Hi all,
I did search before posting this, but couldn't find quite the question/answer I was looking for. I've got a rooted S4 SPH-L720.
I've got a custom ROM installed, Sacs 4.3, and the phone has been fine. I just got the system update downloaded and the button to install it. I've got TWRP as my recovery right now.
Last time I had one of these I just turned off notifications, but wasn't sure if this is an important update, or what it even updates? Is it only for phones running Stock?
Thanks,
-Jeff

Hi there, I just got my new I9505. If I plan on rooting it over the next few days, should I install/not install the OTA update that was downloaded when I first switched my phone on.
I'm wondering if the new OTA will make gaining root access more complicated. I'd like to stay using TouchWiz for a few more weeks before I get CM or other ROMs, so is the update worth it?
Currently on XXUAMDF
Thanks
Hello, sorry for the noob question.
I've been trying to update my N7 wifi to lollipop, but everytime I try I ended in a bootloop. In 4..4.4 I didn't have any issue. Searching in other forums I've found that when this behavior starts the tablet is about to die, is this true? Also I was reading that the bootloader that came in the last versions is corrupt, but I'm not sure if there is a fix for that.
I manage again to downgrade to KK 4.4.4, but I really want to have Lollipop on it, guess I'll have to wait to Android M, any suggestions?
Thanks!

How are you trying to update?
Hello, I updated with the OTA and also using the toolkit
Hi Guys,
im new to the Samsung World. I bought a S5 (G900F) with Lollipop 5.0. Today i rooted it with CF-Autoroot, installed rootchecker and so far everything is fine.
When i go to the Systemsettings now, to Softwareupdates and check for updates, there is an error now. It says, that the firmware was changed not authorized or something like that.
What does that mean? Am i still able to Update to Marshmallow, once it comes out? How can i do this? A few days ago, i received a Securityupdate via OTA. Is this possible in the future with this root? If not, how can i do it or how can i get back to stock?
Thx
Questions you should have asked before rooting really
But you're OK, the G900F is easy enough to get OTA working again, just flash another stock ROM over the top, and you'll be back to "official" status and able to receive updates OTA
sammobile .com for ROMs and ODIN that you use to flash them
Thx for your answer. I don't need OTA as long as i am able to update to Android 6 somehow. Is it still poossible to update via Kies 3 ? Am i also able to update the Securityupdates via Kies?
If so, im fine with that.
thx

You can find all the info you need in this post.
Don't know what your firmware is but the oldest base you can go is NB1 (4.4.2).
Root the phone with towel root.
Install either flash fire or safestrap and flash the desire lollipop rom.
Hello! I don't want to start a new thread just yet, but I'm also stuck in a bootloop after a mishap during a manual update. Is it possible to recover any of the internal files when recovering the phone, or is it impossible? Honestly, I just want the files off of my phone more than anything else. There are a lot of memories there that I would love to save...I know, I know, I should have backed up those files, but that chance is gone now. :crying:
Hey guys,
Want to wipe my phone fresh since I'm running out of space. My phone has been telling me for months that I have an update, but I haven't updated because I've been told on here never to do OTA updates.
I tried looking around for a stock rooted ROM for this like I've flashed for other versions, but I can't much if any info on the new PL1 update. Usually, someone posts a de-knoxed, rooted version of the software. Is that around or what should I do?
How should I do the update? If I download it from sammobile and flashed it, will that screw up my phone?
Edit: TBH, it's been a while since I've done this and have forgotten the right terminology. I'm not sure if my phone is "unlocked," but I have Philz Touch recovery on it, definitely rooted, and whatever else is built into those modified stock ROMs. Just want to wipe, update, and keep my functionality without bricking or something, since I need this thing working. I can't seem to find a straightforward post on here, and I'm just so busy with school I feel like I can't catch up and relearn all this stuff again.
Thanks for the help
