Yep. Seeing it on my rooted ST. Has anyone found the full update for US LTE yet?
I've just downloaded it. I'll test it tomorrow!
Just got the notification but wont install on twrp so need full ROM to flash
Ok, I have it installed now. I can't say anything about speed yet, but the controller connected pretty fast and updated itself
Just popped up, but I'm rooted with unlocked bl, so waiting for the right version.
Can anyone that's installed it post the build number?

I tried downloading Full OTA by replacing build number in link, but it seems its down...
What did you try?
Here's the OTA link since nobody posted it yet:
http://ota.nvidia.com/ota/data/post...ota-from-29979_515.3274-to-32256_546.1774.zip
(For the record, that's for the wireless version)
Anybody remember what was the link format for the full ROMs?
Edit: Never mind.
This should be the full ROM for wireless version:

If you're currently rooted, the FULL version is what you'll need to flash in your custom recovery (TWRP, CWM, Phils) - don't forget to ALSO re-flash the latest stable SuperSU.zip in recovery AFTER flashing the full ota .zip and BEFORE rebooting if you want to keep root!
This is the FULL rom for the 16GB Wi-Fi model (says NA, but it's the same for all Wi-Fi models worldwide):
http://ota.nvidia.com/ota/data/post...d-signed-wx_na_wf-full_ota-32256_546.1774.zip
I've downloaded and successfully updated...(755MB). FWIW, my TWRP custom recovery survived the update.
Link to the 32GB LTE model for North America has been updated in the OP above.

I'm guessing you flashed the OTA not full ROM (because there's no way you've already downloaded it), and probably over a rooted system, right?
Sorry your right lol downloading full ROM now
Replacing wf with do seems to get the LTE NA version. Downloading now and will give it a try.

Thanks for the link! Wish they had a faster server (going between 350-450KBps).
I only rooted after the last update, so let me make sure I have this straight. Flashing this from CWM should update my Shield just like the OTA update would done the way nVidia intended it right (i.e. leave my data and apps in tact)? It's my understanding it will leave the bootloader unlocked but otherwise remove everything that made my phone rooted (CWM and SuperSU). If I didn't reflash the recovery or SuperSU right away, I could do it later, right?
full ota for wifi US flashes fine inTWRP booting now.
Thanks for the links buds

I was wondering if there was any work being done with a pure AOSP rom or any other roms that will theme with a locked bootloader.
The answer is sort-of...
No, you cannot unlock the boot loader if you the latest ota.
Yes, you can root and install safestrap, then look for a desirable ROM.
The third option I played with is replace as many of the Motorola apps as you can with the aosp versions. It is dangerous, I only tried it with email and that worked great, but I moved on to contacts and totally screwed up the ROM forcing me to flash back to stock and redo everything.

There is a work around for the latest OTA hehehe
Flash the stock.IMG in fastboot with the toolkit. It will flash a compatible version where you can unlock and root from there.
If you want AOSP... Carbon ROM is the closest in my opinion so far...

There is a Root Toolkit here in one of the forums, look for version 1.20
By unlock I mean unlocking the bootloader. It is only impossible if you don't flash an earlier version of the stock.img.

Yes, I had the .78 OTA and then I downgraded to a compatible version to get root then unlock and flash a custom ROM.
I don't know if my case was for some reason special but I also never got the "Boot loader is unlocked warning" either.

"Number 1 Explained -- This option requires your phone be in AP Fastboot mode. It will flash the official 4.1.2 System, Kernel, and Radio as well we wipe your data.
Number 2 Explained -- This option requires your phone be in AP Fastboot mode. It will flash the official 4.1.2 Stock Recovery.
Number 3 Explained -- This option requires your phone to be booted normally with USB Debugging enabled, and be already Rooted. This will flash TWRP Recovery by Hashcode.
Number 4 Explained -- This option requires your phone to be booted normally with USB Debugging enabled, and be already Rooted. This will flash CWM Recovery by Hashcode.

First backup your data and im not responsible if you cause the apocalypse
OK. chose option #1. It will flash a rootable version.
Next to root, choose option #5.
Next chose option #6 to ULOCK your bootloader.
Next chose either option 3 or 4 for a custom recovery. (I like CWM)
Have fun. that is exactly What I Did.

