One Thread For Update Results

Mostly, I'm making this for me, so I don't have to keep skipping through the various update threads we have now, so post how it went for you here, please!
And include what setup you updated from, whether fully stock, stock rooted, still customized, etc....

OTA_Supersonic_4.22.651.2-3.70.651.1_releasefd659qys0dtscpjv
THIS WILL MOST LIKELY TAKE AWAY YOUR ROOT

This is mainly for the brains here on XDA to ROOT for us.

That's just lame....
I'm thinking that when the OTA for the Moment came out going from 1.5 to 2.1, there were a few later updates that added some features. ie v.CL14 to v.DI06 to v.DI18 to finally v.DJ07.
How an OS update wouldn't have an updated version of Sense, when we KNOW 2.1 works on these phones is baffling

[Q] Questions about rooting my Galaxy S4

Hello, I have a few questions about rooting my Samsung Galaxy S4.
I want to root to enable some hidden CSC features, edit the hosts file and to install an adblocker.
Not to install an custom ROM.
But I have a few questions.
Do I still get OTA updates after rooting my device?
And what happens after I update, do I lose root, are those CSC features and the hosts file resetted, and is the adblocker uninstalled?
I am currently running the latest version of Samsung.
Information about my device:
Model number: GT-I9505
Android version: 4.3
Baseband version: I9505XXUEMKF
Kernel version: 3.4.0-2082040, [email protected] #1, Wed Nov 27 22:04:32 KST 2013
Build number: JSS15J.I9505XXUEMKF
SE for Android status: Enforcing, SEPF_GT-I9505_4.3_0018
Secure boot status: Type: Samsung
And under status I see "Device status: Official".
Thanks.

I'd like to know this as well. I've got no interest in flashing ROM's or anything like that, just need root to run a few Apps I use. How does this affect updating, and can it be easily rolled back for warranty purposes?
Thanks for any help.

Oh yeah, and do you keep warranty?
We in the Netherlands have a law that the warranty does not get voided if you root it.
Dutch law said:
If the failure of a phone is not the direct result of the rooting or jailbreaking, the warranty remains valid, even if the terms of the seller states that it is not the case.

This is the development section. The Q&A section is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/help
That said, I don't understand your question. Your device is a T-mobile LG G2 (D801). I have basically the same info as you but your baseband version ends with 36 and mine ends with 34. I'm also on the latest version so my Software version is: D80110g. I bought my device in the US.

Unable to root SM-G900V S5 Verizon

Hello. I have used this forum many of times and have found great info on rooting. But I am stumped on this. I have
Verizon Galaxy S5

Android Version: 4.4.4

Hardware Version: G900V.05
I tried to use towelroot.com and when I tap the sign, all I get is sent to another page with a bunch of visual code. No make it rain, no nothing. Then I downloaded Odin, unzipped the file, did not see a .tar file anywhere and when I put my phone into download mode, connect it to my computer, my device does not show up in the accept box. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or there isn't a rootable way for my device yet. Any information will help. Thanks

Solution.

I have the same exact build number and I managed get my handset stuck in a recovery bootloop. I ODIN back to stock. Back to square one. At least I didn't brick it.

I dont have a g900v, but laat i checked they were in almoat identical boats as the g900a, and last i checked for us, theres no way to root lollipop or downgrade or anything, so the reason you are unable is because you cant.

Thanks. I'll stop trying. It would be insane to fire up ODIN again and flash something older, when they have already patched the stuff. I just wanted 'root', sigh.

I take back my previous post, after poking around in the verizon section it seems all hope is not lost, i recommend having a read over is the verizon galaxy s5 section, your question is more likely to be answered there.

I dont think you can if you are already on 5.0, if you were rooted on 4.4.2 you could but if you werent youre stuck.

I had to flash 4.4.4 on top of 5.0 before doing anything else. Here's the process.

Your problem lies where mine does. Depending on the baseband version you have, means that the bootloader may or may not have an exploit available to allow root etc.
For him, the OA8 version allows a root method. As for you, on OC4 as well as the one I have, OG5, is un rootable as far as I know. At least for right now.
If you require, tethering, mobile Hotspot (if you have unlimited data like me), call recording, ad blocking etc. These things are still possible without root on your Verizon s5. I made a post about it a few pages back. However these are the programs I use for those things while we wait for root .
No root is required for these apps to work properly on the Verizon galaxy s5. They all have free trials but a couple require purchase for full functionality. Money well spent imo.
"Call Recorder" by Skvalex - call recording & management ($8
"PDANET" or "FoxFi" (PDANET includes foxfi) - for tethering & wifi Hotspot ($7)
"Block It!" - VPN ad blocking service. (Free but not available on Google play)

This worked for me

Sm-g900v rootable bootloaders?

[Q] Not sure if I can re-root

Hello,
I have a Verizon SM-G900V,
Version: 4.4.4
baseband: G900VVRU1ANK7
Kernel Version: 3.4.0 [email protected] #1
Build number: KTU84P.G900VVRU1ANK7
Hardware: G900V.05
And I had my phone rooted but the updates kept popping up and I wasn't sure how to disable them. I have platinum backup but I just read about "Freeze" option. Unfortunately, I can't use it anymore because I don't have root access. I think my phone partially updated, for the 5.0. It did restart and optimize some settings but I can't use the playstore anymore, and I don't have any SuperSu.
I'm not sure if I should just go ahead and update it since I don't have any other option to use the play store, or is it possible if i can just re-root it based on the 4.4.4?
This was my 1st time rooting it, I used to have an iPhone so I tried to supply as much info as I could.
Thanks!
