Update PG2 pushed, install or wait? - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was just pushed the PG2 update and I'm on official stock rooted PF4. When I look at the update.zip it says its build G900VVZW2DPG2 at around 108 MB in size. Let me know what you guys think [safe to install directly or not and wait].

Wait. Last Friday, I put the file in the existing update to thread and mentioned the two main people who have been making rooted versions for a while now. They haven't said anything last I looked, but I have yet to check for anything today.

Sorry about that. I tried doing a search for PG2 in the threads but didn't find anything. I see your post now. Hopefully they can get something worked out soon.

It doesn't say PG2, most of the threads update their names once they have put in a new way; but no one has done that for PG2 yet. Most people were not expecting us to get another update so soon; so I am guessing they haven't checked it yet.

Im debating whether to mess around with it since my phone is just plain jacked right now. I think my PF4 update didnt go well or something cause I only am getting about 20 minutes of battery life when I was getting over half a day. Now that we are 2.5 phones away from this one, I doubt there will be much support to root the updates.

Downloading full PG2.
I will build new rom flashable via twrp/flashfire.

Update
I upgrade from version to G900VVZW2DPG2.
The update addresses any errors Stagefright the probe and all this norrmal. I am now in version Saturday the G900VVRU2BPB1 aver if I can make root

Hello friends I installed the update PG2 and I have not noticed changes that can be noticed and the security version only came up to September one, if they know of any other changes please share

In case you haven't found it yet, here is the thread to upgrade your rom to rooted PG2. If you wish to upgrade your bootloader to an unlocked PG2 bootloader, the first post also includes a link to the thread which deals with that.

So its not just me. I've had my phone sitting at my desk, untouched, streaming spotify for the last hour, its at 20% after a full charge. I had it in my pocket Saturday at a basketball game, it was down to 50% after about 25 minutes without touching it.

SEUS updates available?

I've searched around the forum and can't find anything so I figured I'd just ask.
I ran SEUS and it says there is an update available, and the first time it downloaded a 133 MB file, but i didn't notice anything different when I rebooted the phone. Now it keeps telling me there is an update available, but it doesn't seem to download anything and the update doesn't seem to do anything either.
Anyone have this happen or know the thread where it may have been addressed before?
[UPDATE I actually found some other users in the Update 1.6 by country thread so I'm just going to post there from now on. I don't know why I didn't think of looking in there. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717818&page=30 ]
You need to give us some information about the update and current version you have FW.
Seus has never found an update for my phone. I've manually upgraded firmware twice and currently using ver R2BA024.
Does Seus allow update by country? Has anyone in Australia gotten update through Seus?
I have. When I plugged my X10 in it and I pressed the Update button it told me there is a newer version available.

I'm on the stock AT&T firmware. I just got the phone last week.
I am assuming that you don't know where to read the firmware version.
Push the left button on your phone while you are on the main screen(no lock)
select "settings" and then go all the way down to the end and select "About Phone" and read the last number which is says "Build Number"
The page you are actually on has the least information about your phone.
I am aware that there was an update for ATT last to couple weeks ago but sometimes SEUS goes crazy and notify you when there is none. Your phone probably is branded "means that att has locked it" and you may want to unbrand it (you can search the development section for that) you can also root to get access to all the programs if you need to uninstall them.
Unfortunately Android 2.1 is not out for this phone as of now but it will be. They will first release for unbranded phone (this is what they have told us) and then branded later this year. It may take sometimes for ATT to update but if you wait you can flash a different one when its available on this forum later.
I hope I could help you a bit.

And I assumed you would know that the stock AT&T FW version was 1.6 and the build number is R2CA016 which I thought was common knowledge and is why I didn't initially post it. I guess both of our assumptions were wrong.
I know my way around android and I already knew everything you posted. None of which answers my question except for the part about SEUS going "crazy". I didn't want to even try doing a full root and going to a different build until after the 2.1 update. I've used SWM to load the x10 root app so I could use Titanium to remove the at&t crapware already. I'm sorry if this sounds rude, but I'm not a noob and 90% of your post was made with the assumption I was.
I've been following all of the 2.1 update threads and I wasn't even considering it was the 2.1 update. I just wasn't sure what it COULD have been since I also couldn't find any kind of update history either.

Still haven't gotten the Gingerbread update

It's almost the end of June and I still haven't had the Gingerbread update pushed to my Droid Pro. Does anyone know if this update still has additional rollout waves? Perhaps my company has control over when the update is pushed out, once it completes its own internal security tests? Either way I'd rather not flash my phone manually as I've never found the need to root, and I'd rather do an in-place upgrade that retains all my apps/settings.
No update here either :/ I'd much rather have the official GB update than the one that requires root
Good to know I'm not the only one at least
There is no final Gingerbread for Droid Pro for now (27.06.2011)
To make the story short - there has been no final Gingerbread for Droid Pro yet. Check the thread below to read more:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094588&page=7
The version from this thread does not require root - it's a Motorola beta version that was released to a small amount of people.
Yea ive heard it was just a test release. Only small amount of phones got updated
Thanks for the info. Not having the latest software always makes me antsy, but in this case it's okay since it's not publicly available
I got the update last night sometime. I woke up at 3am to let the dog out and saw my phone had it waiting. Half asleep i accepted the update....
I wake up later pissed because im rooted and now im stuck in limbo again (this happened once during the last update sent out). Now I have to reflash my phone back to a previous stock OS and then reaccept the new updates.. yay lol
ok so i flashed back with an earlier SBF file and updated back to where i was before the GB update. Now i go to about phone and search for update and the GB update is not showing up

[Q] Android L: Available Without OTA Update?

