For those of you like myself that took the new update, but may have had second thoughts about wanting to root, I just confirmed that you can flash back via Odin.
I did confirm while I was running the new OE2 update that I was not able to obtain root.

downgrade kernel and try root
It doesn't block root, it's a new kernel, pingpong dev will need the new kernel to make the root work with it, just they need the kernel for every version that they support.

You need to extract it from
AP_G920AUCU1AOCE_CL4351102_QB4488924_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
and package it up as a tar.md5 so you can use it in odin.
Or just wait for pingpong to update, I gave them the updated kernel and stuffs.

Hard to judge since it is new. Screen on time is 5 Hours 50 minutes where before I was getting about 4 Hours 10 Minutes. I removed bloat of course so it was snappy as it was when rooted before. Free memory fluctuates from 900Mb to 200Mb but that was happening with rooted OCE. The main improvement seems to be SOT.

I tried to ODIN back to stock using the tar.md5 and its giving me md5 hash value is invalid, I redownloaded the rom again and checked to make sure no errors on the file with winrar and didnt find any error but still getting the same error when flashing with ODIN.

It has been confirmed that updating to OF1 includes the downgrade protection we've seen in the T-Mobile builds on 5.1.1... You won't be able to root directly on this build, either, since the exploit was patched by this ROMs build date. I will make a package that will allow users on OE2 to to update to OF1 while maintaining root. If you are on OC3 still you can upgrade to OE2 using my tutorial in Android Development.
Can someone who updated to OF1 successfully please try downgrading back to OC3 using the ODIN image provided within this General Thread? Since no one else has released a OF1 ROM/ODIN package I was going to do it myself, but along the way I noticed a change within this update package-- it now includes a magic string header at the very end of the update process, just like the Lollipop 5.1.1 ROMS for other devices that now incorporate protections against downgrading. I'd rather not bone myself/everyone else out of future development if this mechanism is in fact in place.
Thanks in advance! As soon as I have a confirmation it is still downgradable, I will finish this package.
Odin will not downgrade after OF1. I've tried 5 times using 2 different PCs and Odin failed every time.

Had a few "?'s" on that statement. Purely assumption on my part, so take my previous statement and my next few statements with a grain of salt. Ping Pong root has been patched and unless they find another method there is no root on 5.1.1. Locked Bootloader, with no way around that, so no custom kernel to root (a la this method). Right now in order to upgrade to OE2, you have to use a patched version that keeps root, what happens when it can no longer be "patched" to keep root in further builds? If you've upgraded already to the latest build via OTA, you can no longer downgrade. Trust me, I want to continue to have root for what ever the latest build is out there but Verizon/Samsung have been locking things down tighter and tighter and there is always the possibility that an exploit isn't found and end up with no root on later builds than what we have now. Again, all of this is just my assumption and I hope to end up wrong in the end about everything, 5.1.1 isn't even out yet for us so we'll see when it drops.
I know this is probably not the right place to post this but i would be willing to donate a 100 dollars to someone that gives me root on verizon s6 OF1. I messed up and upgraded. So I sure hope someone can get root. I have tried everything.
Thanks

Dude thanks for posting these! When the 5.1.1 update was first rolled out I noobed it up and tried to get my device ready by flashing back to stock. It was rooted and on OF4 via the FlashFire method to keep root but when I flashed to the original stock it ended up wiping my baseband and as a result I lost data for two days. I just flashed these and now all is well again. Thanks again!

Oh gosh! Please do so...I'm a Canadian using a G900A and it is so frustrating how I cannot get the OTA's here. I hope CPA1 improves performance because OF5 is a sometimes frustrating.
Am curious am in Canada if I use vpn to mimic being in USA and I put in a AT&T sim card (not currently active account) can I fool it I to ota update? I tried this and it checked for update and said none available at this time. check again in 24 hours. Not sure if this is Cuz update is being staggered or if this is the default message when you are not on their network?
Also. If someone does provide the update after downloading it what is the process of installing it in stock recovery?

( might not have been necessary to factory reset though)..

one way to block the update is to fill up the SD partition. The update is not coming to my phone fortunately with a message to uninstall unused apps or delete photos and videos to free up 713.18 MB to enable the update process

I think you might be able to use the ODIN images in that thread but you should ask. If you are on a full OTA OI5, then chances of finding PA1 OTA from someone else is pretty low since OI5 was never rooted, hence there isn't a way to get the PA1 OTA from a OI5 device.
If you are on OI5 with keep root as in the other thread then the first post has the steps; you will need to go through an intermediate step of downgrading from OI5 to NCE and root the device on NCE and then upgrade to PA1 with that image. Note that if you took the OI5 OTA previously, downgrading to NCE will brick your device (DON'T DO IT).

i originally soft bricked with pa2 update and i did not have any recovery what so ever for it. Downloaded this file loaded odin and it made it work again. i flashed all files.

No, i think not, why? not sure but they say it will brick.
I've been wondering about this myself...
Come to think of it, let's say they did burn a qfuse in this update (which they probably did), then in order to get yourself back in working order you'd need to be able to use odin to flash a working 6.0.1 stock rom, I'd think.
The problem is that, as far as I'm aware, only the update is available not the rom itself...
That'd be a big problem for anyone trying to experiment...
Did anyone here have the problem trying to flash back to 4.4.2 after the lollipop update? This should be the same as far as treatment goes.
Is there a way to tell if the qfuse has been burned? I got a G900A before I realized that the ATT version was locked 6 ways to sunday, and have been sitting on PH3 since I got it.. However I dont know if the previous update to PH3 was applied OTA or not, considering I got the phone already factory unlocked.
Is there an easy way to tell if the current version of my rom was applied via OTA or USB?
