OTA received for US unlocked s8+ - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Received Oreo OTA with march security update. Anyone else got it?

I don't believe that's Oreo. I have an unlocked S8+. I got the OTA a couple days ago; the size is 1353.14 MB.
I've read nothing but negative things about this OTA. I'm not going to install it, but then what happens to security updates that come after this?

If you say so, but this is my Oreo notification. Notice it says it's the Oreo update, which the screenshot of the first poster's does not, and it is a much larger download:

Its Oreo, look at the version number, it's the same. The size varies, I was upgrading from oreo beta to full oreo. I believe you are updating from nougat, that why your download size is much bigger.

Yes; that makes sense. Are you having any of the many problems people are posting? I still haven't installed it yet.

Battery life definitely took a hit for me but with all the pros, I recommend updating.

Just got an OTA on Verizon (10 July).

Anyone install yet? I'm not about to take it unless it has some major improvements.

I would advise against it, if you want root, and possible bootloader unlock. It may not cause any issues, but why risk it?
Did you get the one that bumped you up to 11A yet? And how big does it say the file is?
I got an update on sprint that I'm passing up on myself until I see more about it

I don't know what version it is because I haven't installed it.

What version are you on now? If you are on 11A and getting an update, it is a new one.
I know it could be meaningless because they could be pushing it out in waves, but I am on 11A and an update check shows there is nothing out there.
Got the update last night.never took it though..my build #right now on sprint is lmy47d....guys do NOT update until root has been pushed out to us..could be nothing but then again why chance it...

Could someone please explain to me what being on 11A means? I don't recall if this is the update that disabled downgrading or not, if so that sucks.

No duh Sherlock .
I keep refreshing the Nexus factory image page to see when the time stamp changes.... I don't have patience to wait for an OTA lol. It's just a really likely rumor that it will be released today though. Not a whole lot based on actual facts.
www.android.com According to this website it's already here. Now we just have to wait for factory images.
If one manually flashes the factory image, will that process properly repartition the drive so that it'll be able to take advantage of Seamless Updates?

No. That won't happen however you do it; I believe seamless updates will only work with new devices designed specifically to make use of it.

Can you upload the OTA or something?
FYI, you have to be running Preview N and enrolled in the link below to get the update. I enrolled my device and the update came in instantly.

thx man that did the trick got it too

Got an official security update after 1.5 years.

This morning, I turned it on and found that there was a security update. I thought Samsung had completely abandoned it and was going to disable automatic update check.
Perhaps I hoped too much. I was hoping that the version would go up from 5.0.2 to 5.1, but the version remained the same. The only changes I have found are
1. Security Patch Level is now 2016-11-01
2. System Panel does not show process names any more.
Well, at least they have not completely abandoned it yet.... or have they?
No update here, but if true, that's quite a positive surprise!

Not complaining too much as battery life is still amazing on stock.

I love my pro but I am very skeptical about an update of any sort at this date

I just got an OTA update on March 19th, 2017. Bestill my heart...
Software updated P905VVRSBPL1
Android 5.1.1
^Me too. 63,55 MB! Seems to be a security patch.
My two tablets just received about 60MB updates. Installing now

Hello how you get this update on my lte p905,i'm still on 5.02
The security update doesn't change the Android version. Try Smart Switch or the sammobile website!

I can't download it from mi.com. Where can I get it?
http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
There's latest global dev which is supposed to be Oreo version, but I guess they took it down from main download site for a reason
I also received the notification, but I will not update it. There are many bug reports in this version.
Is there anything for those who dont want to unlock the bootloader?
Who updated it can someone share ???

I got the update from the app. I'm asking for suggestion should update or not?
This update according to the forum of MIUI, brings too many bug, so they recommend noo update ..
regards,
JC
I would not recommend the update.
There are many current complaints about it, some of them pretty serious - soft Brick - and they are consistent.
Wait for Xiaomi to address this.
This is not the same "beta stable" that was released the 12 of Feb, this is just a bit more polished... Anyway for those who want to have the bootloader locked and an xiaomi rom, stick to developer version, they are more stable than the stable version...
Here's the full changelog.
I still haven't installed though....
NFC bugs
Please upvote
Code:
en.miui.com/thread-1902264-1-1.html
on MIUI forum this if you encountered problems with Google Pay after updating to 9.2.3.0
Alright....I lasted 24hrs.
I updated.
Annnnnd....can I just say that it is noticeably faster opening apps?
Also the screen sensitivity had been increased.
So, I'll stick with it and let you know if I have problems.

Just updated and running smooth for now.
No issues found, connectivity working as normal, phone is fast...
Regards,
Last night when I checked there was only China Stable and China Developer roms on miui site, now it has Globals too. Looks like thats a true stable but with all that bugs reported...
After update, I can't install TWRP properly (permanently) and TWRP has no access to SD.

Hi, I have several problems with this new update. NFC pay doesn't work anymore, no sounds for email, emails notifications are shown twice, notification from running background apps can not hide anymore (VLC, Messenger,etc). All other things are ok
Will the bootloader relock if I update from OTA ?

Oreo update!

https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-android-oreo-uk-unlocked/
Oreo is being pushed out in the UK, to unlocked phones (BTU, im pretty sure) the past day, is it possible for us to flash one of their firmwares on our phones? Or we have to wait for the update to roll out here?

The model that is being updated is the sm-g935f. It runs on a Exynos processor, but your sm-g935v runs on a snapdragon processor. Unfortunately, we have to wait.

My G935V got the update notification yesterday. You may want to try a force update to see if it will send you the oreo update.
NM it was just that 7.0 patch sorry if i got people excited, the google results were saying oreo.
