General Mahe sure you update! - Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3

I was having tons of issues with apps force closing and rcs not working. The day 1 update fixed everything. I had to manually search for it.

which update is it, please?

Interesting, my unlocked models had no day 1 update.

No update on mine either

The update is region based?

Checked Sammy's firmware site, AUG8 is the latest.

AUG8 is the Day 1 firmware, looks like some phones shipped with it, my 512GB one did

I have the 512, so you are likely right that they shipped with it.

Yep my 512
Shipped with it
I always hit update on new phones and this one came back up to date

Haven't had it pushed out, but have done a manual update.
Went on fine.
Looks like us T-Mobile users are gonna have to wait ages.
I wanted to try an update before having the handset swapped for the pink hue issue. ffs
Yep, was notified there was an update available yesterday evening.
Downloaded and installed, can't notice any differences on the front-end, must have done something though!
Just noticed that there is another post RE this -

No, T-Mobile not done any updates as yet.
I've tried the Manual update and there is nothing as yet.

[Q] What version will the phone come with if I purchase it directly from Verizon?

I am thinking of making the transition from a Galaxy Nexus to an HTC One. I am going to want to put on a custom rom and from my brief research it looks like the phone needs to be on its original software version to unlock and root. Is there a chance that the phone will come with updated software if I purchase it new directly from Verizon?
Thanks!

There is the 1.10.605.08 version that it shipped with initially.
There are also 3 newer updates that have since been pushed, not just one.
All but the very latest 2.10.605.1 are exploitable still.
There is no guarantee what version you would get when ordering, unless you confirm it either in-store or via the rep.
There is still a chance that an update could get pushed to it before it reaches you, unless you buy it in store and know for sure what it has pre-loaded.
So, there is a chance it could come with the 4.3 update already, but many devices are still shipping with previous versions and prompting upon initial boot, to download or defer the update.

IOW, phones are stocked in various Verizon storehouses or retail stores with whatever version was installed when they left the factory. Since they aren't turned on, they haven't received any updates.

Finally....a New USA Firmware Update - NPNS25.137-35-5

But.....the only change listed is that it includes the May, 2017 security update. About a 50MB download.

It's very typical for carriers and manufacturers (including Google for Nexus/Pixel) to do staggered rollouts of updates. It reduces server load, but more importantly, if there is a bug the people who get it early (there are typically not that many who get it early) would report the bug. Then the second batch of people getting it is bigger, then the third even bigger. Rollouts can last 3-4 weeks. I wouldn't panic. We are their beta testers.
Location probably doesn't matter. I'm based in OC, but currently in the Palm Springs area.

Hi,
Identical to the RETEU update from the last week! Still waiting for a "real" update.
Still nowt for retgb
I tried to adb sideload the zip above but I get an error. Any ideas? I dropped the name "BLUR version" and renamed the zip "update.zip"...got the error. I redownloaded and renamed to NPNS25.137-35-5...same error
Edit: here is the error message "package expects build thumbprint of 7.0/NPNS25.137-35-5/5 user release-keys or 7.0/NPN25.137-35/37 user release keys; this device has 7.0/NPN25.137-33/35 user/release -keys"
Is there another firmware that I need to download and apply first?
Edit 2: does motorola require fastboot all the files (unzipped) instead of adb? In my other phones I just put the update.zip file on the root directory and applied with stock recovery. That did not work either. Same error message.

You should probably just wait until the OTA pops up on your device.

