In a leaked report from Samsung India showing various mobile due for KitKit goodness. The Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 is listed in the report that it should get the Android 4.4.2 update this month (July). The leak also shows that the Galaxy S III international LTE version is not going to get the Android 4.4.2 update which is very disappointing.
This update will bring tunnel audio, a translucent style interface and immersion mode to the Samsung Galaxy Grand 2. The fact that these updates are still rolling out on 8 month old phones is great news for owners. It also shows that Samsung hasn’t given up on these mid ranged phones and not pushing them aside when it comes to updates.
This update schedule might differ somewhat due to the different carriers own update schedule.
Below is a list of the new features this update is bringing to the Galaxy Grand 2.
White Status Bar Icons
Camera Shortcut on Lock-Screen
Wireless Printing
Album Art on Lock-Screen during Music Playback
NFC tap-to-pay support
Options to set default messaging and launcher apps
Transparent status bar
Better stability
Improved Ram usage
Smoother Interface Overall
Samsung Wallet
Emoji for Keyboard

New leaked screenshots show that Samsung’s testing the Android 4.4.3 KitKat update for its Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S5 models. At the same time, Samsung’s continuing to push out the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update to its other devices. The GS4 Mini LTE and Note 3 Neo devices are still behind in the testing stage, but Android 4.4.2 KitKat updates for the Galaxy Grand 2, Galaxy Mega 5.8 and Galaxy Mega 6.3 are in their final stages – which means users of all three devices could see the most recent update to Android KitKat sometime soon.
So We might have the kitkat update soon ! But I'm not sure about the 4.4.3 update ! Derz also a chance that Grand 2 might get the Interface of S5 through this Update !
A Update list was released in April but now most of the tests seem to be completed !
It is Reported that Grand 2 and other devices are going through the final testing !
More things to be updated soon !

We all know it for last 3 months, anything new!!! RIP Samsung in hell.... Now I will never recommend anyone to buy Samsung devices. Neither they release device tree for developers to build custom rom nor official kitkat.
Dude when the update list was released 4.4.2 was under test ! Now it's going through its final tests ..... We will have an update by end of this month !

"According to a leaked document purportedly originating at Samsung India,"
Gsmarena got a tip from some random person who sent them that image saying it was legit and from samsung india. its a "leak" so they have no way to prove it, hardly "officially published".
In fact, had you bothered to actually read the article...
That said, you should keep two things in mind: first, that this could just be an image created by someone with Photoshop skills and too much time on her or his hands.

Yet Lolipop has now begun to roll our for the Galaxy S5.

I'm the Co-Founder of SamMobile and I think you need to take a chill pill. This device isn't forgotten. There is a time frame for updates. First S5 than N4 than last years flagships than Alpha and the rest. So relax it will come when its finished ...
What happens when you buy a non-flagship from a manufacturer whos satured the market by flooding devices.
Your going to be in for a LONG wait my friend.
Alpha works very well now...lolipop will be a bounus...who cares if it is in december or january?
Very funny if S4 gets Lolipop before Alpha
Lolipop was flawed, 5.01 is out already. Let everyone else test it, when it is right is the time to get it.
Hey guys,
howelljones is not angry, he is dissapointed.
And I agree with him, even if this is not that important, why do last year flaships got to be updated first .....
Really boring that it is so deadly silent about Lollipop for Alpha.

It's another view but I also think LG trying to fix old mistakes with Software Update part, It would be good if we could get Android M also
Generally firstly korean versions get update than int. versions get the updates. It looks like fake but I hope we get the update.
Btw if this update really exist the version number shouldn't be v40 should be v3X(except v30, exmple v35a for 5.1.1 update. if we get android m update it should be v40X)
It's normal that the baseband is the same as 5.0.2?
Mmm i don't think that LG would update an old phone like G2

In screenshots.it looks like they would gonna update our G2 to 5.1.1 with Full LG g4 UI as well as our 5.0.2 with g3 UI.i am sure LG would gonna provide us both LP and android M updates besides our chipset is enough powerful to handle android M easily.

What makes you say that? First of all the update to 5.1.1 isnt a drastic overhaul and is needed to fix bugs that are currently present in 5.0. An android M update would require more work than the 5.1.1 update.
The only reasons we probably won't get android m are:
1. Too much work to update to M because of drastic changes
2. They could have decided to just leave the LG g2 with lollipop, which is fair given the 2 year period since release. Most phones don't get updates after a 2 year period. Except for nexus.
They should rather skip Android Lollipop 5.1.x and go straight to Android M IMHO.
Doing a 5.1.x release for the LG G2 is a waste of time when Android M is already around the corner.
At the time they will release a 5.1.x update, it is probably going to be outdated already because Android M will already be available...
So, LG, if you are reading this, please update the LG G2 directly to Android M instead. That woud be much better.
Regards

I dont think that the canadian variant is only the fault of LG. The telecom providers don't even know when their own devices are getting updated and cant provide valid information so we should blame both or none.
Btw if this is true then it will be the v40 update. I didn't knew any other LG device yet which got updated higher then v30(2 android version upgrades) ofcourse excluding nexus series.

