Thanks dxtian for the information!
Do you or anyone that have received the latest 8.5 update, knows what's new or if there are any enhancements or changes?

This update is only 1/3 the size of the last ones.
Can someone post the link to the update file? I'm not getting the update.
Update Instal ?
I think even though it's something that will never happen, because the BLU R1-HD has been discontinued and BLU does not update its phones so often, we would all have liked this update to be the promised Android-7.0 Nougat!
But unfortunately this New Version 8.5 archive only includes security patches (Until 5 junio, 2017), maybe that's why the size is only 134.53MB!

I do not have the update notification. I even keep checking manually, and keep getting
"Your device's software is currently up to date"

Same here. This update has apparently been out since the 13th. Why is it taking so long to roll out?
As I currently have 6 (six) BLU R1-HD cellphones and they all received the latest 8.5 update yesterday, it seems very strange that some had not received it yet.
Interestingly, although my 6 BLU R1-HDs were purchashed on different dates: 2 when the cellphone came out, 2 about six months ago and 2 last month, as I said before, they all received the update at the same time!
So, I am starting to believe that maybe BLU has temporarily stopped the v8.5 update, or is releasing it very slowly.
No one can get the update link for us unfortunate ones?

So I was about to go back to either 6.6 or 7.4.2 to see what update is offered. But before i do. What version were on before the update notice came?
I went ahead and reinstalled 7.4.2 and checked for updates. I was offered V8.4
so blu maybe has paused the update for some reason,

I have a similar issue, despite the fact that my Xperia X Compact is not customized.
I received all the past updates (the last in October, received on 9 October), but the last update (from 9 November) for me is not available yet.
if I check for new updates, the message say that "your phone is updated" is regular? Maybe Sony didn't released yet November update for the Italian firmware? I also tried by using Xperia Companion software, but the phone still result updated, but I still have the build 34.A.0.238 from October.
I have to patiently wait?

No at all, but it is cleaner than italian firmware in fact russian firmware is 40/45 MB smaller. It's the second day, and I can say It's very good, no problems.

The last update I received was the August 1st patch. Is the unlocked version just being overlooked, or am I not receiving new updates?
I haven't gotten any updates either.

The last update to the u1 devices is AQH3. I have no idea why they havent updated.
Your options are do nothing, install a regular G950U rom and live with horrible carrier bloat and a package disabler, or root and run something debloated (done yourself or use a rom) and have 80% battery.

Just got an update today. It's funny, because a couple of days ago I reached out to Samsung of America, but didn't hear back. So I reached out to several Android reporting sites, and then all of a sudden we get an update.

try to check the updates manually, at least that's what i did
Yep, checked manually. Nothing.
I had an issue getting updates when I used Odin to install unlocked fw and didn't wipe afterwards. Is that the case here?
You can always go to Updato.com and search for G950U1 to dl and install from there.
I received the November security patch update last night as well.
installed the update on my s8+ while having substratum layers applied. stupid system keeps crashing, even on safe mode. had to restore to factory settings.

Unlocked models are the last to get update, best case scenario month from now, worst up to three monts, i got the september security patch on 28th december and AQL1 mid january.
All I have is the December update.
I haven't got the August update yet! My phone is still running on the May 1, 2018 security patch (15.2018.1805.310). Just to mention I haven't rooted my phone, just enabled camera2 API using adb.

Is it working that way, to sum all the updates to one OTA update if you missed one or more updates ?

From what I saw, yes. The users that skip an update get a much larger ota update later than what a regularly updated user would get.

yah, i got that (224.0 MB) previously im on oct security patch v9.6.14.0
and after the patch i got v9.6.16.0
nothing noticed what have change in real
just security patch i think
Well, this should be true November update then, with some fixes, patches and changes in the system.
@twentyfourinc , the security patch updates are about 100mb, everything above has some changes for phone itself.
I just got v9.6.16 after the update, I think it's just the November security patch, mine was 300mb, but I was on June security patch before
The security patch updates are about 100mb is correct...
