You must flash root like the first time

So flash newest software via Odin then re-use CF-auto root?

This might help while flashing stock rom but avoiding not wipe the data. Not tested by myself in my 935FD as I only read it yesterdays AFTER flashed it from beginning (and getting tired of it).. however this method might cause trouble to XPosed nice modules like XTouchWiz

So its slowly rolling out?
Should I jump to German Firmware or wait for Australia?
But going German will wipe my device right? and Australia wouldnt
I also don't know if SmartSwitch software will allow to update with root.. just reading about it myself.
It seems to be rolling out but I guess it depends on countries... Like always...
Well the main problems I usually get is with Xposed, that require clean state phone... with s6 was ok though. If you don't use it it could be fine...
You know how is it, clean wipe will make phone literally 0 flaws while with wipe something can come up while you just spend half hour configuring it, but you know you always spend 3 hours+ re-configuring the phone to your liking from a clean state.... I guess everyone on this forum had a issue with this decision but in the end we all end up spending more time looking to the phone than we should. ahah

we love re-configuring phones, if you have a rooted phone, you will reconfigure it at least 3 times a month. haha
im jumping Germany firmware as they seem to get the latest OTA, gonna go germany so later on I wont have to wipe, but im worried about the radio 4G/3G would that affect it?

The problem with OTA is that they build over and over time you get a slower phone usually... with root you loose OTA anyway, so it was that excuse I used to myself for rooting my s7 edge the day I bought it
Shouldn't affect the radio but double check it due to CSC

I tried to flash the new rom from UAE with a modified HOME_CSC but after sucess flashing it got stuck at boot... However I used a firmware for UAE this time, despite being OJV. SO ended up with a clean phone again... so I'm not sure if I did it with a TUR rom like my original it would be ok or if I did something wrong while creating the tar file with cygwin. Notice that both are OJV.
as for root:
Most likely you need to flash it again... I just flash TWRP image trough odin and then superuser... however I found that after booting in need to go back again to twrp and format everything again except /system otherwise I get problems with Xtouchwiz module
How to update to a newer firmware with TWRP flashed?
Is it possible without a full wipe?
No one has an answer for it? I wanna know it too.
I hope there is a way without full wipe.

I've just installed the latest firmware for the TabPro 8.4; KOT49H.T320XXUBOC1. Disappointingly, it's still 4.4.2 which makes me wonder if we'll ever see a L-pop upgrade. I've only been running it for a half-hour or so but can't notice any difference. I'll report back if there any major problems.

IPTV or torrent tv, normally plays through mx player ?. Was a bug, half of the screen black

That firmware is just for the UK, which I believe went to NI1 last fall about a month before the U.S. went to NK1.
I don't know that I'd read a lot into it. If anything, they could be getting UK firmware better aligned with other locations for a smoother universal upgrade to 5.
Edit: Okay, looks like it's indeed out now for the U.S., too. Still hoping it's progress towards a Lollipop upgrade.
So does anyone actually know what changes this update brought? I was having some issues with my tab pro 8.4 missing touches, i 1st noticed it during gaming but was able to replicate it with display tester multitouch test.
It seems to be fine now, i thought for sure it was a hardware defect but now I'm not so sure. Anyone else in a similar position as me?

Just finished updating and was very disappointed that it's still 4.4.2, I didnt check this forum beforehand so was hoping for a nice surprise.
I hope we see official 5.0 for our devices...
Still. Nothing here! Will we ever get lollipop?

I'm in the process of trying to line up everything to do this. My update that pushed through took me to T320UEU1AOC1. I haven't located the extracted US kernel file for that and unfortunately don't know how to pull it from my current build. Sammobile has an AOC1 file noted as Cellular South and the build time is same date as mine but different timestamp. Anyone know if that would work to get me back to my current build and keep my US region?

Could you put the steps I need in order to what you did here?
I have the Romanian version of the updated ROM on a T325.
The biggest issue I have noticed is with the light sensor, with the previous ROM the auto setting worked smoothly, now with the new ROM the screen doesn't fade continuously. Whenever I turn on the screen the brightness just switches from a higher to a lower setting or inversely (without smooth fading and with lag), also the screen flickers horribly when it detects a change so I can't use the auto anymore.
The second issue is with the Samsung keyboard with learning disabled, in a Facebook floating chat window I tried to respond to someone and the keyboard would auto complete with empty words and after every word I had to delete the word before to be able to write the next word. I had to re-enable the learning to get rid of this very annoying problem.
I will try to downgrade to the previous ROM and root it with towelroot and say goodbye to any future official Samsung updates. Samsung has the ****tiest update developers, actually I had the same problem with the auto light setting (but not so serious) with the ROM which was before the good one.
By the way, if Lollipop comes DON'T UPGRADE. Lollipop on S5 sucks bigtime, the phone has major issues, android eats more battery than the screen.
Stick with the previous ROM, for me it was the most flawless one. I might try a cache wipe on the current ROM but I doubt it has anything to do with the screen flickering.

