Battery optimization and security updates.
I see no difference at all between this new update and the previous one. Can somebody state the differences if there is any please?
Probably part of the new "monthly" update schedule for security fixes. It's only 150.55 MB. Looks like it fixed the most recent Stagefright vulnerabilities.

I believe they sent another update to handle the stagefright. This one claimed Battery improvements so we will test and see

I think OG5 was supposed to fix the stagefright vulnerabilities but it didn't, there were new vulnerabilities discovered which you can test for using stagefright detector. OJ6 takes care of the new vulnerabilities.

If this update is the same type of update the N5 got then no you can't "add" this ota to current roms. It is a very complex patch that envolves actually patching all of the system files in the rom. I would need somebody to pull the ota zip from their phone and upload it and i will be able to give you a definite answer. But I can almost guarantee this ota is in fact a patch and therefore will be impossible to use for dev purposes. Speaking from my experience with the N5 ota which i quickly learned upon extracting and looking at the ota zip for it.

only reasaon i asked is came from note 3. we had a small update that was able to be flashed over current setup. but im sure someone will grab it.
After update i can't flash recovery via odin . Stuck on stock until i figure this one out
Anyone else having horrible speeds like this? Before I could get at least 13 down and sometimes even over 20 but this is horrible. We got a new prl version with this update too so I don't know if that's why. Well for some reason I can't post a pic but I only got 4 down and not even 1 full Meg up.

To get the update zip do this. First you MUST be on the stock odexed OG5 rom. Next go to Settings | System update and check for updates or it may prompt you that an update is available automatically. simply download the update but DO NOT install it. Last, root your phone if you aren't already by odin'ing the latest TWRP recovery then flash a pre-rooted OG5 kernel in recovery and reboot. You will also need to flash the latest SuperSu binaries or download SuperSU from google Play and install it and then use that to install the binaries. Once you have proper root, use a root file browser (I recommend root explorer) and look in the root directory for a folder named "fota". The ota will be a zip file with a file name that is a mix of numbers and letters or it will be named "update.zip". It will be over 100mb in size. Copy that zip to your phone's internal storage or sd card and then upload that zip file and pm me the link. I will check it out. I'm pretty sure the update contains security updates that require "patching" the system files. This means the update.zip will be impossible to use for updating custom roms. We will have to wait for the tar ball.

I couldn't flash twrp recovery because it wouldn't work. I used cwm to get going again . The thing is i couldn't find it for sprint note 4 so i used a different model tar file not recommended unless you know what you doing . My touchscreen was not accurate after i flashed that recovery but i already knew it. I had to use dialer code *#2663# then i was rooted and back on custom rom.
Does this fix the damn crash to lock screen?

I usually don't take OTA updates if I have any plans of rooting or keeping root.
U.S. localized versions of the latest MEA/MF2 branch of Samsung official builds.
Check over in the i9505 threads for more info. It's possible some things have been tweaked for AT&T, but probably not a whole lot.
That update will probably allow app2sd functionality, not to mention the "purple smearing" effect some have complained of, and a few other little updates.
But as the other poster said, I wouldn't flash it until it's confirmed that it doesn't patch the loki aboot exploit. Otherwise, you can say goodbye to custom roms and root.

Unfortunately the update is FORCED. In mine there was no way to not accept it. If you hit cancel it just reboots and installs anyway. So not much choice on not taking it...
It does include app2sd though. Which is nice.

Only forced if you're completely stock and un-rooted.
At a bare minimum, you should root, and freeze the appropriate OTA update apps to prevent that kinda thing.
Again, AT&T will eventually patch the loki-exploit, and possibly at the same time roll out "root defeating" kernels.
It's just a matter of time.
There isn't an option but to be completely stock and unrooted with this phone yet unfortunately.

It seems the update will only download on wifi, so if you want to avoid taking it in hopes that root comes out soon, do not use wifi.

God dang it! I wish I read this thread BEFORE accepting the update. Now I really hope AT&T or Samsung has not patched anything that prevent root.
I cannot NOT use Wifi since I have very limited data plan...
Has it ever happen in the past, at least with AT&T phone, that they send OTA update that PREVENT rooting the phone EVER?
Don't fret. We have some mighty fine developers here. You will be able to root it.

