QC1

Did anyone else get an update to QC1 recently? I can't notice anything too different, except for the latest security patch.

Yes, it's just a normal security patch. No major changes unfortunately

There is updated Bootloader to V6 too. So you can't downgrade anymore to privies firmware.
New S5DPK5-to-S6DQC1-UP ADB sideload update. This update is official
If you update you not going to be able to go back unless someone post ODIN files of this firmware. Also i have Nougat files U5EQB8 to U6EQC9 with Version 6 bootloader is anybody want to try PM me. I will not post here for now since this contain version 6 bootloader and is not official yet so you can go back if other build will become official.

XT1806 Latest patch?

Just curious if anyone with the US model 1806 gotten a patch update recently within the last couple months. Im still running with the the June 2017 patch.
Ive seen some people saying they have an October or January or February patch, so just wanting to see what others may have if its different
My build number is NPS26.116-26 no updates available to download from the phone

Retgb; still on October patch

The January 1, 2018 security update landed on my phone about a week ago. It's number NPSS26.116-45-9. You have to have October you can get this one, though. I am using a retus model. Probably too late to find my zip though. You might wanna check Reddit.

may i ask which version you have 3g/32gb or 4g/64gb

Yeah, I have the 3/32GB version. Interesting idea.

I got the 4/64 and i flash the lastest firmware already and i got the the January patch i am in US....

I have a copy if it helps, Jan update
drive.google.com/file/d/1DN5OEu6FkymCKJWjOgukzfI3yOKZM59t/view?usp=sharing

i wonder why my retus model didnt get an update stuck on july 1 2017.. And i got it midway through december so i would think that I would have gotten a software update out of the box over wifi for it? then again right now its bootloader is unlock and the bootloader says the software is modified?

I just got the message for the January Security update for XT1806 (retus sanders). Trying to figure out a way to patch and keep root... Or patch then re-root.

Doing just that, I was being cheeky when I said "figuring out ..." I was hoping that flashfire or RSDLite was still an option... but your steps above are still the easiest thing to do.

What is OPWS27.113-45-4 (notice the S after OPW)

I am owner of Moto G6 Plus but I have noticed the images others are uploading are "OPW" releases for Moto G6 Plus. I tried flashing one but I got error. Why my stupid phone have different builds, and what's the difference in "OPW" and "OPWS" builds. I guess I cannot use firmwares uploaded here? Any hope for me?

I have too "S" version and I flashed successfully OPW version from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g6/development/firmware-moto-g6-g6plus-t3789274 (after flashing OPW version it's still showing OPWS)

I didn't flash the whole firmware. I tried patched boot.img with magisk. I got error something like "partition boot-1 doesn't exist".

You probably need to use "mfastboot" instead of "fastboot" command. Download this: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754477464
Unpack it and place the boot.img in same directory. Open Command Prompt in that directory. Correct command is: mfastboot flash boot bootimagename.img
Here you can also find the correct patched boot.img: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g6/how-to/guide-magisk-patched-boot-image-opw27-t3794977

Got the S too
Hi,
I bought my new Motorola G6+ Evert last week here in Mexico. (where I live)
It's fully unblocked
Version PVT1, SKU XT1926-6
Running Oreo 8.0
But I wondered me about that Build Number.
While every tutorial is saying that I can just flash TWRP with that Build-Number : OPW27.113-45-4
Because I have: " OPWS27.113-25-4 "
I've upgradet OTA and it still says, that I have the latest security patch (1. June 2018) and so on....
So I wonder if I can unlock the bootloader, flash OPW27.113-45-4 or OPWS27.113-45-4 to be able to install TWRP Recovery from
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76501832&postcount=3
Purpose:
I can't wait to get my new babe rooted to install the real hot Stuff on it.
But it's still confusing why I got that different Build Number.... Maybe it's because of my location.
But i'am not shure if it is safe to root it and to flash SuperSU and TWRP. With my B-Number.
So may some one got the right Firmware for me ?
Sunny Greetings

OPW27.113-45 is normal firmware.
OPWS27.113-45-4 is same firmware but with new security patch.
S for Security and 4 for revision version.
You can't install a previous version of the current on the device without unlocking the bootlader.

And what about the "-25" vs "-45"? I have the same firmware here (Argentina): OPW27.113-25
Thanks!

Also what about this version OPW27.113-89 with security patch level 1 July 2018 for Australia.

