I just received a notification to install the new OF2 update on my G870A. I have postponed the update pending any info on this update.. Does anyone know if it will prevent a rollback?

It's a possibility...I'd hold off until @muniz_ri has a chance to look at it first.

The point is moot, it updated by itself while I was in the shower. I didn't want to turn it off for fear of updating on reboot. LOL, I've had that happen before too. I'll keep checking back for news. Thanks!

Hey -
Please help! I received my M8 last night rooted. As soon as I finished I keep getting the system update is ready message. Can anyone please let me know how to turn this off please? It is driving me crazy.
Thanks!
Kinda related. Just got my M8 got it rooted and s-off. I don't want to take the update and lose root correct? I just flash a rom and I'm good to go, correct? Or was there firmware on the update? TI A

No need to take an OTA if you are s-off...1 of the many advantages
Turning off automatic updates

Yes, can anyone answer the question? My s-off phone keeps wanting to take the OTA update and there seems to be no place to turn off automatically checking for OTA updates. How do I get it to quit trying to update?
Flash an updated rom
I read somewhere that there might be an OTA available when I first turn on my phone. I'm getting my phone tomorrow and was wondering if someone has taken the update and then rooted yet?
Wondering if the update will screw me on getting rooted.
Thank you in advance on any input you have.

I got phone on Monday, but still haven't got update
The update was for the international version. Tmobile hasn't released the update yet.
Not sure what this is yet. Non rooted, stock image.
5.1.1?? Will report back...
Not 5.1.1
No idea as they haven't posted changelog, but hopefully a fix for MicroCell issues everyone is experiencing.
Let us know if you see any changes.
Update downloaded.
Real upgrade from OE2 to OF3. Thats all it says.
@Globalrebel where are you looking for change logs?
Update just finished. Yeah Android version is still 5.0.2. Baseband G925AUCU2AOF3 now.
Getting it now.

You mean since 5.1.1 was supposed to hit the S6's "in June?"
This is getting ridiculous, we need an update from 5.0.2, the memory issues I'm dealing with even on XtreStoLite are almost unbearable
Exactly and as updates for 5.1 come out for other carriers we get updates for random att crap that are almost a month old
It's sad to say that the latest AT&T OTA patches the export for ping pong root, don't take the OTA, because you cannot downgrade the Odin fails

They know because it says on the Ping Pong Root thread not to update for anything past May 15th as the method for root has been patched
I'm curious if there are any other undocumented changes besides the 2 official changes listed earlier. It feels like a fairly big patch for a fix to an phone location and a kernel security fix.
Is there any hope, luck or signs of achieving root on this new firmware

Wow, what a crappy push out by AT&T.
In any case, what process do i need to freeze in TB to stop my phone from trying to download and/or annoying me with that pop-up when it does happen?

AT&T Software Update is the main one, but there are a few others - I don't have an AT&T ROM on mine right now to help out, but it's been posted a few times already (I think I even posted those once)
Just freeze att software update. Then it can't even run so no downloads. I got lucky I clicked on update after reading it in Android central but didn't want to install it. Postponed couple of times but somehow it automatically loaded the update process. I was like sh#t. When it booted up it said a problem updating. And then I blocked the updater. My root almost gone lol

Same thing happened to me being rooted. It just tried to install automatically. Woke up to my phone restarting but then I got the error "problem updating". I was pretty relieved on that error lol... :victory:

most likely the stagefright fix..
The S6 (non-Edge) is getting an update today as well. Likely the same OF4 security enhancement for Stagefright that the Active received some time ago.
I just finished installing it. Only change I can tell so far is the stagefright fix (the detector app now reports my phone as secure, whereas a couple of days ago it didn't)
I assume the process is unroot, apply update, reroot? Or does this patch PingPongRoot too?
I don't think you can regain root access after you update beyond OF3. PingPong only works on versions prior to OF3. I purchased my S6 Edge with OF3 already installed on it. Very bummed and optimistically wishing someone will find a way to root OF3 and beyond. I hope they are not making it more and more difficult to root with these new "mandatory" updates that the phone apparently updates without consent. It gives you the ability to "postpone" the update but at one point or another applies the update automatically.
Ugh well I mistakenly updated tonight thinking the latest version was e2.
I attempted ping-pong root beta 6 and it failed.
At a loss. Please update me if anyone finds a new root method.
definitely i guess i will just wait for it
could someone grab this OTA please and upload it. i need it to fix a phone.

Man, I'm still stuck on G925AUCU1A0C9. I have yet to receive ANY update since I got it on launch day.

do a odin update to OF3. afterwards you are supposed to get OF4.
Would someone grab the OTA update (before applying). dkcheung on the regular S6 forum wants a FlashFire modified version to keep PingPong root. Already have the OF3 Odin files necessary, just need the OTA to be able to patch the modem.bin and boot.img as well as fix up the OTA for FlashFire.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62390878&postcount=8
The file will be located in /cache/fota/XXXX.cfg (in reality, it's a zip file)
I can't access that directory without root

I am assuming he can root OF3 OTA when he gets the update, in which case we can then pull OF4 OTA and root that update as well. Unfortunately, my phone isn't pulling the OF3 update to post so if anyone could send him the file that would be awesome.
@wesgarner thank you for the help, I will send you the file if my phone pulls down the update (phone says up to date as of now) as soon as I can get it.
Hoping this is what you need. This is the OTA update I got while being on OE2.

I am rooted and unlocked, but today I received a "System Update Downloaded" notification, and it only gives me an option to install it now or later.
If I install it, will it break root? Do I even want to install it? If not, how do I get rid of it?
It's the February 2016 Security Update. (These come out every month.) I usually wait a little bit and someone will release a recovery-flashable ZIP that will bring you up to date safely.

you can not install it being rooted and with twrp recovery, no matter how hard you try. you can flash part of the factory image, then reroot if youd like though.
Thanks! Any way to get rid of the annoying notification?