LCD screens don't suffer from the purple smearing anyway. That's just something that AMOLED screens do. No way around it except to change the colors a bit. Which was all they did for the GS4.

I never took the update (I didn't connect to wifi so it didn't force me to update) but now I want to update it. However, when I hit the update button it tells me that 'the software update was interrupted' and won't download the new FW. If I hit it again it says I have to wait another 24 hrs. I tried changing the date to a day ahead but it still failed. I was able to update the wifes phone no problem but I accepted it as soon as it notified me.
Is the above link the current FW? I see the name is UCUAMF1 but mine came with UCUAMF2 from the store... I'd rather just update the FW since it appears everyone else got forced to update but can still root it.
Edit: Phone fixed itself overnight connected to wifi.

OTA for German Retail version from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 started to roll out finally.
Download:
http://d-h.st/gUF
The name of the file is Blur_Version.176.44.1.falcon_umts.Retail.en.DE.zip - as always - it is named after the firmware being updated not after the target one.
Were you on stock recovery but rooted when you got this OTA?
I got this Update today too.

You can always GET an OTA but you won´t be able to install it in some scenarios.
Your system partition has to be mostly untouched, but root and Xposed Framework won´t cause any problem. You can use stock or Philz Recovery.
Also got the update but the installation is failing due to unexpected changes to build.prop. I have removed xposed and anything else I can think of that may have changed the system partition but still no go.
Any ideas? Maybe someone could post their build.prop?
I'm also getting the update in The Netherlands. Bought my phone online amazon.de :laugh:

Yes, you have the right version of firmware for this OTA, don´t know why it´s failing for you, there´s too much variables, it´s hard to tell.
As to where the file I posted comes from - it´s right from my phone.

Why so sceptical? Apart from a different dialer GUI, there´s not much difference you can really feel on 4.4.4, basically there are just some bug fixes.

Perhaps you need to uninstall and remove the modules and the xposed from the system before updating. Xposed and the modules add / modify system files and other sources in the device. Make sure you unroot as the last step as well. Stock recovery is required to install the OTA successfully

Hi again,
I installed the upgrade assistant in installer mode but for some reason it is not picking up the new NE9 update on my computer. See attached print screen. Very strange.. It sees the update on my phone to download though.:cyclops: Do you know why this is and how I can get it to see the update on the upgrade assistant as you mentioned?
Kind Regards
Can you explain why you want the update so bad? You do realize that rooting and accepting official otas is completely contradictory, correct? OTAs are generally what fix things like what towelroot exploits. If you accept official OTA, you will likely lose root.
But can't I just re root after the ota? I guess the reason I want the Ota because I heard of camera enhancements and stability fixes

No. OTA have patches for known security flaws as well. The flaw that towelroot relies on is closed after the new OTA. Meaning, no more root.
edit: in this case I believe folks have figured out a work around for keeping root with the update. In general though, if you value root and what it provides you do not accept official releases.

If you're not in the Beta program itself, I'd say there's 98% chance no as the update is tied to your Samsung account. The OP states that he'll upload any future Beta updates, though. Of course, you'll always be able to flash the official Oreo build once it's released (probably without wiping data.)

Probably, since the account and Beta are tied to your IMEI. If not, you can flash back to unlocked and upgrade again. You won't lose your Beta status unless you leave the program.

This is simply a system dump and doesn't contain the bootloader and modem. We'd need the full OTA for those and we can't get them without root. As you've probably noticed, even the gurus at Sammobile haven't posted it yet because it'd be EXTREMELY difficult to catch the OTA even over your own network. I was able to post my Band 46 screenshot because I'm actually in the Beta program.

This is simply a system dump and doesn't contain the bootloader and modem. We'd need the full OTA for those and we can't get them without root. As you've probably noticed, even the gurus at Sammobile haven't posted it yet because it'd be EXTREMELY difficult to catch the OTA even over your own network.

Wait, is Band 46 enabled on this 7.x.x update, or only on Beta 8.0?

