G935AUCS4APK1 update today (Nov. 18 2016)

It's 49MB, Nov. 1 security update, Nov. 5 kernel build.

Thanks for the heads up, Gary. Keep em coming.

Is there a firmware install? Don't really want to install Sept FW then Ota

I hope it fixes the bugs from the last update. I had to hard reset yesterday thanks to that mess.

Installed. Not seeing anything added or removed, just the change in kernel and security patch date.

No info found
THERE IS NOTHING ON THE ATT WEBSITE ABOUT THIS ONE YET

That last hot mess OTA that dropped a few days ago made my phone laggy as hell hope this new update fixes that

Same here. Just went to the TMOBILE firmware. First day in it today. Less bloat and better reception.

I am still on the PF2 (June security) and my phone shows that there are no updates available. How do I receive updates? Stock g935A on Cricket.

Yes, they said it is an ATT problem and to contact them. I am waiting to hear back from ATT but I am not hopeful as I have never been a customer of them before.

If not go to best buy, they should be able to update it for you, if there's no other way.

I'm on cricket also. Only way your gonna get at&t ota is if you use a SIM card from at&t. Didn't have to be active just on there network.

Hello again, someone who can upload this update please, looking at Google the last firmware (PJ4) i only find it in pay forums, a Chinese page and another that looks German, when I look for a new update only tells me that I have the current (PI2), I am from different country, so, to me updating via OTA is not possible, If someone could upload it would be much appreciated. :laugh:

Wow. It took over a month for the October Security patch and mere 10 days later for the November patch. Almost makes you wonder why they even bothered with the October patch.

about to go back to the ATT firmware later on today. Question: Since there is no Zip for the November update. If I do OTA from the September patch should I do a factory reset after November update. Ive always been wondering that.
After going back to 935a Sept patch. Try to update a of course. "Current software is up to date" ****ing hate AT&T! ???*

No PK4 zip yet. ????

I know this is just packaged as an Android Security update, but I'm having crazy good battery life since the update. Maybe just coincidence, but I'll take it.

Question for you. Are you running t-mobile U firmware? If so do you prefer it over AT&T?

Getting Marshmallow on Unlocked S6 For Straight Talk

I purchased an unlocked S6 fit my father in law to use on Straight Talk. It's got 5.1.1 on it currently. What's my best course of action to get Marshmallow? Try to get the official AT&T carrier update? Or root and flash something else? I don't have experience with MNVOs. Thanks in advance.

You'll have to check some of these threads to see if 5.1.1 can be rooted. I forgot when it got locked to the point we can no longer root.
I am on Straight Talk and added FOTA to the list in the APN type setting and get my OTA updates. The most recent was a kernel dated Nov 2.

AT&T Galaxy MM with July security updates ROM?

Hi guys,
I'm sorry if this was already covered somewhere else, but unfortunately I couldn't find it.
I have AT&T Galaxy S5 Active SM-G870A with Android 5.0 and I'm outside of the AT&T network.
My employer requires me to have at least Android 6.0 with Android Security Patch Level July 05 2017.
Is this ROM anywhere available yet?
Can I flush the ROM with non AT&T to get an updates over the air with any carrier?
Can I install any available AT&T MM ROM and then install security patches separately, or it is always part of the ROM?
Thanks, I'll appreciate any response.

@radbaus
The last security patch both the G900A and G870A received was back in April 2017, and no custom MM ROMs can be installed due to the fact that the bootloader is locked and it cannot use chainfire without root because no MM root exploit exists currently. It is unlikely that AT&T will release any more security updates for this device as it is well beyond the support timeline.

The best advice I can give to you is to find an AT&T sim, maybe borrow one from somebody, or flash the firmware via ODIN. Please be sure you know what you're doing if you choose the ODIN route, however.

You can upgrade to MM using the Odin files like I did, but the last and final security update was 4-2017 there will be no more.

Stick with international ? or AT&T Stock ?

Not sure if i should stick with the AT&T updates stock or go and flash the International U1 verison of it. Which is doing better performance wise and getting updates ? Which one is most likely to get pie first ? Thanks.

I was originally using the Oreo ota leaks but then decided to switch to the U1 firmware. You loose WiFi Calling and Volte but you also gain an unbranded boot screen, no bloat and also the built in spam protector. I've had better performance and battery life using the U1 firmware vs the leaked ota updates. But it'll probably be different for everyone.
No updates yet still on September patch. Not sure how fast or slow they are :/

so you think i should stick with U1 ? not got to AT&T ? I mean you would think AT&T would get oreo since it's based on that one.

