[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] chidino:
When I first got the message, I hit Update Now, and... bootloops. Completed the update process and just endless bootloops; at first, they went to the T-Mobile screen, but then cut out the drama and bombed right at initial Galaxy S5 screen. What upset me is that I was running stock; I just disabled some bloat with BK Package Disabler, nothing more. 'course, as with tradition, a long battery pull solved the problem. Seems to be working fine, and the update also seems to have solved that toolbox bug.

Never mind! As per tradition, a long battery pull solved the issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] SithBoxer:
I wanted to confirm that T-Mobile/Samsung have gotten super aggressive with this update. After a certain amount of time, you won't be able to put off the update (no choices available other than 'Install Now', takes over the screen so you can't do anything else, and it disables the hardware buttons until you tap 'Install Now'.

A workaround, if you need it, (other than rebooting immediately) is to pull down the notification shade and either tap something in your shade, or tap and hold WiFi/Location/Bluetooth, etc. Once you have exited the update dialog, everything should be working as normal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nateg900t:
OK, for someone on gpe1 with twrp/systemless root and systemless exposed, what's the best way to update without losing anything? Preferably not going back to stock recovery...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mgp53:
Don't think it's possible unless you have the modem and bootloader tars, and I haven't seen them on the forums. Otherwise, I generally make a full backup and do a full wipe and factory reset. Odin the release, your data may still be intact if you didn't do a factory reset/wipe, root apps won't be functional, recovery will be stock.

Odin TWRP, flash SU, flash Xposed, Backup again at this point as your base. Restore data from previous backup... cross fingers and hope all goes as planned :) If not you have the base install to start restoring via TB or Play store.

Man, they've gotten super aggressive with this update and I'm rooted. XDA gang: Before I do something stupid like losing my root, should I take the update or try to get around this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] eidairaman1:
I'm new to firmware/rom flashing arena. I had received the first Marshmallow update and then I accidently hit the updates option a few weeks later, well the most current update is saying that if I update I wont be able to downgrade. That tells me the if I'm not mistaken the bootloader is being locked like how AT&T and Verizon do it. I specifically bought a SM-G900T (T-Mobile USA KLTE) S5 to prevent from having the boot loader locked. Has anyone verified the bootloader is now locked on this latest update- aka has tried downgrading to a previous version because if you can't downgrade I'm not going to update and rather have the ability to customize my phone.

I am currently back to KitKat 4.4.2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ShinySide:
Incorrect. The not being able to downgrade and locked bootloader are 2 completely different things.

You can still do anything you want. Only thing you can't do is odin back to the pervious version. However That does not include being able to flash an earlier version via a recovery.

Still can flash recoveries, kernels, roms, mods, etc etc. You just can't downgrade via odin or downgrade bootloaders. Anything with you can.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] eidairaman1:
yeah my S4 was locked down so i couldnt do anything to put in newer versions of Android after 5.1.1 let alone downgrade or put in custom roms.

I went ahead and put in 6.0.1 GPE1 (not latest) back into the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Motorolaseries:
I'm running android 5.0 baseband G900TUVU1DOB1 on my g900t stock and roooted because i don't wanna update and lose root. The update to marshmallow does intrigue me though cuz i hear it's a little faster. My question is, If i wan't marshmallow, do i have to update my phone to all the updates between 5.0 and 6.0.1? And also once i get to 6.0.1, is there a way to root it? BTW i am using the G900TUVS1FOJ4 recovery despite having the DOB1 baseband because it was the closest to stock the stock OB1 recovery i could find. I should still be able to update OTA right? If it turns out that i can't root 6.0.1 then i'll prolly just stay on 5.0 with my root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nateg900t:
I used to be on one of the 4.4.2 stock rooted roms without a custom recover so I didn't lose warranty coverage with Knox.

When GPE1 with 6.0.1 came out, I did a full reset, odin'd GPE1, then twrp recovery (flipping the Knox warranty bit, but at this point on a 2+ year old phone who cares), then flashed systemless root and systemless xposed from twrp recovery, then titanium backup restored my backed up apps.

It wasn't too bad, but now I have to restart about once or twice a day when things get really laggy... Like there is a memory leak or runaway process or something... Which was probably Samsung's plan to make me buy a new phone, in which case I'll probably go the nexus/pixel route since I'm tired of waiting forever for and then fighting each update to try and keep the same root functionality...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ShinySide:
You can just go straight to MM by flashing the tar. If you take the ota itll most likeky go straight to MM as well. MM is root able.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Motorolaseries:
Could you possibly link me to a tar and a root guide for mm? Also should i unroot my phone before updating?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Motorolaseries:
Thank's ill prolly flash the stock 5.0 DOB1 to unroot before doing this, just to be safe. First i must know. Do you think MM is all that worth it? Like is the battery life actually better are some of the laggy things such as occasional keyboard lag significantly reduced, or has it gotten worse? If it's gotten better or stayed about the same I'll prolly update so i can get the security benefits.

