Received a notification that the December Security update is available to download but when I check the patch notes it takes me to a Samsung SM-N950U1/VZW website.
I assume this is safe to download, but I'd like to avoid ending up with Verizon bloatware and whatever else comes with the Verizon rom.
Will downloading this update Verizon-ify my phone?
Build number is N950U1UES2BQL2
You've got a VZW SIM inside the device, that's why that comes up. If you replace VZW with SPR or TMO you'll get their specific page

Okay cool, so I'll still be installing the factory unlocked update?

Hello,
I still haven't got the 7.1.1 OTA update. Every month I keep getting the security updates for the 7.0 version. I checked my build version and compared it with the one mentioned on google's site and my version is NBD92D ( Mar 2017 ) which according to google is the build for ATT only. I am not using ATT , Infact I don't even have ATT in my country!
Does anybody else have this problem? Do I have to sideload the Image?
Yes, just sideload the image.

I do have the same problem, last night I received update and applied it, after that I've checked the version is also NBD92D(AT & T). My Nexus 6 is bought in HK but not HK official goods and sourced from Australia. However, I am not able to verify my Nexus 6 is not AT & T version and the only way is to trust the Google update program version check, luckily until now no problems notice on the phone.
In the meantime, I do also consider to update to 7.1.1 (N6F26U) but my phone does not popup any update on the system update check, and right now the N6F26U update is removed. Now I plan to wait and see any further action/update from Google on Nexus 6.
@mega23mac: The AT&T Nexus 6 has the Death Star logo on the back and has its service locked to that carrier. If you had one where you are, it wouldn't work at all if locked and if unlocked likely wouldn't get LTE. To verify the model, enter the bootloader. In your case you want to see model number XT1100 in the display.
With that out of the way, if you want the latest 7.1.1 on your device, go to Google's developer pages, download the latest OTA image, and flash it. Waiting for an OTA is pointless with a Nexus device.

That's the suspicious part, my Nexus 6 doesn't have the "Death Start" logo on the back, and I can get LTE, and I do see the model no. of XT1100 in the bootloader. But from the Settings > About phone > Build number, what i saw is NBD92D (the update is from OTA).
However, I am consider to flash the N6F26U as the Android Pay failure is not important to me as I use it not much.
Thanks, Strephon.

How will you flash that update? Google pulled the image immediately after they got to know about the android pay failure

Google seems just remove the link but not the file, u can find the link from this forum easily. In addition, now Google release the link again.
I bought Moto E4 Plus, XT1774, Verizon prepaid version from Target a week ago. Bought an unlock code from eBay to unlock it successfully and it is used on Tmobile, all good.
I also removed several Verizon apps via adb commands. But I read somewhere that if I do a factory reset, these Verizon apps will come back. I have not tried it.
A few days ago I saw a system update notice, says new version: NDRS26.58-33-2 is ready to install. My question is:
1, Should I install it just for the security update benefits? I do not know what's in this update, assuming security update.
2, Is there a way to delete this update that is already downloaded to my phone? There appears to be no option to delete this download and make it go away permanently. I will be nagged by this alert every week I suppose if I cannot disable it.
Thanks in advance for any tips ,
Not sure if it will cause issues with what you did. More than likely it will just install the new version, and re-add the apps. Unless you're rooted I don't think you can delete the update. It will keep asking you to install until you do.
Didn't think the E4 Plus would get any updates. I got the Sprint version, and haven't seen any updates yet.

It will continue to get system/security updates, but not OS upgrades. The system/security updates are based on carriers (unless you have an unlocked version then you'll get them from Moto when ready).

With having the sprint version, so far I haven't got any security updates. I have the June 1st security patch. I did flash the unlocked version ROM, so I wonder if I will get an update directly from Moto and not worry about Sprint delaying them.
Another thing I wonder is will Moto release an update soon to take care of krack vulnerability?
Hi guys,
I want to know how to update to latest oreo update with all the security patches.
I am following this how-to thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...w-to-install-android-oreo-snapdragon-t3716281 but in the OP the links are broken.
Can anyone update me on this?
The phone is from verizon but I didn't use it on verizon. I got this phone last November. Currently using on Cricket, so probably I don't get automatic updates from Verizon.
my note 8 info:
7.1.1
experience v. 8.5
security patch level Nov 1, 2017
Baseband v. N950USQS2BQK2
Thanks in advance.

I am unsure if you should be on a much newer filmware or not. Sometimes a factory reset can resolve OTA not coming through, this will delete the phone memory though, so back up your data.
You can also get official filmware from sammobile and updato. Just if you want to flash Oreo with Odin, make sure you use the latest version of Odin (3.13.1)

I am on Cricket and using Verizon note 8 that I got from last December. Last update was in November when I still have Verizon. After inserting Cricket sim card, there has never been an update anymore. I turned on Wifi and went into settings> software update to refresh, and there is no awaiting update. I didn't change to unlock firmware (as I do not know how). How do you go about installing the updates to latest Oreo using Odin? I am on 7.1.1 with build 2BQK2

I recommend that you try a factory reset to see if that pushes the OTA update.
If this fails, I will help you step by step with Odin.
Currently running Baseband Version N960USQU1CSC1, Android Security Patch level: March 1, 2019.
I have never received an OTA update since buying my phone in Aug 2018. For the Android Pie update and all updates since, I have been performing them via ODIN.
Neither AT&T not Samsung have been able to troubleshoot this issue. Appreciate any help on how I can setup my phone to receive OTA updates.
Thanks!

The new firmware is in another post. Just Odin and you'll be current.
I have unlocked on AT&T , and just got the April update this morning, all OTA. Never had to Odin the updates , but definitely not as quick as the carrier branded models. I have only added the APN names when I got the phone(preorder so August 2018) and that's the only setting I changed.
Didnt think flashing instead of waiting for OTA would cause any troubles, but Samsung is sneaky sometimes. Have you thought that maybe you flashed the incorrect files, maybe carrier vs unlocked? Also, factory wipe and reset ? I know the pie update did some screwy things for me and it seemed better after a wipe .

Has anyone actually received the update to ATK1? I was on ATJ5 with the October update however I saw the ATJ1 in Frija. The phone was saying I was up to date so I am manually flashing it. I am just curious if my phone was going to get the update or not as I am running a SIM unlocked ATT device on the unlocked firmware.
I received the ATK1 update OTA last week. I'm on ATT with a factory unlocked phone.

ditto for me.
Recieved the update on the 24th. Same date as the previous month's update. Both times I had to manually check for updates before it showed up. On Mint with a factory unlocked.
I'm USA unlocked on T-Mobile and was tired of waiting for the update. They are always last to push it. So I used the guide that was posted on this forum on how to change your CSC to check for and download the update. Worked perfect. Had the new update installed in like 5 minutes.
