Bootlader locked after OTA on Note 4DE

Hello -
I've learned tons from this sight, and thank you all! I've also tried to pay this forward by helping my friends root and ROM their own devices, and I haven't lost one yet!
Anyway...I'll be blunt, and to the point:
I've run my Verizon Note 4 DE on Page Plus since I bought it from Samsung a coupla years ago. All was well, till Page Plus started sucking badly, so I went back to Verizon. I usually debloat and block any OTA updates in the past, but have had a lot going on and it slipped my mind till this morning when I woke to a OTA'd Note 4. I've tried everything I can think of, and have unbricked a couple times already today. None of the current methods, even Kingroot and Kingoroot, will root this. Bootloader is of course locked, and I'm pretty sure that because this update is so new, there may not be a crack for it yet.
So in essence, what I have here is a very expensive retail version Note 4.
I did an aboot.bak when I first got this phone, but cannot locate it for the life of me.
Can anyone help me root and unlock here?
Thanks a lot everyone!

Your phone will be updated when C185B560 will release it depends on your build number and not the country you reside in.

How to update S8+ from ATT outside the US

Hi everyone! I bought an unlocked S8+ from a friend and I'm using it outside the US and I haven't been able to update it, I still got the April security patch. Does anyone know a way to update it. I have already tried to update through settings and it shows that it's update to the last version, even though is not true. Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks!

Galaxy S8 Duos G950FD does not get any update

Hello all,
I purchased Galaxy S8 G950FD 5 months ago from the UAE. Since that time I have not received any update even security update.
I asked Samsung and they said that this version will not receive any update in the Netherlands.
Do you know any way to get the wifi update?
On the other hand, I tried to flash the new software rom by Odin, but I am facing a problem with Odin, it stops at SET PARTITION and does not go on.
Ant solution?

questions about my Galaxy S8 U.S unlocked version

Hello guys,
I bought my Galaxy S8 last year from BestBuy New York, and I need your help to figure out my issues:
- Is there a different between SM-G950U and SM-G950U1? My phone is SM-G950U1.
- I currently live in UK and till now I haven't received the last software update -Android Pie- that I'm supposed to get in late April! and have't received any security patches updates either!!
- Bixby voice is not working at all, it stopped working 4 months ago and I don't know why! I talked to Samsung US and Samsung UK and they have no clue, we tried many different way to fix it but we had no luck. I factory reset my device twice without any success either.
So please you're my last hope here to solve my issues. I'm ready to answer any questions that you might have in mind regarding my phone.
Thanks,
Yusuf.

There's almost no chance you're going to find out why you're not getting updates. If your phone isn't updating automatically you can either download the entire latest firmware and flash it with Odin or go to firmware.science and download the individual OTA files then flash them in recovery manually one by one.

More than likely you don't have that original carrier sim in it. My Verizon phone won't get updated on my daughter's TracFone sim. But when i pop in the Verizon sim it updates

I know that if I come back to U.S and insert any SIM from any major mobile company it'll be updated immediately, however, when I was in Saudi Arabia - my home country - lat year, it updated to Oreo back then, so why I got the update while I'm in Saudi and not in UK?
