You have to update your phone in sequences how the updates came.
Ist- 283mb

You can't skip any previous update before installing newer update.

I had rooted my K4 and foolishly uninstalled "Cloud" and "step counter" as I did not like them. Now my phone throws FC randomly and annoys.

Check in settings>>about phone>>device info
If it shows ROW in build. Number i.e. Rest of World then you can install.
I think there are two lenovo k4 software versions only- 1)Chinese 2)ROW -Rest of World

Friend if you are not able to install any of the updates here are some. Notes which may help you-
-The file should be renamed to update.zip. -all small letters sometime error comes due to it.
-phone should not be rooted
-unrooting also doesn't work. Rare chance of updating success in this case. Try installing stock rom again.
-try downloading with no pause during download as sometimes a file gets corrupted in zip file causing update failure.

Then you can't
Because for every new update its compulsory that you should already have previous update installed.
You should flash stock rom first via sp flash tool and then install all updates according to serial wise.

NOUGAT 7.0 for G928A ADB update step by step...Enjoy !!!

As i promise to one of member here then i will post it and i have it.
I can't help you with any of problems related do to i don't have S6E+ .
For all with March 4CQB2 baseband update for Nougat. SS-G928AUCS4CQB2-to-U4EQC6-UP - link is UP
MD5 :7a55165ce2b9d3ffe6170491813c44ac
Nougat update if you are on 4CQA1 baseband SS-G928AUCS4CQA1-to-U4EQC6-UP.zip - link is up
MD5 checksum : c74d9106d59dcb0411f9a1e4e23ca797
Make sure you know how to ADB sideload. I'm not responsible for any damage to your phone.
Steps:
0. Make sure you are on G928AUCS4CQA1 or March update G928AUCS4CQB2 Baseband. Check this 3 times
1. Backup everything of importance on your phone!!!
2. Now, make sure you have "show file extension" enabled in Windows, and file is ready for ADB as you download SS-G928AUCS4CQA1-to-U4EQC6-UP.zip or after March 20 update SS-G928AUCS4CQB2-to-U4EQC6-UP.zip
3. Shutdown your phone
4. Enter recovery mode by pressing volume up, home and power button together

5. Using the Volume Button Navigate and the Power button to select ‘Apply Update from ADB’

*Note I had issue when the directory contained a space. Moving the update to a directory with no spaces resolved the issue.
Also moved the adb driver to the same directory 'C:\Users\Norbarb\Desktop\Note5'
9. Type adb devices. You should see 1 device listed
10.Type adb sideload SS-G928AUCS4CQA1-to-U4EQC6-UP.zip or after March 20 update SS-G928AUCS4CQB2-to-U4EQC6-UP.zip
11. This took around 25 minutes to complete

I can look for it tomorrow. I'm not familiar with S6E+ at all, i just find update because one of the member ask me if i can. I have no idea what is ladest available firmware for your devices. But like i said i can look for it.
Clicking from Edge of Galaxy

Seems edge+ (and probably note 5) got huge upgrade in Android 7 update. Including performance mode which is not available to gs6.
So far I noticed and worth to mention.
Camera UI renewal
Performance mode
New function from nougat, notification panel and night mode
All the Samsung app seems all redesigned
Display render resolution can be changed between 720p, fhd and wqhd
Battery is better especially for standby time
Great job from Samsung this time

Im sure you know the steps but just in case,
1. Do a full backup, cz you'll need to reset your device after rooting

Im sure you know the steps but just in case,
1. Do a full backup, cz you'll need to reset your device after rooting
2- go to dev options and turn on oem unlock
3- download magisk manager
4- download the rom of your device, extract it, then open ap with 7zip,extract the boot.img.lz4 with 7 zip standard

4- Firstly, downloaded .zip file has many files (AP, CP, BL, HOME_CSC). Which file contains 'boot.img.lz4' file and how to extraxt from .md5 file?
5- How to get boot.img from boot.img.lz4 file? Will renaming the file work?
6- Does magisk work on a no-rooted device?

1.Extract the zip, then open ap as zip, copy boot.img.lz4 to desktop
2.download 7 zip standard, it can extract the lz4 archives.
3. After your extract the image, place it on your device
4. Download magisk manager and launch it
5. When You launch magisk, it will ask if you want to install, press no.
6. go to settings in magisk, scroll down to patch boot.img format, select img.tar
7. Go back to magisk, uncheck preserver force encryption, select install, then choose patch boot.img
8. Magisk will ask to locate your boot img, choose the img you placed on your device.
9. After magisk finish patching, the new img will be placed in downloads folder.
10. Move it to your pc, launch odin and choose ap and choose the patchedboot.img .
11. Go to download mode and flash the img
12. Device will reboot and ask to reset to factory settings. Reset it and after it finish booting, you'll see magisk installed
Some notes :
1.Do full backup bcz you'll have to reset to factory settings your device after rooting
2. Unlock OEM in developer options
3. Magisk doesn't need root, it will root your device.
4. DOWNLOAD 7 ZIP STANDARD, IT CAN EXTRACT LZ4 ARCHIVES

Next question, where to find TWRP recovery for SM-J610F?
---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------
I did not try this method. But, i'm gonna do it soon, because i did it from AndroDef's thread.
He already uploaded for ARJ3, but i had ARIM. But, i'm switching back to ARIM and will surely try this method and will share my experience.