Only beta 8. Running latest 7.x update with Oct security patch and 46 is not enabled.
Apart from wifi-calling and the usual Tmo stuff, is what's the difference between this and the U1 Oreo firmware?

Beat me to it. Folks, this is just a system dump. Unfortunately, without root, I cannot access the Cache partition, which is where the OTA zip file is stored.
I'm posting system dumps to encourage anyone and everyone to dig through. Hopefully we can find an exploit or some tidbit. I never bothered with the sampawn. While I am very grateful for the time, effort, and energy that went into that root, it's not a true root. When Oreo drops we're back to ground zero.
WHAT'S DIFFERENT:
- Polish: That's partly Google. Partly Samsung. Battery battery life. Things open faster. Etc. And I dirty flashed too.
- Battery Life: Took my phone off charger 16 hours ago and I have 40% left. Screen time 3hr. I heavily rely on my phone every day. Team communication apps, research, navigation, etc. No games. Could be different.
- PiP: Awesome. I had Navigation open earlier today and switched to Music to change songs, a little floating window with my navigation opened. PiP works with Google Maps!
- Band 46: Hasn't been fully initialized in my area, but signals are definitely much more stable.
- WiFi: More stable. I can reach 5G band at further distances. Likely just cleaned up code that's making these work better.
- Small UI changes, such as people edge is more glassy.
Oreo is well worth the patience. I'm only encountering small bugs here and there. It's very stable. So I'd say, maybe Xmas we'll have Oreo. Could be wishful thinking, but I'm hella impressed. This **** is smooth. Only thing I hate is the stupid emojis are the same as before.

You should post it just in case someone knows how to do it.

I would upload it Like I normally do, but know one was able to figurere it out last year for the Galaxsy s7 edge.
@tengtengvn and I tried to figure it out. You can see the forum here.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/direct-link-nougat-update-t3510467
I have been looking into the the S8+ Ota and noticed
Code:
patch/system/bin/tinycap.p.,.ÓõSBDIFF10×.
SBDIFF. If we can figured out how they SBDIFF the OTA against the 7.0/NRD90M/G955USQU1AQHD firmware. we may be able to flash it.
I also noticed the OTA .bin file has to zip files concatenated together. the first zip only has one file in it called metadata and it is just text.
Code:
ota-type=FILE
post-build=samsung/dream2qltesq/dream2qltesq:8.0.0/OPR1.170623.026/G955USQU1ZQJJ:user/release-keys
post-timestamp=1509361774
pre-build=samsung/dream2qltesq/dream2qltesq:7.0/NRD90M/G955USQU1AQHD:user/release-keys
pre-device=dream2qltesq
If some people show interest I may upload it.
Can Someone make a Stock Rom for the VS995 for TWRP
or point to a guide that allows you to update to the latest system files and security patches.
Verizon started rolling out Vs99519A recently and for what ever reason I cant update my system past (15a) and keep root using kdz writer
Still waiting on the kdz for 19a. AlphaRom is close to stock and it's built off 18a
i95swervin said:
As far as I know there is no public kdz file for vs995 19a. If you see one let me know, I'll build it.
You can update to my rom its based off of stock vs995 18a.

Just force closes. I appreciate the feedback.

my bad I must of forgot to add it in. I will redo the installer and add that in. Also I have succesfully pulled the system from the 19a ota update. A update for alpha rom will be releasing soon.

Thanks for doing that. I know that is probably a pain considering the 19A KDZ isn't out yet. Looking forward to it!
Has anyone updated to The latest update VS9951AA

Yes, last night, Happy Valentine's Day to me and my phone!
So far the update appears as "Mostly Harmless" it's billed as security fixes.
After installing the phone didn't melt, brick, explode, rip, snort, farkle nor fall apart so, again, "Mostly Harmless."
I updated yesterday also, and can not find anything new or different? Other than my phone is really slow for about 10 minutes after the update/reboot, then it runs fine.
Not much info on the internet other than security update.
Still no antirollback on this latest update (VS9951AA)???
Just received an update tonight from Verizon.
Running Alpha 1aa....I blocked the update just passing the info along.
