Hi I have a G5+ US version phone. I have TWRP and Magisk installed. I want to upgrade to the latest OTA. Where can I get the OTA, and what is the procedure with an unlocked and rooted phone? See screen shots of about phone.
TIA

You need to flash the firmware to update the device if you update it's with root then the device will hard brick, so you need to flash the whole firmware so you can upgrade the device.

Can I remove root, and update it with an OTA, of does the unlocked bootloader cause a problem as well?
Do you know where I can get the firmware?

You need to unmodified all things which you have installed,such as root, module's,etc. To flash the ota if there any modifications, then there are changes of brick. So suggest you to flash the firmware. And if you want data then use LMSA and make a backup and restore after upgrading it.
I think I am just going to do a custom rom instead.

Oreo is flashed, done, not messing around, thanks for your input. Used the NZedPred ROM, looks like stock and all my data was untouched.

I'm a relative noob to flashing rom's. Can someone tell me if I'm understanding this correctly?
Installing this update will *unroot* my phone? So after installing this update through odin, I will need to install twrp again while in download mode? And then, once that's installed, reroot my phone?

Don't relock bootloader with MM ROM.
(if you already have N firmware, right now)
After flashing MM, you will receive OTA for N, and it will brick your device.
Do it with latest N september patch (available in guide section)

You can, but you need to remember that "don't take OTA in future, never tap update notification"
Also if you sell or give your phone to someone else, give them latest N.

Yes, fastboot commands are same.
hi! i know this is something irrelevant but since this is related to bootloader unlocking,i wanted to question that if i wanted to relock my bootloader which was on the sept 01 patch when unlocked;would i have to flash the same build from the fastboot again to relock it?and will it be safe to install ota updates after relocking the bootloader and reverting to the stock rom?

Only for taking OTA, locked bootloader is not necessary, you can take OTA with unlocked bootloader too.
things to take care of,
don't flash older firmwares than you have at the moment,
As you have september patch, flash september (while relocking too), don't downgrade.
If you downgrade, then don't take OTA. Warned..

My bad!
GPT and bootloader won't get flashed if you downgrade, it will fail, you can't flash older versions.
I don't know if it's possible to lock without flashing them, You can try flashing without GPT and Bootloader.
Just a suggestion! You don't need to flash the firmware again, if you are already on it. For eg, If you are already on Sept patch and want to relock, you don't need to flash the ROM again to relock it. Just use the fastboot commands.
I would recommend to leave it unlocked, because if anything went wrong with your device, atleast you will be able to save the data of internal memory atleast!

Can someone please help me out?
What's the problem to pull it off the stock firmware?
BTW, I'd try BOK3 rather then BPB1.

I like the simple design and battery life of this version when I had it in 2014 on a G900A. This Marshmallow and Lollipop stuff is absolute bs. Battery life on Lollipop gives me 4 hours and Marshmallow about 2 hours. I'm hoping that KK would give me better performance and battery life on this G900V.

Yeah....This was a terrible idea. A auto update managed to install and I'm hard bricked. I'm not sure if it updated to the next update or to 6.0.1. Does you know where to find a debrick image?

Nope, only showed this 'Qhub' thing in device manager and didn't show in odin. Found a PD1 unbrick img, wrote it to a sd card with win32 disk imager, put in the sd, held the buttons for download mode, and it booted. Yeah, A total hard brick. I'm not gonna do that anymore, lmao. Found a great way to disable a phone though.
I also have a cid 15 g900v, what can that do compared to a cid 11? I know a bootloader unlock but what's that mean? I can install any rom?

Locked bootloader is called locked because it can only boot a signed, stock kernel (boot.img).
It's locked in SM-G900V by default.
CID15 means that you can unlock the bootloader and use a custom/modified kernel, if you want.
For example, it's necessary for LOS or for rooting on Android 6.0 and above.

So I could build roms if I wanted?
Or you could sell the CID15 phone to me via swappa to make a little $$$? I'm actively looking for one...
I just downgraded from BPB1 and unlocked bootloader and disabled Reactivation lock last night. CID (15) I think it's CID, but 15 none the less. Also I knew the login info for Samsung account. I believe you have to know. I still have all files, but I don't know how I'd get them to you. Also have a paid FlashFire.APK. I can also tell you what you need to fill when it comes time to flash NCG via FlashFire. LET ME KNOW, BUD. Took me months to find all files and the correct method. Now on 6.0.1. Fully rooted. :angel:

Stay on oreo, pie is a disappointment over oreo in many ways, like BB reduced, sound quality reduced, no night light and most important you can't play PUBG in HD and many more.
If you really want to taste pie then you can use custom pie roms otherwise stay on stock oreo.

To install any rom using twrp you must download the rom and place it in your storage
Then boot into twrp
Click on install and and browse to your file click on it and flash it...
You can also do clean flash by wiping your sytem and data before flashing....
I saved update file on SD card, restarted mobile and update proces itself started.
Everything was fine.

I do not recommend do that, because you will probably have a soft brick, try to do a clean installation of the firmware instead.
