Just got my OTA for the Verizon update. Given the success in the P-605 thread with achieving root post install, I'm taking the update and will report back.
Here's some more info - http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-galaxy-note-10-2014-update/
Ran into an install error (the infamous error 402), so having to use Verizon's Software Updater to try to get it to install.
Can you root after install?

Can't get installed. It is a 2 step update and I got a 402 error on the 2nd update. Thought from searching that I could use the built in Verizon Software Update utility but getting an incompatible Firmware error from it. The new versions aren't up on Kies yet and trying to Odin back to the previous is erroring out (though trying once more now).
So at this point I'm stuck until they release the latest through Kies or I find a chunk of time to get on the phone with Verizon tech support.
i get an error also. i even factory reset my device to see if itll go through and still a no. "Update failed, 402"

What a useless ***** on the chat. she's so stupid i don't understand how she got a job at support.
Unfortunately I suspect we are stuck until they either update the Verizon Update app to recognize the new firmware versions or Samsung releases it through Kids..... I don't remember what the normal delay is between OTA and Kies but suspect it will be a week or so.

I don't know, my 14 great old can be pretty sharp I even caught that the first time spell check "corrected" it, guess it decided even after two times I still didn't want to spell it Kies....
So here is the latest. After chatting with a helpful Verizon rep, they said that due to the device having been previously rooted (even though I had uninstalled root prior to updating) that might be causing the issue and that I'd have to talk with Samsung. The Samsung rep said that yes, the reported baseband is 5.1.1 so that is likely causing the issue that it took the 1st OTA but not the second. Unfortunately they can't update it through Smart Switch (their Kies replacement) and said I'd have to take it into a Samsung service center in a Best Buy since they'd have the tools to get it on the right firmware. Heading there today or tomorrow so will report back.....
i went to bestbuy and the samsung guy tried to be very helpful but he couldn't, his programs dont show an update for our devices yet. He wouldnt believe me when i told him im suppose to get 5.1.1. Note pro 12 doesnt have 5.1 theres no way note 10.1 is getting it is what he told me.
Then i inserted my phones sim into the note 10.1 and we checked for an update, he saw the error and he saw that there was an update 5.1.1 available for download. We tryed to update it again but it also failed.
So i went home after spending 1 hour at bestbuy without success.
The tech I met with ran a diagnostic and identified that I had a "binary mismatch" which requires 2 hours to fully reflash the device. He unfortunately didn't know how to do it so I have to go back when the more experienced tech is working.
I think we are all in the same boat. I received and installed the first OTA update, then the second one failed with the 402 error. I tried Kies and it states that I have the latest firmware. The 402 error seems common with Verizon OTA updates. I may try a trip to Best Buy also, but I don't think that the update is in full effect yet. One positive for me, the tablet seems a bit better after the first OTA received yesterday.
I was told once they get the update on their computers they can push it to any device. Hopefully thats the case.
I wonder if we can odin back to the previous version we had. If it works it'll be all stock without any root history. Maybe it'll work that way.

Tried Odin with 4.4.2 but ran into the same binary mismatch. Assumed it was from a changed bootloader, but not technical enough to know.
Likewise think that might be a path forward once they publish the firmware, but no sign of it yet (I know it normally takes a week or so to see it show up on SamMobile)
How did you root? Has anyone had success with this? Is your tablet still usable?

Haven't yet. After the headaches of getting it installed may take a breather before rooting. Here's a good summary from the P605 thread (obviously skipping the first couple of flashes and starting with the permissive kernel flashing) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xy-note-10-t3215876/post63187053#post63187053

My bad...my question was how did you root before the update? With towelroot? Does that make a difference or was it just a bad update from vzw?
Sent from my SM-P605V using Tapatalk
Mine was rooted with towelroot. The first update wiped out root. The OTA error for the second update can happened whether you are rooted or not.
Hey,
did you receive the official Update allready?
I got mine today and is working so far.
Update came OTA and installed without problems.
How ist it running for you?

I'm thinking those of us on beta 7.1.1 may have to roll back to 7.0 to catch OTA but not sure. Good question.. I'm gonna roll back and try and force update, no luck for me thus far on beta 711.. I'll report back later..

