Poll: Supposed OTA 1.35.605.2 -- Have you received it?

Sorry but I am skeptical about this OTA. So I'd like to start a poll on who has actually been prompted and/or received it.

what are you skeptical about ? it existing ?
what would make you skeptical of this ?

The fact that only 1 person has received it.

I haven't gotten it, but I'm not sure I'd even see it since I renamed otacerts just in case they did this.

I guess I'll wait a little longer to be skeptical...considering only 1 person on THIS forum says they recieved it. That doesn't mean only 1 person recieved it.
Plus, with all the users here running custom roms already, how many of us are even going to see it pushed to thier phones ? I know it won't come up on mine at all because of that.
We'll see...maybe it's real, maybe it's not but I think it may be a little early to think otherwise.

Exactly -- only one screenshot from one user. Given the number of us who frequent this forum, our sample size is large enough that more of us should have it by now if it existed.

Not really. For about 5 days the only guy that had received the first OTA update was a writer at Phandroid. It eventually got pushed out to everyone.

So what is the motivation for photoshoping the screen shot?

I'm running the CM test rom and when i go to "About phone" in settings. the option to check for software updates is gone. I figured because of that, i would not see any OTA's pushed to my phone....I'm not trying to say it's real, i'm just saying it's pretty fast to call someone out.

I think the OP is just trying to see if anyone else gets it. If someone does get it and doesn't have clockworkmod recovery, be sure to logcat so we can get the file.
If you have clockwork recovery you should be able to accept the update, because cwm won't flash it but the update will stay on your sdcard.

if any of you want, ill be more than happy to demo the damn thing with a damn webcam as proof the screenshot isnt photoshoped.

I don't know if anyone seen this but Verizon tweeted something earlier today too about sharing your data connection....it seems to fit the update giving WiFi hotspot. I could be a dummy but I believe the guy. Hopefully more people will see it soon.

I was going to try this, but I got worried that I would brick my new phone when I saw the firmware is different. Chainfire's method uses XXUAMD2 firmware. My Build Number is JDQ39.I337UCUAMDB. It is close, but not the same.

they want someone stupid to try it out instead of them and report their success or failure first lol

im sure most people dont even have this phone yet because its not out. Mine does not arrive till tommorow

I thoiught I saw a post in the Development thread that this method does not work - I may be wrong, but I am pretty sure that is the case, unfortunately. I have faith that Chainfire of someone will get us rooted soon enough - (hell, I don't even have my S4 yet - won't arrive until tomorrow
But - Unless I had seen someone else had successfully rooted using any method, I do not think I would even think about being the first one to try it. lol

How long before the AT&T source code is released? We should be able to get a work around once we have that.

This will be my first Android phone that didn't have root before it was released, and I've bought nearly all of them on release date, taken it home, and rooted it before doing anything! I won't be selling my SIII right away since it looks like I'll be using it until we get a successful root out of this sucker....
Getting mine on Saturday if all goes to plans, willing to help test as well! I have 60 days to return it if it breaks, hahah

Yea i can't officially switch till root. S4 just arrived. Will see if I can get some root on here.

Just got mine an hour ago. Apparently, thanks to AT&T, the bootloader is locked, which could complicate the root method considerably

Im with you im not taking any updates till I know lolliepop is released and we have root for lolliepop. Then Ill update. Im anticipating it bad. They cant get it here fast enough. Im one of the ones that are having issues with data signals. Very slow.
One thing I have noticed is that if I set phone down I get full bars and good speeds. As soon as I pick up phone it drops to the smallest bar and speeds go to 2-3mbs. Im hoping lolliepop fixes it.

This is one of the first phones that I have not had the immediate urge to root. Its been a month and I am only starting to think about root and it really only to get rid of a few things like the volume warning and the airplane mode warning (Why do they even have that).

Number of bars have little to do with accuracy of signal strength.

You're having issues with the phone and your solution is to not install they incremental updates that address those issues?

If you update it via Odin, yes you'll most likely lose root. But then you take two minutes out of your life and reroot it. At least that's how easy it was with the note 3

I dont know how half of the people on here make it across the street and live another day to tell about it.

No sh=t. After the update the root method we have may not work. Once we have confirmed that ROOT WORKS. Then I will take upgrade. And then take 2 minutes out of my life and reroot it.

