New Update this morning. Anyone Else? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

So I noticed this morning, my Sprint Galaxy S8+ had a software update. 388mb in size. Just trying to decide if I should go ahead and update or wait because our badass devs are close to releasing root on these phones and don't want to prevent my phone from being able to be rooted. Anyone else get the update notification?

VOLTE and wifi calling
---------- Post added at 04:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:06 PM ----------
I posted a thread the the s8+ general forum

With the addition of calling plus it also gave me a message about rich communication when I went into messages.

I have removed battery icon, alarm and Bluetooth icons. Do you think it'd be ok to update without adding those icons back? I have uninstalled all overlays already and gonna enable all disabled apps. Just wanna know if it'd be safe to take update.

Not sure but I read it somewhere, you can test it out though ?

So I updated my s8 plus just fine and I just did my wife's and after the update installed, the phone rebooted and now this keeps popping up. It won't let me out of it. Is there a way to boot into a safe mode or something to get pass this? What options do I have here? I can't lose the pics she has on this phone.
Never mind, got it fixed.

Anyone else that's updated to this update, have u tried overlays or substratum themes? I think that was the problem with updating my wife's s8 plus because I had the center clock mod installed on her phone when I did the update and I think that's what caused the system ui crash message. Now that we're updated, I would like to install overlays or use substratum again but don't want to crash my phone lol

Enhanced Messaging???
Anyone having issues with Enhanced messaging?
Mine is asking for a Verification Code and Sprint and Samsung have no idea what code it wants.
Does yours work? I have two S8+ but cannot test because my phone wants a code.

I took the update earlier today. All my overlays are working just fine and even my Bixby remap app still works.

If you have issue with the enhanced features, simply restart your device, then try again.

no you must be on a gsm capable rom and obviously you need root and a custom recovery to install one...its pretty easy...and you need to set up the apn's to get your data...also easy
Hi I am doing the same thing and have gotten data and text to work and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on there apn settings that have been able to get 3g or better speeds because I am stuck on edge. Thank you

Raven can correct me if I am wrong, but I believe you have to be in an area that has 1700/1900 MHz band refarmed for hspa+ to work. Or you will have to do some NV edits to get 3G/H+

Thank you for replying I had found a post with some nv edits for a ATT sim that I tried with a ATT sim I had before but had no luck. I am still S-on don't know if that makes any difference and running Sun Dream gsm Rom

No your right in order to get 3g or 4g some hard editing is required but you can still set up your data and get edge speeds for basic easy setup....however straight talk and att made a deal within the last few months....and requires their mini sim card and the mini sim to normal sim adapter to get 4g on the rezound I'm actually going to confirm this very soon...within the next week or so I'll definitely have an answer

Thanks for the reply.I also tried the pacman 4.3 ROM in your signature and it came up with different APN and was not able to get data at all with it. I will try the nv edit for T-Mobile and if still a no go will go back to my ATT sim. Edge data is a lot faster with it. Good luck as we patiently await your findings with the mini sim

Did you manually and properly set the correct APN...not the one that automatically gets brought up....those are auto generated by the device tree build and is hard coded so it may not always work
Yes with the APN settings it chose I had no signal at all. Going to try the NV edits for tmobile now will post back results thanks again

No you dont choose it...you have to manually enter it in under settings then mobile networks....also make sure your sim card is placed in properly...even us dev's messed that up sometimes....also sun dreams rom had many issues for me...including a few gsm errors...try a different rom thats much more stable
nitsene which
When I loaded the pacman 4.3 I also found a CM 10.2 patch that I installed with it.I am guessing that is why it had 4 different apns to chose from and had one already checked when it booted up. When I found I had no signal I put in the apn info that came with my sim card and got data and texting working with it just with edge speeds. Should I not install the gsm patch? Do you have another rom to recommend? Thank you again for your replies and help

You actually can still unlock your bootloader and root using this, it just won't flash the custom recovery for you. You have to do that yourself with fastboot.

It will work. It's how I rooted my phone.
It still works because it unlocks the bootloader via HTC DEV. From there you can fastboot a custom recovery, and from there you can flash anything you want.