I think you misunderstood me me my bad. The AT&T firmware is Oreo. The U2 firmware is Oreo too it just doesn't have the blostware and boot logo. But you loose wifi calling, volte and possible slow to a updates.
Before I installed the AT&T Oreo leak I was using the stock AT&T firmware and disabled all the bloat and got pretty much the same battery life as I do on the U1 firmware. I'm thinking of going back to the official mostly for the faster ota updates. But you could try it and see how it works for you. I hope I was able to help.

thanks bro it did help. i'm prolly going to go back to AT&T instead since the otas seem to be faster and i think pie is coming to at&t first right ? and how did you know what to delete with the bloatware ?

I would advise that you always install the OS updates via OTA. That way you will always get the latest OS update for your device. I wouldn't recommend installing the OS that is release for a different model of your device. As there is a chance that you could brick it.

I use a thing called Sabs that includes a built in package disabler. It takes a little setting up which you can find guides on. But it's worth it.

N960U1 in the UK

Hi all,
I bought an unlocked note 9 from eBay which arrived today. I got it set up and went to begin installing a different firmware to be able to get the one UI update - only to find out it's a N960U1! I'm in the UK so was expecting/hoping for a N960F.
It's all working, calls work, I've pulled over 3GB of data today all nice and fast, texts working etc. If I was the 'average user' I wouldn't know that it's not a UK one...
My question is, am I likely to hit any road blocks? As long as the radios all work I can't imagine there being any and the play store has all the apps I use available. I'm just wondering if I'm at any advantage/disadvantage?
Thanks

I'm on the same boat (I mean, a similar situation because I'm not in the UK I'm in El Salvador). When I received my phone I started looking for the new UI, but I noticed that I had a very old android build version (I was in September security patch, I received my phone February 11) I started reading about and found out that N960U is the branded version of the note in the US. I wanted to update by Odin to one UI but I was afraid to get my phone carrier locked so after reading a lot more, I found that you can update using the right firmware for the phone (N960U) you don't lose carrier unlock and in my case after installing updates, I don't even have any bloatware.
Now, after this context history, I can tell you that the only thing that will affects is any "radio band enhance" or "carrier feature" and that's because you will not be able to install any UK carrier software to that version because N960U and N960F are different hardware, not just software.
Maybe there is another road block that is about updates, I'm on 9.0 but with January security patch, I have not received any new update. To be hones I'm not sure if there is a new one, so I need to wait to confirm that OTA updates are working for me, if not I will take the time to update by ODIN again haha so that's not something that will drive me crazy, and also related to this I think that N960U android versions are coming faster than I thought, some of my friends with N9600 are still stuck on 8.1
If you want to upgrade go to the following thread, there you will have enough information to update.

Awesome, nice one dude
I used Odin on my previous S8+ to be able to install the one UI beta and that worked fine. Though it did come with a couple of apps that were a part of that carriers firmware (three UK)
I'm aware that the F uses an exynos processor whereas the U is Snapdragon and have seen a couple of guides already. Though they use AT&T firmware and, from what I've seen, have bloatware that would literally be useless to me.
I'll have a look at the guide you linked.
I'd like to have one UI again, but can happily live with the Samsung experience UI if I had to.

Option1:
You can flash the Pie beta since you're running U1, there isn't an official release of Pie as yet.
Option2:
You can switch your device to the U firmware and flash the latest OTA however you would have to manually update each time because you won't be getting an update automatically.

How come the U firmware wouldn't get OTAs?
My S8+ was flashed to get the beta and that received OTA updates.
If I'm to go onto one UI I'd want it to get OTA updates still. If that means waiting for an official release then so be it
On a different note, I installed an app to get the FM radio working today. Can't do that with the UK exynos version ?

Because on the U most OTA comes from the carrier (ATT & VZW) while the rest comes from Samsung.
U1 all updates come from Samsung but U1 updates are months behind.
Advantage of running U firmware is you always get to be on the latest OTA as one is available.

So correct me if I'm wrong but to simplify what you're saying:
The U gets the latest updates sooner but comes with carrier bloat
The U1 gets non bloated updates but Samsung doesn't release then until months later?
I'll leave it and wait if that's the case. I'd be more bothered about having bloat than One UI

Well yes the U comes with bloatware but the amount varies according to carrier, but since you're in the UK. Your CSC will read as XAA/XAA so therefore I doubt you would have any bloatware.
I know this because I myself had own a US device while using in the UK.

Right so even if you switch to U firmware it would still remain XAA/XAA because that would be the default CSC code for Unbranded for American model. F model is normally XEU or BTU

When I did the S8+ I had to go through a pretty big list to find the BTU firmware so assumed I'd have to do the same for the N9
I might give it a go if I get a chance this week

Seeing as you have the US variant of the Note 9. You may have issues receieving connecting to certain networks outside the US. As most US Networks use a different LTE band from the EU/UK
