Hello Guyz

Will i have to install 4.2.2 to get another update of android 4.4.4 and then i will receive android 5.0 update ???

No, I believe you need to install 4.4.4 before updating to 5.0 because the update section in the Settings app will not detect Android 5.0 before updating to 4.4.4. Hope this answers your question!

so to get android 4.4.4.(stable version) , is it necessary to first install android 4.4.2 (unstable,already with many bugs) ?
since my tab is always showing android 4.4.2 downloaded and ready to install , is there any way i get android 4.4.4 to install directly (without flashing a factory image with fast boot) ?
Thankyou

4.4.2 does not have many bugs. After installing 4.4.2, then you can install 4.4.4 and then finally install 5.0.

Just fast boot the Latest stock image from Google to your device. NO Need to install update over update... You can also Do Custom recovery and Flash one of the many roms for the device. Including The new 5.0 Rom ..
its best to do clean install and not piling update on top update

His goal is to do it without fastboot, that's why I gave him the OTA method.

Is G900VVRU2BPB1 5.1 or 5.0?

Is G900VVRU2BPB1 5.1 or 5.0? Because Samsung said it should be running 5.1 but I uploaded and it was not so I think it did not update right. I am not sure... What about everyone else?

I think we've all been assuming for a while that verizon is going to jump us straight to marshmallow.
On the original leaked samsung marshmallow development document, the Verizon S5 was the only S5 listed and that was back in like November or something.
Oh and to answer your question, it's 5.0.

Android 7.0 Update

So Android 7.0 is out today for most of Nexus Devices, I wonder when can I get the update :/
Also, can anyone give me a like to the forum or thread that has Flashable Stock ROM 6.0.1 for MXP?
Thank you

At least December for India and maybe February for other countries. If you can't wait buy a Nexus.

So this is the question section?

So is it possible yet to root 6.0.1 and or unlock the boot loader for either 5.1.1 or 6.0.1?
I've been on 5.1.1 since the phone was released and since the new lg g6 is coming I might be moving to that if tgis phone isnt still rootable.
Thanks for letting me know!
Oh and im talkimg about the s6 edge plus at&t g928a.
I read something about an engboot?

This phone has had root for a long time now.
5.1.1, 6.0.1 and even the dev release of 7.0.
I'm not sure if the AT&T version is though.

Older G935V to newer G935U?

Ok so I rooted my Verizon phone 2 years ago and I'm still running 6.0.1 with G935VVRU2APE1, the security patch level is from June 1, 2016, yes I'm wayyy behind. I'd like to go to Nougat or Oreo if possible with a fresh start/data wipe. Not concerned with root atm.
Where do I start? I've read through a lot of forum pages but no one has a build as old as mine it seems. According to updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=SM-G935v (can't post proper link) the latest build for 6.0.1 is G935VVRU4API3. Can I go from APE1 to API3 without issue following "{GUIDE} Flashing the SM-935U firmware onto your Verizon S7 Edge and Rooting" or does it have to be a certain prior version?
From there will an OTA update or an official stock odin file get me to Nougat/Oreo? Thank you in advance!

I did upgrade my 6.0.1 V to 7.0 U. From there I got the OTA updates/upgrades to Oreo. You can get them faster if you use SmartSwitch on PC and phone.

Thanks for the reply. So do I go from my current build to the latest 6.0.1 (API3) or just go straight to the latest 7.0?

I would say you have to go to an official one first, using Odin.