After losing root when I took the T320UEU1AOC1 update, I was able to flash the T320 kernel in this thread then use Towelroot again. I did have to reboot, even though it told me I wouldn't need to. I uninstalled and reinstalled SuperSU (hit cancel when I got the SuperSU notice about Knox) and verified root with Root Checker Basic. Then installed the AOC1 kernel. I still have root and Knox is not tripped. (KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0; KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0)
Hi there, I bought a Verizon S7 Edge in El Paso, TX. Currently Im working in México, unlocked the Phone and have Telcel as my carrier.
My s7 is with the PB5 firmware and I know that isnt the most actual firmware. Is there anything I can do to get the OTA updates? I dont want to flash via ODiN that will erease all my data and settings.
Greetings
Enviado desde mi SM-G935V mediante Tapatalk
I don't think so. Since Verizon rarely updates the firmware, I'd say just flash and be done. I recently got an s7 edge and was on the previous firmware as you and the touchscreen sensitivity was incredibly high. The PD2 firmware fixed this to a large degree. The PD2 firmware will automatically install a new package called DTIgnite. This in turn installs games and an AOL app I believe. Simply uninstall those apps and disable DTIgnite in Application Manager.

I have the latest firmware here you can flash with Odin. You can load either the HOME_CSC or the CSC_VZW file in the CSC slot. Home will not wipe data and CSC_VZW will.

As of 10/26, Sprint rolled out the latest firmware for G930P (Galaxy S7), G930PVPS4APJ2. I have been searching everywhere since then and it has been 3 days without any luck. Since by mistake I loaded the G930U's API3 with the latest bootloader 4 and I am not able to downgrade to any of the older G930P firmwares. The worst part is that it also destroyed my factory SIM unlock. I want to go back to the G930P firmware and request to have it unlocked again. Someone please help. If this firmware is not yet available for downloading yet, any idea normally how long it takes from the day a firmware is rolled out until it is available on the web for downloading?
Thanks in advance for any help or info.
I'm glad someone posted this. I tried downgrading so I could root my S7 but it failed and now I'm assuming the only way to fix it is to flash stock firmware.
Has anyone had any luck getting the firmware for PJ2?

Search for SamFirm. It's an executable you launch on Windows and search for the firmware for your model and region you need and download it. It's the quickest I have seen so far.
This... I also need. Stuck until I get it. Bahhhhhh I don't like the s7 after 4 days. Didn't realize these updates pushed new bootloader version. Trying to build a ROM here... Dafuq?!?!?! -.-"

Do i have to flash these files in a certain order? or all at once? And, do I use the HOME_CSC or the CSC file?
Edit: **** yeah! I flashed the BT, AP, CP, and HOME_CSC all at once in Odin v3.11.1 and it didn't wipe data, just updated my phone to PH7. I am now updating via OTA to PJ2.

You're supposed to flash all at once... Careful going to PJ2 though. bootloader version changes... And they haven't released flashable firmware for PJ2. I found a workaround flashing some U firmware (PI3) with new bootloader 4. Here's the link i went to. And i might add this is a worst case scenario. There's no going back due to the 7's locked bootloader. Of course this is only if you brick your current PJ2 somehow. Which i managed. Developers at work! Anyhow, wish you luck on PJ2, and i'll start development on it (depending on the nougat drop date) once i get a firmware release. Cheers!