Updating to PG2 with root?

Not sure how it happened, but I got PG2 OTA without any confirmation. (I had just done a TWRP restore of my PE1 phone.) I'm currently seeing a PG2 build with a PE1 baseband & bootloader. Can I flash the PG2 modem & bootloader without losing root?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] linsalata28:
Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] wIsiwYgNYC22:
FWIW, since I didn't get a response, I did a new TWRP backup that included the modem, and then flashed just the PG2 modem/bootloader tar with Odin. Everything worked fine after that, including root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] invisiblewave:
Can somebody give me a brief explanation of the differing versions? We own two GS5s, one is a G900T & the other shows a G900T3, both are T-Mobile CPO devices bought around the same time. I ran the official OTA on both before rooting, and the G900T now shows the TUVS1 version while the other shows T3VS2. The reason I'm curious is because the G900T is having connectivity issues which I strongly suspect are sim-related, but I'm still looking at other possible reasons. Can I run the T3VS2 or any other GPG2 version on the G900T?

---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 PM ----------

MM is definitely worth it. Lollipop is a half-baked piece of crap. Volume control is improved on M, as are notifications. I didn't run L for very long, and battery life on L was a big step up from K anyway, but on M it's tremendously improved. I don't have any lag issues at all except when the bloody virus scan software is doing its thing.

I flashed that over G900TUVU1GPE1 and had hoped it would fix the StageFright vulns ... now have Baseband at TUVS1GPG2 but build number is still at GPE1 and the StageFright tests show still vulnerable. Guess this wasn't my easy fix without having to remove root and go the full update route/ :eek:

Is there any way yet to patch the stagefright vulns without having to undo root and go back through a whole install of the firmware? I guess at this point it's actually G900TUVS1GPI1 that I need anyways, with the October patch release.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] invisiblewave:
I like this plan. Is there any way to simply flash the stock recovery, run the OTA update, then flash TWRP & SU? I've been looking for a stock recovery on its own but haven't found one, unless flashing the bootloader is the same thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ShinySide:
That contains nothing pertaining to the system....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] invisiblewave:
So, I updated to G900T3UVS3GPI1 using the above method, with no wipe and without restoring data. So far, so good. Steps were, download the tar, flash with Odin (AP, no reboot), reboot straight into Download mode (vol-, home, power), flash TWRP tar (AP, no reboot), reboot to TWRP, flash SU, wipe Dalvik & cache, reboot System.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] SimLynks:
I have been able to update my Rooted/Xposed/Encrypted G900T to the latest OTA without loosing Root/TWRP etc, have posted the necessary files and update method in another thread

http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/development/t-mobile-october-4th-security-update-t3474449

The following AHF link contains the three necessary files, the OTA ZIP to be flashed from FlashFire, and the two Odin flashable TAR files for the Bootloader/Modem.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=121594

Let me know if you run into any problems, and I can try to help. Also even when I kinda screwed up and only managed to flash the new Kernel via the OTA and hadn't yet updated the Bootloader/Modem my device passed the Stagefright testing 100% JUST with the new Kernel, through Wifi was a bit wonky til I also updated the Bootloader/Modem.

My method posted in the other thread didn't even remove my Root/Xposed/TWRP as long as you have Systemless SuperSU installed prior to applying the OTA update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] eidairaman1:
these updates have a warning about not being able to downgrade etc, locks the firmware, I would not update beyond this version G900TUVU1GPE1.

G900TUVU1GPE1- 89.** MB file size download- states will prevent downgrades (Do not install- locks phone down from downgrading or putting in a custom backup such as twrp- if accidently downloaded and you don't want to install it you have to use this guide here http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/general/root-how-to-root-sm-g900t-firmware-t3358190.

Then use ES file Explorer to find the update.zip (after enabling root access in SuperSU and ES File Explorer , would be under \ cache\fota, delete update.zip and then run the install- it will fail, don't send data to samsung. then Use the Program below.

