New Update N910VVRU2BPA1

I've been chatting with Samsung Support through Twitter about Kies not taking my serial # for my Note 4. They asked for my serial # and my imei #, so I gave it to them and they asked what version i was on and told them BOK3, they wrote back saying there is a newer version, so I asked which one is it. So here is a screenshot.
OTA Update provided by @hsbadr thanks to @doinsvelt
Official Firmware & OTA Update from N910VVRU2BOG5 to N910VVRU2BPA1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...mware-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2942937
Safe Upgrade N910VVRU2BPA1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=65278655
Update: if your battery takes a dump with the OTA, it is recommend that you do a repair via the Verizon assistant or via Kies. But if you are on a safe upgrade version then this will take you out of safe upgrade and keep you on BOG5 incremented bootloader.

Maybe a new Samsung version, but maybe not a Verizon version?

Here are the screenshots.
They responded back that it is 5.1.1 with security patches

So Samsung says there is another version they have out. But has Verizon released it yet? The manufacturer releases versions to the carriers who then release it to the phone owners after they do their "branding". Case in point, Samsung released 6.0.1 for the Note 4, but we don't have it yet. So

I just got this update. Here it is.

It's up and running now. The wifi notification is gone which is great.

Got it here as well. Glad the wifi notification is gone.... now to see if it still references AT&T in the Wifi Settings. LOL

My bad, I got it too.

Hopefully it fixes my battery life problem, after the 5.1.1 update my battery life is TERRIBLE. It is the worse it has ever been and that's with trying to different factory OEM batteries.......The Note 4 really was a disappointment for a phone with such awesome hardware...

If anybody able to pull OTA and link it, I would put in the OP, I have it downloaded, but not installed. If anybody can guide me to pull it, I would appreciate it

Interesting

My Battery life got better after the first 5.1.1 update. Weird.

Yes, so glad the wifi notification is gone!

Please if someone could capture... it will be awesome, sammobile still not post 5.1.1, so it would be almost a year until they put BPA1 available, the only way i installed 5.1.1 was from a zip file someone upload it

Hi,i was wondering how you go about installing 5.1.1 zip. Well my question is ,are you using a retailer edition and what recovery you went into flash?,is it stock recovery if you're using RE?,am just little confuse about it.Thank you in advance.

Its quite simple indeed just download the zip file from the forum 5.1.1 then save it in ur sd card, press up volume, power and home button at the same time to access stock recovery, navigate to option where is says update from a file, there you go it will update to 5.1.1, batter been slightly different (not a big improvement) im indeed a very very heavy user.... i received emails all day from my job, need to check whatsapp several times, there is some annoyances however... like wifi notification that is connected never go away... the wireless and fast charging notification remain in 5.0.1 now in 5.1.1 just says it once time and disappear, album cover full screen its completly gone.... performance in task screen and some apps display faster and also navigate throught touchwiz its a little bit better... not a BIG BIG difference... they put connect to at&t network (even thou its verizon), everything its fixed in BPA1 update so if you want to give a shot go ahead... i mean its not a big big diference but if you are bored of being in 4.4.4 or 5.0.1 go ahead! good luck

This may need to go devs but notice every time you boot into recovery on this update it says "installing update". Not sure exactly what that means cause I am no dev but it seems like the the recovery is more locked down on this update.
I also did factory reset after update. So not sure why it would do that every time booting into recovery.

for last week battery been dropping fairly quickly to about 40%, then stopping abruptly. Got the update last night. After almost 12 hours on battery, it is still at 88%.

My battery wasn't doing very well until I disabled fast charging and charged regularly. But have always noticed that even on kitkat

[update] G930TUVU3APG1 firmware available

It seems a new update is about to roll out. The build is BG1.
Maybe just a security patch containing update, but the thing is, the odin TAR is available already.

Have fun!

Was available for the s7, but not the edge for me.

When I click download I just get a blank folder with them name of the firmware. How can I get the actual firmware or am I doing something wrong?

I rooted using a custom script someone made in the att thread. It fixed the cpu frequencie issues and adjusted each governor of the small and big clusters. So far so good with only minot hiccups once in a while. I haven't noticed much of a difference with the pg1 firmware if any. If you need help rooting check out the att forum or i can help when i get back home.

if we are already rooted on PD8, can we just flash this ontop of PD8 and retain root? What about user data?