Kit Kat closer for Sprint Users..

My wife and son have htc one's with Sprint, and they got the kit kat update this morning...I assume that means its very very close for the Sprint one max..
well, i guess not unfortunately... as per LlabTooFeR, it was under testing a few days ago, i would not expect it too soon.

I bet it comes to the one max this week...now, how much longer after that until its in a custom rom, 'cause most of us will not go back to stock just to get an OS update....or will we??
I guess me personally, I don't see a major advantage going through all the hassle of locking the phone all back up stock if I can get the same features on a ROM that sports the 4.4 Kit Kat features. I mean firmware updates, yeah maybe a loss, but risking hboot changes.. Na not till someone else tries it Haha

I am going to stock soon, just to get the OTA update and then upload it here. The only dev who had the international unlocked version was @navalynt and he was unfortunately bricked the phone He was the first dev to post a custom ROM for the MAX!
really wish it reaches early, but expect that to happen. keeping fingers crossed.
I think the dev's can quickly update the base, but the original One is going to keep them busy too!

And Oh, i got to keep root keeper during the OTA to keep ROOT! or try to manually flash the OTA with keeping it unlocked ( dont know if that is possible)
well, i am more worried about the kernel sources. this is getting completely totally out of bounds for HTC to keep the kernel sources for such a long time!
According to the Roadmap Verizon Max just went to Certification ... Sprint Max is still in Integration.

Nougat update UK

Anyone know what is happening with the nougat update in the UK? I am sat on 6.0.1 with the 01 August security patch. Anyone got anything newer? build number is MPL24.246-45
Looks like US versions have received it but not heard of anywhere else having got it yet?
Same build as you here I think it's due anytime though...
Hoping so, guess there were problems with the initial OTA.

Downloading now and so excited! Now only if somehow we could root it and make reach its full fun potential.

It's been a while since I've logged on. The OTA has been available since the day after AT&T also A LOT of the s8 apps work like bixby samsung pass secure folder etc. I don't even want the s8+ no more just gonna get like 3 cases and a glass screen protector. How do u guys like android 7.0 on the s6. I'm also sad to say AOD will NEVER work on this phone uprooted butttttt our version is the edge clock and mine has been more efficient since the update keeping it on from 12pm to 12am is really the only time to take a quince glance. Whewww that was a mouth full hope everyone has a good day :good::laugh:

Wowwwww I know I'm not the only vzw s6 e+ owner wit official 7.0. Can any other users confirm an OTA and region thx in advanced
I love the update. I hate that I can't use free fonts anymore and the fonts you can use are a dollar each and not even much to choose from. Also (and this is a hardware thing) I have bad screen burn on this phone. I've never had any other phone get screen burn. On a white screen you see my keyboard, browser, and facebook have permanently marked my screen. Kinda sucks. Lol I digress. The update is awesome. Really don't understand why this is like the only galaxy phone we can't root lol

I've been trying to see if the update is available for days now. No dice! I tried both OTA & the Verizon software assistant...
I'm using a StraightTalk (AT&T) sim card in my S6 Edge-Plus and from what I've seen, OTA is only available if you're using a Verizon sim card. I get the below error (and it has never worked really):
Settings>System Update>Check for system updates:

Software update is temporarily unavailable. Try again later.
Can someone please post a link/tutorial to the Nougat firmware?

I love the update. I hate that I can't use free fonts anymore and the fonts you can use are a dollar each and not even much to choose from. Also (and this is a hardware thing) I have bad screen burn on this phone. I've never had any other phone get screen burn. On a white screen you see my keyboard, browser, and facebook have permanently marked my screen. Kinda sucks. Lol I digress. The update is awesome. Really don't understand why this is like the only galaxy phone we can't root lol

Are you using a Verizon sim card in your phone? Did you get the update via OTA or the Software Updater program?
Thanks

I feel like if we use a 1 click root method it would work to a certain extent cause we don't have a custom recovery for this specific device which means we could brick a phone easier without the proper custom recovery
