U need to downgrade back to 10o and contact att for the q update. When you have the q update installed use the manual root method for 10o from autoprime. Skip adb step 5. Once rooted take the kitkat update and root will stick.
Thanks for the reply but that sounds like too much work. I'll just wait for an easier method. Thank you

Well thats good, atleast LG didnt do what Samsung did and create e-fuses that prevent you from downgrading firmware....yet another reason why I no longer have/ever will have a Samsung phone again.

even the s3 wasnt all that great.my wife got one i touched it for about 10min. instantly got rid of it. nothing spectacular.
I rooted mine on 4.2 via kingoapp.com. Root stayed with the 4.4.2 update but if it didn't I was going back to Kingo to root again. I've rooted 4 different phones with it, the last being a T-Mobile Nexus 5 with KitKat and it's always worked fast and easy. Some people bad mouth it but it works for me.
Just hooked up my 8.4 with Kies 3 and got this:
-----update-----
reroot: OK
Make sure you don't disable KNOX (hit cancel when you're prompted)
Wi-Fi seems to be faster
Touch looks OK.
Great I have been waiting for the US version,
On your upgrade did root carry over from your previous install or did you re-root with TR or use the kernel swap method?

Can you explain for a new user please.
Is this the recent update I hear people are getting yesterday and today?
:Make sure you don't disable KNOX (hit cancel when you're prompted)"
Is this something for those rooted or does it apply to stock application. Have no clue what KNOX or Kies 3 is
It is for those who are rooting. This is the notice from the SuperSu app which is used in the routing process

It will trip KNOX, so you go other route if it's your concern.

If you disable KNOX during root process, it will crash some services which causes system crash when waking up (see Q&A section).
TR won't work anymore but you can swap kernels with AN3 (or 1) root with TR then swap back to NK1 and not trip knox.
Anyways someone (on another thread) said the ANG1 firmware have + - adjustment for auto brightness however I'm not seeing that option in this firmware did they remove it in this revision (I never tested ANG1) so just wondering.

I did this, then froze all the knox stuff in titanium backup. Not a single crash or reboot with knox disabled.

Just added a thread with the this FW and it's parts in odin flash-able form.. Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...320xar1ank1-extracted-stock-firmware-t2954549
I just got the OTA and installed it, I wasn't rooted though so just your basic OTA install.
Too soon to notice any changes but wondering why it isnt 4.4.4? My wife has an S4 and it was just updated to 4.4.4 and I think the S4 is older than the tab pro.

Can you please tell me how you were able to root with CF? I tried using the method from android central. Everything worked like the guide stated but the tablet still don't have root access.
The day that I installed the OTA my battery life was pretty bad, on a very basic level it drained a little more than twice as fast when using the table the same way in the past.
It could just be because the new software was flashed and it needs to settle a bit and maybe a reboot or two, well that is what I am hoping at least.

I updated yesterday and it seems the battery consumption is the same. Maybe a reboot or one cicle charging will do it.
The only difference I noted is that it seems a little bit snapier, but again, it could be the placebo effect...
I noticed you said you went from NG1 to NK1 and that it was snappier
Did you try NI1? That was already snappier than NG1, so I wonder if there's any diff for those of us on NI1

I didn't try the NI1. I haven't rooted my tablet yet, a bit of lazyness and lack of time.. hahahahah
But it seems the difference between the NI1 and the NK1 is the CSC (UK vs USA). I don't think they differ much if differ at all. Maybe someone with more knowledge can tell better.
how can you root nk1?

Yes, and that is to be expected, since root trips the custom flag.
I hope I'm wrong, but I suspect you'll be waiting a looong time for CM on the S6, given the exynos processor and locked Bootloader (on our ATT version).

I can wait. With removing a lot of bloat and junk crap my phone is much faster. I notice free ram is a lot more. Faster boots without having to auto start all the junk. I'm good for now.
Just the post I was looking for. Downloading the 235.96 MB update right now.
Lol CM? They cant even perfect or at least provide decent ROM for their 1+1 and Yureka phone what more on the latest hardware. By the way I own the 1+1 and its buggy even the official releases. Im not saying Sammy software isnt buggy its jusT CM is worst.

You could make a full backup of 6.0 then update to 6.0.1 and see how it goes. I for one am still on 6.0 because I am affected by the LTE issue.
Go for the update. If you notice any of the problems downgrade. Its quite strange but not all users are effected.

I'm having no issues with 6.0.1 at all. It depends on your personal usage and you should try it yourself. With a backup there is no problem to return to 6.0 if you should spot issues. Personally I would definitely update, just because of the security updates...

I believe you just need your bootloader unlocked, and you can flash the original system package and be back to 6.0.

You don't need to be rooted, unlock the bootloader and create a backup using TWRP. The tutorial for this can be found in the general section of the Nexus6P forum .

Android Pay is not affected by unlocking the bootloader (or using systemless root). But unlocking will cause your phone to be wiped, so you should save important data manually.
The QFuse is not affected by unlocking the bootloader either, but it is popped by default during the fabrication process. There once was a thread about this somewhere here.

Yeah, same goes for the AT&T version (v520), no root, no twrp, not even barely any discussions.. Smh, if AT&T didn't give it to me for free i'd probably have just gotten a Nexus lol.. At least you can have fun with those..
I was able to get adoptable storage with the update now with a few adb commands
What version is this Nougat? (letter letter letter number number letter, can also be known as build number, not 7.0 - version of Nougat is obvious enough)
I plan on building AOSP for this, but I would REALLY prefer to match the exact version.
And I can't just run the update on my tablet, it's rooted and unlocked and I don't think I know the procedure to relock it.
Never mind, it said 7.0.0-r1.

Hmm, weird cuz mine keeps saying "your device is up to date" and it was last updated on January 10th.. But I'm still on 6.0.1..
EDIT: Also wanna add, I downloaded LG Bridge via a recommendation from another site that stated that was the only way the new update would be accepted, and that didn't work either.. When i click "Software Update" it says, "Cannot check the software version, Try again.", so I guess I'm s.o.l. for now..
I deactivated from AT&T when I switched to Verizon last month, but I still use it on WiFi and it works fine so I'm not sure why it's not working..

That is really strange. My guess would be is it hasn't been pushed out to every device yet. I happen to have checked for updates on the day AT&T pushed it out. Their website wasn't even updated yet when i got it. I wouldn't think deactivating it would cause it to lose the ability to update but i am kind of new to android so i am not 100% sure. I would just keep checking for updates or maybe contact AT&T and see if they could give you an answer. They do have a section in the Device Support to display information about software updates. I tried attaching a link to it but i can't as i have less than 10 posts. You can search on google AT&T software updates and it should be the top link. You'll then enter your device and scroll down to software updates. They do have a Troubleshoot and Resolve software updates page you could check out
Sweet. My fido v522 just completed its Nougat update. No more sluggish keyboard......for now. Lol

I notice Wi-Fi issues on my Fido V522 after the nougat update. It would get horrible wifi speeds with a AC 4X4 (1900) network and frequent network drops compared to Marshmallow.