There isn't any custom recovery released for this device yet,but i already submitted a request in TwrpBuilder project a month ago, hope they'll do it soon, you can check it here, it's at the buttom (47,it's the 3rd oldest request)
https://twrpbuilder.github.io/downloads/twrp/#tab=inQueue
Also you can check the completed builds to see if the twrp building for the device is finished.

2- After loading android, did a boot into recovery, it loads twrp recovery

Well if you need custom recovery for xposed, there's xposed module in magisk that can be installed without twrp. I'm already using it and have multiple modules (gravitybox, xprivacy and greenify), all running without problems. For debloating, after your root the device, go to google play and download an app called system app remover, it'll show you all apps on your j6+. Select the apps you want to remove and press uninstall. After uninstallation is done, reboot your device

Sure, but never worked with samsungs. It's my first regular samsung device. Never liked exynos and cortex combo, but it's different.
Last time tried to push recovery.img via adb and it did not work. I have root and root explorer app installed. Where is that log located in system partition. I'm not an skilled linux coder guy but i have serious history with androids and palms.

How to Install Leaked Android 10 Beta OTA on Sprint LG V50

Orginal Title: Sprint LG V50 may get Android 10 beta by End of 2019 (V450PM)
I saw this article here: https://www.mylgphones.com/sprint-lg-v50-thinq-5g-android-10-update-will-release-soon.html?amp
Leaked Frimware details:
Model:LM-V450PM
Size:1508.11MB
Android Pie 9.0: LMV450PMAT-V10p-310-120-SEP-19-2019-ARB00+0
Android 10 Beta: LMV450PMAT-V18a-310-120-OCT-29-2019-ARB00+1
File name: LMV450PM-V10p-310-to-LMV450PM-V18a-310.up
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The article source won't release the beta frimware though. Anybody know where/how to get this or convince them to share it? However though, this is great news!
Edit: Special Thanks to chortya for purchasing the file. The link to download the file comes from the domain dl01.gdms.lge.com which is a legit source from LG directly. The file received is a .mo file, you just rename it to get a .up file. chortya has graciously shared the OTA file in the mega.nz link below!

Now lets figure out how to flash it!
Edit 2: Wow, that was fast! Thanks to aiap for figuring out how to flash this OTA.
aiap said:
SUCCESS!
I ended up not using LGUP, instead this is how I did it. (Make sure to backup, for some reason I had to factory reset because mine was stuck rebooting after "android is installing" notification completed.)
STEPS:
1. Download .up file: https://mega.nz/#!gjJi3KiK!ebsQdxmnXtEYRiG69F5oAlVqNnsZ3c9D7SpWahGI8OQ (thanks @chortya)
2. Rename file to LGUP_FOTA.up
3. Place file in root of internal storage on V50.
4. Download "Activity Launcher" from Play Store
5. Find FOTA Update
6. Hit the first option (com.lge.lgfota.permission.FotaTestActivity)
7. Follow prompts.

I may have found the firmware on a LG firmware site called LGBBS. If someone knows how to purchase from Alipay and risk 50 yuan ($7.10 USD) and would be willing to share the file on Google Drive or so: http://www.lgbbs.com/plugin.php?id=lg_ota&lg_ota=fwbuy&fwid=LCmN1NXswX8eTAJVn1Dhsg==

No I'm just saying I would happily contribute the $7

I am not able to install it. Tried multiple options:
- LGUP FOTA upgrade - device protected error
- recovery mode - both SD card recovery and adb are not working. SD card mounting fails and it seems that my V50 is not connecting to PC if in recovery mode so adb does not see it. adb works fine with phone fully booted, so developer options are enabled and phone is authenticated with pc
- lgup_cmd does not even recognize *.up files
Any thoughts?
Does it make sense to move this to the kernel/firmware section?

Yes. You must flash it with LG-UP 1.16.0.3.
Install lg USB drivers 4.4.2
Install lgup 1.16.0.3
Install lg common dll 1.40
Download and Copy the ui config file (from the LG-UP thread here on the forum) and paste it where the common dll is.
Then enable USB debugging in dev options
Then connect to pc
Then start lg up
Then chose FOTA upgrade
Then load your android 10 beta fota file. Make sure it has. Up extension
Then click start on lgup. Wait for the minute and it should start flashing.
