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.

Right. Thus my statement that we don't have a choice but to take the update on the S4 Active (right now at least).

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.

First, plug phone into computer, and install updater software from the phone that is on the device in 'Installer Mode'. Take the download on the PC, then follow directions below, and you can still have root after.

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.

@ks3rv3rg I believe the links mentioned above provide a workaround for the Root to be kept after updating.
As for the problem nick, I can't help you there. I haven't personally take it as I see taking OTA's is silly with a rooted phone you can modify to be much more. Perhaps someone else who has done it will chime in...
Thank you both for your perspectives.. Plus, I can always just wait for a ROM that currently has the update installed.

Titanium Backup
Hi guys i have g900f in the UK and i am on KK 4.4.2 Rooted with stock rom. Today i received a software update message, i went to software update and its showing me a update package of 194mb and its giving me the option to download it however i am rooted with towel root and knox 0x0.
Any ideas of this update? If i do it, would it wipe away my root? I have left a screen shot below. Thanks
Sent from my SM-G900F using xda premium
In all probability it will update the device to Lollipop. .....and that WILL remove your root access.
The only thing that is preventing me from being certain of the fact is the size of the download....194 Mb is very small considering a full LP firmware is somewhere in the region of 1.36 Gb.....
Do you have a reason for staying on KK or is it just that you haven't had an opportunity to upgrade to LP before today?
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
There is no Lollipop within Europe, until beginning of May.
Any phones it should have all latest security patches at any cost.

I like Kitkat as you can root it with Towel and have Knox 0x0. My warranty expires in August, so i am generally waiting for the official Marshmallow update, then i will upgrade the software to it.
Its werid how i got that update notification, because i restarted my phone earlier and checked again for updates, and it told me my device is modified and cannot update now. Maybe it was a glitch, but i am certainly not updating it to lollipop

Yes if you have root access every one remotely has root access to your own phone too.

While I am just a industrial electrician playing with motors , cables, and electronics, even so I am also aware of what is: Remote hijacking of a Smartphone.
Samsung security patches and lollipop (By Samsung) both are additional added shields against all sort of hijacking, due apps, remote access or direct unauthorized access.
So apparently our phone is vulnerable to a newly founded exploit being dubbed "Quadrooter" that allows for privilege escalation. Do any of you think that this could lead to root on marshmallow if used right?

Saw this today. Curious to know as well. Not that this might be any use for me anymore as I'm still waiting to see if LG will fix my bootloop issue.

That's unfortunate. I fear it may be any day for me. We're there any signs before it hit the hay?
I am curious how they claim to be able to gain root access on multiple phones running marshmallow. DM Verity in the kernel is supposed to stop a phone with modifications from voting, so I am not sure how it's supposed to work, unless it's only some form of temp root. Kind of corps of this will be the next 'towel root'. Probably not, but I could hope I guess.
I have the ATT model and would love rooted MM. Hopefully this vulnerability can be used to our benefit.
I hope my H815t could be rooted by that
I have H815T and it's rooted, bootloader is unlocked and running Genysis 4.3 with G5 theme.
But I found the four vulnerabilities in my phone too.
What to do now?

The vulnerabilities are because your processor (Qualcomm Snapdragon). So, you can't do anything until LG implement arrangements in an update (OTA, KDZ).

You must flash a KDZ (for your G4 model) with LGUP. You'll lose root access, and OTA updates will be enabled. Or you can wait, and flash the KDZ with the fixes.

Actually I have a stock marshmellow rooted rom which I flashed it a day ago and OTA updates are enabled on that.
Another question, where do the updates store? On rom or some where in the recovery partition etc?
Why I'm asking this, I like Genysis rom so if I restore my device to Stock rooted 6.0 and get the air updates in september etc, will the updates remain on the device if I flash the rom(back to Gynesis)?

You can't apply a official OTA with a rooted device without a error.
And the updates are in the firmware (aka ROM), so if you change de ROM, you will lose all updates.
What to do?
Install drweb antivirus for check apps before install.
This is the unic risk i found.

It appears to be a boot.img update. Flashfire rejected it as a safe OTA and I proceeded to freeze System Updates with Titanium Backup to eliminate future notifications. A bootloader update for sure.
Hopefully someone can tell if it's locking the bootloader down to prevent downgrading or the bootloader unlock method. Is there a way to freeze the update prompts if I'm not rooted yet? Just got the phone and haven't had a chance to unlock and root this bad boy.

buy package disabler. it is well worth the $1 price tag
Use Debloater, then freeze SDM.apk.

I'm relatively new here, with regard to uploads. I am on a vzw Note 4, running Jasminerom 7.0, with an unlocked bootloader. I don't even have an SDM, as it wasn't present on the ROM, however I found a post for shutting off Samsung updates that required shutting off two system update modules, and one or two other software and security modules. I'm beginning to think Samsung is in collusion with the carriers to make our phones obsolete, and prevent further mods. If you let me know how and where to upload to you, I can send you the file, if you still want it.
