Got an OTA update today. - G2 General

Does anyone know what this is? I'm not going to install yet it seeing as I'm rooted and have a custom recovery. Just curious I guess.

I purchased the phone yesterday. So this may be an update that you guys already received.

That's what it is...I just got the phone last Saturday so already had the update.

I've already rooted/unlocked my phone, and I'm running the base ROM. Is it safe to install this update? I haven't seen anyone mention it, so I'm thinking it's probably alright. However, I figured it would be safer to ask anyway, given the "do not allow any OTAs to install without asking if they are compatible" warning in the FreeGee thread .

I don't think it will install if you're not on stock. I think the install will fail.

I see. So am I missing out on some major bug fixes or anything like that? Is there a changelog somewhere?

(Q) What is....

I'm new to the device and I've seen a few things unfamiliar to me such as GEEB & Geespr...I googled GEEB and only came across ROM threads with GEEB in the title. I've checked all the threads for the device hoping to find a clear definition. I couldn't find anything, so what is GEEB and Geespr ?

Short answer. You want to use geeb since you have att/e970. Geespr is sprint/ls970.

Well hey thank you...I appreciate that...also I've been thinking a lot about unlocking the bootloader, I've realized an user has created an app just for that purpose. Is there any reason I should want to unlock it ? What are your thoughts

Unlocking is required before bloatware can be removed, also needed for installing recovery used to flash custom ROMs. If you bloat is removed without unlocking you will get security error soft brick upon reboot needing lgnpst to restore.
Phones rooted, was running pa beta 6 but switched to m3 snapshot...I came from the GNote and that phone didn't have an unlocked bootloader either. The only phone I ever bootliad unlocked was way back in the day when I had a HTC g1

If you have a custom then the bootloader is unlocked.

Bought used, rooted S4. Am I unlocked?

Before I get people in here looking to "flame a noob", please leave me alone if that is your intention. If you genuinely are a helpful person, please read on.
I came from an unlocked s3 before I purchased a phone from Swappa and it is rooted and works fine. However, it has a pink theme and I am not into it. Additionally, I want to upgrade the rom if possible.
The issue is that I don't know if I need safestrap or of it has an unlocked bootloader. The reason why is from what I have read, the mj7 baseband is locked down. However, the phone seems to be running a custom kernel, which from what I have read is not possible on a locked down version. Is it possible that the baseband is just the one used by the custom rom?
Is there a definitive way to know if I can install roms without safestrap?
Thanks for your help!

Install phone info app from play store. If you don't see any reference to mdk...then you have a locked bootloader and can only use safestrap
sent by safestrap powered echo v26
I'm no pro, but I think having that kernel means that you have a mdk phone. I guess you should still check with "samsung phone info" and take a look at the bootloader part. You might be a lucky man
You rock. I installed the app and found this. It seems that I have the MDK bootloader. Perfect.
Thank you!

Wow talk about lucky! You'll be able to flash any ROM you want, even AOSP.

You are one of us lucky ones. Just a golden rule for MDK users.......NEVER take an OTA update. I recommend vanir ROM if you want to try aosp.

Guys, just wanted to say thanks again. I was able to install Hyperdrive on my S4 with TWRP, just like I used to on my s3. This is awesome. Thanks for everything.

I can't find it anywhere which makes me wonder how slow this roll out must be.
Its not out yet but this is where you'll get it from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...stock-sprint-lg-g3-ls990-zv8-tot-ota-t3030327

Got another update today

Seems like some security updates and other items. Here is a screenshot. Anyone else get this yet? Haven't seen any info on here but truthfully didn't look to hard for it

Yeah, I had to enable all disabled apps for this to work
Updated yesterday for me.
I updated mine, but I'm showing CVE-2015-3864 as still vulnerable.

I used an app called "Stagefright Detector" from the store. Takes about 5 seconds to run. There are 2 or 3 other apps in the store for this issue.
Or did you mean the update?
More importantly, did it break anything? I think I will wait a few days to see.
New to the Note 3, previously had a S3, rooted and ROMed, so this is a bit different for me.
Thanks,
Tommy
I don't think it broke anything, I was hoping to fix my light sensor with this upgrade but no. Ever since the Lollipop upgrade my light sensor sucks