So just making sure, you were on the 4.1.2 ota prior to doing this right? Based on the notice posted on that utility thread, you are not suppose to use it if you were on the latest ota, which is the same one that locked the bootloader (unless stood corrected). So did you take a leap of faith and went ahead and did it even though it was warned to not do it, and did you ended up succeeding?
Was your phone bought new, or do you know if it's previous owner unlocked it before you got a hold of it, which would explain how you were able to, IF it wasn't used and modified prior?
Also, when you flashed the "compatible version" was it that you flashed the 4.1.2 update found in the utility or did you change it out to another image found here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/scorpion_mini_xt907/list.php
Just wandering, because if so, this is phenomenal news for those who have do not possess the ability to unlock normally because they took the recent ota. I am sure that like everyone else, including myself, we just want to know if this is safe to follow or not, no pointing fingers or bad accusations.
Thanks

I believe you... Now the question is who is brave enough to take a leap of faith? I would love to unlock by boot loader to ensure I will get the latest Android versions moving forward. I don't trust Verizon to let an upgrade thru beyond 4.1.2. I would test your procedure myself, but I'm too dependent on my phone for work right now.
So... Anyone? Anyone? Be a hero folks, somebody take the plunge! Pretty please?

Also, I feel obligated to mention this, and i do it with a heavy heart... A few weeks ago I seriously screwed up my phone playing with the contacts apk, breaking my ability to view my contacts or dial a number. I got desperate enough that even though I was on .78, used the utility and stock image to revert back everything fresh. I was so relieved when I saw it worked despite the warnings and being a slightly older rom version. Once I did that, I'm 75% sure I did trying unlocking the BL before installing .78 OTA, and it did not work. I figured I had nothing to lose at that point, and when it failed I just shrugged and continued getting my phone back to normal. Sorry if this discourages any brave souls, but again I am not 100% sure I followed the same steps Mentioned in this thread.

Download this .zip file once you have flashed the compatible stock version and have root.
As long as it says status code: 3 in the bootloader you are unlocked
Ok guys here are the results, sadly I could not achieve unlock with a unmodified, unrooted Razr M :
1. Turned off and started AP Fastboot mode. Used mattlgroff's Razr M Utility to flash to Android 4.1.2 98.15.66.XT907.Verizon.en.US system image. The flash worked perfectly I was able to downgrade to ota prior before the locked bootloader.
2. Used mattlgroff's Utility to root my device (step 5). I was able to root the device with SuperSU.
3. Used the seperate motopocalypse program by Dan Rosenberg found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226729. It ran and rebooted to AP fastboot mode. I received the folowing errors:
"TrustZone target address resolved to 2a020a02"
"TrustZone write failed: -11"
This indicated that the bootloader TrustZone which is needed to unlock, was still locked and that it couldn't make changes to properly unlock the device.
So for the time being, this method to unlock the bootloader does not work. I am thinking about trying the 4.1.1 system image instead, but I fear that since the bootloader is its own entity, that those that took the recent OTA had the TrustZone patched to the point where it cannot be written to period, even on a lower firmware. The best thing that could happen is for a miracle to occur and an exploit to be found to write to the TrustZone again.

Mine had the -11 error also but it also said status code 3 in the actually bootloader, Then I flashed CWM and that was it, now I have CM10.1.3 STABLE.

Hi guys, finally I've found a way to get the latest update 23.0.1.E.0.208 (4.4.4) without losing root on this tablet.
The method is the same as the method here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-creating-rooted-update-package-t2933155), but we will use the files for Xperia Z2 Tablet Verizon instead of files for Xperia Z2.
First, you MUST BE on an older version (17.1.D.0.437) with root and XZDualRecovery
You need these files:
1. New 23.0.1.E.0.208 update FTF file (you can use XperiFirm to get it)
2. PRFCreator v0.5.zip (I tried the later version v0.8 but it didn't work, so better to use v0.5)
3. Latest stable SuperSU update package
4. XZDualRecovery flashable patched version (in the attachment) (note that the original version from [NUT] will not allow you to mount system rw)
Then follows step 4 to 11 in the instructions in the above thread for Xperia Z2 and replace all the files for Xperia Z2 with the files you've just got.
Good luck!
thanks for this, will try it this week...

My internet connection sucks. It takes long to upload large files.
Trying to do this, however it seems we need a custom recovery already installed. Trying to install the XZDualRecovery from the installer file I downloaded but it just hangs at libdvm opened. Any other way to install a custom recovery so I can follow the rest of the guide to get my replacement tab rooted?

