New T Mobile Firmware and Bootloader Update - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discuss

Looks like the new T Mobile firmware update has a huge change...G930TUVS8CRJ1...updates the bootloader to b8. Just a heads up as SamFirm lets you download this update now. Looks like the U firmware is going this route too.

If not OTA yet, you can definitely download it and install it through ODIN. It is coming

Yep....at least for right now. That was the point of the public service announcement. I have two sprint phones, one on b4 and the other on b5, so this is a little welcomed surprise.

It looks like the U firmware should be updated to b8 shortly, so there is always that.

Well that's fairly miserable. Fortunately I must have had several updates queued or something, because my phone updated but I was able to downgrade. Must not have been the update that updated the bootloader.

Read what I wrote. The upgrade my phone performed wasn't the v8 bootloader one. I think my phone had 2 upgrades to do, and the second one was the bootloader update. I dodged a bullet.

Thanks for posting this PSA! This is one of the reasons why I wait for I update. The carriers out there are getting slimy about the bootloaders.
:good:

Is there no way to root after this update?

will i be able to install this manually like i did the leaked .3 version or will it mess up my phone
Engadget
I just read this on Engadget, I have to say I give HTC and Sprint a lot of credit for under promising and over delivering in my opinion. I absolutely love this phone and to know that both the carrier and the manufacturer are fully behind supporting the phone after launch is a great relief! I never hear of companies doing anything early or at least on time when it comes to software updates...I'm pleasantly surprised!

nand backup and give it a shot, you will most likely lose root
yea good question, I don't mind losing root to install this...but do I just wipe and flash this file as is...because I have fresh's ROM installed now...

Just got an OTA on Verizon (10 July).

Anyone install yet? I'm not about to take it unless it has some major improvements.

I would advise against it, if you want root, and possible bootloader unlock. It may not cause any issues, but why risk it?
Did you get the one that bumped you up to 11A yet? And how big does it say the file is?
I got an update on sprint that I'm passing up on myself until I see more about it

What version are you on now? If you are on 11A and getting an update, it is a new one.
I know it could be meaningless because they could be pushing it out in waves, but I am on 11A and an update check shows there is nothing out there.
Got the update last night.never took it though..my build #right now on sprint is lmy47d....guys do NOT update until root has been pushed out to us..could be nothing but then again why chance it...

Could someone please explain to me what being on 11A means? I don't recall if this is the update that disabled downgrading or not, if so that sucks.
EDIT: Apparently it is, well my excitement & anticipation been shot down quite a bit. -.-, sad really because I purchased this phone July 1st, shouldn't have this update on it...especially from eBay, shame.

No duh Sherlock .
I keep refreshing the Nexus factory image page to see when the time stamp changes.... I don't have patience to wait for an OTA lol. It's just a really likely rumor that it will be released today though. Not a whole lot based on actual facts.
www.android.com According to this website it's already here. Now we just have to wait for factory images.
If one manually flashes the factory image, will that process properly repartition the drive so that it'll be able to take advantage of Seamless Updates?

No. That won't happen however you do it; I believe seamless updates will only work with new devices designed specifically to make use of it.

Can you upload the OTA or something?
FYI, you have to be running Preview N and enrolled in the link below to get the update. I enrolled my device and the update came in instantly.

No update on Tmobile here, also manually checked and nothing
No update on AT&T (manually checked)
I'm sure it's to lock it down more or something to due with a bug in their own apps.
Already a thread for this. I keep deferring it. 11A is the version it keeps trying to update to.

I did this as well and once a day it still prompts the install and you have to defer it.
