[Q] How to update to 5.0.1

Hi,
Im from the netherlands and noticed that the update for 5.0.1 is available.
I have the Exynos (N910C) version android 4.4.4 rooted installed now.
I have changed dpi settings true xposed.
What is the best way to update to the new version 5.0.1 ?
Thanks,
Roy
I have used the auto root to root the stock rom.
N910C is Exynos, not Snapdragon, so choose your ROM carefully.
Best way to upgrade is to backup everything first, then install new ROM with Odin (download correct version from sammobile), then root using your method of choice (I personally recommend flashing TWRP recovery and choose root on exit).
After that, you can restore everything you need from the backups.

Your device was rooted and no way to upgrade 5.0.1 via OTA. The only way now is download latest Firmware (for your Area) on Sammobile.com or similar website then using Odin to upgrade. Remember: full wipe on recovery first then flashing FW via Odin on Downloadmod.
Thanks for the awnsers. i meant the Exynos, sorry for that.
I havent tryed to update it true normal update way becouse i thought this wasnt possible as my device is rooted.
So i might try if i can do this?
Roy
OTA will fail because you tripped Knox when you rooted.
Besides, lollipop brings a new bootloader, modem and csc, so even if you choose to flash a custom lollipop ROM, you still need to upgrade those using Odin.

I have installed the 5.0.1 version true odin without doing a full wipe. I still have all my apps and files and it seems to work oke.
Did i have to do a full because of the battery draining stuff? or is it oke like this?
Roy
Should be fine as it is, but a full wipe once in a while never hurts...
If you notice something wrong, battery drain, lag or even applications force-close, then why not... perform a full wipe and restore your apps and settings gradually.
Make sure you backup everything, i failed my stock update to android 5..0.1 (OTA), and now i still didnt found anyway to get my data back, it remains dead there

Trying to revert back to stock rom N910F

Hey guys,
I'm trying to revert back to the stock rom on my N910F (UK purchase - unlocked) but no matter which firmware I download via Sammobile, it just isn't working! It says "FAILED" on Odin when flashing. The only firmware that seems to work is N910FXXU1COH4_DevBase_alexndr - but this version has constant knox notifications and I'm giving my phone to a family member who doesn't want root or anything because she's not very good with phones, she also wants the stock rom installed only.
Can anybody advise me on where I'm going wrong or the firmware I need to install? Should I attempt 5.0 instead of 5.1? Thanks in advance!

Make absolutely sure you have the proper firmware, (correct country code) and so on..
Also..do you have a custom recovery installed.? IF so, you'll probably need to flash the stock recovery from the OS your needing to revert..after stock recovery is working, then flash the firmware..

Galaxy s6 Edge+ G928F unroot and update

Hello Guys;
First i want to apologize for my bad english.
I have some problems with my device and want to reset all to default and update my s6edge+ to the last version.
I got my phone in the first days and do the first possible root with the arter97 kernel.
This is my device now:
Android 5.1.1
G928F version
3.10.90-arter97 kernel.
I want a stock kernel, the newest android for this device (which is it? didnt see the tree in the forest) and just simple root but all other original.
How i have to go now? please help me...
I want the clean way, no problem if i loose something but if i can avoid this, it would be nice. (whats the best way today to save my data?)
Best greetings
Daniel
Use odin and flash the latest firmware for your model at sammobile.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ (firmware)
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24533103863142212 (odin)
Have I do a full wipe/Factory reset first?
Whats with the arter97 kernel?
Thanks for help
The wipe is up to you. I always wipe before putting anything new on just to be safe.
I think putting the firmware on with odin does wipe anyway, but not 100% sure.
As for the kernel, I haven't used that one. I use either skyhigh or audax kernels.

Downgrade from Oreo to Nougat? [SM-G950F]

So yesterday I updated from Nougat (not rooted) to Oreo. After I updated I had some issues with my SIM. Basically most of the time I get "Out of service/Not registered in the Network". The SIM is working fine in other Phones. Already tried a reformat (with Stock Recovery) did not help.
So can I just use Odin v3.12 and the S8 Nougat files and flash them?
Will it brick If I do it?
The Oreo Firmware (and my phone) has no carrier. (DBT, Germany)
Same goes for the Nougat Firmware.
Thanks
Phone Info:
- SM-G950F
- Exynos variant
- DBT (unbranded)

Are the firmwares for G955F and G955FD the same?
My friend has the FD version with G955FXXU1CRB7 - CSC ILO (ISRAEL), but I can't find G955FXXU1AQK7 for the FD version for CSC ILO.

He is having terrible battery issues with Oreo, wiped data using stock recovery but it won't help.
Downgrade from CRAP (8.0) to AQL5 (7.0) and now I have a DRK error and it automatically starts the recovery, some help?
You can't downgrade via odin. You can only flash the same firmware or higher.

Flash stock rom

hi folks,
Please can someone give me pointers on how to flash a stock rom on and S8 to remove the enterprise edition. Not keen on rooting but could consider it as an option.
Do I need to change the CSC code? Or leave it to the existing carrier? Whats the best option.
Please advise

Hi,
Changing CSC is not mandatory so it's up to you. You can flash stock ROM without changing it.
- Use Odin on PC for flashing, download the ROM on the internet and find it once downloaded by pressing AP button on Odin.
- Use Samfirm to download firmwares from Samsung (adviced).

Thanks Benjamin..
Can I get away with installing a stock rom or do I need to install the carrier rom? The carrier is vdaphone..
Depends if your device is vodafone branded or not
Thanks folks, I have been able to flash the BTU rom and it all good..
I have one issue, the enterprise knox enrollment service still comes up at startup.. I was under the impression that a stock flash return it to standard from enterprise.
Please advise
Update: I went down the root option and wiped the phone which got rid of the enterprise software. I didnt know about the e-fuse (last I rooted a phone and was able to return it to stock years ago and thought it still to be the case) now despite flashing the stock BTU firmware I have 0×1 flag which means I can't use S Health etc.
Not fussed about the warranty as it was out anyway.. can anyone recommend options I should go down?
Any pointers folks?
Find a stock based custom rom with patched s health and other apps with fake Knox 0x0, that's the only choice for you now
