Like others running Shield v2, there is a regularly occurring notice that says "unfortunately, software update has stopped" This is the brick update failing to update which is great! Shield v2 RULES!!!

But lately, there is a new one on my T-Mobile phone that says "Urgent FW update has stopped"

I think that Samsung is trying some new update, but Shield v2 is holding strong!

I wonder if there is some chump in Korea saying "Dammit, my updates won't go thru on some of the Note7's. GRRR"

In other words, I hope they are completely aware that they have been defeated!

BWAH ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!!

Is it safe to download the V2? I upgraded to PI4 by accident and now lost root, so I did a fresh ODIN and now screwed because all package disablers do not work anymore so this is my last chance. Please help :(

I cannot wait to download the V2. PDP license is no longer active, so my Note 7 feels "naked", especially with this new push from Sammy.

I have that and it doesn't do anything. But periodically it will try to update and fail. You will get 2 notices of "unfortunately, software update has stopped" That is the Shield v2 thwarting the update from finishing.

There is a way to get rid of those notices, but you have to factory reset the phone and reinstall Shield v2 in such a way as to not allow the update to download again. I just live with the notices. Reminds me of how Samsung has been punked

Elkabong is correct.

Once released v3 will prevent the notice if installed correctly
