OTA 5.5.893 Released!

I just got a notice on my phone to update to 5.5.893. I should wait to apply forever root first, right?

If you want root!

Hmmm, I just checked & didn't have an option to update. "Your device is up to date."

Same here no update

Just checked, no update available for me. I have been keeping stock so far. If i get to .893, I can SBF back and then do the foreverroot technique, correct?

you can but it is easier if you do the foreverroot first then install the update

This for real? Anyone else see this update? I can't believe that there would not be more press on this if was actually rolling out.

No. We would see documentation from vzw. The op is either confused or lying.

It's Real!

Funny thing when I did:
find /cache -mmin -5
I found the files were actually named:
/cache/Blur_Version.5.5.893.XT875.Verizon.en.US.zip
/cache/Blur_Version.5.5.893.XT875.Verizon.en.US.crc
I have copied these files to my sdcard, if anyone has a place to host them let me know!

From my logcat
10-30 17:59:19.468 757 1867 I WSBase : doRequest(): url: http://ws-cloud2-sdc100.blurdev.com....5.5.886.XT875.Verizon.en.US:-143928019&ssl=0

Interesting. Perhaps a vzw push mistake? Usually we see documentation before these go out.

I've tried to install twice and failed
Just to let you know, I have downloaded and attempted to install the update twice.
Once, foolishly hoping I could just update R3Blur3d, and again from close to stock.
This last time, I attempted the update from within Clockwork Recovery, and it gave me some details, the automatic update didn't:
assert failed for the file /system/build.prop, rebuild.fingerprint.
To me, it looks like, if the /system/build.prop file is modified, then this OTA won't go through.
I'm going to make sure, I'm as close to stock as possible and try again!

You would have to flash these in stock recovery on a forever rooted stock phone. Don't use clockwork.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App

Very Interesting
Once my phone was set totally back to stock, my phone said that there is no update available. It still says that it will not install the update zip file I have due to a problem with the build.prop file.
Originally, I was running R3Blur3rd, which had system files based upon 5.5.893. So, I'm not sure what this update notification meant.

OTA 5.5 Update is being rolled out in batches in an attempt to prevent another data outage like they had when the iPhone 4s rolled out. Fyi

Which is being rolled out? 5.5.893 or 5.6.893?

When you get this flashed, please post a screen shot of your about phone settings. The 5.5 file is much larger than 5.6. The 5.6 file has a new LTE radio and webtop app nothing more. So technically, you should receive both 5.5 & 5.6 OTA.
Thanks

S5 Active Update

Hit the check update on my S5 Active this morning and to my surprise its pulling a 1434.38 MB Download. Looks like us Active users are finally getting the update!
As exciting as it is...if you value your root access DON'T install this yet! As it stands now, Once your on the L bootloader their's no going back. Give the dev's some time to sort it out first

I think so but you have to be bone stock to do it...hence no traces of prior root. Otherwise it fails to update.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A

I'm bone stock and don't care for root. It took 4-5 hours to download and install the update. I had to clear room first too, before it would actually install.
However, my Active is much zipper than it ever was, and that's including the ****ty 4.4.4 update which brought it to a slow crawl.

Hey guys, silly question, but I have no idea how to apply this update now that I have downloaded it on pc. Having difficulty figuring out how to flash with Odin as it is. Can. Pretty new at this, I appreciate your patience.

I'm like you i don't know what to do with this cfg. When i rename to zip, it doesn't work.

I attempted this but it did not work. Any additional tips?

My little cousin soft bricked.
he said he went into SU and did "full unroot" and after the reboot got stuck on the AT&T logo.
I've tried every which way I could think of using odin to try and reflash everything under the sun and cannot find a solution.

New OTA update on June 2nd

I'm receiving it now (regular S6 owners claiming the same too)!
It is still 5.0.2 just the memory leak/performance/fingerprint/etc fixes and enhancements as well as the promised rotation fix.
Unfortunately when I click "Learn more online" it doesn't do anything (yet).

Does this update kill root?

No idea yet. It's about 272 mb. If it isn't uploaded by tonight I'll upload it when I get home.
Coming from an HTC M7 that was rooted and s-off with an unlocked bootloader, how can we install the update if rooted, other than Odin back and risk no root after?

I believe if we get 5.1 then it will kill root, this update just bug fixes. I will wait till we get a rooted update.

I was willing to test if taking the OTA would break root. Unfortunately I've tried twice to take the update but it keeps failing. Not sure if I have something frozen that is causing the installation failure.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I downloaded the OTA fine, it just fails when it tries to install. I'm not using odin.

so how would we get the update? wait for a rooted version?

Took the OTA and it does kill root. I tried both the beta 5.1 and the beta 6 versions.

It may only temporarily kill root, the app will have to be uploaded to include the new firmware model. .. it may be slow to get updated, since I have seen pingpongroot updated in a week

Marshmallow 6.0 update for Sprint

Just received an update for Sprint. I'm in northern Indiana.
Was 995MB I believe. Downloaded and updated OTA
Just finished updating. I'll play with it over the weekend and report back if anyone is interested.
(at this point, I really don't care about root or bootloader unlock. I've kinda given up hope for bootloader unlock and figured I'd update since I'll look for another device soon anyway)

So is it Marshmallow?

I've restarted my phone and then the update message doesn't show up. It does say the download is complete, I tapped "Restart and Install," it counted down from 10 and starting the upgrade then gave me that error message.

I'm not a G4 owner (lurking here trying to decide on my next phone) but it sounds like a bad download. I'd use a file browser and see if you can find the update file on the root of your internal storage. Perhaps deleting it and letting it download again will help. Or update manually as the folks above said.

Moto X 2nd Gen is affected by 'Quadrooter', How to Fix?

'Quadrooter' flaws affect over 900 million Android phones
Moto X 2nd gen is vulnerable to the Quadrooter according to this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.checkpoint.quadrooter
Since Motorola never released any security patch and Moto X is out of their future OS update program, what are the options left for the existing Moto X 2nd gen users who want to stick with stock ROM and don't want to part with their Moto X any time soon?

i allready check with Quad Rooter Scan and its possitive the mobile had the 4 vulnerabilities.....the only solution is go to cm13 ....for the moment when the patch is out go back to stock. I hope it will be soon, the news is everywhere so Qualcom has to do something.

I received a security update zip this morning. Unfortunately, I haven't posted enough on XDA to be able to include a link to it. Maybe someone will put it up for everyone.
I would love to have a version of it that I can flash while rooted. I'm not really looking forward to reverting to stock and doing that whole mess...

I had a tough time because I couldn't find the 6.0 system files. Are they available anywhere?

I've also been getting nagged about a security update. I'm rooted so I've been ignoring it. If it's important I'd also like to see a version that's flashable while rooted.

Put it on your internal storage and reboot to recovery. Select apply update from sdcard (or something like that). This will only work if you are truly stock with no modifications to the system partition.

Thanks, I was also thinking about that option in recovery if it will work, but never tried so was skeptical.
One more thing, if I update through this route then will my stock phone will turn into 'modified' one or will remain stock? Will there be any problem in case some OTA arrives?

This should leave you 100% stock
