Samsung put a stop on updates after finding that a lot of users were having issues with the Dec patch. They just started rolling out updates today. I m also on Verizon and unlocked, still on Nov patch.
[Update: Restarted] Samsung appears to have paused One UI 4.0 rollout for all devices
Samsung appears to have halted or paused the ongoing One UI 4.0 rollout for all Galaxy devices after problems and bugs plagued users.

Glad I was able to help. What I do at every update is to clear cache partition and fix apps in the bootloader menu.

[Q] Has froyo been released for T-Mobile UK users???

Hey guys, my friend has a T-Mobile locked Galaxy S (which he doesn't want to unlock) and he is still on 2.1, I could've sworn froyo had been released but he is saying kies is showing that no update is available, I never had this issue when I used to have my galaxy s, being unlocked meant I was always using the latest fw's. Just looking for some clarification on this issue, thanks in advance. On an unrelated note I will be rejoining android tomorrow or Tuesday, I have now sold my iPhone 4 in favour of the desire HD. P.S can a mod please delete my other thread titled "Has group been released for T-Mobile UK users?" as my stupid iPhone 4 renamed froyo to group, thanks.
Yes it has.
http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/discussions/index?page=forums&topic=80103803112d158012cbdd098960077e2
He may need to update to the latest Kies to get it "Kies 2"
If he cannot then details of his SGS's region and current software would be useful to get an answer.

How to update from U6EQC9 to U6EQCF?

At some point I got tired of waiting for ATT update to Nougat and updated to U6EQC9. But then official update came out, straight to U6EQCF. So now, even though there is a new update available from ATT, I can't do it since I am on an earlier version. Could you guys please help - how I can update from U6EQC9 to U6EQCF, so that my phone could start picking up ATT updates from now on?
The more details the better, please, as I am really not that sophisticated in phone updates.
Really appreciate any advice!

Im on retin (Retail India) and still no sign of update. Update comes to Moto Z (2016) & Moto Z2F at the same time..
Only time worth taken a OTA is if it gets a upgrade to Pie..I'm not upgrading from my DU 8.1 until then..
Don't need Pie, I really like oreo. But there is no much difference. So, let Pie come to us. Few bug fixes here and there. But maybe better wait for possible 9.0.1. We will see what we see.

Pie also don't concern me specially when im going to lose the themes:crying: My Major concerns are the bugs which are lying here and there , such as no audio offloading (16bit & 24bit and video) which makes music comes like a crap , no EQ apps can be used due to that. Bug in headphone icon indicator in status bar which doesn't show proper icon for headset with mic (eg.Apple Earpods)
I've been using Los 16 for a few days now and Pie is a huge difference!
Even the fonts have changed for the better. I can't go back to Oreo now. Pie is so much better!

I am in Italy with international model and I got the update message (so in Europe there is the update), downloaded the package but it says that an error occurred and I can't update. I think it's due because my phone is rooted. What I can't understand is that Magisk is completely hided and safety net passed, maybe someone can help me?
Thanks

You're rooted. The updater checks the hash of the system, boot, and OEM partitions, if they've been edited the hash will be different and fail the OTA. You would need to flash your system, boot and OEM images from a flash all to take the ota
I just got the update, Sprint, US. The device isnt activated though, trying to fix that.

Oreo Release Thread

Finally this has arrived for RETGB!
Currently running the install and will let you know how this goes.
Where else has had this released?
Who is still waiting?
What is the verdict, worthwhile keeping at stock or see what good ROMS will come from this?

Is that possible without root?
Official answer from the German support via email: There have been bugs in the release and the roll out has been stopped.

This is ridiculous. No more Lenovorola from me. Everyone's got Oreo and some phones from other brands have even gone to Pie, but reteu is still behind. Tragic support compared to when it was owned by Google (my XT1032 got updated before the Nexus phones of the time).

Yeah. This is oddly funny. I said no more Motorola after the Atrix fiasco (Android 2.3...... ICS was never released, they promised it... and then the Testing image got leaked.....)
Yet, I've owned another Moto phone, which won't have Android 8.1. But this phone is still good with Nougat. Can't complain.
Got a Nexus 5x from google. New. Turns out it had a hardware failure on all models just a year after the release.
Got a Nexus 4. After a year of usage, just upgraded to Lollipop. Phone started rebooting on its own randomly. Some users have this issue as well.
I don't believe on the manufacturers anymore. My next phone will be a Nokia (and I'll fail for sure)

The Lenovo forums for the 5GS and the 5GS+ are full of VERY annoyed reports on WiFi loss problems after upgrading to 8.1 - so far, these obviously all relate to non-RETEU update channels. Lenovo apparently never officially reacted to these complaints, but several people there seem to have dumped their 5GS/+ phones after the update out of frustration.
So, do those of you who already have updated to 8.1 see any problems with WiFi connections dropping (while connected to a 4G network)? The 'cure' for that seemed to be to disable 4G connections...
What with battery life after the update?
Thanks! Markus68
Can not test this for you, because I have no 4G Network, only 3G.

Still on May update?

I'm just curious if there are any other N960W users that can confirm that they're also still on the May update on Telus. I have yet to receive the June or July update at all.
Anyone else?
jd14771 said:
i don't have your phone, however, samfirmware shows there at least being the June update available., with the security patch showing as:

https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note9/firmware/SM-N960W/TLS/download/N960WVLU1CSE3/275532/
If you search "baseband version" in settings, does "N960WVLU1CSE3" match with your phones version? if so you are on the latest at the moment as far as i can see.

Thank you for the reply, that baseband version matches, so I guess I am on the latest build available after all.

yeah, i had similar questions, and it seems that the security version is usualy a month or two behind the builds release date. hence the june update with may security patch.

I am on SM-N960F, international Eyxnos based version in UK which is different to your model, that said the latest build over here has the latest security update.

Hi. I am with Rogers and have the same model as you. Rogers will have an update at the end of July and I am pretty sure you will too. It will be the July update but I do not know if it will include the camera night mode which is what I really want.
BTW, I am also just on the May 1 update
jd14771 said:
since you have the snapdragon variant, then the chances of getting night mode is .1%. only exynos has gotten camera night mode so far.

The update actually just happened now on Rogers - over 700 MB - and it includes night mode.
Korean Exynos variant here (KOO), I also still have the May update only. Tried all kinds of crazy stuff to get the camera night mode and latest security update to no avail. Samsung sucks.

same here, n960n only that im in (SKC) and on april , which by the way is quite bad, you would think samsung will update those models first seeing that its for their home market but nope.
i thought maybe samsung knows we are outside korea but when i check sammobile and other web pages it doesnt show new updates.
i really didnt want to root but this might make me to root and flash a rom with latest updates, but first i have to visit samsung service center to check my camera module.
Same here, verizon update last night. Includes night mode. Also includes typo...lol
just got the update with night mode and july security - n960n.
Still on the June update. Im on sprint
Sorry for going off topic here, I see you "W" guys updated the firmware - any battery life hit on Canadian N9? I am on Koodo and still on Oreo, scared to upgrade after reading many complaints about the battery life issues.
Thanks
Just got an update from at&t 882mb