I got this update on 2 S7's and on both of them, I now have cellular data issues. Wifi calling will keep giving me a notice that my phone is going to use wifi for calls when the feature is set to prefer Cellular for calls. Rebooting doesn't help, it will eventually say it again. I have to keep turning off wifi to force the message away. And during browsing on cellular, it drops a lot even though I know I have great coverage where I use it. With 2 phones, and only have this update, I think something is wrong with this firmware.

I haven't had any issues, everything works fine. Here go down till you find generic galaxy s7 after root process and flash the zip he made via Flashfire. See if that helps. Did you factory reset after rooting btw?

I am not rooted. I just saw this Firmware thread and figured this was a good place to talk about my issue related to this firmware. I will update my previous post to show no rooting. All stock.

Oh, sorry, then I'm not sure what could be the issue, you could try clearing cache in recovery.

A factory reset should fix it, this happened to me as well.

DO NOT UPDATE FROM APGC TO API4... (If you want root...)

Tested right before replacing my N7 (v1)...
After upgrading to latest API4 "Green Battery" Update...
Confirmed:
- Unable to Odin Sprint "Root" Firmware...
- Unable to downgrade to APGC...
Result...
No root & stuck with API4... (Not bricked)
so... in other words... IF you want root... stay with APGC and simply wait for an API4 ROM... (with APGC bootloader)
Get the new phone... and DO NOT update...

To make it easier to identify version 2 phones.

The API4 update is available to V1 phones. I took it, knowing I'd be getting a new phone in a couple of days.
As I understand it, they'll make you take it one way or the other.

i can confirm do not update your v2 note 7 to the new firmware. you cannot downgrade and they have blocked the sprint userdebug firmware from even flashing.
if you want to keep root. don't do it.

wht are the chances that the update comes straight from the box..

It does bro....i got mines today and it automatically started down loading...i just asked this question to @jovy23 in another thread

Yep, mine installed right out of the box. what a bunch of a-holes. wifes did the same thing, no root now welp, perhaps its time to return it and buy a different phone. this is retarded.

Saw someone mention it, and will try the same, but boot without sim card and wifif then disable the update app.....root then add sim.
Hopefully that will work cause I need my root. Dammit Samsung how dare you "burn" us again !!!

as long as the phones don't come preinstalled then it's fine.

Well... I just updated to API4 intentionally, to try out the new update on my v1 device. I gotta say it's much more snappier now and lag is completely gone after it fully boots everything. But it's still not worth losing root over. So I'm either gonna get a refund or buy the international version, better yet might just say goodbye to sammy all together.

I don't know why anyone is still surprised about non-Nexus devices being locked down. Sure, a device might get root access, but it's the OEMs job to fix it in future builds because it's an exploit that needs to be fixed.

My update downloaded but I disabled, anyone know where the update file is? What folder? I can't find it.

the update ran as soon as it connected to their wifi network to set up the phone. crap, can't root now.

Same here, it downloads on its own but it can be postponed up to 3 times before it automatically installs the update, so what do I have to disable so the update won't install, or where can i find the update and delete that sob? Any info would be much appreciated as I don't have access to a computer to root or have the time at this very moment.

You can go into settings and turn off auto updates, or download package disabler from the play store and disable the 2 software updates lines. I still have a v1 phone and no update here because of that

[Discussion] Official Android 7 on Tab S2

Samsung has started releasing official nougat to tab s2 and most of you have already flashed the images. Some have nougat on their for device for almost a week. I would really like to know their view points on this update. Like battery life, wifi/bluetooth connectivity, stability, features etc.
Share your likes and dislikes coming from marshmallow build, or anything you would like to share . :good:

I flashed Stock Nougat on my SM-T810.
I can be wrong - still testing - but I have the impression that wifi connection is not that stable as it was when I used Lollipop Stock (I've never used marshmallow).
I'm experiencing wifi drops from time to time.
edit:
actually, there is no problem with wifi. After some testing, I found out that it's the 'optimize battery usage' that was restricting some functionality of my syncing app. After I disabled it, it's all working very well now.

Guys please help. When I flash the nougat from odin on my device (t815) stuck in the last step. In odin says something for "radio" and then it says error. Can someone help me? I can install easy the Mm via odin but I cant in nougat
Im not root

same error

Use Odin v3.12 for nougat updates

Yeah same error with odin 3.12

I used newest. Few dayz ago updated friends t715 with same odi without problems. It is something about sequence of partitions, I think I have read something about it time ago. Remember as through fog, as we say here... I am sure someone has solition.