Hope is there, but whats missing are active devs using the Verizon Note 3. Our problem is that we are a very tiny minority of the Note 3 users, and most devs have already migrated to newer devices.

As for developers, yes, the Note 3 is ancient history. For the daily user, there are still many out there. I'd love to have root, but I don't have much experience on that end. I'd made a few custom roms several years ago, but completely not the same. I've made some inquires, and nobody seems willing to invest in a subset (non-rooted 4.4.4 or 5.0) of a subset (Verizon) of an older device (Note 3). It's sad to say, but we've been left behind.
This is an exploit that affects a wide range of devices.
If someone exploits it on a newer device...that exploit would also work for the Note 3. If not, it would be very close to working.
I am hopeful
---------- Post added at 05:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 AM ----------
Reading up on this, we are not affected...
The vulnerability affects any Linux Kernel version 3.8 and higher.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So if we can install a newer kernel (not happening), we can root with this method. The Note 3 will never be upgraded past kernel 3.4.0, under Lollipop 5.0.
If it is, this exploit will almost assuredly be patched...the only hope is if we can somehow upgrade the kernel to a vulnerable version without a legitimate OEM update.

Because of the locked bootloader, the kernel can not be upgraded via a signed Verizon update.
In other words....Verizon won't update the kernel and you can't.

I'm still over a year out on my contract, and frankly, I love the Note 3. Well, I love the s pen aspect. I could go on Ebay and find a Note 4, but that's about it. The Note 5 fails at what I'd want. More manufactures should have something like the s pen. It sucks only on line of one manufacture uses the higher quality pen input.
If this phone had a unlocked boot loader i would have never upgraded to another phone. Note 3 is still a very fast phone.
Hoping for Root on note 3 (verizon)
So, I still have my Verizon note 3 and use it often. Great phone, still fast and reliable.
A friend just gave me a Tmobile Note 3 asking if I could root it. I decided to start with his and then try mine afterwards.
I succeeded rooting the Tmobile Note 3 a few days ago. Decided, why stop there and gave it a shot on my Verizon Note 3.
Quickly learned the same process would not work.
Just recently came upon this thread after quite a bit of searching the interwebs.
I guess this is what I was looking for and feared finding at the same time.
Here's my takeaway from the research I've done:
-Cant get safestrap installed without root...
-Towelroot stopped working in 2014 and none of the oneclick methods work anymore.
-Can't get any custom recoveries installed either with the bootloader locked.
The summary being...the Verizon Note 3 (5.0) is not rootable?:crying:

Because the A3 doesn't have any good CM13 ROMs, and this would make it easier to get a fully working one. We have mygalaxya's ROM, sure, but it has a lot of bugs and doesn't even boot in certain variants of the phone.

I tried AICP11 few month ago. AICP is one of the best ROM in my opinion, but for me the lack of HDR camera and GPS sporadic functioning was enough to drop this ROM.
I saw others ROMs has some bugs like screen freezing or touch unresponsive and this is another reason not to update (YET) to custom ROM.
I came on Samsung after many years of HTC and on HTC custom ROMs I had never found bugs like that I mentioned. I mean all ROMs in that area were perfectly running android versions and the challenge was who are more customizable or better looking or faster...
So it's not a matter of knox or guaranty. A stock ROM is a fully working ROM and a custom ROM must meet at least this requirement and after that we can speak about how much is customizable or energy saving and so on...

No problem I'll keep an eye on this stuff and let you know if I notice any sign of update if anyone will, share here with that info please. Btw I'm former Galaxy S3 Neo user and I'm really suprised knowing the pain of Samsung updates. But, lets wait what we'll receive I'm wonder which version of TouchWiz will we have, it's really a difference between galaxy J5 TW (5.1.1) and my A3 (2015, 5.02), dont you think?

NOTE:
Just a suggestion people:
ZTE Germany Forums have announced that English is now allowed on their forums but the support is primarly aimed at Germans but they understand it is the only European board.
You can voice all your complaints there and they will see it first hand!

Is this ROM compatible with the rest of the 2017G phones or is intended only for Germany?, because for example, in Spain they have a B09 which other countries don't have.

Thanks for answer, too bad we couldn't get Nougat on January, but let's hope the developers can wipe out the most bugs they can.
Every OEM has been having troubles with the Nougat update, even Google with the Nexus phones, and some of them have even rolled back globally the whole update after some days of release it.
I just hope to get a stable nice update, no matter if it take a couple of weeks later.
Thanks for all the information!

It is still undergoing beta testing, I assume you would like a bugfree version right? Then be patient!
Can someone pull the ROM or take a logcat to see the link - thnx !
adb logcat > A2017GB10.txt
do it BEFORE ota update
I can confirm they fix the broken lock screen.
Now it's just like before B08 that broke that.
Good job by ZTE.
Hope next month for as much bug free Nougat upgrade.

Stop complaining? Why? I can understand you, but If they announce it several times and don't deliver something...is it not their own fault? Just saying...no hate. :angel:

Can you explain more about this?, I don't see how the lock screen was broken or buggy, I haven't had any problem yet with it and I'm still on B08.
Maybe something I haven't noticed yet?.

When you get notification and pull it down, it should stay down, however it goes to the top of the screen and small.
This is fixed in B10.
