Hello, yesterday I got notification about new update (2.38617.6) and I wondered If anyone had installed the update and would like to share some info about it as the changelod is quite vague. Are there any new things, features or vast improvements? The update is quite large.

Judging by the "3" in the series of numbers this would be a significant update. I would definitely update a stock rom with this. This hasn't been posted yet on the HTC US website yet. I have to wait for that since I am on a custom rom.
Nothing noticeable @ changes... Mostly security update Im assuming

Hallo guys & gals, I wanted to ask you guys about monthly Security Patches as Google has made bound all the OEMs to release monthly security patches for their devices. In this regard most of the devices are getting monthly or at least once in a couple of months but my Honor-6x is not getting any OTA update since April 2017.
Do you guys have any idea or does any body have any Honor 6x with a more recent security update patch?

Honor 6X is getting updated to latest patches every month, currently it's in August Patch 2017...!!!

Every month lol. The best Joke i have read.
Well, it depends on the region, US models are rarely updated (unlike EU and Indian variants)
I saw in your signature that your phone model is BLN-21. Could you check if your build ends with B360? If yes, an update should come out soon but meanwhile you should be able to force it, by going on system update > tap on the 3 dots in the upper right corner > download latest update (if the option isn't there you cannot force it yet)
As you can see in these screenshots, in the 1st system update says that there aren't updates; in the 2nd, the option mentioned above is the first of the list, and finally in the 3rd i can download the update
Whoops i forgot the third screenshot, here it is
Well guys as you can see in my shared screen shot my device is on B361 of update level and the region is actual Pakistan which falls under middle east region. Now I actually created the thread to make it sure, whether my region is getting updates or not?
And thanks, @RedSkull23, I have tried your suggestion but as you see my device is already on B361.
I think my real problem is the update via firmware finder, and that's why my device isn't getting OTA updates. As the below screen shot reveals my device is on B361 but the security patch is 5 April 2017, and it is the time when this update was released and I updated my device through FF, since than I have tried a lot but I couldn't get any OTA update.

When I still had my 6x, the patch would come about 10-15 days after Google released it. Couldn't say it's timely, but it indeed come monthly.
Btw, I have a Chinese model 6x.
Monthly in China ? And others can go to hell ?
I had to push B365 after about 3 months after B360. Others don't get it at all.

Can you check or, do you remember if previous build number matches with the number of your actual build, or if not? If they doesn't match, maybe the FF update you did has moved you on a different build number, and so your software update won't find nothing because that's the latest package of your ACTUAL build, instead of the previous. Personally, i get confused every time that i finish to speak about FF updates because with all that packages stored and selectable, the number of possibilities that could provoke an issue are too much to be hold in mind at the same time
You are absolutely right FF has its very serious pros & cons. And yes, I think I remember the previous build number of my device, it was B360 and I did a full package download and dload upgrade on my device, and I also remember I was too much enthusiastic to find a sulotuion for the FM radio problem, yet in vain.

If update size is 200-300 mb then no, it will have the twrp recovery. Make sure you have stock recovery before trying OTA update

My wife has an unlocked N920A note 5 that she uses with Ting. While investigating some unrelated battery issues she was suffering from (a game she played was consuming battery in the background) I noticed her last security patch was listed as Oct 2016. The software update button says she's at the most current, but she doesn't have an AT&T sim in the phone so I don't know if that's actually checking. I tried updating via Samsung's smart connect but that claims her phone is up to date as well. Oct 2016 seems rather old for security patches though; sadly I'm largely in the dark when it comes to flashes/modding phones. I've seen the threads here describing update steps, but the baseband version is listed N920AUCS3CPJ1 which seems to be an even earlier baseband version than any update guide I've found starts with. Is there anyway she can update her phone further, officially or otherwise? Would an AT&T sim possibly help, or is Oct 2016 actually the last security update the N920As received?

I have the same problem, but the last update on mine is Aug 1, 2017! I just found this site from ATT and the latest update is July 2, 2018?!!
I reinstall smart switch twice but still says I have the latest update?.
Google ( Software update for the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 (N920A) ) and click the first link from att and you will what's the latest update.
You would be the first person around here to have seen a device with an intact PJ1 Bootloader though. Old Post, but do you still have it? All the downloadable versions I ever heard of came with a corupted BL so it won't flash.
Is it possible to upgrade to nougat with a N920AUCS3CPJ1 device running marshmallow?
new Firmware 47.2.A.4.41 for Xperia™ XZ1 Compact (G8441)
I can't find any changelog. Where can I find it?

How should he if there is none? It's a ~350mb update, that's usually just a security update with maybe some bugfixes.
So did it OTA anywhere?