Hey guys. First off, I'm new (this is my first post) so if I say/ do something wrong, please be considerate.
So I read somewhere that the new version of Android, Android L, might be coming out as early as December for the Samsung Galaxy S5. Earlier this year I got a Galaxy S5 and as it is my first Android, I wanted it to be the best it could. After a while I decided that it would be a good idea to root it, but as it is a Verizon model, it didn't look like I was going to be able to since the bootloader is locked. Luckily once towelroot came out I was able to root it, thankfully.
A month or two later, an OTA update came out, for Kitkat 4.4.3, and after several tries at installing it, I figured out the hard way that once you root your phone, OTA updates don't work anymore.
With all this being said, I'm a little concerned that I wont be able to get the next version of android on my phone. Even if it does come out in an OTA update, I know I wont be able to install it and since the bootloader is locked, I wont be able to flash it onto my phone.
Is there any hope that I'll be able to get Android L, or am I going to be stuck with Kitkat 4.4.2?

I don't know anything about L coming out but you can get all the updates you want. All the info you need is in threads here and in the general forum. You can always odin back to stock and take OTA updates. Or you can install which ever version you want via odin and then root from there.
Edit: In reading an article a while ago over @ techradar, I think we'll be seeing L sooner than you think. The thinking seems to go that when the Note 4 drops with L on it, Sammy will push it to their top tier phones right away after that...

6.0 and emui 4 please

Well I just got my honor 5 and wanted to upgrade the software, emui says it's 3.1 and when I put the check for updates it says there are no available. Nether when I check my lollipop 5.1.1 to got to Marshmallow. No upgrade available.
My cellphone was one of the Prime Day 120 bucks, KIW-L24c56.
Is there something I should do? I know very few of cellphones, but at least my moto g2 asked me itself to upgrade to Marshmallow which I did, apparently this has Marshmallow upgrade also but nowhere to be found.
Than you.
Wait for it its not fully out yet.. it takes some time.

Check out this thread. It gives detailed instructions to download the official update and install it.
im checking the hihonor website and there is no 6.0 upgrade
Is it just me or no one else can see it ?
http://www.hihonor.com/us/support/
Well... so far no luck upgrading.
I'm new in this subforum (just got my KIW-L24 last night) and have no idea what the "-c56" on your model number is so hopefully I'm not wasting your time, but
I was able to update mine to marshmallow using this update package that was provided in this thread.
Just make a "dload" folder on your internal storage and extract the update file from the zip to it. Then in system update on the phone, hit menu and local update... should walk you through from there.
Hope this helps!
well apparently Huawei pulled out the update because there were some issues with the phones, they are gonna work on it and put the update on L24 with Marshmallow 6 and Emui 4 back when everything is resolved.

Did you hear this from Huawei? I'm thinking the same thing and posted this in another thread, but was wandering if it was officially a problem.
See below:
They have removed marshmallow from the site. It's not official, but I believe they are doing some work to it. It was extremely laggy and had poor battery life and performance compared to lollipop. I reverted back after running it.
You guys would be better off waiting to see what repairs are done to it.
When you click on the support site, look to the right under manuals
http://www.hihonor.com/us/support/
You will see how to rollback officially from Marshmallow, if there were no problems, I'm pretty sure that would NOT be listed the same day marshmallow was removed from the site

Yea, I wrote to them and they replied me that there were some issues regarding the update. One day there was the update and the other it wasnt, so I asked them and they said their engineers are looking into it and as soon as possible its gonna be back posted on the website.
amazing how these buggy updates make it through testing to get released, beyond belief & biggest drawback with current phones is crappy firmware & apps , programming, testing & design rules needs massive improvement ...
Android itself is big part of problem ...
Funny how CM has a better software compared yo such big brand Honor/Huawei
Just now at the Honor US support site.
There is this
KIW-L24, Android 6.0.1,EMUI 4.0,C567D003,United States
for download.
Hope it is the patched version.
yea I just entered the website and saw it too.
Im gonna wait a while to see if things are patched, apparently the patch is the same as the one before so Ill wait a bit until people test it out.

nothing changed in the about phone screen, I assume it's just bug fix for the memory leaks and bad battery

I am sure that this is what I put on my daughters phone yesterday, but it still shows as B331 in the about phone screen. Can anyone else confirm this?
well I got 6.0.1 and new Emui in my cellphone OTA. Just this morning I got an update and after downloading and installing it was the new version.
Phone seems a bit laggy and not as fast as 5.0, is this normal for 6.0? Or just me?