Great news tnx a lot for this info
I got the stock 7.1.1 OTA yesterday it's running good.
Hit the check now button to check manually, even if it already did automatically you can find the update manually.
Do anyone know if stock nexus builds support f2fs, and if, for which partitions? (I've done some mild google'ing on the topic with no definite answers).
I'm on the beta still no OTA update even when checking it manually

I checked mine about 100 times manually then downloaded full ota and flashed it using FlashFire app yesterday.
Any word on the Bluetooth issue from DP1+DP2 going away?
I had the beta 7.1, and had not received the official OTA.
my wife also has a 5X, but on 7.0, she got the notification the day after I read that they were rolling it out "in the next few weeks"
so I updated hers, then un-enrolled my device and as soon as I restarted mine I got the notification for 7.1.1
So far life is good with it, nothing major
the 2 things I am most peeved about is no Daydream VR and still have the Google search bar front and center (figuratively)
I enrolled my Nexus 5X in the beta program and when I try to side load the official 7.1.1 release it gives me an error: "Can't install this package over newer build. Installation aborted". Is there any significant change taking about stability and battery from the DP2 and the official release? Thanks!
Got the update to stock 7.0 few days ago. This is the fastest I have ever received any android update.
Did not even check manually for updates as I was not expecting this to be available or few weeks!
Just checked and there is a 1588 MB update. Should be Nougat!! The download is S L O W!
It is

Running smooth as silk on mineso far. Update and install took about 30-40 min total. I'm running the T-Mobile FW on it as well. Seems really snappy so far and just started playing around about 10 minutes ago. Dig it a lot so far! No bugs so far but of course it's the T-Mo update as well so we'll see

Anyone know if you need to uninstall Good Lock to install or run Nougat? I'm assuming it hasn't been updated to work with it.
Grr... Yet another update that failed to complete. Reset device having it download again. Doesn't matter now whether Good Lock needed to get uninstalled since it went away anyway.
Arghh... three failed installs; have wiped phone with apps restoring and then wiped and skipped everything; tried another wipe including wipe cache and it stopped at 31% under the death star logo.
Anyone have an Odin version of this? Guessing this is going to be the only way this is going to work for me.

Is there anyone out there that knows how to update the Mate 9 Pro (Lon-l29c)?

I have the files for the update, I just have no idea how to go about making the phone use it even recognize the files. Are there any methods available other than the two I mentioned?

Not to be rude, but I posted to find another method other than funky Huawei. Even with the fact that it's just $30 for 5 updates is way more than I would ever spend for something I've done for free. I plan to have this phone for years, and I'm pretty sure there'll be more than just 5 updates in a year (there's been 3 in the 2 months I've owned the device already).

Do you need to do any extra steps on the Mate 9 Pro? Is not having an external sd card in our phones a problem?
Currently considering rebranding to C636, since that versions seems to get updates fastest.

Tried again. I just kept getting that incremental stuff where it keeps wanting to download another patch.
So. I cleared the folder specified in FF, rebooted the phone and then it kept saying the connection was unstable.
So, I uninstalled FF Proxy and then reset the connection. File downloaded. Phone rebooted and said it couldn't verify the file and now.....
"Your device has failed verification" on boot up. It will work if I press the power button, but something is clearly wrong. It suggests I use 'ERecover' which states it will download the most recent build over Wifi.
Balls. Will give it a try - but I fear I've bricked the bloody thing!

