Texas ??
Side note what carrier do you have it on?

Cricket (ATT). Currently on 9.0.0.184. SIM is in my note 9 atm. Didn't think that would matter.

Shouldn't.
With the help of @VeNuMuS, we enabled the VoLTE toggle for ATT

I got a 460 mb OTA in India just now. Not sure why it is a full ROM in your case.

Got same as above - a patch with 2 updates and changelogs.
Is this really only security updates while other regions are getting bugfixes and stability updates?

That's what it looks like. Sadly.

We are missing some of the new features of the Chinese version, i wonder why it was absent from this update.

Just got my .192 update

First off you need root access. Do you have root?

No root on this device. Is there a mate 20 x rooting thread I missed? I don't want to take this one too far ot.
I know it all starts with boot loader unlock. I didn't mind dropping 20 for a honor note 10 code, but the current price / availability for 20 x isn't worth it. Perhaps you can start a root thread with your details?

Root has been available since about a month after I got my hands on the phone. Bootloader unlock was able to be done with the .172 update.
22$ for unlock code and 2 days.
Now, not even sure it's possible to get a code.

My 9.0.0.192 update arrived in Texas today. I'm a little late to the 20x as I was trying to beat the note 10 into submission (unsuccessfully obviously).

Verizon rolling out Stagefright patch for Galaxy S5

Verizon is rolling out Stagefright OTA patch for Galaxy S5. I installed and tested the patch. My phone is stock/un-rooted, and appears to be working fine after the patch.
What android version?
G900VVRU2BOG5 is the new update VZ rolling out...
I have captured the update.zip OTA ..
Let me know if some needs for research. .

I think you missed posting in a couple hundred other threads...
Or you can just use viper4android, kill stagefright, and tell Verizon, "Thanks, but no thanks--I'm in this for _me_ now."
I am not entirely sure what that means, but man, the day when this contract ends cannot come soon enough.

5.0.2 I think... but does this mean the OE1 unrootable phone is fixed? Can the G900Vs with this build be rooted now?

Pretty sure it's still 5.0. I don't think the S5 will be getting any more updates, it's at the end of its software cycle since 5.0, this update was only released for the stagefright fix.

No. Verizon's own custom OE1 is the reason that it's not rootable. Once you have the OE1 Kernel or higher, you cannot root unless they find another exploit. I doubt they will considering it's an older phone that's already being phased out in terms of support.

Take it back. You have a "new" phone that basically has no support for it anymore. If you have something to use currently other than the S5, I'd consider waiting till the new Google Nexus 5 or 6 2015 edition coming out this year. That should have root and an unlocked bootloader (Google wouldn't stand for Verizon locking down their phone).

You would have to find a phone you like, go to that forum, and check. I believe any phone with an unlocked bootloader can always be rooted? And I'm pretty sure the Google nexus 5/6 (the old ones) will always be rootable.
I'm jumping ship from Samsung (I wanted to move to the Note at one point, but Samsung screwed up big time with their phones trying to make it like an iPhone, and with Samsung/Verizon in bed with locking up root/bootloader).

What about the HTC One M8 and M9. Are they rootable? I just want to be able to customize more than my wallpaper and font.. I want themes and color schemes and message skins that aren't apps because that drains my battery.

There's a search bar at the top of XDA where you can enter a device. It also allows you to specify which carrier as well. This is from the M9 forum. Says you need a JAVA card which is expensive, but it unlocks the phone/allows root. You can also donate (usually $20-60) users to do it for you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...t-s-off-how-root-s-off-verizon-m9-20-t3123178
I have no idea about the M8, seems to be the same, have to have S-OFF or whatever the heck that means. Do research yourself if you want the phone.
I don't think I saw anyone ask this yet...
If I'm currently rooted with OE1, can i take this update and stay rooted? or will i loose root and not be able to get root again?
thanks

Follow the instructions in muniz_ri's thread. He hasn't released the deodexed version though. You should never take ota when rooted, and you should actually have it disabled as soon as you root. One user reported that they ota updated without losing root, but I'd never recommend it.
There is no benefit in disabling it. You have to authorize any update, so it cannot overwrite it on its own. The only reason to disable it is the popup after an update comes out which can be stopped by deleting the update.zip then having the install fail.
Two or three updates ago, I lost the ability to rotate my screen unless an app forces it to rotate, now with this update my phone no longer reads sd cards, and in fact boot loops if there is one inserted. I've done a lot of searching, both when the initial problem manifested, and now with the new problem, but haven't seen anyone with a fix. Any suggestions?

