wifey..
and u r also in FL, by the way thanks for the updater script for the past v5.1.1 roms we had...
Samsung keeps raising prices on these phones, ridiculous no reason the new Note 7 will be $849 cause they r only making egde style phones.
I'm glad they pushed me to my limits, first it was HTC, I had all the HTC phone till M7, for when they had the first tmobile dash windows phone.. haha..
don't know whats next, maybe crapple... no rush since the note 4 is still rocking good,
but the Note 7, water resistence is awesome is the only kool thing I guess.
Seems like I'm having the same problem frp lock and drk has anyone found a solution yet. I can't seem to find any way to fix this yet. Appreciate any help in advance
I could help with this issue, just let me know if you need my assistant I would have to remotely do this to accomplish this thanks..
I need some help. I'm not sure where to go from here. Ok so I have a Canadian S8+ (SM-G955W). A couple weeks ago I flashed what all the articles said was a final release of Oreo just not released yet, meant for SM-G955U, with build number R16NW.G955USQU2CRA1. I've got a couple questions:
1. Is there any new update I should/can flash and where would I get it from?
2. Will I get OTA updates at all if I'm on the software for the unlocked version?
3. I've not had any major issues but my signal has been weaker then before, any way to fix this?
I'm not an expert at this so simple instructions are best. Thanks. ?
If you want to update to the most recent Oreo release, not official yet, it's CRAF. You have to ODIN back to BQL1 then flash the update to CRAF.

Negative. BUT, I'm on CRA9, which was released before CRAF and it runs GREAT, for me. I'll stay on this till official rolls out. Then I could (and yourself) flash back to BQL1 and take the OTA or wait for the ODIN files to be released and flash that way.

I assume your friend flash the firmware. Check at sammobile.com for the firmware that matches your device, provider, and country.
If you could recall your previous firmware version prior to the one you are using now, then search for it, flash it, and try updating OTA or you could just download the latest version and use that.
So i am running 8.0 with the R16NW.N950USQU3CRAF Update, and i am having a hard time getting the OTA update that was recently launched. (changed dates to check for software updates and rebooted with no luck).
Will i need to downgrade back to Nougat in order to get the Official 8.0 update?
You won't get yesterday's OTA unless you are running the previously released AT&T OTA which is BRA8 I believe (someone correct me if I'm wrong). So yes, flashing back to what people here are calling "stock" would allow you to get recent OTA.

I'm not the really the person to ask about that. I haven't flashed my note 8. I just waited and took the OTA. I've just been following the threads out of habit from flashing phones since the beginning of the galaxy line. Sorry I can't be of more help for you.

Jackman is correct (Although being on the newer 3BRB2 would be best)
Odin is going to be the ONLY way to get back to stock.
You can go HERE for links and such.
Even when the 3CRC1 Odin files become available, Odin will still be the only option to get back to stock
