Why didn't att just play nice and update to V3? Instead they update To V4 so I can't flip flop between t-mobile firmware and there's. Does root still work? On the other hand, I can flash Verizon firmware I guess.

I haven't attempted rooting it, and I won't be. There might be a small chance that it may work but I'm not sure.

Well ... if root doesn't work I know what my next firmware will be. (Tmobile)
I can't root, looks like it's back to the drawing board. It figures this happen as soon as I feel it necessary to root my device......
I advise everyone to not take any OTAs after the first August patch so you can still be able to root and flash roms. It isn't a problem for me since I wasn't planning on rooting this phone again anyways..

Pretty sure the eng boot will still work on the new BL, just no old ROMs. :^)

@raremind couldn't root on BL4. It's unfortunate how we can't root on API2, but if the developers are willing to find out a new way to gain root access on API2, then it wouldn't be the end of the world for anyone who wants the latest OTA but still want root.

I took the OTA to get the latest version, so unfortunately I don't have the actual firmware link.

Yeahhh, thought I'd give it a go
G930U firmware was just updated to API3 which has the incremented bootloader, so the individuals who updated to the latest AT&T firmware can use U firmware now. :victory:

I heard that the Rom's might be updated OTA. If this is the case does that mean that mine will also be automatically updated?? I dont really want to lose root and i have no idea if the new Rom will be able to be rooted!

Where are the firmware update settings in Villain 5.2?
If you're on a custom rom, OTA is disabled.

if you want to unroot your phone forever then do it. you can as well install the 2.1 RUU once it is out. it will happily stay on your hero until the display turns off for the last time...
now you just have to ask yourself why you would want to do such a terrible thing...
Haha, that's true. I plan on waiting until there's a custom 2.1 based on the official one which will allow root access, but I have a friend who will only use official firmwares for some reason.
Maybe I should steal his phone and root it without him knowing!
I just got a system update notice on my LG G2. When I went to the support page, it is "unavailable".

Do not accept it. Its to patch the root exploit. They did the same to the gs4

If you took the update can you try the one click root in dev. Interested in seeing if it still works.

Yes...it doesn't patch root. If you are rooted and do not have a custom recovery installed. You can accept the update and it does nothing. If you have TWRP installed, you need to flash the stock recovery, accept the update and then flash back to TWRP after.

No I wasn´t on Lollipop. I just reinstalled all from scratch in order to test it for you. IDK if you can downgrade. You should try. Its an official firm.
Has anyone downgraded with this from lollipop ?
Can some one share the ota for lolli? I live in mexico and cant update my alpha.

What would happen if I try to downgrade with ODIN and it doesn't work? Would it brick or would nothing happen?
I downgraded from 5.0.2 using this firmware earlier today. It does definitely work. Too bad there's still not a root method and it looks like pitpin gave up on his.
Is it pre unlocked or do we have to get the phone unlocked again ? I am currently on unlocked lollipop.
Sim unlock has nothing to do with ROM files. The unlocked or locked status won't change.

So, anyone flash this yet? I'm tempted but won't be back home to a PC (in case something goes wrong) until tonight. Just looking for some general impressions.
So, I did this. Pretty impressed with the overall device feel now, SE9 is nice . No hang ups other thank it took a long friggin' time, also remember this will WIPE all the data, so make sure to do a backup prior to. The initial/first phone setup is very iPhone-ish, imo.

Be warned; this update is ONLY for SM-G930A firmware - it has a second-stage updater that blocks all other versions (including SM-G930T, which I myself tried). In other words, it is a carrier-specific update, folks.

You could try flashing G930A firmware in Odin and updating that way.

If it weren't for this being a daily driver, I'd consider it. However, because it is, that's not an option. So I'll have to wait for either a neutral version or one that will work with the SM-G930T.
I am currently testing it out, I was on the latest U firmware and downloaded the latest ATT firmware, will update on how it goes

Is this the most current software version for the unlocked variant of the S9+? If not, please help me download it.

I believe you need RJ2 from the G965U1 firmware thread. Use Odin to flash that and then go to the Pie beta thread for the 965U1 for the beta files.