AT&T Note 9 still stuck on August security build - Odin advice needed

I've got an AT&T branded Note 9 stuck at the Augist security patch. I've tried a few things (clearing cache on software update, setting date forward, safe mode, Smart Switch) and none have worked, so I'd like to give ODIN a try.
Based on the version I'm at now, can anyone recommend the specific files/versions I'll need to use in order to get my phone up to date but NOT wipe my data? I'd be fine with whatever the latest AT&T release is if it means that I might again begin receiving OTA updates.
My current info is in the attached screenshot. Any help would be appreciated. I'm not technically inept, but it's been a while since I flashed an update via unofficial means and never on a Samsung device.
Thanks,
-Brett.

Just download the most recent version of the firmware with SamFirm tool, then flash it with ODIN. Use HOME_CSC and you shouldn't have to wipe.

After checking sammobile, only 1 firmware available for n960u at&t which is that august firmware.

I wonder if they're missing some updates? According to AT&T, this should be the current version:

Pardon my ignorance, but would that put me on a path to no longer get updates from AT&T directly? Meaning, if I applied the latest updates that's not AT&T specific, would that cause me to no longer get updates from AT&T (not that I've been getting even those...) in the future?
Thanks,

So I can go right from my current August version straight to this latest without incrementally doing each patch in between?

Yes just flash away, do a data backup before you flash, cause AT&T will wipe your phone.

In my experience, Sammobile never has the current ATT firmware. They have all the other carriers, just not ATT. Plus it's slow AF to download from them.
That's why I said to use the SamFirm tool to download it. It always pulls the most recent firmware and does it directly from Samsung servers, so it's super fast and reliable.

Why would that take you off the ATT update path? I never suggested using firmware that wasn't specific to ATT. You download the most recent firmware from ATT with the SamFirm tool and flash it in ODIN.
In model you put SM-N960U and for region, you use ATT. As long as you're on an official ATT build, you stay on the ATT update path.
The SamFirm tool just pulls the updates directly from the Samsung servers, rather than going through slow-ass sammobile or updato.

That's totally my own ignorance/caution showing. It's been quite a while since I did any sort of ROM flashing and I'm really out of the loop. I was just double checking that what you were suggesting was the latest for AT&T and not a global update of some sort.
Thanks for clarifying. I'll give the SamFirm/ODIN combo a try when I get home from work. I'll be sure to back up first (assuming Safe Switch is a good way to do so?) and hope things don't get wiped in the process. Seems to be conflicting advice between you and Venom0642, but even if it gets wiped it's not a huge deal as long as I'm backed up.
Thanks again for your time!

Yup, just back up with Smart Switch and Samsung Cloud.
When you flash with ODIN, just skip the USERDATA file and use HOME_CSC instead if CSC_OYN. That SHOULD avoid wiping your phone. But ATT is weird, so I can't promise that.

EDIT - I decided to just give it a try. I flashed the AP, BL, CP, and CSC from Venom0642's post above and skipped Userdata. It worked, without wiping the phone!
Current version info attached. Thanks all for your help!

Glad you got it all figured out!!

Will this work on a Note 9 that was originally on Sprint converted to AT&T? I bought this phone on Ebay to use for ATT and the software shows as ATT/ATT/SPR. I am still on October update and want to try to flash the update to at least December.

Question Should You Flash the Latest Software Or Flash All Previous Software Updates Incrementally

Hello guys.
So I recently got a phone that's stuck with the August 2021 security patch. I wanna flash the latest software so had 2 questions:
1. Should I flash the most recent software update or considering I've never actually updated my phone, should I flash all the previous updates from August first before I flash the latest one.
2. I wanted to know if anyone has experience flashing SM-G998U1 firmware on a SM-G998U phone. I heard you can flash "U1" or carrier unlocked firmware on a "U" or carrier locked phone. Just that you'd lose all your data. I have an SM-G998U locked to Verizon and since I'm not in the US Verizon says they can't unlock it for me. So my only option is to flash new firmware updates. But I can't for the life of me find any Verizon SM-G998U firmware from after August 2021 (that's my latest security patch) online. So wanted to hear from anyone with experience that's flashed "U1" firmware on a "U" phone.

I'm not trying to unlock my phone. It's usable cause it doesn't reject simcards. Just denies me OTA updates. All I want is new software.
Is there another option apart from flashing new firmware if I want to update it? I'd love to unlock the phone but all the websites keep talking about generating codes. My phone doesn't request a code. And I can still use it. If there isn't another option for unlocking, can you assist with the questions I've asked?

Fine to flash new firmware to get the latest.
1. If you flash complete FW using Odin, you can flash the latest, no need to flash intermediate updates.
2. Did you search the forum yourself? See following thread for FW versions of the US-devices: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...s-and-flashing-discussion-here.4220111/unread

Thanks so much for all the help Yeah I've seen that thread before. But only firmware available until November 2021. Nothing after. So think I'll try the U1 to U option for now.
