My Note 2 has been updated to 4.1.2 last month. And this morning it got another update from AT&T. After the update I checked the version number, it's still 4.1.2. Don't know what's going on. Anyone else has this experience? I played around and didn't notice any difference in appearance or performance.

I jsut got the same thing...Note sure what it does of If i should accept it.
I got one too but I'm running SkyNote so I'm not sure if I should accept either..
Latest OTA update from ATT is MA4. Updated kernel which includes a security patch for the exploit issue. In the past, you had to be completely stock to successfully take the update (stock rom/recovery).

I got it thanks. There's a mention on the other forum that this is a security patch for the chip.
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?

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

8.1.0 (OPM4.171019.015.A1, Apr 2018, Telus and Koodo Only
This image appeared this morning online. I was stuck with this image from TELUS/KOODO because it was stuck on April 1st update and in my research, it seems it didn't contain any of the hotfixes for the Pixel phone. Those hotfixes are in the April 5th security update per the bulletin boards..
Now, does anyone have more information because I contacted Telus and I had no answers from them, they just told me they using April 1st only because April 5th was too "customized".
Secondly, if I'm using OPM2.171019.029, will I still receive TELUS OTA? Should I sideload/flash the image. I had to use OPM2 to fix this with Reference A-67593274 (The issue where 4 cores stays at full power and droids the battery).
Hopes we can more about it here. I was able to successfully revert back to march 2018 and update to OPM2 when I was on OPM4 though!

The newly issued April version is made for TELUS/KOODO customers. The first April image Google issued is for all other carriers.
Probably radio changes made in the TELUS/KOODO version and it might not even work outside Canada. Probably the other specs
are the same.

Yeah but I wish to know if it includes the hotfixes for the special koodo/Telus image
Currently OPM2 works flawlessly on Telus. I even got VoLTE working properly
As anyone received an update to May's security patch? Even Samsung devices are more up to date, I thought by getting a Pixel this would be guaranteed... It seems there are issues with updates for this phone, I mean, pulling this device from the beta program, for the Android Q and no updates so far, strange...
Would like to see if anyone knows what could be causing this delay.
Yes we all know. June you'll get everything. Probably on the 3rd. It's been announced over and over. Google search for Pixel 3a security update shows this:
https://9to5google.com/2019/05/10/pixel-3a-security-patch-old/
You could have done that yourself in less time it took to post this.
Without waiting until June when they issue patches for this device, the only way to update your security level at this time is by manually flashing the Q beta from the full factory images (you can only do this if your device is bootloader-unlocked).
Otherwise, as the other user stated, updates will start in June, including Q beta OTA enrollment.
Have yet to receive July Security update on S21FE US unlocked version. Anyone else not receive?
Hi sorry to hear. It appears a few countries still lagging behind unfortunately. I'm in Australia and still on May security here...

Even sorrier to hear that! Wow. It's like Sammie kinda lost interest in this phone for some of us.
Updates via OTA have always been hit or miss on Samsung devices so it's not a case of Samsung losing interest.

I have always received timely security updates on Samsung devices here in the US so this is out of the ordinary for me. Please don't generalize.

I'm gonna have to generalize because US phones received the July update since July 14 according to their official documentation

That's still a generalization since it's not specific to me!
There is a July update, I already have it. It was delayed though. It usually comes to me at the middle of the month, now it came on the 26th, July. Still in time though.
It depends on what model you have. I have the snapdragon and I think it gets it first, as predominantly where this device is sold, it is the snapdragon version.

This is NOT country specific, mind you. But model specific. I'm in the EU and the same applies to me, except I have the snapdragon version, as with the FE series Samsung finally made it Snapdragon.
I usually get the update at the middle of the month,but this time,a week later, on the 26th of july

Been out for a long time. You can download the firmware and manually update at any time, if you haven't gotten the OTA yet
I have noticed for me who is in South Africa. My security updates generally is a month late or so. Like the June Update I only received around the 25th of July. So I should probably get the July update closer to the end of this month.
Sammobile is a bit behind on updates for my model. so I get the OTA first then it updates on the site.
Unless there is another site a person can download from

SamFW.com is faster than SamMobile, and puts up firmware immediately when it's released
Hello!
I think the fastest to download the latest firmware is Frija

I've seen a couple of posts here in xda and in reddit where someone mentions having downloaded firmware from samfw.com and getting errors with them (something along the lines of "error validating footer") and it surprises me that both posts mention this website specifically. Therefore, I don't recommend it anymore. I will always recommend Frija over anything else, no download speed limit and it's never failed on multiple devices.

But then you have to wait for the enc4 file to be decrypted into a zip. On SamFW, the speeds are just as fast as Frija, but the files are already in zip format

Yes, and? Never had any problem with Frija !
Moreover, that it is decrypted into ZIP after the download makes it possible to be sure that it is complete.
Everyone is free to use the process of their choice