Friend, if yoi have time, download on sammobile also 6.01 for UAE and try. I not have time. I afraid you will be unable to flash even uae 601. If success, try ota or odin uae 7.0

The battery seems to drain a lot faster than on 6.0.1, I disabled location and debloated A LOT but it still seems to lose 5% per hour overnight with a lot of wakelocks and Android-System and Kernel seem to use a lot of battery.
Battety stats are a bit hidden in the settings so I use GSam Battery Monitor.
After some tests it looks like the WI-FI is waking the device.. When I'm not connected to WI-FI I lose almost no battery. Maybe it has something to do with the 5Ghz channel? Still trying to figure this out.
Playstore also seems to lag the device while updating apps, this I didnt experience on MM.
Automatic brightness changes too drastic, and sometimes it deels like the screen is not bright enough
I didnt test Bluetooth and location yet.
Other than that everything 's fine and I like the new nougat features.

Ok I will try anything today and If I find something I will reply

Thanks to @ksr007 I was able to flash T815 nougat fimware to my T815Y(system & kernel to be exact). And just so you know doing this specifically will trigger knox. Anyways so far the nougat look really neat. Battery backup so far seems to me same as that on marshmallow. Wifi 5g and bluetooth are working well. I would like to tell you while I was optimizing my settings and all I found that my settings app became laggy. I was surprised that this happened to me, since I had just kinda installed official firmware in a way, what I found out later that I had disabled "print spooler" app in setting and enabling it fixed it. I can still reproduce this issue any time . Maybe its a bug or its just me idk. But overall the os is smooth as mm for me. Setting app and many more which earlier didn't had split/pop-up mode supports them now, thanks to nougat. I'll see how this performs before I root/modify it.

Hey I find the solution
First on your pc extract any file from the nougat filmware with 7-zip
Then follow this guide to convert files from img to md5-tar
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446269
And just flash any file one by one via Odin..
Just don't install the hidden.img file. (Idk why this file needed) I hope someone from here tell us

Post please screeshot what exactly you flashed and get success
This is similar to my suggestion. But, you extract 1 bih file and divide it in 4 and flash all of them, except hidden. Img? This is probably same as my suggestion. Thanks anyway

In Odin flash any file expert hidden.img and if you want to keep twrp or cwm don't flash recovery.img too.

Ok step by step
Download the nougat from the link above
From Windows extract the files (extract nougat file) with 7zip program
Then follow this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....php?t=2446269 you need to convert files from img to md5-tar. It's really easy if you follow this guide.
Now via Odin flash on your tablet these files one by one like any time except hidden.img and you are done.

Sorry it is not quite working out right for you. When I first got phone I downloaded the GMS app (from hiApp I believe) One thing I did notice, that I did not mention, is that Playstore crashed the first time I opened it after this update but then I tried it again and it worked fine. I have never had to reinstall google apps with any updates. I'm still not rooted which is unusual for me. I've decided to more or less ride out this device and not root unless, Xposed for Nougat comes out. I will probably part with it once the Note 8 comes out.

I am done follow link for fast update firmware.
You should not fear done flash update package and rebrand , if you follow steps update should be done.
After update successfully, device might be locked again.
I am try to rebrand from C636 to C432 or C432 to AL00 and C567 ,it guide that work for me.

Mate 9 Pro just updated OTA to AL00C00B213 (741MB). Play store, Gmail, contacts & sync work fine afterwards. I only ran GMSinstaller once when I first got the phone. I expected to have to rerun and reinstall google stuff after each update but happily that hasn't been the case for me.
It's always applied Quick Update so maybe that's why?
I have not deleted HiCare & other Huawei apps & never registered a Huawei ID.
is it recommended registering HuaweiID?

are you rooted or using GMSapp for gapps? I got the OTA update lastnight (2.41 gb) and after installing it I had to reinstall all google apps which is an annoying thing to do for every major update

dont think is needed or recommended but there is some options there that may be useful for end users, in my case I had always to reinstall and rerun GMS app probably because I always do the full install 1.5+ gb

battery consumption
Anybody noticing a greater power consumption from this latest update I no longer get the 2 day of moderate use out of a fully charged phone need to do it 24 hours now? hope they develop a fix quickly even sticking it in ultra battery mode seems to drain quicker than it did before.
Also when I check to see battery consumption, WLAN always seems to be on even when I'm not using it as their is always a blue line underneath?