Sounds to me like you need to flash the old ftf first, then root and then install the custom recovery. Root only works on the older firmware linked above.

Got it working. I didn't know I had to have the unknown sources checked. Also I didn't realize I was plugged into a 3.0 port in the back of my PC, so that didn't help.
Now that I'm on the old version and rooted, I saw some people had success with updating to the newest update for VZW and keeping root. Can anyone else confirm this? I have TWRP and everything on my HTC, but my tablet I would rather not mess with it as much. The steps in this guide are pretty involved.

First off I just want to thank you for your hard and excellent work. I have been using MOAR for quite some time and it has been great. I am switching to the BS free ROM - it's almost exactly what I want. I was curious if you could add back the Samsung Email App with Exchange Support and also the S6 Keyboard. I have to run the standard email app for work, and could not find a seperate source to successfully install on BOG5. I was able to get the S6 Keyboard sepererately and installed, but who wants the ugly S5 KB preinstalled anyway?

I'm having issues. I flashed back to stock NCG, I've rooted, installed busybox, installed safestrap, installed flashfire v0.21, when I go to install the no BS 0G5 deodexed rom using flashfire. I do the following steps I select the firmware first then the rom finally the kernel. Once it flashes and finishes it just freezes at black galaxy s5 boot screen it stays there and doesn't do anything. I've checked all md5 checksums verified them again just to be sure they checked out correctly. I'm no noob I've been flashing roms and rooting since I had my Droid X back in the day. If you could point me in the right direction, your help would be greatly appreciated and thank your time.
Are you flashing the firmware as a zip or firmware package? The firmware flashable file includes the kernel, and it needs to be flashed as a zip, not a firmware package.

Try flashing the NCG kernel with Odin and see if you can boot into safe strap. If you can get into safe strap, then install the BOG5 kernal.zip.

I've been flashing the firmware as is, I'm not to sure how to select flash as a zip or package. I'm new to flashfire, I've always used odin.

Do you tap "Flash firmware package" or "Flash ZIP or OTA" when you select the firmware?
I select firmware for the firmware part

flashing back to stock yet again, this time i did the ota flash zip on each i selected rom first, firmware, kernel, lastly theme. it flashed everything but refuses to get past the black galaxy s5 logo it did something new this time it hangs and boots to recovery.
Your phone keeps bootlooping every time because you keep flashing it incorrectly. DO NOT flash it as a firmware package. DO flash it as a ZIP or OTA.
I will make it much more simple. Boot into safe strap, then tap install. Install BOG5 firmware, then install the BS free ROM. When the install is complete, tap wipe Dalvik/cache, then tap reboot. Then wait 7 minutes for your phone to boot into awesomeness.

Alright I'll do that now, thanks for your time. I really appreciate the help.
I've never had issues flashing the way I have been until earlier today.
Forgive me, I misread your last post. I see that you flashed as OTA last time. I haven't had any issues flashing with FlashFire, but I have heard of some people running into problems. Try using safestrap and following the steps I just posted. Also, you do not need to flash the kernel, because it is included with the firmware.

Alright I'm doing so now, I'll report back, thanks again!
I may know why you are running into issues now that you hadn't before. On previous builds, JK would use an actual firmware package and separate kernel. The BOE1 firmware contained a bootloader update that prevented downgrading, so it needed to be modified, and was no longer an official firmware package. Since then, he has made the firmwares flashable as a zip. You are probably familiar with the older method of upgrading the firmware, which is why you've never had an issue before.

Just reflashed and started fresh, now it's working and also the themes are aswell. No more issue's.
Looks like I've ran into another problem, wifi tether keeps getting force closes when trying to use foxfi tether app. Maybe i have to copy some files from a stock 0g5 ROM? Using the google deodexed version.

First off I just want to thank you for your hard and excellent work. I have been using MOAR for quite some time and it has been great. I am switching to the BS free ROM - it's almost exactly what I want. I was curious if you could add back the Samsung Email App with Exchange Support and also the S6 Keyboard. I have to run the standard email app for work, and could not find a seperate source to successfully install on BOG5. I was able to get the S6 Keyboard sepererately and installed, but who wants the ugly S5 KB preinstalled anyway?
Thanks!