Root root roooottt!!!
Huawei requires us to wait 2 weeks after owning the phone and logging into Huawei's servers. Then, they'll allow us to get an unlock code for the bootloader.
Once the bootloader is unlocked, rooting will be a piece of cake.
Thanks. I guess you need to activate the Huawei ID for this?

No, haven't seen anything. Some people here are testing, and they will post details once successful....
I rooted my last two phones (Note 2 and 4) but I'm wondering if it's a big deal for the Mate 9.
It's got really good control of unwanted apps, and I suspect there won't be any custom ROMs for a while.
So what are you guys hoping to do with a rooted Mate 9?

If I recall correctly there are 2 custom ROMs floating around already, a Chinese and an Italian one.

BEWARE!! Thats a new boot loader... v2! you wont be able to do a full factory restore until a v2 bootloader odin file is released.
That being said, how do you like it? any differences?

You will probably be waiting quite awhile.... As I stated in my thread, little to NO devs are working on root for the s9/+... I've seen one Korean user mention he was trying in another forum for us SD users, and ONE other guy... That's it, just 2 people and myself. Don't expect anything before Christmas.
The only member (SAMFail creaters) i know working on ROOT doesnt have the device but has a tester... Its gonna be a while...
Dude, dont post these. I roasted you enough on reddit. The basics, these are bad updates to use unless I can verify them before. Bl updates are dangerous. Also just dont use them dude, the website could be shut down any day because of people like you.

Why are these bad updates?
These updates from sam firm science allowed a lot of us to get onto oreo beta. If you know how to recover your phone why is this a problem. OP explained the risk with the bootloader.

Because NEVER do bl updates. Btw check my post history, I did Note8 Oreo. Also I work with the dude who makes the site. I know this stuff. That's why I am saying it's a bad idea.

Actually, cancel that, he is no longer trying root methods SAMFail has been PATCHED! So, it gonna be even longer until ROOT....
I may just go to international S9+ if there root seems like a false hope on the SD variant. The only issue would be VoLTE and WiFi calling, oh and Samsung suddenly restricting call recording apps on international variant. I tried flashing those Engboot from other thread with no luck btw.

Vzw OPM2.171019.029 - can it be rooted?

I have been able to gain root access to all my vzw devices except the latest LG G4 I received after mainboard repair.
Is there a way to root the vzw Pixel 2 XL I bought yesterday with 8.1.0 Security Patch Level April 5, 2018 - Build number OPM2.171019.029 ?
At this point the main reason I want to root the phone is to install Viper4Android.

My bad - I was under the impression for some reason that the two were lumped together.
No, but the pxl2 xl forum is an LG based phone and a known dev for the v20 thinks he may have just cracked MANY lg phones. It's looking very promising for unlocked bootloader on the xl in the very near future. I recommend disabling updates for the moment just Incase.

It's no closer now than it was in October when the device was released. He might as well take the updates, the phone is not getting rooted. Most have given up even trying.
Okay.

MsmDownloadTool hunting

Is it time to start guessing what the URL on https://s3.amazonaws.com/oneplussupport/ will be?
My best guess was https://s3.amazonaws.com/oneplussupport/OP7P/guacamole_21.O.07_190512.rar but no luck.
Edit: Found the EU one! https://s3.amazonaws.com/oneplussupport/OP7Pro/guacamole_21_E.08_190515.rar
OnePlus is definitely using this as the root directory: https://s3.amazonaws.com/oneplussupport/OP7Pro/

Yes, this program will literally transform the T-Mobile variant into the international version you can buy from OnePlus directly. There is literally no difference between the two, you get the same OTAs as international version just as if you bought it from OnePlus

But now we know the filename. This one is apparently for 9.5.4 on the EU model (GM1913). Can't find one for the other builds. Maybe it works for US/Global/India.

U should have no issues with OTA, the tool turns ur phone back to as it was in the box, it relock bootloader, u roots and stock recovery, now there are some out there that could be modded to not delete userdata and no relock bootloader which means no incremental OTAs

No but we can at least unlock the bootloader on the T-Mobile version
Permanent SIM unlock can probably be done with fastboot commands after a bootloader unlock.

Thats only thing I want.
I wont have the tMobile one im in the UK and getting 5G variant and it might be sim locked but want to unlock bootloader and not wait 6 months before they give me unlock code.
I just called OP for the literally the 10th time today.
I told them I don't care about my warranty.. I just want the msm tool and unlock. Bin generator. They said that their technical support team is working on it. They also said they will be sending me an email with either the link for the MSM tool either today or tomorrow.
I doubt they will just give a token generator out but once we Hve our hands on the msm tool. We can sort some things out.