Ah. Thanks for that. That's how you get around that problem!
Onto the new problem - "Your device has failed verification." Huawei's own solution failed. I presume it only works in Asia or China. It appears to want you to use 'ERecover' and wifi*not fully booted phone) to download a system image. Doesn't work. (Funky Huawei use this method, but they change your DNS so presumably ERecover points at their servers for a fee.)
Apparently factory reset doesn't work either and I didn't wanna start from scratch again.
I Googled about and this does seem a relatively common issue and someone else got the issue on a Huawei Mate 9 (not pro) doing the same thing. The OTA updates can cause this, he flashed an older firmware. I tried to flash the older firmwares, two of which got 'not authenticated' messages. So, going for broke, I had a go at installing the newest B182 firmware FULL again through FF. By some miracle - it worked and fixed the "Your device has failed verification." issue as well!!
Phew. So managed to get B182 on L29C636. :victory:
Only weird thing I got was Google Drive didn't want to work post installation(kept saying no network connection) - so I deleted all data from Google Play and this started working again.
Now that I know the critical point in using FF - "Download latest full package" as stated above. This shouldn't be such a ballache.
Can anyone confirm the benefit of converting the C636(Asian) to the European version- C432?
Any idea why I've not had any updates on my Sim Free UK P10 Plus? I'm still running VKY-L09C432B120. Have updates been released in the UK for this phone? Also, not sure if it's related, in About Phone>Certification: it says Serbia.

Sometimes, you can get updates in their HiCare app, when you can't get them from the update in phone settings.

No it doesn't invalidate the warranty because those updates are the official ones. And because of that, it does not need to be rooted to work. I went 12 rounds with that app and finally figured it out so if you need any help with it, I would be happy to help you save some time.
I have the same issue on mine. Assuming it is an issue of course. Odd that March is last update though...

Use HWOTA or FunkyHuawei to get updates. Even Firmware Finder will allow you get C432B162.
Thanks all for the advice, I used Firmware Finder and now have my P10 Plus running B162.
One upside of the upgrade is that I can now use the full 220mbps available from my Virgin Hub instead of the 30mbps I was limited to before.
Seems I've run into a little trouble updating to the latest firmware version on Firmware Finder. B175 is available but when I try to install it shows as unauthorised. I've tried this with both the proxy enabled throughout the upgrade and disabled after the initial setup. Any ideas?

This happens a lot with Firmware Finder, it's not always possible to install f/w even though it's available. In this instance your two options are HWOTA method (search these forums) or Funky Huawei's pay service.
The only improvement in B175 is Android Security Patch dated 5th October.

If you have September Security Patch then I wouldn't worry too much, I think that's the one that fixed the BlueBorne vulnerability...
HWOTA requires backing up, unlocking bootlader (which wipes device), updating then restoring. That's too much bother for me so I chose to pay for the upgrade. Each to their own. Firmware Finder is great but it requires Huawei authorising the update, which they don't always do.

Thanks scook94, I'll give this one a miss and look into HWOTA if the problem persists with future updates.

I have this problem with b175, all the others work.
I contacted firmware finder and they couldn't really understand English. If you notice though on ff there is a few other updates that are not compatible too listed above,to be fair I'm not sure b175 is even out on the p10 plus yet? It's only mentioned for the p10 when you Google search but it's annoying me now because I want another update just to verify that my phone can be still kept up to date via the app
hi all,
I am really struggling with this. My P10+ is on B120 and I cannot for the life of me upgrade it. I tried Firmware finder in proxy mode or download mode. I tried downloading it on the pc and copy to the sd card , still no luck.
I seem to be getting, this firmware is not verified or that the download isn't verified. i also now have to press the power button whenever i restart the phone. is there any solution to this ?

Any idea why I've not had any updates on my Sim Free UK P10 Plus? I'm still running VKY-L09C432B120. Have updates been released in the UK for this phone? Also, not sure if it's related, in About Phone>Certification: it says Serbia.

I seem to have the same issue although mine is the P10. Picked up sim free from Argos. Still running B120 and device also says certified in Serbia. Also struggling with the forced update method. Getting a bit frustrated.

Have you tried using the firmware finder app? This worked for me.

I did make an attempt but it didn't work for me. I'm not that confident going through the process either. Was kinda hoping there'd be an OTA waiting for me. Huawei Twitter support says B162 is the latest authorised release from them but can't seem to tell me much else.
Anyone resolve this issue yet? I will get in touch with huawei and ask if needed. im b120 still running march 2017 update. it a shame. i bought from amazon uk
Good news guys! I figured out the way to download the software updates! Go into the preinstalled app on your phone called Emui Software Updates, click on the three dots on top right of your screen, and click on download latest software packages.. Voila! Hope this helped! Im currently downloading B171 for my UK sim free p10.