Customized CH did, indeed.
Silly question : Would an update, like this one, need to update with previous versions first before upgrading to this one ? I'm asking this because here in the UK, I'm still with the Customized UK 47.1.A.16.20. And I've never had any Pie update available displayed on my phone.
Several versions have been dispatched to other zones in the world, including several for different UK providers but then hang in the middle of the roll out. Plus in the Support > Software section of my G8441, it says in the "Next Android version" sub section : "No new Android version planned yet".
It looks weird, isn't? Not to mention after Sony started to roll out their very first Pie firmware for the G8441, my Xperia Companion said a new Software version was available, with no description, no firmware version number, and when trying to download it, Xperia companion crashed and needed to restart. Few hours later, when opening it again, the 'New Software' notification disappeared. Since then my phone displays "No new Android version planned yet".
Is this related ?
Thanks in advance, and sorry for the half off-topic...
I too have the customized UK phone, and nothing here either
Does someone know which .sin files to exclude if I want to install the new firmware (I already have Pie) with newflasher but want to keep my existing settings, apps and data?
I know that persist*.sin should be excluded to avoid losing android assets keys and userdata*.sin also I guess by the name. Anything else?
I have an unlocked bootloader with DRM keys backed up and restored with Customized CH 47.2.A.2.33 installed. I also have flashed the secd patch so the phone offers OTA update, but I know it won't work with the bootloader unlocked.
Came OTA in Switzerland. Update worked like a charm and I don't see any changes except for December security patch.

Updates don't work like that. If you have the CH ROM, you'll get the OTA for that. If you have UK rom, you'll get the UK rom update regadless of the place you are in.
You can manually flash a different rom customization (uk, ch, nordic etc) and then het updates for that one. I don't know if there are some disadvantages doing that though, as some customizations might have specifoc stuff for some countries / carriers.

I do have CH. I flashed CH manually a long time ago, as I was not getting any updates (missed several months) on my DE. I have gotten many regular OTAs since and did a few resets. But I did not get any of the Pie versions. I thought maybe it is actual location...
I'm in the UK boat, I've been a Sony user since the Xperia arc and I've certainly had some long waits for software updates but I can't remember seeing so many versions released without the UK sim free getting any of them. Can't see my next phone being Sony now.

From what I am deducting all around the web (Sony forums, XDA, 4pda) just keep Oreo and don't bother seeing the number 9 instead of the 8 in the about section of your phone.
I had the OTA update notification for a few weeks, neved installed and eventually it disappeared because Sony has shut down the updates as of Pie bugs reported in their forums.
I am still on latest Oreo and I am going to keep it until I see a totally polished Pie, and it will take months!
Apart from slowmo 960fps in FullHD I truly do not see any reason to update, because the cons are more than pros.
Sure, security patches will be up to date, but does anyone feel the difference having a few month outdated patches? The security is in the hands of the user.

I just remove all. . Ta files and IF you want to keep like it was dont Flash userdata or appslog..

They are in the early days for Android 9 Pie. And Sony is one of the first companies to release pie updates. It's buggy, which is the usual after updating to a new major android version. The previous version 47.2.A.2.33 was not even completely rolled out before this current version started rolling out. I'm sure the usual rollout schedule will continue as the software matures.
@pntballer505 reports getting the .037.A1 OTA on Verizon at post #138.

Several reports of the actual Verizon .036.A1 OTA, starting with @stevek216 at post #126.

Checking for the software update
[Please check your device to see if you already have the latest software installed. Verify your Build number matches the official build by checking Settings -> About phone -> Build number. See section below]
After you complete the phone setup, the software update automatically downloads silently in the background. After the download completes, it will prompt you to reboot the phone. In case the software update is not seen, follow the instructions below:
Go to Settings -> System -> System update -> Check for update
Install the software update
Depending on your network connection speed and amount of apps involved, this will take about 25-50 minutes
Reboot the device after taking the update
Updating your apps
Many of the key apps have new features and improvements for Pixel 6. Please check to make sure that your apps are up to date by going to Play Store -> Your Account Icon -> Manage apps & device -> Update all.
Timing
Due to deployment timelines and staged rollouts, some updates may not be available until 10/28.
Software update Build number
After the software update, your device software version (Settings -> About phone -> Build number) will be be one of the following:
SD1A.210817.036
SD1A.210817.036.A8 (Verizon customers)

My P6 Pro still can't find the update
Supposedly the update should fix my fingerprint reading issues, so I'm sorta stoked to see that one comin' rather sooner than late.
Any way to force it? Stil no factory images/OTA, so I'm out of options.
No update here yet either (Google Store Unlocked on the Verizon network).

No changelog yet that I am aware of, only reports of people claiming that after the update you have to re-learn the fingerprint scanner and then it supposedly works better.
