Hello!
Just got my 7P from the Black Friday sale (I'm in Europe so a friend who was flying in got it for me).
Still haven't turned it on. Question: should I update first, then root? Or root first, then update?
Maybe it's a silly question and the answer is "update first because updating will remove rooting anyhow", but I don't know if they have maybe changed something lately and rooting is more difficult or whatever...
Thanks!
Yu can always update your phone, some you will, before and after root
So if it's all the same I guess I'll update first or I'll have to re-root...
You can update to beta & then root. No worries. However, If you want to install a custom rom, you may want to stay on 12 until checking the requirements of the ROM.

The Pixel 7 series came with Android 13 so there is no Android 12 for this device.

If you want to update while keep root you can use Pixel Flasher.
i gonna suggest to disable dm-verity at the first time as well, so if in the future you opt to use custom kernel (which i think, you should) you wont need to wipe your phone

That's what I knew, but @Wi1son reminded me to enroll for betas
Thanks for mentioning Pixel Flasher, didn't know about it - sounds great!!

Oh yeah, meant some ROMs require the November update and aren't ready for the December update
Yeah, custom ROMs lie in the future for now... but coming from OnePlus I am familiar with official ROM/fw requirements for them, thanks!
I've got one too in the last week ..Been so long and never had a pixel so I'm afraid to try it ..Need a new kernel ,only getting 4-5 SOT ..

Running newest beta just released ..I got pixel to root and stuff..Phones are boring now ..But I gotta figure it out soon as I get time .Just haven't had time yet
When I got mine, before I even inserted the SIM, I connected to WiFi and updated Android and Google Play, then I inserted the SIM, ran through the setup quickly, unlocked bootloader, rebooted and rooted using Pixel Flasher, wiping Veritas and Verification. That way for any future updates, I would be set to flash with PF, moving forward and that has been very simple
Thanks, awesome. Sounds like a great tool, wish there was something like that for OnePlus!

Can't really tell when you will get it. Probably in the next few days. I didn't get the OTA so I just flashed it with the fastboot images.

Right... As per Carl, the updates are pushed in batches not limiting to any geographical areas.
Within next few days almost everyone should have it.
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.

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?
Verizon sm-g900v, latest update g900vvru2bog5,
Just got notified of a new update. Sprint's website says that it fixed a major security issue (Stagefright). Anyone know anything about this? Any performance improvements/new features? Is it rootable like ZV7?
I just got notified about an update on my 996 as well. Hoping someone can clarify on what this update changes.
Not 100% sure of the changes, but take a look for yourself! Just received this in the morning, and uploaded to Google Drive. Enjoy!

Can i take this update?I am on v7 rooted system.img.Will it work if i update.?Thanks
No. If you are rooted it will not work.
So has anyone else's gotten really crappy from doing this switch? i have had more problems after this update, and the 5.1.1 update made the phone finally what its supposed to be.
If you need root for the new update, I can do it
Just send me a system backup
Sent from my Redmi Note 2
What would one have to do to hide an update like this? As far as i can see it's not worth unrooting for.
Edit: just figured it out. My apologies.
how do you turn off OTA updates?
Root
I am currently on LS996zv8 by sprint Is it possible to root now or downgrade? Their is nothing on the internet I came across to be able to root zv8.

If you long press the notification you can open app info and disable notifications from it.
It won't fully "disable" the updates but itll at least stop nagging you about them.
Probably a better way to do it but this works for me.
Are you people aware of the stagefright security issues and the recently published exploit? Did you really not know about the worst security flaw in Android affecting about 950 million Android phones?
Check this page out for details:
https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/category/technologies/operating-systems/mobile/android/
Install this upgrade as soon as possible, it will ensure that your phone is protected from the stagefright bugs plaguing Android for months, we'll since discovered a few months ago. It is the most important update your phone has ever received.
LG does not have this update for the European Flex2 yet, lucky you that you get it already.

Not sure about either but you're probably better off using Google Voice for voicemail anyway. It's free, accessible on any device, and does text translations.

I've always wanted to try, but what if my Google Voice number is different than my regular phone number? I have them separate. Also, I wouldn't necessarily want to fully port my verizon number to google voice. Am I thinking too much into it?

That's what I'm doing. It's been a while, but essentially what you do is forward unanswered calls to Google Voice which takes care of the voicemail part. You can get voicemail on your phone through Hangouts or on any browser in Gmail or Google Voice. You might want to check out this link - https://support.google.com/voice/answer/165656?hl=en

Is it possible that MM will allow those of us still s-on and unrooted to root and s-off without sunshine? I was dropped from asurion nearly a year ago, so, if I'm going to buy sunshine, I'm going to wait till I get a replacement device. Hoping that I'll be able to root for free with MM though!

Ah yes, the pre-update.
I can't wait. When Marshmallow comes out and a stock rooted RUU is released, I am going to do a factory reset and wipe within stock recovery as well. This will clean up everything, fresh NV partition as well as new radios.
Can't go wrong!!

I've flashed between mm builds a few times and I always have the play store download and install my user apps automatically as part of the first time initialization then I use tibu to restore their data.

Your Phone will give the message that there is an update to new software. But as soon you will try to install it, it will fail.
OTA can't be installed on custom recovery, you need te be on stock rom, stock recovery and unrooted.
There are a few posts on the general section to go back to scratch, or just wait till a developer makes an stock based rom on 7.1.

Flashfire is of course what I meant, Doh on my part!! Never had any issues with it working with my Moto X Style. I would imagine that Motorola have factored in that the majority of their users will still be running an out of date version of Android and that it will go from 6 to 7 with little if any issues. I'll be giving it a try from a custom 7.1.1 rom first before wiping my device and trying it that way, once (if!) it comes out of course.
