Notes:
1. The above process will not affect your Knox Warranty Flag.
2. The process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, Stock Recovery, and Bootloader to OC5. The OC5 Bootloader allows for downgrading your firmware at any time.
3. If you do not already have root access you must flash the G870AUCU1ANE4_Full_Odin.tar and root with TowelRoot, before continuing with the above process.