This update should contain the bugfixes up through the May security bulletins if I understand it correctly.
https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/
Started prompting me for this update last weekend on amz branch.
Im in NYC as well and just got the update. It showed as NPN25.137-35 but it said it was a 20MB download. I have the amazon prime version of the phone and once i finished the update, it still shows NPN25.137.33 and the security patch level still shows Jan1, 2017.
Now when i check for updates, software is up to date. Wierd. Anyone else experience this?
I've checked for a US g5+ support page fairly regularly since getting the phone. It hasn't even been listed on the support page until the last week or so. But, while it's finally listed.......there's only a generic Lenovo placeholder on it. Several months after the phone's release.
https://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/Cell-Phones/Android-Series/Moto-G-Plus-5th-Gen
I've got a Lenovo laptop......their customer service and software upgrades suck. I once sent in my rather expensive Yoga laptop for warranty trackpad repair......and they had it for two months and despite repeated checking their website and calling, I could never get an estimated repair date. Finally, they gave me a date......4 more months. I raised holy hell and they sent me a new, more recent Yoga release. The support page for the laptop seems to update with Lenovo bloatware "upgrades" fairly regularly.....but their support for more important basic drivers is pretty lacking (wifi, bluetooth and graphics drivers from 2015 and 2016, anybody? Yeah, didn't think so.). And, yeah, first thing I do when getting any new PC is a clean install with no bloatware, but Lenovo also makes it tough to keep drivers updated through forced windows updates by using hardware IDs which make it hard for you to install generic component drivers, unimportant drivers like Intel graphics drivers. So you install the latest, and a forced windows update uninstalls the Intel release and installs a mid-2016 driver for you. Thanks! So there are obscure ways to defeat that.
Oh, and then there's the touchpad Synaptics drivers (Lenovo specific) where two finger tap (right click menu) has NEVER been fixed. Takes a registry modification to fix it.
Anyway...enough venting about Lenovo/Moto poor support. I knew it when I purchased the phone, and I'd still buy it again.

Moto Z2 Force not getting OTA updates

I have a ATT branded Moto Z2 with a Cricket SIM. I got the phone in late november, and it came with Android 7.1.1 with the June 1 SPL. I know that ATT has released several updates, the latest in December with the November 1st SPL,
but everytime I check for updates it says that my phone is up-to-date.
So far I tried to check for updates after a factory reset, and also tried to do an OTA update with an old ATT SIM in it. Nothing seems to be working.
I have posted on the lenovo support page but so far I have not got any answer. I am not the guy that has to have the latest software running, but the updates fixed the BlueBorne security hole...
Othat than using a Cricket SIM, the phone is stock, not rooted.
has anybody encountered the same problem? Thank you
So I have two Tmobile versions of this phone. one rooted/unlocked, one not. I am also having a problem with receiving OTA. Mine stock device is on an August Security patch and there have been two released patches since then. I just got off the phone with both motorola and tmobile and they are both useless. I explained over and over that i wasn't calling about the oreo release, that i was calling about ANY updates and they couldn't get that through their head. Further, tmobile states they haven't released an 8.0 ota which we all know is false since several people on this forum have received it.... very frustrating. I may have to unlock my stock device if I ever want an actual update.

At least the T-Mobile versions can be rooted. As far as I know, the ATT cannot as of yet.
theres only been one update since august and thats a fixed august. the other being the oreo update thats available now
if you would like to update your phone we have the ota updates and can get you updated without unlocking your bootloader just let me know [email protected] on hangouts

What OTA for Tmobile? Mine has NCX26. 7 as stated in Tmobile support site, I do know that OCX oreo release is suppose to be live but support site doesn't show it andy phone hasn't gotten it.
Found a way to get it to download updates.
So, after wasting my time with Motorola and ATT so-called "technical support", I decided to try something: I rebooted the phone in recovery mode (VOlume down + Power button) and put it in recovery mode. Rebooted from recovery mode, and bingo, it downloaded the next update (September SPL). It now shows "background installation..." in progress. Hopefully this is going to be the solution.
I did the update manually using the file nash_opx 27.109-34_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC. Xml. zip and it worked perfectly.

I think I may have found the right recipe. The trick is to check for updates while NOT on WiFi. So move away from WiFi coverage, but still within Cell coverage, with Data on. Check for updates. It will say that an update is available and will be download when within WiFi range. Move back to where you have WiFi, and bingo, it will start downloading. I did it twice yesterday afternoon, once to go from the Sept to the Oct SPL, and then from the Oct SPL to the Nov SPL, which is the last available update according to the ATT page. All of this with my Cricket SIM. WHy this works is beyond my pay grade to figure out. I will eagerly wait for the next update to be posted to see if this trick works consistently. Again,
this seems to work with my ATT branded phone.
My ATT Z2 force, starting from last evening (1/24/2018), kept getting security update, from September, 2017. Then this morning, October 2017 and November 2017. Does this mean we are going to get Oreo update soon ?
So I've had my Moto zforce 2 for 3 days now. We're is the Oreo update ? T-Mobiles site says it was released Dec 22nd ?

