It's the meltdown and spectre bug fix. That's what I gathered from the official firmware thread. It was released for France earlier in the month. Now csc XEU got it.
I just got the update too. 526 mb update.

got that this morning as well but I thought the meltdown and spectre fix was included in the January update

Nugget firmware needed please

Hi can any one post the nugget firmwaree bata please .
There is no nougat beta firmware for Note 5. Only galaxy s7/s7 edge started receiving the firmware in South Korea. You will have to wait for a port or official update, so asking for it is irrelevant.

Nugget firmware? LMAO! :silly:
As the previous person said, there isn't any Nougat firmware available yet for the Note 5 in beta/release. We'll have to wait for an official release or hopefully a port soon.
I just flushed a nugget firmware! Lmfao.

Oreo beta/Gear compatibility?

Anyone in here updated to the Oreo update that leaked, able to connect to their gear devices?
I tried the update. But my gear watch won't connect via the gear app. I'm assuming because it's unfinished software.
Switched back to nougat for the time being.
Having the same problem on my Note 8 on that Oreo leak. Hopefully someone has an answer?
You're supposed to sideload the plug-in for he device

Its a stand alone file called update.zip you put on your SD Card and update to.

The Oreo builds are leaked and require you to be on specific builds of Android. I recommend that you do some research yourself and if you find yourself overwhelmed then you should hold off.

This was a while ago. I sideloaded the gear app and it fixed my connecting issue. But I eventually came back to nougat anyway for various bugs that I didn't want to deal with. I didn't use sammobile for anything. I used the links in another xda post. I believe it was the one about flashing carrier specific firmware. I used Odin to get back. Now everything has been as it was before I tried Oreo. It's been about a month, maybe longer since I've done all of this. I'm waiting g patiently for the official Oreo update. I hope that answers your question. If not, just ask.

Is that the Oreo zip? No of course not. Don't post random links if they cannot help me.
The link you and the other guy posted just states someone might have Oreo on exynos. Does not help my post whatsoever.

I think it will be out very soon, Samsung have really been pushing latest updates and security patches for note 8 since January for all models both unlocked/unbranded and carrier versions and it would be a strange thing to release the S9 with Oreo without the Note 8 getting it either before or at the same time

Indeed...
In other words: there's NO LEAK of Oreo yet for Exynos (otherwise it would have been posted already!)...

Android Oreo info

Hello everyone! I was reading a lot about updating our equipment to Oreo, I was looking on the official page of Lenovorola and I saw that the security patch of March is waiting for us and without Oreo, the Moto Z Play already has Android Oreo planned, I attached both links and draw conclusions, greetings!

Yes
In my opinion, nothing is happening all the time. I still have the January update. Retou, Netherland.
Not got that security patch yet. I check for update every couple of weeks. I've received no Oreo or security updates since the announcement over six months ago that my phone would be getting Oreo, so it would have been more honest to have just said "we're not really all that motivated about providing Oreo updates because...what are you going to do about it?".

I already have android 10, the build number is N960FXXU4DSLB. I am not sure what is my carrier but I live in Egypt.. how could I know my carrier!?
I live in United States but I checked for you it looks like your device is on the latest firmware for your model. Just go to Sammobile or Frija and flash firmware with Odin if its nor updating. I have no idea who your carrier is check 960F thread. Sorry
