I notice on my phone that there is a software update coming thru. Wanted to know if this update will effect my chances of rooting in the future? Is this a good update? Should I update?
There is root now for PE1
The new update is PF2.

The PF2 update shows security patch level is July 1 on my phone.
yes, you are correct. I thought I took the update but the update failed. Don't know why.
Same thing happened to me this morning. Been trying to install it, but all I get is a 402 error message.
If anyone can let us know if root is still available after the update, that would be awesome!
Was able to root SGS7 on PF2 using guide on XDA Vz S7 Forum...
"Same thing happened to me this morning. Been trying to install it, but all I get is a 402 error message."
Try to install Smart Switch and update using it. I updated successfully by doing that.
Root works fine on PF2, I took the update and then rooted with no issues. Just use the general debloat script not the VZW specific one. However I had to use the samsung/verizon software to install the update, the OTA kept failing at 32%

Is there a limit to the number of times Sprint will push an OTA update to a specific phone?
I'm not receiving the MDL update anymore, and manually checking says I'm up-to-date, but I'm not being at MDC. I received it the first time and installed it, but as we all know, it broke root access and closed the motochopper exploit. So I reflashed the stock ROM and wiped everything, got the update again but ignored it. Well, I reset my phone again, and now that I actually want to install the update, Sprint doesn't seem to want to push it to my phone anymore.
Edit #1: Saw this thread: New Update is here! Here is how to force pull an OTA update. But I am still curious why Sprint isn't sending it to me automatically if anyone knows.
Edit #2: Woke up this morning and the update had been downloaded. *shrug*
Hey guys,
I have a tmobile note 4 with COD6 and was wondering I'd it would be safe to update to COG2 and keep my root without any issues? I'm going to have to update via kies, which I have never done before due to the OTA option stating that since I made unauthorized changes to my device I will have to do a manual update. Have any of you already done this and had/experienced any improvement's or issues?
I happened to see a security policy update yesterday on my notifications. The update obviously won't go on a rooted phone the normal way so I'm looking for help on getting this update installed w/o losing root, or is it possible?? I've heard of Chainfire's app, "FlashFire" but when reading how to use it I have to have the download and when I tried to get the security policy update download I kept getting a prompt that said it had failed. Even when I tried unchecking the Automatic updates and going to Manual it failed. So what am I to do about this? Is it all about "Un Rooting" to official and installing the OTA ? or is there another way?? I am Canadian running 6.0.1 MM, G900W8VLU1DPD3, MMB29M. I hope someone can help. My provider is Telus. It wouldn't hurt to link me to a proper tutorial for un-rooting if that has to be. I'm using TWRP recovery. Thanks!!!
I just started to receive messages yesterday that AT&T is pushing an update to my phone. I don't want to install it because I don't know how it will affect my root status. I'm still on stock ROM, but rooted and de-bloated. Anyone know if this is safe to install? Has anyone with root accepted it?
Silently got this update pushed to mu phone because I forgot to freeze software updater in Tibu. Luckily the update failed. I do not know if it was because I had done the v15 fixes mod/pack, or because of root, but I got lucky.
I would not update period, until somethind is released to keep, or reroot. If I am not mistaken, updates have a kernel in them, so it would over write the engineer kernel.
My bet is ATT did something to block flashing the kernel back.
Good call, I'd better not update. I connected WiFi and it just downloaded the whole package and kept on my bar asking me to update. I just froze the AT&T Software Update too, all better.
It's the pg1 update and the engboot kernel still works for root.

I rooted my device with Android 10 and I'm unable to update the software. It keeps saying unable to update. visit samsung centre.How do i fix this?
afaik once you rooted your device, you can't use ota to update your phone. you have to do it manually.

Any idea on how to manually update cause i never found any tutorial on youtube
For example using Odin.
you need the correct firmware for the phone.

I tried it yesterday, but it did ended up in bootloop. Don't know if i did something wrong or if it is just not working.
Was it possible for you to download the OTA update? For me it worked. But i'm a bit scared to install it and end up again in bootloop :/
