How to identify the stock rom to un-root and enable OTA - Samsung Galaxy Note FE Questions & Answers

Hello everybody. I bought Samsung FE and it's with android 7.0 and it's roote. I would like to get it working with oreo. I cannot find any rom with oreo for rooted devices. Also im not sure about version of this Samsung. Model is SM-N935F but modem version is N935SKSU4BRL1 and version NRD90M.N935FXXU1AQI5_XDAVN_V6. I will be thankful for any help to upgrade to 8.0 or un-root with a correct stock ROM to enable OTA again.

I know this is late but just go to sammobile and download the oreo firmware and flash with Odin. This will factory reset your phone and get rid of root

Same answer but wanted to note that OTA won't be available for you since knox is tripped.
So you need to manually flash whatever version you want.

Not true. Knox is tripped on my device as well as my 20 ultra. Factory reset allows you to get ota if you choose to do it that way.

Sorry, i mistook tripping knox with the rom status, an official rom will have "official" status so ota should work, unlike "custom" status where ota doesn't work.

[Q] Will updating a rooted Note 3 in Kies brick my phone?

Hey guys
I have a Galaxy note 3 with Rogers here in Canada (SM-N900W8) and I know there has been 2 updates released (MJ1 and MJ4) but I havent been able to update over the air because my phone is rooted and flagged and my knox trigger is flagged as well.
Using Wanam xposed I have my status set to official and I can download the new update but the installation will fail.
Anyway so I connected my phone to KIES and it says I can update, however before I update it says if my phone is rooted its possible I can brick my phone.
So my questions are, 2 install these updates (MJ1 and MJ4), will it brick my phone? If it doesnt will I lose my root? Can I reroot on these latest firmwares and lastly is there reasons why maybe I should stay at my current firmware?
Sorry if this has been asked before. Ive tried searching and I didnt have much luck
Thanks

Short answer is NO.
I updated mine via KIES to MJ7 (I'm on the N9005) - while rooted. KIES says you "may" encounter problems but mine was fine and I re-rooted with ease (already tripped KNOX so no worry there for me) _- as for your firmware on the N900W8 - not sure if you can root with the latest firmware or not personally

[Q] How to update to 5.0.1

Hi,
Im from the netherlands and noticed that the update for 5.0.1 is available.
I have the Exynos (N910C) version android 4.4.4 rooted installed now.
I have changed dpi settings true xposed.
What is the best way to update to the new version 5.0.1 ?
Thanks,
Roy
I have used the auto root to root the stock rom.
N910C is Exynos, not Snapdragon, so choose your ROM carefully.
Best way to upgrade is to backup everything first, then install new ROM with Odin (download correct version from sammobile), then root using your method of choice (I personally recommend flashing TWRP recovery and choose root on exit).
After that, you can restore everything you need from the backups.

Your device was rooted and no way to upgrade 5.0.1 via OTA. The only way now is download latest Firmware (for your Area) on Sammobile.com or similar website then using Odin to upgrade. Remember: full wipe on recovery first then flashing FW via Odin on Downloadmod.
Thanks for the awnsers. i meant the Exynos, sorry for that.
I havent tryed to update it true normal update way becouse i thought this wasnt possible as my device is rooted.
So i might try if i can do this?
Roy
OTA will fail because you tripped Knox when you rooted.
Besides, lollipop brings a new bootloader, modem and csc, so even if you choose to flash a custom lollipop ROM, you still need to upgrade those using Odin.

My device was imported from hungary and i found this one on sammobile :

I have installed the 5.0.1 version true odin without doing a full wipe. I still have all my apps and files and it seems to work oke.
Did i have to do a full because of the battery draining stuff? or is it oke like this?
Roy
Should be fine as it is, but a full wipe once in a while never hurts...
If you notice something wrong, battery drain, lag or even applications force-close, then why not... perform a full wipe and restore your apps and settings gradually.
Make sure you backup everything, i failed my stock update to android 5..0.1 (OTA), and now i still didnt found anyway to get my data back, it remains dead there
Titanium Backup FTW

how to flash (standard) STOCK over (Vodafone) STOCK without root?

I am pretty familiar with rooting & flashing. I practically did it with all my previous devices. And although I would love to try a non-Stock ROM on my S7Edge (I love CM14.1 on my daughter's OPO) for the moment I will (have to) stick to stock ROM. But I would rather have the original Samsung ROM without the Vodafone-bloatware (and release delays).
so my question is: can I flash original Samsung Stock ROM without rooting and without loosing Knox etc...?
Yes. You can. Just download the newest firmware from sammobile or updato and flash it through ODIN. It won't change knox and doesn't require rooting.
And btw there is no cyanogenmod for s7 edge unfortunately because exynos has its source completely closed.

thanks, I immediately downloaded an unbranded (BTU) S7Edge 6.0.1 firmware. Now all I can hope for is that Samsung releases the Nougat update soon.
The ones thatvsay "unknown" are thebunbranded ones?

If you want, you can download the Nougat beta right now and flash it instead of the 6.0.1. This won't trigger the knox.
I did not make it on time for the Beta programm so I won't get the updates... Maybe I'll better wait for the official...

Downgrade from Oreo to Nougat? [SM-G950F]

So yesterday I updated from Nougat (not rooted) to Oreo. After I updated I had some issues with my SIM. Basically most of the time I get "Out of service/Not registered in the Network". The SIM is working fine in other Phones. Already tried a reformat (with Stock Recovery) did not help.
So can I just use Odin v3.12 and the S8 Nougat files and flash them?
Will it brick If I do it?
The Oreo Firmware (and my phone) has no carrier. (DBT, Germany)
Same goes for the Nougat Firmware.
Thanks
Phone Info:
- SM-G950F
- Exynos variant
- DBT (unbranded)

My friend has the FD version with G955FXXU1CRB7 - CSC ILO (ISRAEL), but I can't find G955FXXU1AQK7 for the FD version for CSC ILO.

You can't downgrade via odin. You can only flash the same firmware or higher.
