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.

Remove root, load factory recovery, update, load recovery of choice, 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.

Do you have the firmware file to share for the 4/64?

VIE-L09C432 lack of updates, who to blame?

I've got an P9 Plus (VIE-L09C432) and the latest update I get is B370 from March 2017. I can see from other users on XDA and Firmware Finder (FF) that there are newer updates out there. But neither "system update" on the phone, nor HiSuite finds anything newer than B370.
Why is different updates available only in some regions. Who decides this? Huawei or my phone company?
I tried updating via FF, but even though it makes the system updater find a newer firmware it failes when I try to download it. My next phone will by a pure Google phone.

The build have to be approved by Huawei in FF.
For your phone, the latest approved build are B381.

Yes, the question then is why do I never get any updates newer than B370? Is somehow Huawei or Telia (my phone company) holding the updates back?

Strange, i'm a swede with Telia...got B381 OTA weeks ago.
(it has nothing to do with Telia)

Sent a mesage to Huawei support and they asked for my IMEI number and would look into why my phone never got the updates after B370. Have not heard back from them yet, but I'm optimistic. At one time I have unlocked my boot loader and rooted the phone, but I relocked it and restored the phone via B360 which was updated to B370 via my one and only OTA received. I found I had little or no use for root on the phone.

B384 is now approved in FF. (Smooth update)
Security patch April 1
3D camera

Today I got B384 as official OTA ...

I gave up waiting for the updates via OTA and just used FF, now on B384 myself.

Huawei don't give much love to us up here in Scandinavia. Well known!! and specially L09-C432.
The L29C363 seems to get more attention.

note 8 sm-n950U update to oreo from 7.1.1

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.

question about flashing with odin

I have the Olympic Edition N950N and I see that there is a software update for the phone but it is not showing up in the OTA or with smart switch. If I were to use Odin to update my phone, would the Olympic boot screen and theme be deleted on my phone? Or should I just wait and see if I get the OTA at some point?

I would recommend that you wait for it to become available via OTA rather than install manually. As you might accidentally install the OS for a different variant onto your device and brick it.

Ok, but I saw this for the KTC model, hopefully I will get the OTA soon. If you have a N950N, did you get your update yet? I know the other carriers have also got thier July updates as well. And they look like big updates as well, samfirm said it was 3.5 GB, and I haven't had an update since may with the April security patch. But thanks for your help!

I have already received that update for my device. I have the LG telecom model of the N950N. You should have received yours by now. Guess it must take a little longer for the Olympic edition....

Still on Android 8.0 (Oct 2018) update.

I'm still on Android 8.0 on my unlocked Moto X4 (XT1900-5). Is anybody else still 8.0 with this model?

Yes, I did not receive the OTA update to pie from Motorola yet (xt1900-7).

Glad to hear it, I was starting to think something was wrong with my handset.

Me too. We were left behind.

OTA server issue?
Are you in the UK? My moto x4 is stuck on the exact same update. XT1900-5, reteu software channel.
Motorola UK's website shows that the Pie update has been released when in actual fact, it has not been released at all. I have a feeling that there has been some error or issue with the OTA server causing no one here to recieve it.
A few people got it in December when it was released for all other variants, but that OTA clearly stopped soon after and now there have been no updates since October. It's a pretty poor performance from Motorola to be honest. I see no reason why they can't at least release security updates for Oreo.

Yep in the UK XT1900-5, unlocked.

With an unlocked bootloader, you usually will not get any OTA updates. If you can download them, then you cannot install them.

I meant unlocked, as in SIM free.

I've emailed Motorola, who told me they contacted their technical team. They are adamant that Pie will be released officially in the "near future" and they are aware there haven't been any updates since October. So, take that as you wish.

The Android 9.0 update has just appeared on my phone today.

Someone over on reddit mentioned that he wasn't getting it ota, but temporarily switched to a SIM from another carrier and it immediately showed up when he booted to the new SIM.

It seems that it now says on Motorola's UK software upgrade page, that the Moto X4 sim free began rolling 9.0 on 24th June 2019.

That would've been me. I'm not sure if it was a coincidence though because the update was released on the same day!

I had a similar experience. XT1900-5 version, running android 8.0.0 when I bought it. Didn't find any updates when I searched to try to update it to android 9 (pie) , I unlocked the bootloader, and later on decided to put a sim in it. After a few minutes of having the sim in, it found the update. The update downloads but when it's downloaded and in the "verifying" stage, it fails, probably because I unlocked the bootloader.
Advice to anyone with a locked bootloader - don't be like me, try putting a sim in the phone and get the update before doing anything else if you want Android 9.

must be stock rom to allow update to complete. Plug it to Motorola Rescue and Smart Assistant to see if it will update it.
