Android System Update?? VZW 7.7 Tab. What is it?

Just got a notification that there is a system update for my 7.7 LTE. Anyone have any clue what it is? ICS?! Probably not. Anyone else get it?

26.2MB doesn't seem too promising. But I don't see any information on VZW's website either.

I just got this as well. I assume updating it to whatever it is will Bork my root and recovery?

That's what I'm afraid of as well. Almost seems worth it to see if it is ICS.

I doubt its Ics. I'm going to upgrade

Me too. Let me know though.

I got this earlier and it failed on install. Like has been said at 26.2MB I seriously doubt it's ICS.

Tab restarted and it showed the android icon. A status bar went like a quarter of the way until it showed the android with an exclamation point and froze. I freaked out and held power to shut it down. It booted to cwm and I restarted.
Not sure if it even completed the update at all.

I took the RED pill. SuperSU seems to be disabled, probably root too...
EDIT: Cleaned up SuperSU, rerooted, installed Superuser and all is well.
WHEW!

After update on mine, Still Android 3.2
Build is now FD01
Mine was not rooted before update

Maybe it's a test run for the ICS update...

Damn. I just got that message too and said "go" because I have root with backup (ota rootkeeper) and CWM so I thought let's see but all it did was reboot *into CWM!!* and gave me some error, checksum mismatch or whatever. Rebooted and all is still untouched "old" version.
Now system/about says no update available. How can I manually install this? I think it's a new modem and hope it is and that it will finally fix the horrid 4G reception issues. My Droid Razr gets SOOO much better signal in the same area.
Does anyone by chance have a clean, fresh stock install plus this update and can pull me a CWM nandroid backup ?

Here is what the update is, and no its NOT ICS, sorry. Please read

Nope
Mine was updated yesterday and i don't see a huge difference before and after

"Biggest" change appears to be IPv6 support. I care (I'm all IPv6-native at home), most probably won't.

Will I lose root?
Has anyone tested whether we will lose root by upgrading? And if so does the root.zip work to get it back?
Given what's at stake (IPv6 functionality), I don't think I care whether I do it or not, I just want it to stop asking me.

Yes I lost root but re-rooted with .zip just fine

I applied this OTA last night. Since then, I'm seeing much poorer data speeds: Previously had pretty solid LTE speeds, now I'm lucky to exceed 500-1000kbps down.
Does anyone know if the previous i815 ROM / previous radio file is available online to flash via desktop Odin? (I've searched but didn't find anything but a nandroid file -- I'm not rooted, so don't have CWM.)

Update

Just had an update pushed to my phone. Don't know what it was but still running 4.1.2. Here is pic.

Anything new that you've noticed?
Also, last night somebody posted a thread talking about a leaked update, the file name "VRZ_XT926_9.8.1Q-94-1_RSD.xml.zip" matches the build number on your picture.

Never really paid attention to build numbers so couldn't say what's different. I wonder what the update actually did

Droid-life posted something about this earlier today. Sorry, I'm too new to post a link, but the article can be found on their page.
The gist is that it updates Backup Assistant, rapid charging, HDMI output, and something with GPS icon. Something like that. Maybe a couple other minor fixes too.

Are you rooted? And did you keep root after the OTA?

Ran the update. I was unlocked and rooted using SuperSU pro.
SuperSU automatically restored root when I launched TiBu to test.
I assume other root keepers will work too. But, as long as you're unlocked you can always root your device.

I'm not unlocked, just rooted, but I do have Voodoo OTA RootKeeper installed. It's only let me down once, but that once was enough to want to see what other people experience before taking an OTA.
Thanks for your reply. That's what I was looking for.

I was able to temp unroot with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, update via OTA, and restore root with Voodoo.

My father accepted the OTA and lost root. The version it says its on now is: 9.8.1Q-94
Any ideas to get it rooted again? Motochopper 1.3 specifically says it doesn't support this version.

As of now, there's no way to root the update. Hopefully, there's a new exploit in work somewhere.

This worked for me as well. I am now rooted on 9.30.1.xt926.

Yes, I just got it also (Cleveland, OH). It's a 30-something MB update. Wonder if that's prepping for a bigger update to come?

Someone said there was a fix coming, perhaps for GPS etc. Definitely sounds too small to be KitKat? I think would need to restore stock odexed in order to install.

I'm on the 'official' kitkat and is says software is up to date when I checked

This just confirms that we WONT be getting an update any time soon to 4.4.
Both Samsung and ATT have some sort of BS going on. Probably something with the additional bloatware not working with 4.4 and is the reason why they have not released 4.4 to the public.
This type of BS may push me over the edge with both Samsung and ATT.

Samsung needs to pull an Apple and not allow any carriers to add junk to their phones, thats one thing I respect about Apple.

Well my phone somehow managed to update itself while in my Otterbox holster. I lost my root. Is it safe to re-root using Kingo again?

The same thing happened to me. This sucks. I guess I should have froze future updates through Titanium Backup. We may be temporarily screwed.

I am trying to re-root using Kingo but my phone keeps rebooting as Kingo root program says "waiting for device". I remember there being something special I had to do to get it to root last time. What did you do to root yours again?

Just made sure the phone had USB Debugging on and put it in MTP mode when plugged into USB. Other than that I just let Kingo do its thing. It did reboot one time during the root process but was re-detected by Kingo after restarting and the process continued. Also got the warning about mtkCamera being potentially unsafe during part of the process but told it to goahead anyway. Using Kingo 1.2.0

You can root by installing TWRP using ODIN.

Updated my phone (which is not on Sprint Network as I live outside US) and must say, I'm quite impressed. There are no noticible UI changes but the system feels more snappier than before. I guess the Doze settings have been worked too because of which battery life has improved a tad bit.

Anyone know what Sprint meant by "Resolution to lock screen production issue"?

How can i root if i have this current version can anyone help me?

Flash TWRP with ODIN and then flash SuperSU zip through that recovery.

Do you guys capture the download link?

Does anyone have a link to download it. I would prefer to not have to put my phone back to full stock to get to then reroot and set my phone back up.

Used to get lock ups/crashes every day on MM until this update. Haven't had a crash since PG1 flashed. Maybe that's what
"Resolution to lock screen production issue"
meant.

Hot-spot mods of previous builds will not work. If you want, you can use pdanet or FoxiFi for it (no need of a rooted phone).
For Xposed, you can flash the zip available on XDA but you will require root for it.

PG1 source code isnt out, so developers will be behind still.

Well you gave me hope and i found some site called devlab that had a tutorial with comments. In the comments i seen mention of an 85.1 alt version that a few were able to install. Short story : I got it installed and im happy on pe2 using the alt version

86 updated version works best. And is newest.

Not sure my phone can live though an update to Nougat. It took 6 months before Google fixed the random reboots on MM (PG1 was the first really stable ROM). PH1 runs fine, just keep the security updates coming a while longer.

Can anyone confirm, that this update doesn't mess up the wifi tethering mod.

No. You have to be on the official unrooted and completely unmodified stock rom with stock recovery for it to work.

Can someone upload this?

Where did you get hotspot mod from? I didn't find any PG1 hotspot mod. I am running PG1 stock debloated rom by saintz.

I still have hotspot mod from before marshmallow 6.0 update ##data# with msl code. After marshmallow the fields to edit are now greyed out. Mine is still intact on stock rom.

The battery life on this particular update is horrible. PG1 was the best update till date by Samsung on Marshmallow.
For guys on PG1, my suggestion would be not to update to PH4.
Also, PG1 has the best signal reception & voice quality.