How and what exactly did you do to get the S6 keyboard installed and working? I've tried and haven't had any luck. Also, it is the one with the emoji to the left of the spacebar right? Thank you in advance

U had luck with your request?

They told me they did when I requested the Vulkan api build. I also never requested a replacement not sure if that plays into their decision making.

Uh, yeah. The whole killswitch process only starts when you fire up your replacement tablet for the first time & set up an internet connection.
That is the ultimate reason why you put your radios to Airplane before flashing, and even before booting, you flash the remove TegraOTA zip file in TWRP.... heck, even a clean flash would be good too.

Removing the SIM if you've got the LTE version, clean flashing if using stock images & skipping the WiFi setup. Imo that's the best way to do it, you get all the time in the world to remove TegraOTA whichever way you're comfortable with.
It's honestly a bit sad that some people don't take the time to do this stuff properly.
Here is what I think happened: i had Recovery erased..you know why. So I were on stock with nethunter and suffered from random reboots. That's why I tried reflash it. Once the regular Recovery was installed i got Killswitch es ???*
NVM, just realized he did it through a manual flash, not OTA.
NVM again, I am bad at reading. So he flashed a recovery image then got the OTA after he rebooted. So again, why is Nvidia still pushing this update if they have known it was bricking devices since January.

Can you explain please all the steps you did until the kill? Ibinstalled 4.1 stock update from.nvidia site on my pyro. Before booting the os i deleted tegraota with the zip and erased recovery with fastboot. But i havent turned on the wifi yet.

Can you tell me please which version of xposed? Id like to unstall it. I also freezed with titanium almost all nvidia apps and services. If the kill switch is an update sent by nvidia servers, deleting tegra ota would be safe, and also the recovery, so nothing can be flashed. Did you check if the kill is triggered for your pyro?

So, if the kill is contained in the stock images and you were connected to internet while using the stock image, you would have been affected by the kill switch. But youbsay its working, so i think theres no kill in.the stocks

I installed 4.0.1 before the 4.1 and tablet worked (but never cinnected). Can you "system update" on your settings after flashing the nomoreota zip?

Its not green. Its the nirmal g updater. When.i.was stock 5.1.2 i deleted manually tegraota apk and "system update" on settings was disappeared. Maybe the g updater is another way to kill the tablet?

The latest Android 7 Nougat firmware for SM-T817w, a Canadian version of the Tab S2, is out.
I did an OTA yesterday morning and it is now on firmware T817WVLU3CQDA. There was an update right after and now it is on NRD90M.T817WVLU3CQDA.DM.
I odined the TWRP (twrp_3.1.0-1_sm-t810_13317.tar) and twrp flashed the SuperSU (SuperSU-2.79-201612051815.aip) right after. It has TRWP recovery and root without even a glitch.
It probably takes a few week before Sammobile posts this official firmware.
Is this compatible with the T817T T-Mobile version?
I don't think so. You have to wait till that for t817t is released.
Hey man can you post a nandroid backup so us other users can try to go this route until the OTA is posted?
thanks
Sure, here it is, a link to the nandroid backup for those who need it. Restore it with TWRP.

How does one install this?
I have TWRP, Rooted - installed rom manager, nandroid manager, busy box, all the dependencies - booted into recovery and when I click on restore, regardless of where it is (internal sd, external sd, external usb) no files are shown.. i've unzipped it to a folder etc..
Do I have to wipe out twrp and install clockwork mod instead?

Do this if you have room and time. This way you will know what to put where and how:
Do a backup in TWRP then look at the folder it created and you will have an epiphany

Lol thanks.. yes.. makes a bit of sense which is better than no sense.. who knew it had to be in TWRP/[long string of random numbers]/Backups
Its working now, except for a few things - I cannot transfer any files to the tablet via USB, there doesn't seem to be a developers option anywhere, I've lost the unified storage (damnit samsung..) and seems to have lost root.
Other than that, we're all good.
I flashed Magisk to root and you get dev option the same way... Just tap build 5 times. It is in a sub menu this time... Thank Samsung

Really! I also have a T-817w (here in Canada)... and I still haven't got the update. I'm full stock / never rooted, eh.
Any idea why I'm not seeing it, even when manually checking for the update? (Sammobile still doesn't have the update either.)
On Rogers still no Nougat as of today