To prevent updates from being downloaded use Titanium Backup Pro to freeze Software Update (2 versions)

G900TUVS1GPI1- from september- i'm unsure about either
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Reyse:
I've been using GPG2 and I haven't had problems flashing TWRP , o reinstalling LP (FOL1) or even KK (CNK2)

What I found out is if you have a nandroid backup from LP and you are running MM (GPG2) you cannot restore directly.

You must

* flash through ODIN FOL1

* flash TWRP and then

* restore nandroid
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] invisiblewave:
G900TUVS1GPI1 is fine. Why would you want to downgrade anyway??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] eidairaman1:
For bugs that may arrise.

An update on my S4 I337 (AT&T) caused me to not be able to hear anyone whenever I would make a call let alone not hear the ring tone of the person I was calling, it prevented me from downgrading to resolve issues. ATT/Verizon Locks theirs down so you can't or let alone put in a custom Firmware Version.

My phone is currently rooted using twrp and SuperSU, in order for me to get this my phone would need to be Restored to Stock 4.4.2 Rom correct? (I don't care about KNOX breaking)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ShinySide:
I'm really confused.... you're telling people not to update because you can't downgrade because of an issue you had on another device?

No. Just download the stock firmware and flash it. Doesn't matter what you're on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] eidairaman1:
i initially stated earlier that the GP2 firmware when received OTA has a message on its installer it would prevent downgrading the OS version. Reyse just stated it doesn't do it. Another person asked why would anyone downgrade the phone- I replied for any issues that may arrise. I was just naming an example where I couldn't downgrade- low and behold it was Jellybean 5.1.1 and ATT. ATT/Verizon loves to lock their phones down from downgrading or putting any custom roms on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Brent212:
Just curious, how do you flash with Odin, the reboot straight into download mode? If I uncheck "Auto Reboot" in Odin, after I flash, my phone just remains in download mode. So do I not need to reboot at all? Or do I pull the battery, put it back in, and then boot into download mode? Or is there a way to trigger it from Odin? I'm using Odin 3.09, I don't see anyway to do it, but perhaps it's in a newer version.

Does anybody know anything about the following issue: I have SM-G900T (T-Mobile), running latest Cyanogenmod, and often I'll be talking to someone and then all of the sudden I can't hear them any more. They can hear me fine, but I can't hear them. Sometimes pressing volume up or down fixes the problem and I can hear them again. Sometimes switching to speakerphone allows me to keep talking. But sometimes neither of these work and I have to hang up and try calling them again. Hoping to fix the problem, I upgraded to the latest baseband and bootloader (G900TUVS1GPI1) then reinstalled Cyanogenmod. This seemed to fix the problem for a couple of days but now the problem is back. Is there anything else I can load/update/do? Thanks for your help

You got stuck at bootloaders cuz you got an CID unlocked phone.To upgrade to any latest wm6 Rom ,first you got get your phone CID/SIM unlocked.Read the forum and stickies for CID/SIM unlocking your device.Only after CID unlocking you'll be able to upgrade to wm6.

You can download the official i-mate k-jam Rom from the link below and flash in the bootloaders to recover back to it's default status and then unlock the phone or download the Button's Rom 1.05 and flash.:-

Hey Everyone!

I'm planning to buy a flagship and shortlisted S7 edge but I'm getting the exynos version.I've heard reviews of how this one has issues after 18 to 30 min of Hardcore gaming and slower on single core performance.

Question is: Do I go with this version? What are the downsides (in terms of real world usability)? Or is the Htc 10 a better alternative? I would prefer real owners who have had this phones for at least 1 week.

I'd be surprised if you notice a difference. There is not much or any software that will tax either processor to the full. Differences are more likely due to user settings.

Exynos does however have better battery life all other things being equal.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MAX 404:
Hi mate

i do not know about games...but i can tell you the exynos option is better , performance is good , rooting is easier , more tweaks , more mods , more custom roms.

i do not know about HTC10 , i had a HTC 9 , I like S7 better
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] criss_007:
Agree with that. I've watched a lot of comparison test between the exynos and snapdragon version and exynos does come out to be better. But I've heard unconfirmed reports from people that exynos has issues. That's why I considered the htc 10. For me the htc is a bit subpar when compared to the full specs but performance in the long run for extended stretches is crucial and deal breaker. Thank you all for the replies. I welcome more inputs and opinions. Let's have a larger picture. Also, anyone own or know someone who owns a htc 10? I'd love an opinion on the s7's competition.

Phone is not recognized by computer despite installing last drivers.

I try to flash again the kdz but without success...

So, when then phone agree, I can reach the LG start page, then the android machining page is appearing a few seconds, then the screen turns into black again...
