Downloaded and installed. Seems to be working fine. DID NOT AFFECT ROOT. I did, however, start getting messages about "unauthorized actions have been detected". Not sure what that is about.
I believe the purpose of this OTA update is to: 1. Update the bootloader from OC4 to OF2 (maybe to prep for 5.1 to roll out?) and 2. Patch the Samsung keyboard vulnerability. I don't think they'd be able to fit much more into an update this small.

The update is 300MB. I've installed 4.4.4 ROMs and GApps smaller than that. I'm interested to see what all is getting updated, as I'm sure many other people here are.
Yep.. I shall be avoiding this one for now.
From reports I have seen, I think many have taken the update expecting 5.1 lol
This one just seems to plug up more holes. Probably a good update for normal users. Probably a bad one for ppl planning on trying to get root.
I am curious about the state of the bootloader in this update tho. Maybe there is a small chance it's not locked down as bad and will allow a downgrade
Can anyone fill me in on that part? Wishful thinking but you never know u guess

On reboot, I got the "System software not authorized by AT&T hasa been found on your phone". No way to boot up. Hoping for a solution from one of the nice folks here.
Sounds like this bootloader is even more evil than oc4

Umm it depends what ur after.. root still may be possible in the future... if u want to wait out for that I wouldn't update.
From what I see the update is anti root and fixes keyboard exploit.. that's about it.

I just caught my phone trying to install the update but thank you samsung for a removable battery lol . Just a warning don't just keep hitting remind me it will just start updating .
I haven't got anything yet.. I'm hoping my custom apn with fota removed will delay this
I think it should be criminal for samsung or att to be able to "force" updates without user consent.
Even if they are patching security exploits.
I think you can say for certain that they are probably more concerned that you can use this exploit to root your phone or do things with it they don't want you to... more so than they are worried about the keyboard exploit harming you.
It's just not normal for att to act this fast to patch something like this.
Keep holding out, I'm sure we can acomplish something using the exploit

There's another thread going that reports to have the stock recovery image for OC4. I wonder if it's possible to downgrade via odin to roll back this update to include restoring the keyboard vulnerability that's being explored by @TheBadgers as a potential means to achieve root.

It seems that many 925A'ers are not leaving this forum to find out that YES, we have root! The unnecessary questions, comments, doubts are starting to pile up, so maybe this is the best way to ensure everyone knows that YES (again), we have root. Here are THREE posts from the SAME person in DIFFERENT threads asking the SAME thing:

If that won't drive you crazy, it should at least get you warned for not following forum rules and searching instead of posting for no reason..... If that user searched, they would have easily found this thread showing you exactly how to root the 925A!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3103016
To be 110% clear....... this was developed by @idler1984, NOT me, so thank them - all credit goes to them, I'm just trying to keep the 925A forum cleared up if at all possible!
ENJOY!
EDIT - and because someone asked........ Root has been achieved for both OCE and the 5.13.15 OE2 update
EDIT 2 - and because more people can't read, you CANNOT root anything past May 15th builds, so none of the OF_ updates, nothing that comes out after May 15th, so don't update unless you want to lose root! The information is all there in the thread linked above, if you don't read, you don't have anyone to blame but yourself!
Good job. Was thinking of doing the same.
omg thank you. by the way that first quote was mine sorry. and i did search to no avail. thanks a bunch for clearing this up. and ill try to be more thorough with my search next time.

Okay, that makes sense then, OC9 instead of what I thought you were talking about, "OE9" which I guess does not exist (yet?)
They skipped that one because OE2 is out and there's no need to get the build in the middle developed, from what I can tell.... I've been wrong before though! Just hit your software update and get OE2 then root that, it has the most updates we're going to see before 5.1.1 comes out next month (still more speculating, but that's an informed guess this time based on lots of reading up on the new Galaxy from across the web)

New bootloader blocks downgrading, be careful installing 5.1.1 OTA!
Kernel built after May 15th (including some 5.0.2 and all 5.1.1) have this bug fixed. Be cautious when installing OTA these days and FlashFire might be your best shot of upgrading systems. Use Odin to unroot and receive OTA if you want.

No, can't be done. This was the best place to ask so save yourself the time and stop Googleing. It can not be done.
just want to confirm that this cannot be done even if we are not concerned about tripping KNOX sensor? i am so sad, i've been away from rooting devices and i should have known better when i was updating that i should have rooted first.
Still no. If you took OF3 there is no going back or rooting. Sorry, some work is being done but no progress and probably won't happen.
any updates?
Been 2 months any updates? Like a DA i updated to this current version OTA, as a long time rooter I should have known better.

Long time lg user here im actually comming from a g4 to a active because one i love the phone im a mechanic i cracked my screen and it works fine just dont wanna dammage it any more. Im so fed up with lgs locked bls. Ive done a lotta test with g4 and the encryptions used are crazy. Ive seen unlocks and roots come year s later. Were dealing with a no rootable situation on marshmallow. Bootloader in mm checks integrity on system partition also no bl unlock no root. And android n will even be worse. I personaly think unless it a completly low end phone development is dead unles u buy a developer or internqtional series phones. The new encryprions use 256 bit keys which are just about uncrackable

QUOTE - But right now owners on AT&T's network aren't getting Marshmallow. They're getting Android 5.1.1 as part of build number G900AUCU4COI5.
- This OTA also brings Android for Work, and an Ultra Power Saver mode fix for encrypted devices.

