G955USQU1AQGA - July 21st firmware update - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discus

Contains the July 1st security patch.

Why always only T-Mobile users get all these updates?
My U1 even didn't get the previous update.

Why u mad bro?

I'm still on the firmware that came with the phone at launch. Is there any good reason to update?

Performance improvements, security patches, ui improvements and that's just naming a few.
Sent from my SM-G955U1 using XDA-Developers Legacy app

Is there some form of semi-official changelog for these updates?

I am still on the firmware that came with the phone. My girlfriend has done all the updates. Aside from the security patches (which may prevent me from rooting if anyone ever finds an exploit) I see absolutely zero "performance or UI improvement" after these updates. These words are thrown around so loosely and casually by the oems that they have completely lost their meanings. So when Samsung blocks the ability to remap the bixby button they call it UI improvement and so on. So, I'm sticking with the original firmware until a meaningful update comes along or someone can quantify for me better why the current updates are necessary.

930U Android Security Patch Level

I just flashed the unlocked 930U ROM on my Verizon S7. I notice that the Android Security Level is all the way back to May. Is there any way to force an update of this?
Go to Korea and kidnap the team responsible for updating that rom. Then, force them to build a rom with the newest security patch. Easy as pie...

LMAO no no no I meant to catch up to whatever the newest is. Maybe my understanding is wrong, but I thought that the security updates were pushed out separate from the actual ROM update itself.

They haven't had any so no way to get them.
May is the latest patch date for the 930u. I've been checking daily for an update. I even have the Samsung Smart Switch app installed on my PC looking for the updates for the phone. I'm not sure if the updates are going to come OTA or if they will be a PC download only. It would be nice to get one!

I just did my daily update check and a 180mb update downloaded and is installing now. Nothing exciting in the changelog. Improved stability of the Dial??? Security updates, etc.
The update size is 163.86MB for me

No, I flashed PG5 and PG9 from "full" FW with ODIN.

I'm seeing software update 12/10/17

Guys I just noticed my phone downloading the software update. When I click on it it doesn't give my any info of what it is. As soon as it finishes the download I'll followup.
Does anyone know if LG pushed out an update for unlocked v20 and if so is it Oreo or just 7.1.1
I hope it's Oreo ?
But honestly I hope it's a good functioning update.
LG has a lot to improve.
I'll followup.
Ok so that update is the security update only.
Not any os update as I hoped....?, Not even 7.1.1
LG thank you ... I have made up my mind.
.... Don't think I'll be sticking with LG for my next phone. ?
What model, and what is the version number now?

US996 unlocked (non-US Cellular) version security update
My LG V20 US996 unlocked phone now shows a security update available. The update is labeled "US99610n".
It's still on 7.0. A year since the last update and this is all we get.

If you can't afford one then make the best of the v20 instead of complaining about updates.
Before I apply the update, my biggest questions are:
- What's the Changelog?
- Does this fix the Dirty Cow vulnerability that allow us to root?

I'm with you on that. Sent an email to LG a few weeks ago stating just that. It took them a whole year for a security update on my US996.

If I'm going to get a phone that isn't well supported for updates but has true functionality, I'll stick with Galaxy note series ....
Google pixel unless they produce a note type stylus I'll pass although I did think about it.
Pixel maybe... Don't know. Let's see if it's discounted.
I think HTC is the only manufacture that started to be good with updates with their later flagship phones. I would even consider HTC before I consider LG again for phones.
Are LG V20 US996 unlocked phones still rootable after the US99610n update?
Would someone who has aleady accepted the newest update be so kind as to check and post the current ARB on their phone?

1. Security update to one of the November patch sets.
2. This is the us996 unlocked that can be bootloader unlocked through LGs website and never needed dirtycow. AFAIK LGs unlocking processes should work fine. If for whatever reason you wanted to use dirtycow anyway its still possible to revert to the previous version since they didn't increment arb.

Hi,
In particular, I wanted to know if this update includes fixes for the KRACK and blueborne vulnerabilities. Do you know where I could find a changelog?
Also, if I do the OTA update do you know if it's going to wipe out TWRP? If so, I might what to wait for a zip file that I can install with TWRP from dimm0k or McNutnut:

it includes those fixes since its at Nov 6 security patch ( Nov 6 exactly has the KRACK fix, while blueborne was fixed in the September patch). I expect taking the ota will wipe twrp however.

Rather not bite. I'll wait until I see what Sony's next move is. I wouldn't give in on the missing headphone jack on any phone.

Mine is a US Unlocked 9960, purchased online.. After today's security update (and researching what an ARB is, and how to access it) my ARB (Anti Rollback Version) number remains 0.

I agree, missing headphone jack is also a deal breaker for me.
For those who have rooted US996's, this thread has links to TWRP flashable images and instructions on how to install them which won't overwrite the the recovery partition as an OTA might do:

This is interesting. I just looked and the security update is from back in Aug. I think the change list is the same as all the others that have been out already.
The 810 has the same update with different build number. I'm thinking that these are just late updates for that country. They were behind everyone else.
I don't see any reason we need it. But I could be wrong.
Edit
This is China's first Nougat Rom. They've been on Marshmallow til now. I think it was the last to get Nougat.

Does this patch solve the deep sleep problem ?

Help me, I'm special

Does anyone have a reasonable explanation as to why one isnt getting certain updates?
The only available update I have is the December 2017 one, but afaik that one is riddled with bugs, and I don't rly feel like risking it. The January never popped up, yet alone february and march one. I've tried all those possible "tricks" with Google Services, from data clean up, signing up for the beta program, factory reset; nothing worked.
I've been told by the support to wait for the batches to arrive; 3 times now.. On the Mi Forums I've been told to sacrifice goats to Chthulu.
My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.
Download and flash the fastboot ROM by Mi Flash Tool.

You are probably on nougat. You need to update to the december Version (oreo preparation) and then you can update to march from there.
The OTA updates are incremental updates from a specific firmware version so you have to go through the sequence of all the updates. You can't just jump over several in one go.

Is there no one who has the newest t-mobile March update in zip form

I'm unable to update my phone for whatever reason, it still says January 1 and I'm up to date. I'm fully stock and have looked all over here and the Internet with lots of international 9.0.13 zips or tmobile 9.0.3. I'm looking to update manually but need the zip, does anyone have it, the newest one?
When my wife comes home I will check her phone if there is an update I was unaware that t mobile released an update. Where did you find out about an t mobile update? The one plus update is about a week old or so in official channels so t mobile should be out in a couple weeks if they stay on task. The quarter #2 release has till the end of June to be considered on time since the updates are quarterly.
Thanks for the reply.
I found this on Tmobile site but no link.

Your build number seems to match the newest from that link you sent. 217 seems to be the newest from your screenshot. You must remember that one plus uses different number schemes than t mobile. T mobile also has January security patch and not the newest security patch. That you see in beta and custom ROMs.
You are right, weird it still says January and I haven't gotten an update in a while

Security patch is from January the update came a few weeks ago. In the release notes you will notice no mention of new security patch as it was still beta when the update came. Security patches are not always the newest and is part of the main reason people use custom or international ROMs phone carriers across the globe are slow at updated security since that is not their focus.
That is very confusing. Thank you for the help. I take it I'm not the only one.

The latest t mobile security patch is January. And yes you are the only one besides my wife using the t mobile ROM.
Lol, I had the international Rom, pixelfy, and dragon I think it was called but none had service as good as the stock T-Mobile rom. Download speeds and radios seem to work better with stock, and I'm using it as my work phone so I have to be clean, no root. I have the note 9 for my personnel.
