Yesterday (July 20) I got an OTA update on my factory unlocked S6 that updated me from PF1 to PG2. I suppose a similar update will come to T-Mobile models soon. According to Sammobile the last update (PF1) came out on the unlocked 920T 8 days before the T-Mobile version. My phone is still 6.0.1. The only change I noticed so far is vibration on the stock keyboard no longer works when power saving mode is on. Anyone else notice changes? I think part of this update is to allow Samsung Pay to work with the Gear S2.
When I first got my Note8 I flashed the unlocked ATT firmware to get rid of carrier bloat. If the Oreo update is pushed by ATT will I still get it or do I need to revert back the actual ATT firmware?
So you are currently running the U1 XAA firmware?
I'm on the N950U1 US Unlocked. My carrier is ATT. My phone is not factory unlocked just flashed.
Ok, unlocked or not doesn't matter. It's the firmware you're running. If you're on the U1 firmware, then you will get the Oreo U1 update via OTA when it's pushed by Samsung (Not Att) to the other U1 phones.
Ill put a screen shot so you can see. I feel like I'm wrong.
Ok. So being on this firmware even though I bought the phone at ATT I will have to wait for Samsung to push the update? If that's the case I guess Ill see it in a few months from now lol.
Exactly. But I have a feeling it will be pushed approximately the same time as the carrier firmwares.
I'm guessing that ALL S8/S8+/Note8 will have Oreo BEFORE S9/S9+ reach it's first preorder customer.
Samsung has been pushing fairly hard on updates for s8/s8+/note8 on all fronts since beginning of the year and it would just be to embarrassing for the to release the s9 line without the Note getting it before
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.
I have an unlocked Pixel 5 that I'm using on Verizon. I'm updated to the November .003 firmware, but I (and a few others) have been getting update notifications. I noticed that there is an .002 firmware for Verizon and Verizon MVNO's; I'm wondering if anyone happens to be running this firmware, and whether you've noticed any difference.
I've got an unlocked P5 on Verizon with .002. I normally flash the Verizon images if they are available. Never thought about it otherwise to be honest. No problems since I flashed it last week.
I already was on A12 and got the .002.A1 Verizon update yesterday. Before, I was on the .003 build and I have nothing to do with Verizon. Though, everything seems to work normal.
I'm running the Verizon firmware on an unlocked device
I got the Verizon firmware on my device recently by accident. Still reboots randomly.
Anyone seen or have the new U1 Firmware G998U1UEU5BULH?
None of the baseband 5 firmware's have been posted yet. I'm still waiting for something to come up cause mine is stuck in a boot loop from when I tried to downgrade to 4AUIP cause I didn't know my phone updated in the background to the new baseband.
I now have a brick until a 5xxxx firmware is posted. However, 5CVAx is rumored for February 9th, but I've still been checking Frija every morning haha
The OTA's have been around for about a week now, my AT&T S21 Ultra have received it from BULE -> BULH. However, I haven't seen a standalone anywhere.
I was thinking it was probably only available via OTA right now. I am wanting to flash my VZW to U1 firmware, but I have already been bumped to the #5 BL. I will wait patiently until it appears.
I have BULH on my u1 s21 ultra with a t-mobile sim card in it. I got it about a week ago, I really haven't noticed much of a difference.
I'm with VZW and on BULJ
I'm on BULJ as well, but I like the U1 Firmware better to be honest. Just waiting on it to be posted somewhere so I can flash the U1 on my Ultra.
FYI...it's out today!
