I just got a notification from AT&T for a new update. Anyone know anything about it?

I got the notification too. Waiting to install it though.

@deepen915, are you going to try rooting this?

Android central has an article on it here:
AT&T Galaxy S5 receiving 142MB update with security fixes, interface improvements http://www.androidcentral.com/att-g...-update-security-fixes-interface-improvements
Mostly just looks like bug fixes. I bet it breaks root though.

Can someone grab the ota and post it? It can be modified to update w/out breaking root.

Why so quick to update? Is the system that unstable on the s5?
Risk your root for a little security fix and stability. I think not. Why not just ask a dev if they can get you current rom stable with a update made by someone not trying to screw you around...... ATT.......

A guy in the comments, on the Android Central post about this update, said that he took the OTA and it did not break root.
I'm still kind of scared to do it though.

That's what everyone should do.

I tried to update...and it failed after rebooting. Not sure if it is because of root. I have nothing else customized... I think.

I am aware that G900F NF/NG firmware enables VoLTE in S5. Not sure if the NG firmware for G900A does that also.

Got this from att.

The update is just about guaranteed to break root.

I think it will too. It's just that this guy claims that he updated while being rooted and still has root after the update. Maybe he's trying to pull a fast one on us.
I'm running Dynamic Kat anyway, so there is no way I'm taking a chance at not being able to flash safe strap again.

Can I have someone dump the modem? Thanks.

Just tried to update and got a "update interrupted" after it installed and rebooted. Using towelroot with xposed and a few modules

Same issue for me and no root

My wife's S5 successfully took the update but the kernel version is Jul 22nd, so this will most likely break root or at the very least break towelroot...

Hey, I re downloaded it and uploaded it to my Google Drive...

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).
Found release notes! http://www.verizonwireless.com/dam/support/pdf/system_update/benefits-galaxy-s6-edge-6-2-15.pdf

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

Update Interrupted

I received a software update last night (I believe the 5.1.1 update) and everything downloaded fine. During installation, though, I get update interrupted everytime. I'm rooted with pingpongroot if that matters.
Any suggestions or fixes?

As Sam said, you're going to have to either do a full wipe and Odin back to stock or wait and update through flashing fire. Also root may not work after the update so you may want to hold off if you want to keep it, unless you're cool with being a guinnie pig [emoji4]

Good luck with root also if this is 5.1.1 update you know they probably patched the exploit.

Pull the downloaded file and upload a link so everyone has it please.

How is this being pushed out by AT&T? No release news or info from them yet from what I've been able to determine. Would be great if you could grab the files and share so DEV's could pull it apart for us.

What software version are you on now? I doubt that it's 5.1.1.

I believe the OTA files are stored on /Cache section in the phone. You will need root access and something like File Explorer to access /Cache partition. You should be able to copy and move it to SD card so you can plug in a USB and download to a computer, then to dropbox or fileshare.
I dont know if it told you the file name, but you are looking for the 235.96MB file in that folder.

If you're not having issues with what your on I personally wouldn't bother. It still has all the same issues.

Well, I set the date to December and I got this:
I also got it to trigger the arrows in upper left, with a toast message saying connecting to 'DM Server"

What should my version/build number be?

I have a 2014 moto x pure (not rooted) running 5.1. The version number is 23.1.28 and build LPE23.28. I saw a thread elsewhere with a posted stagefright patch, but the version number in the prereq's does not match mine. I didn't get lollipop OTA, I just downloaded it from another thread sometime around when the soaktest went out (sometime in the spring?).
Anyways, I'm wondering why my version number does not match, and also wondering if, by downloading the last update and installing it myself, I have lost the ability to recieve OTA's Thanks anyone who might have advice.

This is my Xt1095 with the latest ota

I think I figured out what to do. After snooping around a bit, I think I have to unlock my bootloader, downgrade to 5.0, and reup to the latest build of 5.1. Does that sound about right?

Ah now I understand, you had a typo when you first posted your version number. Now that is not what you need to do. My suggestion is to unlock your bootloader, but DO NOT downgrade. Just download the 5.1 image from here: http://www.filefactory.com/file/17go3dvt60b/VICTARA_TMO_XT1095_5.1_LPE23.32-21.3_cid9_CFC.xml.zip then flash it to upgrade your system to the correct version.
Downgrading then taking OTAs can cause bricks, so I do not recommend that you downgrade.

From your experience, can I flash the newer lollipop version w/o unlocking bootloader?
Sent from my XT1095 using XDA Free mobile app

I know you can flash the same version... and that downgrade does not work.
But I have no clue if upgrade works while the bootloader is locked. It won't hurt to try, if it does not let you there is no damage done. Let me know if it lets you with a locked bootloader for future reference.

So JUST TO MAKE SURE, I can upgrade from lollipop version 23.1.28 to version 23.32-21.3 without downgrading? Just want to be 100% because I'm not very experienced at this. I will try it with the locked BL first and let you know how it goes, of course.

Those posts are old, read the dates. Those posts were made BEFORE the full firmware file was available. The directions have changed since those posts. The way I am instructing now is the safest and less likely to brick your phone.

I meant this minor update, I already updated manually to marshmallow

Maybe the manual update changed ur system partition so u now don't get OTA updates. Maybe flash back to stock 5.1.1 an n you'll get both the OTA 6.0 and small update mentioned above. I think Hovatek has a thread on this.
