G3 Unroot Updates

Hi,

First post so be kind..
I've got a UK G3 D855 which, after having massive problems with overheating & battery life following the 5.0 update earlier this year, I rooted. After finding this rendered some of my most used apps useless (not liking rooted devices), I used the unroot tool to revert to stock. I've been reasonably happy with 4.4.2 but would prefer to try updating again now to the latest version (5.1.1?).
Now the problem I have is when using the check for updates within the update centre, I am told it is running the latest version available!
Any ideas why and how to get around?

Thanks.

On average, how many software updates do you guys get in a month or two?

Title says it all.

Block System Updates for S4 (720) (720T)

Yow will need a file manager such as Xplore or ES File Explorer.

Go to build prop and change ro.product.device=jfltespr_xxx or to anything after jfltespr_(texthere).
This will block all system updates.

works on 4.4.2 and 5.0.1


Thanks to @amadorsg1 :good: :highfive:

bricked S6 until further updates?

I did something very stupid, I rooted my S6 today and turned off that OEM unlock mode and rebooted my s6 and now it gets stuck in the boot up screen and says custom binary blocked by FRP Lock, I was able to get to the download update page and the recovery page but I cant do anything with it, odin will not let me flash because of the FRP Lock, now I am downloading the latest stock rom for my S6, the same as the rooted one that I had, would I be able to flash it using odin? I heard that you can flash official stock rom even with the FRP Lock, you just cant downgrade it, but what about the same version, can I flash it successfully, or would I have to wait till the next version roll out? thanks for any info