*Long post incoming...
The OTA update to PJ2 went fine, no problems. Currently running smooth. My initial issue was I was previously rooted, and decided to go back to stock. When I went back to stock I flashed the PG1 firmware but it wasn't from Sammobile. I downloaded all the firmware files separately from an XDA post that the root post linked too (big mistake). I then didn't flash them all at the same time, and I don't think I flashed the HOME_CSC file, just the CSC one. It went fine and everything but when PH7 dropped everytime I tried to OTA update to PH7 it would fail at 32% every time during the bluescreen/android guy screen. I'm not sure what's being checked at 32% to why it failed there, but my guess was that the files I flashed did something that was invalid and the updating process wouldn't continue becuase of a validation issue, probably from flashing just CSC file and not HOME_CSC file, just a guess.
After I flashed PH7, I was so happy my data wasn't wiped, and was also happy when PJ2 updated just fine. Though I was bummed, I thought PJ2 was the Nougat update...
You're a life-saver dude! And, thanks for the website you gave me to download the firmware, took like 15min to download a 2.5GB file, compared to 5 hours when downloading from Sammobile and other sites. Thanks a bunch!
I had an S2 and S5 for 2 years each before the S7 and damn were those easy to root and flash ROMs/Mods on. Damn locked bootloader! The one thing I think Samsung fcked up on with this phone. I should have waited for the Google Pixel... I'm with Sprint (obv) and re-newing my contract I get a discount off the phone, and having an unlimited data family plan, plus a discount on my bill for where I work made me stay and renew my contract with Sprint.
What exactly are you working on? A way to unlock the bootloader, an easy way to root (the current way is tedious and laggy), or a ROM? I'm interested.

Glad you got squared away... I'm not really working on much. Just going to Mod a Stock ROM again, to start. I'm probably not the guy who will figure out custom recovery on the phone. lol But I'm going to dive into some documentation on the topic, and get acquainted. That's a far reach, though. I just don't see a lot of support or development for this phone series. So I want to put some stuff out there. Maybe even slim down and automate the rooting process. (Think SkipSoft Android Toolkit)
I don't know. Any ideas or requests are always welcomed.

If you're on the latest (PJ2) stay right where your are. There's no going backwards from there with the release on bootloader 4. You need to wait out the PJ2 firmware release.
I have a g930a with the basband version G930AUCS4APK1 and I have done all OTA updates.
Is it still rootable? Am I on the new bootloader?
Root???

go to the root thread, follow the instructions and give it a shot. That's really the best way to find out...just make sure you have the APK1 firmware on standby in case it doesn't turn out well.

Pretty much this. Backup files you don't want to lose, download the stock Odin files, and give rooting a shot. Worst case, you just gotta flash stock back via Odin. You may be able to flash an earlier firmware via Odin and root from there. Though I doubt Odin would let you. If I were you, I'd download all the applicable files, backup my data, wait until I've got a good chink of time ithat I don't need my phone and start playing around with it. I had all sorts of complications rooting mine s{ I was phone-less for like an hour

Update 12/6/16
I downgraded to the U firmware (G930UUEU4API3) following the steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/g930uueu4api3-firmware-download-t3481159
I then rooted using Max Lee's directions and I have root! Haven't tried rooting directly from APK1 firmware
I successfully rooted my G930AUCS4APK1 using princecomsy how to.

I'm still trying to learn the nomenclature....so, i'm assuming by the PK1 one part of the version that it is new than PI3?
Just wasn't sure about UUE part. Sorry, noob in this dept.
But, wanted to at least share that I had successful root with OP baseband.
Now to figure out how to make the battery last more than 10hrs and respond a little quicker.
The V15 fix hasn't seem to do much in comparison to stock OTA.
Hope this helps.

(for the others that may not know too)
The last three characters of the release are the ones that matter.
* The P indicates the year (P=16th letter of the alphabet, 2016)
* The K indicates the month (K=11th letter of the alphabet, November)
* The 1 represents the release number (to allow for more than one release each month)
Keep in mind that once you flash a newer firmware on the S7, you cannot go back to an older one. Odin will not let you flash it. Even if you could, it would most likely trip the KNOX flag.
Hi everyone,
So, around 2 months ago here on XDA, I saw a thread about OneUi 2.0 beta. In the thread they explained a way to get the beta firmware using ADB / SD CARD method.
So I followed the guide and I installed every update where it came. After a while of updates, there was this final stable release update! So I flashed it like all other updates.
Now, my question is, will I get official updates? Or am I stuck at this build, if so, how do I get out of it? What do I need to flash, and will I lose my data?
I hope anyone can help me with this,
Kind regards,
Crewz
Yes, you shold get the normal OTA-Updates. If not, you can flash the software with your CSC via Odin, when it's released. But you have to use the Home_CSC to keep your Data.
But now the January-Patch is only avaliable in Switzerland. You will have to wait a few weeks for the Update.

I installed the Swiss yesterday, downloaded through Frija, works fine. I have nordic CSC but downloaded Swiss CSC.
Today I got security update from January, so I guess my updates are working, and I don't need to do anything?
Perfect. Today the January Update was released in many Markets, and you will get any further Updates without Problems