Anyone on TMobile receive the ota update ?
There are issues with calling and sms on the T-Mobile variant. The update has been pulled while they sort out the issues.
Well that makes sense why I'm not seeing it then.
I am still not able to get the AT&T update past June. I tried the reboot into recovery and nothing. Is there a way to manually install the update from an SD card which would allow for OTA updates in the future?

Good. On my account we got 2 of them for Christmas. A few days after Christmas, one of them updated to Oreo. At this point, the Galaxy S7 Edge on our account could not hear the Z2 Force. Went through everything with T-Mobile support including network settings reset, factory resetting both the Samsung and Motorola phones. Didn't fix it. Meanwhile, the Z2 Force that was still on Nougat was fine. A few days later, it also updated to Oreo, and now neither Z2 Force can be heard on the Samsung. I hope they get this mess cleaned up soon since it's been a month.
It seems to be only between those two phones. Until the next update/patch is released, the workaround is to disable VoLTE in call settings on the z2.
Got AT&T update to 8.0.0 this morning.
I received notice of the Tmobile Oreo update, downloaded it, but cannot install it. It only says something went wrong and didn't install the update. I have the bootloader unlocked and Magisk installed. I followed the instructions for Magisk dual partition updates. I uninstalled Magisk using Restore Images and did not reboot. I went to System Updates and downloaded the update again. It never went to Security Update Installing, step 1. I am on Magisk v 16.0 which passes the SafetyNet check, ctsProfile: true and basicIntegity: true. At this point, should I completely uninstall Magisk, flash the OreoFlashAll.zip or the NASH_TMO_C_OCX27.109-36_subsidy-TMO-regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip? Or something different?

AT&T S9 will not update to September Security update

I just got an S9 and have not been able to get it to apply all of the available updates. When I check for updates, it says that I have the latest one already. I tried the Smart Switch software and that says I am also up to date. I cleared the cache partition and then set the date to one day ahead and checked for updates. It took a few minutes checking but then it finished and said I was up to date.
My previous phone was an S8 and that phone had issues updating too. I had to go to ubreakifix to have them update the phone when Android 8 became available. After that update, my S8 never got an OTA again.
I fear that this S9 is having the same problem. I even activated the new S9 with a new sim card. I also verified that AT&T sees that I have an S9.
Anyone know what is going on? Anything else I can do to get it to update? I am currently on the previous version with baseband G960USQS3ARG8.

If you just got it, give it a week or so.
There was an S9+ that was added on another line within my account at the same time and it got all the updates right away. Hopefully time will fix mine but right now I doubt it.

Did you ever flash this to U1 Firmware? I had a similar issue when i decided to go back to U firmware. Ended up having to to revert back to an old version of U and then proceed with side loading updates from firmware science until the BR firmware (side note, the firmware i found on here to revert back to stock U did not have a direct upgrade path on Firmware science) then AT&T started updating as normal.
I have not flashed anything. This is new out of the box.
Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
I would take it back to AT&T.
My previous phone did the same thing which is odd. I can't see why two consecutive new phones would not update for me. Is there a way I can download the update from AT&T and sideload it without having to reinstall everything?

I applied the next update from there and while it updated, it wiped my phone. now to spend a few hours again resetting everything up. i thought this wasn't supposed to wipe my phone?
Don't bother setting up your phone until you're all caught up with updates. I learned that the hard way. Just skip all the setup stuff after connecting to WiFi, then check for updates. Go back to the firmware science site if there are none available. I'm on 3BRJ6 with a November 1st security patch. This one was an OTA update after manually installing 3 or 4 from the firmware science site.
P.S. Under settings-about phone-software information do you show ATT/ATT/ATT at the bottom of the Service Provider SW ver.?

The problem with it resetting my phone is that if still continue to not receive ota updates directly, I'll never update again since I wouldn't want to reset again. As for the fw, I do see Att/att/att.
I updated up to the October security patch to see if it would offer the Nov security patch and my phone still won't offer ota updates.

Does your phone show the blue AT&T logo during boot up? Does it have all the AT&T bloatware?
Yup, it's an Att branded phone. I bought from Best buy. Came in Att box, has all the bloatware too.
Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
Then I go back to my initial recommendation that you return it. I would also consider asking AT&T if there is some way to wipe your account data clean before activating a new phone and make sure you get a new sim card.