No, ZV7 is not out yet. But it is in development as indicated by the new RDF.
http://device.sprintpcs.com/LG/LS991-SPRINT/LS991ZV7.rdf
Now I checked a few days ago and this wasn't here. It's also noteworthy that with the H815 getting 6.0 this might be what's coming our way. We saw something similar when ZV8 came out for the G3, it was a different version on the RDF. I'll try and poke the bear, see what I can find out.
In the meantime let the speculation begin!
I wouldn't hold my breath for M --YET-- it's way to soon. Besides inside the rdf file it says 5.1. Probably just additional security updates, and perhaps some additional enhancements like we had with ZV5 & ZV6. I do like your speculation though. ?

With M out already for the global version and it supposedly out in short order afterwards for US... Well, stranger thing have happened.
I just hope the exploits we use to DD the custom ROMs doesn't get patched with 5.1 update, could be a prep for M complete with security fixes. If so I may pass on the update and or M. Just my opinion only time will tell....
OK. G3 is now showing an update ALSO in the works. And what two devices are supposed to get M first for LG?
If that's not M it's a fix that affects them both... Stagefright's already patched so not sure what other big ones are out there.

I probably will too. If you guys haven't heard M will need you to flash a custom boot.img/kernel for root, which I imagine would almost definitely throw a secure boot error for us.

For those of you wanting the recovery file for AT&T either because your phone has stopped working while rooting or just to keep yourself covered, here you go. Credit to @br3w3r as he spent a lot of time last night helping me get this done when my phone stopped working.
YOU MUST USE THE ODIN FILE LINKED HERE. ANY OTHER WILL NOT WORK.
Trying to use any other will result in a model mismatch failure.
Download the June firmware here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24572369242688242
Necessary version of Odin - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24572369242688248
Credit to @Venom0642 for the updated links!
Standard process. Open Odin, put your phone in download mode, select the firmware as AP, hit start and let Odin do it’s thing. Saved my bacon when I got stuck with an issue last night.
very much appreciated, i couldnt update due to being on a different carrier then at&t. Im still on the original firmware when the phone came out.

I'm interested also if Samsung pay will work after a restore, but since my bank still isn't part of it and I have root now, I'm not interested enough to try it lol.

Yeah, my bank isn't fond of these types of payment methods either. And honestly, pulling out my phone is no easier than pulling out my wallet. And my wallet won't shatter if I drop it fumbling around. Either way, same amount of steps. It's a cool novelty but that's about it (to me personally). But if anyone does test it, I'll definitely update the post to say definitively one way or the other for those who love Samsung Pay.

The file in the OP is for the 935A.

I would wait for someone to post one specific to the 930A. This is for the 935A and as far as I know they're not interchangeable. So I would wait for a post on the 930A (which I'll do if I find firmware for one and someone verifies it works), or wait for someone to verify this worked on theirs.

Please do upload the newest for the 930A if you find someone able to help you obtain it.
Like the other person, I am on a different carrier and still on the release firmware due to AT&T not sending the OTA out unless you have an AT&T SIM.
Can confirm that Samsung Pay works.

Is this with a rooted phone? which version? What update are you on? How did you get it to work? Have you tested Samsung Pay at a store? Thanks

I think he means after flashing back to this firmware. I have seen other users posting that it seems to result in Samsung Pay working but haven't seen anyone claiming to have actually used it. I'll update the OP once someone states they got it to function at a store after flashing back to stock.
So far, having root for certain disables it unless @sy7hf7tgtgrf found a method that no one else has yet.

Haven't tested at a store yet but will try to soon. I am on the stock firmware you uploaded so no root here.
I've noticed that somethings aren't fully working correctly though.
A lot of AT&T's modifications seem to be missing.
For one I can't really setup my Visual Voicemail now, and some sections in device settings are a bit different.
Pretty sure all is fine though.

It actually had the opposite effect for me funnily enough on VVM. I never was able to get it working after buying the phone and it was a pleasant surprise to find it working on this firmware. It had always given me an error about contacting AT&T because it seemed my plan didn't support it (though it did). Never followed up though as I very rarely use the phone for calls. Also was happy to see a toggle for LTE was added instead of having to dig in the settings to turn it on or off! All the stock AT&T apps seem to be there for me, though I'm not sure on the modifications. It's noticeably faster in Geekbench than it was the day I bought it, which leads me to believe maybe this is indeed stock, but before AT&T messed with it much. I hope you can get VVM working. But do keep us posted on the results of Samsung Pay in store!
MUST use the files linked. Saved my A$$ so listen to him...hahaha!
BTW, I successfully installed G935U roms on G935A.
It is so much cleaner with no ATT bloatware and much fewer samsung bloatwares.

Interesting. You had no trouble with it? What's the experience like?