Ive seen a many of updates that broke root. Those that took update had to wait till root was done for the update. I want to keep root.

And I dont know how all these snobs on the forums have a life. Always looking down your nose at others that may not have your experience in this hobby. Always making snobish comments to try to tear down instead of building up in this so called hobby.

Installing the T-Mobile Software Update?

Hi guys, I haven't updated AT ALL. I remember reading somewhere here on XDA that someone had said, "Don't update if you're planning on rooting". But I really hate the software update popping up on me, and I'd like to have better battery from the second update T-Mobile sent out. What are your guys opinions? Will updating really affect any chances of me rooting my snapdragon S7 Edge? Since they update the 'security' of my device?

You need to update. If anything, you will only be able to unlock bootloader after an update where T-mobile allows to do so. They have previously stated they are working with Samsung on a solution. By not updating, you are only depriving yourself of much need software fixes.

Right? Either way I updated didn't take me a second to think about it because of root. Pfst if you don't want the fixes that the updates have pushed out then ok. But I'm telling you my battery life! Now I get really good 4 to 5 hours of normal use. I'm happy before the update I'd get 330 to 4 hours

It's a good update. Its 4pm and I have 68% remaining. Before the update I would have had about 38%
Usage is consistent. No real bug that I have noticed.

The update also fixes the overly sensitive touch screen. Definitely worth it. Also, if you're hoping for root to get ad blocking, check out netguard.

Definitely a great update, but I personally update regardless. And if it f**** me, so be it. I'm just saying I've seen others say more NOT to if you plan on rooting. Which I do, but I'm just a dumbass like that! LoL

Think this update made my battery worse tbh. I've been at work for 4 hours now with light usage and it's at 77%. It didn't get that low with heavier usage in same time frame pre update. Haven't installed anything before or after.

I have installed the updates and the overall performance and battery have improved a lot.

All those who buy new phone when it is first released become beta testers. Simple as that.

**** it might as well lol. I'm getting tired of seeing that stupid update notification anyway. I was just really holding back because I wanted to root my phone so I can get snappreffs and I can save dem nudes lol.

I updated after updating my boyfriend's phone. Got jealous. Going to jump soon anyways. Just need $22 more in payments. This device, as stated by many others, is dead and really has no development future. By the time bootloader is unofficially or officially unlocked there will be barely any developers with the phone still. Just enjoy the software updates. Pretty sure you need them for the latest Good Lock to work anyways, which is awesome btw no more quick connect or S search wasting space in my notification bar.

It works pretty well....its a standalone app...no major special filters...but its stable and you download everything like snapprefs so it doesn't send notification of screenshot... Because in all actuality you don't screen shots....Casper logs you out of the snapchat app...so it cannot be used simultaneously... Its a good alternative until we get root access.

[Q] Verizon Galaxy S7 Nougat update.

Hi everybody.
Do anybody know when Verizon Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge Nougat update and reason to delay?
I cannot make sense ever major provider(such as AT&T,Tmobile,Sprint) is updated but Not Verizon.
Thanks.

I wouldn't be surprised if Verizon didn't get the update until after the announcement/release of the S8.

Yep. It's really disappointing.

Why? Because f**k us, that's why!
Likely just an issue of them taking their sweet-assed time putting their bloatware applications into the firmware, and I'm sure they've been extra slow after the official 7.0 worldwide rollout started and was halted for a whole like 2-3 days after a couple of bugs surfaced.

I always get a new phone by the time Verizon gives me an update. I know someone that got nougat on his T-Mobile GS7 Edge and someone that got her GS7 update last night on Sprint.

I don't think it's related to Verizon bloat considering the turbo 2 is getting the update now. I'm really annoyed that one of the top selling, highest rated phones of the year is taking this long to update.

This! Get it together verizon, every other S7 is getting the update why aren't we? Kinda furstrating and makes me want to leave verizon or starting purchasing unlocked models so I can root them and get updates on a regular basis instead of waiting for Verizon to release an official.

Verizon has always been one of the last (if not the last) to roll out updates.

It would be nice to receive the final update after being stuck on the beta for months, where every time my phone shuts off it resets all my settings and themes. But oh well, I guess Verizon just doesn't care about their customers all that much.

That beta was unbearable. Constantly had issues with text messages on it for some reason. They would keep failing to send and I would miss messages from people as well. Very annoying.
