Do I need to worry about a update out of the box? And if so what do I need to do to stop said update?

The root method on Snapdragon models has just been patched. Read OP in the link above. You can disable updates via package disabled app but that means you could never update. Also battery wouldn't show charge past 80%. Read the thread please.

No lollipop update yet!

I'm still on 4.4.2. Whenever I check for updates, it says device is up to date. I'm not rooted or anything, software and stuff are totally official. Any suggestions on what I can do to get the lollipop update? Thank you.

Hey mrmazak,
Thanks for your development and the support of this community with Dirtycow.
To clarify, are you seeing any exploits that could be leveraged in order to root and it will take more time for development, or is it just out of the question?
Thanks,

Blu has changed preloader since v6.6. no access to preloader from sptf, so no flashing, no root
Thanks mrmazak,
Anytime sooner will there be root ?
No, there will not be root. The security holes have been plugged. The tools used to modify the phones have been blocked.
If you installed a recent over-the-air update, you are out of luck - no recovery, no flashing, no rooting. Period. End of story. Done.
Never accept an over-the-air update for a phone that you want to root or modify.

Wow **** blu.
Guess I'll just return it, you know, cause **** sales too!
Sorry, I am new to rooting with many of my phones and I am getting very frustrated at how many developers patch the root. I used to think Android was friendlier for root than iOS is for jailbreaking, don't think so anymore.
Is there a root friendly list of phones new you have on this forum up-to-date?
Sort of hard to buy a phone requesting from the seller to have the "right version" on it. Ex.) blu phone prior to v6.6.
Thanks.

it is possible to root V8.4 if you're already using a custom recovery with dirty cows v11

If you have custom recovery , then yes. The dirty cow part is only needed to allow bootloader unlock. So once it's unlocked and you have recovery , should be no problem to root
Trash talk lol, nothing is impossible just that you can't do it simple!.

Verizon OEM unlock?

Figured I'd name a post to see if anyone has it. I do NOT have it on my Verizon branded phone from Best Buy. Anyone else care to chime in? Thanks.

If they get root on the SD, will it be possible to flash TWRP and a custom ROM, or is that still out of reach?

Not really...search the threads for root...the discussion for root is not really updates but a request for support...
The mods are in the process of making carrier specific threads...
anthonykash said:

The carrier is irrelevant. The only thing that makes any difference from a root point of view is the SoC. Exynos=root. Snapdragon=weeping.
There is a thread where they're working on Snapdragon root. Use the search function and see if you can find it.

There is root on the S8+ but no unlocked bootloader. Its a convoluted root process.

You can update and keep the root as well.
I just did it following the guide in another thread.
Everything went smoothly and the process is quite quick if you have, as I suppose, Magisk installed.
Cheers

9.0.6 OTA available in USA . I received it a few hrs ago.
Got mine last week with a VPN through Canada.
Wonder if this method works with the latest 9.0.7.
Update: apparently VPN is not working according to main page post.
Update 2: according to other thread, free VPN app, connected to Germany and received the update,. Nice

Need help to downgrade my note 8 to a previous update (N950USQU7DTA3)

So, couple months ago AT&T released an update (in January 2020) which I saw a significantly improved battery life by 25% I was planing to disable my updates for future updates because I really liked it! However, 2 weeks later one day i wake up and my phone forced a new update and the battery life got back to the same even worse that what it used to be before that first update! Now, I am looking to downgrade my update to (N950USQU7DTA3) to be specific. I cant seem to find the file. Is there a source to find it? Also, Its been years since I've done this. Is there a way you guys recommend doing it without causing any issues?
Thanks!
At&t does not post firmware. Just flash any US firmware it's all the same. It will provision to your At&t sim

@kamycrs
Please don't post questions in the development section. I have asked a moderator to move it to the correct Q&A section, please bare this in mind for any future posts.
Do you know how I can find and flash that specific one? N950USQU7DTA3? or to find which would be the most identical?
The search function is an amazing thing...But I will do it for ya...Sammobile or Frija[emoji16][emoji106]

Well when Elliwigy and Jrkruse give information you can bet its spot on. And MrMike has been around for quite awhile. Just try to take the advice given and understand none of these guys will lead you down the wrong path. Good luck and hopefully you will find something that works out for you[emoji106]
