OTA marshmallow BL unlock - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General

So I don't know how to be patient and flashed back to loli to get the Ota... Is there a way to unlock the bootloader on the 6 Ota yet?

No, but you can downgrade back to lollipop from it, I've heard.

So flash back, unlock, flash 6 with Odin?

There isn't yet a safe upgrade available. Until then, I don't think you'll be able to have stock marshmallow and unlocked bootloader at the same time.

upgrading firmware

With all the 0% battery issue should I be worried about upgrading my firmware to latest uk update when its out?
I have unlocked bootloader and normally root the phone via recovery. If I upgrade to 2.3.4 and then root with same method can anything happen? Im really worried about getting same issue.
Or is this only for locked bootloaders?
Follow this to a T and you should be fine - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274572

Just flash both of THESE then.

Phone wont update to 4.2.2

My phone downloads the update but the install fails, im also trying to obtain root. I have gotten rid of some bloatware, could that be the problem if so what needs to be on the phone for the update to take?

If you don't unlock your bootloader on 182/183.46.10, future system updates will close any loopholes to gaining root and unlocking your bootloader. - You have been warned!
Once your bootloader is unlocked, it can not be re-locked - Say goodbye to any warranties you may have.
Once your bootloader is unlocked, you can accept any and all firmware updates.
In order to receive and install System Updates you will need to be using 100% stock untouched firmware. (Stock system & recovery)
You can not downgrade with a locked bootloader. You can only flash current or updated firmware.

Well... you have 3 options.
1. You can flash your current firmware and then OTA to the KitKat firmware.
2. Flash the KitKat firmware with RSD Lite.
3. Stay where you are and skip the update.
Is your bootloader unlocked?
If it's not I suggest that you flash the .10 firmware and unlock your bootloader. (It has to be the .10 firmware only to root and unlock the bootloader)

[Q] Can't update to KitKat

So, I got this phone and it's running 4.1.2 (System version 98.18.78.XT907.Verizon.en.US) and I wanted to upgrade to KitKat but when I check for updates it says it's already up to date. What do I need to do to get the KitKat update?

Thanks! It worked
Even with locked bootloader?
Can I do the update to KitKat with a locked BL? I'm on the same 98.18.78 as the op and I have root on my otherwise stock 4.1.2 JB xt907.

yes you can update with locked bootloader, you can not downgrade with locked bootloader.
see [GUIDE][FAQ][KK] How to Root, Boot Unlock & More
I believe best option is flash VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-10.1_1FF.xml.zip with RSD Lite then unlock bootloader
do not use VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_1FF.xml it can not be unlocked at this time
WORKING!!! Thanks y'all!

Flashed VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-10.1_1FF.xml.zip with RSD Lite; file 15 which was system.img didn't want to load & kept telling me "fail" but I did NOT exit the Fastboot mode (don't like expensive bricks), I just kept trying until it worked on a different USB port.
Got root via towelroot.apk & then unlocked bootloader using motoapocalypse.apk.
Install TWRP recovery from http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/51942-recoverytwrp-2800/
Installed my apps & made a backup.
Works like a charm; thanks!

Thank you for updating to the unlockable version and taking advantage of it. Too many people ignore the warnings that .15 is not unlockable and beg for an unlock... Not gonna happen! Happy Flashing!

It is nobody's responsibility to notify you when root is achieved on MM. It is YOUR responsibility to check back in the forums and do a little searching and reading to find out if root has been achieved on MM.

If I'm on stock 6.0.1, how to go about downgrading re-unlocking my BL and then getting rooted MM? I was unlocked prior, but locked to take the OTA...

I've done it before. You can.
Was on MM, and downgraded to PB1, got root, unlocked bootloader, went back to MM and currently running Phoenix rom. It can be done.. Search the forums.. The info is there..

Hey I've just been browsing the forums and catching up on all the new stuff. Last time I was here there was no hope of a bootloader unlocked. I finally upgraded from kit Kat and unlocked mine. I want to try some MM Roms but I'm not sure how to get back to LP then?? Is there a way to get back and keep root? Or would I have to go back to completely stock pb1 and root and start over. Thanks

Doing updates after bootloader unlock?

I am currently asking myself if it is smart to update my phone after the bootloader unlock and before flashing a customer rom. Will I get newer camera (etc.) firmware or will I just loose the bootloader unlock?

Updating after a bootloader unlock will keep the bootloader unlocked, No worries there. Just be sure to follow the exact steps for flashing the custom ROM

You mean not to use OTA updates after bootloader unlock, right? Will OTA relock the bootloader?

No, you can take OTA's after unlocking boot loader, it will not relock automatically.
