Avant software updates

Some random thoughts...
Rooting only disables OTA thru the handset itself...
And...the ability to install the upcoming Samsung Pay(assuming a workaround port to non Sx models).
 
No, not sure if the light supports band 12. What I'm saying is you can pull the updated radio and make it flashable zip.
Thanks, that's what I thought you meant.
Waiting on something else similarly cheap, to upgrade it...just transferred to a complex with sketchy signal penetration.
Gonna be a while...lol

Update to what?
Certainly not for this phone...barring some security bug find...

I would assume so, for band 12 but it might be awhile

I'm in a T-Mobile LTE covered area, but don't get anything better than hspa+ signal. I'm on ank3 firmware. My friend lives here too on aod7 and same thing.... No LTE. So what's the deal?
 
My bad. I forgot I have an xposed mod that adds that option in network settings. Without it you have to dial: *#2263#
Click LTE band preference > LTE all > menu option in the upper right corner > back > automatic
I wonder if that works on my ank3 baseband?
 
The only way to update your baseband is with Odin. The avant won't allow the baseband to be updated unless your device status says official.
Yea i don't have access to a computer but i used the hack feature in wanam and made it official and got the ota update to error thing stop and it downloaded this time but failed so i unrooted and put the stock recovery back on it got to about 26% and failed. I rerooted with kingroot and used a app called supersu me to take off all that kingroot stuff and install supersu again. Back at square one
