Thanks. Do you know if the firmware will come with new radio?

Yes. It comes with updated radio image.

So does that mean AT&T 8.9 4g lte will get their update?
If so it's great timing. The iPad mini is being released tomorrow.
That means I can sell this piece of 5hit Samsung AT&T delay device and get an apple.
I'm so pissed of all the delays Samsung has been doing to all their devices.

Great!

OTA for Canadian Carriers (Telus/Bell/Rogers)
It was reported today on mobilesyrup.com that the Bell, TELUS and Rogers Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich now available.
We know those ICS ROM's are available as per the OP's links, but some of the comments below that article indicate the Canadian Carriers have started OTA upgrades to ICS!!!
It's about time!

If you look in my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1936044
A CSR at Rogers told me their update was released by devs over two weeks ago but no one seemed to be able to download it. I just checked my device and suddenly I have it available as an OTA update. Odd...

Got notic=fication this monring on my tab, and took around 15 min (download + install) get the it upgraded.
New UI, I assume maybe just me, I am too used to honeycomb, it take time for me to get used to the new UI. But I do like the browser with the "desktop view " option. And I can get Chrome on it now as well.

I have the AT&T S5 running Lollipop.
I don't recall - but I *think* I got this device before Lollipop was released. I got the device in May'14. My research shows that Lollipop came out Nov'14.
So - if I got the device with the prior release - but it's running Lollipop now - is there a way to root it?
Thanks.

No I have the same problem. I have been waiting for months now

If you took the lollipop OTA then no, there is still no active root available.

Any news on root yet?

If you are on the official 5.0+ ota, through any means other than the prerooted flashfire method, there is no known way to downgrade, root, etc. If you flashed the ota for lollipop, bought your phone and it had lollipop, or took the ota, and it is an att s5 (G900A) then it is not, at the time of me posting this, possible to downgrade to KitKat or root or anything of the sort.

Does anyone have the firmware for the lollipop on s5 active?

Does anyone know if models of S5 being sold as new now are being released with lollipop or kitkat preinstalled?
Is there a way to know by serial number on the box?
The reason I am asking is I just purchased one online a few days ago on the daily steals website has it was advertised As new and unlocked. I did not realize being that I am from Canada that this was a lockdown AT&T model. It is scheduled to arrive in the next day or so and I would prefer not to open the box and affect my ability to return it without restocking fee if it already comes with lollipop on it. Hi I'm less concerned about achieving root and more concerned about having the ability to native flea tether on my plan back here in Canada.
Also if it did come with lollipop firmware preinstalled, is there a way to enable native tethering on the phone if root is not achievable?

I'm not sure either I would just see if it is a 5.0 and below and just achieve root its so simple then you flash native tethering it just sounds like that would be the easiest way

5.0 and below or just kit Kat?

Not getting my hopes up, but hopefully with 6.0 there will be an exploit.

KitKat 4.4.2, if you're on 4.4.4 you can downgrade, any higher (5.0) and you're stuck.

How can I root my Galaxy S5? It was At&t, i brought it over to Straight Talk

I purchased my friends S5 which was from AT&T and then I used the BYOP plan with Straight Talk. How do I root this? I tried Towelroot and it says its not supported. Also what ROMs can I get with this if any? I want to root to get rid of all the at&t pre installed apps on here that I cant use with Straight talk. Also pretty new to this. I have Odin on my laptop from installing stock firmware on my S3. Any help with root and ROMs would be much appreciated.

Good morning bump

Need model and ROM version.

Found out my NEW Note 4 I brought is on Android 5.1.1 (DOK2) - Should I return it?

I just brought a NEW T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 4, and upon powering up the phone for the first time I found out the phone was on Android 5.1.1 (N910TUVU2DOK2).
Should I return this phone?
The reason I am considering returning this phone is because it is my understanding that the SM-N910T on Android 5.1.1 CANNOT do the following:
1. Cannot be rooted (partially or completely).
2. Cannot be downgraded to Android 4.4.4.
3. Cannot have any apps installed that would unlock the mobile hotspot feature without having to go through your carrier to pay extra.
Can anyone confirm if the above restrictions are correct?

I did the same thing in january..I was so damn excited about getting a N910T that I thought I could do whatever I wanted with and I didn't read up (well enough) on developement and ended up with DOK2. It is true you can't downgrade....as of right now....but I have never had any issue at all with root or apps that require root. As far as the the hotsppt mod is concerned, I can't help too much with that info because b I use straight talk...but i think it's a hit or miss situation...I think the two most popular roms for our phones (Tekhds and Overdrives) have the mod built in but I'm not 100% sure.. but I think the only way you could get one without DOK2 would be used

You cannot downgrade, but as far as rooted there should be no problem doing that.

Yea, you can be rooted on Android: 4.4.4 -- 5.0.1 (see this thread from the first couple of threads stickied: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55989825 ). It would seem root on 5.1.1 is not possible.
On the offchance I am incorrect, please feel free to link the thread showing that 5.1.1. can be rooted on SM-N910T as I have already gone through all the sticky threads looking,....

YES! 5.1.1 CAN be rooted. Just download the newest version of CF-Auto-Root. Do NOT use the one in the thread above/ below. It's outdated. Search that thread however to find others who HAVE rooted their 5.1.1, like me.

Unfortunately the thread was not updated to reflect this fact.

I just got my phone and I am on the same version as the op. I just want to make sure that I do not brick my phone when flashinng. I am planning on using the latest version of twrp and cf autoroot.
So for twrp I'm going to flash
twrp-3.0.2-0-trltetmo.img.tar
And for cf autoroot I am going to flash
CF-Auto-Root-trltetmo-trltetmo-smn910t.zip
Which is the newest version. Just want to double check that I am not making a brick

I don't even think I need 6GB, 4GB is plenty and I'm sure the 6GB issue will be fixed and knowing that Oxygen OS is opened and the device has unlocked Bootloader it beats waiting for Note 4 to get custom MM rom.

Root for S7 found. S6...?

So a thread on Reddit pointed to a thread on XDA claiming root has been achieved on the AT&T S7 via a leaked engineering bootloader.
The same was done with the T-Mobile S6 a while back. Anyone know how/where these leaks are coming from? Can we start a bounty for the same for our 920A? I'd consider chipping in...

Just out of curiosity on your rooted s6 edge. Are you on 5.0.1 and never got 5.1.1 and that is how you have root? I'm frustrated my s6 came with 5.1.1 and can't get root. I found a video that claimed to have root for 6.0.1 on att. So I grabbed the oj9, pd5 and pd6 and adb and sideloaded to 6.0.1. Then I tried that root, I found, which bricked my phone. I have since recovered back to oj7, thanks to the awesomeness which is XDA. Thanks in advance for your reply.

So for some background: I purchased the phone on release date so it came with OCE. Since I expected the phone to be difficult to root, I was careful when updating and only updated as far as OE2. As far as I know, that was the last version able to be rooted via Ping Pong. One of the reasons I purchased the phone was the ability to use Samsung Pay and I was tempted to update to 5.1.1 with Metalcated's method for rooting 5.1.1 but as I use the fingerprint scanner, the possible issues with it were a no go for me. I've been ever vigilant for possible ways to root, but nothing has seemed too promising.
TL;DR
I am rooted on OE2 via Ping Pong and haven't updated since then since I'm waiting for a full root.