Honor USA: EMUI 5.0 is officially rolling out starting on Feb 11th

Just for the purpose of tracking the rolling out process in the north America region, let's try collecting some date information when you receive the rollout. The process of this upgrade could become a helpful guideline for future upgrade events in the region! Models L04 and L14 might be involved. Let's also comment on your state, wireless service provider, if you are in the beta group and when you got the phone to see if anything is correlated. Please take a minute to fill out the form:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XULbGwxpO0s_RH9EzbvWjLP48MNCz7vkolbT0TiMf7s/edit?usp=sharing
Thank you!
Now, on the official Honor_USA social account, https://twitter.com/Honor_USA, N is coming on Feb 11th. Period.
Update: from Rox_honor, it's officially released on Feb 10th in the US. Some people have had this update already.
To force the update, you can check the method posted on Page 2, #16: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70992090&postcount=16.
Reserve for updating statistics, if possible. Again, the Google Spreadsheet to fill out is https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XULbGwxpO0s_RH9EzbvWjLP48MNCz7vkolbT0TiMf7s/edit?usp=sharing
Feel free to add more columns if you think they are helpful.
So far it seems that only T-Mobile users are getting the update. Just tried to update my Mom's phone, we are on Cricket (AT&T) and there was no update for her. Tried putting it on airplane and restarting but still nothing. I'll probably try again tomorrow.

There is one entry reporting received the update while on Straight Talk. We need to have more data in order to figure out the rollout sequence. GOOD LUCK!
i purchased the Unlocked Honor 8 from US (amazon). But I'm an indian user and I'm using it with an indian carrier . will i get the update as the other north american devices or do i have to wait longer
Did not get the update (FRD - L04)
But I forgot whether or not the L04 is international or US (i live in the US though)
yeah i havent gotten it either still says no updates available
I haven't received the update either on L04. I read on the other thread that it rolls out in small batches.
Edit: Here's the post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70964112&postcount=392
Nothing on L04 AT&T yet. Purchased from NewEgg and first activated in December.
Got it 3 weeks ago. L04 from b&h.
Bought it unlocked at Frys a week ago and received the update yesterday. I just want to caution all rooted and unlocked users! I received the update yesterday and upgraded it like a fool. I cant get into twrp recovery and the stock recovery seems to be broken. I even installed a newer twrp thru fastboot but im still not able to go into recovery. Im looking through all the forums but no one seems to have this problems yet. Im still waiting on some help if anyone has a solution. So please be aware before updating. Hopefully Im the only one with this problem.

Ahh, I was an idiot and had the same thing.
What happened is that I was rooted, and installed via Charles app, and it bugged out.
The reason for that is that TWRP can't install the stock ROM.
You need to get into fastboot, and reflash the stock recovery, and use it to dload the emui 4.1 file. Make sure you get the full package version.
After that it will be all wiped. You might run into a few errors but let the recovery do its thing.
You'll eventually be able to boot into the OS and then run the update normally.
I want to root my honor 8 on nougat, but I'm waiting for a patch from Huawei first because of all the bugs, just because of this.
Also I don't think rooting the honour 8 on nougat works that we'll yet, hopefully someone comes up with a method that doesn't suck so hard.
Hopefully they'll do it quickly.
Do you mind pointing me to the right direction to find those files? stock recovery and the 4.1.
Ive seen the rollback files... is that what you're talking about?

I used the firmware finder tool for it. You can get it for Windows. It's somewhere around the forum, but you can probably Google it.
Once you get the full package you can extract the recovery.img from it.
Unlocked FRD-L04 bought from Amazon. Living in Argentina. Got update yesterday. Really happy with it.
Folks, if you are impatient, you can use the Firmware Finder to send the Firmware B360 (I am using the Jan 3 one) to your Updater for a full package update. More information can be found at https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/news-huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3550882
A few notes here from my personal experience:
1. Once you set up the proxy from the Finder's proxy app which should be downloaded after you enabled the "send firmware to updater" (check notification afterward), you then click on the latest firmware # and "send firmware to updater".
2. On the Setting/Updater, click the menu and use "Download full update package", which should direct you to a 2.27Gb package (not the 1.28Gb package, or you will not be able to login!) and click on the "Quick update" button. You may need to wait for a while to see this option. Up to now, you may not be able to download anything yet.
3. Go back to the wifi setting and turn on proxy setting to "None" again and reconnect with the wifi network. Now you should pause the Updater and then resume it. You should now be able to download the full package and install it.
4. After all the update process, it could be helpful to charge your phone without the screen turning on. This is told to be useful to optimize the battery performance immediately after the update. The phone might be slow in a couple of hours as optimizations are going on in the background. But everything will become normal afterward
Good luck!
bought L04 from newegg using it in Pakistan no update for me as of yet
This is all bulls*it. Same update we got in january, and by the way, it's buggy.
L04 here, bought from Amazon about a month ago. Running on T-Mobile US. Still no update yet.
Is there any way to change the white notification background? I prefer the old color scheme, Mich easier on the eyes at night.
