You can root by installing TWRP using ODIN.

Updated my phone (which is not on Sprint Network as I live outside US) and must say, I'm quite impressed. There are no noticible UI changes but the system feels more snappier than before. I guess the Doze settings have been worked too because of which battery life has improved a tad bit.

Anyone know what Sprint meant by "Resolution to lock screen production issue"?

How can i root if i have this current version can anyone help me?

Flash TWRP with ODIN and then flash SuperSU zip through that recovery.

Do you guys capture the download link?

Does anyone have a link to download it. I would prefer to not have to put my phone back to full stock to get to then reroot and set my phone back up.

Used to get lock ups/crashes every day on MM until this update. Haven't had a crash since PG1 flashed. Maybe that's what
"Resolution to lock screen production issue"
meant.

Hot-spot mods of previous builds will not work. If you want, you can use pdanet or FoxiFi for it (no need of a rooted phone).
For Xposed, you can flash the zip available on XDA but you will require root for it.

PG1 source code isnt out, so developers will be behind still.

Well you gave me hope and i found some site called devlab that had a tutorial with comments. In the comments i seen mention of an 85.1 alt version that a few were able to install. Short story : I got it installed and im happy on pe2 using the alt version

86 updated version works best. And is newest.

You can skip updates with Odin. PG1 has been the best MM update to date for me.

Cheers, no clue what could be in this one other then monthly security patch

Downloading now, will report back if its Android 8.0 Oatmeal

With a size of 477 it's probably just a security update, but my phone is running nice and smooth after the update. Probably just a placebo effect.

Not sure my phone can live though an update to Nougat. It took 6 months before Google fixed the random reboots on MM (PG1 was the first really stable ROM). PH1 runs fine, just keep the security updates coming a while longer.

Can anyone confirm, that this update doesn't mess up the wifi tethering mod.

The hotspot mod still works

Did an OTA download for this and was wondering am I good to install it, even though I'm rooted and running some Xposed mods? I'll do a back up and see what happens.. But was wondering if I should bother?

No. You have to be on the official unrooted and completely unmodified stock rom with stock recovery for it to work.

Can someone upload this?

Where did you get hotspot mod from? I didn't find any PG1 hotspot mod. I am running PG1 stock debloated rom by saintz.

I still have hotspot mod from before marshmallow 6.0 update ##data# with msl code. After marshmallow the fields to edit are now greyed out. Mine is still intact on stock rom.

I'm not official right now to check. But when I last downloaded an ota, I think it's in /data/fota folder.
If you find it, can you upload it, please?

The battery life on this particular update is horrible. PG1 was the best update till date by Samsung on Marshmallow.
For guys on PG1, my suggestion would be not to update to PH4.
Also, PG1 has the best signal reception & voice quality.

pg4 so far so good. HOW DO I ROOT? help appreciated.

Hmmm.. For me PH4 seems about the same as PG1. No problems here. Still getting the usual 16 hours runtime / 4 hours screen time.

It works perfectly here on a Z5 Premium Dual (E6883)
To find the "Charging Optimization" option, go to: settings, about phone, status.

What region do you have for E6883? Haven't received it yet, debating whether to flash manually or not. I started to see better reception on default rom with hone but worried abkthee region might reduce my reception inside buildings in Japan.
Thanks.

New added features:
Move apps to external SD CARD
Charging optimizations
Possible brightness fix.. (seems sharper)
More as I discover them...

@kioshi: I'm in the US but have updated through flashtool (downloaded the file manually).
Best!

Which CDA did you download and install?

the new update if done by OT takes to much internal space! so i had to reflash it, its taking about 8gb now.

Really? When I bought the z5p, I had the August updates to install and did it via OTA. It didn't take space and I only had to clear the cache.
Did you clear cache? That can accumulate quickly.
By the way, using the Malaysian firmware, you receive better reception inside buildings in Japan for e6883 model.

I got the update via OTA today.

via OTA it keeps files! flashing is always much better in my experience...

Might be a bug but I had a moment on this rom where everything froze and place holders appeared around all buttons and functions, it was a bit like talkback had been turned on. Had to do a hard reset.

I have not received the update yet. Does the "move apps to SD" work?

In France I received the OTA yesterday

Yes it does as far as I am aware

Security/Patch level is "excellent". Well done.
And to be more funny (it is for me really! I am not trying to offend or get pissed off anybody!), adding screenshot from a totally obsolete 2012 device (I know this CM, but still the difference it too bright here..)

I went ahead and flashed it with flashtool and all the apps that support being moved to SD move and work well.

9th October this was first released and they have only rolled out just about half csc's. Whats the hold up ? November will be here soon and were waiting for August security patch.... talk about sloooww

My Xperia Z5 Premium still didn't receive that patch. Factory unlocked version bought from Amazon UK.

Okay thanks. I too am hoping this update will fix the bluetooth connectivity issues. I read somewhere that Google has been working on a fix.

Droid Life believes this will include BT fixes.
Which would be great as I felt like throwing my phone out the window as I never connected to my BT speaker at home yesterday.

If you update your thread title to include Google + Verizon then your thread can be used for discussion on both.

Got mine already. On T-Mobile. Came in while I was downloading the OTA on my computer. 62 MB. Can't imagine much other than the security updates. Kind of a disappointment

Google StorePixel XL 128 GB (bootloader unlocked, rooted) on Verizon. Sideloaded OTA NOF27B. Rebooted. Confirmed new build, security level. Confirmed no longer rooted. Fastboot boot TWRP. Installed SuperSU 2.79 SR2 from within TWRP. Rebooted. Confirmed Root, working native tether (I use the systemless method). Looking good so far. Will post any issues or anything new I find.

So I'm rooted with feb update. Franco kernel, unlocked bootloader, suhide, and safety net lib patches for android pay to work. I'd really rather not start over with all that again so does anyone know which or what of that I'll have to redo if I take this update?

There's really nothing compelling about this. I'd suggest waiting until you're back on WiFi.

[Discussion] OTAs on Rooted Huawei/Honor phones- Confirmed

Saw many post from new users and senior members as well and most of the time there are lot of confusion on the OTA part, especially for the rooted phone. Few says it gets (I am one of them) and few says it doesn’t as rooting capabilities modifies the system boot.img and also we have unlocked bootloader so device wont get the OTAs. I have been using the Huawei/Honor phones for 2 years now and have been getting all the OTAs on rooted phone and confirmed the same many time but still there are lot of confusion and users thinks they wont get OTA on rooted phone.
Just confirming here that you will receive OTAs on rooted phone without any issues. This is 2nd update on my phone since rooted in past 2 months.

Note- I am not using any firmware finder or other things for this as I dont trust on FF as it messed my Honor 5C in February and I given up on it.
Instructions-
If you are rooted but then rolled back to stock recovery, just download the OTA and update.
If you are rooted with TWRP recovery, flash the stock recovery first and then download the OTA to update. (TWRP wont be able to update OTA)

My phone is with modified boot.img by magisk. It was just updated to B388 sucessfully without swithing back to stock boot.

It will remain intact. No data loss. Well Chris, i can confirm on the OTA part but you never know the unforeseen consequences. I mean can run into trouble sometimes as Huawei/Honor phones are prone to brick in seconds. I would say to not update in such scenarios.
