New Update for the T710 - T710XXU2BPB1

[DeeXii]

There is a new OTA / SmartSwitch update for the T710.
T710XXU2BPB1 is the latest firmware.

I have requested the source and hopefully can get someone to make a permissive kernel soon.

I'm downloading it right now.

All the 5.1.1 kernels work. I've been rooted with recovery since yesterday morning.

Yes but three of the updates since OH7 have had updated kerenels. OL6 was just an updated kernel. One can assume they updated the kernels for a reason.
So say you update to the new OTA PB1 but use the posted permissive kernel you will have a PB1 with a OH6 kernel which cam out 8 months ago.

Looks like the battery life has really improved in this build.

That might be the case. But also remember, with each update comes possible lockdown. ie bootloader, losing root, losing permissive kernel.
Not all updates are good is my point.

Remember, I've built the OJ1 kernel for the OJ1 ROM. But nobody has gotten an update via Samsung via S2 update, past that. OL6, PB1 source or .tar may be out but not in use. Hmmmm wonder why.

And with kernel updates, usually comes updated bootloaders, and ROM's with updates to use the updated kernel.

Just food for thought.

I received PB1 via OTA. I also updated my wife's Tab S2 via SmartSwitch to PB1. So they are indeed in use.
Also FYI OL6 was just a kernel update, the Platform (ROM) was the same as OJ1.

OJ1, OL6, and PB1 all have the same bootloader. So you can always upgrade and downgrade between these.

Bootloader seems to be the same and is the B2 still. I'm running the NN 1.3 kernel with zero problems.

well, if you get impatient you can always flash supersu in systemless mode without permissive kernel, works excellent, never looked back. (I guess there are a few apps that get cranky about that, if you didn't already know, I guess titanium backup might be one.) Dunno, don't quote me on it. :^)

Impatient? What are we waiting for? We already have a couple SELinux Permissive PB1 kernels that allow for normal root.

Here is one of them. Just use the CF-AutoRoot that Ashrx posted after you flash this kernel.

fingerprint scanner works much faster and accurately with this update and battery life is improved

I think I must have posted in the wrong thread somehow, lol.

I agree with the fingerprint scanner statement, it's almost spot on every time, another mistake I was making was trying to angle my finger in some of the positions when setting it up since I mainly use my tablet in horizontal mode.
Not sure about battery life though.

Does anyone have a good mirror for this update?
