Great point.

I just did the update, and I had no problems re-rooting it.

Do you still can downgrade to lollipop?

I haven't tried, so I don't know. The update said something about not being able to downgrade, but I don't know if it actually locks it or not.

Try to flash it in odin, then as soon as your phone reboots hold vol +, home, and power. See if that will let you boot into TWRP

Already did that
Boots into stcok recovery0

S7 Edge Root Texting

All,
I have tried the fixes and the BS Free ROM for my GS7 Edge while rooted and nothing seems to fix the issue with receiving texts while the screen is off. Making a call to kickstart the sms service is the only way that works. Does anyone know of a more tried and true method to fix this problem? Thanks in advance.

Factory reset to stock firmware fixed it for me when I was rooted

Would returning to stock firmware lose my root status?

You can't because of the different in the bootloader PG1 is V3 and PD7 is V2. If you try it your phone will be stuck and then you will have to reodin PG1 or higher for it to work.

Uuuh attempted to root but failed so the build number changed but it fixes itself

Issues upgrading to 6.2

I have a 2015 16GB version that's running stock rooted ROM. I've never had issue with OTA upgrades in the past but 6.2 doesn't install.
It goes through the process but doesn't seem to upgrade because it keeps prompting me to upgrade.
I believe that the issue is because of root. So I would like to know if there is an easier way of unrooting and getting OTA instead of going completely back to stock?
